Abstract The assessment of the six-week influence of Kinesio Taping combined with a rehabilitation on selected ultrasonography measurements, the level of disability, and the quality of life in patients with rotator cuff lesions. 60 participants were randomly assigned into a taping group (KT combined with a six-week rehabilitating protocol) and a control group (only rehabilitation protocol). In all patients the following assessments were performed twice: USG, UEFI and NHP questionnaires. In the examination of the subacromial space and the subacromial bursa in the taping group, no statistical significance was observed. A statistically significant change in the thickness of the muscles was obtained only for the thickness of the infraspinatus in the taping group. A statistically significant change was obtained in the assessment of tendinopathy only for the supraspinatus muscle in both groups. Within both groups a statistically significant difference was observed in the average UEFI and NHP scores; however, the differences in the scores obtained between the groups were not statistically significant. The use of KT with a rehabilitation program did not yield statistically significantly better results in the improvement of selected shoulder region indicators, the function of the upper limb and the quality of life.

Buprenorphine drug cartridge was made for autoinjector device for use in emergency and critical situations to reduce the morbidity and mortality. Water-filled cartridges were prepared and buprenorphine was injected aseptically in the cartridge, to make 0.05 and 0.10 mg/mL. Rats were injected intraperitoneally, buprenorphine (0.3 and 0.6 mg/kg), repeatedly with the autoinjector and compared with manual injection (7 days and 14 days) using various haematological and biochemical parameters. No significant change was observed in the body weight, organ to body weight ratio and haematological variables in any of the experimental groups compared with the control group. Except serum urea and aspartate aminotransferase, no significant change was observed in glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, bilirubin, protein, albumin, creatinine, uric acid, alanine aminotransferase, gamma glutamyltransferase and alkaline phosphatase. The autoinjectors deliver the drugs with spray effect and force for faster absorption. In the present study, the autoinjector meant for intramuscular injection was injected intraperitoneally in rats, and the drug was delivered with force on the vital organs. No significant difference was observed in the autoinjector group compared to the manual group showing tolerability and safety of the buphrenorphine autoinjector. This study shows that buprenorphine autoinjector can be considered for further research work.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effects of a physiotherapy protocol applied in joints with osteochondritis dissecans submitted to arthroscopy. Twelve horses totaling twenty joints were used and divided into two uniform groups, according to articular lesion grade. Treated Group (TG) received the physiotherapy protocol (cryotherapy, passive rage motion and controlled exercise) that initiate just after anesthetic recovery and extended for five days. Control Group (CG) remained resting in stall during the same period. Physical examination and synovial fluid analysis were used to evaluate the treatment. The synovial fluid examination consisted of physical analysis (color, aspect, and viscosity), mucin clot evaluation, Serum Amyloid A, Prostaglandin E2 and urea concentration. Synovial samples were collected by arthrocentesis at the beginning of the surgical procedure (D1), 48 hours (D3) and 96 hours (D5) after surgery. Before arthroscopy and daily during the postoperative period joints were evaluated by physical exam: superficial temperature (°C), range of motion (degrees) and circumference (centimeters). The joint physical examination showed no significant difference between groups and neither along the days for the same group. The parameters of synovial fluid showed difference over the moments in each group but didn’t have difference between groups. Color and aspect had the same patterns across moments, in CG fluid had significant change when compared D1 with D3 (color and aspect: p<0.001) and D5 (color: p<0.001; aspect: p<0.05) becoming mostly bloody and cloudy in D3 and D5. However in TG the difference was significant just between D1 and D3 (color and aspect: p<0.05), showing an improvement of synovial fluid in D5 (color and aspect: p>0.05). Viscosity and mucin clot evaluation showed significant change in CG between D1 and D3 (viscosity: p<0.01; mucin clot: p<0.05) and between D1 and D5 (viscosity: p<0.01;mucin clot: p<0.01). In TG no significant difference of viscosity and mucin clot was observed over the moments, showing an early improvement of synovial fluid quality. The Serum Amyloid A concentration showed an extremely significant increase in CG (p<0.001) when compared D1 (1217.13±664.47μg/mL) and D3 (42423.80±52309.31μg/mL). The comparison between D1 and D5 in CG, and across moments in TG, had no statistical difference. The PGE2 eicosanoid remained statistically unchanged all over the time. Urea showed significant increase in D3 when compared to D1 (p<0.001) in CG, and had no variation in TG. The physiotherapy protocol minimized the inflammatory mediators and provided minor alterations in synovial fluid after arthroscopy.

