OBJECTIVES To determine whether coping profile changes after rehabilitation, assessed with the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI), can predict which persons disabled by chronic musculoskeletal pain will be in receipt of sick leave benefits in the long term. METHODS Study of MPI data from 2,784 patients (709 men and 2,075 women) collected from the Swedish Quality Register for Pain Rehabilit...

Introduction: The aim of the present study is to analyze correlation between people that suffer from chronic ankle instability and muscle strength deficits proximal joints lower limb, which are hip knee. Methods: narrative review was conducted on MEDLINE using selected keywords build search string. After inclusion exclusion criteria were applied, articles independently screened by two authors r...

Problem statement: Wired broadband Internet access can be realized using various technologies, configurations and protocols. It is widely deployed and able to provide both high data rates and high reliability. These features are of strong importance for many advanced applications. Since the number of broadband subscribers worldwide grows exponentially, the power efficiency of access networks be...

Objectives: Thyroid benign (TBN) and malignant (TMN) nodules are a common thyroid lesion. The differentiation of TMN often remains clinical challenge further improvements diagnostic accuracy warranted. aim present study was to evaluate possibilities using differences in chemical elements (ChEs) contents nodular tissue for diagnosis malignancy. Methods: Contents nineteen ChEs including aluminum ...

Blue copper proteins (Type I) exhibit unusual spectral and chemical properties such as higher reduction potentials and small hyperfine coupling constants A|| in the EPR spectrum in comparison with other copper(II) complexes. Such unusual properties are justified partly by the tetralhedral geometry around the copper(II) site and partly by the CuN2S2 chromophores in which the soft S atoms coordin...

Dr. Gert Schulze was born in Dresden. He studied human medicine at the Free University of Berlin in West Berlin, graduating with a doctorate on June 23rd 1972 with a thesis entitled “Investigations on the impact of 6-aminonicotinamide upon monoaminergic mechanisms in the rat brain and body temperature of rats”. His advisor was Professor Helmut Coper who had been appointed founding director of t...

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is often debilitating and may be affected by a number of intrinsic and environmental factors. Alterations in neurocognitive function and attention may contribute to repetitive injury in those with CAI and influence postural control strategies. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine if there was a difference in attentional functioning and static postural...

BACKGROUND Chronic ankle instability has been associated with altered joint kinematics at the ankle, knee and hip. However, no studies have investigated possible kinematic deviations at more distal segments of the foot. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if subjects with ankle instability and copers show altered foot and ankle kinematics and altered kinetics during a landing task when co...
