Pain and clinical findings in the low back: a study of industrial employees with 5-, 10-, and 28-year follow-ups.
2009
Little is known about the relationships of clinical findings in the low back with low back pain (LBP) in the normal working population. We studied whether physiotherapist's findings in the low back were associated with local and radiating LBP among a cohort (n=902) of employees in the engineering industry. A systematic non-proportional sample was drawn in strata by age, gender, and occupational class. The non-proportionality aimed at increasing sample size in smaller strata. Physiotherapists performed the straight-leg raising test (SRL), and made assessments of the fingertip-to-floor distance and pain in palpation of the lumbar interspinous spaces. The variables on pain at the interspinous …
Nonadherence in outpatient thrombosis prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparins after major orthopaedic surgery
2010
Background: According to some current guidelines, extended thromboprophylaxis after hip and knee arthroplasties is recommended. Outpatient prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) is an important part of this prophylaxis, although the rates of adherence to these regimens is not known. Questions/purposes: We determined (1) the degree of nonadherence (NA) of patients with LMWH outpatient prophylaxis, and (2) whether specific independent factors explain NA. Methods: NA was determined by syringe count and by indirect and direct questions to patients. We defined six different NA indicators. To identify factors explaining LMWH NA, we used three different logistic regression models. R…
A real life comparison of the effectiveness of adalimumab and golimumab in moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, supported by propensity score analy…
2018
Abstract Background Adalimumab and golimumab are effective in the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Aims We reported the comparative effectiveness of adalimumab and golimumab in ulcerative colitis. Methods 118 patients treated with adalimumab and 79 treated with golimumab were included and evaluated at 8 weeks and at the end of follow up. Results Overall clinical benefit was 72.6% at 8 weeks and 58.9% at the end of follow up. Patients with longer disease duration and those treated with adalimumab had a better outcome. Clinical benefit was 78.8% in adalimumab patients and 63.3% in golimumab patients (p = 0.026) after 8 weeks; it was 66.9% in adalimumab patients and 46.8% in…
Hip viscosupplementation under ultra-sound guidance riduces NSAID consumption in symptomatic hip osteoarthritis patients in a long follow-up. Data fr…
2011
Introduction: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) consumption is strictly related to a high gastrointestinal and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity rate. Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) recommendations in patients with symptomatic hip or knee OA stated that NSAIDs should be used at the lowest effective dose but their long-term use should be avoided if possible. OARSI guidelines for the treatment of the hip OA include the use of viscosupplementation, which aims to restore physiological and rheological features of the synovial fluid. Objective: Aim of this multicentric, open and retrospective study is to investigate if NSAID consumption may be reduced by t…
Three-year mortality after acute myocardial infarction in patients with different diabetic status
2021
Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is estimated at about 25%. Short and long-term prognoses are worse in DM and hyperglycemia compared with non-diabetics. Objectives: Our aim was to analyze the impact of DM and transient hyperglycemia on in-hospital complications and long-term outcomes in MI patients. Patients and Methods: We evaluated a prospective cohort of 58,394 MI patients in the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndrome in terms of in-hospital complications and 30-day, 12-month, and 36-month outcomes between 2009–2012. Results: Type 1 and 2 DM patients underwent invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures less frequen…

Multinomiaalisen logistisen regression sovellus vuoden 2014 EVAn kansalliseen asennetutkimukseen
2017
Kun vastemuuttuja on luokiteltu ja siinä on enemmän kuin kaksi luokkaa, niin mallinnusta voidaan tehdä multinomiaalisen logistisen regression avulla. Tämän alaluokka on nominaalinen logistinen regressio ja sitä käytetään, kun vasteen luokkia ei saada perustellusti yhteen tiettyyn järjestykseen. Siinä yksi vasteen luokka valitaan referenssiluokaksi, johon muita vasteen luokkia verrataan. Parametrit estimoidaan suurimman uskottavuuden menetelmällä. Malleja vertaillaan uskottavuusosamäärätestin ja AIC:n avulla. Mallin sopivuutta aineistoon tarkastellaan Pearsonin jäännöksillä. Nominaalista logistista regressiota sovelletaan Elinkeinoelämän valtuuskunnan (EVA) vuoden 2014 kansalliseen asennetut…
El cambio en la epistemologia y en la práctica docente de profesores universitarios de química.
2008
Esta Tesis Doctoral fundamenta los problemas tratados desde el cuerpo de conocimientos elaborado en la investigación en Didáctica de las Ciencias Experimentales. La situación de partida que justifica esta investigación, tienen que ver con el hecho que desde este cuerpo de conocimientos, uno de los factores que más ha impactado en la Formación inicial y continuada de Profesores, ha sido plantearse y reflexionar argumentadamente sobre todo aquello que hemos de saber y saber hacer los profesores de ciencias. En la actualidad, hay un consenso generalizado por considerar con toda atención la formación de profesores si queremos que en un amplio número puedan llevarse a las aulas de clase los abun…
Estudios sobre la familia de problemas aritmético-algebraicos
2008
La resolución de problemas de matemáticas en los sistemas educativos es el campo de trabajo de la tesis, esta consta de estudios teóricos y empíricos sobre los problemas de la familia de problemas aritmético-algebraicos.En los estudios teóricos se consideran los elementos del problema: cantidades y relaciones entre ellas y se describe la estructura de un problema mediante un diagrama producido por el método de análisis- síntesis o por medio de grafos trinomiales que representan una lectura analítica del enunciado del problema. A partir de la descripción estructural se considera el carácter aritmético o algebraico del problema, cuando dos problemas dados son isomorfos y se describen diversas…
Semantic Complexity in Natural Language
2015
This chapter presents the technical framework that the authors used to define fragments of natural languages and formulate questions as to their semantic complexity. It examines the study of the classical syllogistic and its extensions. It analyzes the semantic complexity of various salient fragments of English. It highlights that the language of argument, featuring transitive verbs, is in an objective sense inferentially no more complex than the language of classical syllogisms exemplified by argument, indeed, the analogous extension featuring ditransitive verbs involves only a modest increase in complexity. On the other hand, the language of argument, which adds relative clauses to the cl…
