The system adjusted the difficulty of the game
The system adjusted the difficulty of the game to the patient&ac motors Factory39;s heartbeat, making the challenge just right.The fact that this cycling exercise can take place entirely at home is a major advantage for patients, as this greatly enhances the feasibility of the treatment.For example, the participants could race against their own previous performance -- a "ghost rider" -- or against a group of other cyclists.."We were pleasantly surprised that people with Parkinson's disease were able to adhere to their exercise regimes so well."This study is very # important. As such, exercise is a very useful addition to the medication," said PhD candidate Nicolien van der Kolk. Both groups had a motivational app at their disposal, which offered the participants rewards for exercising.The motor disability of the cycling group was also significantly better: according to the gold standard (the MDS-UPDRS score), the cycling group scored on average 4.The challenges also became more difficult as the participants got fitter.
The participants were divided into two groups. (Photo: ANI) Washington: Patients in the initial stages of Parkinson's disease shall workout regularly for 6 months at home to get positive effect comparable to that of conventional Parkinson's medication. Also, this new 'exergaming' approach that we have developed is very suitable to achieve long-term improvements in exercise behaviour for patients with a range of other disorders that could also benefit from regular exercise," said Principal investigator Professor Bas Bloem.The control group only performed stretching exercises, while the active intervention group was instructed to exercise for 30-45 minutes on a stationary bicycle at home, at least three times a week.Thanks to these motivating elements, the participants faithfully complied with the cycling exercise regime three times a week for 6 months. The beneficial effect on their motor disability was also large enough to be clinically relevant.
Cycling patients had significantly better cardiovascular fitness, which has many obvious advantages.2 points lower than the control group.The active group's exercise bikes were also equipped with motivating games, making the program more entertaining and challenging for the participants.After the study, cycling patients had significantly better cardiovascular fitness, which has many obvious advantages.This is a rather large effect, comparable to that of several conventional Parkinson's drugs.Exercising at home has positive effect on Parkinson's patients: Study. We can now start researching whether much more long-term cycling can also slow the disease progression.According to the paper published in the journal, 'The Lancet Neurology,' the Park-in-Shape study, funded by ZonMW (Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development), tested an innovative solution for this challenge

People kept telling me what to do
17-year-old Shiana Kaur Virdi put her books aside to conquer the Himalayas on a
gearless scooter Shiana Kaur Virdi 17-year-old Shiana Kaur Virdi put her books
aside to conquer the Himalayas on a gearless scooterWhile her classmates are
busy preparing for their board exams, Shiana Kaur Virdi, a Class 12 student from
Mumbai, rode some of the toughest terrains in the Himalayas on her scooter.
"Raid De Himalayasâ€, which claims to be the world’s highest rally raid, was
initiated in 1999. They recently held their 17th edition of brake motors
Suppliers the rally that flagged off from Shimla and ended in Srinagar.The
17-year-old was the youngest of 250 participants in the rally. A commerce
student from S.M.
Shetty Junior College, she has been regularly participating in
several racing events and Raid was her first rallying event. "Last year I
participated in three championships and this year, so far in one. Two more are
coming up soon in Pune and Bangalore and I’ll be going for them as well,†says
Shiana, who is also a regular at the National Supercross Championship. Being
underage, she could only manage a license for gearless scooters. "Initially, no
one accepted the idea of me doing a (rally) raid at this age, but then with
Mahindra rider Shamim Khan’s reference I got a sponsorship from Mahindra and
that helped me a lot.â€Bitten by the bikers’ bug: The thrill of wheels lies in
the family. Shiana says, "Actually, my dad is very fond of off-roading and cars.
My dad taught my younger brother and me how to ride a bike,†she adds.
Shiana
started riding her Yamaha RX100 about three years ago and it was with her
brother that she started racing. Initially it was just an idea of a race between
siblings, which grew organically one step at a time. "We used to go to a small
racetrack in Mumbai. Later we got to know about the track in Nashik (Kute
supercross track). Every weekend we would go there and would meet all the
current riders and champions, who taught us how to race. So we started
practising over there and then we came to know about the National Championships
and so on,†Shiana says. We are family: She didn’t feel any sense of discomfort
being among riders aged between 20 and 30. And that was partially because,
"everyone was covered with their helmets, so no one really noticed,†she says.
