23.01.2022 Physical Activity Guidelines 2019 - Pregnant Women Physionarium

23.01.2022 - Mid-back pain is a common complaint in the physio clinic and can be associated with a number of factors including stress, repetitive work, tr...auma and/or sustained postures. Pain in this region is often thought to involve the muscles that run from the spine to the medial scapular border (trapezius, rhomboids, teres) and underlying rib articulations (see cover image). Like many other types of physical pain, a combination of mobilization, stretching and resistance training can be very helpful for combating this problem. Here are a series of exercises to try if you suffer from pain in this region. 1Thoracic Mobilization: Use the foam roller to mobilize the joints and soft tissues of the thoracic spine. Spend a few minutes working up and down the entire length of the mid-back. If this isn’t direct enough, a lacrosse or tennis ball the region works great. 2Dynamic Pectoral Stretch: While laying on your foam roller, move your arms out to the side and overhead as if doing a jumping jack. This will stretch the muscles of the anterior chest wall and the nerves that run through the arms. Aim for 2 sets of 10 repetitions. 3Thoracic Rotation Stretch: Bring the hips into flexion in order to limit lumbar movement. From here, follow one arm and rotate as far as possible. Hold for 5-10 seconds and repeat 2-3 times. Then, perform on the other side. 4Prone T: Bend at the hips with the low back straight and lift the arms out to your sides as shown. This will help activate the muscles between the shoulder blades and reduce pain. Shoot for 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions. I hope these are helpful to you!

19.01.2022 & I often write on the benefits of resistance training, but here is a great post from @exercisescience on some of the benefits of aerobic tr...aining. We know exercise attenuates physiological aging, and there is no pill that comes close to competing with exercise. The authors in this study found that treadmill exercise for three days a week for five months protected nearly every organ system from aging in a mouse model. The mice used were genetically engineered to age faster due to a defect in a gene for polymerase gamma (POLG1) that alters the repair system of their mitochondria. One hypothesis of aging is that lifelong accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations leads to a progressive decline in tissue and organ function, causing aging. But when these genetically altered mice performed endurance exercise, they looked just as health as normal mice, while the sedentary siblings were grey, frail, infertile, and balding.

17.01.2022 Fibromyalgia (FM) (ICD-10 M79.7 diagnostic code) is defined as a generalized chronic pain disorder of unknown etiology that persists for more than three months ...in the absence of any obvious organic injury. Symptoms commonly associated with FM include low pain threshold, joint stiffness, sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunction, fatigue and depression. In addition, the mechanisms linked to the symptoms of FM include changes in nociceptive circuits and an increase in sensitivity to pain. FM frequently presents comorbid myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME / CFS; ICD-10 code R53.82 or G93.3, if post-viral). Although separate clinical diagnostic criteria are described for FM and ME / CFS, both conditions are associated with common characteristics, including changes in immune function and overlapping infectious symptoms, such as flu symptoms. As a result, the researchers investigated a possible viral etiology of the disease. However, to date, no clear correlation between FM or ME / CFS and viral infection has been established. A higher prevalence in females has been reported for FM and ME / CFS. Global estimates range from 1% to 5% of the population for FM and 0.23% to 5% for ME / CFS, depending on the geographic areas and the diagnostic criteria applied. Most chronic and degenerative disorders appear to stem from complex gene-environment interactions, leading to aberrant epigenetic changes, rather than being determined by genetic mutations or polymorphisms. A recent report by Polli et al., Summarizes the available evidence connecting epigenetic mechanisms to pain, particularly about changes in DNA methylation and miRNA interference. DNA methylation profiles and post-translation histone passage (PTM) model mammalian genomes, dynamically controlling gene expression by altering chromatin organization, while miRNA profiles (miRNomes) regulate RNA levels post-transcriptionally target. To date, only two studies have attempted to assess DNA methylation profiles across the genome in patients with FM, finding differential methylated regions associated with 47 and 960 genes, respectively, with some overlap. The main genes affected are related to DNA repair, immune system, nervous system and development of the skeletal / organ system and chromatin compaction pathways. Regarding the miRNA profile, five studies reported the FM miNNames, including our group's research efforts. Like DNA methylation studies, miRNA scans usually include a small number of participants, but have still resulted in overlapping unregulated miRNAs identified by more than one group of researchers. For a detailed compilation of the updated results, a recent review published by our group is suggested. Interestingly, as described for FM, patients with MS / CFS showed predominant patterns of hypomethylated DNA in differentially methylated regions. Hypomethylation of the genome can lead to the transcriptional activation of regions of the genome that would otherwise appear silenced. Although the coding genes make up only about 2% of the genome, they have traditionally attracted attention in many studies of differential expression. However, after observing that many of the hypomethylated regions in the ME / CFS are within non-coding regions, we sought to determine whether these epigenetic marks in the ME / CFS could affect the expression of repetitive regions, representing 45% of the genome. This has been demonstrated for other neurological and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Rett syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). As far as we know, this is the first study to report increased expression of the correlations of the levels of HERV-K, HERV-H, HERV-W and INF- and INF-, in the immune system of patients with FM. Although the levels of these molecules can serve as biomarkers of FM and / or ME / CFS and / or biosensors of TE activation, the general RT-qPCR estimation approach used in this pilot study can make it nonspecific, largely associating TE activity with neurological and inflammatory. Therefore, future efforts to assess the activation of certain HERVs or TE chromosomal sites should more precisely define disease-specific mechanistic information. It is important to highlight that the model proposed here, linking modifications of the disease-specific epigenome, activation of ET, inflammation and an increased risk of cancer in individuals with compromised RNase activity, may be applicable not only to patients with FM and ME / CFS, but in any individual with similar molecular disorders.

16.01.2022 Vegan triathlete Dominick Thompson wasn’t always a shining example of health. He was once part of a criminal gang, overweight, and on a path to self-destruction before a stint in prison prompted him to eliminate all harmful things from his life - including animal products.

15.01.2022 The achilles tendon is a thick fibrous cord that attaches the ankle plantarflexors (calf muscles) to the heel bone (calcaneus). If this t...endon is stressed beyond its capacity, such as with a forceful stretch or a powerful contraction, a tendon rupture can occur. Achilles tendon tears, like this great image from @drjohnkennedy, usually occur in recreational athletes who participate in activities that require the calf muscles to produce large forces, such as basketball, beach volleyball and soccer. Normally, we wouldn’t think of these activities as being particularly dangerous, but, in the case of the ‘weekend warrior’, who is often mostly sedentary during the work week, problems can arise. In these types of athletes, it is not uncommon to see a situation where the musculoskeletal system is somewhat deconditioned and may not possess the capacity for explosive, forceful movement. If you fall into such a category, or just want to protect your achilles for the long haul, give these exercises a try. 1Double-Leg Calf Raise 2Single-Leg Calf Raise 3Calf Pulses 4Single-Leg Hop 5Single-Leg Change of Direction Hop
