5 Frontal plane femoral adduction during single-leg landing and low back pain in young athletes: a prospective profits cohort study
2019
Introduction Prospective studies investigating risk factors for low back pain (LBP) in young athletes are limited. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the association between LBP and selected biomechanical factors and postural stability during dynamic movement tasks in young athletes. Materials and methods 396 young floorball and basketball players (mean age 15.8±1.9) were included and followed prospectively for 1–3 years (2011–2014). In the beginning of every study year the players were tested. The physical tests included single-leg squat (SLS), single-leg vertical drop jump (SLVDJ), vertical drop jump (VDJ) and Star Reach Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). Individual e…

The inhibitors - a challenge for the management of patients with hereditary haemophilia A.
2018
Abstract Introduction. Our research strategy was aimed at evaluating the possible implication of the type of factor VIII product administered as substitution treatment to haemophilia A patients in the occurrence of inhibitors and their consequences on the management. Methods. Scientific articles from July 2015 to July 2017 were searched using the PubMed and PubMed Central databases. The used search terms included “haemophilia A”, “inhibitors”, “plasma-derived factor VIII” and “recombinant factor VIII”. Results. The risk factors for inhibitors occurrence may be patients-related (genetic and nongenetic) and treatment-related. The possibility of a correlation between the increased purity of fa…
Transient focal cerebral ischemia significantly alters not only EAATs but also VGLUTs expression in rats: relevance of changes in reactive astroglia
2010
The involvement of plasma membrane glutamate transporters (EAATs - excitatory aminoacid transporters) in the pathophysiology of ischemia has been widely studied, but little is known about the role of vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs) in the ischemic process. We analyzed the expression of VGLUT1-3 in the cortex and caudate-putamen of rats subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. Western blot and immunohistochemistry revealed an increase of VGLUT1 signal in cortex and caudate-putamen until 3 days of reperfusion followed by a reduction 7 days after the ischemic insult. By contrast, VGLUT2 and 3 were drastically reduced. Confocal microscopy revealed an increase in VGLUT2…
Individual Sprint Force-Velocity Profile Adaptations to In-Season Assisted and Resisted Velocity-Based Training in Professional Rugby
2020
We tested the hypothesis that the degree of adaptation to highly focused sprint training at opposite ends of the sprint Force-Velocity (FV) spectrum would be associated with initial sprint FV profile in rugby athletes. Training-induced changes in sprint FV profiles were computed before and after an eight-week in-season resisted or assisted sprint training protocol, including a three-week taper. Professional male rugby players (age: 18.9 ±
Not quite so fast: effect of training at 90% sprint speed on maximal and repeated-sprint ability in soccer players
2014
AbstractThe aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of training at an intensity eliciting 90% of maximal sprinting speed on maximal and repeated-sprint performance in soccer. It was hypothesised that sprint training at 90% of maximal velocity would improve soccer-related sprinting. Twenty-two junior club-level male and female soccer players (age 17 ± 1 year, body mass 64 ± 8 kg, body height 174 ± 8 cm) completed an intervention study where the training group (TG) replaced one of their weekly soccer training sessions with a repeated-sprint training session performed at 90% of maximal sprint speed, while the control group (CG) completed regular soccer training according to thei…
The effectiveness of the Feldenkrais method: a systematic review of the evidence
2014
The Feldenkrais Method (FM) has broad application in populations interested in improving awareness, health, and ease of function.This review aimed to update the evidence for the benefits of FM, and for which populations. A best practice systematic review protocol was devised. Included studies were appraised using the Cochrane risk of bias approach and trial findings analysed individually and collectively where possible. Twenty RCTs were included (an additional 14 to an earlier systematic review). The population, outcome, and findings were highly heterogeneous. However, meta-analyses were able to be performed with 7 studies,finding in favour of the FM for improving balance in ageing populati…
Der Anstieg einiger Serumenzyme (GOT, LDH, CPK, MK) nach Ganzk�rpermuskelmassage und seine Bedeutung bei Dermatomyositis
1972
25 gesunde Normalpersonen wiesen 8 Std nach einer Ganzkorpermuskelmassage einen signifikanten Aktivitatsanstieg der Serumenzyme GOT, LDH, CPK und MK auf, wobei die MK im pathologischen Bereich liegt (Durchschnittswerte vor Massage: GOT: 10,97 mE/ml, LDH: 154,78 mE/ml, CPK: 18,28 mE/ml, MK: 15,79 mE/1000 ml; Durchschnittswerte 8 Std nach Massage: GOT: 16,84 mE/ml, LDH: 179,82 mE/ml, CPK: 27,36 mE/ml, MK: 21,74 mE/1000 ml). Die diskutierten, moglichen Ursachen gebieten Zuruckhaltung mit Massagen und analogen medico-mechanischen Masnahmen bei Dermatomyositis.
The Effectiveness of Physical Exercise on Bone Density in Osteoporotic Patients
2018
Physical exercise is considered an effective means to stimulate bone osteogenesis in osteoporotic patients. The authors reviewed the current literature to define the most appropriate features of exercise for increasing bone density in osteoporotic patients. Two types emerged: (1) weight-bearing aerobic exercises, i.e., walking, stair climbing, jogging, and Tai Chi. Walking alone did not appear to improve bone mass; however it is able to limit its progressive loss. In fact, in order for the weight-bearing exercises to be effective, they must reach the mechanical intensity useful to determine an important ground reaction force. (2) Strength and resistance exercises: these are carried out with…
