Effects of Far Infrared Irradiation on Vascular Function in Healthy Subjects
… the effects of FIR on the vascular function in healthy subjects. This study will also explore some of the mechanisms including anti-oxidation and an endothelium-related gene that might be explained by FIR effects.<b><br/></b><b><br/></b><b>Methods</b>: in this thesis, 70 healthy, non-smoking …

A study of motor control in healthy subjects and in Parkinson's disease patients
… of the effects of DBS on motor control in PD. Subjects performed discrete wrist movements with and without a force field. We found preliminary indication that motor learning may be taking place with stimulation, and demonstrated how robotic testing can augment existing clinical tools in …

Developmental Plasticity of Language Representation in Healthy Subjects and Children with Medically Intractable Epilepsy
… to predict and assess language representation in healthy children and/or individuals with neurological disorders arising in childhood. In the first study, the role of pathology type on interhemispheric plasticity of language was determined by comparing lateralization in children with …

The effects of home based walking programmes on cardiovascular risk factors in healthy subjects
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of moderate-intensity exercise on established and novel risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and fitness. It contains the findings of two studies that examine the effects of unsupervised home-based programmes of brisk walking.

Prediction of oxygen consumption during exercise testing in apparently healthy subjects and coronary artery disease patients
… artery disease as well as for apparently healthy individuals. To study this, we measured V̇O₂, ventilation (V̇<sub>E</sub>), and respiratory exchange ratio (R) responses in 21 apparently healthy subjects (AH) and 16 coronary artery diseased subjects (CAD) during a modified Balke protocol. …

Endurance of Lower Paraspinals and Gluteal Muscles Using Surface EMG on Healthy Subjects During Performance of Common Lumbar Stabilization Exercises
… extremity movements which produced fatigue. The subjects were twenty 20 to 40 year old females physical therapy students (mean 27.25 ±_ 4.56) trained in lumbar stabilization exercises. Fatigue was studied in the left and right lower paraspinals and left and right gluteal muscles. Surface EMG was …

Behavioral and neural effects of training and word class in object and action naming in healthy subjects: Evidence from fMRI
From the methodological perspective, we validated the use of a recently introduced multivariate searchlight pattern classification method for the analysis of training effects in language studies. We found that, compared to the standard GLM method, the searchlight analysis has comparable and, in …

IMPACT OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION ON INFLAMMATORY BIOMARKERS AND CARDIAC AUTONOMIC CONTROL IN HEALTHY SUBJECTS AND PATIENTS WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE (APICE STUDY)
… with exposure to indoor air pollution (IAP) in healthy subjects and patients affected by chronic heart failure (HF). Twenty healthy volunteers and nineteen HF patients were enrolled. Indoor levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) …

Topology matters: characteristics of functional brain networks in healthy subjects and patients with Epilepsy, Diabetes, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis during a resting-state paradigm.
The brain can be seen as a complex structural and functional network. Cognitive functioning strongly depends on the organization of functional brain networks. EEG/MEG resting-‐state functional connectivity and functional brain networks studies attempt to characterize normal brain organization as …

Molecular genetic investigation of the variability of the GTPase activating protein- (GAP-) related domain of the tuberous sclerosis-2 (TSC2) gene in TSC patients and healthy subjects
… mutations in the patient population, a group of healthy probands was screened as a control group in exon 40 of TSC2. <br>29 sporadic mutations, 4 familial cases, 9 unclassified variations and 16 polymorphisms making a total of 58 variations from the wild-type sequence were found in the 70 …

THE EFFECTS OF INITIAL HIP ABDUCTION AND EXTERNAL ROTATION STRENGTH AND NEUROMUSCULAR FATIGUE OF THE GLUTEUS MEDIUS ON THE STAR EXCURSION BALANCE TEST IN MALE AND FEMALE HEALTHY SUBJECTS
… 20 male and 20 female recreationally active subjects with no history of lower extremity injury were recruited to participate in this study. Subjects were randomized into control and experimental groups. Experimental subjects were placed through separate hip abduction and external rotation …

Quantification of long-range power law correlations among healthy and pathologic subjects using detrended fluctuation analysis and multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis
The healthy heartbeat is traditionally thought to be regulated according to the classical principle of homeostasis whereby physiologic systems operate to reduce variability and achieve an equilibrium-like state. However recent studies reveal that under normal conditions, beat-to-beat fluctuation in …

A comparison of ground reaction forces during running and form skipping
… forces (GRF) during form skipping and running. Healthy subjects (N = 9) ran and skipped across the force platform at a speed of 3.83 m·s--1 (+/-5%) and 1.75 m·s--1 (+/-5%) respectively. Three GRF variables were analyzed: average vertical GRF, maximum vertical GRF, and braking impulse …

Reflectance spectroscopy system for real time and non-invasive detection of transcutaneous bilirubin level
… for the contact experiment. Meanwhile, six healthy subjects was recruited for the noncontact experiment, and measurement was performed at various selected skin sites. From the contact experiment, this work found a lower skin bilirubin level in renal disease subjects compared to healthy …

Hypomanic Personality and Sleep
… are present even in the euthymic state. Studying healthy subjects who are vulnerable to BD can improve our understanding of whether sleep impairment is a predisposing factor. Therefore, we investigated whether vulnerability to BD, dimensionally assessed by the hypomanic personality scale (HPS), is …
