“…Between the subjects of the study, are encountered three young women with cervical intervertebral degeneration, thrombophilia and oral contraceptive treatment. Also, our study has included nine patients who developed spinal cord ischemia during acute or chronic herniated vertebral disks with compression at the lumbar spinal cord or nerve roots [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Most spinal cord ischemia are located in the lumbosacral region (14 cases; 66.66%).…”

Neck and back pain may be noted like a first symptom in rare diseases: spinal cord ischemia and spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF). Spinal cord ischemia is a rarer pathology, compared with cerebral ischemia, yet the morbidity and mortality are comparable in both cases; furthermore, classifying the acute loss of function in the spine, encountered in spinal cord ischemia as an important neurological entity. SDAVF presents the same clinical symptoms as spinal cord ischemia, but even though it has a progressive character, the impact in the quality of patients’ lives being equally as important. Between August 2012–August 2017 we admitted through the hospital emergency department 21 patients with spinal cord ischemia and 11 patients with SDAVF (only self-casuistry). Demographic (age, gender), clinical, imagistic (Magnetic Resonance Angiography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging), paraclinical data as well as history, time to diagnosis, the visual analogue scale for pain (VAS score), risk factors, surgical and medical treatment, evolution, neurorehabilitation, were all used to compare the two lots of patients. The aim of this study was to observe potential differences in the demographics, symptomatology, VAS scores and treatment in comparison for spinal cord ischemia and SDAVF, to facilitate the further recognition and management in these diseases. In group A we have 21 patients with spinal cord ischemia (14 females, 7 males). The median age was 41.3 years (range 19–64). The median time to diagnosis was 7 h. The most frequent symptoms were acute neck or back pain at onset (100%), motor deficits (95.24%), sensory loss (85.72%), and sphincters problems (90.48%). The most common location was the lumbosacral spine (14 cases; 66.67%; p-value = 0.03) for spinal cord ischemia and the thoracic spine (7 cases, 63.64%; p-value = 0.065) for SDAVF. The treatment of spinal cord ischemia was medical. In group B we included 11 patients (6 females, 5 males). The median age was 52.6 years (range 28–74). The median time to diagnosis was 3 months (range 2 days–14 months). Patients have progressive symptoms: neck or back pain (100%), gait disturbances (100%) and abnormalities of micturition (100%). The treatment of SDAVF was surgical occlusion of fistula. The proportion of severe VAS score (7–10) in patients with spinal cord ischemia was significantly higher than that in patients with SDAVF (100% vs. 18, 19%; p-value = 0.051). Taking into consideration that the usual findings and diagnosis of spinal cord ischemia and SDAVF are still challenging for neurologists and in some cases the difficulties are related to technical limitations, we consider these entities to be rare but very important for the life of our patients. Patients were grouped into spinal cord ischemia and SDAVF status and those with acute or chronic pain conditions, measur[1]ed by the VAS score. Patients with spinal cord ischemia develop acute neurological symptoms. They are much younger than the patients with SDAVF and the recovery rate is higher. Patients with SDAVF develop a progressive myelopathy and they suffer considerable neurological deficits. Imaging the lesions with MR angiography or MRI, we can confirm the diagnosis.

“…The research results regarding yoga in multiple sclerosis have shown that yoga practice relieves fatigue. A research study of Ananda yoga that included energisation exercises, breathing exercises, and isometric contraction exercises showed important improvements in the physical state of the patients in terms of fatigability relief [17,18,19]. The aim of the study was to investigate the outcomes of these yoga exercises on aspects of daily living and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis.…”

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, autoimmune, debilitating disease that affects the central nervous system, and the affected population is predominantly young. Over time, patients with multiple sclerosis end up developing an inability to perform physical activities, even the most basic, innate, such as walking or even coordination.Purpose: Physical recovery of patients with multiple sclerosis, in fact, recovery from fatigue is the main goal of this study, because fatigue is a prevalent factor among these individuals, producing negative effects on the physical, mental, but also on the emotional status.Method: We analyzed, from the point of view of the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale Test - 5-Item Version (MFIS-5), the level of fatigue in a group of 75 patients with multiple sclerosis, before and after a period of one month, where patients were divided into three groups and every group practiced one of the following sports activities: yoga, Tai Chi and aerobics.Results: The effectiveness of each sport was analyzed, from the point of view of the level of fatigue, having as reference the first measurement performed before the beginning of the sports programs. A significant difference in effectiveness was found in the group of patients with multiple sclerosis who used yoga.Conclusion: Our results provided evidence for the association of exercise methods that can affect beneficially the level of fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients, the most effective one being yoga.

In particular, the promotion of sport is aimed at adolescents and young people with the aim of facilitating the harmonious development of the body and of discouraging obesity and its longterm consequences. In contrast, due to the exhaustive use of sports training in terms of intensity and volume, the practice of sports has conduced to an increased rate of acute and overuse injuries.The principal acute injuries in youth sports are sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations and contusions [1][2][3][4][5].Young athletes are more prone to stress fractures and congenital predispositions to stress fractures. Young athletes can be affected by two basic types of injuries: acute injury as the result of single impact macrotrauma and overuse injury that appears after repetitive microtrauma of training.The inconsistent variable that differentiates diagnosis, treatment and prognosis after spinal cord injury is related to the patient's age, due to the biomechanical and biochemical characteristics that each age. Discussion intervertebral disc lesionsInjuries can be disc-located with the result of disc herniation, disc degeneration, and ultimately developmental stenosis.These are most commonly seen in the lumbar spine L4-L5 and L5-S1, but also a significant incidence is present in the cervical spine. A low frequency of intervertebral disc lessions occurs at the level of thoracic spine. Disc lesions are generated by flexion/rotation or weightlifting injury, but also hyperextension can produce cervical disc herniation at the level of cervical spine C3-C4. Intervertebral disc lesions produce axial pain and restricted spinal motion. The clinical subjective symptoms of radicular compression are pain in a dermatomal distribution, weakness, paraesthesia and numbness. Neurological deficit is secondary to nerve root or spinal cord compression [6-10].Compression injuries that use the axial loading process can result from injuries in sports using the motor or boat.
