“…The conclusion is that the pain and low QL, determined by the lack of social support, are important factors in deciding on euthanasia [7]. This is likely due to the deep economic decline caused by the pandemic, with unemployment and inflation as its con- [8,9,10]. The low evaluation in the "Environment" domain is directly related to the impasse in which chronically ill patients find themselves and correlates to the increase in their consent for passive and active euthanasia and their readiness for their implementation.…”

Introduction: a central problem in medical practice is the resumption of good quality of life in chronically ill patients with disability. The unresolved health problems of chronically ill patients with disability inevitably lead to increased consumption of health services and create a risk of a euthanistic predisposition. Aim: to study the relation between quality of life and legal awareness of euthanasia in chronically ill patients with disability. Material and methods: Material: The study includes 173 polymorbid patients with disability, evaluated by the Territorial Expert Medical Commission (TEMC) in the Varna region. The research was conducted during the time period of July-December 2021. Methods: sociological methods - individual and group examinations and statistical methods - analysis (χ2), variance analysis, correlation analysis (r), regression analysis (β). Results and discussion: we establish a predominant influence of the "Environment" and "Physical health" domains while assessing the legal awareness of euthanasia in this vulnerable group in society. Pain and low quality of life, determined by the lack of social support, are important factors in deciding on euthanasia. Conclusion: the low quality of life of chronically ill patients with a disability requires more adequate opportunities, ensuring optimal disease management. Bulgarian society suffers a significant insufficiency of palliative/hospice care, which makes legalizing euthanasia at the moment a premature decision.

“…There are well-established physical therapeutic methodologies in accordance with the rehabilitation potential and the needs of the athletes, as in some of the cases of incorrect rehabilitation or their early return to sports activity, recurrences happen. This imposes the development of prevention strategies involving multidisciplinary teams between which there is a systematical exchange of information about the athlete's condition in order to prevent soft tissue damage or to reduce the risk of relapses [5].…”

The term "Unhappy Triad", coined by O'Donoghue, reflects a severe knee injury with rupture of the medial collateral ligament, medial meniscus, and anterior cruciate ligament. The triad is primarily a sports injury, and patients' recovery is 6 to 12 months. Material/Methods: 70 patients with "O'Donoghue's triad" were studied. Total anterior cruciate ligament rupture was reconstructed with patellae ligament autograft; medial meniscus tear was treated with partial meniscectomy; and medial collateral ligament injury was treated conservatively at 1 month before surgery. The aim of the study is to establish the epidemiology of the injury: age and gender distribution, distribution by types of sports in patients with "O'Donoghue's Triad" after arthroscopic treatment. 222 persons were examined in two stages – first, 187 with various soft tissue injuries of the knee, after surgical treatment, including persons with the triad, and second, 70 patients with O'Donoghue's triad. Results: The study shows that among 18-19-year-olds, the triad was found in 4 people; from 20 to 29 in 34, from 30 to 39 in 23, and from 40 to 49 in 9. In terms of gender, there were 62 men (86.11%) and 8 women (13.89%) with the triad injury. "O'Donoghue's Triad" was obtained during sports in 91.52% of cases, the remaining 8.48% in car accidents and household accidents. Conclusions: The results of the study establish and provide coaches, physiotherapists, orthopedists, scientists and educators with up-to-date data on the epidemiology of O'Donoghue's Triad, its incidence, age and sex characteristics and its distribution by sport.

“…Soccer is currently considered one of the most widely played sports in the world, whilst also being one of the sports that presents highest risk of injury (Noya & Sillero, 2012;Pfirrmann, Herbst, Ingelfinger, Simon, & Tug, 2016). The preventive treatment of injuries has traditionally been approached from a physiotherapeutic approach (Krist, van Beijsterveldt, Backx, & Ardine de Wit, 2013;Nomikos, Nomikos, & Kores, 2010;Shivachev & Bogomilova, 2020). The most current trends indicate the need to perform preventive exercises to improve mobility and balance (Ishøi, Krommes, Husted, Juhl, & Thorborg, 2020;Meurer, Silva, & Baroni, 2017;Thacker, Gilchrist, Stroup, & Kimsey, 2004), increase strength or correct and take care of body hygiene to reduce the risk of injury (Rojas-Inda, 2018).…”

This study aims to analyse the effects of a psychological intervention focused on motivation and anxiety, in combination with a physiotherapy program, upon the occurrence of injuries. The participants were 22 male soccer players (age = 23.31, SD = 4.24). The instruments used were injury protocol, Competitive State Anxiety Inventory 2 (CSAI-2) and Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ). The program lasted twelve sessions a periodicity of weeks and with duration of approximately 30-40 minutes each. A pre/post-treatment design with three modalities was used: psychological treatment and physiotherapy (combined modality), physiotherapy and control. The groups are formed randomly with the Windows Excel program. The results on the indication of injury show that the physiotherapeutic treatment and the combined treatment reduce the appearance of injury compared to the control group during the intervention. In the long term (six months after the intervention), only the combined treatment significantly reduced the injury compared to the control group. The combined program produced a reduction of de-motivation levels and external regulation, along with an increase in intrinsic motivation (accomplishment) in comparison to the group who received physiotherapy on its own. Both interventions (combined and physiotherapy alone) were efficient in decreasing anxiety levels, although the combined group was more efficient, as well as being the only one that significantly improved self-confidence levels and intrinsic motivation. Nevertheless, because of the lack of previous literature in this area and because of the methodological difficulties further studies are required. === Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar los efectos de una intervención psicológica centrada en la motivación y la ansiedad, en combinación con un programa de fisioterapia, sobre la aparición de lesiones. Los participantes fueron 22 jugadores de fútbol masculinos (edad = 23.31, SD = 4.24). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el protocolo de lesiones, el Inventario de ansiedad de estado competitivo 2 (CSAI-2) y el Cuestionario de regulación del comportamiento en el deporte (BRSQ). El programa duró doce sesiones con una periodicidad semanal y con una duracion de 30-40 minutos cada una. Se utilizó un diseño pre/post tratamiento con tres modalidades: tratamiento psicológico y fisioterapia (modalidad combinada), fisioterapia y control. Los grupos se formaron aleatoriamente con el programa Excel de Windows. Los resultados sobre la indicidencia de lesión muestran que el tratamiento fisioterapéutico y el tratamiento combinado reducen la aparición de lesión respecto al grupo control durante la intervención. A largo plazo (seis meses después de la intervención) únicamente el tratamiento combinado reduce significativamente la lesión respecto el grupo control. El programa combinado produjo una reducción de los niveles de desmotivación y regulación externa, junto con un aumento de la motivación intrínseca (logro) en comparación con el grupo que recibió fisioterapia por sí solo. Ambas intervenciones (combinadas y fisioterapia sola) fueron eficientes para disminuir los niveles de ansiedad, aunque el grupo combinado fue más eficiente, además de ser el único que mejoró significativamente los niveles de autoconfianza y la motivación intrínseca. Sin embargo, debido a la falta de literatura previa en esta área y debido a las dificultades metodológicas, se requieren más estudios.
