Isometric Endurance Of Neck Muscles And Muscles For Scapular Positioning In Individuals With And Without Postural Neck Pain, Karthikeyan Guru, Nazhath Praveen, K. Selvamani

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Postural neck pain results from poor posture, arising through the sustained, long term, abnormal physiological loads imposed on the neck with a consequent reduction in neck and scapular muscle strength. The purpose of this study was to compare isometric muscle endurance in the neck and scapulothoracic region in individuals with and without postural neck pain. Methodology: Twenty-five patients between 20 to 50 years old with postural neck pain were chosen from the out-patient departments of Srinivas College of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre and Government Wenlock Hospital, Mangalore, and 25 healthy age matched individuals from society. The Neck Disability Index (NDI) …

Health Risk Of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (Ets), Dewan S. Raja, Bahar Sultana Apr 2013

Health Risk Of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (Ets), Dewan S. Raja, Bahar Sultana

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Environmental tobacco smoke is a preventable cause of significant morbidity and mortality among non-smokers. Reducing exposure to tobacco smoke is an essential community and public health objective. This report documents the substantial evidence characterizing the health risks caused by exposure to passive smoking. Multiple major reviews of evidence have concluded that environmental tobacco smoke is a known human carcinogen and that exposure to passive smoke causes adverse effects like SIDS, congenital birth defects, lead poisoning, and lung cancer. Regrettably, reductions in exposure have been slower among small children than among adults, as growing workplace restriction protects the majority of adults …

Finding Employees With Undiagnosed Diabetes, Thomas Lenz, Nicole Gillespie, Michael Monaghan

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: Implement a confidential and low cost method to identify employees with undiagnosed diabetes. Methods:Blood samples from fasting plasma glucose measurements obtained by a third party vendor from the annual employee health risk assessment data were re-run at a cut-point of 117 mg/dL or greater to obtain a hemoglobin A1c (A1c) value. Individual letters were sent from the third party vendor to employees with a HbA1c value of 5.7% or greater informing them of an employee diabetes management program. Results: 1611 of 3044 (53%) employees participated in the annual health risk assessment; 87 employees demonstrated a fasting plasma glucose >117 …

The Clinical Education Experience Of Student-Physiotherapists Within A Transformed Model Of Healthcare, Serela Ramklass Apr 2013

The Clinical Education Experience Of Student-Physiotherapists Within A Transformed Model Of Healthcare, Serela Ramklass

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: The democratisation of the health system was a cornerstone of post-apartheid South Africa. Primary healthcare (PHC) was adopted for increased access, broader participation, and equity in health. Hereafter, physiotherapy and other health sciences curricula, research function, and teaching staff would have to be re-oriented towards enabling implementation and sustainability of the new model. This is an important consideration for the design of clinical education programmes, a learning trajectory within professional curricula that is fundamental to the education, training, and professional socialisation of emerging healthcare personnel. This study explored how student-physiotherapists experienced clinical education practice within the model of PHC. …

Millennial Students' Preferred Learning Style : Evaluation Of Collaborative Learning Versus Traditional Lecture Methods, Michelle Roa Jan 2013

Millennial Students' Preferred Learning Style : Evaluation Of Collaborative Learning Versus Traditional Lecture Methods, Michelle Roa

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Nurse educators are challenged with a new generation of students referred to as the Millennial generation. These millennial students, who have different learning style preferences, are testing the traditional pedagogical methods of nurse educators such as lecture. The social nature of millennial students coincides with the social constructivism theory that students learn in groups. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine if there was an improved retention of knowledge in millennial students who were taught by collaborative learning strategies rather than the traditional lecture method in an associate degree nursing program. Additionally, the study examined if learning by …

If consuming HMB, an athlete will benefit from consuming the supplement in close proximity to their workout. 3. HMB appears to be most effective when consumed for 2 weeks prior to an exercise bout. 4. Thirty-eight mg·kg·BM-1 daily of HMB has been …

Position Statement: The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) bases the following position stand on a critical analysis of the literature on the safety and efficacy of the use of energy drinks (ED) or energy shots (ES). The ISSN has concluded the following. 1. Although ED and ES contain a number of nutrients that are purported to affect mental and/or physical performance, the primary ergogenic nutrients in most ED and ES appear to be carbohydrate and/or caffeine. 2. The ergogenic value of caffeine on mental and physical performance has been well-established but the potential additive benefits of other nutrients contained …

Signaling Mechanisms Of Vav3, A Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor And Androgen Receptor Coactivator, In Physiology And Prostate Cancer Progression, Leah S. Lyons, Kerry L. Burnstein Jan 2013

Signaling Mechanisms Of Vav3, A Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor And Androgen Receptor Coactivator, In Physiology And Prostate Cancer Progression, Leah S. Lyons, Kerry L. Burnstein

Faculty Books and Book Chapters

The Rho GTPase guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Vav3 is the third member of the Vavfamily of GEFS and is activated by tyrosine phosphorylation. Through stimulation of Rho GTPaseactivity, Vav3 promotes cell migration, invasion, and other cellular processes. Work from our laboratory first established that Vav3 is upregulated in models of castration-resistant prostate cancer progression and enhances androgen receptor as well as androgen receptor splice variant activity. Recent analysis of clinical specimens supports Vav3 as a potential biomarker of aggressive prostate cancer. Consistent with a role in promoting castration-­resistant disease, Vav3 is a versatile enhancer of androgen receptor …
