No full textAbstract This study aimed to quantitatively analyze subchondral vascularization during the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in the elderly, particularly regarding the timing of initial blood vessel emergence and when their density peaks. A total of 129 independent areas from 43 human femoral heads, obtained through arthroplasty for OA or hemiarthroplasty for fractures, were analyzed. The femoral heads were grouped by Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grades: KL 1 (6 heads), KL 2 (14 heads), KL 3 (10 heads), and KL 4 (13 heads), and the Mankin score was assessed. Quantitative measurements of blood vessel length 1 mm below the tidemark, cartilage volume and thickness, chondrocyte volume, ECM volume, subchondral bone volume, and bone marrow volume were performed using stereology and immunohistochemistry. The most substantial increase in the characteristics of blood vessels within the subchondral region began at KL 3 and peaked at KL 4. Blood vessel volume increased from 6.71 ± 5.84 mm 3 in group KL 1 to 156.21 ± 138.67 mm 3 in group KL 4 ( p < 0.001). Blood vessel surface area showed an increase from 14.78 ± 9.89 cm 2 (group KL 1) to 125.20 ± 93.18 cm 2 (group KL 4) ( p < 0.001). Likewise, blood vessel length grew from 27.53 m (IQR 13.70–65.41 m) in group KL 1 to 112.03 ± 76.07 m in group KL 4 ( p = 0.001). This study offers deeper insights into the role of vascularization in OA pathophysiology, quantifying subchondral blood vessel characteristics in the femoral head across different OA stages.Traumastiftung GmbHMedizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH

Case Study of Physiotherapy Treatment of a Patient with the Diagnosis Shoulder Luxation
No full textTitle: Case Study of Physiotherapy Treatment of a Patient with the Diagnosis Shoulder Luxation Název: Kazuistika fyzioterapeutické péče o pacienta s diagnózou luxace ramenního kloubu Author: Emmanouil Kassakis This bachelor thesis is divided into two parts, the general part and the special part. In the general part, it is included all the theoretical information about my patient's diagnosis. Specifically, the theoretical part is composed by the basic anatomy of the shoulder joint including muscles, joint, ligaments and bones. Then the biomechanical and kinesiological field. Furthermore, it is explained in details how the shoulder luxation injury is it possible to happen. Secondly, the special part which is the most important part of the bachelor thesis, it is composed by the whole information, examinations, therapy sessions and results of my patient. It is explained in details and in pictures of the patient during her therapy sessions as well. There were performed to the patient about 7 therapies sessions. Starting from Wednesday 5 February 2014 and ending on Friday 14 February 2014. Each therapy session is explained in details including the procedure and the results as well. Key words: shoulder, shoulder luxation, conservative treatment, shoulder girdle, range of motion, exercise. Powered by TCPDF..
Case study of Physical Therapy approach of patient with Anterior. Cruciate Ligament rupture after traumatic injury in skiing
No full textTitle: Physical Therapy program in a patient with total rupture of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and partial rupture of Medial Collateral Ligament of the right knee joint after ski accident. Název bakalářské práce: Author: Emmanouil Tsichlakis The current Bachelor Thesis is divided into two parts, theoritical and practical one. In the theoritical part an overview of the general anatomy of the knee joint and the biomechanics of the knee ligaments are presented. Also the mechanisms of the injury of Anterior Cruciate Ligament, the clinical examination that follows, the symptomes that correspond in this injury and the conservative therapeutic approach are discused. The second part contains a detailed description of the case study of the patient, the examination tests and the rehabilitation program I perforfed to the patient and also the evaluation of the results of the therapy. Key worlds: Physical Therapy, knee joint, Anterior Cruciate Ligament, rupture, conservative, skiing Dates of practice: 16/1/2012 - 1/2/2012 Location of practice: Ústřední vojenská nemocnice Praha 1200/1, 162 00 Praha
