rec. a N. De Vita, "Òmini"
2011
È quasi un rito esorcistico, un tentativo di scongiurare la morte l’ultimo libro di Nino De Vita, vincitore del Premio Viareggio-Rèpaci 2012. Un libro di racconti in versi, per meglio precisare, e non una silloge poetica, giacché narrativa è la vocazione dell’autore marsalese, sapiente distillatore di «cùntura», attento ricercatore di storie. Una vocazione attestata da quest’ennesimo tassello del suo Bildungsroman in versi, ma con una differenza vistosa rispetto alla precedente trilogia di "Cutusìo", "Cùntura", "Nnòmura". Ad essere rievocato in questo caso è un capitolo fondamentale dell’autobiografia poetica devitiana: la sua formazione d’artista, scandita dagli incontri con un formidabile…
Real-world experience with obeticholic acid in patients with primary biliary cholangitis
2021
Background & aims Obeticholic acid (OCA) is the second-line treatment approved for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OCA under real-world conditions. Methods Patients were recruited into the Italian PBC Registry, a multicentre, observational cohort study that monitors patients with PBC at national level. The primary endpoint was the biochemical response according to Poise criteria; the secondary endpoint was the biochemical response according to normal range criteria, defined as normal levels of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and alanine aminotransfer…
Urheilu-uran yhdistäminen koulutukseen : kaksoisuraympäristöt ja urheilulukioiden menestystekijät Suomessa
2021
Eurooppalaisessa urheilupolitiikassa on viime vuosikymmenten aikana kasvavassa määrin pyritty tukemaan urheilu-uran yhdistämistä opiskeluun ja työuraan. Erasmus+ projektin “Ecology of Dual Career” (ECO-DC, 2017) tutkimusryhmän määritelmän mukaan tämä urheilun ja koulutuksen/työn yhdistävä kaksoisuraa tukeva kehitysympäristö (Dual Career Development Environment, DCDE) on tarkoituksenmukaisesti kehitetty järjestelmä, joka pyrkii auttamaan urheilijoita tavoitteellisen urheilu-uran ja opiskelun tai työn yhdistämisessä (Morris ym. 2020). Tässä tutkimuksessa kuvataan suomalaiset kaksoisuran kehitysympä-ristöt sekä selvitetään kyselytutkimuksen avulla kehitysympäristöjen erilaisten menestyspiirtei…
Finnish athletes' expectations about physiotherapy in sport injury rehabilitation
2011
As the injured athlete's primary and most frequent contact within the sport injury rehabilitation process, the physiotherapist is in a unique position to influence the athlete's psychological rehabilitation alongside the physical recovery (Barefield & McCallister, 1997). The important question of whether or not athletes expect physiotherapists to address their psychological issues, however, has not yet been investigated in detail. Moreover, scales that measure athletes’ expectations of physiotherapy are also scarce and available only in the English language. Therefore, the purpose of this study was two-fold: 1) to adapt the Expectation About Athletic Training (EAAT) questionnaire into Finni…
A collective case study of athletic identity and successful injury rehabilitation
2015
A severe injury is an identity threatening situation for competitive athletes. Previous literature suggests that having a strong athletic identity can be beneficial for the athlete when injured. To the date there has been little research on how athletic identity is managed during that challenging time of injury. The purpose of this study was to explore how athletic identity is managed during the injury and rehabilitation phase before returning to competitive sport. Knowing the determinants of athletic identity management allows practitioners to adjust their interventions toward specific issues when working with injured athletes. The present study is a qualitative, collective case study. Her…
Watch your step! Is foot landing technique during cutting manoeuvres associated with acute lower extremity injuries? : a 12-month prospective cohort …
2019
Useita pallopelejä luonnehtivat erilaiset nopeat suunnanmuutokset sekä äkilliset kiihdytykset, mitkä altistavat etenkin nuoria urheilijoita akuuteille alaraajavammoille. Aiempien tutkimusten valossa on esitetty, että jalkaterän laskeutumistekniikka saattaisi olla yhteydessä vammariskiin sekä erityyppisiin juoksuvammoihin. Hyvin vähän tiedetään kuitenkin jalkaterän laskeutumistekniikan yhteyksistä alaraajojen kinematiikkaan erityisesti nopeiden suunnanmuutosten aikana. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, onko nopeiden suunnanmuutosten yhteydessä esiintyvällä jalkaterän laskeutumistekniikalla yhteys nuorten palloilijoiden akuutteihin, ilman suoraa kontaktia, tapahtuneisiin nilkan- …
Players with high physical fitness are at greater risk of injury in youth football.
2022
The aim of this study was to investigate physical fitness, football-specific skills and their association with injury risk in youth football. Altogether 447 male and female players aged 9 to 14 years (median 12 years) participated in performance tests and prospective follow-up. The physical fitness tests included five-jump test for distance, 30-m sprint, football-specific figure of eight agility, countermovement jump, and Yo-Yo intermittent endurance test level 1. The football-specific skill tests included dribbling and passing tests. Injuries and exposure were registered during the 20-week follow-up. Our candidate risk factors were low/high level of physical fitness measured with a composi…

Inter‐individual variation of the urinary steroid profiles in Swedish and Norwegian athletes
2020
The steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) aims to detect doping with endogenous steroids, e.g. testosterone (T), by longitudinally monitoring several biomarkers. These biomarkers are ratios combined of urinary concentrations of testosterone and metabolically related steroids. However, it is evident after five years of monitoring steroid passports, that there are large variations in the steroid ratios complicating its interpretation. In this study, we used over 11 000 urinary steroid profiles from Swedish and Norwegian athletes to determine both the inter‐ and intra‐individual variations of all steroids and ratios in the steroidal passport. Furthermore, we investigated if…
