Good morning Vietnam

Effects of load on good morning kinematics and EMG activity

Many strength and conditioning coaches utilize the good morning (GM) to strengthen the hamstrings and spinal erectors. However, little research exists on its electromyography (EMG) activity and kinematics, and how these variables change as a function of load. The purpose of this investigation was to examine how estimated hamstring length, integrated EMG (IEMG) activity of the hamstrings and spi...

Vietnam! Vietnam!

This remarkable compilation of documents and photographs by Felix Greene is far more a shock tactic than a book?but how necessary a shock this still seems to be. Why on earth do we still need a book like this to be written for us? Why can we not seize some sort of awareness of the situation in Vietnam on the considerable base of published work on the subject that already exists? Perhaps because...

Good morning creativity: task reactivation during sleep enhances beneficial effect of sleep on creative performance.

Both scientists and artists have suggested that sleep facilitates creativity, and this idea has received substantial empirical support. In the current study, we investigate whether one can actively enhance the beneficial effect of sleep on creativity by covertly reactivating the creativity task during sleep. Individuals' creative performance was compared after three different conditions: sleep-...

Spot sputum samples are at least as good as early morning samples for identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis

BACKGROUND The use of early morning sputum samples (EMS) to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) can result in treatment delay given the need for the patient to return to the clinic with the EMS, increasing the chance of patients being lost during their diagnostic workup. However, there is little evidence to support the superiority of EMS over spot sputum samples. In this new analysis of the REMoxTB stud...
