Men and masculinities in forensic psychiatric care: an interview study concerning male nurses' experiences of working with male caregivers and male patients.

30 Aug 2009 Forensic psychiatric care is largely populated by men--as patients, caregivers, and nurses. Previous research has not focused on the meaning of gender in this context. The aim of this study is to analyse male nurses' experiences of working with male ... Read more...

Effect of long term and intensive endurance training in athletes on the age related decline in left and right ventricular diastolic function as assessed by Doppler echocardiography.

26 Aug 2009 The aim of this study was to evaluate (1) the effect of endurance training on left ventricular and right ventricular diastolic function and (2) whether the normal aging effect on left ventricular and right ventricular diastolic function is slowed by ... Read more...

Comparison of different rowing exercises: trunk muscle activation and lumbar spine motion, load, and stiffness.

30 Jul 2009 The objective of this study was to investigate 3 different rowing exercises and quantify the muscle activation of the torso and the hip musculature, together with the corresponding spinal loading and stiffness. Seven healthy male subjects from a ... Read more...
