A new rehabilitation (New-RH) program including respiratory muscle stretch gymnastics (RMSG) was developed to alleviate post-coronary artery bypass grafting pain (PCP). Effects on respiratory muscle function, pain, activities of daily living (ADL), mood and exercise capacity were investigated. Subjects were 16 consecutive patients undergoing median full sternotomy coronary artery bypass graftin...

We prepared Dy1 xSrxCoO3 (x 1⁄4 0; 0:025) ceramics and evaluated their thermoelectric performances at temperatures up to 873K. The sample in which x 1⁄4 0:025 showed a higher electrical conductivity and a lower Seebeck coefficient than that in which x 1⁄4 0. Due to phonon scattering, the thermal conductivity of the x 1⁄4 0:025 sample was lower than that of the x 1⁄4 0 sample over the entire ran...

OBJECTIVES To explore the clinical therapeutic effects and safety of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell therapy for traumatic brain injury by lumbar puncture. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 97 patients (24 with persistent vegetative state and 73 with disturbance motor activity) who developed a complex cerebral lesion after traumatic brain injury received autologous bone marrow mes...

The differences of physical properties cooked rice among different mastication processes were studied in three cultivars differing amylose contents, that is, japonica (JR), indica (IR), and waxy (WR). results indicated the average amount saliva added was 303.4 ± 15.9 mg/g for JR, 351.5 16.1 IR, 299.1 13.5 WR during oral processing. proportion free water JR significantly increased (p < .05), whe...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)-oriented multimodality treatment in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients with asthma and its impact on asthma. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized cohort. METHODS Twenty-seven CRS patients with asthma who underwent FESS with postoperative topical corticosteroid spray...
