PURPOSE The aims of this study were to adapt the Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, Dutch version (PEDI-NL) for children with cerebral visual impairment (CVI) and cerebral palsy (CP) and determine test-retest and inter-respondent reliability. METHOD The Delphi method was used to gain consensus among twenty-one health experts familiar with CVI. Test-retest and inter-respondent reli...

BACKGROUND Elevated neck pain prevalence among skydivers is associated with exposure to repeated parachute opening shock (POS). A study is planned to evaluate a preventive free fall acrobatics intervention, but prior assessment of the protocol is necessary given the complex and safety-critical study environment. AIM To validate an intervention protocol to reduce POS neck loads. METHODS A pr...

BACKGROUND Physiological reflexes modulated primarily by the vagus nerve allow the heart to decelerate and accelerate rapidly after a deep inspiration followed by rapid movement of the limbs. This is the physiological and pharmacologically validated basis for the 4-s exercise test (4sET) used to assess the vagal modulation of cardiac chronotropism. OBJECTIVE To present reference data for 4sET...

In living organisms sugars not only provide energy and carbon skeletons but also act as evolutionarily conserved signaling molecules. The three major soluble sugars in plants are sucrose, glucose, and fructose. Information on plant glucose and sucrose signaling is available, but to date no fructose-specific signaling pathway has been reported. In this study, sugar repression of seedling develop...

The natural environment is unequivocally the life support for all human systems. Far for being a luxury available only to those who can afford it, successful environmental management will increasingly become the basis for the success or failure of the economics and social systems of entire countries. In the last two decades, concern has been expressed about possible effects of climate change in...
