An auscultatory gap, also known as the silent gap, [1] is a period of diminished or absent Korotkoff sounds during the manual measurement of blood pressure. It is associated with peripheral blood flow caused by changes in the pulse wave. [ 2 ]
Blood pressure measurement using the auscultatory method based on the (first) Korotkoff-sound. Korotkoff sounds are the sounds that medical personnel listen for when they are taking blood pressure using a non-invasive procedure.
Saccadic masking, also known as (visual) saccadic suppression, is the phenomenon in visual perception where the brain selectively blocks visual processing during eye movements in such a way that neither the motion of the eye (and subsequent motion blur of the image) nor the gap in visual perception is noticeable to the viewer.
Auscultation (based on the Latin verb auscultare "to listen") is listening to the internal sounds of the body, usually using a stethoscope.Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory and respiratory systems (heart and breath sounds), as well as the alimentary canal.
In children, an overall gap detection threshold greater than 20 ms means they have failed and may have an auditory processing disorder based on abnormal perception of sound in the time domain. [70] [71] Gaps in Noise Test (GIN) also measures temporal resolution by testing the patient's gap detection threshold in white noise. [72]
6. Bait and Switch. You may think you got a great deal on a brand-new iPhone or other device, only to find out you've gotten a late model phone or worse, a heavy box — and the money has already ...
The blood–brain barrier is formed by the brain capillary endothelium and excludes from the brain 100% of large-molecule neurotherapeutics and more than 98% of all small-molecule drugs. [28] Overcoming the difficulty of delivering therapeutic agents to specific regions of the brain presents a major challenge to treatment of most brain disorders.
How To Avoid It: Cummings recommends giving yourself 48 hours of rest between strength training workouts that engage the same muscle group. In addition, get solid sleep—seven to nine hours each ...
