A protocol for customization of protective mouth guards for athletes undergoing strenuous exercise
Статья научная
Aim: to develop a protocol for customization of protective mouth guards for athletes undergoing strenuous exercise and to provide substantiation for the protocol being developed. Materials and methods. We analyzed clinical data and findings obtained from a dynamic follow-up of 50 light heavyweight (74-87 kg) males (age range 25-44). The participants were divided into 2 groups based on the method used for fabricating protective mouth guards. In the first group, the protective mouth guard was fabricated using a vacuum-forming technique with the mandible being in the centric occlusion. In the second group, a custom vacuum formed protective mouth guard was used and the bioelectrical activity of the masticatory muscles and the position of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were evaluated. Results. We evaluated the efficacy of protective mouth guards in athletes of the first group and found a reduction in the bioelectrical activity of masticatory muscles with insignificant variations. In the athletes of the second group, the function of the masticatory and temporal muscles was balanced, the muscle electrical activity was stabilized and muscular synchrony was achieved after mouth guard wear. Conclusion. A protocol for customization of protective mouth guards for athletes undergoing strenuous exercise was developed. Our findings show that wearing custom-made mouth guards during strenuous exercise plays a role in regulating bioelectrical activity and maintaining the synchrony of masticatory muscles which is confirmed by electromyography (EMG) of masticatory and temporal muscles and computed tomography of the TMJ.

Статья научная
Aim: this study is aimed at developing the design of an orthopedic chair for persons with musculoskeletal disorders, which will meet the requirements of ergonomics and have the active sitting function. Materials and methods. The study involves the methods of patent search, the analysis of publications and market analysis, which allowed to create a prototype of the chair. The Xsens 3D motion tracking system was used to provide a comparative analysis of postural data during sitting in a standard office chair and in a prototype of the orthopedic chair. Results. A prototype of the chair was made of composite fiber materials using additive technologies. Xsens data showed that there were significant differences in postural data obtained in a standard office chair and in an orthopedic one. The data obtained allowed to develop technical requirements for at least 3 sizes of the chair with the active sitting function and integrated rotation mechanism. These data will be used for the product, which takes into account anthropometric features of children and adults. Conclusion. Our prototype contributes to the improvement of sitting posture due to the anatomical form of the chair seat, chair height adjustment mechanism and active sitting function, which prevents users from sitting incorrectly and strengthens postural muscles.

Anesthetic management for surgery of children with brain tumors: systematic review
Статья научная
Aim. Based on publications dedicated to anesthetic management for surgery of children with brain neoplasms we aimed to reveal and summarize the specific features of anesthesia of such patients. Materials and Methods. We performed a systematic review and processed the information from Russian and foreign literature published in 2001-2016. The analysis included patients younger than 18 who had undergone surgical procedures due to brain tumor. Results. The conducted analysis allowed us to classify surgical interventions into three main categories (shunt surgery, open surgery, neuroendoscopy) and to determine category-specific features of anesthetic management. The analysis results also made it possible to describe the algorithms of preoperative preparation, recovery stage, and early postoperative period for anesthesiologist. Conclusion. The review has shown that brain tumor surgery is one of the most complicated operations requiring a well-coordinated teamwork. Anesthesiologist has not only to be especially well-trained and skilled, but to cooperate closely with neurosurgeon, which may be even more critical. Psychological, ethical, and professional aspects of such cooperation are a subject of further detailed research.

Статья научная
Aim. The aim of the study was to extend the knowledge about the impact of applied selected components of “Healthy Lifestyle” teaching module, during the Physical and sport education lessons, to the changes in the exercise regime of high school pupils. Materials and Methods. Experimental selection (ES) consisted of pupils of comprehensive studies (eight-year grammar school) (n = 23 pupils), control selection (CS) of pupils of comprehensive studies (four years grammar school (n = 26 pupils). Participants were pupils (age = 15.5 ± 0.5 years old), multiplicity of each sex was following ES = 17 boys, 6 girls; CS = 16 boys, 33 girls. Pedagogical experiment was realized at High school in city Nováky and lasted from 28.4.2017 to 27.6.2017. To obtain the necessary data we used non-standardised anonymous questionnaire, which consisted of accompanying text, information about the intention, personal data (body height, body weight, sex, age, and health problems), questions about healthy life style and volume of physical activity in pupils regime. Questionnaire was distributed and filled out in the whole research group (ES, CS) before and after the experiment. Obtained data were assessed by Chi-Square test of good correlation at 1 % and 5 % level of statistical significance. Results. Application of an experimental agent in the form of a specific educational program, compiled of selected components showed that a short period of theoretical impetus has proven to be satisfactory, by increasing number of high school pupils with the dominating frequency of physical activity and changes in the amount of movement in their exercise regime. Both in boys and girls, we found statistically significant difference between knowledge about importance of physical activity and its realisation in daily regime (girls input/output; Chi = 20.96/16.96 p ≤ 0.01; boys input/output Chi = 7.88 p ≤ 0.05/12.71 p ≤ 0.01). Conclusion.

Aim. The paper aims to increase physical working capacity through intensive muscle training in normobaric hypoxia. Materials and methods. The training programs included 15 cycles of a 3-hour stay of volunteers in a normobaric hypoxic chamber, where they performed physical activity on an exercise bike and a treadmill. The power was set at 70-100 W with a duration of 120-140 min with several breaks. Participants of the main group (14 males aged 19-23 years) were subjected to training under low (up to 16-17 %) oxygen concentration conditions in the gas environment. In the control group (10 people of the same age), hypoxic conditions were simulated. Physical working capacity was controlled by the Ruffier test and bicycle ergometer test to anaerobic threshold, as well as the breath-holding test. Results. Essential increase of physical working capacity was established only in the main group, and positive tendencies in all functional tests remained in remote supervision. Conclusion. Consequently, the method based on a rational combination of physical and normobaric hypoxic training can be considered as an effective and safe means of increasing the physical working capacity of a person engaged in intensive muscle training.
