The Hallux Valgus and the first Metatarsalo Phalangeal joint have a major role during walking. So any condition that would impair the performance of the hallux, can influence the pattern of walking and consequently cause in reduction of efficiency in gait. One of the prevalent phenomenon of foot deformity, especially in females is Hallux valgus (HV) which is usually happened by various reasons ...

To understand the effect of hyperventilation (HV) stress in patients with spastic angina, left ventricular (LV) contraction was analyzed by quantitative phase analysis. The study was performed on 36 patients with spastic angina pectoris, including vasospastic angina pectoris (VspAP: 16 patients) and variant angina pectoris (VAP: 20 patients). First-pass radionuclide ventriculography (first-pass...

PURPOSE Beta-alanine (BA) supplementation has been shown to augment muscle carnosine concentration, thereby promoting high-intensity (HI) exercise performance. Trained muscles of athletes have a higher increase in carnosine concentration after BA supplementation compared to untrained muscles, but it remains to be determined whether this is due to an accumulation of acute exercise effects or to ...

OBJECTIVE To identify intracardiac conduction abnormalities in patients with myotonic dystrophy from their clinical, ECG, and genetic features. METHODS 39 consecutive patients (mean (SD) age 42. 9 (12.1) years; 16 female, 23 male) underwent clinical examination, genetic studies, resting and 24 hour ambulatory ECG, signal averaged ECG, and electrophysiological studies. RESULTS 23 patients su...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and symptomatic vasospasm is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Volume expansion has been reported to increase CBF after SAH, but CBF values in hypervolemic (HV) and normovolemic (NV) subjects have never been directly compared. METHODS On the day after aneurysm clipping, we randomly assigne...

OBJECTIVE: To test, with a sample of adolescent mothers (16–20 at childbirth) and their first-born infants/toddlers (average age 1 year), whether the impact of a home visiting (HV) child maltreatment prevention program was moderated by maternal depression. METHODS: The study design was a randomized controlled trial of Healthy Families Massachusetts, a statewide child maltreatment prevention pro...

Consider a linear multiplicity free action by a compact Lie group K on a finite dimensional hermitian vector space V . Letting K act on the associated Heisenberg group HV = V × R yields a Gelfand pair. In previous work we have applied the Orbit Method to produce an injective mapping Ψ from the space ∆(K,HV ) of bounded K-spherical functions on HV to the space h ∗ V /K of K-orbits in the dual of...

Design and expansion of distribution systems seems inevitable in view of the need to satisfy the rise in energy consumption in a technical and economical way. Optimal location, sizing and determining the service area of substations is one of the principle problems in expansion of distribution systems. Also uncertainty is one of the important factors that increase risk of exact decision makings....

this paper, deals with some equivalence relations in fuzzy subgroups. further the probability of commuting two fuzzy subgroups of some finite abelian groups is defined.
