Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment as a Useful Adjunctive Tool for Pneumonia

2014
Pneumonia is one of the top ten leading causes of death in the U.S. Osteopathic manipulative techniques (OMT) may be utilized as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of pneumonia to enhance biomechanical and immune function; and ultimately, to reduce hospital stay, duration of antibiotics, incidence of respiratory failure, and mortality. In this video-article, we will review randomized controlled studies on the use of OMT in pneumonia patients, as well as demonstrate specific hands-on...

Multiple Object Tracking

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University In a staggeringly complex and engaging world, it is crucial to selectively process some stimuli at the expense of others. Experimental psychologists call this ability attention. Specifically, visual attention refers to the ability to selectively process aspects of a visual scene. Many paradigms used to study visual attention involve brief, punctuated, and repeated trials. However, everyday situations often place sustained demands...

This article describes surface labeling and ex ovo tissue culture in the early chick embryo. Techniques amenable to time-lapse bright field, fluorescence, and optical coherence tomography imaging are presented. Tracking surface labels with high spatiotemporal resolution enables kinematic quantities such as morphogenetic strains (deformations) to be calculated in both two and three dimensions.
FAQs
Establishing a baseline gives investigators a reference point for performance before demands change. They can then compare accuracy, response time, attention, or decision-making across load conditions rather than interpreting a single score in isolation. This comparison helps attribute observed differences to the planned demand manipulation, strengthening conclusions about how limited cognitive resources affect behavior.
Working-memory requirements, task complexity, time pressure, and competing information alter task demands in different ways. Comparing these conditions under controlled designs allows investigators to examine whether performance changes accompany a particular demand manipulation, rather than treating cognitive load as a single, undifferentiated influence. That distinction improves interpretation of effects on attention, memory, or decision-making.
Accuracy and response time can reveal different aspects of performance under changing demands. Recording several outcomes makes it possible to compare whether a load condition is associated with changes in accuracy, slower responses, altered attention, or different decisions. These measures provide complementary evidence for analyzing effects on perception, learning, memory, and self-regulation.
A basic study workflow starts with baseline measurement, followed by planned changes in working-memory requirements, task complexity, time pressure, or competing information. Investigators monitor selected outcomes under each condition, then compare the results with baseline and with other load levels. Keeping the manipulation and measurements explicit makes it easier to connect a change in demand with a behavioral effect.
It can inform educational research by showing how demand changes relate to learning and self-regulation. In human factors and performance research, comparisons of load conditions can clarify effects on attention, decision-making, and behavior. The same logic can contribute to clinical assessment, where measured responses help characterize performance under differing cognitive demands.
By linking a defined change in task demand to measured behavioral outcomes, the approach helps researchers evaluate how limited cognitive resources shape perception, learning, memory, and self-regulation. Controlled comparisons also support rigorous experimental design by reducing reliance on unspecified task differences. This makes the method useful for examining psychological mechanisms and interpreting behavior across research settings.
