Abstract:
Analysis of breathing pattern can quantify parameters of breathing such as rate, volume, timing and regularity/rhythmicity. This information can be useful to compare breathing patterns in those healthy and with disease, under different experiment conditions (such as rest versus activity) and to monitor changes over time. In this research, respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) was used to record breathing patterns in a group of healthy subjects and a group of severe asthma patients. RIP is a leading technology for ambulatory monitoring of breathing, but traditional RIP devices suffered fr

Abstract:
Ventilation Heterogeneity (VH) refers to the uneven distribution of ventilation within the lungs. Multiple breath washout tests measure VH by breathing in a tracer gas and tracking its concentration in each exhaled breath as the gas is progressively “washed out” of the lungs. In Multiple Breath Nitrogen washout (MBNW), the participant breathes 100% oxygen (O2), and resident nitrogen (N2) is washed out of the lungs. From the washout, multiple indices can be derived: functional residual capacity (FRC) as a measure of resting lung volume, lung clearance index (LCI) as a global measure of VH, and

Abstract:
Recent advances in early detection and treatment of breast cancer have led to increasing numbers of long term survivors of breast cancer. There is a growing concern about the potential adverse effects of chemotherapy on cognitive functioning. The current study examines the neuroanatomical correlates of late neurocognitive effects of chemotherapy in elderly breast cancer survivors who have survived more than ten years and were exposed to chemotherapy at the time of their cancer treatment. The participants in this study are 30 women breast cancer survivors in the age range of 65-81 years. In thi

Background Mastectomy is the mainstay of surgical treatment for women with breast cancer in South Africa. The increase in breast reconstruction after a mastectomy has prompted the need to evaluate patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) for this set of operative intervention.

Resilience is one of the most important biopsychosocial concepts in contemporary social science. It may mediate the impact of adversity on family health, and be a potential location for intervention. There is a need for conceiving of the mechanisms within families that impact their health throughout the life cycle, including the investigation of how they handle illness. One framework that may assist in this is Walshâ s family resilience framework. Previous attempts to create an empirical measure of this framework have serious issues with validity.

There is evidence that sedentary behaviour and breaks in sedentary time, independent of physical activity levels, influence human health. In order to explore this relationship, accurate and validated measurement instruments are required.

Abstract:
abstract: Individuals fluent in sign language who have at least one deaf parent are considered native signers while those with non-signing, hearing parents are non-native signers. Musculoskeletal pain from repetitive motion is more common from non-natives than natives. The goal of this study was twofold: 1) to examine differences in upper extremity (UE) biomechanical measures between natives and non-natives and 2) upon creating a composite measure of injury-risk unique to signers, to compare differences in scores between natives and non-natives. Non-natives were hypothesized to have less favor

Abstract:
Persistent pain after surgery in breast cancer has a significant impact on the patient’s survival. The value of escalating research on breast cancer in Malaysia cannot be underestimated. However, it is not known how many of these women experience persistent pain after surgery. This study surveyed previously unknown figures on prevalence, and explored the predictive factors of persistent pain women with breast cancer in Malaysia. There were three objectives. First, to assess the reliability of the already established investigative tools, namely, the Brief

Abstract:
La scoliose idiopathique de l’adolescence (SIA) est une déformation tridimensionnelle complexe du rachis affectant majoritairement les filles. L’atteinte progressive est surtout esthétique avec, notamment, une déformation de la cage thoracique résultante. L’asymétrie mammaire est une préoccupation fréquente chez ces jeunes filles. Se définissant comme une différence de forme, de position ou de volume des seins ou des complexes aréolo-mamelonnaires, l’asymétrie mammaire est courante chez les femmes, mais habituellement mineure et non visible. Il demeure incertain dans la littérature si l’as
