THE APPLICATION OF KINESIOTAPE IN THROMBOLIZED PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC STROKE
Get PDFThe aim of the study was to investigate and compare different kinesitherapy techniques and their impact on the recovery of patients with ischemic stroke. Also, to investigate the effect of kinesiotaping on thrombolized patients.
Materials and Methods. The study was conducted in 2014-2015 at the General Hospital for Treatment in Blagoevgrad - Neurology Department. The study contingent consisted of 20 patients, 10 of whom had an ischemic stroke and underwent venous thrombolysis (experimental group). In the other ten patients, no innovation was applied (control group).
Results and analysis: In patients with a brain accident, the muscles in the affected limbs are hypotonic. From a kinesitherapeutic point of view, it is very important in the hospital setting not to allow a pathological increase in muscle tone without a precondition for spasticity in the muscles and subsequent contracture. In our study, we examined the change in muscle tone using the Ashworth test. All patients were tested on the day of hospitalization, on the 5th day and on the 7th day (the day of hospitalization), on the 30th day.
Discussion. Kinesio tape provides maintenance of the affected muscles and causes significant proprioceptive irritation, which helps to restore the existing motor deficit.
Conclusion. We believe that the choice of methodology is extremely difficult due to the colorful clinical picture and the general condition of the patient. The combination of different methods could help the patient recover faster
Avaliação da presença de guia de desoclusão lateral e protrusiva da mandíbula
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia, Florianópolis, 2014.Neste estudo avaliou-se a presença de guias de lateralidade e protrusão em alunos do curso de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Participaram da pesquisa, 187 voluntários, com idade média de 22 anos, de ambos os sexos. Os mesmos foram submetidos a questionamentos sobre tratamento ortodôntico prévio e disfunção têmporo-mandibular, ausência e/ou agenesia dentária, bem como foram submetidos ao exame clínico por um operador calibrado para observar a presença ou ausência das guias citadas, tanto do lado direito como do lado esquerdo. Os indivíduos foram classificados como guia de desoclusão oclusal do tipo canina, em grupo ou em outro tipo de guia. Do lado direito, possuíam guia em canino 43,3%; guia em grupo apenas 4,8% e o restante possuíam um outro dente como guia (41,2%). Já do lado esquerdo, 51,8% apresentavam guia em canino; 0,5% em grupo e o restante tinham outro dente como guia (34,8%). Guia lateral canina bilateral foi presente em 40,1%. Em relação à presença de guia anterior, 60,4% dos participantes a possuíam e esta obteve uma forte associação com a prévia realização de tratamento ortodôntico (pAbstract : In this study evaluated the presence of lateral and protrusive guidance in Dentistry students, from Federal University of Santa Catarina. The research involved 187 volunteers with an average age of 22 years, both gender. They were questioned about temporomandibular dysfunction and previous orthodontic treatment, absence and / or dental agenesis, and also underwent a clinical examination by a calibrated operator to observe the presence or absence of guidance, at both sides. The subjects were classified by their guidance occlusal protection type as canine, group or other type of guide . At the right side, canine guidance acquired 43,3%; guide group only 4,8% and another tooth as a guidance 41,2%. At the left side were found 51,8% with canine guidance , 0,5% group and another type of guide obtained 34,8%. Bilateral canine guidance was present in 40,1%. Regarding the presence of anterior guidance, 60,4% of participants leading a strong association with the prior execution of orthodontic treatment (p< 0,006) . No other association was found with types of orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular disorders, except for the presence of in the left canine guidance and make come true orthodontic treatment, which obtained a weak association (p<0,038 %). In addition, there was association between female gender and existence of any condition of dysfunction. Thus, there was no correlation between any type of guide and problems for patient, as well as presence of many different guides types in most of people surveyed

THE EFFECT OF KINESIOTAPE IN THE LOWER LIMB AREA ON IMPROVING LOCOMOTION IN PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC STROKE
Get PDFThe aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Kinesiotape in the lower limb area on improving locomotion in patients with ischemic stroke.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the period 2014-2015 at the General Hospital for Active Treatment in Blagoevgrad. Forty patients were studied, divided into two groups of 20 patients - experimental (EG) and control group (KG). In addition, we have applied а standard kinesitherapy program in the two studied groups, in the experimental group, 3 kinesiotape tapes with a specific application "I" shape and a specialized method of application in the field of the foot and m. gluteus maximuswere placed. The results were compared with the results of the patients from the control group and processed with descriptive statistics, as well as non-parametric tests to prove statistically significant differences.
Results: After research and analysis, we obtained faster recovery of locomotion in the experimental group and slowing of locomotor movements in the control group (Wilcoxon, ANOVA).
Conclusion: The results of our research show that the application of the author's methodology with kinesiotape creates an opportunity to improve the functions in the damaged lower limb, improves locomotion and quality of life
Carlos Trilnick: An Argentine Electronic Image-Processing Pioneer
No full textThe author analyzes three 1980s video works by Argentinian pioneer artist Carlos Trilnick (1957-2020), whose insubordinate interventions with image-processing tools served the purpose of a reflection upon time, challenging traditional narratives of sequentiality, segmentation, and cause-effect linearity. These video works display a virtuous interconnection of art and technology, built upon a solid political perspective on audiovisual representation, art history, and territorial disputes. Acknowledging the work of this artist contributes to the expansion of global dialogues about the use of image-processing tools, incorporating Latin America into traditional narratives dominated by Europe-US exchanges.Fil: Cantú, Mariela Elisa.

