The Rolf Method of Structural Integration on Fascial Tissue Stiffness, Elasticity, and Superficial Blood Perfusion in Healthy Individuals: The Prospe…
2020
Introduction: There are multiple theories surrounding the physiological impact of structural integration (SI) with little evidence or research corroborating any of these. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of 10 sessions of SI on fascial tissue (FT) superficial blood perfusion, stiffness, and elasticity in 13 healthy women.Methods: This was a prospective, interventional study. The primary outcome measures were FTs’ superficial blood perfusion, stiffness, and elasticity of bilateral selected FT points on the body. Data were collected before and after 10 sessions of SI intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon test (intragroup compari…
Plantar fascia evaluation with a low-field MRI scanner in weight-bering position: our initial experience in patients with plantar fasciitis and in he…
2009
Purpose: To assess the usefulness of weight-bearing examination of the ankle performed with a low-field MRI scanner in the evaluation of plantar fascia in normal healthy volunteers and in patients with a clinical evidence of plantar fasciitis. Methods and Materials: We retrospectively evaluated ankle MR examinations in two groups of 40 patients each, performed between January and July 2008. Spin echo T1W, Gradient echo T2W, and Short Tau Inversion Recovery (STIR) images were acquired with a 0.2 T scanner (G-Scan, Esaote Biomedica, Genoa, Italy) in both weight-bearing position and normal conventional supine position. A dedicated extremities transmitter/receiver coil was used. The lesion site…
Una Nueva Técnica de Remodelación de la Punta Nasal en Rinoplastia, para Casos Extremadamente Difíciles, Mediante la Resección Total de los Cartílago…
2015
Leonardo Da Vinci solía decir que: “La nariz está ahí para manifestar el carácter del rostro”. Y ya en el s. XX, Jack Sheen afirmó con rotundidad: “La Rinoplastia es una operación tremendamente difícil aunque técnicamente resulte decepcionantemente fácil”. La Rinoplastia es una de las operaciones más frecuentes en Cirugía Plástica, es la más difícil, creativa, artística, estudiada, debatida, controvertida, apasionante y siempre fascinante. Y la parte más difícil de abordar con éxito en una rinoplastia es la Punta. Presentamos una Nueva Técnica de Remodelación de la Punta Nasal en Rinoplastia, para Casos Extremadamente Difíciles, Mediante la Resección Total de los Cartílagos Alares y Fascia …
Posterior One-Trocar-Assisted Pyeloplasty
2019
Introduction Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is the most common pediatric obstructive uropathy. Retroperitoneal lap- aroscopic-assisted dismembered pyeloplasty (OTAP) combines the advantages of a retroperitoneal approach with the high success rate of the open technique. A modification of the OTAP, using a posterior muscle-sparing incision to approach the kidney, is described. Surgical technique With the patient placed in prone position, a transverse 15-mm-long skin incision is made. A 12-mm bal- loon Hasson trocar with operative telescope is inserted after the Gerota’s fascia has been opened. The ureteropelvic junction is exteriorized and a traditional dismembered pyeloplasty is performe…

Valutazione della fascia plantare con una RM dedicata in posizione ortostatica: esperienza preliminare in pazienti con fascite plantare ed in volonta…
2009
Obiettivo/Introduzione: Dimostrare l’utilità dell’esame sotto carico della caviglia eseguito con una macchina RM dedicata nella valutazione della fascia plantare in volontari sani ed in pazienti con evidenza clinica di fascite plantare. Materiali e Metodi: Due gruppi di 20 soggetti l’uno sono stati studiati mediante esame RM, eseguito nel periodo compreso tra Gennaio e Marzo 2009. Usando una bobina ricevente dedicata, abbiamo acquisito immagini spin echo T1 (SE-T1), 3D-steady state (3D-SSF) e short tau inversion recovery (STIR) mediante macchina RM da 0,25 Tesla (G-Scan, Esaote SpA, Genova, Italia), sia in posizione ortostatica che supina convenzionale. Risultati: In tutti i volontari sani …
Variations in the Thickness of the Plantar Fascia After Training Based in Training Race. A Pilot Study.
2020
Plantar fascia (PF) is a connective tissue made up of mostly type 1 collagen that is subjected to constant loads. This study evaluated the effect of continuous running on tissue stress in the PF by measuring changes in the thickness of the PF using ultrasound scans. It was a cross-sectional study involving 24 runners from the University of Valen- cia, recruited as volunteers between December 2018 and February 2019. A variety of data was recorded: (age, body mass index, type of footwear, number of workouts per week, KM run per week, sports injuries in the last year, pre and postrace ultrasound PF measurements). There were significant differences in the 3 postrace meas- urements of the left f…
Estimation of dynamic energy budget parameters for the Mediterranean toothcarp (Aphanius fasciatus)
2014
Organisms adopt different sets of physiological, behavioural and morphological trade-offs in order to cope with natural environmental fluctuations. This has consequential rebounds on ecological processes and population dynamics. Such aspects become crucial for sex-dimorphic species, where sex-specific growth variation could mirror different tactics both in energy acquisition and investment between maximum female and male body size with cascading effects on population demography. To date, different approaches have been used in order to understand the causes of individual growth rate changes in ectotherm indeterminate growers, most of which failed. Here, we propose the use of a mechanistic mo…

Lactate level and handgrip test in migraine and fibromyalgia after self-myofascial release treatment
2019
The Aim of the study was to determine the effect of self-myofascial release (SMFR) treatment on handgrip test score in patients with fibromyalgia and migraine, investigating also if the lactate levels influenced the result. Twenty-five subjects affected by migraine (age 49.7±12.5; height 164.9±6.62 cm; weight 68.6±16.9 kg) and ten subjects affected by fibromyalgia (age 43.7±21.2; height 158±5.65 cm; weight 70±28.9 kg) were enrolled in the study. The assessments included a handgrip test, in order to evaluate isometric strength of both hands and forearm muscles and the lactate levels evaluation. The treatment was performed in the three most painful trigger points indicated from subjects as to…
