Edukacja techniczna wsparciem rozwoju małej motoryki uczniów w młodszym wieku szkolnym
2018
Sprawność manualna dziecka rozwija się w toku różnorodnych ćwiczeń i zadań ruchowych usprawniających pracę mięśni drobnych oraz koordynację oka i ręki. Od tego, jaki poziom osiągnie dziecko w tym zakresie, zależy, między innymi, przebieg procesu nauki pisania oraz wykonania wszelkich prac manualnych, jednym z zadań edukacji technicznej w przedszkolu, a także w kształceniu wczesnoszkolnym jest rozwijanie motoryki niezbędnej do prawidłowego funkcjonowania dziecka w szkole i w życiu. Proces dochodzenia do biegłości w wykonywaniu precyzyjnych ruchów jest długotrwały i uwarunkowany zarówno cechami indywidualnymi, jak też przebiegiem i intensywnością ćwiczeń w tym zakresie. Przedmiotem poniższego…
El fenómeno senderista en España. Análisis por un panel de expertos
2014
El fenómeno senderista en España. Análisis por un panel de expertos. El senderismo se ha convertido en una de las actividades físico-recreativas más importantes de nuestra sociedad. Los enfoques de práctica superan las motivaciones deportivas para incorporar objetivos turísticos, de calidad de vida, de movilidad no motorizada o del desarrollo rural, por citar algunos ejemplos. Por otra parte, el senderismo admite actividades afines (excursionismo, caminata, trekking, paseo,…) y coexiste perfectamente con otras prácticas complementarias (carreras de montaña, vías ferratas, Btt, equitación,…) que le convierten en un verdadero fenómeno social. Frente una actividad de tal envergadura y transcen…
Derepressing muscleblind expression by miRNA sponges ameliorates myotonic dystrophy-like phenotypes in Drosophila
2016
AbstractMyotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1) originates from alleles of the DMPK gene with hundreds of extra CTG repeats in the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR). CUG repeat RNAs accumulate in foci that sequester Muscleblind-like (MBNL) proteins away from their functional target transcripts. Endogenous upregulation of MBNL proteins is, thus, a potential therapeutic approach to DM1. Here we identify two miRNAs, dme-miR-277 and dme-miR-304, that differentially regulate muscleblind RNA isoforms in miRNA sensor constructs. We also show that their sequestration by sponge constructs derepresses endogenous muscleblind not only in a wild type background but also in a DM1 Drosophila model expressing non-co…
Walking and Running Require Greater Effort from the Ankle than the Knee Extensor Muscles.
2016
The knee and ankle extensors as human primary antigravity muscle groups are of utmost importance in a wide range of locomotor activities. Yet, we know surprisingly little about how these muscle groups work, and specifically, how close to their maximal capacities they function across different modes and intensity of locomotion. Therefore, to advance our understanding of locomotor constraints, we determined and compared relative operating efforts of the knee and ankle extensors during walking, running, and sprinting.Using an inverse dynamics biomechanical analysis, the muscle forces of the knee and ankle extensors during walking (1.6 m·s), running (4.1 m·s), and sprinting (9.3 m·s) were quant…
Anatomy of the cervical spine
2015
The vertebral column, or spine, consisting of a coordinated series of 33-34 vertebrae separated from each other by intervertebral disks, is divided in five segments or sections: cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal [1-7]. Not available
Le Fratture di Rotula
2015
Patellar fractures are relatively uncommon, accounting for approximately 1% of all fractures. Non-operative treatment represents the best choice for undisplaced patellar fractures. However, surgery becomes necessary when fractures are displaced by more than 2 mm, and may include open reduction and internal fixation. Accurate reduction and rigid fixation are required in order to allow early knee mobilization and to obtain a better clinical outcome. Several techniques have been described for patellar fracture fixation, such as tension band wiring, interfragmentary screw fixation, and the combination of screw fixation and cerclage. In this article up-to-date diagnosis, classification and treat…
Safety of intra-articular hip injection of hyaluronic acid products by ultrasound guidance: an open study from ANTIAGE register.
2013
Abstract. – OBJECTIVE: We developed a standardized technique for ultrasound guided intra-articular injection of the hip joint with the purpose of extending routine intra-articular injection of hyaluronans and steroids to the hip, as commonly used in the knee. In this article we report the safety of this technique in an extended series of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients were injected supine with an anterosuperior approach under ultrasound guidance. The Us probe is applied with a target device for biopsy. RESULTS: The standardised technique was used to inject 1906 patients with 4002 injections of hyaluronan products over a four-year period. The treatment was well tolerated with few, …
Acute (0-2h) and delayed (2-8D) effects of exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness on elbow target movements.
2011
The aim was to examine the acute and delayed effects of exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness on elbow target movements (TM) performance and control. Ten males performed an exercise of 50 maximal eccentric elbow actions. TMs were performed at three movement ranges. Maximal forces, active stretch reflex and TM were tested, and muscle soreness, creatine kinase and elbow joint stiffness were determined acute (after and 2 h) and delayed (2, 4, 6, 8d) postexercise. Both the long lasting muscle soreness and force drop were observed after the exercise. Joint stiffness was increased at 2 h postexercise. The highest deterioration in flexion-TM performance was found at the time (2 h) and at the…
Estrogen metabolism modulates bone density in men.
2007
Estrogen is a critical hormone for bone homeostasis in men, but no information is available on the role of estrogen metabolism among men. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of estrogen hydroxylation on male bone mineral density (BMD). Participants consisted of 61 healthy Caucasian males (mean age 66.6 +/- 1.0 years). Urinary estrogen metabolites were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, serum estradiol by ultrasensitive radioimmunoassay, sex hormone binding globulin by radioimmunoassay, and BMD of the lumbar spine and the proximal femur by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Active estrogen metabolites, 16alpha-hydroxyestrone (16alphaOHE(1)) and estriol (E(3)), positiv…
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…
