This investigation evaluated the effects of a 4-week, 12-session training program using resisted sprint training (RST), assisted sprint training (AST), and traditional sprint training (TST) on maximal velocity and acceleration in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division IA female soccer athletes (n = 27). The subjects, using their respective training modality, completed 10 maxim...

PURPOSE Despite endorsement by various health organizations, there is a lack of research on the effectiveness of perceptually regulated exercise training (PRET) as a method of exercise intensity prescription. The purpose of this study was to confirm the efficacy of an 8-wk PRET program clamped at RPE13 to improve aerobic fitness and cardiovascular health. The affective response to this method o...

SCHMIDT-NIELSEN, BODIL, AND CAROLYN RUTH SHRAUGER. Hundling of urea and related cumpuunds by the renal tubuks of the frog. Am. J. Physiol. PO&$: 483-488. 1963.-A high arginase activity is found in the kidney of the adult frog Ram catesbeiana which actively secretes urea. Urea accumulates in the kidney in concentrations around seven to eight times the blood concentration. To test whether the kid...

aim : to evaluate the diagnostic value of helicobacter pylori stool antigen test before and after eradication background : there are different methods for diagnosis and follow up of helicobacter pylori infection, including invasive methods done with endoscopy and non invasive ones such as ubt and urine analysis antibody. one of non invasive new methods is analysis of helicobacter pylori stool a...

In Indonesia, pigeon is one who is familiar with humans, beside can be consumed, usually maintained for hobby or pleasure. One of the parasitic worms that infect the pigeon’s kidneys was Paratanaisia bragai (P. bragai). That worm can cause pathological changes in the renal pigeons. Evaluation of renal function can be done through checking of serum creatinine and urea. This study was conducted t...

BACKGROUND In the assessment of hypovolemia the value of functional hemodynamic monitoring during spontaneous breathing is debated. The aim of our study was to investigate in spontaneously breathing subjects the changes in hemodynamic parameters during graded central hypovolemia and to test whether slow patterned breathing improved the discriminative value of stroke volume (SV), pulse pressure ...

Helicobacter pylori bacteria reside in the mucosal lining of the stomach where, due to a variety of factors, the infection predisposes patients to peptic ulcer disease. Detection of H. pylori is important in the treatment and follow-up of patients with peptic ulcer disease and the urea breath test is the method of choice. This article will briefly review the methods for diagnosing H. pylori, em...

BACKGROUND Dynamic hyperinflation leads to dyspnoea and consequent limitations in functional capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It has been shown that the response to pursed-lips breathing in terms of dynamic hyperinflation and lower-limb exercise capacity is variable, and its effects on activities of daily living are unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of pursed-li...

Urea in renal medullas is sufficiently high to perturb macromolecules, yet the cells survive and function. The counteracting osmolytes hypothesis holds that methylamines, such as glycine betaine (betaine) and glycerophosphocholine (GPC) in renal medullas, stabilize macromolecules and oppose the effects of urea. Although betaine counteracts effects of urea on macromolecules in vitro and protects...

OBJECTIVE To observe the biochemical characters and antibiotic susceptibility of isolated Staphylococcus aureus (S. auerus) strains against some conventional and traditional antibiotics. METHODS Thirty post operative pathogenic isolated S. aureus strains were used in this study. Bacterial culture was done in Mueller-Hinton broth at 37 °C. Characters of these strains were determined by traditi...
