Background: Visitation of patients admitted at intensive care units (ICUs) is a controversial issue in the field of health care. It is commonly believed that the presence of family members might bring about physiological changes, such as tachycardia and hypertension, in ICU patients. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of scheduled visitation on the physiological indices of conscious ...

This paper presents a case study to determine the efficiency of the currently used heat stress indices in correlation with wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) as a permissible index at a foundry plant and to evaluate the extent of the physiological responses such as heart rate and body temperature in correlation with heat stress indices. The field consisted of a foundry plant where a shift w...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Motor coordination and physiological functions in young players are crucial for maximum performance training. To release the potential of athletes their competitive careers, it is necessary to open way careers first years performance. Objective: Analyze effect training tennis on prescribed physical conditioning its indicators. Methods: 12 were randomly selected divided in...

AIMS Abnormal physiological stress reactivity is increasingly investigated as a vulnerability marker for various physical and psychological health problems. However, studies are inconsistent in taking into account potential covariates that may influence the developing stress system. We systematically tested determinants (individual, developmental, environmental and substance use-related) of phy...

It is well known from epidemiology that values of indices describing physiological state in a given age may influence human morbidity and mortality risks. Studies of connection between aging and life span suggest a possibility that dynamic properties of age trajectories of the physiological indices could also be important contributors to morbidity and mortality risks. In this paper we use data ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of winter crops residues on weed control, physiological indices, yield and yield components of potato. an experiment was carried out at the research farm of colleg of agricultural of bu-ali sina university in 2009. the experiment was a randomized complete block design with three replications. residues of rye, oilseed rape, triticale, barley, ...
