abstract background: fatigue is the most common side effect of chemotherapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all).acupressure is one of the most popular non‑pharmacologic methods used to reduce fatigue in other settings. the aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of acupressure on reducing fatigue among children with all compared with a placebo treatment. materials and method...

Shei R-J, Mickleborough TD. Relative Contributions of Central and Peripheral Factors in Human Muscle Fatigue during Exercise: A Brief Review. JEPonline 2013;16(6):1-17. Exercise performance is limited by fatigue, which is characterized as central or peripheral depending on whether it develops proximal or distal to the neuromuscular junction. Both models account for detriments in the ability of ...

driver fatigue is one of the main causes of road accidents. this study aimed to estimate bus driver fatigue through performance measures in a virtual driving environment. the study was conducted on thirty professional male bus drivers participated in a two-hour drive session. the driver subjective fatigue was assessed by fatigue visual analogue scale (f-vas) on 10 min intervals. at the same tim...

THE ORIGINS OF FATIGUE during exercise have intrigued scientists for well over a century and have proven to be a rich, but complex, area of investigation. Understanding fatigue and the consequent exercise limitation is not just an intellectual curiosity, but has far-reaching implications that traverse the broad spectrum of our communities. In chronically diseased or acutely ill patients, fatigu...

An evaluation of the fatigue crack resistance of human dentin was conducted to identify the degree of degradation that arises with aging and the dependency on tubule orientation. Fatigue crack growth was achieved in specimens of coronal dentin through application of Mode I cyclic loading and over clinically relevant lengths (0 ≤ a ≤ 2 mm). The study considered two directions of cyclic crack gro...

This paper describes method for detecting the early signs of fatigue in train drivers. As soon as the train driver is falling in symptoms of fatigue immediate message will be transfer to the control room indicating the status of the drivers. In addition of the advance technology of heart rate sensors is also added in the system for correct detection of status of driver if in either case driver ...

Saccadic eye movements and their neurological control signals change significantly as the human fatigues. Electronic instrumentation with a bandwidth extending from DC to 1 kHz enabled the recording of anomalous looking saccadic eye movements that occurred as the subject's physiological state changed. Fatigue can produce: overlapping saccades in which the high-frequency saccadic bursts should s...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the ability of a nonlinear ultrasound technique, the so-called nonlinear resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (NRUS) technique, for detecting early microdamage accumulation in cortical bone induced by four-point bending fatigue. Small parallelepiped beam-shaped human cortical bone specimens were subjected to cyclic four-point bending fatigue in several ste...

background : previous studies have investigated different effects of muscle fatigue on body systems. however, there are no reports on the effect of fatigue protocol and its level on musculotendinous stiffness (mts) of the tricep-surae. this study was designed to compare the effects of 2 levels of submaximal fatigue contraction on mts of triceps-surae. methods: twenty female students by simple r...

conclusions with respect to the findings of the study, this method of treatment is recommended due to being cost efficient, easy, applicable, and flexible for alleviating the effect of fatigue on the personal, psychological, and social aspects of life quality in patients on hemodialysis. results the mean of the fatigue score within the research units was 42.37. overall, 42.2% and 56.1% of the p...
