Sedentary behavior as a public health issue: Ergonomics as a useful tool
No full textBackground: Sedentary behavior carries the risk of musculoskeletal problems, especially in the lumbosacral region of the spinal column. According to modern lifestyle, this has begun to be a public health issue.
Objective: To point to the health risks of working at the computer and present an ergonomic analysis of the typical and improved position of workers in front of the computer, thereby reducing the chances of emergence occupational diseases.
Results: Changing the position of the subjects led to a change in lumbar pressure from 2,818 N/m2 to 351 N/m2. Software analysis of the changed position indicates that this position is acceptable, both for the lumbosacral region of the spine and for the abdominal muscles.
Conclusions: A change in body position will decrease lumbar moment and the load on the lumbosacral region of the spine. Work chair with lumbar support, the right desk height, setting the appropriate position of the monitor, selecting the optimal keyboard and mouse, dividing the workspace into appropriate zones, as well as changing lifestyle and habits should be part of the management of people who spend most of their working time in a sitting position

No full textBackground: The aim of the article was to define etiological factors for the occurrence of thromboembolism venous and arterial segments and preview of the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic procedures in the treatment algorithm. Patients and Methods: The study included 60 patients during the 4-year period. The patients are classified into two groups according to the type of thromboembolism, in the group under the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism and group under the diagnosis of arterial thromboembolism. Results: Statistical analysis showed that arterial thromboembolisms occurred statistically significant later in comparison to venous (t = 4.0969; P = 0.0001). The mortality relationship with all analyzed parameters (age, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, platelets, gender, D-dimer, fibrinogen, immobility, veins surgery, pregnancy, smoking, orthopedic trauma, neoplasms, and pulmonary embolism) showed that statistically significant association was observed only in the case of pulmonary embolism. Conclusion: Biochemical parameters of the blood of patients; red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, and platelet counts in the study conducted showed a positive relationship with the occurrence of venous thromboembolism while D-dimer and fibrinogen present in increased values in most patients with venous and arterial thromboembolism. Pulmonary embolism directly affects the outcome of patients with thromboembolic diseases taking into account that in the study conducted in venous thrombosis complicated pulmonary embolism resulted in deaths
