Upper and Lower Limb Strength and Body Posture in Children with Congenital Hypothyroidism: An Observational Case-Control Study
2020
Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is an endocrine disease with a precocious significant impairment of growth and neuromotor development. Thyroid hormones are essential for central nervous system development, maturation, and myelination. Furthermore, thyroid hormone deficiency affects the function of several systems, including the musculoskeletal system. The disease has a significant incidence in the general population (1:3000–1:2000 newborns in Italy). The aim of the present study was to evaluate any differences in upper and lower limb strength, body sway, and plantar loading distribution in children with CH compared to healthy children. Methods: In this study, the case group was c…
España como detonante de la modernidad: Fortuna crítica de lo español en el arte europeo y norteamericano, 1808-1918
2022
A través del estudio de la fortuna crítica del arte de un determinado período es posible conocer, no solamente, cómo llegó a difundirse un modelo artístico, sino también cómo ha sido sucesivamente valorado, por qué y cuál ha sido su influencia. Por lo que respecta a la recuperación de lo español durante el siglo XIX fueron fundamentalmente franceses e ingleses quienes la llevaron a cabo. En este sentido, el enorme reconocimiento que en el ámbito internacional alcanzó la pintura del Siglo de Oro español, consiguiendo una difusión cada vez mayor, representó un papel de importancia decisiva en el desarrollo de la plástica occidental desde el momento en el que artistas románticos, realistas o i…
Comparison of Postural Features and Muscle Strength between Children with Idiopathic Short Stature and Healthy Peers in Relation to Physical Exercise
2020
Previous research has reported that children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) showed functional and cognitive impairments. The purpose of this study was to compare muscle strength and body posture between children with ISS treated with growth hormone (GH) and healthy peers (healthy children, HC), and to analyze whether these parameters were affected by physical exercise. Eighteen children for the ISS group (mean age: 10.96 ± 1.68 years) and 26 children for the HC group (mean age: 10.19 ± 1.06 years) were recruited for the study. All participants performed the following assessments: handgrip and Sargent test for the muscle strength evaluation; baropodometric and stabilometric test for the…
Allometrically scaled explosive strength, but not static strength or maximal oxygen uptake is associated with better central processing time in young…
2020
BACKGROUND: We aimed to examine the associations of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), static strength and explosive strength with cognitive functions in young males. METHODS: Eighty-six young males (age 16-24 years) participated in the study and took part in a number of tests including: static strength (grip strength test), explosive strength (Sargent jump test), and CRF (via direct measure of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)). Static strength and explosive strength were scaled by allometrically modeled skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and height while VO2max was scaled by SMM and body mass (BM). Cognition was assessed by inhibitory control, simple and choice reaction time tasks using computerized C…
