YOU YOUR HEART RATE [3 records]

Record 1 2024-11-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • The Heart
CONT

Maximum heart rate is the highest number of beats your heat can pump per minute when it's under high stress(physical or otherwise). You can estimate your maximum heart rate using your age and a simple equation. You simply subtract your age from 220.

CONT

Maximum heart rates can vary from person to person and they are not an indicator of physical fitness.

OBS

HRmax: sometimes written HRmax.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cœur
CONT

La fréquence cardiaque maximale (FCM) désigne le nombre limite de battements que le cœur peut effectuer en 1 minute. Théorique, cette valeur indique aux sportifs jusqu'où pousser l'effort. Elle se calcule par soustraction de l'âge au nombre 220.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Cardiovascular System
CONT

A tilt table test is used to evaluate the cause of unexplained fainting(syncope).... For a tilt table test, you begin by lying flat on a table. Straps are put around your body to hold you in place. After about 15 minutes of lying flat, the table is quickly tilted to raise your body to a head-up position-simulating a change in position from lying down to standing up. The table will then remain upright for up to 45 minutes, while your heart rate and blood pressure are monitored. This allows doctors to evaluate your body's cardiovascular response to the change in position.

[...] Cet examen est réalisé sur une table basculante avec support pour les pieds et contention thoracique pour empêcher le patient de tomber, dans une ambiance calme semi-obscure.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

The closest one could come to having a "little person" or an "inner eye" that perceives the brain's activity would be in the self-symbol-a complex subsystem that is a model of the full system. But the self-symbol does not perceive by having its own repertoire of smaller symbols(including its own self-symbol-an obvious invitation to infinite regress). Rather, the self-symbol' s joint activation with ordinary(nonreflexive) symbols constitutes the system's perception. Perception resides at the level of the full system, not at the level of the self-symbol. If you want to say that the self-symbol perceives something, it is only in the sense that a male moth perceives a female moth, or in the sense that your brain perceives your heart rate-at a level of microscopic intercellular chemical messages.
