Furthermore, we aimed to examine the role of cognitive reserve in the relationship between mental health and chronic pain clinical characteristics in middle-aged adults. The current study explored the impact of chronic pain on psychosocial factors, mental health, and cognition. Cognitive reserve reflects the effectiveness of the internal connections of the brain and it has been shown to be a protective factor in brain damage, slowing cognitive aging or reducing the risk of mental health disorders. This study found that a rest break with indoor plants was as effective as a rest break with guided meditation for affective restoration after fatigue from a vigilance task.Ĭhronic pain is associated with worse mental health and cognitive impairment, which can be a cause or a consequence of brain structure and function alterations, e.g., maladaptive plasticity, antinociceptive system dysregulation. Practitioner summary: Indoor plants are a cost-effective green ergonomics intervention in offices. Indoor plants and guided meditation had a small, but significant positive impact on affective restoration and no significant impact on cognitive restoration. After exposure to the break interventions, distress significantly decreased for participants in the indoor plant break condition while distress significantly decreased and engagement significantly increased in the guided meditation break condition. The vigilance task induced fatigue as shown by a significant vigilance decrement and also significantly lowered positive affect and cognitive engagement, and significantly increased distress across all three conditions. Measures of affect, stress, and working memory were taken before and after the vigilance task, and again after a rest intervention. The psychological processes most in need of recovery were identified as cognitive and affective restoration. Sixty students were randomly assigned to an indoor plant, guided meditation, or control rest-break condition. This study investigated whether indoor plants were as effective as guided meditation for enabling psychological recovery after fatigue induced by the abbreviated vigilance task. The review concludes with general recommendations and best practices for researchers interested in conducting studies of individual differences in attention control. Topics covered include psychological testing, cognitive training, education, sports, police decision-making, human factors, and disorders within clinical psychology. We then selectively review existing literature on the role of both working memory and attention in various applied settings and explain, in each case, why a switch in emphasis to attention control is warranted. The review begins with a discussion of relevant literature on the nature and measurement of both working memory capacity and attention control, including recent developments in the study of individual differences of attention control. In this review, we argue that researchers would therefore generally be better suited to studying the role of attention control rather than memory-based abilities in explaining real-world behavior and performance in humans. Although working memory and attention are intertwined, several studies have recently shown that individual differences in the general ability to control attention is more strongly predictive of human behavior than working memory capacity. Working memory capacity is an important psychological construct, and many real-world phenomena are strongly associated with individual differences in working memory functioning. Evidence-based therapies can be augmented to target LS and cognition. LS and verbal WM and processing speed predicted one another across long durations. However, change in spatial cognition did not predict change in LS (| d | = 0.085). Additionally, depletion in processing speed and verbal WM predicted a future decrease in LS ( d = 0.142–0.269). Reduction in LS predicted future decreases in spatial cognition, processing speed, and verbal WM (| d | = 0.150–0.354). Five waves of assessment occurred across 23 years. Thus, we used bivariate dual latent change score modeling to test within-person change-to-future change relations between LS and cognition.Ĭommunity adults completed in-person tests of verbal working memory (WM), processing speed, spatial cognition, and an LS self-report. However, most studies have been cross-sectional, thereby precluding causal inferences. Within-person growth in life satisfaction (LS) can protect against declines in cognitive functioning, and, conversely, over time.

