The random locomotion of granulocytes was studied in dark-field microscopy, and a standardized procedure for the classification of granulocytes into rapid-moving, (RM), slow-moving (SM) and non-moving (NM) cells was developed. When granulocytes from blood donors were tested, 54% were RM, 21% SM and 25% NM with variation between repeated tests, acceptable for a semiquantitative method. When the test was applied in 124 patients with infectious and inflammatory diseases and hematological malignancies, a significantly higher number of NM blood cells was found in patients with septicemia and pneumonia. The method was found especially suitable for samples containing few granulocytes, such as samples from soft-tissue infections, pulmonary infiltrates and neutropenic blood.

Institute of Primary Care, University Hospital Zurich, Zürich, Switzerland.
We have (i) little knowledge about where the fastest professional IRONMAN triathletes originate from and where the fastest races take place and (ii) we have no knowledge of the optimal weather conditions for an IRONMAN triathlon. The aims of the present study were, therefore, (i) to investigate the origin and the fastest IRONMAN race courses for professional triathletes and (ii) to evaluate the best environmental conditions (i.e.

This study examines the acute effects of post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) with different loads (84% and 60% 1-RM) and exercises (hip thrust; HT and glute bridge; GB) on sprint performance (SP) and horizontal force-velocity (HF-V) profile components in adolescent male soccer players. The participants were randomly assigned to three groups: hip thrust group (HTG; n = 13), glute bridge group (GBG; n = 13), and control group (CG; n = 14). Sprint tests at distances of 10, 20, and 30 m were conducted pre-PAPE and post-PAPE protocols with a 7 min rest period.

Background: Biofield therapies can be administered in person (hands-on treatment) or remotely, and this study focuses on the latter. A literature review did not find any reports on the effectiveness of remote biofield energy /blessing therapy in enhancing cognition and motor function performance in adults.
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of distant/remote blessing (biofield energy) therapy on the cognitive and motor functions in adults with self-reported neuropsychological impairments using NIH Toolbox.
Daily walking habits can mitigate age-related decline in static balance: a longitudinal study among aircraft assemblers.

Improving physical balance among older workers is essential for preventing falls in workplace. We aimed to elucidate the age-related decline in one-leg standing time with eyes closed, an indicator of static balance, and mitigating influence of daily walking habits on this decline in Japan. This longitudinal study involved 249 manufacturing workers, including seven females, aged 20-66 years engaged in tasks performed at height in the aircraft and spacecraft machinery industry.
