IGARASHI, K. Microvibration on the Scalp as a Diagnostic Aid in Orthostatic Dysregulation. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1971, 105 (1), 11-17 The microvibration (MV) on the scalp of the parietal region in 23 healthy subjects and 16 patients with orthostatic dysregulation (O.D.) ranging from 9 to 11 years of age was recorded at rest in the supine position on the horizontally flat table and in the 20° hea...

abstract   introduction: balance is one of the most important contexts in ageing. improving balance in middle age can prevent falling down in elderly which impose the financial and mental costs to society. imbalance between dominant and non-dominant leg can lead to some problems. that’s way; studying effects of similar exercise on dominant and non-dominant legs of body can prevent problems caus...

la caldera” is a high mountain lake located in sierra nevada, spain. for its position andcharacteristics it is considered as an important “sensor” for global changes. water samples were collectedduring the ice-free season in order to observe changes in the bacterial community structure. experiments were carried out complementing culture and culture-independent methods. strong variations of the ...

The purpose of this study was to compare endurance time and accompanying neuromuscular adjustments when left- and right-handed subjects used the dominant and nondominant arms to sustain submaximal contractions that required either force or position control. Ten left-handed and 10 right-handed healthy adults (21 ± 5 yr) participated in the study. Each subject exerted a similar net torque about t...

Theoretical and empirical studies have sought to explain the formation and maintenance of social relationships within groups. The resulting dominance hierarchies have significant fitness and survival consequences dependent upon social status. We hypothesised that each position or rank within a group has a distinctive brain gene expression profile that correlates with behavioural phenotype. Furt...

This paper discusses theoretical issues concerning Vygotsky’s work that have remained unaddressed in the dominant interpretations of his work, either in the former Soviet psychology or in the dominant Western interpretations. This paper builds on interpretations of Vygotsky’s concepts oriented by the unity of emotional and cognitive processes and focused on the search for new psychical unities ...

In some myopathies of distal onset, the intermediate filament desmin is abnormally accumulated in skeletal and cardiac muscle. We report the first point mutation in desmin cosegregating with an autosomal dominant form of desmin-related myopathy. The L345P desmin missense mutation occurs in a large, six generation Ashkenazi Jewish family. The mutation is located in an evolutionarily highly conse...

The present paper provides evidence that dominant-group members distinguish dominance framed as ingroup superiority from dominance framed as outgroup inferiority, and that ingroup superiority enhances esteem for, and thus identification with, the group more than outgroup inferiority. In Experiment 1, Democrats report higher levels of party identification after being told that Democrats won an e...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of upright posture compared with supine position on the dominant atrial cycle length (DACL) in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. DESIGN The power/frequency spectrum of QRST suppressed lead V1 ECG was studied in 14 patients in the supine position and during the head up tilt table test. The DACL changes were compared with changes in heart rate and blo...
