The present study is based on the paraclinical and functional evaluation of a sample of 66 subjects with ischaemic stroke, to monitor the evolution of their functional parameters. The tests concerning the variation of barycentre speed within the support polygon and the curve length were conducted using the GPS 400 Posturograph, which provided us with information related to the balance of the subjects in an orthostatic stance with eyes open, with eyes closed, looking to the right, looking to the left, head tilted to the right, head tilted to the left, head in extension. Our findings highlight the balance re-education capacity of the subjects with ischaemic stroke through individualised physical therapy programs.

The research conducted is based on the clinical evaluation through magnetic resonance and on functional testing using the stabilometric platform, of a sample of 23 subjects with a stroke ischemic localised in the area of the middle cerebral artery. With the help of magnetic resonance, the structural changes of the ischaemic focus were determined. At the same time, the evolution in time of the ischaemia and the alteration at the level of the ischaemic area were monitored. By using the stabilometric platform GPS 400, the distribution of the load at the level of the lower limbs was analysed, as well as barycentre variations. The results obtained after conducting the study highlight the high possibility of the functional re-education of the subjects when brain lesions do not extend and no complications arise, elements underlined by imaging exploration using magnetic resonance.

The present study describes a 29 years old patient diagnosed with aseptic osteonecrosis with multiple localization occurred after a corticoid treatment for chronic toxic hepatitis. The clinical and para-clinical examinations determined the diagnosis of Wilson disease and avascular necrosis with multiple localizations. The evolution of the disease was favourable following the surgical treatment consisting of bilateral total hip arthroplasty with cementless prosthesis, hemi-arthroplasty of the left shoulder with cementless prosthesis, orthotopic hepatic transplantation with an entire liver from donor in cerebral death and immunosuppressive, anticoagulant, antiretroviral and gastro-protective treatment. There is an increase of the number of patients undergoing a glucocorticoids treatment for several months, years or lifelong periods. This type of treatment increases the risk of osteonecrosis depending on the dosage and the duration of the treatment.

This papers aims at identifying the mean body mass index and body fat percentage among students from Physical Education and Sport Faculty in Iaşi. The study was conducted on a series of 297 students majoring in Physical Education and Sports, but also in Kinetotherapy and Special Motricity (bachelor studies and master studies). By determining the body mass index mean and body fat mean for students within five specialties, we managed to classify them into categories. The assessment of body mass index was conducted using the standard formula BMI= weight in kilograms/height in meters² and that of body fat using the Fat Track II body fat calliper. Research findings highlighted that the body mass index mean values for each academic year range within normal parameters. As for body fat, the mean value of all academic years ranges in the "very good" and "good" categories. Whereas most mean values range within normal limits, it must not be neglected that overweight or underweight cases were also pinpointed, which should be a warning sign for the future specialists in the field of Physical Education and Sports. Key words: body fat, body mass index, body fat calliper, overweight. RezumatLucrarea de faţă îţi propune să identifice media indicelui de masă corporală şi a procentului de grăsime a studenţilor de la Facultatea de Educaţie Fizică şi Sport din Iaşi. Studiul a fost realizat pe un lot de 297 de studenţi din cadrul specializărilor de Educaţie Fizică şi Sport şi Kinetoterapie şi Motricitate Specială, de la programele de licenţă şi de masterat. Prin procesul de determinare a mediei indicelui de masă corporală şi a procentului de grasime a studenţilor de la cele cinci specializări, am realizat încadrarea în categoriile specifice. Evaluarea indicelui de masă corporală a fost realizat prin intermediul formulei standard IMC= g/h² şi a procentului de grăsime cu ajutorul pliometrului FatTrackII. Rezultatele cercetării au evidențiat faptul că în ceea ce priveşte valorile medii ale indicelui de masă corporală a fiecărui an de studiu nu există valori care să depășească pragul normalității. Dacă ne raportăm la procentul de grăsime, valoarea medie a tuturor anilor de studiu se încadrează în categoria "foarte bine" şi respectiv "bine". Chiar dacă majoritatea valorilor medii se încadrează în limitele normale, nu trebuie neglijat faptul că există și cazuri de supraponderalitate ori de subponderalitate, care ar trebui să devină un semn de întrebare pentru viitorii specialişti în domeniul Educaţiei Fizice şi Sportului.Cuvinte cheie:procent grăsime, indice masă corporală, pliometru, supraponderali 1 Lecturer PhD, "Alexandru
