Elite speed skaters are exposed to asymmetric lower limb loading consequent the unidirectional turns inherent sport. This presents a unique model study effects of sport-specific on interlimb differences in mechanical muscle function. study, therefore, examined baseline asymmetries multi-directional jump tests elite using cross-sectional design. Thereafter, participants were monitored longitudin...

A 56-year-old man was diagnosed with follicular nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. Four months prior to admission, he presented a right headache attributed to rhinosinusitis. Biopsy showed mucormycosis. There was no affectation intracranial in the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but the patient became blind due to involvement of both central retinal arteries. He underwent debridement of the paranas...

This paper studies the dominance-solvability (by iterated deletion of weakly dominated strategies) of general scoring rule voting games. The scoring rules we study include Plurality rule, Approval voting, Negative Plurality Rule, Borda rule and Relative Utilitarianism. We provide a classification of scoring rule voting games according to whether the sufficient conditions for dominance solvabili...

in order to estimate heritability and gene action for grain yield and its related traits in lentil, six basic generations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field experiment. besides seed yield per plant, plant height, pod length, and 100-seed weight, the number of pods per plant, primary branches, clusters per plant, nodes per main stem, secondary...

We examined the differences in muscle power between the dominant and nondominant upper limbs of 33 healthy, right-handed, university baseball players (mean age, 20.4 ± 1.1 years) with an average baseball experience >11 years. After measuring maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of hand grip, elbow flexion, and shoulder internal rotation in both upper limbs, the muscle power of each joint was mea...

We have previously shown that motor areas are engaged when subjects experience illusory limb movements elicited by tendon vibration. However, traditionally cytoarchitectonic area 2 is held responsible for kinesthesia. Here we use functional magnetic resonance imaging and cytoarchitectural mapping to examine whether area 2 is engaged in kinesthesia, whether it is engaged bilaterally because area...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY 'Soring' is the term used to describe the application of an irritant to the distal forelimbs of gaited horses with the sole intent of inflicting pain and inducing altered gait, illegally practiced in Tennessee Walking Horses. Objective methods for the detection of limb pain due to this practice are, however, lacking. OBJECTIVES To assess whether Tennessee Walking ...
