Intensity

tools are the most commonly used assessment tools, focusing on few factors such as the location and intensity of the pain (Coif et al 2004). Whilst this assessment tool allows nurses to quickly identify and manage the intensity and location of the pain, it allows greater room for misinterpretation when identifying the nature of the pain; for example, one patient’s classification regarding intensity can be interpreted differently by various health care professionals. Using the uni-dimensional…

processing Chest X-ray images. For example, in lung segmentation, the strong edges at the rib cage and clavicle region cause local minima for most minimization approaches. Segmenting the lung apex is also a nontrivial problem because of the changing intensity at the clavicle bone [11]. Examples of normal Chest X-ray and abnormal Chest X-ray i.e., with and without Tuberculosis infection are shown in Figure.1 and Figure.2 respectively. Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) has been popular for…

back to create a three dimensional depiction of the photo. The intensity of the colors displayed on the painting could also infer towards more information of the content of the painting. Throughout this painting Michelangelo features both high and low intensity colors. For instance, the demons display high intensity colors, possibly to highlight the emotions of the chaotic scene. Secondly, Saint Anthony is displayed with low intensity colors, which could be used to show the seriousness of the…

Cysticercosis is characterized as a parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium. The infection of cystistercus in swine is known as porcine cysticercosis; the infection of cystistercus in humans is known as human cysticercosis. The transmission of this zoonosis disease occurs through the ingestion of T. solium eggs that has been passed from tapeworm-infested fecal matter from humans. Humans and pigs, also known as the intermediate hosts for this parasitic species, can develop…

of two 45-minute halves where players, cover 10-12 kilometers at varying intensities throughout the game (Stølen et al., 2005, p. 503). Midfielders run the longest distance during a soccer match in comparison to the other positions. The ability to sustain the duration of the games illustrates the different physiological requirements needed for midfielders. In total, they cover about 10-12 kilometers with varying intensities throughout the game (Stølen et al., 2005, p. 503). Walking and jogging…

measured, and subjects were classified under 3 categories: obese, moderate obese, and severely obese. A weekly height and weight measurements were obtained, and body mass index (BMI) was then calculated. The program was described to be a moderate intensity progressive program which included aerobic, muscular endurance, and muscular strength. This study took a unique approach by assigning the participants a 30-45 minutes home based instructional video. Unlike previous studies which required to…

to increase the load in order to maintain improvement. It is also essential for the athlete in order for them to become fitter, stronger and to improve during training. Progressive Overload is done in this program where the athlete increases the intensity and frequency, although there are no specific reps recorded, a judgment is made based on the program as the athlete trains for a longer period of time, decreases the rest time between the days as the weeks go…

that vigorous to maximal aerobic exercise, broken into small intervals has a bigger effect than a continuous moderate intensity exercise. Endurance training combined with strength training would increase VO2 and quality of life. However, benefits and optimal intensity of strength training alone or in combination with endurance training is still not known. In addition to mode, intensity, and duration of exercises, an exercise program should include exercises that the patients prefer, home…

he 2008 PA Guidelines state, an adult should get at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity PA(3.0-5.99METs) a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity PA(6.0 METs or more) a week. Surprisingly, even with a whole day of doing close to nothing I have surpassed the PA Guidelines for both moderate and vigorous intensity. This is not one of my typical weeks, which surprised me when I learned I have met the PA Guidelines. Mainly because I am a track athlete and I am used to my weeks being filled with…

spaces are not. The relevance of visible perivascular spaces to SVD is shown by their presence in increased numbers in patients with white matter hyper-intensities and with symptomatic lacunar ischemic stroke. The relevance of visible perivascular spaces to CSVD is shown by their presence in increased numbers in patients with white matter hyper-intensities and with symptomatic lacunar ischemic stroke. Perivascular spaces are evident on T2-weighted or T1-weighted MRI since they contain increased…
