Mechanical loading influences the lumbar intervertebral disc : A cross‐sectional study in 308 athletes and 71 controls

2021

There is evidence in animal populations that loading and exercise can positively impact the intervertebral disc (IVD). However, there is a paucity of information in humans. We examined the lumbar IVDs in 308 young athletes across six sporting groups (baseball, swimming, basketball, kendo, soccer and running; mean age 19yrs) and 71 non‐athletic controls. IVD status was quantified via the ratio of IVD to vertebral body height (IVD hypertrophy) and ratio of signal intensity in the nucleus to that in the annulus signal (IVD nucleus hydration) on sagittal T2‐weighted MRI. P‐values were adjusted via the false discovery rate method to mitigate false positives. In examining the whole collective, co…

Exercise for the intervertebral disc : a 6-month randomised controlled trial in chronic low back pain

2020

Background context Muscle, bone and tendon respond anabolically to mechanical forces. Whether the intervertebral disc (IVD) can benefit from exercise is unclear. Purpose To examine whether exercise can beneficially affect IVD characteristics. Study design/setting This is a single-blinded 6-month randomised controlled trial (ACTRN12615001270505) in an exercise and physiotherapy clinic. Patient sample Forty patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (NSCLBP) are included in this study. Outcome measures The primary outcome was lumbar IVD T2 time (MRI). Secondary outcomes included IVD diffusion coefficient and IVD expansion with short-duration lying. Methods Twenty patients progressively …

Characterization of Intervertebral Disc Changes in Asymptomatic Individuals with Distinct Physical Activity Histories Using Three Different Quantitat…

2020

(1) Background: Assessments of intervertebral disc (IVD) changes, and IVD tissue adaptations due to physical activity, for example, remains challenging. Newer magnetic resonance imaging techniques can quantify detailed features of the IVD, where T2-mapping and T2-weighted (T2w) and Dixon imaging are potential candidates. Yet, their relative utility has not been examined. The performances of these techniques were investigated to characterize IVD differences in asymptomatic individuals with distinct physical activity histories. (2) Methods: In total, 101 participants (54 women) aged 25&ndash

Kävijät, kokijat, kokemukset: Museologinen tutkimus Siffin senioriklubista taidemuseon keskiössä

2019

Museums have a diverse selection of professional experts participating in preparation for exhibitions and activities with the public. In museums expectations and experiences concerning the visiting public can vary from extreme openness to very traditional approaches. This research focuses on the Sinebrychoff Museum's Senior Citizen Club and its members. What makes people become involved in museum programmes and become regular visitors is the focal point of the study. When exploring the activities of the visiting public in museums, when seeing a person through operative and practical routines as a `client', a theory of recognition, but also of non-recognition, can be applied. This research c…

On application of kernel PCA for generating stimulus features for fMRI during continuous music listening

2018

Background There has been growing interest towards naturalistic neuroimaging experiments, which deepen our understanding of how human brain processes and integrates incoming streams of multifaceted sensory information, as commonly occurs in real world. Music is a good example of such complex continuous phenomenon. In a few recent fMRI studies examining neural correlates of music in continuous listening settings, multiple perceptual attributes of music stimulus were represented by a set of high-level features, produced as the linear combination of the acoustic descriptors computationally extracted from the stimulus audio. New method fMRI data from naturalistic music listening experiment were…

Teoria soimaan : tapaustutkimus musiikin perusteiden opetuksesta Jyväskylän ammattiopistossa

2017

Tutkin maisterintutkielmassani pop/jazz -musiikin perusteiden opettamiseen ja oppimiseen liittyviä erityispiirteitä. Erityisesti syvennyn afroamerikkalaisen musiikin perusteet (AMP) - menetelmään, jossa integroidaan musiikin teorian opiskelu ja yhtyesoitto. Tarkastelen erilaisia oppimiskäsityksiä ja opetusmenetelmiä kevyen musiikin perusteiden opettamisen näkökulmasta ja pyrin luomaan kokonaiskäsityksen siitä, millaiset asiat edesauttavat musiikin hahmotusaineiden oppimista. Tutkimukseni on laadullinen tapaustutkimus, jonka toteutin keväällä 2017 Jyväskylän ammattiopistossa toimiessani taiteen perusopetuksen pop/jazz -musiikin perusteiden opettajana. Tutkimusta varten suunni…

The effects of synchronous music on patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging

2016

Anxiety and claustrophobic reactions in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) lengthen the duration of examinations through increasing need of scan repetition, furthermore the need of anaesthesia makes the process costly. The sedative and alleviative effect of music is widely used in therapeutics, but in related research, music was only used with its original tempo as an intervention to reduce anxiety among MRI patients. 60 outpatients were examined in the Diagnostic Centre of Pécs to test whether the sedative effect of music can be improved by synchronizing it to the rhythm of the gradient pulsation, therefore reducing the effect of loud noises on the perception of music. The patients were assi…
