INTRODUCTION The reaction time is the time interval between the stimulus application and the proper response. The neurophysiological studies suggest a relationship of the BMI with the cognition, attention and the memory. AIM To study the relationship between the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the audiovisual reaction time in young healthy females. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was carried out...

To confirm the effect of 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7), pneumococcal nasopharyngeal (NP) carriage was compared between vaccinated (3 + 1 doses PCV7) and non-vaccinated children. Vaccinated subjects were recruited from highly vaccinated regions (≥ 60%), Seoul and Incheon whereas control subjects were recruited from Jeju Island where vaccination rates are low (< 15%). NP swabs we...

The issue of how basic sensory and temporal processing are related is still unresolved. We studied temporal processing, as assessed by simple visual reaction times (RT) and double-pulse resolution (DPR), in patients with partial vision loss after visual pathway lesions and investigated whether vision restoration training (VRT), a training program designed to improve light detection performance,...

AIM To examine whether visual restitution training (VRT) is able to change absolute homonymous field defect, assessed with fundus controlled microperimetry, in patients with hemianopia. METHODS 17 patients with stable homonymous visual field defects before and after a 6 month VRT period were investigated with a specialised microperimetric method using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO). Fi...

Školski vrtovi trebali bi proizaći iz sredine u kojoj se nalaze. Predstavljaju mjesta koja služe za boravak učenika slobodno vrijeme, ali su pogodni i proučavanje brojnih sadržaja vezanih uz nastavu izvannastavne aktivnosti. Izuzetno je važno kod razvijati pozitivne psihofizičke osobine, poticati usvajanje novih znanja vještina zdravom okruženju. Ovakav pristup učenju ulozi okoliša odgoju, treb...

Due to its economic potential, Variable Rate Technology (VRT) for nitrogen (N) fertilization has received enduring attention, but economic assessments are difficult to conduct. A great share of economic success is determined by the implementation of site-specific decision rules (algorithms for N-application). To assess the quality of decision rules a field trial was conducted. Interpreting resu...
