The water can move at speeds of up to 20 knots or about 10 meters per second. At this test wave, another sample, S6, was randomly selected and invited.Īt Testwave 6 (T6) participants from S1, S3, and S6 returned for testing.The maelstrom phenomenon in Saltstraumen is governed by the rise and fall of the currents. Every 6 hours almost 400 million cubic meters of water have to pass through a 3 km long and 150-meter wide strait between Saltenfjord and Skjerstadfjord. Physical measures (blood pressure, pulse rate, sensory function) were taken.īiosamples collection (blood, urine sample) were taken as well.Īt Testwave 2 (T2), participants from Sample 1 (S1) returned for testing and those samples 2 (S2) and 3 (S3), were randomly selected and invited.īiosamples collection (blood sample) were taken as well.Īt Testwave 3 (T3) participants from Samples S1, S2 and S3 returned for testing while another sample, S4, was randomly selected and invited to participate.īiosamples collection (blood and urine sample) were taken as well.Īt Testwave 4 (T4) participants from samples S1 and S3 returned for testing while another sample, S5, was randomly selected and invited to participate.īiosamples collection (blood, saliva and urine sample) were taken as well.Īt T5 participants from S1 and S3 returned for testing.
The cognitive functions testing included examination of episodic and prospective memory (face and name recognition, action memory, sentence memory, word recall with or without a distractor task, source recall and memory for activities), semantic memory (general knowledge questions, vocabulary test, four-word fluency test) and unconscious forms of memory (one word-stem completion task, four-word fluency test). The questionnaires collected information about health status, subjective health, physical and mental symptoms (heart pain, back pain, stomach pain, difficulties in sleeping, feelings of loneliness, anxiety), health care consumption, use of prescribed medication, explorations of daily living, leisure activities, critical life events, and other social and economic factors. The first visit consisted primarily of an extensive health examination and the second visit consisted mainly of testing cognitive functions. Īt each data collection time point, participants came to the Betula lab twice. A description of the syndrome and preliminary findings with light therapy.
