POSTURAL REEDUCATION IN HYPOTENSION DIAPHRAGM - A CASE STUDY
Zaburzenia posturalne obserwowane w pracy fizjoterapeut贸w g艂贸wnie kojarzone s膮 z dysfunkcjami narz膮du ruchu. Niejednokrotnie prowadzona terapia nie przynosi oczekiwanych efekt贸w dotycz膮cych wyeliminowania wszystkich objaw贸w zg艂aszanych przez pacjent贸w. Okoliczno艣膰 ta zmusza terapeut贸w do poszukiwania innej przyczyny dolegliwo艣ci chorego. Praca z pacjentem z dysfunkcj膮 przepony objawiaj膮c膮 si臋 jej hipotoni膮 oraz towarzysz膮cymi objawami niejednokrotnie mo偶e wydawa膰 si臋 niezwykle trudna. Zwi膮zane jest to z problematyczn膮 diagnostyk膮 nak艂adaj膮cych si臋 dolegliwo艣ci. Cel pracy: Celem niniejszej pracy jest ukazanie mo偶liwo艣ci post臋powania fizjoterapeutycznego polegaj膮cego na skojarzeniu wielu metod stosowanych w rehabilitacji, maj膮cych za zadanie usprawnienie terapii pacjenta z hipotoni膮 przepony. Opis przypadku: 28-letni m臋偶czyzna skar偶膮cy si臋 na dolegliwo艣ci uk艂adu pokarmowego i oddechowego z dodatkowymi objawami takimi jak: brak regularnego snu, przyspieszony oddech oraz b贸l w okolicy karku i odcinka piersiowego kr臋gos艂upa promieniuj膮cy w stron臋 偶eber, zosta艂 poddany diagnostyce fizjoterapeutycznej. W opisywanym przypadku zastosowano elementy reedukacji wzorca oddechowego, terapii manualnej, terapii punkt贸w spustowych, masa偶u powi臋ziowego, poizometrycznej relaksacji mi臋艣ni, kinesiologytapingu oraz treningu funkcjonalnego w celu normalizacji napi臋cia oraz uwolnienia pracy przepony i 偶eber, zmniejszenia zg艂aszanych dolegliwo艣ci b贸lowych kr臋gos艂upa, reedukacji posturalnej, stabilizacji obr臋czy brakowej i odtworzenia prawid艂owych wzorc贸w ruchowych 艂opatki i ko艅czyny g贸rnej oraz utrwalenia osi膮gni臋tych efekt贸w i zapobiegania nawracaniu dolegliwo艣ci. Wnioski: Wykorzystanie wielu metod fizjoterapeutycznych przynios艂o wymierny efekt oraz spowodowa艂o znaczne ograniczenie zg艂aszanych dolegliwo艣ci. Odnotowano znacz膮c膮 popraw臋 stanu zdrowia i wydolno艣ci fizycznej pacjenta.Postural disorders observed in the work of physiotherapists are associate with dysfunctions of the locomotory organ. Most of the therapy does not bring the expected effects of eliminating all symptoms reported by patients. This circumstance makes therapists to look for another cause of the patient dysfunction. Conducting a patient with hypotension diaphragm and accompanying symptoms may often appear to be extremely difficult. This is related to the problematic diagnosis of overlapping complaints. Aim of the study: The aim of this paper is to present the possibility of physiotherapeutic treatment combining many methods used in rehabilitation aimed at improving the effectiveness of the patient's therapy. Case report: 28-year-old man complaining of digestive and respiratory ailments with additional symptoms such as lack of regular sleep, rapid breathing and pain in the neck and thoracic spine radiating towards the ribs, underwent physiotherapy diagnosis. In this case, improvement of respiratory pattern, manual therapy, trigger points therapy, fascial massage, postisometric muscle relaxation, kinesiologytaping and functional training were used to ease the tension and release the diaphragm and ribs. It also aimed to reduce spinal pain, postural reeducation, reconstruction of the correct movement patterns of the scapula and upper limb and fixing the achieved effects to prevent the recovery of the ailments. Conclusion: The use of many physiotherapeutic methods has resulted in measurable effect and caused a significant reduction of reported complaints. Significant improvement in the patient's health and physical efficiency was noted
The role of uropathogenic Escherichia coli adhesive molecules in inflammatory response- comparative study on immunocompetent hosts and kidney recipients.
BackgroundUrinary tract infections (UTI) represent one of the most common contagious diseases in humans. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains are recognized as the most frequent causative agent, and these express a range of virulence factors including the adhesins. Immune response to UPEC under immunosuppression has not been fully understood yet. Interleukin 1尾 (IL1尾), 6 (IL6) and 17 (IL17) represent clinically relevant markers of inflammation.AimThe study aimed to investigate the interplay between UPEC genotype and hosts' immune status in shaping local inflammatory response in the course of an UTI episode. The respective numbers of: 18 kidney recipients with UPEC UTI, 28 immunocompetent hosts with UPEC UTI and 29 healthy controls were involved. Urine IL1尾, IL6, and IL17/creatinine ratios in relation to fimH, csgA, papC, tosA, and flu genes presence in UPEC isolated from the urine samples were analyzed. Apart from traditional statistics, also machine learning algorithms were applied.ResultsThe urine levels of IL1尾 and IL 6 were similar in kidney recipients and the immunocompetent hosts. IL1尾 levels were higher in both kidney recipients and immunocompetent hosts than in controls, while IL6 levels were higher only in immunocompetent hosts than in controls. In the machine learning classification model, high urine IL17 levels were significantly more prevalent in controls, while low IL17 levels in urines infected with Ag43-positive UPEC strains, regardless of the host's immune status. In the traditional statistical analysis, IL17 levels appeared significantly higher in urine samples from kidney recipients infected with Ag43-negative UPEC strains.ConclusionsIn the UTI- affected patients, the combination of the immune status of an individual and Ag43 status of the UPEC strain determined urine IL17 level in the analyzed group. However, IL17 levels above median were overall more prevalent in controls
