Physiotherapeutic management in the separation of the white borderline Kubiak K. 1, Kwiatkowska K. 1, Lamtych M. 1, Zukow W. 2, Strojek K. 3 1Student Scientific Circle at the Department of Fundamentals of Physiotherapy Chair of Physiotherapy Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz Medical University in Toruń, Poland 2Department of Spatial Management and Tourism, Faculty of Earth Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun, Poland 3Department of Physiotherapy, Collegium Medicum, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland Abstract Dissolution of the white border of the rectus abdominal muscle is a disruption of the functioning of the rectus muscle, which results in loosening of the white border. As a result, a characteristic muscle stretch is visible. This defect affects a significant number of pregnant women and is not just an aesthetic problem. There are many factors that contribute to the above-mentioned ailments. To get the best treatment results, it is important to diagnose the problem early. For this purpose, special tests are used. The ease with which they are made enables the patient to control the separation of the frontier by the patient. The implementation of therapy should take place already in the first days after delivery. It is important to start therapy with posture corrective exercises, breathing exercises and learning how to properly perform everyday activities. Then we implement exercises that involve the abdominal muscles. The exercise program can be supplemented with dynamic slicing. A holistic approach to the problem and combining different forms of therapy allows you to obtain optimal results. Key words: physiotherapy; white border.

Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) represents a serious health problem and is traditionally classified as an allergic disease, where contact with an antigen can induce clinical airway inflammation, bronchial hyper-responsiveness and reversible airway obstruction. Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of the Th2 response in the lungs of human patients with asthma and horses with heaves. These cells are involved in the production of cytokines which regulate the synthesis of immunoglobulins. 40 horses were evaluated: 30 horses with RAO and 10 healthy animals. The expression levels of interferon-alpha 1 (IFN-α1), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-1β, (IL-1β), IL-2, IL-4, IL-13 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were measured in the serum obtained from control and RAO-susceptible horses during crisis. In all the patients, serum cytokine levels were detected. Serum median IL-13 and IFN-γ levels were significantly higher in RAO-affected horses than in the healthy group (p < 0.001). The serum median IFN-α1, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, and TNF-α levels were similar in both groups. These results indicate a low variability of the levels of cytokines and a high frequency of their detection in serum samples from horses with RAO. Immune mechanisms involved in equine RAO are more complex than those defined by a simple Th1/Th2 dichotomy.

Case report An 83-year-old male reported to the emergency room with red eye and ocular pain. The slit-lamp examination showed a central corneal perforation of 1 mm in diameter, with no associated infection or inflammatory process. The patient had no history of trauma. It was decided to apply a patch of Tachosil® at the site of corneal perforation. After 36 h of occlusion, a layer of fibrin covered the perforation, closing the defect. Successful healing of the corneal perforation was observed in the follow-up, with no recurrences of the process. Conclusions Tachosil® is collagen sponge with human fibrin and human thrombin used in cardiological and neurosurgical surgery for haemostasis and the occlusion of vessels and meninges. We present the first indication in ophthalmology of Tachosil® as an effective alternative in the treatment of sterile non-traumatic corneal perforations less than 1.5 mm in size.

WCN 2013 No: 841 Topic: 3 — Stroke Perfusion computed tomography in the diagnosis of acute focal neurological symptoms: Ischaemic stroke vs. seizures K. Kubiak-Balcerewicz, U. Fiszer, E. Naganska, C. Siemianowski, A. Sobieszek, A. Witak-Grzybowska, A. Kosinska-Szot. Witold Orlowski Independent Public Clinical Hospital inWarsaw,Warsaw, Poland; Medical Centre of Postgraduate Education, Warsaw, Poland Background: Misdiagnosing stroke may lead to unnecessary thrombolytic therapy. There are contradictory reports about the role of perfusion computed tomography (PCT) in differentiating stroke and seizures as causes of acute focal neurological symptoms. Objective: To define the role of PCT in differentiating between those two conditions in acute setting. Patients and methods: The study covered 35–85 year old patients with acute focal neurological symptoms, who underwent PCT and EEG within 12 h after symptoms onset. Presumptive ischaemic focus would be revealed in non-contrast CT in the 3rd day after symptoms onset or, when no CT changes appeared, in MRI. Neurological status was evaluated according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Perfusion parameterswere set up as asymmetry indices for corresponding regions of brain hemispheres. EEG was described in a 5-stage scale. Results: Statistical analysis covered 17 patients with ischaemic stroke and 12 patients with focal neurological symptoms in the course of seizures. Those groups, taking potential effect of sex and age into account, were significantly statistically different for two parameters of PCT: MTT (mean transit time) and TTP (time to peak) in lateral middle cerebral artery territory (linear regression, p value b 0.05). TTP revealed to be the most significant parameter (logistic regression, p b 0.05). Analyzed groups were not significantly statistically different in NIHSS evaluation (T-test, p-value N 0.05) and EEG (Mann–Whitney test, p-value N 0.05). Conclusion: PCT may differentiate between ischaemic stroke and seizures as causes of acute focal neurological symptoms.
