Phosphatidylglycerol has been shown to be a constituent of the lipids of both plant and animal tissues by Benson and Maruo (1) and Strickland and Benson (2). It has also been detected in bacteria (3,4). Benson and Maruo (1) have called attention to the rapid rate of metabolism of phosphatidylglycerol in plants, and Kanfer and Kennedy 1 have obtained evidence that this phosphatide is a metabolic...

Purpose An estimated 1.6 million U.S. adults use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for insomnia. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine has graded relaxation training as a “Standard” treatment for insomnia. However, national patterns of CAM and relaxation techniques by American adults with insomnia are not well-established. In this context, we sought to identify overall rates of CAM ...

Pain is one of the most frequent symptoms observed in patients and various treatments are proposed for its relief, including relaxation techniques. With the purpose of testing the effect of a specific intervention (progressive muscle relaxation) in a determined situation (pain), this study aimed at verifying the level of pain in post-surgery patients prior to and after the application of the Pr...

Abstact: The aims of this study were to validate the efficacy of progressive muscular relaxation technique to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and to evaluate cardiovascular and respiratory parameters that may serve as objective measures of the efficacy of progressive muscular relaxation. A total 90 participants were randomly assigned to group A an experimental group, group B as contro...

The paper describes a robust edge and contour extraction technique under two types of degradation: random noise and aliasing. The technique employs unambiguous probabilistic relaxation to distinguish features from noise and refine their spatial locations at sub-pixel accuracy. The most important component in the probabilistic relaxation is a compatibility function. The paper suggests a function...

Background: Dialysis adequacy is one of the determining factors for survival in elderly patients. Improving the dialysis adequacy highly affects the remission and prognosis of old dialysis patients. Current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Jacobson relaxation technique on dialysis adequacy in elderly people, who are under dialysis treatment. Methods: ods: This is a clinical trial...
