The Subject

The purpose of this case study was to investigate reflex inhibition of the quadriceps femoris in a subject with postsurgical edema of the left knee. The subject was a 45-year-old male with a traumatic knee injury with resultant edema who underwent elective arthroscopic surgery. Reflex inhibition was assessed by H-reflex elicitation in the femoral nerve and surface electromyography of the quadriceps. To assess the degree of edema, direct circumferential measurements were taken. On the first presurgical visit, the left knee demonstrated mild edema with a decrease in H-reflex amplitudes. Two days after surgery, a further reduction in amplitudes and more swelling were demonstrated followed by an increase in amplitudes and a reduction in edema on the 28th postoperative day. These findings document a relationship between reflex inhibition and joint swelling that was previously described in experimental models where joint edema was simulated.

Retrospective Case

Abstract Background Ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation (US-guided PNM) is an invasive physiotherapy technique which is employed for neurofunctional improvement and treatment of pain. To date, no study has related this technique with muscle stimulation and dynamometry changes. Within the functional assessment tools, dynamometry tests were performed with devices which enable the calculation of variables related with isometric and isokinetic movement. Aim To assess the changes in maximum isometric strength after the application of US-guided PNM. Material and Methods A retrospective case study comprising 13 subjects (26 lower limbs) receiving US-guided PNM, with pre and post-intervention measurements.The inclusion criteria comprised subjects without pain at the time of study, with coefficients of variation (COV) below 15% and in the process of improving loading work. We excluded subjects with pathology provoking pain at the time of the measurements and with contraindications for dynamometry or US-guided PNM. An isometricmeasurement was performed using the KINEO dynamometry system with 90° hip flexion and 45° knee extension, without strapping and with manual grips in lateral supports of the system. The lever arm was placed at 2 cm of the malleoli in the ventral aspect without strapping the ankle and a pre-intervention measurement was performed of the maximum isometric strength based on a mean of 3 repetitions (3 seconds' contraction and 6 seconds' relaxation). Subsequently, the US-guided PNM technique was performed on the femoral nerve, using the Physio Invasiva device and the PES modality (10 Hz frequency, 240 μs pulse width). Ten maximal and pain free stimulations were performed lasting 10 seconds each, with a 10 second rest between each contraction. After the intervention, a post intervention measurement was performed, in the same manner as the previous measurement. Results In total, 13 volunteer subjects participated in the study, aged between 27 and 59 years, of which, 2 were women and 11 were men. After the application of US-guided PNM on the femoral nerve, changes were observed in the maximum mean isometric strength of the quadriceps, which increased from 26.75 kg in the pre-intervention mean with a standard deviation of 7.42 kg to 30.05 kg for the post-intervention mean, with a standard deviation of 9.23 kg. The results were statistically significant with p < 0.000. Conclusion US-guided PNM applied to the femoral nerve is able to produce changes in maximum isometric strength measured using dynamometry.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.