But she did get pampered a lot.
People kept telling me what to do, what not to
do and so on,†she says. She also mentioned how a group of bikers are "like
family†and everyone supports each other. "Most of the bikers who participated
in Raid De Himalayas also take part in the National Championship as well,†she
said. Raj Singh Rathore, Amber Udasi, Tsering Lakhpa, Venu Ramesh Kumar, Suresh
Rana and Parminder Thakur are some of the participants who are regulars at the
several national motor sport events who she met at the Himalayan rally. The
ride: Shiana had a rocky start. In the first leg of the event — the first
transport from Hotel Peterhoff in Shimla to Mathiyana — she lost her way.
I had
the navigator, but I was completely new to it. So there was a bridge, where I
was supposed to go up, but the people standing over there told me to go down.
After riding about 10 kilometres, I realised that this was not the way. There
were satellite issues too, so the navigator was also not being able to show me
the way. Then when I started asking the locals I realised that I had go back 10
kilometres and go above the bridge.†That was not the end of her woes. She also
had a fall while taking a turn but since she was fully geared, she remained
unscathed by the accident. "The roads were terrible. And since I was on a
scooter, with smaller wheels, the shock absorption was a big challenge.â€
The road
ahead:Even though she couldn’t complete the entire raid, Shiana is more than
happy to have participated in the rally. She completed the first two legs of the
rally but soon she joined a service team. "From Manali to Dalhousie, I became a
part of the service crew that cater to the bikes and cars at several points.
Being a part of the service is tough, since you don’t get to sleep at night. You
reach the destination where the race is going to end at night and once the
bikers reach, you service their bikes,†she explains.
She went from Manali to
Srinagar this way. She says she enjoyed every moment of the entire experience.
Currently, she is balancing her academics and passion really well, preparing for
her board exams along with two upcoming rallies —Desert Storm (Rajasthan) and
the Indian National Rally Championship. She has plans of joining the Civil
Services eventually but she is clear about not giving up on her passion of
riding bikes. Shiana says, "If one has a passion, one should follow it with
utmost sincerity and I will do that.†feedback.age@gmail.com

The government is looking at it as a great opportunity
Govt will meet companies between Aug 26 and Sept 5 to suggest the best
investment zones for their operations. Wholesale brake
motors Apple, Wistron, Pegatron and Foxconn did not respond to a request for
comment. (Photo: AP) New Delhi: Government is targeting companies including
Apple, Foxconn and Wistron Corp with a charm offensive aimed at encouraging them
to shift business out of trade war-hit China, according to a source and a
document seen by Reuters.Several Indian officials met on August 14 and discussed
a list of "target companies†that also include Taiwan-headquartered contract
manufacturer Pegatron Corp, a source with direct knowledge said.
The dispute
between the United States and China, the world’s two largest economies, has led
to higher tariffs on goods worth billions of dollars and disrupted global supply
chains, prompting companies to look at other investment avenues to escape higher
tariffs.Amid suggestions that India is late to capitalise on the trade war,
government ministries have been asked to submit their policies and incentive
structures to Invest India, the country’s foreign investment promotion agency.
Nine sectors including electronics, autos, pharmaceuticals and telecoms will be
targeted.The document said the government will meet companies between August 26
and September 5 to suggest the best investment zones for their operations. State
governments will also participate.
A "complete package†detailing market factors
and Indian incentives on offer will then be readied for presenting to potential
investors, according to the government record of the August 14 meeting seen by
Reuters.Apple, Wistron, Pegatron and Foxconn did not respond to a request for
comment.It is not clear whether the government will dole out new incentives or
just detail existing ones, but the document shows India wants to explore
opportunities and move swiftly, even as some fear it has missed the bus.As
companies think about rebuilding supply chains outside of China, a major global
manufacturing hub, nations such as Vietnam have emerged as top destinations
given the faster clearances and stable policies they offer, industry experts
say.Alphabet Inc’s Google is shifting its Pixel smartphone production to Vietnam
from China starting this year, the Nikkei business daily reported on
Wednesday.
