In this study, the authors have tried their best to check the effect of tension type headache (TTH) over age and gender. TTH is produced by stress, and it may start at any stage of life. Subjects usually suffer from two types of TTHm i.e. for short time and for long time. When subjects suffer for a long time, it affects both mind and body. So, checking at which age it started and how the gender is affected by this problem is useful. For this study, we have used use EMG biofeedback therapy. Biofeedback is the process which examines the body part by sending the wave to ear drum, by electric signal, etc. Here, we took two parameters, age and gender, to analyze the effect of TTH. To check this, we have tested the subjects by using different modes, i.e. audio mode, video mode, and audio-visual mode. Trend models have different types of outcomes by mathematical expression i.e. linear, cubic, exponential, etc. So, the comparisons of outcome are in different modes, it showed that the TTH problem affects females at an early age compared to males.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse consumer buying behaviour in the Japanese rice wine, also known as sake market. Design/methodology/approach The study applies a novel qualitative and quantitative analytical methodology to an off-license channel in Japan. The methodology involves the use of anchoring-and-adjustment theory and simulation to a large set of point of sale data. The selection of the brands used for the study are more than 230 brands and more than 150 sake breweries. Findings Age and gender are important factors determining recurrent patterns of purchasing behaviour. Small size packaging, e.g. one cup, has the highest volume in sales, for example, convenience shopping, but it depends on exogenous factors, e.g. summer season or festive events. Research limitations/implications Limitations are related with the lack of specific personal data from consumers that impedes to test behavioural attitudes driving loyalty to brands. Anchoring-and-adjustment theory can be a valid approach to evaluate large longitudinal data sets of purchasing behaviour. Practical implications Results indicate that fragmented markets tend to over-expand the assortment affecting volume stability. However, this dynamics is difficult to avoid when all participants are engaged in this behaviour and the market is strongly segmented by age and gender. Originality/value The paper contributes to the body of knowledge of buyer behaviour in relation to purchasing and consumption for other types of wine. It is the first application in alcoholic beverages of anchor-and-adjustment theory.

Human body as a universal possession of human beings constitutes an interesting domain where questions regarding semantic categorisations might be sought crosslinguistically. In the following, we will attempt to describe the terms used to refer to the body in Hawrami, an Iranian language spoken in Paveh, a small township in the western province of Kermanshah near Iraqi borders. Due to the scarcity of written material, the inventory of 202 terms referring to external and internal body parts were obtained through a field work, which took a long time, and techniques, such as the “colouring task”, observation and recording the terms as used in ordinary conversations and informal interviews with native speakers. The semantic properties of the terms and the way they are related in a partonymy or locative relationship were also investigated. As far as universals of body part terms are concerned, while conforming to ‘depth principle’ concerning the number of levels each partonomy may consist of, Hawrami violates an important feature of this principle by not allowing transitive relations between different levels of partonomic hierarchies. In addition, Hawrami lacks a term for labelling the ‘whole’.

Introduction: The mechanisms of metabolic syndrome (MS) is one of the urgent issues in medicine. Regional distribution of the adipose tissue should be diagnosed at clinical examination, as the morphometric parameters of the cells of the active adipose tissue components may indicate the metabolic state. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the differences in morphological and histological parameters of the adipose tissue associated with the development of MS in animals of different ages and gender. Material and methods: An experimental study was carried out on 144 WAG/G Sto white rats, divided into three study groups. Group 1 included young immature rats, 3 months old; group 2 consisted of 48 sexually mature rats, aged 5–6 months; group 3 consisted of 48 old rats, 18 months old. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups, control and experimental, and was additionally divided according to gender. Results and discussion: The body mass indices and specific weights of mesenteric, epididymal, retroperitoneal and subcutaneous adipose tissue were determined in rats, as well as morphological characteristics of adipocytes of the adipose tissue. It was shown that histological and morphological changes in the adipose tissue of the animals were age- and gender-dependent, and that obesity is associated with chronic inflammation of the adipose tissue. Conclusions: The results of the study can be used for further determination of possible age and gender differences in the adipose tissue involvement in the development of chronic inflammation, as well as monitoring and correction of adipose tissue dysfunction in MS.

The Impact

Background: Factors affecting the growth of the organism may be either endogenous, such as genetic factors like genetic heritage, or exogenous such as food, social and health status, physical activity, etc. A factor of great importance for human physical growth is BMI, a parameter defined as the ratio of human body weight and height. Aims:The purpose of this article is to determine the BMI in Macedonia’s population by analyzing age and gender, and finding the correlation of endogeneous and exogeneous factors and the BMI factor. All measurements were performed at the health facility. Surveys were also conducted for gathering information about gender, age, weight, height, eating habits, socioeconomic status, and education. Results: This clinical research studied 257 patients, 143 males and 114 females. Among other factors involved in this research are blood glucose, fat parameters and potential risk factors for cardiovascular and nephrotic diseases. Conclusions: After the discovery and identification of renal disease, the impact of BMI can be distinguished from pathological processes, such as irregular eating, various inflammations, and changes in the metabolism of vitamin D, etc. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 12 No. 03 July ’13 Page 256-262DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjms.v12i3.12618

The Relationship

In this paper I examine the relationship between the body in midlife and subjectivity in contemporary western cultures, drawing on both social constructionist and psychoanalytic perspectives. Referring to recent theoretical accounts, I take the position that how we are aged by culture begins in midlife, and that this period is therefore critical in understanding how the body-subject in western consumer cultures is aged and gendered through culturally normative discourses and practices. I also address the gendering of ageing bodies, and argue that, like the feminine, ageing has been marked by ambiguity and lack. This ambiguity has presented a problem for dualistic age theories, in that it has been difficult to theorize the ageing body productively since the binary language used to theorize it already devalues old age. I contend that our tacit understanding of both male and female ageing bodies is as discursively constituted as ’feminine’, based on cultural perceptions of loss of bodily control and the ambiguity of ageing bodies that become increasingly recalcitrant in the ’correct’ performance of cultural age and gender norms. Finally, I inquire whether alternative, non-dualistic perspectives might be developed that redress this problem, and disrupt the alignment of ageing with negative associations such as lack and loss, perspectives that, rather than associating gendered ageing with decline, loss or lack, associate it with the goal of living an abundant life into deep old age.

