Differences in Abdominal Muscle Activation Patterns of Younger and Older Adults Performing an Asymmetric Leg-Loading Task
(Elsevier, 2009-11)
Objectives: To determine whether differences exist between younger (20-50 years) and
older adults ( 65 years) in abdominal muscle amplitudes, temporal patterns, and threedimensional
(3D) pelvic motion, while performing ...
Activation amplitude patterns do not change for back muscles but are altered for abdominal muscles between dominant and non-dominant hands during one-handed lifts
(SpringerLink, 2009-05)
It is assumed when lifting with the dominant hand that the relationship between contralateral and ipsilateral trunk muscle responses are similar to when lifting with the non-dominant hand. The purpose of this study was to ...
The interpretation of abdominal wall muscle recruitment strategies change when the electrocardiogram (ECG) is removed from the electromyogram (EMG)
(Elsevier, 2009-04)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ECG artifact on low-level trunk muscle activation amplitudes and assess the effectiveness of two methods used to remove the ECG. Simulations were performed and ...
Electromyographic assessment of trunk muscle activation amplitudes during a simulated lifting task using pattern recognition techniques
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
This study sought to determine the patterns of neuromuscular response from 24-trunk muscle sites during a symmetrical lift and replace task. Surface electromyograms (EMG) and kinematic variables were recorded from 29 healthy ...
Drug Use Management and Policy Residency: A Service-Learning Application
(American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, 2005)
Objectives. To establish, implement, and evaluate a drug use management and policy residency program within the context of a service-learning framework.
Design. Residents completed a 4-month term in which they were ...
The relationship between type of drug therapy and blood glucose self-monitoring test strips claimed by beneficiaries of the Seniors' Pharmacare Program in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2008)
BACKGROUND: The healthcare expenditure on self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) test strips under the Nova Scotia Seniors' Pharmacare Program (NSSPP) has increased significantly in recent years. The objective of this ...
Lipophilic sugar nucleotide synthesis by structure-based design of nucleotidylyltransferase substrates
(2008-02)
Structure-based design of alkyl sugar-1-phosphates provides an efficient
nucleotidylyltransferase-catalyzed synthesis of a series of new lipophilic sugar nucleotides
possessing long or branched alkyl chains, thereby ...
Universal intermittent properties of particle trajectories in highly turbulent flows
(2008-06)
We present a collection of eight data sets from state-of-the-art experiments and
numerical simulations on turbulent velocity statistics along particle trajectories
obtained in different flows with Reynolds numbers in ...
Development and validation of a sensitive and specific HPLC assay of cladribine for pharmacokinetics studies in rats
(2007)
PURPOSE: To develop and validate a sensitive and specific HPLC assay for cladribine
(CdA) in plasma for pharmacokinetic studies in rats. METHODS: CdA and the internal
standard AZT were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Chem. ...
Structure-activity analysis of quorum-sensing signaling peptides from Streptococcus mutans
(2007-02)
Streptococcus mutans secretes and utilizes a 21-amino-acid signaling peptide pheromone to
initiate quorum sensing for genetic competence, biofilm formation, stress responses, and bacteriocin
production. In this study, we ...
