Influence of temperature on twitch potentiation following submaximal voluntary contractions in human plantar flexor muscles. [PDF]
Abstract This study aimed to clarify the influence of temperature on post‐activation twitch potentiation, a possible indicator of fast‐twitch fiber activation during a preceding voluntary contraction. Ten healthy males immersed their left lower leg in water of different temperatures (cold: 0°C, neutral: 32–35°C, hot: ~43°C) for 20 min each.

One-year seizure freedom and quality of life in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy receiving adjunctive vagus nerve stimulation in Japan. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Amount of seizure‐free days is a critical determinant of quality of life (QoL) in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE). The fractions of patients experiencing prolonged periods of seizure freedom with adjunctive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) have yet to be assessed on a large scale.

Conventional Doppler measurements have some limitations in predicting left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR). Electrocardiographic P‐wave peak time (PWPT) has been proposed as a parameter of LVDD. We evaluated correlation between the PWPT in lead II (PWPTII) and left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure ...

Effects of Age, Sex, and Exercise on Measurement of Serum CTnI Levels and Some Parameters Related to the Cardiovascular Capacity of Caspian Horses. [PDF]
The results of this study reveal for the first time that the normal average of serum cTnI, packed cell volume (PCV), and blood haemoglobin (Hb) levels in Caspian horses are 2.5 ng/L, 35.52%, and 12.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the findings indicate that exercise significantly increases serum levels of cTnI, PCV, and blood haemoglobin; however, age ...

Expert consensus document on automated diagnosis of the electrocardiogram: The task force on automated diagnosis of the electrocardiogram in Japan part 3: Inappropriate internal processing in the automatic diagnosis of electrocardiograms and its problems. [PDF]
Computer diagnosis of electrocardiograms is widely used to provide useful information in clinical practice and medical checkups. However, it is common for users to be confused by the inappropriate diagnosis. We illustrate some examples of inappropriate automatic diagnoses and discuss the actual situation of inappropriate automatic processing and its ...

Improved Polar Current Shell Algorithm for Ocean Current Retrieval from X-Band Radar Data
This paper presents an improved algorithm for retrieving ocean surface currents from X-band marine radar images. The original polar current shell (PCS) method begins with a 3D fast Fourier transform (FFT) of the radar image sequence, followed by the ...
