A Case Report: Post-Operative Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Program for a Patient with Tibial Osteosarcoma

Tumour or bone tumour can occur in any bone and called it as a Osteosarcoma. It is more prone in the long bones of the body especially at metaphyseal growth plate of the bone. Femur, Tibia and Humours are the most common bone for the osteosarcoma and in some research pelvis bone and skull or jaw bone also involved. There are many factors which cause the sarcoma might be due lack of physical activity. The Chondroblastoma as Giant Cell Tumour of the Humours of Epiphysial Chondromatous in nature. Proximal humerus and Knee are the most common and most affected bone by the Chondroblastomas at the level of epiphyses of the longer bone. 62% cases show the thinning of the Subchondral structure and 33% cases shows the collapse and chondral breach Mostly (90%) it is found in the age group of 5 to 25 years of age with the male and female ratio is of 2:1. Psychological and physical improvement is seen in the patient of sarcoma and enhances participation in the exercise with great enthusiasm and help in the reduction the impact of symptoms of diseases. Physical therapy exercise protocol starts from low to moderate intensity which involved resistance exercise, aerobic exercise and combination of both exercises. Conclusion: Physiotherapy has been demonstrated to be useful in post-operative osteosarcoma patients in our case study. Physiotherapy assists the patient in de-stressing from both mental and physical stress. The goal of improving function through health-care management and goal-setting was met on schedule. Taking excellent care of yourself after surgery can help you avoid issues.

The Impact

The objective of this case study was to experimentally manipulate the impact on arousal and recall of two characteristics frequently occurring in gruesome depictions of body parts in smoking cessation advertisements: the presence or absence of an external physical insult to the body part depicted; whether or not the image contains a clear figure/ground demarcation. Three hundred participants (46% male, 54% female; mean age 27.3 years, SD = 11.4) participated in a two-stage online study wherein they viewed and responded to a series of gruesome 4-s video images. Seventy-two video clips were created to provide a sample of images across the two conditions: physical insult versus no insult and clear figure/ground demarcation versus merged or no clear figure/ground demarcation. In stage one, participants viewed a randomly ordered series of 36 video clips and rated how “confronting” they considered each to be. Seven days later (stage two), to test recall of each video image, participants viewed all 72 clips and were asked to identify those they had seen previously. Images containing a physical insult were consistently rated more confronting and were remembered more accurately than images with no physical insult. Images with a clear figure/ground demarcation were rated as no more confronting but were consistently recalled with greater accuracy than those with unclear figure/ground demarcation. Makers of gruesome health warning television advertisements should incorporate some form of physical insult and use a clear figure/ground demarcation to maximize image recall and subsequent potential advertising effectiveness.

The aim of this paper is to examine students’ performance in a computation-based course by evaluating the effects of key factors including sketching, visualization resources provided to them during the lectures, their attendance and tutors’ experience. A systematic review was conducted including 192 articles published during January 2010 to December 2019. Further, a case study has been conducted in which 633 students from non-engineering backgrounds were taught a core course of construction over three-yearly sessions from 2017 to 2019. The performance has been assessed through two quizzes of 10% weight each, assignment of 40% weight and a final exam with 30% weight in 2017-18 and 40% weight in 2019 were utilized with an attendance criterion of below 75% as low attendance. The statistical result highlights that a clear difference of 14% overall marks exist between the students with less than 75% attendance and the ones with 75% and above in 2017 and a 10% gap in 2018. Students with high marks in sketching secured higher overall marks as compared to others highlighting that the sketching skill is useful to construction students. The findings contribute to the body of education knowledge by evaluating key influential factors and provide a useful benchmark to other educators in the field.

Media Event

In this case study, the authors elaborate on the narrative structure of transnational popular media events. Drawing from Dayan and Katz’s concept of media events and Julia Sonnevend’s exceptional work on iconic global media events, they argue that fundamental changes in the way occurrences are being reported on and news is structured must be considered. Allowing for recent technological advancements, the role of the consumer and the compression of time in media use, the authors develop a methodological and theoretical framework fitting a more mundane and everyday life–based approach. They derive their results from the analysis of the “Podgorica Media Event,” a news cycle emerging from a racist incident during an international soccer game between England and Montenegro. Based on the body of 250 international news pieces, they identify a primary mother narration and a distinctive narration as the typical ways of storytelling on a transnational level. While differing greatly in content, aspects of transnational popular media events serve to protect and reify the cultural background they are grounded in on a national level. Thus, we assume that sport, or, more specifically, soccer, may become political in media communication not by the impact of state government but by the consumers themselves choosing and developing a popular media event in the first place.

