  • Reference Values for Lung Function Tests in Men: Regression Equations with Smoking Variables
    Upsala J Med Sci 91: 299-310, 1986 Reference Values for Lung Function Tests in Men: Regression Equations with Smoking Variables Hans Hedenstrom, Per Malmberg and Hrafn V. Fridriksson The Department of Clinical Physiology, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden, The Research Department, National Board of Occupational Safety and Health, Solna, Sweden, and the Ministry of Health and Social Security, Reykjavik, Iceland ABSTRACT Prediction formulas for static and dynamic spirometry, gas distribution, static lung mechanics and the transfer test were derived from measurements in healthy men. The measurements included total lung capacity, residual volume, airways resistance, static elastic recoil pressure of the lung, static compliance, closing volume, slope of the alveolar plateau (phase 1111, flow-volume variables (including mean transit time) during breathing of air or a helium/oxygen mixture, and conventional spirometric indices. The results from 146 smokers and 124 never-smokers were evaluated separately and combined. For all lung function tests a single regression equation was obtained. The prediction formulas included time-re1 ated smoking variables and were Val id for both smokers and never-smokers. For many lung function tests, a nonlinear age coefficient resulted in a significant reduction in variance compared with.. simple linear models. Heavy tobacco smoking influenced most lung function tests less than ageing from 20 to 70 years, but for airways resistance, transfer factor and phase 111 the opposite was found. INTRODUCTION In research on occupational factors, which may influence pulmonary function, many different lung function tests may be employed in research of early signs of functional impairment. Confounding factors such as age, body size and tobacco smoking must be controlled.

Cardiac physiology services are key to delivering the improved treatment and care, which is the ambition of the Outcomes Strategy. This Strategic Review of Cardiac Physiology Services was set up to make recommendations to NHS England, Health Education England and across the health and care system about the innovations in service delivery, models of care and workforce configuration which are needed to transform patients’ experience of cardiovascular disease care.

  • Reorganisation of Cardiac Physiological Services: a Position Statement
    Reorganisation of Cardiac Physiological Services: A Position Statement The career structure for healthcare science and the organisation of the profession has been extensively reconfigured in recent years. This has led to confusion and concern amongst those working in cardiac physiology. This paper represents the agreed position of the British Cardiovascular Society, British Society of Echocardiography, British Heart Rhythm Society and the Society for Cardiological Science and Technology (Henceforward referred to as the joint societies). The re‐organisation has three main work‐streams. Modernising scientific careers The formation of the Academy for Healthcare Science IQIPS process for departmental accreditation The joint societies welcome the focus on cardiac clinical science and the opportunities to create a more structured career for the profession, the potential for state registration and the focus on the quality of delivery that is so important to good patient care. Modernising Scientific Careers Modernising scientific careers (MSC) creates a clear distinction between the roles of healthcare practitioner, served by a practitioner training program (PTP) and clinical scientist, served by a scientist training program (STP). Roles that require advanced highly specialised scientific skill and are independently performed, analysed, interpreted and reported need “scientific” expertise and should be undertaken by scientists, typical examples in cardiology would include echocardiography, cardiac rhythm management device implantation and follow up, and cardiac electrophysiology. A clinical scientist will either have completed the STP program, or be working in an independent capacity in a highly specialised role, having also achieved certain specific academic attainments. For those in existing roles that map to a scientist role (as laid out in the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) equivalence criteria), state registration through the academy is recommended.

  • Measuring Musical Engagement Using Expressive Movement and EEG Brain Dynamics
    APA NLM tapraid5/pmu-pmu/pmu-pmu/pmu00214/pmu0104d14z xppws Sϭ1 3/21/14 9:15 Art: 2013-1047 Psychomusicology: Music, Mind, and Brain © 2014 American Psychological Association 2014, Vol. 24, No. 2, 000 0275-3987/14/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/pmu0000031 Measuring Musical Engagement Using Expressive Movement and EEG Brain Dynamics AQ: au Grace Leslie, Alejandro Ojeda, and Scott Makeig AQ: 1 University of California, San Diego We have developed a method for studying musical engagement using simple expressive rhythmic “conducting” gestures matching the musical pulse. Expert and nonexpert participants attempted to communicate the feeling of heard musical excerpts using simple rhythmic U-shaped hand/arm “con- ducting” gestures that animated, in real time, the movement of a spot of light on a video display, while body motion capture and high-density electroencephalography (EEG) recorded their hand/arm move- ments and brain activity. The animations were intended to focus and simplify the conductors’ hand movements. A Web-based pool of viewers then rated the recorded moving-spot animations using a musical affect rating scale. Affective ratings of the musical excerpts by conductor and viewer groups were correlated. Statistically significant differences were found in both the motion capture and the EEG data between the fully “engaged” condition described earlier and a “less musically engaged” condition in which conductors concurrently performed a mental dual distractor task. A theta/alpha-band EEG power increase in or near the right parietal-temporal-occipital junction before onsets of left-to-right swings appeared only in the fully engaged condition. Our results support: (1) Musical feeling and engagement can be communicated by rhythmic musical gestures alone, even after their reduction to a simple point-light display.

  • Physicians by Categories

(If not possible, the data can be reported for professionally active physicians or physicians licensed to practise). Notes: - The following criteria are proposed in order to avoid double counting of doctors who have more than one specialty: 1) the predominant (main) area of practice of doctors; or 2) the last specialty for which doctors have received registration. - The number should be at the end of the calendar year. Generalist medical practitioners (ISCO-08 code: 2211) Generalist medical practitioners do not limit their practice to certain disease categories or methods of treatment, and may assume responsibility for the provision of continuing and comprehensive medical care to individuals, families and communities.
