Cravings are a physiological and psychological phenomenon that often occurs after the cessation of drug and alcohol use. They are also a programmed response to environmental signals that have been connected to drug use through experience. They can occur for months or years after the…

The purpose of this study was to compare the selected three (3) physiological characteristics in three (3) different sports. The selected physiological parameters are VO2max, average anaerobic power, and fatigue index. These parameters were studied in athletics, badminton, and kabaddi. VO2max was predicted indirectly by…

Presentation Fruitful continuance execution requires the joining of different physiological and mental frameworks, cooperating to direct exercise power in a way that will lessen time taken or increment work done. The frameworks that eventually confine execution of the errand are fervently, and may rely upon…

Humans have many different hormones, all working away doing vital jobs in our bodies.

Many things affect the delicate balance of our…

Smith and Passer (2004) define emotion as feeling or affect state that involve pattern of cognitive, physiological and behavioral reaction to events. These two scholars continue to tell us that motivation and emotions are linked, in that we only react emotionally when our motives and…

Under physiological stress the human body goes through a series of homeostatic processes depending on the origin of stress. The human body does this to ensure that it is healthy and functional or in others word, it insures its survival. The term ‘survival of the…

We report the anesthetic management for successful separation of thoraco-omphalopagus conjoint twins, along with challenges and limitations we faced in perioperative period….

Physiological pathways interact with psychological-cognitive ones to produce subjective pain experience. Neuroimaging studies support the modulation of CPM by certain regions of the limbic system (e.g., anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)) involved in the motivational-affective component of pain. The ACC and the insula are the main…
