Abstract:

The modified Thomas test was developed to assess the presence of hip flexion contracture and to measure hip extensibility. Despite its widespread use, to the authors’ knowledge, its criterion reference validity has not yet been investigated. The purpose of this study was to assess the criterion reference validity of the modified Thomas test for measuring peak hip extension angle and hip extension deficits, as defined by the hip not being able to extend to 0º, or neutral. Twenty-nine healthy college students (age = 22.00 ± 3.80 years; height = 1.71 ± 0.09 m; body mass = 70.00 ± 15.60 kg) were r

This manuscript provides information on the test items and standards used to assess flexibility and range of motion in the Brockport Physical Fitness Test. Validity, attainability, and reliability of the back saver sit and reach, the shoulder stretch, the modified Apley test, the modified Thomas test, and the Target Stretch Test are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the utility of these tests for youngsters with mental retardation and mild limitations in fitness, visual impairments (blindness), cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, or congenital anomalies or amputations.

Abstract:

Context Goniometric assessment of hip-extension range of motion is a standard practice in clinical rehabilitation settings. A weakness of goniometric measures is that small errors in landmarking may result in substantial measurement error. A less commonly used protocol for measuring hip range of motion involves applying trigonometric principles to the length and vertical displacement of the upper part of the lower extremity to determine hip angle; however, the reliability of this measure has never been assessed using the modified Thomas test.

Background In clinical practice range of motion (RoM) is usually assessed with low-cost devices such as a tape measure (TM) or a digital inclinometer (DI). However, the intra- and inter-rater reliability of typical RoM tests differ, which impairs the evaluation of therapy progress. More objective and reliable kinematic data can be obtained with the inertial motion capture system (IMC) by Xsens. The aim of this study was to obtain the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the TM, DI and IMC methods in five RoM tests: modified Thomas test (DI), shoulder test modified after Janda (DI), retroflexi

The purpose of this study is to explore the theory and real-life manifestation of the forgiveness motives among employees with high and low stress levels. The target group of 20- to 30-year olds has been selected for the study because this life-period is considered particularly important in a human's life. It is a time of self-actualisation, starting a family, seeking stability and emotional balance. Few attempts to analyse the psychology of forgiveness in the working environment have so far been attempted in Latvia. The study aims to establish whether there exists a statistically significant

Abstract Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of using a vibration foam roll (VFR) or a non-vibration foam roll (NVFR) on maximum voluntary isometric contraction peak torque (MVIC), range of motion (ROM), passive resistive torque (PRT), and shear modulus. Methods Twenty-one male volunteers visited the laboratory on two separate days and were randomly assigned to either a VFR group or a NVFR group. Both interventions were performed for 3 × 1 min each. Before and after each intervention, passive resistive torque and maximum voluntary isometric contraction peak torque o

Abstract:

Millions of people across the globe suffer from health issues related to high fluoride levels in drinking water. The purpose of this study was to test modified pumice as an adsorbent for the purification of fluoride-containing waters. The adsorption of fluoride onto zirconium-coated pumice (Zr–Pu) adsorbent was examined in fixed-bed adsorption columns. The coating of zirconium on the surface of VPum was revealed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-EOS), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques.

Background:Enthesitis is an important feature of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and structural and inflammatory entheseal lesions (EL) are frequently present on ultrasound. Plain radiographs also provide good imaging of structural entheseal involvement1. Until now, little is known about the presence of structural EL at the hip and pelvic region and the association with patient characteristics in AS.Objectives:Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of radiographic EL at the hip and pelvic region in AS patients compared to age and sex matched control subjects and to explore the relation with AS

Abstract:

Background. Distorted development as a variety of psychological dysontogenesis (autism spectrum disorder, among others) can combine elements of general underdevelopment, delayed, damaged and accelerated development of single psychic functions, which brings in considerable difficulties in organizing the study of cognitive and personal features in such children and imposes a number of restrictions on the researcher. Thus the specific kind of personal sphere organization in children with the distorted type of psychological dysontogenesis with its multiple manifestations still remains a subject no

Antibody-directed therapies represent a novel strategy to improve survival rates. Approximately 50% of children diagnosed with B-ALL express CD20 on the blast surface, providing a potential therapeutic target.1 A recent study in Europe suggested one week pretreatment with corticosteroids resulted in an increase in CD20 expression, even in samples that were initially CD20 negative.2 This increased expression potentiated cytotoxicity by rituxim

Abstract:

Abstract CD19 is expressed broadly on the surface of B-cells during normal development and malignant growth, making it a good target for immunotherapy. While immunotherapies targeting CD19 have had great success against pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), relapses lacking the CD19 epitope still occur (Maude et al., 2014). We have discovered that alternative splicing of CD19, in particular the skipping of exon 2, is responsible for the loss of CD19 extracellular domains, causing resistance to therapy (Sotillo et al., 2015). Here we investigate the molecular mechanism of CD19

Alpelisib (ALP) is the first oral α-selective PI3K inhibitor and degrader approved in this patient (pt) population.

Abstract:

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) is a cytokine with potential to influence embryonic quality and proliferation within the inner cell mass (ICM). However, conflicting effects of LIF have been reported with in vitro-produced (IVP) bovine embryos, in spite of LIF receptor (LIFr) and gp130 transcripts being expressed at all stages during pre-implantation development (Niemann and Wrenzycki 2000 Theriogenology 53, 21–34). As there is no commercially available bovine LIF (bLIF), researchers have used human LIF (hLIF) because of its greater sequence homology compared to murine LIF (mLIF). However, mLI
