... functions and servicing sound expression as part of linguistic performance. The anatomy of the lip is explained and illustrated. In lip tattooing, the outlining and enhancement of contour particularly towards the philtrum is important along with keeping symmetry and shape right and as intended. The coloring...

..., an ointment that contained benzylimidazole sulfonic acid as the sunscreen filter [ 3 ]. After World War II, when beach holidays and sunbathing became more and more popular in the western world, the need to reliably measure the performance of sunscreen products also grew. In 1956, it was Schulze [ 4...

... Abstract Sunscreens used for the protection of human skin work by attenuating the potentially harmful solar UV radiation. In recent years, the quantitative understanding of this attenuating effect has grown tremendously, enabling model calculations of sunscreen performance. Such calculations...

... likely contribute to wide CRRT practice variation. It is not difficult to understand that these variations would surely result in suboptimal quality of CRRT. Performance Measures of CRRT Quality QMs represent a method to measure, monitor, evaluate, and communicate various aspects of the healthcare...

... Abstract This chapter describes the clinical performance of restorations placed in root caries lesions. The prevalence of root caries and other types of cervical lesions, caused by abfraction, erosion, and abrasion (non-carious cervical lesions) are high, mainly in the elderly; and therefore...

... Abstract In this study, we evaluate the in vivo clinical performances of CorDiax FX 100 and CorDiax FX 1000 filters incorporating a high-flux membrane (Helixone Plus) designed for use in high-flux hemodialysis (HD) as well as in hemodiafiltration (HDF) in 6 stable end-stage kidney disease...

... healthy phenotypes (such as sport performance). This is because there are likely to be many more biological factors contributing to the latter, and the effect size of most of these biological factors is likely to be small. Second, implicating a particular gene in a human phenotype like athletic...

... markers). Importantly, 41 markers were identified within the last 2 years by performing genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of African-American, Jamaican, Japanese, and Russian athletes, indicating that GWASs represent a promising and productive way to study sports-related phenotypes. Of note, 31...

... Abstract Despite numerous attempts to discover genetic variants associated with elite athletic performance, an individual's trainability and injury predisposition, there has been limited progress to date. Past reliance on candidate gene studies focusing predominantly on genotyping a limited...

... Abstract This paper addresses practical and ethical considerations regarding genetic tests to predict performance and/or risk of exercise-related injury or illness. Various people might wish to conduct sport-related genetic tests for a variety of reasons. For example, an individual might seek...

... materials for high performance at the resin-dentine interface is to render a stronger and durable adhesion to dental tissues despite the severe conditions in the oral environment. In the present chapter, glass ionomers, calcium-phosphate cements and doped dental adhesives have been selected to represent...

.... False-negative diagnoses are more common, and are largely attributed to sampling issues and variable adequacy criteria. Mediastinoscopy or additional sampling should be performed on negative specimens. I. Introduction Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA...

... strategy for sporting events involving high rates of anaerobic glycolysis which are otherwise limited by the body's capacity to manage the progressive increase in intracellular acidity. Studies show that bicarbonate loading strategies have a moderate positive effect on the performance of sports involving 1...

... constant work rate exercise by 16-25% and to enhance cycling performance over 4, 10, and 16.1 km by 1-2% in recreationally active and moderately trained subjects. Although nitrate appears to be a promising ‘new' ergogenic aid, additional research is required to determine the scope of its effects...

..., spreading food and protein intake throughout the day, eating after exercise, elimination of sweetened beverages, and avoiding fad diets. As the general population becomes heavier, more young athletes will come to their sport needing to alter bodyweight or composition to perform at their peak. Health...

... of ∼2.5 h, is sufficient to enhance exercise capacity and improve skeletal muscle oxidative capacity. From an athletic standpoint, HIIT is also an effective strategy to improve performance when supplemented into the already high training volumes of well-trained endurance athletes, although the underlying...

...-alanine to avoid paresthesia symptoms and decreasing urinary spillover. In humans, increased levels of carnosine through β-alanine supplementation have been shown to increase exercise capacity and performance of several types, particularly where the high-intensity exercise range is 1-4 min. β-Alanine...

... A healthy diet, designed to meet the specific demands imposed upon by the individual athlete's training and competition, forms the basis upon which a maximal performance level can be obtained. Most athletes and coaches are well aware that diet and nutritional support should meet nutrient...

... during training of high FV intake. It is thought that supplementation of an athlete’s basic diet with mixed FV concentrates can promote stable health and immunity, in order to provide a basis for optimal adaptation and performance. The intention of this article is to build a bridge between the science...

... Abstract During prolonged exercise, fluid and salt losses through sweating reduce plasma volume which leads to heart rate drift in association with hyperthermia and reductions in performance. Oral rehydration with water reduces the loss of plasma volume and lessens heart rate drift...
