Filter by:Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PPS) is common in athletes, especially when performing jumps. To reduce pain and improve functionality, orthoses such as the infrapatellar strip (IPS) and functional bandage (FB) are indicated, but their effects are controversial. The objective is to evaluate the effect of IPS and FB on lower limb pain, agility, balance and strength in athletes with PPS. Will be evaluated 25 athletes with PPS (10 women and 15 men), who will answer the sample characterization questionnaires, pain scale and performed the Side Hope Test (SHT), modified star excursion balance test (SEBTm) and Sit to Stand 30 in seconds (STS30 ") to analyze lower limb agility, balance and strength, respectively. Three repetitions of each functional test will be performed, with an interval of one minute between repetitions and tests. Still, the tests will be developed with IPS, with FB and without any orthosis, with previously randomized sequence. Expected to establish the effects of IPS and FB for athletes with PPS.

Para-athletes are submitted and intense efforts in training and competitions that often overlap in days and weeks. In this sense, and in the search for better brands and indexes, it is necessary to use recovery methods that allow less late muscle pain and better physical performance. Recovery methods are widely used in athletes of various modalities, however there are no studies that point out their effects on para-athletes. This highlights the need for studies on this topic. Paragliding athletes, who train at the Londrina Yacht Club, Londrina Canoeing and Rowing School, who present paraplegia after spinal cord injury, with motor level T10 or lower, without any problem of thermoregulation will participate in the study. All were male and female, with no complaints of musculoskeletal pain or history of upper limb muscle injuries in the last six months and with the same demand for training and competitions. Initially an evaluation will be performed where 1RM, VO2 max, pain, spasticity, body temperature, heart rate variability and electromyographic signal of the involved muscles will be tested. After three days they will be induced to fatigue through a protocol in the traction exercise and immediately directed to one of the 3 intervention groups: ice pack, immersion in cold water or rest. The same baseline evaluations will be repeated after 24, 48 and 72 hours. It is expected that the group submitted to immersion in cold water presents better parameters for pain and sports performance.
This study aimed to detect cell free DNA (cfDNA) in the cerebrospinal fluid and plasma, and to determine whether cfDNA can be used for concomitant diagnosis to improve the treatment efficacy and prognosis of patients with brain (meningeal) metastasis by monitoring tumor-related genetic mutations in cfDNA in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.
