“…Worldwide epidemiology and morbidity by different infectious diseases changed over the last years. In some diseases like boutoneuse fever, shigella or salmonella, evolution is related with environmental factors (21)(22)(23)(24), in other diseases evolution is related with outbreaks that can appear in absence of vaccination (25)(26)(27)(28). In other diseases like TB or HIV evolution and mortality changed over the years according with early or late diagnosis and also with availability and adherence of specific treatment (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34).…”

Introduction: One of the most common neurologic disease in Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is represented by progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), being caused by John Cunningham (JC) polyoma virus. Case presentation: We report a case of a 27 years old women, HIV-positive since childhood, under specific antiretroviral therapy with good adherence to it in that period but starting with adolescence adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) decreased. In this context her HIV viral load increased to a 690.000 copies/ml, and CD4 collapsed at 57 cells/mmc. She presented in our clinic with ataxic left hemiparesis, truncal ataxia and left hemi-hypoesthesia. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed a slightly pleocytosis and polymerase chain reaction performed from CSF diagnosed John Cunningham (JC) virus. Once diagnosis established, we reinitiated HAART, but some neurologic disorders persisted like difficulty of the left upper member, having the modified Rankin scale (mRS) of 5. The patient started a multidisciplinary rehabilitation (MDR) treatment, specifically adapted. It consisted of 4 sessions of neuromotor treatments, 20 sessions of massages, and 12 sessions of occupational therapy. According to MDR, the patient improved the ataxic walking, without support, presenting an improvement mRS of 3. Conclusions: AIDS patients with PML could require a prolonged MDR treatment for neurological disorders and rehabilitation treatment promptly should be applied when such diagnosis is suspected. Key words: progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, human immunodeficiency virus, neurological disorder, multidisciplinary rehabilitation,

“…Hepatitis A and Clostridium difficile infections are conditions that can be easily contracted due to their simple mode of transmission. Therefore, it is highly recommended for wind instrument players to prioritize sanitation, such as hand washing, safe water supply, and vaccination consideration, including the one against the hepatitis A virus [36,37]. Trumpet players commonly experience labial muscle fatigue.…”

The aim of this study is to highlight the changes that occur regarding dento-facial morphology, facial, and masticatory muscles in musicians who play wind instruments. Anatomical and functional changes may occur after the long-term use of each type of wind instrument. We considered studies of the impact of playing the wind instrument on the masticatory muscle activity and the resulting modifications. Both children and adults can be affected by playing wind instruments in regard to tooth positioning and facial morphology. These changes relate to the type of wind instruments, the type of vowels and tones used by instrumentalists. There most valuable breathing techniques have been identified that improve the redistribution of pressure, with a minimizing effect on the morphological changes in the oral cavity and cephalic extremity, implicitly on the masticatory functional disorders. In addition to these beneficial effects on the stomatognathic system, these breathing techniques favorably increase lung capacity. Furthermore, a series of toning exercises for neck muscles—which are actively involved and overworked by wind instrument-playing artists—was identified. The study concludes that less experienced instrumentalists demonstrate increased facial muscle engagement, possibly leading to excessive strain, while experienced instrumentalists exhibit more optimized patterns of muscle activity. The novelty of this research lies in its interdisciplinary approach to understanding the influence of wind instruments on dento-facial morphology, addressing preventive and corrective measures to mitigate undesirable outcomes.

“…The water's colour is greenish due to the numerous microorganisms and algae [17]. Despite that water can be a vehicle for transmitting different germs [8,10,11,27], the salty water and the sapropelic mud of Techirghiol lake have a high curative importance [18] with proved therapeutic benefits [6,24]. OA is a multifactorial degenerative joint disease characterized by profound damage of the articular cartilage, changes in the subchondral bone, formation of osteophytes and synovial inflammation.…”

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) represents one of the most frequently treated pathology within the rehabilitation departments all over the world; it involves people over 40, mostly overweight subjects. Our present study, performed on 65 patients diagnosed with knee OA, treated with physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and peloidotherapy in the Balneal Sanatorium of Techirghiol, Romania, tries to demonstrate the importance of the natural biotherapeutic factors on the pain and knee functioning in this pathologic condition. All the patients were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Functional Independence Measures (FIM), prior and after the treatment. Exclusion criteria were the major pathologic conditions that represent contraindications for physical therapies, and associated neurologic and post-traumatic conditions, also. The results demonstrate the reduction, with almost 50%, of the initial pain intensity score and the improvement of general functioning with almost 35%. So, we conclude that natural therapeutic factors can represent a safe nonpharmacological therapeutic way for improving the functionality of these patients, directly related with pain intensity, with low cost and high accessibility. RezumatOsteoartrita genunchiului (OA) reprezintă una dintre cele mai frecvent tratate patologii din cadrul departamentelor de reabilitare din întreaga lume, care implică persoane de peste 40 de ani, în principal subiecți supraponderali. Prezentul studiu, efectuat pe 65 de pacienți diagnosticați cu OA la genunchi, tratați cu fizioterapie, hidroterapie și peloidoterapie în Sanatoriul Balnear și de Recuperare din Techirghiol, România, încearcă să demonstreze importanța factorilor bioterapeutici naturali asupra durerii și funcționării genunchiului în această stare patologică. Toți pacienții au fost evaluați utilizând scala analogică vizuală (VAS) și măsurarea independenței funcționale (FIM), înainte și după tratament. Criteriile de excludere au fost principalele condiții patologice care reprezintă contraindicații pentru terapiile fizice, precum și condițiile neurologice și posttraumatice asociate. Rezultatele demonstrează reducerea, cu aproape 50%, a scorului inițial al intensității durerii și îmbunătățirea funcționării generale cu aproape 35%. Deci, concluzionăm că factorii terapeutici naturali pot reprezenta o modalitate terapeutică sigură non-farmacologică de îmbunătățire a simptomatologiei acestor pacienți, direct legată de intensitatea durerii, cu costuri reduse și accesibilitate ridicată.