In that same vein… Why wouldn’t you just buy the Dremel batteries? Every time I read a Dremel article about the Cordless batteries, everyone is up in arms over them not being Bosch batteries… I wish someone would explain this phenomena to me. “If I Had A Million Dollars (If I had a Million Dollars) I like to quote a pleasant little band from Canada here, The Barenaked Ladies, with their song “If I Had a Million Dollars”… Except I change the lyric a little for modern accuracy. It need not apply here, it’s beneath them to even line their cheapest, lowest end, model up against any of the mentioned models here. So, yeah… Foredom is here in spirit, just, Foredom speaks for itself. And the companies like Dremel, or Proxxon, appear to be just fine with letting Foredom have that spot, feeling no overt pressure to beat them, or match them. In fact, the 9000’s major tagline for sales was “100% compatible with Foredom hand pieces.” Foredom has a safe perch on top of the rotary tool market, able to do things that the rest just can’t do, due to power output. There most certainly is a Dremel that went up against the Foredom market, the model 9000 Rotary Flex Shaft system, but even that I would prefer a Foredom over the 9000. In this conversation about the value, or competition, of these newly-released Dremel rotary tools, they are obviously in direct competition with the Ryobi releases, and not the raw power that comes out of the Foredom systems. Not so much Ryobi, but that’s truly only because I already have Dremel and DeWALT tools… there’s nothing they can’t do for me, that Ryobi could do better for me. I do, very much, think of Foredom tools along side Dremel and Proxxon, as brands I’m loyal to. I bet you probably didn’t need to know that part, but it does illustrate that Foredom is not lost in the shuffle here. It smells a bit like someone is cooking bacon, but I do end up with smooth heels, and less pain walking. My Dremel 4000, and 8200, are both compatible with things like the 90 degree attachment, or the flex shaft, and especially the EZ Lock mandrels. Not only could I rig up carving and detailing setups with ease, I could do what everyone says not to do, and actually get the dead skin off my feet, without considering the price of a nail salon. Ceramic Finishing Wheels, and Cotton Polishing Wheels, each in their own self-standing sets.Īs to Foredom… I genuinely want one… Or potentially 5, depending on the chance of affording them. Lee Valley sold (potentially still sells?) two sets of Foredom rotary accessories that my Mother nearly wept over when I bought them for Mother’s Day somewhere around 15 years ago. But I do have an undeniable love of their products. So, much like Proxxon, Foredom doesn’t get checked as often as I used to. This doesn’t seem relevant, but it means I haven’t had the chance to check every single company I like’s offerings, due to a loss of time, and sleep. I have yet to see Proxxon with a comparable Cordless Micromot Rotary Tool, but I’ve been busy lately, and very tired, the Pandemic has ruined my perception of time, so I don’t know how long things have been out, or how long ago they were, or even what time it usually is. So, the direct comparisons for them are at the forefront of the brain for this. They aren’t battery operated, nor are they in the same category of rotary tools as these hand-held releases. Of course the Foredom may well be outside someone’s budget but I don’t think it’s so out of line they are to be excluded.įoredom is not lost in my mind, if that helps, Jim. In my opinion being cordless isn’t much of an advantage for a high-speed rotary tool so unless you, the buyer, have very specific requirements a flex-shaft tool is probably worth considering, especially with Ryobi offering a couple different models. But 95% of the time I use a tool like that it’s for working on something fairly small that’s easy to bring to wherever the tool is. The Minicrafts could run straight off a car battery and had more power than Dremel, but they had the silly design decision of a very short cord so you still had to fool around with extensions unless you were working within two feet of the battery. In that case a cordless tool would have been great–I remember the hassle of dragging out an extension cord to run old school Dremels. Sometimes I’d use one for an automotive application. Before I discovered die grinders I used Dremels and Minicraft DC powered rotary tools. But I think the distinction isn’t all that important when most of the work these tools do can easily be be “brought to the tool”. I agree with you that a flex-shaft is a fundamentally different tool from a cordless rotary tool like these Dremels. Syncing with the Explore universe is something of a mess because of the various generations of device that are out there. Thinking about it, Express would be the ONLY wired approach for the 66i (since it's not supported by the old desktop sync app). I don't actually know for sure that it does not sync Explore data. I know that Connect does not sync data from the Explore universe (except that it DOES sync "activities" - the detail track). it definitely does not sync with the Explore universe. I do not know if the Express "sync" moves things to the Connect universe. Express is used to associate the device with a Garmin Connect account, to deliver firmware and map updates to the 66i, and to fully set up WiFi. Back to Plans & Devices for that.Įdited to add: Just noticed that the thread title mentions Express, but the body does not. You cannot designate it as the active collection here. On the next screen, you can choose to make the collection visible in MapShare and whether of not to sync it TO the device. You will be able to name the collection, optionally choose what existing items to add to it. Click the plus icon on the Collections heading. Look for the Collections heading in the left sidebar. If you don't have any collections set up yet, you will have to go to the Map "tab". Go figure.) In the resulting pop-up, on the right side, choose the active collection. (Misleadingly, you cannot sync from here since the 66i does not support wired sync. Click the link Sync & Update Collections. On Plans & Devices, under your 66i, you will see a Sync category on the right side. Right this minute, this functionality is south of the Plans & Devices "tab" (which no longer looks like a tab). Note that I use other third-party software, not BaseCamp.Ĭheck to be sure that you have an active collection set up for the device. gpx files in the \garmin\gpx folder do appear in the active collection and are transferred with the next sync. However, in my limited experience, items placed directly on the device (for example, tracks or waypoints placed in. This is intended to handle waypoints that are marked on the device and tracks (activities) recorded on the device. Things which are placed in the active collection on the device should sync to the web site. The issue with points stored directly on the device not making it to the Explore site is probably due to issues with the active collection. You need to pick one channel and stick to it. Although I don't know for sure, I would expect you to get duplicate items on the device.