The Impact

Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback (BFB) can be used to reduce activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and increase activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). A growing body of research suggests that increased arousal of the SNS contributes to the sustained state of postconcussion syndrome (PCS). It has also been postulated that underactivation of the PNS may also play a role in the postinjury state of autonomic dystonia, wherein the autonomic nervous system is in a state of imbalance and does not return to normal. In addition to autonomic imbalance, patients who are generally advised not to engage in physical exertion until asymptomatic from concussion, are known to experience secondary symptoms of fatigue and reactive depression. Recent research has established that such symptoms can delay the recovery from concussion indefinitely. By addressing both autonomic dysfunction and the secondary symptoms of depression and anxiety, HRV BFB may be an effective treatment for PCS by strengthening self-regulatory control mechanisms in the body and improving autonomic balance. Recent studies have suggested that HRV BFB has a positive impact in reducing stress and anxiety among athletes, and concussed athletes with higher perceived control over their symptoms have been shown to have faster recoveries post-injury. The primary purpose of the following case study was, therefore, to assess the feasibility of implementing HRV BFB with a concussed athlete suffering from postconcussion syndrome (PCS). The second objective was to prospectively examine the impact of ten weeks of HRV biofeedback on refractory postconcussion symptoms. During this pilot case study, the athlete attended 10 weekly sessions of HRV BFB, according to the protocol set forth by Lehrer, Vaschillo, and Vaschillo (2000). After 10 weeks of HRV biofeedback, the athlete exhibited clinically significant improvements in total mood disturbance, postconcussion symptoms, and headache severity. The results suggest that HRV BFB may be a useful adjunctive treatment for PCS, associated with increases in HRV and enhanced cardiovagal activity. Given these findings, a randomized controlled trial is warranted.

The Impact

Privatisation affects tens of thousands of workers in Bangladesh, though most research has focused on the relationships between privatisation and profitability of this developing country’s privatisation programmes. This study, therefore, is an attempt to shed light on workers who are very vulnerable and examines the impact of privatisation on workers’ quality of working life. Employing document analysis and semi-structured face-to-face interviews with privatised and state-owned organisations’ workers in Bangladesh, this study finds that workers’ compensation, job security, access to trade unions, and leave entitlements in most privatised case study organisations are less than their counterparts in comparable state-owned organisations. These findings aim at contributing to the body of research by empirically investigating the impact of privatisation on workers who are left behind and possess important implications for the privatisation programmes in Bangladesh as it informs that there is a need to reassess the privatisation programmes through greater awareness of the negative effects of privatisation on workers and renew efforts to develop an approach that is sensitive to the Bangladeshi context.

Critical Health Care

While the application of critical approaches has helped to reduce the conservatism and improve the relevance of scholarship in areas of health care studies including those concerned with social movements and the body, the impact of critical work has been less marked in health care management studies. After discussing the causes and implications of this phenomenon, this chapter extends the work of Burawoy (2004) and Delbridge (2010) to develop an articulation of Critical Health Care Management Studies (CHMS) as a necessary and distinctive domain of scholarship. We then review progress in developing CHMS in terms of the four main concerns of critical management enquiry: (a) questioning the taken-for-granted, (b) moving beyond instrumentalism and assumptions of performativity, (c) a concern for reflexivity and meanings in research, and (d) challenging structures of domination. We conclude by discussing barriers to progress and presenting an agenda for the development of the CHMS domain.

Innovative processes in modem society, of course, touched and medicine. Caused by their structural and organizational changes in health care require a rethinking of many postulates, increased reserves, and most importantly - bringing the most advanced technology.Particular attention is drawn to the area such as Rehabilitology and its practical implementation - Rehabilitation of patients. The success of the solutions of problems of rehabilitation is defined as the presence of the appropriate material and technical base and a sufficient level of training of medical personnel and methodological level of medicine in general. Therefore, a permanent modification of scientific and practical problems of rehabilitation under the influence of processes occurring in health care is inevitable.Purpose - conceptual generalization prospects of Rehabilitation in modern medicine on the basis of extensive use of information technology. The goal of rehabilitation should be not only to restore health, but also in restoring the dignity of man, his social and social independence. Such judgments are more and more in the latest definitions of the concept of rehabilitation.Information technology - this is the provision that allows you to raise the level of rehabilitation care through the introduction of new organizational methods, new ways and means of rehabilitation. Knowledge of current trends of information Rehabilitation, of course, is a basis for determining further ways to improve the industry. Conventionally, there are three main areas of information technology in Rehabilitation: the automation of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques of medical information to support decision-making, telerehabilitation.The authors propose a new concept of rehabilitation. Its main differences are the three concepts: the rehabilitation program should be considered, ranging from inpatient treatment period, patient risk monitoring of the pathological process is the link that unites medical monitoring strategy and the impact on the patient, the need for analysis and standardization of variants of the rehabilitation period on the basis of principles of medical ontology. In the new coordinate system created becomes relevant issue is not the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease, and the mechanisms of the transition state of the body from illness to health.The paper also proposed the original division of the rehabilitation period, into 4 stages: clinical, sanatorium, residual, adaptation.Given that rehabilitation programs are individually designed for each patient, taking into account the general condition, the characteristics of the disease, the initial level of physical condition, the patient’s personality, age, gender, occupation, etc., they can be viewed as a project or pre-plan the system of measures.
