Pelvic Floor Re-Education - Pelvic Floor Re-Education
Pelvic Floor Re-education, 1994Co-Authors: P. Norton, A. Pigné, G. Oudin, M. Henry, Stuart L. Stanton, S. Plevnik, Jo Laycock, E. Senn, C. AnthuberAbstract:Potentially the greatest role for pelvic floor muscle Re-Education is to prevent insufficiency of this muscle group. Current therapy of pelvic floor dysfunction involves physiotherapy to recover some muscular function, or surgery to compensate and in some cases overcorrect anatomic defects. None of these treatments is able to restore the pelvic floor to its original structure and function. Training these muscle groups to increase muscular tone and control might enable the pelvic floor to withstand the pressures of abdominal strain or gravity. Prevention of pelvic floor insufficiency should therefore be a major goal of pelvic floor Re-Education.

The Role of Biofeedback in Pelvic Floor Re-Education
Physiotherapy, 1994Co-Authors: Stephanie Knight, Jo LaycockAbstract:Summary This paper describes the use of biofeedback as an adjunct to pelvic floor exercises in the conservative management of incontinence caused by pelvic laxity. Sophisticated biofeedback equipment facilitates the teaching of different types of pelvic floor muscle exercises, for example isometric contractions, both maximal and submaximal, and isotonic contractions varying in speed and intensity, which can then be more easily learned and incorporated into a Re-Education programme. Study of the literature supports the use of biofeedback, but further well-controlled clinical trials are necessary to justify the extra cost of equipment.

To Study the Data Mining Applications in Higher educational System
International Journal of Research, 2016Co-Authors: Jatinder Kaur, Dinesh KumarAbstract:Data analysis plays an important role for decision support irrespective of type of industry like any manufacturing unit and educations system. There are many domains in which data mining techniques plays an important role. This paper proposes the use of data mining techniques to improve the efficiency of higher education institution. If data mining techniques such as clustering, decision tree and association are applied to higher education processes, it would help to improve students' performance, their life cycle management, selection of courses, to measure their retention rate and the grant fund management of an institution. This is an approach to examine the effect of using data mining techniques in higher education. Keywords: ERP; Decision Support; Data Warehousing; OLAP; Data Mining; Applications in Higher education.

the relationship between educational years and phonemic verbal fluency pvf and semantic verbal fluency svf tasks in spanish patients diagnosed with schizophrenia bipolar disorder and psychotic bipolar disorder
Medicine, 2015Co-Authors: Eduardo Garcialaredo, Fernando Maestu, Miguel A Castellanos, Juan D Molina, Elisa PerezmorenoAbstract:Semantic and verbal fluency tasks are widely used as a measure of frontal capacities. It has been well described in literature that patients affected by schizophrenic and bipolar disorders present a worse execution in these tasks. Some authors have also noted the importance of educational years. Our objective is to analyze whether the effect of cognitive malfunction caused by apathology is superior to the expected effect of years of education in phonemic verbal fluency (PVF) and semantic verbal fluency (SVF) task execution. A total of 62 individuals took part in this study, out of which 23 were patients with schizophrenic paranoid disorder, 11 suffered from bipolar disorder with psychotic symptomatology, 13 suffered from bipolar disorder without psychotic symptomatology, and 15 participants were nonpathological individuals. All participants were evaluated with the PVF and SVF tests (animals and tools). The performance/execution results were analyzed with a mixed-model ANCOVA, with educational years as a covariable. The effect of education seems to be more determined by PVF FAS tests than by SVF. With PVF FAS tasks, the expected effect of pathology disappears when the covariable EDUCATION is introduced. With SVF tasks, the effect continues to be significant, even though the EDUACTION covariable dims such effect. These results suggest that SVF tests (animals category) are better evaluation tools as they are less dependent on the patients’ education than PVF FAS tests.
