Przeciw mitom - o mrocznych stronach macierzyństwa w powieści Slavenki Drakulić - "Optužena"

2017

Starting with Jean Jacob Rousseau’s, Sigmund Freud’s and feminists’ of the second wave views on matemity, the paper shows Slavenka Drakulić’s ideas presented in her novel Optužena. The Croatian author rejects the myth of matemal love by writing about yiolence against the child and pathology in the mother-daughter relationship. The problem of transgenerational transmission of trauma is shown in an interesting literary way and it is really innovatory.

O materinstvu na drugi način - prećutane strane materinstva u romanu "Optužena" Slavenke Drakulić

2017

Slavenka Drakulić is a Croatian journalist and writer, known as a feminist who writes about the problems in women’s lives. In the novel Optužena (2012), she demonstrates in an interesting, artistic way the less known questions of motherhood, often ignored and tabooed in social discourse. It is known that starting from Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s ideas about maternity, it has been idealized and used in order to constrain women within the patriarchal system, by identifying them primarily as mothers. The concepts of Sigmund Freud, who believed maternity and maternal love to be natural and appropriate for every “standard” woman, contributed to turning into taboos some pathologies connected with mat…

Training and motivation in childhood and adolescence in Finnish elite footballers at different phases of their athletic careers

2021

This study retrospectively explored 1) early specialization and hours of training in childhood and adolescence and 2) the interrelations of different types of motivation in four samples of elite male footballers in different phases of their athletic careers (N=91): Finnish first-tier players (n=23), youth national team players (U19 and U21; n=33), national team players (n=22), and Finland’s so-called Golden Generation players of the 1990s and 2000s (n=13). For this study, the Golden Generation was defined by FAF as footballers who had played at least ten official World cup or European championship qualifying games between the years 1996‒2008 and played in international top leagues during th…

Mild Aerobic Exercise Training Hardly Affects the Diaphragm ofmdxMice

2017

In the mdx mice model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), mild endurance exercise training positively affected limb skeletal muscles, whereas few and controversial data exist on the effects of training on the diaphragm. The diaphragm was examined in mdx (C57BL/10ScSn-Dmdmdx) and wild-type (WT, C57BL/10ScSc) mice under sedentary conditions (mdx-SD, WT-SD) and during mild exercise training (mdx-EX, WT-EX). At baseline, and after 30 and 45 days (training: 5 d/wk for 6 weeks), diaphragm muscle morphology and Cx39 protein were assessed. In addition, tissue levels of the chaperonins Hsp60 and Hsp70 and the p65 subunit of nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) were measured in diaphragm, gastrocnemius, and q…

Lack of Dystrophin Affects Bronchial Epithelium inmdxMice

2016

Mild exercise training may positively affect the course of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Training causes mild bronchial epithelial injury in both humans and mice, but no study assessed the effects of exercise in mdx mice, a well known model of DMD. The airway epithelium was examined in mdx (C57BL/10ScSn-Dmdmdx) mice, and in wild type (WT, C57BL/10ScSc) mice either under sedentary conditions (mdx-SD, WT-SD) or during mild exercise training (mdx-EX, WT-EX). At baseline, and after 30 and 45 days of training (5 d/wk for 6 weeks), epithelial morphology and markers of regeneration, apoptosis, and cellular stress were assessed. The number of goblet cells in bronchial epithelium was much lower…

Rates of Upper Facet Joint Violation in Minimally Invasive Percutaneous and Open Instrumentation: A Comparative Cohort Study of Different Insertion T…

2017

Background Minimally invasive pedicle screw placement may have a higher incidence of violation of the superior cephalad unfused facet joint. Study Aims We investigated the incidence and risk factors of upper facet joint violation in percutaneous robot-assisted instrumentation versus percutaneous fluoroscopy-guided and open transpedicular instrumentation. Methods A retrospective study including all consecutive patients who underwent lumbar instrumentation, fusion, and decompression for spondylolisthetic stenosis and degenerative disk disease was conducted between January 2012 and January 2016. All operations were performed by the same surgeon; the patients were divided into three groups acc…

Angiogenesis control in spine regeneration

2012

Abstract: The intervertebral disc (IVD) has a complex vascularisation pattern. While the nucleus pulposus is avascular, the annulus fibrosus as well as the endplates are vascularised. IVD degeneration is often accompanied, on the one hand, by blood vessel ingrowth into the nucleus pulposus and, on the other hand, by diminished vascularisation of the endplates. Tissue engineering of IVD, therefore, has to address the differences in the vascularisation of IVD compartments. This chapter summarises current knowledge about the mechanisms of angiogenesis and its physiological and pathological role in IVD biology. Different strategies to control angiogenesis are discussed in the chapter with examp…

Repair of osteochondral defects in articular weightbearing areas in the rabbit's knee. The use of autologous osteochondral and meniscal grafts.

1987

Repair of osteochondral defects in articular weightbearing areas presents its own particular problems because of the low potential of hyaline cartilage for regeneration. Our first group of experiments on the knee of the rabbit confirms that the new regenerated cartilage comes from bone marrow which degenerates before developing into true hyaline cartilage. The second group of experiments shows that autologous grafts from the non-weightbearing articular area suitable for the repair of defects in weightbearing areas. In an third group, autologous meniscal fibrocartilage was used as a graft for the repair of osteochondral defects.

Primary total hip arthroplasty with fourth-generation ceramic bearings: Clinical and survival results with a minimum follow-up of 5 years.

2019

Abstract Objective To evaluate the clinical results and survival of primary hip prosthesis with ceramic delta bearings (C-C) with a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Material and method A total of 205 primary hip arthroplasties performed between 2008 and 2012 were studied. The clinical results, pre-surgical and at 5 years of follow-up were evaluated using the Harris Hip Score (HHS), the Short Form-36 (SF-36), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and the visual analogue scale (VAS). The position of the prosthetic components, periprosthetic osteolysis, loosening of the prosthetic components and ruptures of the ceramic components were studied radiologically. …