Core stability and the ability to balance have both a critical role in today’s modern soccer. Majority of injuries originated from the weakness and inefficient strength of core musculature and the kinetic chain. The purpose of our study was to investigate the effect of a three month proprioceptive training programme on core stability and the ability to balance. We hypothesized that both of the skills might improve by the end of the 12-week exercise program. We set up a group involving 15 players, who regularly participated in a weekly 40 minutes special proprioceptive training routine. The control group hasn’t attended any additional strengthening workout session. The youngsters executed a fitball balancing task, in a seated position, and the so-called Stork-test. Before the 3-month exercise program, we implemented a pre-, at the end of the program a post-test. According to our results, we may conclude that we had measured a significant difference only in the Fitball-test when players executed the single leg balancing test (Stork-test), we haven’t observed any significant difference.

Background: Use of marrow-stimulating techniques to treat osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) in National Basketball Association (NBA) players is controversial. Hypothesis: NBA players will be able to return to preinjury playing status after treatment of OLTs by arthroscopic debridement alone without marrow-stimulating techniques. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Between the 2000 and 2015 seasons, 10 NBA players were treated with arthroscopic debridement of an OLT. The following performance outcomes were compared pre- and postoperatively: seasons played, games played, games started, minutes per game, points per game, field goals, 3-point shots, rebounds, assists, double doubles, triple doubles, steals, blocks, turnovers, personal fouls, assists per turnovers, steals per turnovers, NBA rating, scoring efficiency, and shooting efficiency. In addition, the players were compared with a matched control group using mixed effects regression and Fisher least significant difference modeling. Results: All 10 players returned to play in the NBA after arthroscopic debridement without microfracture or drilling of an OLT. When compared with preoperative performance, postoperative mean points scored, assists made, and steals made increased by 2.86 ( P = .042), 0.61 ( P = .049), and 0.15 ( P = .027), respectively. Only field goal percentage decreased postoperatively when compared with matched controls; however, this normalized by the end of the second season after surgery. There was no statistically significant change in any of the other performance factors when compared with matched controls. All patients returned to basketball during the same season (n = 1) or the following season (n = 9) if the operation was performed off-season. The mean length of career after surgery was 4.1 years, with 5 players still playing in the league at the time of this study. Conclusion: After arthroscopic debridement of an OLT without drilling or microfracture, there was a high rate of return to the NBA, with improved points scored, assists, and steals made after surgery when compared with preoperative performance. There was no statistically significant change in any performance factors when compared with uninjured matched controls. Lesion size did not affect player career length. These data should be used to manage patients’ and teams’ expectations regarding players’ ability to return to elite levels of athletic performance after surgery of an OLT.