Modern Era

Over time, anatomists have been concerned with the preservation of anatomical parts for a long time. Thus, in the modern era, both colouring and fixing substances, as well as plastic and corrosive materials have been used in the manufacture of corrosion and plastinated specimens. The ultimate aim was to make the dissected anatomical specimens as lasting and accurate as possible. Thus, parenchymal viscera, which have a certain tissue thickness, greater than in the tubular viscera, are more difficult to preserve and obviously to dissect. The time required to preserve those increases accordingly. In our study we have used 62 formalized adult human kidneys, belonging to 31 bilateral dissected bodies, different age and gender, 20 males and 11 females. We have removed all the kidneys from the renal fossa and we have made 23 corrosion casts, and 39 specimens have been plastinated. There have been dissected 30 structures considered as normal in size and morphological aspect and 9 have been preserved entirely because they did not fit within the normal physiological limits. All 39 kidneys have been undergone to S10 Biodur rubber silicone technique preservation.

Objective: The objective of the study was to examine a possible relationship between morphometric corpus callosum (CC) measurements, age, and gender characteristics using MR images. Materials and Methods: The medical data and MR examinations of 436 consecutive subjects were retrospectively reviewed. The CC thickness from five different sites, and additionally splenium length, height, and total length of the CC, and the splenium index (SI) were measured with a mid-sagittal T1-weighted sequence. Those measurements were compared with age and gender characteristics. Results: A weak but statistically significant negative correlation was found between age and thicknesses of genu and all body portions of CC (P = ≤0.001 for all, r = -0.32 for genu, r = -0.317 for B1, r = -0.328 for B2, r = -0.328 for B2, and r = -0.194 for B3 and B4). There was a weak but statistically significant positive correlation between age and the lengths of CC and splenium (P ≤ 0.022 for both, r = 0.112 for CC length and r = 0.11 for splenium length). The second part of the body (B2) was thicker in females (P = 0.014). On the other hand, the CC and splenium lengths were greater in males compared to females (P = 0.029 for both). Conclusion: We designed a comprehensive MRI study to investigate a possible relationship between normal morphometric CC measurements in 436 healthy subjects. We preferred splenium length and SI as the main splenium measurements instead of direct splenium thickness, due to discrepancies regarding splenium measurement methods in the medical literature. There was a wide spectrum of results, and we compared those results with existing medical literature.

Aim: To compare footprints of security personnel with age and gender matched individuals. Background: The human foot and ankle are the last segments, the last within the complex kinetic chain of the lower limb as a whole. The foot is one of the most important interaction parts of the body with the ground, especially in the upright posture. During growth, the foot changes not only its dimensions but also its shape. The lower back, leg, ankle and foot are the most commonly affected region causing pain in security personnel during prolonged standing and sitting. This may also lead to change in the arch of the foot and predispose it to the injury. In this study, we aim to analyze footprints with reference to Staheli Index and Chippaux-Smirak Index of security guards and age and gender matched individuals. Methodology: 25 security personnel and 25 age and gender matched individuals were selected as per inclusion criteria. Demographic data like age, gender, height, weight, BMI and any injury in last 6 months were recorded for all study participants. For obtaining foot prints, ink was applied to the feet of the subjects. The subjects were tasked to step on graph paper in standing position, leaving a clear impression of foot’s plantar surface on the paper. The various distances in centimeters were taken using a transparent ruler. The Staheli Index and Chippaux-Smirak Index were also calculated. Result: Statistical analysis showed significant difference in Staheli Index, Chippaux-Smirak Index, Distance E and G between security personnel and age and gender matched individuals. The other values (A, B, C, D, F) were not found to be statistically different. Conclusion: The distance E and distance G is more in age and gender matched individuals as compared to security personnel. Also the Staheli Index and Chippaux-Smirak Index is less in security guards which indicates higher arch as compared to age and gender matched individuals. Key words: footprint, arch of foot, security personnel, Staheli Index, Chippaux-Smirak Index.

A metaanalysis was conducted on data from 172 subjects (healthy volunteers and uninfected patients) included in 10 pharmacokinetic studies of fleroxacin after oral administration. The objectives of this analysis were (i) to estimate the typical values of two key pharmacokinetic parameters, clearance over systemic availability (CL/F) and volume of distribution over systemic availability (V/F), after the administration of therapeutic doses and (ii) to study qualitatively and quantitatively the factors which influence the elimination and distribution of fleroxacin. The main pharmacokinetic parameters, CL/F and V/F, were analyzed separately by a standard two-stage approach. The covariates investigated were predicted creatinine clearance (CLCR), age, gender, body surface area, body weight, and lean body weight (LBW). The predicted CL/F and V/F were 83.5 ml/min and 101 liters, respectively, for a typical male subject (CLCR, 70 ml/min; LBW, 54 kg; age, 54 years). Modeling of CL/F indicated that this parameter increases linearly with CLCR, decreases linearly with age, and is 10.8 ml/min lower in females than in males. The best model for V/F showed a linear increase with LBW and a linear decrease with age. V/F was found to be 20.4 liters greater in males than in females. In conclusion, this metaanalysis has shown that CLCR, age, and gender influence the elimination of fleroxacin from the body, whereas V/F is influenced by LBW, age, and gender.
