Breathwork—another mindfulness practice similar to meditation—uses breath patterns like cyclic sighing (prolonged exhalations), box breathing (equal durations of inhaling, breath holding, and exhalations), and cyclic hyperventilation (longer inhalations, shorter exhalations) to help you relieve stress....
Multitasking is a disaster, says Slow Productivity author Cal Newport. In this interview, he tells us how the modern workplace got so bad—and what you can do about it.
a26 chronic stroke survivors were randomly assigned to receive percutaneous intramuscular ES for hand opening (n = 13) or percutaneous ES for sensory stimulation only (n = 13). The intramuscular ES group received cyclic, electromyography (EMG)- triggered or EMG-controlled ES depending on baseline ...
Two key brain regions involved in movement, the supplementary motor area (SMA) and dorsal striatum, have neurocomputational properties that lend themselves to beat perception. In SMA, neural firing rates represent the phase of cyclic sensorimotor processes. The involvement of SMA in perceptual ...
There are several causes of increased work of breathing in the patient with obesity. One is the increased displacement of tissue during the breathing, both in the abdomen and in the lung and chest wall. Another is increased airway resistance because of smaller airway dimensions, and increased ast...

Which type of insomnia is caused by worry, stress, or excitement; is characterized by excess mental activity and heightened arousal leading to frustration; and is best dealt with by getting up and doing something useful or satisfying? \\ a. cyclic insomn ...
How do beta2 agonists work? Beta2 agonists are bronchodilators that ease breathing difficulties caused by bronchial conditions such as bronchospasm,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), andasthma. Beta2 agonists relax bronchial smooth muscles and inhibit hypersensitivity reactions in the bronchial pa...
During sleep, the upper airway relaxes. Pharyngeal dilator tone is lost and the base of the tongue and soft palate relax and rest onto the pharyngeal wall, resulting in a partial or complete airway obstruction, causing breathing to stop (apnoea). Hypoventilation causes a drop in blood oxygen ...
The mediator is cGMP— cyclic guanosine monophosphate. On receiving the sexual stimulation, cGMP forwards the same to the brain. In response, the brain orders higher blood flow in the penis for erection. ED patients The erection is pretty complicated because the communication between the brain and...