Background: Malnutrition is estimated to account for more than one third of all child deaths, although it is rarely listed as a direct cause. Hypnoparenting is an attempt by parents to bring their children into the subconscious. This study aimed to determine the effect of hypnoparenting on nutritional status in preschool age children at Al-Fathir kindergarten, Tangerang, Banten. Subjects and Method: This was a quasi-experiment with a non-randomized pretest posttest design was conducted at Al-Fathir Kindergarten, Tangerang City, Banten Province from April to August 2020. A sample of 36 selected by purposive sampling. This study was divided into 2 groups: (1) 18 respondents were given hypnoparenting treatment and for the second group; and (2) 18 respondents were not given hypnoparenting. The dependent variable was nutritional. The independent was hypnoparenting. The data were analyzed by non-parametric tests. Results: There was a significant difference between nutritional status before hypnoparenting (p= 0.293) and nutritional status after hypnoparenting (p= 0.406) but there was no effect between changes in nutritional status made in the intervention group (Mean= 16.25; SD= 2.46; p= 0.222) and the control group (Mean= 16.18; SD= 3.88; p= 0.150). Conclusion: Hypnoparenting has effect in nutritional status of preschool age children, but it is statistically non-significant. Next, researchers will conduct further research on overcoming problems in children, especially nutritional problems, and the parents/guardians of students to be more effective in doing hypnoparenting to be maximized.

Acute Changes

Background: The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis (HD) treatment and preservation of a stable vascular access is crucial. Long term Far Infrared Radiation (FIR) has been found to increase access flow together with an enhanced maturation and patency of the AVF. The acute effects of FIR on access flow have been sparsely described and the results are contradictory, perhaps due to differences in measurement conditions and other factors of importance for access flow. Methods: Twenty patients in HD with an AVF were included. Each patient was randomized to receive either FIR (FIR group) or no FIR (control group). The acute changes in access flow were investigated in both groups on the second dialysis day of the week and during the first 1.5 h of the dialysis session. Concomitant changes in hemodynamic parameters of importance for access flow were also explored. Results: There was no significant change in access flow in the FIR group compared with the control group (median (Interquartile Range)) (−10 (−413.8; 21.3) ml/min vs −17.5 (−83.8; 76.3) ml/min, p = 0.58). There was no significant difference in any of the hemodynamic parameters between the FIR and the control group; cardiac output (−0.7 (−1.2; −0.2) l/min vs −0.4 (−0.9; 0.1) l/min, p = 0.58), cardiac index (−0.3 (−0.5; −0.1)) l/min/m2 vs −0.3 (−0.4; 0) l/min/m2, p = 0.68), mean arterial pressure (5.5 (−1.8; 8.4) mmHg vs 1.5 (−3; 6.3) mmHg, p = 0.35) and total peripheral resistance (2 (1.8; 3.4) mmHg × min/l vs 1 (−0.3; 3.1) mmHg × min/l, p = 0.12). Conclusion: In this trial, with a highly standardized set-up, one session of FIR did not result in any acute changes in access flow. This was not due to differences in the hemodynamic parameters between the groups.

Background: The Sarggasum’s sp. extract contains of several chemical properties such as flavonoid, vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc, and calcium which has benefit as anti-inflammation, so it can be used as an alternative therapy for traumatic ulcer. Purpose: To investigate the effectivity of Sargassum’s sp. extract towards the amount of macrophages in the healing process of traumatic ulcers. Material and Method: 32 wistar rats were divided into 4 groups, K1 the negative control group without treatment, K2 the positive control group with the drugs containing 0.2% hyaluronic acid, and the treatment group K3 Sargassum’s sp. extract concentrations of 50% and K4 Sargassum’s sp. extract concentrations of 75%. Traumatic ulcer were made in the labial mucosa of rats by using heated amalgam stopper. On the fourth and seventh day, rats were sacrified and biopsied on lower labial mucosa. The macrophages were observed using a 1000x magnification light microscope with OptiLab viewer. Result: The statistical test using One Way ANOVA showed significant difference (p<0,05) of macrophage on fourth day group. The LSD test showed a significant difference (p<0,05) in macrophages at K1 (2.83±1.03) compared to K3 (1.17±0.64), K1 compared to K4 (0.58±0.79), K2 (2.58±0.50) compared to K3, and K2 compared to K4 at the fourth day group, whereas the seventh day group showed no significant differences between each groups. Conclusion: The Sargassum’s sp. extract concentrations of 75% is the most effective in decreasing amount of macrophages in the healing process of traumatic ulcers.