The child was waiting for us’: The integration of children in adoptive families in Argentina, legitimate connections.
Get PDFActualmente en la Argentina muchas familias se conforman mediante la adopción de niños y niñas. Estas relaciones son expresadas en un lenguaje de parentesco a través de sentidos, valoraciones y prácticas concretas que van modificándose a lo largo del tiempo. Aquí nos interrogamos por los procesos a través de los cuales se incorpora al niño o niña al nuevo grupo de parentesco, a partir del trabajo de campo con sujetos adultos que han adoptado a menores durante la última década en Buenos Aires. Exploramos sus relatos en torno al “encuentro” con el hijo o hija adoptivo, las nociones de pertenencia y la construcción de sus vínculos familiares “pasados”. Sugerimos líneas de contacto con estudios etnográficos en otros contextos y a su vez proponemos tensiones y connotaciones locales para la intención de estas familias de dotar sus conexiones de legitimidad y “veracidad”.: Currently in Argentina many families are formed through the adoption of children. These relationships are expressed in a parenting language involving meanings, values, and specific practices that are modified over time. The author enquires about the processes through which the child is incorporated into the new family group, using information taken from fieldwork with couples that have adopted children during the last decade in Buenos Aires. This article explores their stories related to the “meeting” the adoptive child, the concepts of belonging and the understanding of their “past” family ties. The author concludes that there are certain similarities with ethnographic studies in other contexts and, at the same time, proposes tensions and local connotations regarding the purpose of these families in providing their connections with legitimacy and “veracity”.Fil: Pena, Mariela.

o jornalismo do autor 2.0 na construção de novos subjetivos
Get PDFFil: Parisi, Mariela. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales; Argentina.A partir de la década del ´90 la industria mediática argentina fue impactada por las tecnologías digitales que modificaron las comunicaciones, generaron nuevos procesos de producción, circulación y consumo de la información y se fue transformando la manera en que se establece el encuentro de los periodistas con los públicos. Este estudio exploratorio se enmarca en las investigaciones relativas al Análisis del Discurso, desde un recorte específico: la producción discursiva que periodistas cordobeses realizan a través de sus blogs o sitios web personales, práctica que se enmarca en un nuevo género que hemos definido como "periodismo de autor 2.0". Nos interesa particularmente comprender el modo en que los periodistas, legitimados en el prestigio previo como tales y en la producción discursiva en los blogs, constituyen sus identidades digitales. En este sentido, pensamos que, en la posición de enunciador ocupada por el periodista, restablecer el nombre propio supone actualizar la confianza que fueron perdiendo con sus lectores, tanto por los condicionamientos y censuras veladas como por la misma crisis de representación de los medios hegemónicos. Pero también, el blog puede funcionar como amplificador del yo periodista forjado en los medios tradicionales, como una vidriera donde proyectar una imagen en la que puedan identificarse los nuevos consumidores de medios en Internet.From the 1990s, the Argentine media industry was impacted by digital technologies that modified communications, generated new processes of production, circulation and consumption of information and the way in which the meeting of journalists was established was transformed. with the public This exploratory study is framed in the investigations related to the Speech Analysis, from a specific cut: the discursive production that Cordovan journalists carry out through their blogs or personal websites, a practice that is framed in a new genre that we have defined as "journalism of author 2.0”.
We are particularly interested in understanding the way in which journalists, legitimized in previous prestige as such and in discursive production in blogs, constitute their digital identities. In this sense, we think that, in the position of enunciator occupied by the journalist, restoring the proper name implies updating the confidence that they were losing with their readers, both because of the veiled conditions and censures and the same crisis of representation of the hegemonic media. But also, the blog can function as an amplifier of the journalist self-forged in traditional media, such as a stained glass window where to project an image in which new media consumers can be identified on the Internet.https://www.alaic.org/site/congreso-alaic-2020/Fil: Parisi, Mariela.
