Posttraumatic Propofol Neurotoxicity Is Mediated via the Pro–Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor-p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Pathway in Adult Mice*
2016
Objectives:The gamma-aminobutyric acid modulator propofol induces neuronal cell death in healthy immature brains by unbalancing neurotrophin homeostasis via p75 neurotrophin receptor signaling. In adulthood, p75 neurotrophin receptor becomes down-regulated and propofol loses its neurotoxic effect. H
Spinal anaesthesia in a patient with post-spine surgery dural ectasia.
2013
Dural sac ectasia is a very infrequent anatomical abnormality, usually caused by connective tissue diseases, as Marfan syndrome. Very few cases have been described being a consequence of a previous spine surgical procedure. We describe the case of an elderly patient who should be operated on twice due to sub-occlusive colon disease. Surgery was performed under spinal anaesthesia. A dural sac ectasia was suspected after the first procedure and the abdominal X-ray was reviewed. The characteristics of the anatomical alteration and the course of both anaesthetic procedures were described. X-ray and CT images were provided.
MRI findings and physical performance as predictors of flight-induced musculoskeletal pain incidence among fighter pilots
2017
Summary Study aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association of pre-career magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and physical performance level with possible musculoskeletal disorders during jet flight training. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 73 fighter pilots who had undergone pre-career cervical and lumbar spine MRI. Physical performance of a subgroup of the pilots (n = 67) was measured initially at the same time and followed up to the fast jet training phase (ranging from 3.8 to 7.0 years). Musculoskeletal pain history during pilot training was taken from the medical charts. MRI findings and physical performance were associated with perceived…
Effect of combination therapy with hypothermia, magnesium and tirilazad in an experimental model of diffuse cerebral ischemia
2007
Objetivo. Valorar el grado de neuroprotección combinando hipotermia con magnesio y tirilazad en la isquemia cerebral global. La isquemia cerebral es uno de los problemas de mayor interés en la actualidad con unas medidas terapéuticas limitadas. La utilización de la hipotermia, una de las más eficaces, junto con los fármacos neuroprotectores puede ser una alternativa válida. Diseño. Estudio experimental con grupo control y dos niveles de aplicación de medidas terapéuticas. Ámbito. Laboratorio experimental de la Facultad de Medicina. Participantes y método. Veintiocho ratas Wistar sufrieron isquemia cerebral global de 10 minutos de duración mediante la combinación del clampaje carotídeo bilat…
Nefarmakoloģiskās atsāpināšanas metodes jaundzimušo intensīvās terapijas nodaļā
2018
Bakalaura darba tēma – Nefarmakoloģiskās atsāpināšanas metodes jaundzimušo intensīvās terapijas nodaļā. Šī tēma ir aktuāla, jo ik gadu pasaulē nāk ap 15 miljoniem bērnu , no kuriem vismaz viens no 10 jaundzimušajiem piedzimst pirms laika. Savukārt Latvijā katru gadu pirms laika jeb agrāk par pilnām 37 grūtniecības nedēļām dzimst vairāk nekā 1000 bērni, tie ir aptuveni 6% no kopējā dzimušo skaita. Darba izstrādāšanas mērķis - Noskaidrot un analizēt nefarmakoloģisko atsāpināšanas metožu izmantošanu procedūru sāpju novēršanai jaundzimušajiem intensīvās terapijas nodaļā. Pētniecības uzdevumi ir apkopot un analizēt literatūru par procedūru sāpēm jaundzimušajiem un nefarmakoloģiskām atsāpināšanas…
Częstość wykonywania zabiegu transfuzji uzupełniającej u noworodków donoszonych i przedwcześnie urodzonych w latach 2012–2016 na podstawie analizy do…
2018
Wprowadzenie. Transfuzja krwi jest częstym zabiegiem u noworodków. Osoba podejmująca decyzję o jego przeprowadzeniu musi być świadoma, że ratuje on życie i jest obciążony wieloma powikłaniami. Cel pracy. Określenie częstości wykonywania transfuzji uzupełniających u noworodków leczonych na Od-dziale Anestezjologii i Intensywnej Terapii Dzieci i Noworodków (OAITDiN) w Uniwersyteckim Szpitalu Klinicznym w Opolu latach 2012–2016. Ustalenie, czy istnieje istotna zależność między wiekiem noworodka a liczbą transfuzji. Zidentyfikowanie najczęstszych wskazań do przeprowadzenia transfuzji. Materiał i metody. Przeprowadzono analizę retrospektywną dokumentacji medycznej techniką nowoczesną polegającą …
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…
Effectiveness of Gamification in Knee Replacement Rehabilitation : Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial With a Qualitative Approach
2022
Background: Exergames can provide encouraging exercise options. Currently, there is limited evidence regarding home-based exergaming in the postoperative phase of total knee replacement (TKR). Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 4-month postoperative home-based exergame intervention with an 8-month follow-up on physical function and symptoms among older persons undergoing TKR compared with home exercise using a standard protocol. In addition, a concurrent embedded design of a mixed methods study was used by including a qualitative component within a quantitative study of exergame effects. Methods: This was a dual-center, nonblinded, two-arm, parallel group randomized…
Intrarater Reliability and Analysis of Learning Effects in the Y Balance Test
2023
While the general reliability of the Y balance test has been previously found to be excellent, earlier reviews highlighted a need for a more consistent methodology between studies. The purpose of this test–retest intrarater reliability study was to assess the intrarater reliability of the YBT using different methodologies regarding normalisation for leg length, number of repetitions, and score calculation. Sixteen healthy adult novice recreational runners aged 18–55 years, both women and men, were reviewed in a laboratory environment. Mean calculated scores, intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change were calculated and analysed between …
Saturación arterial de oxígeno durante la ascensión a una montaña de más de 8.000 metros
2008
Fundamento. La saturación arterial de oxígeno (SaO2) disminuye con la altitud. Objetivo. Conocer qué SaO2 presentan los montañeros sanos durante la ascensión a una montaña de más de 8.000 metros. Método. En una expedición al Gasherbrum II (8.035 m) se midió la SaO2 por pulsioximetría durante la marcha de aproximación, en el campamento base (a la llegada y un mes después), en los campamentos II y III, a 7.500 m durante el ataque y en la cumbre. Resultados. En la marcha de aproximación la SaO2 en Paiyu (3.365 m) fue del 92,9 ± 1,4% y en Gore II (4.250 m) del 85,0 ± 4,3%. En el campamento base (5.200 m) a la llegada fue del 78,4 ± 9,5% y un mes después del 87,4 ± 3,0% (p < 0,007). En el campam…
