Introduction: Heart rate is a fairly good indicator of health-related physical fitness and often used by yoga trainers before, during, after their training sessions. “Divyang Jana”, term to refer persons with disabilities (PwD) are equally sometimes more prone having elevated heart rates because external internal conditions beyond control. This study was undertaken evaluate the role NADA Yoga M...

The promotion of physical training (PT) and positive behavior in the elderly requires effective interventions. This study shows effect PT during an 11-week intervention program by applying behavioral strategies. A total 63 participants aged 65 years old were randomly divided into three groups: Physical with a group, PB (n=18), PG (n=23), Control CG (n=22). underwent six-week group-based multi-c...

OBJECTIVE To establish a safe and efficacious dosing regimen for the treatment of primary nodular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) using 5% imiquimod cream. DESIGN Two phase 2 studies were conducted: a 6-week, randomized, open-label, dose-response study evaluating 4 dosing regimens and a 12-week, randomized, vehicle-controlled, double-blind, dose-response study evaluating 4 dosing regimens. SETTI...

PURPOSE Arthralgia occurs in up to 50% of breast cancer survivors treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) and is the most common reason for poor AI adherence. We conducted, in 121 breast cancer survivors receiving an AI and reporting arthralgia, a yearlong randomized trial of the impact of exercise versus usual care on arthralgia severity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligibility criteria included re...

AIM We studied various hemodialysis strategies for the removal of protein-bound solutes, which are associated with cardiovascular damage. METHODS This study included 10 patients on standard (3 x 4 h/week) high-flux hemodialysis. Blood was collected at the dialyzer inlet and outlet at several time points during a midweek session. Total and free concentration of several protein-bound solutes wa...

OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility and acceptability of a restorative yoga intervention for the treatment of hot flushes in postmenopausal women. METHODS A pilot trial in 14 postmenopausal women experiencing > or =4 moderate to severe hot flushes per day or > or =30 moderate to severe hot flushes per week. The intervention consisted of eight restorative yoga poses taught in a 3-h introduc...

• T ∼ 10−4 eV, t ∼ 1010 yr: today; baryons and the CMB are entirely decoupled, stars and galaxies have been around a long time, and clusters of galaxies (gravitationally bound systems of ∼ 1000s of galaxies) are becoming common. • T ∼ 10−3 eV, t ∼ 109 yr; the first stars and (small) galaxies begin to form. • T ∼ 10−1−2 eV, t ∼ millions of years: baryon drag ends; at earlier times, the baryons a...

Last week we discussed the randomized O(n) expected time algorithm to compute the closest pair of points in the plane. This week we continue with a related data structure problem: (approximate) near neighbor search. Suppose you have a database D of n entries: images, text documents, census data, etc. Using a Dictionary data structure, for example a B-tree or a hash table, you can check if an en...

This week we take the limit ∆t → 0. The limit is a process Xt that is defined for all t in some range, such as t ∈ [0, T ]. The process takes place in continuous time. This week, Xt is a continuous function of t. The process has continuous sample paths. It is natural to suppose that the limit of a Markov process is a continuous time Markov process. The limits we obtain this week will be either ...