There is one other monster country that has a huge domestic market,
India, but they have got to get moving,†said Richard Rossow, a US-India
specialist at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in
Washington."There is no time to waste in catching that new wave and in fact the
question is: Have they already missed it?â€BENEFITING FROM TARIFFS WARThe Sino-US
trade war has also rattled global automotive supply chains and affected big
automakers.Indian officials this week separately met local delegates of
automakers including Volkswagen, Hyundai Motor Co and Honda Motor Co to see if
they would consider moving some supply chain operations from China to India,
according to the source and an industry official who attended the meeting.
The
government is looking at it as a great opportunity,†said the industry
official.Honda declined to comment, while Volkswagen and Hyundai did not respond
to Reuters’ request.The protracted trade dispute has also jolted Apple, which
faces levies of 15 per cent imposed by the US administration on major products
made in China such as smartwatches on Sept 1, with a tariff on its iPhone to
take effect on Dec 15.India is the world’s second-biggest smartphone market with
huge room for growth. But while the likes of Foxconn, which assembles Apple
phones in India, have deepened their India presence, executives say nations such
as China offer a more skilled workforce and a better organised components
ecosystem.A senior smartphone industry executive in India said future corporate
investment decisions would rely mostly on whether a country can offer policy
stability and faster clearances."Vietnam at the end of the day is a small
country and the potential of growing to super-scale, multi-tier supply chain
capability is not possible,†said the executive.
The Indian government will also
share a list of foreign companies with its consulates which will be tasked to
fix meetings with the firms at their headquarters."This exercise to start first
with Chinese companies based in China and to be completed before 15th of
September 2019, including one-on-one meetings,†the document said.

With the help of microinjections into the scalp skin
Given the pollution and stress which comes with the daily grind, our hair
happens to take a beating, more often than not. Our lifestyle and very
importantly our genes hold the key to the good health of our hair. In patients
with hair fall, it has been proven that these growth factors decrease in the
scalp. The world of healthcare and medicine has witnessed some immensely
phenomenal inventions. Many people, especially the ones who are genetically
predisposed, find the damage to have already been severe, by the time they even
decide to visit a doctor or a trichologist.
This procedure has clear advantages
over traditional hair transplantation. three phase
motor A file picture of Tyra Banks used for representational purposes
only.Given how hair fall is an issue of concern among young adults, a
revolutionary approach for treating hair loss has emerged.The bad news is that
if it is in your genes there is no way you can escape hair loss.The writer is a
facial plastic surgeon. However, there is some good news as well.So, what makes
the QR678 the most revolutionary approach for treating hair loss? QR678 is
essentially a potent mixture of hair growth factors or proteins which are
already present in the human scalp and which are responsible for hair
growth.Disclaimer: Always check with an expert before going ahead with the
treatment).
With the help of microinjections into the scalp skin, this QR 678
Formultaion is injected in to the scalp of the patient.One injection of QR678
costs only about Rs 6,000 and a patient may require 4-8 of these injections,
each at monthly intervals, for the purpose of hair restoration, depending on the
extent of hair loss that they face. One of the biggest inventions of modern
cosmetic medicine has been the invention of a hair growth formulation, which is
known as the QR678. The hair that grows back by the treatment with QR678 looks
natural, as the dormant or dead hair follicles are stimulated to grow hair
again. When it comes to the things which are ridiculously harmful to our hair
health, stress and pollution are just the tip of the iceberg. One of the biggest
issues with hair, that practically seems to be a problem with seven out of ten
people nowadays, is rapid hair fall or hair loss. QR678 is a remarkable
invention, as it uses the growth factors that are already present in humans and
helps the hair grow back. Hair loss is something that can be very difficult to
cope up with, because of the rate at which it takes place. After years of
research and clinical trials on over 10000 patients, the QR678 was recently
awarded a patent from the United Stated Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO),
which is a remarkable feat for any pharmaceutical invention
