The aim of the present study was to examine prevalence work-related musculoskeletal complaints and potential risk factors among Romanian surgeons. Ninety-five surgeons different specialties (62.11% males) completed a questionnaire about (WMSCs). Ninety-one (95.78%) experienced WMSCs at least in one body part last year. Most reported pain four parts (33.68%). most common were on lower back (74.73%), followed by neck region (55.79%), shoulder upper (46.32%), knee (31.58%), wrist-hand (16.84%),...

An observational study on 22 patients presenting with acute limb ischemia and SARS-CoV-2 infection, without any other embolic risk factors, was performed. All were classified according to Rutherford classification for ischemia. The primary goal of this assess the amputation in these after revascularization procedures. secondary find correlation between (ALI) severity, patient comorbidities, death, association infection. treated by open surgery (18 patients—81.81%) or means endovascular...

For elite athletes, monitoring body composition is important for maximizing performance without health risks. Amplitude (A)-mode ultrasound (AUS) has attracted increasing attention as an alternative to skinfold thickness measurements commonly used assessing the amount of fat in athletes. AUS accuracy and precision, however, depend on formula predict percentage (%BF) from subcutaneous layer thicknesses. Therefore, this study evaluates 1-point biceps (B1), 9-sites Parrillo, 3-sites Jackson...
