Introduction: Sensory deprivations such as hearing impairment that affect sensory input have a secondary impact on cognitive functions such as working memory (WM). WM capacity is an important cognitive component that processes language-related activities. Moreover, several studies have shown a deficit in WM in children with a cochlear implant (CI). We aimed to assess the performance of children...

conclusions this study indicates that low-load rt results in greater accumulations in vl compared to high-load rt over the course of 8 weeks of training. results after adjusting for the pre-test scores, there was a significant difference between the two intervention groups on post-intervention total vl with a very large effect size (f (1, 15) = 16.598, p = .001, ηp2 = .525). there was a signifi...

conclusions in the light of these findings, it is recommended that communication skills should be widely included in in-service training programs; similar studies should be conducted on broader control groups formed through randomization; and a comparison should be made between the findings. patients and methods this study was conducted as an experimental design. the research sample consisted o...

introduction: heart secretes hormones such as natriuretic peptide. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of resistance training on these hormones. methods: twenty four healthy men (mean age ± sd: 24.9 ± 3.2 years) were randomly allocated to experimental and control groups. subjects in the experimental group performed a 12-week resistance training program, 3 sessio...

introduction: drugs of abuse such as nicotine and morphine used systemically by addicts produce their effects via the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway. furthermore, evidence indicates that some behavioral effects of nicotine and morphine are mediated by nitric oxide (no). based on these observations, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of intra-nucleus accumbens (nac) inj...

conclusions supervised in-hospital exercise training was associated with improvements in saecg-measured electrical activity post-mi. results cardiac rehabilitation led to significant improvements in qrs duration (p < 0.001), square root of amplitude in the last 40 ms (p < 0.001) and duration of terminal signal with low amplitude (p < 0.001). cardiac rehabilitation also resulted in amelioration ...

background: to test the change in the knowledge of the study participants following a blended training and learning approach (btla). secondly, the paper also tries to discuss the use of this method over the classical classroom based trainings. frontline health functionaries are the backbone of almost all health goals. it is therefore essential to ensure proper training of this cadre of workers ...

purpose :   this study was designed to compare the effects of two different relaxation techniques, namely progressive muscle relaxation (pmr) and autogenic relaxation (agr) on moods of young soccer players . methods :   sixteen adolescent athletes (mean age: 14.1 ± 1.3) received either pmr or agr training. using profile of mood states-adolescents, their mood states were measured one week before...
