This study aimed to assess whether gender and age influenced differences in some strength indices female male primary school students. A total of 105 students were sampled, 46 girls 59 boys. The muscle regions on which the tests applied were: lumbar region, lower limbs, upper abdominal region. performed subjects accordance with age-specific motor characteristics current curriculum, they as foll...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate endotracheal tube cuff pressure (Pcuff) alteration in patients under mechanical ventilation after changes in position. METHODS All selected patients were initially placed in the 35 degrees semi-Fowler position, with Pcuff adjusted to 20 mmHg, and randomly divided into two groups. Group A, in which patients were moved to the lateral decubi...

BACKGROUND The lateral decubitus position leads to the greatest changes in regional pulmonary ventilation and is used in respiratory physical therapy routines. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of the lateral decubitus position on the pulmonary deposition of inhaled radioaerosol particles in young people and report the effects of the decubitus position on routine therapy. METHODS Eight h...

Pressure ulcers (also known as bedsores or decubitus ulcers) are areas of localised injury to the skin and underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear forces. This type of ulcer is one of the most common complications in patients with spinal cord injury. Treatment with transcutaneous electrical stimulation, and with acupunctur...

conclusions spinal anesthesia in the sitting position is more associated with significant phdh than that in the left lateral decubitus position for patients undergoing elective caesarian section. background the most common method of anesthesia for cesarean section is spinal anesthesia, and postdural puncture headache (pdph) remains a major complication of this procedure. nowadays, pdph is a maj...

The objective of this observational and descriptive study was to identify the behavior of relative parameters related to pulmonary mechanics of critical patients undergoing mechanic ventilation, after the nursing staff performed the technical procedure of decubitus position change. The accessible population, by non-probabilistic sampling, consisted of nine critical patients undergoing mechanica...

Correction Following the publication of our article [1] an error in the case presentation section was noted. In the description of the lumbar puncture procedure, we incorrectly stated the units of the opening pressure. Upon lumbar puncture, performed in the lateral decubitus position, an opening pressure of 40 mm of water was documented. Should read: Upon lumbar puncture, performed in the later...
