The heart frequency and its variability in hypertensive patients considering A/B type of behaviour and eight basic emotions and levels of anger expression.

30 May 2009 The aim of this paper was to compare between autonomic regulation of the heart rate and it's variability within 100 essential hypertensive patients and 100 examinees in healthy control group. Essential hypertensive patients had significantly shorter ... Read more...

Single-subject voxel-based relaxometry for clinical assessment of temporal lobe epilepsy.

20 May 2009 PURPOSE: T2 relaxometry, quantitative assessment of T2 relaxation time in magnetic resonance (MR) data, typically uses manually drawn regions of interest (ROIs). This approach is limited by its subjectivity and its restricted scope of investigation. ... Read more...

The "weight" of words on the forearms during relaxation.

22 Mar 2009 In this paper we examined the influence of repetition of weight-related sentences on the involuntary pressure forces of the forearms, when in a relaxed state. These forces were involuntary oscillations, exerted by muscle movements of the ... Read more...
