The effectiveness of Schroth method in Cobb angle, quality of life and trunk rotation angle in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The Schroth method is one of the most common physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises intervention applied in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). This method consists of three-dimensional correction of the specific curve pattern of the patient using a combination of sensorimotor, postural, and corrective breathing exercises. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyse the effects of the Schroth method in isolation on Cobb angle, quality of life, and trunk rotation angle compared to no intervention or other conservative treatments in patients with AIS

Malignant hypertension and thrombopenia in renal transplant after switching from sirolimus to tacrolimus

Presentamos un caso clínico, hasta ahora no descrito, de paciente trasplantado renal que desarrolla hipertensión arterial maligna tras el cambio de sirolimus por tacrolimus. Además presentó trombopenia y anemia que como primera orientación podrían hacer pensar en un síndrome hemolítico urémico, pero la evolución del caso confirmó que todo fue debido a la hipertensión maligna.We report a case, undescribed until now, of a renal transplant patient who developed a malignant hypertension after change sirolimus by tacrolimus. Also presented thrombocytopenia and anemia as a first orientation could suggest a hemolytic uremic síndrome, but subsequent events confirmed that everythins was due to malignant hypertension

Clinical and psychological variables in female patients with cervical syndromes: A cross-sectional and correlational study

Producción CientíficaBackground: The objectives of this study were: (1) to compare the pain intensity, cervical range of motion (ROM), psychological distress and kinesiophobia in patients with cervicogenic dizziness (CGD), tension-type headache (TTH), and mechanical chronic neck pain (MCNP); and (2) to investigate the relationships between pain intensity and cervical ROM and between psychological distress and kinesiophobia. Methods: a cross-sectional and correlational study was designed. In total, 109 patients (32 patients with CGD, 33 with TTH and 44 with MCNP) were included. Pain intensity, cervical ROM, psychological distress and kinesiophobia were assessed. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the groups in pain intensity, psychological distress and kinesiophobia. The patients with MCNP showed higher pain intensity compared to the other groups (p 0.05). The CGD and MCNP groups found a moderate positive correlation between psychological distress and kinesiophobia (p < 0.05). The patients with TTH and MCNP showed a moderate positive correlation between pain intensity, psychological distress and kinesiophobia (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Pain intensity, psychological distress and kinesiophobia should be considered in the three groups. Psychological distress was correlated with kinesiophobia in the CGD and MCNP groups. The MCNP group showed a correlation between pain intensity, psychological distress and kinesiophobia

Social modernization of Spanish old age

En este artículo se reflexiona sobre un aspecto que suele pasar desapercibido en los análisis sociológicos sobre destradicionalización y cambio social: el relevante papel que en este proceso desempeñan las personas mayores, quienes están abandonando actitudes y comportamientos muy arraigados en la sociedad española y desarrollando, en su lugar, formas de pensar y actuar plenamente modernas. Esta tendencia se refleja bien en sus estilos de vida. Aplicando una estrategia metodológica plural (análisis de datos secundarios y grupos de discusión), vincularemos el auge de los hogares unipersonales con la modernización social producida en el mundo occidental y de la que participan, no solo la población juvenil y adulta, sino también la longeva. La expansión de la vida en solitario obedece al reclamo de autonomía de unos individuos, los de edad avanzada, decididos como nunca a gestionar su destino y a evitar delegar en nadie la determinación del cómo vivir.This paper tackles an issue somehow overlooked in sociological analysis of detraditionalization and social change: namely, the important role played by older persons in both processes. Older persons are leaving attitudes and behaviors deeply rooted in traditional Spanish society; moreover, they are developing completely modern ways of thinking and doing, as it is reflected in their life styles. Through a mixed methodological strategy —including secondary data analysis and focus groups—, we argue that the growing number of unipersonal homes linked to social modernization in the Western world affects not only to youth and adults but to elder headed homes too. More and more older persons decide to live alone because they claim greater autonomy and they are committed as never before to manage their own destiny and to avoid that anyone else decides on their behalf how they should live their lives
