Many people sustaining a traumatic brain injury experience vestibular pathology requiring physical therapy for treatment. This study measured improvements in gait speed and weight shift subjects receiving using Computer-Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN). A 6-session CAREN, traditional group was compared with 12-session CAREN only (0 sessions) group. These two groups were to each other data from healthy controls performing similar tasks on the CAREN. Those participating 12 sessions...
We determined the effects of transportation distance and holding times at a commercial slaughter facility on excretion rates Campylobacter spp. in broilers. Fecal samples from broilers each 10 flocks were obtained following three sampling points: farms, transportation, after plant. The farms examined divided into two groups based distances transport to prevalence levels evaluated for all specimens taken points. A statistically significant increase counts was observed both (P < 0.05). resting...
Abstract In 2008, The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU‐OSHA) reported that musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) were the most common work‐related health problem in Europe. Females are considered more susceptible to MSDs than males, older workers vulnerable younger workers. Factors specific job, work organization, individual have been implicated as potential risk factors, with current interest focusing on psychosocial factors pathology of disorders. Although there is some...
The aim of the study was to investigate effect transport and lairage on prevalence Escherichia coli O157 faecal shedding subsequent contamination beef carcasses. Individual rectal samples were taken from two cohorts cattle (109 59) at farm before abattoir post-transport lairage. entire outer inner surfaces carcass each animal swabbed immediately following slaughter dressing.

The aim of the study was to assess reduction achieved by steam pasteurization beef carcasses Escherichia coli, Enterobacteriaceae and total aerobic mesophilic plate counts (APCs). In total, 30 carcass halves were exposed (90 degrees C, 10 s exposure time) corresponding remained as untreated controls. neck, midline rump sampled on each half. Significant reductions in E. coli incidence (P < 0.05) counts, 0.5 log10 CFU 1000 cm(-2) 0.05), observed sites only. (>0.8 cm(-2)) at all 0.05). (>2...
This study was conducted to test a modular scalable vest–load distribution system (MSV-LDS) against the plate carrier (PC) currently used by United States Marine Corps. Ten Marines engaged in 1.6 km load carriage trials seven experimental conditions laboratory study. Kinematic, kinetic, and spatiotemporal gait parameters, muscle activity (electromyography), heart rate, caloric expenditure, shooting reaction times, subjective responses were recorded. There lower mean trapezius recruitment for...
The antimicrobial resistance profiles of Campylobacter isolates recovered from a range retail food samples ( n =374) and humans =314) to eight compounds were investigated. High levels in C. jejuni observed for ceftiofur (58%), ampicillin (25%) nalidixic acid (17%) with lower streptomycin (7·9%) chloramphenicol (8·3%). A total 80% human resistant ceftiofur, while 17% showed acid, 8·6% 4·1% chloramphenicol. Resistance clinically relevant antimicrobials such as erythromycin, ciprofloxacin...
Background Two surgical techniques for performing a transtibial amputation include traditional approach and bone bridge approach. To date, there is no conclusive evidence of superiority either technique in terms temporal-spatial, kinetic, mechanical work parameters. Questions/purposes We sought to compare instrumented three-dimensional gait parameters measurements patients who had undergone or at the level. Residual limb length its effect on those functional outcomes was secondary interest...
