Study Design. The motion of each cervical vertebra during simulated rear-end car collisions was analyzed. Objectives. To clarify the mechanism zygapophysial joint injury whiplash loading. Summary Background Data. is suspected origin neck pain after collision. However, no studies have been conducted on mechanisms injuries. Methods. Ten healthy male volunteers participated in this study. Subjects sat a sled that glided backward inclined rails and crashed into damper at 4 km/hr. spine recorded...
Advancements in 3D-Flash memory-layer-stacking technology has enabled density scaling that circumvents the lithography limitations which have prevented 2D-NAND Flash memory from [1]. Bit densities as high 5.95Gb/mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> on a single die were recently reported [2], where 512Gb NAND was built 96 layers of memory. As increases, with increasing to 128 layers, higher bit can be achieved by adopting...
Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) significantly decreased after 16 weeks of moderate-intensity exercise training (walking/jogging) in 17 sedentary middle-aged men, whereas leg PWV did not. These results suggest that contrast with central arterial stiffness, peripheral stiffness is difficult to change aerobic training.
We studied the effects of high intensity resistance exercise training on bone metabolism in 17 young adult Oriental males (23-31 years) by measuring sensitive biomarkers formation and resorption. The subjects were assigned to a group sedentary group. followed weight program three times per week for 4 months. In group, serum osteocalcin concentration bone-specific alkaline phosphatase activity significantly increased within first month after beginning training, elevated levels remained...
An early return of reflected waves, the backward propagation arterial pressure wave from periphery to heart, is associated with augmentation central pulse and cardiovascular risks. The locations reflection, along stiffening, have a major influence on timing wave. To determine aging location reflection site, length (via 3D artery tracing MRI) (carotid-femoral) peripheral (femoral-ankle) velocities were measured in 208 adults varying age. site was detected by carotid-femoral velocity transit...
We performed CT myelography in 38 patients with cervical myelopathy before and after laminoplasty to enlarge the canal. The sagittal transverse diameters, cross-sectional area, central point of spinal cord were measured. After laminoplasty, mean diameter at C5 increased by 0.8 mm, but decreased 0.9 mm. area 7.4% that dural sac its contents 33.8% C5. centre moved a 2.8 mm posteriorly this level. Enlargement canal is sufficient decompress cord, posterior movement may be limiting factor...
The effects of severe muscular exercise were studied in [Formula: see text]-year-old rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). Changes the oxygen and carbon dioxide content blood taken from heart together with alterations levels pyruvate lactate followed 14 separate conditions. Observations also made on fish swimming steadily a rotating annulus.
High floating-gate (FG) to FG coupling and lithography limitations have been preventing 2D-NAND flash from further reduction in die size, (e.g., there is no ISSCC paper discussing a 3b/cell after 2013). Alternatively, since high-density multi-stacked 3D-flash was first introduced as BiCS flash, recent dramatic innovations technologies are rapidly boosting bit density by increasing the number of stacked layers. The used 32 layers 2015, reached 48 2016. Also, high 2.62 4.29Gb/mm <sup...
Only a few studies have focused on the relationship between vitamin intake and depressive symptoms in Japanese individuals. This cross-sectional study investigated 1634 elderly individuals (65 years older). The consumption of fifteen vitamins including retinol, retinol equivalent, beta-carotene D, alpha-tocopherol, K, group B, C, cryptoxanthine was analyzed using brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ). short version Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) used to assess...
The effect of menstrual cycle phase on arterial elasticity is controversial. In 10 healthy women (20.6+/-1.5 years old, mean+/-s.d.), we investigated the variations in central and peripheral elasticity, blood pressure (carotid brachial), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), serum oestradiol progesterone concentrations at five points (menstrual, M; follicular, F; ovulatory, O; early luteal, EL; late LL). Carotid compliance (simultaneous ultrasound applanation tonometry) varied cyclically,...
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is one of few indices arterial stiffness that has been incorporated into a routine clinical setting. baPWV associated with markers central stiffness, but the absolute values are substantially higher than other PWV measures. We tested hypothesis height-based formulas underestimate actual path lengths overestimating values.Arterial were measured in 220 adults by three-dimensional MRI tracing.Actual from heart to ankle (Lha) and brachium (L(hb))...
We investigated a new method of stress radiography the subtalar joints using forced maximum dorsiflexion ankle in supinated position. measured transposition lateral process talus at posterior joint views normal amputated ankles, control subjects and patients with recurrent sprains. The mean displacement groups (n = 36) was 29.9%, significantly different from 43.0% sprains 24). In specimens intact ligaments movement similar to that subjects. Section calcaneofibular interosseous allowed much...
Increased aortic and carotid arterial augmentation index (AI) has been directly linked with cardiovascular disease risk, mortality morbidity. The aim of this study was to examine whether AI obtained from radial artery pressure waveforms (radial AI) can provide information comparable measurements.In a cross-sectional 204 apparently healthy subjects (88 men 116 women) aged 19-76 years (51 +/- 15 years, mean SD), [(second peak systolic - first pressure)/carotid pulse pressure*100] diastolic...
Sedentary behaviors have recently become an important public health issue. We aimed to investigate the relationship between screen time and nutrient intake in children adolescents. The present study was conducted 2013. Data were collected from adolescents aged 6 15 years old Shika town. Questionnaires distributed 1459 subjects, 1414 of whom participated (96.9%). assessed based on participants' (television (TV) viewing, personal computer (PC) use, mobile phone (MP) use). main outcomes...
We investigated peroneal reaction time (PRT) of 18 patients (21 ankles) with functional instability the ankle and 8 healthy volunteer controls (9 before after injecting local anesthetic into sinus tarsi. The median PRT in injection was 82.0 ms, a significant delay from 71.0 ms controls. After injection, did not change, but significantly shortened to 69.3 ms. sense improved simultaneously. A disorder gamma-muscle-spindle system, induced by proprioceptive deficit damage ligament, has been...
Endurance training improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation, yet it does not increase basal blood flow in the legs. We determined effects of a 3-mo aerobic exercise intervention on leg and alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction nitric oxide (NO) release seven apparently healthy middle-aged older adults (60 +/- 3 yr). Basal femoral artery (via Doppler ultrasound) (pretraining: 354 29; posttraining: 335 34 ml/min) vascular conductance did change significantly with training. Before intervention,...
Endurance exercise training increases arterial baroreflex sensitivity that corresponds to alteration in vessel wall compliance of the carotid artery elderly men. Here, we examined whether regular endurance through neural arc young We assessed eight sedentary men (age 24 +/- 1 yr) and nine trained 23 during phase IV Valsalva maneuver [systolic blood pressure (SAP)-R-R interval relationship]. Arterial was further analyzed by dividing mechanical component [SAP-end-systolic lumen diameter...
n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been shown to preventive effects against depression. In this study, we aimed investigate the associations between intake of PUFAs and depression among people according sex weight status. We utilized cross-sectional data from Shika study in Japan. The was conducted 2013 2016. Data were collected adults older than 65 years. Invitation letters distributed 2677 individuals, 2470 whom participated (92.3%). assessed depressive states using Japanese...
