The present study aimed to examine movement difficulties among typically developing 8- to 9-year-old elementary students in Greece and to investigate the possible effects of a balance training program to those children assessed with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). The Body Coordination Test for Children (BCTC; Körperkoordinationstest fur Kinder, KTK, Kiphard & Schilling, 1974) was ch...

BACKGROUND Trauma resuscitation involves multidisciplinary teams under surgical leadership in most US trauma centers. Because many trauma centers have also incorporated emergency department (ED) physicians, shared and cross-disciplinary leadership structures often occur. Our study identifies leadership structures and examines the effects of cross-disciplinary leadership on trauma teamwork. ME...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several recent studies have shown that sonographic contrast agents may affect transcranial Doppler evaluation of the arterial peak systolic velocity (PSV). Some investigators reported an increase in PSV, and others reported no change in PSV compared with baseline values. This study was conducted to determine the effect of sonographic contrast agent on PSV measured in norm...

Objectives: To characterize the contents of emotions experienced by elite table tennis players during highstakesmatches and the situational elements that contribute to these experiences. Design: A four-case study. Method: Three top-level table tennis players from the French Men’s Table Tennis Team volunteered toparticipate in the study. Four matches were studied. Procedures involved: (a) videot...

Providing real-time, interactive immersive surgical training has been a key research area in telemedicine. Earlier approaches have mainly adopted videotaped training that can only show imagery from a fixed view point. Recent advances on commodity 3D imaging have enabled a new paradigm for immersive surgical training by acquiring nearly complete 3D reconstructions of actual surgical procedures. ...

The nestling diet of the Fairy Pitta (Pitta nympha) was studied by videotaping during breeding period in Jeju Island, 2009. Earthworms of several species were the most common food resources for nestlings, averaging 82% of all items, followed by 4% of Homoptera larvae. The remaining was only rarely recorded, including Lepidopteran larvae and adults, slugs, spiders, beetle adults and larvae (Cole...

A growing number of construction engineering students complain about the lack of engagement and interaction with the learning environment. A major factor contributing to this issue is that instructors in most construction and civil engineering programs still rely on traditional teaching methods including the use of chalkboard, printed handouts, and computer presentations that are often verbose ...

Epileptic seizures are clinical manifestations of neuronal discharges characterized by hyperexcitability and/or hypersynchrony in the cortex and other subcortical regions. The pilocarpine (PILO) model of epilepsy mimics temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) in humans. In the present study, we used a more selective approach: microinjection of PILO into the hilus of the dentate gyrus (H-PILO). Our main go...

Dysphagia due to cricopharyngeal dysfunction is well known; however, there have been no previous data indicating an association between cricopharyngeal dysfunction and COPD. After observing marked cricopharyngeal dysfunction with aspiration in three patients who had frequent and severe exacerbations of COPD, we performed pharyngoesophageal examinations with videotaping in another 22 nonrandomiz...

based artists Lyn Blumenthal and Kate Horsfield began videotaping informal interviews with women artists. In the years that followed, as both Blumenthal and Horsfield completed MFA degrees at the School of the Art Institute and established the Video Data Bank (VDB) there in 1976, the two continued to collaboratively videotape interviews, formalizing the interview series under the name On Art an...
