The aim of this study was to measure line segments and areas of sella turcica on lateral cephalograms with respect to the clinical diagnosis of facial phenotype of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Special attention was given to correlate the measured values with certain tumour types that are typical for this disease. Material and methods: Lateral cephalograms of 194 individuals wer...

The aim of this study is to examine the effects Dual task training versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on balance and cognition in geriatric population. There growing evidence involvement executive control maintenance older people. Balance considered as one risk factors for fall especially adults. effective way maintaining balance. PNF pattern exercise can activate joint sens...

Background Physiotherapy is a part of conservative scoliosis treatment [1]. Different theories, methods and exercises was proposed and used to date, but only a few of them was proved and recognized as effective. PNF is one of methods in physiotherapy used in orthopedic and neurological diseases [2]. PNF philosophy, threedimensional patterns, techniques, breathing and movement stimulation can be...

Elevated levels of lactic acid in the blood and muscles following intense training or competition can have detrimental effects on physical performance increase likelihood injury. Therefore, it is crucial to identify effective recovery techniques mitigate fatigue promptly. The objective this study was assess impact sports massage Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) method athletes. T...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the change in electromechanical reaction times (EMG-RT) of hip flexion of younger persons after neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) treatment. [Subjects] The subjects were 39 healthy young people, who were divided into two groups: a NJF group and a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) group. The NJF group consisted of 16 subjects ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the immediate effects of an intervention comprising proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) or neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) on chronic low back pain as assessed by the thickness of musculus transversus abdominis [Subjects] The subjects were 12 young people (five males, seven females) who had chronic low back pain on one side f...

Alcohol consumption is prevalent among college students and can become problematic for some. Numerous randomized controlled trials have evaluated the efficacy of individual preventive interventions in reducing alcohol use and alcohol-related problems in college student populations. Consistent with earlier reviews, the balance of the evidence from studies conducted during the past 3 years strong...

Ship detection using polarimetric synthetic radar (PolSAR) imagery attracts a lot of attention in recent years. Most notably, the detector notch filter (PNF) has been demonstrated to be effective for ship PolSAR imagery, which gives excellent performances. In this work, mathematical form one new PNF (NPNF) based on physical mechanisms targets and clutter is further developed partial targets. Th...

BACKGROUND: Plexiform neurofibromas (PNF) are benign tumors of the peripheral nerve which mostly develop in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Surgical interventions are usually not applied to children with small tumors. These are rather restricted to debulking of larger tumors in adults that cause clinical complications or aesthetic disfigurement. In most cases, a total resection of...
