Article Abstract
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries often involve sudden single leg loading with directional changes. Trunk and lower extremity (LE) load transfer and muscle power are directly coupled during these movements. The effect of trunk and LE long-axis rotation training on forward single leg drop jump landing and stabilization (FSLDJLS) was studied.
Methods: Using block randomization (gender), 36 (18 men, 18 women) subjects were assigned to experimental (nine, 20 min exercise sessions) and control groups with equal subject number. Ground reaction force (1000 Hz), kinematic (60 Hz) and LE EMG (1000 Hz) data were synchronously collected. Statistical analysis compared pre- and post-test neuromuscular control mean change differences (MCD), and hip flexion-LE peak EMG % maximum volitional isometric contraction (%MVIC) (expressed as decimal equivalents), mean change difference (MCD) relationships.
Results: The experimental group had greater landing knee flexion (3.5 ± 3.6° vs. -0.4 ± 3.3°, = .002) MCD, greater dynamic LE stiffness after landing (0.09 ± 0.14 vs. -0.11 ± 0.14, = .001) MCD, and increased gluteus maximus (GMAX) (0.20 ± 0.39%MVIC vs. -0.23 ± 0.46%MVIC, = .006) and gluteus medius (GMED) EMG amplitude (0.22 ± 0.31 vs. -0.07 ± 0.36%MVIC, = .018) MCD. This group also had decreased GMAX (-166.5 ± 403.6 ms vs. 89.3 ± 196 ms, = .025), GMED (-75.9 ± 126.8 ms vs. 131.2 ± 207.1 ms, = .002) and vastus lateralis (-109.1 ± 365 ms vs. 205.5 vs. 510 ms, = .04) activation duration MCD. More experimental group subjects had increased landing knee flexion MCD (15/18 vs. 8/18, = .015), increased dynamic LE stiffness MCD (15/18 vs. 2/18, < .0001) and increased GMAX (15/18 vs. 7/18, = .006) and GMED (17/18 vs. 10/18, = .007) EMG amplitude MCD, and reduced GMAX (12/18 vs. 6/18, = .046), GMED (11/18 vs. 5/18, = .044), rectus femoris (12/18 vs. 6/18, = .046), and vastus lateralis (13/18 vs. 7/18, = .044) EMG activation duration MCD. Only the experimental group displayed significant relationships between landing and peak hip flexion and peak LE EMG amplitude MCD.
Conclusion: Increased dynamic LE stiffness, increased hip muscle EMG amplitude and decreased hip and knee muscle activation duration MCD in the experimental group suggests improved LE neuromuscular control.

Objective: Aim: To find out new objective criteria for laser histological differential diagnosis of thyroid pathology based on the use of a digital method of layer-by-layer polarization-interference mapping of polarization ellipticity maps of microscopic images of native histological sections of thyroid biopsy.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Four groups of patients were studied: control group 1 - healthy donors (51 patients); study group 2 - patients with nodular goiter (51 patients); study group 3 - patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (51 patients); study group 4 - patients with papillary cancer (51 patients). Methods used: polarization-interference, statistical.

Objective: To verify the effect of physical exercise on the quality of life of patients with liver cirrhosis (LC).
Methods: the sample included controlled and randomized experimental studies of individuals with LC, at any stage of the disease, over 18 years of age, of both sexes, who performed any type of physical exercise compared to any other intervention or no intervention, with quality of life as the outcome assessed by the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ). The search for articles was conducted in 11 databases.

Background: Parasite antigens and plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels from luminal origin in visceral leishmaniasis (VL) patients are correlated with cellular activation and low CD4+T cell counts.
Objectives: Our aim was to verify whether Leishmania infantum infection damages the intestinal barrier and whether combination antimonial/antibiotic contributes to the reduction of LPS levels and immune activation.
Methods: Golden hamsters were grouped in: G1-uninfected; G2-infected with L.
