Background/Aims: Using traditional white athletic tape and kinesiotaping are two of the most popular strategies to prevent ankle sprains, presumably through enhancement proprioception. However, influence these methods on postural control needs further investigation. This within-subject crossover study set out compare effects taping immediately after application a 20-minute period running. Methods: Fifteen healthy participants (6 females 9 males; mean±SD age=19.87± 2.67 years, weight=66.21±...
Context: Bell's palsy (BP) is an idiopathic, acute peripheral-nerve involving the facial nerve.BP patients usually present muscular hypotonia, altering expression.These changes can lead to functional insufficiencies and psychological changes.Electrical stimulation (ES) help prevent muscle atrophy, as well promote tissue healing, contributing recovery from paralysis.Objective: Review effectiveness of application ES in treatment BP.Data Sources: The search was carried out PubMed databases,...

Biofilm in chronic wound is an important public health problem several countries due its delayed healing and ineffective local treatment. Several treatments are employed to inhibit bacterial growth, among which polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) stands out. PHMB widely known for antibacterial properties through mechanisms that include the interaction of this compound with cell walls DNA. However, there conflicting data regarding activity eradicating mature biofilm. The purpose study was...