My design decisions are somewhat arbitrary, and tuned to my very personal needs. If you are like me, this tutorial might be a more useful initial starting point than HA documentation. That's by design: it's intended for audiences who prefer understanding a design as they bring it up, as opposed to mastering all concepts before writing any configuration code. This tutorial has many limitations and teaches by example rather than covering concepts in depth. My ideal reader is someone who just unboxed their Konnected boards and wants to integrate them into an existing Home Assistant setup, but has no prior experience with HA's alarm panels. New users of Konnected.io with no prior Home Assistant experience seem especially puzzled by manual's documentation.

And we'll more details on our 1WTBTMITBST later this week. WWE SuperCard is a 2014 digital collectible card game featuring WWE Superstars for iOS and Android, and a mobile installment in the WWE video game series. These new cards will be announced via the official WWE SuperCard Twitter account in the coming weeks. The new cards will start appearing in the popular WWE mobile game today and will continue to roll out in the coming weeks. 2K and Cat Daddy Games unveiled details about new Throwback, Fusion and Hall of Fame cards being added to WWE SuperCard’s WrestleMania 34 Tier. Shortly thereafter, players will start to gain access to additional Fusion and Hall of Fame cards as well. WWE SuperCard is about to get the grandest card boost of them all.

This list is divided by season, and then further based on card type (wrestler cards, supports, etc.) and special cards are noted. The update began with the official release of the WrestleMania 35 Throwback cards, available now. These new Throwback cards feature an assortment of WWE Legends with attributes boosting them into the recently released WrestleMania 35 tier. This page includes a list of all cards available in WWE Supercard. The first batch of cards started appearing in WWE SuperCard earlier this week, with more to be released soon at no additional cost. This week, 2K and Cat Daddy Games introduced all-new WrestleMania 35 Throwback, Hall of Fame and Fusion cards coming to WWE SuperCard. Another difference was that the 2 AF groups showed significant conduction delay on optical mapping and fibrosis and collagen-gene up-regulation compared with the AFL group. The left atrial volume increased in the 2 AF groups but not the AFL group. The induced AF with an intercaval line had shorter CLs (cycle lengths) and substantial irregularity as compared with the AFL group. But, the duration of induced AF was greater in the 2 AF cohorts but not the AFL group. Each AF and AFL group also demonstrated an increase in AF vulnerability to AF induced with extra stimuli. The results of this study revealed that the effective refractory period was reduced similarly in each of the 3 AF and AFL groups as compared with the sinus rhythm control group. At the termination of the 3-week study period, each dog underwent extensive evaluation to determine the relative degrees of structural and electrical remodeling, including an echocardiogram and a terminal open-chest electrophysiology study. And, a final group of 6 dogs had the intercaval line created but remained in sinus rhythm for the duration of the study. A third cohort of 6 dogs had the intercaval line created for AFL but were in sustained AF. A second cohort of 6 dogs were in sustained AF and did not have an intercaval line created. A total of 24 dogs were divided into 4 cohorts and were intensively studied 3 weeks later. All dogs had an atrioventricular node ablation and ventricular pacemaker implanted and were paced at 80 beats/min. An intercaval radiofrequency lesion created a substrate for sustained isthmus dependent AFL in 3 of the 4 cohorts. ( 4) in this issue of the Journal, which uses an animal model of atrial flutter to compare atrial remodeling caused by AF with that caused by AFL. It is with this background that we consider the results of the study by Guichard et al. In contrast to the well-defined clinical features of AF compared with AFL, remarkably little is known about the relative impact of AF and AFL on atrial remodeling. And, AFL results in a regular rhythm, whereas AF is irregular. The stroke risk in patients with AFL is less than those with AF. AFL is harder to rate control and easier to ablate. But, we cannot forget the important differences between AF and AFL. This explains why one-third of patients effectively treated with ablation of the cavatricuspid isthmus developed clinically manifest AF at 15-month follow-up ( 3). These 2 rapid atrial arrhythmias are intertwined by the observation that without antecedent AF, AFL will rarely develop ( 1, 2). And, both respond to antiarrhythmic therapy or catheter ablation. They both can be treated with rate or rhythm control. They both can cause a rate-related cardiomyopathy. They both cause a range of symptoms including palpitations, fatigue, and exercise intolerance. They both are rapid upper chamber arrhythmias. From a clinical perspective, atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) share many similarities.
