{"title":"Management of neuropsychiatric symptoms in people with neurocognitive disorder - using add-on antidepressants or NMDA antagonists in relieving agitation","authors":"B. Petrescu, S. Riga","doi":"10.26659/pm3.2020.22.4.202","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26659/pm3.2020.22.4.202","url":null,"abstract":"Background. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is by far the most common type of dementia and it is commonly considered as a memory disorder although behavioral and psychological (including psychiatric) symptoms (BPSD) are largely represented in these patients. Psychosis could explain the worsening of the functional prognosis in these patients, therefore antipsychotic drugs are comonly prescribed. The risks associated with antipsychotics use limit their recommendation and antidepresants or NDMA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) antagonists could represent an alternative. Aims. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the clinical status of the psychomotor agitated patients with neurocognitive disorder on stable antidementia therapy after the addition of antidepressants or NMDA antagonists. Methods. The primary variables of this study are related to the severity of agitation under the action of pharmacological factors. Agitation as part of the BPSD was evaluated by CMAI (Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory)-short version. A total of 37 subjects (24 female, 14 male) participated in this observational study. They received as add-on antidepressants between weeks 1-8 or NMDA antagonists between weeks 8-16. Inclusion criteria were DSM IV-TR criteria for diagnosing dementia, AD and vascular dementia (VD) and also NINDS-ADRDA clinical criteria. Data analysis was achieved through SPSS software, version 20, using ANOVA- paired t-tests and independent t tests. Results. The efficacy of memantine over general agitation was significantly superior to antidepressants. Regarding the modulation of the CMAI scores evolution by the type of neurocognitive disorder, treatment and duration, it was observed that the statistical difference between groups became significant after 8-16 weeks of memantine treatment. At the endpoint visit the decrease in agitation was superior in the AD versus VD group (p = 0.012). Conclusions. The overall trend was toward a decrease of the agitation severity after each treatment trial for both types of dementia, including cumulative drugs effects. In the literature, the data are controversial in terms of prescribing antidepressants in the neurocognitive disorders even when BPSD is important, the keystone being the general consensus of limiting the use of antipsychotics and polypharmacy.","PeriodicalId":263837,"journal":{"name":"Health, Sports & Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134063482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of the Global Postural System GPS 600 device to identify postural deficit induced by working posture, combined with a physical therapy program for the spine proved to be beneficial. Based on the data obtained from a complete posturography, customized kinetotherapy and medical recovery programs were developed. Aims. The aim of this study was to prove the importance and benefits of a physical therapy program for prevention and treatment of the degenerative diseases of the spine. The study focused on adults involved in work activities that required maintaining a sitting position at the office. This study included 13 subjects with the age between 25 to 47 years old; the mean age was 32 years. Methods. To remedy the musculoskeletal disorders that appear during the work in the office, our research team proposed a unique method of treatment by the technique of alternating support surfaces. The methods used for evaluation were joint and muscle balance as well as the visual analogue scale of pain, and the evaluation data provided by the GPS 600 system. Results. At the end of the 14 days of treatment and physical therapy program, all subjects had a relief of symptoms and the alignment of the spine was significantly corrected. Conclusions. The treatment using the Global Postural System GPS 600 combined with physical therapy is important to prevent degenerative diseases of the cervical spine both for the effect on the joints and for the general effect of postural balance.","PeriodicalId":263837,"journal":{"name":"Health, Sports & Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126537280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Resistance training elicits the greatest release of CK, and is the best way to attain muscle hypertrophy. The highest post-exercise serum enzyme level is found after prolonged exercise such as ultradistance marathon running or weight-bearing exercises and downhill running, which produce eccentric muscular contractions. Persistently elevated CK levels in apparently healthy subjects may indicate a late-onset underlying condition. The decrease in the serum enzyme level depends on the period of rest after exercise, as short-term physical inactivity may reduce the lymphatic transport of CK and the release of the enzyme from the muscle fibres. We discuss the source and level of CK in various situations, the different CK isoenzymes and also when to test for an underlying myopathy or other pathologies which may impact the long-term athletic performance. It is likely safe for athletes with suspected myopathy to continue physical activity at a lower intensity to prevent muscle damage, and allow appropriate rest to favour recovery. Thyroid dysfunctions and drug-induced myopathies should be ruled out. History and clinical examination could help clarify whether other muscle-directed investigations are required.","PeriodicalId":263837,"journal":{"name":"Health, Sports & Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125351625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Can recreational physical activity improve trunk and hamstring flexibility in older adults in the Covid-19 pandemic?","authors":"Iris Malka, Iacob Hanțiu","doi":"10.26659/pm3.2020.22.4.224","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26659/pm3.2020.22.4.224","url":null,"abstract":"Background. It is well-known that flexibility is related to the range of motion of the muscles and joints. Trunk and hamstring flexibility was found to be related to low back pain and falls, health and well-being. Aims. This study aimed to investigate the impact of two recreational physical activity (RPA) programs, Harmonic Gymnastics and Fitness exercise, on the flexibility of the trunk and hamstring muscles in adults aged 50+. A secondary aim was to analyze the relationships between flexibility, BMI and gender. Methods. Flexibility was measured in 32 subjects, mean age 61.40, from Tel Aviv, Israel, by the Back Saver Sit and Reach test. They were divided into two groups (16 subjects in each group). Results. The paired samples t-test revealed significant differences after the program only in the Harmonic Gymnastics group (p = 0.00; d = 1.34). The correlation analysis indicated that after the program, flexibility scores were negatively related to higher BMI in women (r = -0.508, p = 0.031), and women had higher flexibility scores than men before and after the intervention program. Conclusions. This research shows that the Harmonic Gymnastics recreational physical activity program had a significant influence on the flexibility of older adults, even in pandemic conditions of Covid-19. Regarding the relationships between flexibility, BMI and gender of the subjects, women revealed higher flexibility scores than men, and higher BMI was related to lower flexibility scores in women.","PeriodicalId":263837,"journal":{"name":"Health, Sports & Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123613882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nanotechnology developed multiple systems that may be involved in drug delivery to the target tissue, among them, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) being considered potent and safe. Aims. The study aims to investigate oxidative stress and the modifications of the aorta wall after administration of gold nanoparticles, as the single component or functionalized with Cornus mas L. extract. Methods. Adult female rats received solutions by gavage, as follows: group C (control), saline solution; group I (citrate), trisodium citrate dehydrate; group II (AuNPs), gold nanoparticles solution; and group III (AuNPsCM) solution of gold nanoparticles functionalized with Cornus mas L. extract. Oxidative stress parameters were investigated in the serum and aorta, biochemical parameters from blood, diameters and blood flow velocity were measured and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed on ascending aorta ring sections. Results. LDL was significantly reduced; MDA decreased significantly in serum; in the aorta, endothelin 1 and TNF-α were significantly increased in AuNPs and AuNPsCM groups, iNOS increased and MDA decreased in all treated groups, compared to the control group. The aorta diameters significantly decreased, consequently the blood flow increased significantly in the treated groups, in comparison with the control group. TEM investigation showed intima and media alterations in groups that received citrate and AuNPs, and only intima modifications in the AuNPsCM group. Conclusions. The aorta wall presented oxidative stress and histological modifications in all treated rats.","PeriodicalId":263837,"journal":{"name":"Health, Sports & Rehabilitation Medicine","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129360917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
