Background. Physical Education and Sports (PES) is essential to the student’s overall education. It has physical, affective, psychological, and social repercussions. Overweight adolescents are sometimes underestimated based on their lower physical performance and suffer from discriminatory attitudes by their peers and their physical education teachers. Objectives. This study aimed to investiga...

In this appendix, we first describe the mathematical derivation of the marginal likelihood of model Mh: P (G|Mh) (Section 2). Then we show four equivalent formulas for solving P (G|Mh) (Section 3). After that, we show how to obtain the marginal likelihood of model Ml from the solution to the marginal likelihood of model Mh (Section 4). Finally, we show that the overall computational complexity ...

Physical disease is more prevalent in people with mental disorder than in the general population. It is important for psychiatrists to maintain skills in physical examination to ensure that physical illness is diagnosed and treated appropriately. A sound knowledge of medical illness ensures that examination is targeted at the relevant diseases. Mental health units should provide adequate facili...

Treatment of Chinese hamster ovary cells with alpha-difluoromethylornithine for 3 days, followed by exposure to cycloheximide, led to an unregulated, rapid and massive accumulation of polyamine analogues. This accumulation led to cell death by apoptosis within a few hours. Clear evidence of DNA fragmentation was seen in response to both N-terminally ethylated polyamines and to polyamines contai...

N1-ethyl-N11-[(cyclopropyl)methyl]-4,8,-diazaundecane (CPENSpm) is a polyamine analogue that represents a new class of antitumor agents that demonstrate phenotype-specific cytotoxic activity. However, the precise mechanism of its selective cytotoxic activity is not known. CPENSpm treatment results in the superinduction of the polyamine catabolic enzyme spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (...

Activation of the feeding motor program (FMP) increases the force of ventricular contractions in heart/central nervous system (CNS) preparations of the terrestrial slug Limax maximus (Linnaeus). The FMP-induced increase in ventricular activity requires innervation of the heart by abdominal ganglion nerves N9 and N11. Application of the small cardioactive peptides SCPA and SCPB to isolated prepa...

Let f be a nonconstant meromorphic function defined in the whole complex plane . It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the notations of the Nevanlinna theory such as T r, f , m r, f ,N r, f , and S r, f , that can be found, for instance, in 1–3 . Let f and g be two nonconstant meromorphic functions. Let a be a finite complex number. We say that f and g share the value a CM counting mul...

In a previous article in this series, the authors called on private practice radiology groups to better support radiology research financially but also pointed out that academic radiology must make some changes as well. In this article, the authors discuss those changes in detail. They include revising the structure of the radiology residency, changing the timing of the American Board of Radiol...

Introduction: One of the most important causes of chronic diseases in elderly people is lack of physical activity. Studies have shown that lack of physical activity in the elderly causes osteoporosis, obesity, depression and sudden death from cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and colon cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of an educational intervention on knowledge an...
