THE UTILIZATION OF THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES IN THE REHABILITATION OF ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS
No full textSmrznuto rame klinički se naziva adhezivnim kapsulitisom. Ovo je stanje nepoznate etiologije koju karakterizira postupno progresivno, bolno ograničenje svih pokreta zglobova uz spontanu obnovu djelomičnog ili potpunog opsega pokreta kroz vremenski period. Smrznuto rame pogađa od 2% do 5% opće populacije kao posljedica kronične upale kapsularnog subsinovijalnog sloja koje dovodi do zadebljanja, fibroze, kontrakture i gubitka normalnog aksilarnog recesusa. Može se klasificirati kao primarni (idiopatski) ili sekundarni koji se dijeli i na unutarnje, vanjske i sustavne kategorije. Smrznuto se rame može podijeliti u tri faze, a simptomi ovog stanja su bol u ramenom zglobu pri pokretu ili bol tijekom spavanja praćena ukočenošću i smanjenim opsegom pokreta, ali i ograničen opseg pokreta osobito vanjske rotacije. Stanje se manifestira kroz progresivni gubitak glenohumeralnih kretnji popraćeno boli. Dijagnoza se temelji na povijesti bolesti i fizikalnom pregledu te na isključenju ostalih dijagnoza. Općenito konzervativno liječenje sastoji se od fizikalne terapije, tjelovježbe, nesteroidnih protuupalnih lijekova i intraartikularnih injekcija steroida. Interventni zahvati uključuju hidrauličku distenziju i manipulaciju pod anestezijom, a kirurški zahvati uključuju artroskopsko oslobađanje kapsule i otvorenu kapsulotomiju. Terapijsko vježbanje je sustavno izvođenje ili izvršavanje planiranih tjelesnih pokreta, položaja ili aktivnosti namijenjene saniranju ili sprječavanju oštećenja, poboljšanju funkcionalnosti, smanjenju rizika, optimizaciji tjelesnog sustava te poboljšanju kondicije. Terapijske vježbe sastavni su dio fizikalne terapije koje se često koriste u kliničkoj praksi za liječenje bolnih stanja ramena, a osmišljeni su od strane rehabilitacijskih stručnjaka kako bi se postigli specifični mjerljivi ishodi. Usmjerene su na uspostavljanje normalne kinematike poboljšanjem mišićne aktivnosti, snage, fleksibilnosti i ravnoteže u mišićima.Frozen shoulder is clinically called adhesive capsulitis. This is a condition of unknown etiology characterized by gradually progressive, painful limitation of all joint movements with spontaneous restoration of partial or full range of motion over a period of time. Frozen shoulder affects 2% to 5% of the general population as a result of chronic inflammation of the capsular subsynovial layer leading to thickening, fibrosis, contracture, and loss of the normal axillary recess. It can be classified as primary (idiopathic) or secondary which is also divided into internal, external and systemic categories. Frozen shoulder can be divided into three phases, and the symptoms of this condition are pain in the shoulder joint when moving or pain during sleep, accompanied by stiffness and reduced range of motion, but also limited range of motion, especially external rotation. The condition manifests itself through a progressive loss of glenohumeral movements accompanied by pain. The diagnosis is based on medical history and physical examination and on the exclusion of other diagnoses. General conservative treatment consists of physical therapy, exercise, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and intra-articular steroid injections. Interventional procedures include hydraulic distension and manipulation under anesthesia, and surgical procedures include arthroscopic capsule release and open capsulotomy. Therapeutic exercise is the systematic performance or execution of planned body movements, positions or activities intended to repair or prevent damage, improve functionality, reduce risk, optimize the body system and improve fitness. Therapeutic exercises are an integral part of physical therapy often used in clinical practice to treat painful conditions of the shoulder, and are designed by rehabilitation professionals to achieve specific measurable outcomes. They are aimed at establishing normal kinematics by improving muscle activity, strength, flexibility and balance in the muscles

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
