Background: Overweight is shown to have a detrimental effect on reaction times. Besides this, pathophysiological changes like systemic inflammation, insulin irregulation etc. linked with obesity are seen as reasons for prolonged visual time (VRT). Impaired VRT in the early ages of life can deleterious effects. Aerobic exercise promotes executive function, weight loss, enhanced muscular coordina...

OBJECTIVE Electrical stimulation of the utricular and saccular portions of the vestibular nerve improves stability in patients suffering from vestibular dysfunction. The main objective of this study was to evaluate a new technique, vestibular response telemetry (VRT), for measuring the electrically evoked vestibular compound action potential (saccular and utricular) after stimulating the otolit...

Physical exercise provides multiple benefits to an individual. However, the beneficial effect of exercise on psychomotor performance remains controversial. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on auditory reaction time (ART) and visual reaction time (VRT). Fifty subjects were enrolled consisting of healthy subjects who were not exercising (n = 25; group I...

The terahertz vibration-rotation-tunneling (VRT) spectrum of the ammonia dimer (NH(3))(2) has been measured between ca. 78.5 and 91.9 cm(-1). The dipole-allowed transitions are separated into three groups that correspond to the 3-fold internal rotation of the NH(3) subunits. Transitions have been assigned for VRT states of the A-A (ortho-ortho) combinations of NH(3) monomer states. The spectrum...

Introduction: Although vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) methods are relatively popular in treating patients with body balance deficits of vestibular origin, only limited studies have been conducted into customized exercises for unilateral vestibular hypofunction (UVH). Furthermore, very little evidence is available on the outcomes of VRT in the elderly population with chronic UVH. Materi...

BACKGROUND Sitting ability and function are commonly impaired after stroke. Balance training has been shown to be helpful, but abundant repetitions are required for optimal recovery and patients must be motivated to perform rehabilitation exercises repeatedly to maximize treatment intensity. Virtual reality training (VRT), which allows patients to interact with a virtual environment using compu...

Mục tiêu: So sánh độ nhạy, đặc hiệu, giá trị dự đoán dương tính (PPV) và âm (NPV) của siêu cộng hưởng từ (CHT) trong chẩn viêm ruột thừa (VRT) ở phụ nữ có thai (PNCT). Phương tiện phương pháp: Số liệu 52 PNCT lâm sàng nghi ngờ VRT đã được chụp ổ bụng 1.5 Tesla. Tiêu chuẩn vàng để phẫu thuật giải bệnh. Đối với bệnh nhân không thuật, dựa vào kết quả theo dõi nhân. Tính toán các PPV NPV CHT VRT. K...

Observing touch being applied to another human's face enhances tactile perception for touch being applied to one's own face. This effect, termed the Visual Remapping of Touch (VRT), is maximal the greater the physical or conceptual similarity between observer and observed. An interesting possibility, however, is that even though the basic nature of the VRT is multisensory, a high cognitive leve...

Influence of stress (cold) on visual reaction time (VRT) for red, green and yellow colours and auditory reaction time (ART) for high and low pitched sounds was studied in 60 healthy subjects (17-19 years) by digital display response time apparatus. Pain threshold and pain tolerance time were 23.02 +/- 8.11 and 249.35 +/- 64.88 sec. respectively. During the standard cold pressor test (CPT), ther...
