OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of menstrual cycle on auditory and visual reaction times. METHOD This study was conducted on thirty, healthy, regularly menstruating female subjects who were in the age group of 18-25 years. Influence of different phases of menstrual cycle on Auditory Reaction Time (ART) and Visual Reaction Time (VRT) was evaluated by using a portable audiovisual reaction t...

We present results of gas phase cluster and liquid water simulations from the recently determined VRT(ASP-W)III water dimer potential energy surface (the third fitting of the Anisotropic Site Potential with Woermer dispersion to vibration-rotation-tunnelling data). VRT(ASP-W)III is shown to not only be a model of high 'spectroscopic' accuracy for the water dimer, but also makes accurate predict...

This study compared ankle range of motion (AROM) including dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion and eversion, and venous refill time (VRT) in leg skin inflamed by venous disorders, before and after a new cryotherapy ulcer prevention treatment. Fifty-seven-individuals participated in the randomized clinical trial; 28 in the experimental group and 29 received usual care only. Results revealed...

This study used a modified CO(2) rebreathing procedure to examine the effect of gender on the chemoreflex control of breathing during wakefulness in healthy men (n = 14) and women (n = 14). Women were tested in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. During rebreathing trials, subjects hyperventilated to reduce the partial pressure of end-tidal CO(2) (Pet(CO(2))) below 25 Torr and were the...

BACKGROUND In patients with postgenicular lesions of the visual system, areas of residual vision (ARVs) are the main predictor of recovery induced by vision restoration therapy (VRT). In these partially defective regions, the elevated perceptual thresholds can be acutely reduced by attentional cueing. OBJECTIVE To examine whether directing attention to ARVs using a visuospatial cue also incre...

We developed a system for real-time rendering of landscapes using VRML and called it ‘VR-Terrain’. The system is a powerful tool for precise recognition of the plan. VR-Terrain on the web was also developed by using CGI and PERL. With the GUI version of VR-Terrain (VRT-GUI), VRML programs of landscapes can be generated very effectively. As an example, landscape of existing residential area was ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: despite the potential benefits of virtual reality technology in physical rehabilitation, only a few studies have evaluated the efficacy of this type of treatment in patients with neck pain. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of virtual reality training (vrt) versus conventional proprioceptive training (cpt) in pa...

PURPOSE In small experimental trials, vision restoration therapy (VRT), a home-based rehabilitation method, has shown to enlarge the visual field and improve reaction times in patients with lesion involving the CNS. We now evaluated the outcome of VRT in a large sample of clinical patients and studied factors contributing to subjective and objective measures of visual field alterations. METHO...

The effect of Age. Gender and Body Mass Index (BMI) on the Visual (VRT) and Auditory reaction time (ART) was studied in 30 males and 30 females in the age group of 18-20 years along with 30 males and 30 females in the age group of 65-75 years. Statistical analysis of the data by one-way ANOVA and post-hoc by Tukey-HSD test showed that BMI, VRT and ART were significantly higher in old than young...

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of virtual reality therapy (VRT) and cognitive behavioral (CBT) on ailurophobia rumination in people with ailurophobia. utilized a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest research design 1-month follow-up period an experimental group implementing two methods, VRT CBT, control group. The statistical population consisted all Isfahan summer autumn 2020. sa...
