Warunki dobrego postu według wybranych pisarzy greckich IV-VI w
2020
Praktykowanie postu wśród wyznawców Jezusa Chrystusa należało do istotnych czynności ascetycznych już od pierwszych pokoleń chrześcijaństwa, ponieważ to zalecenie pojawiło się w nauczaniu Zbawiciela. Dlatego pasterze tamtych czasów na różne sposoby zachęcali członków swoich wspólnot do podjęcia okresowego postu, niezależnie od ich zróżnicowanego podejścia do jego przestrzegania. O obecności zagadnienia postu w życiu kościelnym tych wspólnot świadczą teksty homilii, mów i traktatów, w których zamieszczone są zachęty kierowane do wiernych opisujące sposoby przestrzegania zasad postu oraz jego uzdrawiające wartości. Do autorów, którzy zajmowali się tymi kwestiami, należeli m.in. Asteriusz z Am…
‘Cos I’m a Survivor’ : Narratives of coping and resilience in recollections of difficult childhood in post-war Finland
2018
In post-war Finland thousands of children experienced poor upbringing, neglect and abuse, and had to deal with their experiences without social support from adults. In this article we study how difficult and bitter experiences related to childhood crises are remembered, reinterpreted and reframed in later life and in contemporary Finland. As research material we use both oral and written reminiscences of childhood in the post-war years collected in the period 2014–2016. We argue that in the recollections of difficult childhood coping and resilience emerge as major narrative themes. Although informants in their childhood were forced to suffer in silence, they remember themselves as being res…
Papel del grosor íntima-media en carótida y del TC de coronarias en la detección temprana de aterosclerosis en la mujer y posible modulación por poli…
2016
La enfermedad cardiovascular es una de las primeras causas de muerte . Su fundamento biológico es la aterosclerosis, un proceso inflamatorio. Una parte de la lucha contra ella se ha centrado en la actuación sobre los factores de riesgo modificables. Paralelamente, hay un interés creciente en la detección de biomarcadores fiables, que sean capaces de identificar la presencia de aterosclerosis en fases tempranas, cuando el riesgo clínico es bajo. Las pruebas de imagen están siendo importantes en este contexto. Aunque ha sido tradicionalmente asociada con el género masculino, la enfermedad cardiovascular también representa la principal causa de morbi-mortalidad en las mujeres. De hecho, cualqu…
POSTURE AND POSTUROLOGY, ANATOMICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PROFILES: OVERVIEW AND CURRENT STATE OF ART
2017
Background and aim of work: posture is the position of the body in the space, and is controlled by a set of anatomical structures. The maintenance and the control of posture are a set of interactions between muscle-skeletal, visual, vestibular, and skin system. Lately there are numerous studies that correlate the muscle-skeletal and the maintenance of posture. In particular, the correction of defects and obstruction of temporomandibular disorders, seem to have an impoact on posture. The aim of this work is to collect information in literature on posture and the influence of the stomatognatich system on postural system. Methods: Comparison of the literature on posture and posturology by cons…

The early changes in trunk muscle strength and disability following lumbar spine fusion
2012
To analyze trunk muscle function pre- and postoperatively in patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion. Associations between changes in trunk muscle strength and disability were also studied.A total of 114 patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion participated in the study. The flexion and extension strength of the trunk was measured preoperatively and 3 months after surgery using a strain-gauge dynamometer. Disability and pain during the past week was evaluated with the Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS), respectively.Preoperative trunk extension and flexion strength levels were 319 N and 436 N in males, respectively, and 160 N and 214 N in females, respectively. In …
Surgical repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture with an end-to-end tendon suture and tendon flap.
2015
Abstract Background Achilles tendon ruptures are becoming more common. Complications after open or minimally invasive surgery are: recurrent rupture (2–8%), wound breakdown, deep infections, granuloma, and fistulas. The authors expose their experience with a personal technique. Materials In 8 patients with acute rupture of Achilles tendon the surgery was performed at least 25 days after trauma. Clinical exam and MR demonstrated in all case a total lesion of tendon. After a posterolateral skin incision the tendon stumps were debrided and suture in end-to-end fashion. A tendon flap was harvested from the proximal part of the tendon, in order to protect and reinforce the suture itself. A plast…
A comparison of lumbopelvic motion patterns and erector spinae behavior between asymptomatic subjects and patients with recurrent low back pain durin…
2015
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the patterns of lumbopelvic motion and erector spinae (ES) activity during trunk flexion-extension movements and to compare these patterns between patients with recurrent low back pain (LBP) in their pain-free periods and matched asymptomatic subjects. Methods: Thirty subjects participated (15 patients with disc herniation and recurrent LBP in their pain-free periods and 15 asymptomatic control subjects). A 3-dimensional videophotogrammetric system and surface electromyography (EMG) were used to record the angular displacements of the lumbar spine and hip in the sagittal plane and the EMG activity of the ES during standardized trunk fle…
Knee Extensor Muscle Strength Is More Important Than Postural Balance for Stair-Climbing Ability in Elderly Patients with Severe Knee Osteoarthritis.
2021
Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease which damages articular cartilage. In its severe stages, it results in impairments in balance and muscle strength loss, which affect daily life activities such as walking or climbing stairs. This study sought to investigate associated factors with stair-climbing ability in this population, with special interest in measuring the relevance of postural balance for this task. Forty-four patients scheduled to undergo unilateral total knee arthroplasty were assessed. Timed up and go test, stair ascent–descent test, three different isometric strength tests (knee flexion, knee extension and hip abduction), active knee extension and flexion range of mov…
The Tongue, Mandible, Hyoid System.
2017
The craniocervical-mandibular system works in harmony and allows different functional tasks as the postural control of the cervical region. This system is formed by the temporomandibular joint, the masticatory muscles and ligaments connecting the temporomandibular joint and the cervical region. It has been seen to affect human posture, and many disorders of the temporomandibular joints may affect this functional arrangement. Notwithstanding this system considered as a functional arrangement, may offer various clinical explanations, it does not hold anatomical connections with the posterior region of the cranium, thus it should not be refered to as a craniocervical arrangement. For this reas…
