The present study investigated whether whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) procedures could potentially have more beneficial effects on index of BASDAI and BASFI, pain intensity, spine mobility parameters: Ott test, modified Schober chest expansion in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, than kinesiotherapy used separately. AS patients were exposed to a cycle WBC lasting 3 minutes day, with subsequent 60 or only, for 10 consecutive days excluding weekend. After the completion decreased about 40%...

Thermovision is a completely non-invasive and easy-to-perform method of imaging, it becoming useful not only in different modalities clinical medicine, but also sports medicine. However, seems that thermal imaging may find some use training. That why the aim these studies to compare temperature parameters with data obtained from specialist equipment, which uses monitoring choose organism during endurance test determine efficiency level. In this study, we try estimate body metabolism, using...

Background. Whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) is the therapeutic exposure of total human body (without underwear) to a very low temperature (below –100°C) for 120–180 s. Currently, WBC used more frequently not only in treatment patients suffering from various diseases, but also by healthy people as wellness method.Objectives. The aim this research evaluate impact procedures on oxidative stress parameters men.Material and Methods. study involved 32 male subjects who were randomly divided into...

Objective measurement wound surface an important element in process monitoring and predicting progress treatment.Objectives. The aim study was evaluate effect therapy (HBOT) on ulcer healing patients with venous insufficiency ulcers diabetic foot syndrome using thermal imaging computerized planimetry.Material Methods. During a 3-year period, 284 digital computer planimetry measurements were gathered from...

Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine whether the EPID detector can serve as an effective tool for interfractional dose control. Accurate radiotherapy delivery is vital successful treatment, prompting advancements in dosimetry methods, particularly dynamic techniques. Linear accelerators use kilovoltage and megavoltage X-rays verify patient positioning, a standard practice essential minimizing geometric dosimetric errors. While integrated imaging systems typically...

Abstract Introduction: The primary goal of head and neck cancer surgery is the restoration vital functions. To achieve this, after tumor ablation, lost tissues are reconstructed using free flaps (FF) or pedicled simultaneously. Many objective monitoring techniques flap perfusion have been explored, but none them has recognized as gold standard. aim this study was to determine feasibility infrared thermography (IRT) assess viability FF in reconstructive surgery. Material Methods: 14...

ózgowe porażenie dziecięce (MPD) to niepostępujące, lecz trwałe zaburzenie ruchu i postawy wynikające z uszkodzenia mózgu na wczesnym etapie jego rozwoju, tj. w okresie prenatalnym, okołoporodowym lub we dzieciństwie. Z uwagi dominujące objawy występuje różnych postaciach. Elektromiografia (EMG) jest badaniem diagnostycznym oceniającym aktywność elektryczną układu nerwowo-mięśniowego. Służy do wykrywania zaburzeń funkcjonowaniu nerwowo- mięśniowego. Termografia podczerwieni metodą...

The primary aim of the study was to assess levels oxidative stress markers, soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), and placental growth factor (PlGF) as well carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) active phase without concomitant classical cardiovascular risk factors.The observational involved 96 male subjects: 48 AS healthy ones, who did not differ significantly regarding age, BMI, comorbid disorders,...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect toothpaste containing natural tea tree essential oil (TTO) and ethanolic extract propolis (EEP), on microflora selected indicators oral health in patients using removable acrylic partial dentures. Fifty with varying conditions hygiene were divided into two groups. group received TTO EEP, while control same but without EEP. At first visit, prostheses carried out. Control visits took place 7 28 days later compared baseline. Indexes like API...

This paper is intended to provide studies performed on usefulness of thermal imaging for the insufficiency superficial veins in lower limbs. The results are a continuation previous research and show new way analysis better correlation between standard methods parameters like duplex ultrasonography derived from imaging. In particular promised seems be using mean whole limb temperature healthy volunteers at proper age as threshold count isotherm area, should taken limb—the sum images anterior...

Objective . The aim of the study was to estimate impact whole body cryotherapy (WBC) on oxidative stress when performed in a closed cryochamber patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Material and methods effect ten WBC procedures lasting 3 minutes day subsequent 60‐minute session kinesiotherapy male AS (WBC group n = 16) investigated. To assess disease activity, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Diseases Activity Index (BASDAI) Functional (BASFI) were calculated. compared only (KT; group....

Abstract At the beginning, applications of thermal imaging in dentistry were focused mostly on assessment effects during filling cavities, laser treatment and inflammation periodontal tissues. The biggest problem was limiting access rapid change humidity when mouth opens measurements. However, nowadays map body surface is correlated with inflammatory state changing inner mouth. aim this study to assess suitability localize monitor after surgical removal third retained molar teeth. cohort...

Background: The aim of the study was to assess effect whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) with subsequent exercise training (WBC group) or exercise-only (ET on endothelium inflammation parameters in patients ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
