Hypertension Severity Is Associated With Impaired Cognitive Performance
BACKGROUND Most evidence of target-organ damage in hypertension (HTN) is related to the kidneys and heart. Cerebrovascular and cognitive impairment are less well studied. Therefore, this study analyzed changes in cognitive function in patients with different stages of hypertension compared to nonhypertensive controls. METHODS AND RESULTS In a cross-sectional study, 221 (71 normotensive and 15...
متن کاملAge-related differences in pre-movement antagonist muscle co-activation and reaction-time performance.
Multiple causes contribute to the prolonged reaction-times (RT) observed in elderly persons. The involvement of antagonist muscle co-activation remains unclear. Here the Mm. Biceps and Triceps Brachii activation in 64 apparently healthy elderly (80 ± 6 years) and 60 young (26 ± 3 years) subjects were studied during a simple RT-test (moving a finger using standardized elbow-extension from one pu...
متن کاملIs Sudden Hearing Loss Associated with Atherosclerosis?
Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing-loss (SSNHL) patients constitute approximately 2–3% of referrals to ear, nose and throat (ENT) clinics. Several predisposing factors have been proposed for this condition; one of which is vascular disorders and perfusion compromise. In this research the atherosclerotic changes and their known risk factors are studied in SSNHL patients. Materials and ...
متن کاملPoor trunk flexibility is associated with arterial stiffening.
Flexibility is one of the components of physical fitness as well as cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength and endurance. Flexibility has long been considered a major component in the preventive treatment of musculotendinous strains. The present study investigated a new aspect of flexibility. Using a cross-sectional study design, we tested the hypothesis that a less flexible body would...
متن کاملA neuromuscular model featuring co-activation for driver simulation
This paper covers the development of a neuromuscular model for use in driver simulation, focussing on the inclusion of a representation of co-activation. Co-activation is thought to function as a combination of feed-forward control (based on future predictions of the task being undertaken) and feedback control (to reject disturbances.) A linear model of the neuromuscular system, muscles, limbs ...
