Spinal decompression surgery alone or in combination with fusion surgery (instrumented or uninstrumented) has been the mainstay of the treatment for the majority of degenerative spinal conditions. Nevertheless, the direct decompression techniques are associated with a greater risk of complications, which mainly include bleeding, inadvertent durotomy, neural injury, epidural fibrosis and spinal instability [1]. Due to the same reason, the surgeons [..] READ MORE
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the acute subjective responses to a single RT session with continuous- and grouped-sets distributions in resistance-trained men. There were three sessions in a crossover/random fashion. On the first session, all subjects were familiarized and their biceps curl 10RM load was determined. The sessions were randomized for continuous- or grouped-sets distributions. For continuous-sets, 8 sets of 10RM we [..] READ MORE
Holistic approach enabled to develop, for the last years, deterministic models to describe and predict performance. Recently some limitations were pointed out to these models and claims that dynamic systems theory should be used as major framework to analyze sports performance. Hence, the development of research based on non-linear parameters (i.e. fractal analysis, entropy, etc) is a step forward for this research field and only briefly describe [..] READ MORE
We are presenting a case report of a young lady with history of posterior thigh mass. On radiological examination, we found bony lesion with massive soft tissue extension. These findings had similarities to aggressive bone sarcoma on MRI. Pathological examination revealed intraosseous Schwannoma. [..] READ MORE
Osteoarthritis, the most prevalent musculoskeletal disease remains relatively impervious to successful treatment. Moreover, available treatments may not be indicated, or efficacious, and even if they are can prove toxic and commonly fail to impact the disease directly. [..] READ MORE
