Association between spinal disorders and different domains of physical activity among young adult men
2022
BackgroundThere is limited evidence of how physical activity (PA) associates with low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP). Particularly, the association between occupational or commuting PA and LBP/NP is unclear. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between spinal disorders and different physical activity domains in young and healthy adult men.MethodsSelf-reported leisure time, occupational and commuting PA, as well as LBP and NP, were studied using questionnaires among young Finnish males (n = 1,630). Logistic regression analysis was used to study the associations of PA domains, physical fitness, and spinal disorders. Regression models were adjuste…
Tracking oneself for others: communal and self-motivational value of sharing exercise data online
2021
Self-tracking is increasingly popular in recreational sport. Leisure sports practitioners use wearable devices that are connected to online platforms to record, analyse, and share their exercise data. While doing that they interact with a digital system, with themselves, and with peers. This paper examines social-communicative aspects of self-tracking, and the support that these aspects and their associated practices may provide for physical activity behaviour. Data for the study was collected using an online survey and in-depth interviews with Finnish trail runners. The results indicate that sharing exercise data with others on a regular basis can support physical activity behaviour becaus…
Safety of hospital discharge before return of bowel function after elective colorectal surgery
2020
Ileus is common after colorectal surgery and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. Identifying features of normal bowel recovery and the appropriateness for hospital discharge is challenging. This study explored the safety of hospital discharge before the return of bowel function.A prospective, multicentre cohort study was undertaken across an international collaborative network. Adult patients undergoing elective colorectal resection between January and April 2018 were included. The main outcome of interest was readmission to hospital within 30 days of surgery. The impact of discharge timing according to the return of bowel function was explored using multiva…
Appropriateness of surgery performed for abdominal aortic aneurysm at tertiary hospitals in Spain
2021
Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the appropriateness of the type of repair (open or endovascular) performed for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in five university hospitals in Spain, according to evidence-based recommendations. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective cross-sectional study of patients with AAA who underwent elective open surgical repair (OSR) or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Data were collected on demographic and clinical variables and type of surgical repair. A pair of vascular surgeons from each participating hospital performed a blinded assessment based on GRADE recommendations. The concordance between the two evaluators and the agreement between thei…
Fonti per la storia del Manicomio di Palermo alla Vignicella (1884-1902)
2020
Il testo ripercorre le tappe che hanno condotto alla realizzazione di una delle più vaste opere pubbliche di stampo sanitario realizzate a Palermo nel XIX secolo: l'Ospedale Psichiatrico alla Vignicella. Tramite l’individuazione e l’analisi delle principali fonti ottocentesche e dei primissimi del Novecento, pur confrontandosi con la più recente letteratura periegetica, si fissano alcuni punti fermi rispetto alla progettazione ed esecuzione dei lavori, oltre che, non di meno, in relazione alla concezione scientifica sulle quali erano state fondate. Le immagini d’epoca accompagnano il testo in senso illustrativo e documentario. The text traces the steps that led to the construction of one of…
Siostry elżbietanki w Festung Breslau
2013
Stolica biskupstwa wrocławskiego odegrała istotną rolę w funkcjonowaniu Zgromadzenia Szarych Sióstr św. Elżbiety. Przed 1945 r. mieściły się tam władze zarządu generalnego, nowicjat, a pomoc chorym, ubogim, dzieciom i starcom niosło dziewięć placówek wspólnoty. Wraz ze zbliżaniem się Armii Czerwonej do Wrocławia, podobnie jak w innych klasztorach, wrocławskie elżbietanki stały przed dylematem, czy ewakuować się z zagrożonych terenów, czy pozostać z tymi, którzy z różnych względów nie mogli uciekać. Zgodnie z charyzmatem nadanym zgromadzeniu przez Marię Merkert wiele elżbietanek pozostało w celu niesienia pomocy starcom, chorym, matkom małych dzieci. Angażowały się do pracy w lazaretach zami…
Kokemuksia mielisairaalasta : muistoihin kaivertuneet tilat
2022
Suomessa psykiatrinen hoito on ollut pitkään hyvin laitoskeskeistä, ja mielisairaalat ovat kuuluneet monin tavoin suomalaisten elämään. Kokemuksia mielisairaalasta valottaa historian, kulttuurisen mielenterveystutkimuksen ja taiteellisen tutkimuksen keinoin sitä, miten mielisairaalat muistetaan. Millaisia tunteita ja ruumiillisia muistoja liittyy sairaalassa vietettyyn aikaan? Millaisena 1930-luvun potilas koki mielisairaalan, ja miten potilaat kertovat sairaalassa kohtaamastaan pakosta ja väkivallasta? Millainen sairaalakokemus on jättänyt hyvät ja lämpimät muistot? Monitieteinen teos perustuu ainutlaatuiseen muistitietoaineistoon, joka avaa uusia näkökulmia mielisairaaloiden arkeen, histo…

Smoking ban in public places and myocardial infarction hospitalizations in a European country with high cardiovascular risk: insights from the Polish…
2019
INTRODUCTION Previous studies demonstrated a possible positive effect of a smoking ban in public places on cardiovascular outcomes. However, little is known about the influence of such regulations in Poland, a country with a high cardiovascular risk. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the association of hospitalization rates for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Poland before and after the introduction of the smoking ban in public places in November 2010. PATIENTS AND METHODS The Nationwide Acute Myocardial Infarction Database (AMI‑PL) was searched for the cases of AMI that occurred between 2009 and 2014. The analysis considered sex, age (20–64 years vs 65 years or older), and the place of …
