Removal and rebound kinetics of cystatin C in high-flux hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration
(2014-07-07)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cystatin C is a 13.3 kD middle molecule of similar size to β2-microglobulin and a marker of GFR in CKD. This study aimed to determine cystatin C kinetics in hemodialysis to understand whether ...
The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during walking
(2014-07-01)
The examination of synchronous three dimensional (3-D) kinetics and kinematics of walking in laboratory based analyses typically requires participants/patients to make foot contact with a force or pressure measuring device. ...
The effect of arm training on thermoregulatory responses and calf volume during upper body exercise
(2014-06-30)
PURPOSE: The smaller muscle mass of the upper body compared to the lower body may elicit a smaller thermoregulatory stimulus during exercise and thus produce novel training-induced thermoregulatory adaptations. Therefore, ...
'Complex' but coping : experience of symptoms of tuberculosis and health care seeking behaviours--a qualitative interview study of urban risk groups, London, UK
(2014-06-18)
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis awareness, grounded in social cognition models of health care seeking behaviour, relies on the ability of individuals to recognise symptoms, assess their risk and access health care (passive case ...
Visual performance and ocular abnormalities in deaf children and young adults : a literature review
(2014-06)
Visual defects are common in deaf individuals. Refractive error and ocular motor abnormalities are frequently reported, with hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism and anomalies of binocular vision, all showing a greater prevalence ...
Development of a novel remote patient monitoring system : the advanced symptom management system for radiotherapy to improve the symptom experience of patients with lung cancer receiving radiotherapy
(2014-05-20)
BACKGROUND: The use of technology-enhanced patient-reported outcome measures to monitor the symptoms experienced by people with cancer is an effective way to offer timely care. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to (a) explore ...
The placebo and nocebo effects on peak minute power during incremental arm crank ergometry
(2014-05-19)
This investigation aimed to explore the effects of inert sugar-free drinks described as either 'performance enhancing' (placebo) or 'fatigue inducing' (nocebo) on peak minute power (PMP;W) during incremental arm crank ...
Color obsessions and phobias in autism spectrum disorders : the case of J.G
(2014-05-04)
The current study is the first investigation of color 'obsessions' and 'phobias' in ASD. We investigate the color perception and cognition of J.G., a boy with ASD who has a strong obsession with blue, and a strong phobia ...
Use of a sensory room on an intensive care unit
(2014-05-01)
This study explores the use of a sensory room on a psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU), with a particular focus on the effect on seclusion rates and staff and patients' experiences of using the sensory room. A mixed ...
