Reducing Stress

Massage stimulation is a traditional therapy of the Indonesian, which combines auditory, visual and tactile kinesthetic stimuli, which can be given from early to unlimited age.  Massage stimulation for preschoolers in addition to relaxing the child is also reducing stress, increasing immunity, stimulating the vagus nerve, also increasing growth by stimulating cell growth. This research aims to determine the effect of massage stimulation on the anthropometric size of preschoolers. This research method uses Randomized Controlled Trial. The results obtained a significant value of p = 0,000 or p <0.05 in the treatment group, but in the two control groups there was no difference in anthropometric measurements of height and head circumference p> 0.05. In conclusion, there was the effect of massage stimulation on body weight, height, upper arm circumference and head circumference. But the height and head circumference were not found differences in the two groups.

Kajian simulatif telah dijalankan mengenai penggunaan teknik korelasi–silang untuk ultrasonik transmisi tomografi satah berganda. Teknik ini digunakan untuk membandingkan isyarat dari setiap satah yang masing–masing dinamakan satah–bawah dan satah–atas. Pemisahan jarak antara kedua–dua satah adalah tetap. Hasil dari perbandingan isyarat satah berganda, digabungkan dengan jarak pemisahan yang telah diketahui termasuk kelajuan sistem memproses maklumat, boleh digunakan untuk menganggarkan kelajuan aliran di dalam paip pemprosesan yang hendak diteliti. Penggabungan Ultrasonik Transmisi Tomografi (UTT) dengan teknik pengukuran korelasi–silang dapat memberikan maklumat yang lebih lanjut mengenai aliran jika dibandingkan dengan sistem UTT bersatah tunggal. Diskusi dalam artikel ini lebih memfokuskan kepada nilai min setiap gambar dan pekali korelasi 2D yang akan digunakan untuk mengkorelasikan gambar tomogram antara satah–bawah dan satah–atas. Prinsip pengukuran kelajuan pergerakan gas didalam keadaan gas dan cecair yg bergelembung berdasarkan pada korelasi–silang antara kedua–dua satah juga dijelaskan. Keputusan awal eksperimen menggambarkan kesesuaian kaedah yang dibentangkan di sini. Kata kunci: Korelasi–silang; corak beku; korelasi min; simulasi satah berganda; tomografi transmisi ultrasonik Simulative studies are done on the use of cross–correlation technique based on a dual–plane ultrasonic transmission tomography for liquid and gas two–phase flow measurement. This technique is used to correlate the signals from each sensing area namely downstream plane and upstream plane. Separation distance between both sensing areas is fixed. The result from cross correlating the dual–plane signals, combined with the known separation distance and the system’s acquisition rate is used to estimate the velocity of the flow inside the investigated process column. Combining Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography (UTT) with the cross–correlation flow measurement technique can provide more information on the flow than a single–plane UTT system. This paper focuses on the mean value of the images and the 2D correlation coefficient that is used to cross–correlate the tomogram images between the downstream and upstream plane of the simulated dual–plane ultrasonic transmission tomography system. The principle of measurement for local gas velocity distribution in a bubbly gas/liquid pipe flow based on crosscorrelation of two plane images is also described. Initial experimental results illustrate the feasibility of the method presented here.

Background: Although Constraint-Induced Movement therapy (CIMT) has been deemed efficacious for adults with persistent, mild-to-moderate, post-stroke upper-extremity hemiparesis, CIMT is not available on a widespread clinical basis. Impediments include its cost and travel to multiple therapy appointments. To overcome these barriers, we developed an automated, tele-health form of CIMT. Objective: Determine whether in-home, tele-health CIMT has outcomes as good as in-clinic, face-to-face CIMT in adults ≥1-year post-stroke with mild-to-moderate upper-extremity hemiparesis. Methods: Twenty-four stroke patients with chronic upper-arm extremity hemiparesis were randomly assigned to tele-health CIMT (Tele-AutoCITE) or in-lab CIMT. All received 35 hours of treatment. In the tele-health group, an automated, upper-extremity workstation with built-in sensors and video cameras was set-up in participants’ homes. Internet-based audio-visual and data links permitted supervision of treatment by a trainer in the lab. Results: Ten patients in each group completed treatment. All twenty, on average, showed very large improvements immediately afterwards in everyday use of the more-affected arm (mean change on Motor Activity Log Arm Use scale = 2.5 points, p <  0.001, d’ = 3.1). After one-year, a large improvement from baseline was still present (mean change = 1.8, p <  0.001, d’ = 2). Post-treatment outcomes in the tele-health group were not inferior to those in the in-lab group. Neither were participants’ perceptions of satisfaction with and difficulty of the interventions. Although everyday arm use was similar in the two groups after one-year (mean difference = –0.1, 95%CI = –1.3–1.0), reductions in the precision of the estimates of this parameter due to drop-out over follow-up did not permit ruling out that the tele-health group had an inferior long-term outcome. Conclusions: This proof-of-concept study suggests that Tele-AutoCITE produces immediate benefits that are equivalent to those after in-lab CIMT in stroke survivors with chronic upper-arm extremity hemiparesis. Cost savings possible with this tele-health approach remain to be evaluated.
