Relations of morphological characteristics and coordination in female subjects included in gymnastic activities
Relations of morphological characteristics and coordination in female subjects included in gymnastic activities
Development gymnastics is the form of gymnastics in which the principal purpose is improving regular biological growth and health status of children and youth. For this reason, it is very interesting to analyze the relationship of certain anthropological dimensions and motor space of subjects being engaged in a program of develop­ment gymnastics. At the sample of 138 subjects included in program of development gymnastics aged 9-11, from the biggest cities of Vojvodina, a test battery of eight anthropometrical variables and one motor test 'obstacle course backwards' to estimate functional coordination was implemented. Following the application of linear regression analysis, on the basis of coefficient of determination, it was found that morphoiogical space evaluated with eight anthropometric measures explained about 20 per cent criterion variable to estimate functional coordination, which is statistically significant at the significance level of P=0,00. Analyzing partially, the mentioned relation mostly contribute to variables 'forearm girth' and 'abdominal skin fold'. Analyzing the relations of morphological factors and functional coordination by application of factor analysis (Hotelling's method of principal components), statistically significant relation at the significance level of P=0,00 was determined, both for the whole predictor system of anthropometrical variables, as well as for partial analysis of each estimated morphological factor. The results of this paper confirmed that morphological characteristics of young girls are significantly related with functional coordination. .
Relations of the relevant morphological characteristics to the success in elite gymnasts
Relations of the relevant morphological characteristics to the success in elite gymnasts
The sample of subjects comprised 253 male gymnasts and 214 female gymnasts participants of the 40th World Championship held in Stuttgart GER in September 2007. The sample of predicting variables is comprised of the set of three variables - Body mass, Body height, and Body mass index. Criteria variables consisted of 7 variables in men six disciplines and the success in all around, i.e. in women four disciplines and the success in multievent athletics. For the definition of the influence of the predictors on each isolated discipline of the gymnastics all around and all around a multivariance regression analysis was applied. It was presupposed that there are significant relations and influences of the set of prediction variables on the criterion variable which was eventually verified.
Relations of the system of morphological characteristics and basic motor abilities on the system of specific precision of football players at the age of 10-12
Relations of the system of morphological characteristics and basic motor abilities on the system of specific precision of football players at the age of 10-12
Research was conducted on the sample of 256 football players at the age of 10-12. They were analyzed by a battery of 12 anthropometrical measurements for evaluation of morphological characteristics, 20 tests for assessment of the basic motor abilities, and 24 tests for evaluation of specific precision. According to the tests and the canonic- correlation analysis, general conclusion, which was based on observation of the relations of morphological characteristics and the basic motor abilities with specific precision, structure-based morphological and basic motor canonic factors can be interpreted as SKELETON DIMENSION FACTOR, SPEED ENDURANCE and EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH, whereas structure-based canonic factor of specific precision may be interpreted as GENERAL FACTOR OF SPECIFIC PRECISION IN FOOTBALL. Relations of the structure of the canonic factor indicate and prove that the football players aged 10-12 with bigger skeleton dimensions, higher explosive strength and better speed endurance achieve better results in tests of specific precision in football. .
Relationship of BMI, skeletal and mandibular density in osteopenia
Relationship of BMI, skeletal and mandibular density in osteopenia
Various indexes could be used in assessing of reduction of density of bones. However value of each index could indicate, or not to indicate exact changes of systemic skeletal density. Aim of this study was to assess accuracy of representing and correlation of body mass index, lumbar and skeletal density and mandibular density of individuals with minor or moderate reduction of bone densities. Materials and method. 9 men (mean age 62.4 yrs.) and 14 women (mean age 65.1 yrs.) were examined. Body mass index (BMI), density of skeleton (g/cm3) (Lunar DPX-L, USA),and density of mandible using panoramic radiograph (Orthopantomograph 10,Siemens,Germany) and digital densitometer (DT II 05, England) were calculated for every subject. Results. Mean values amounted BMI=17.1 kg/m2, skeletal density T=-1.8, and optical density of a bodies of mandibles ρo= 0.98 U/mm2, for men. Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.324, and Spearman's coefficient was 0.219. Mean values amounted BMI=15.7 kg/m2, skeletal density T=-2.1, and density of mandibles ρo= 0.63 U/mm2, for women. Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.201, and Spearman's coefficient was 0.167. Conclusion. BMI, T and ρo indicated small or moderate reduction of skeletal density- osteopenic changes in all subjects. Calculated values of statistical parameters indicated small significance in correlations of indexes of density and mass of bones.
Relevance of MPAs-total score to sex, age of onset of schizophrenia and season of birth
Relevance of MPAs-total score to sex, age of onset of schizophrenia and season of birth
Minor physical anomalies (MPA) may be seen as valid biological marker in the evaluation of schizophrenia, if we interpret this diseases as a neurodevelopmental disorders in the early months of intrauterine life. The aim of the present study is to investigate the rate of MPAs in schizophrenic patients and normal control subjects. The study was conducted to evaluate the relevance of MPAs-total score to sex, age of on­set of the disease and season of birth. 114 mentally healthy individuals and 146 patients satisfying the ICD-10 criteria for schizophrenia were examined for MPAs using the modified Waldrop Physical Anomaly scale. Patients with schizophrenia show signifi­cantly higher MFA-T scores than controls (4,03±1,81v.s 1,56 ± 1,28). Gender differences were without statistical significance. No relationship was found between MPAs total score and effect of birth season. Significantly higher MFA scores were associated with age of onset of the disease (p=0,018).
Reparation of bone layers of osteoporotic jaw-bone
Reparation of bone layers of osteoporotic jaw-bone
Aim of the study was to assess up-to dated approach to magnetic flux and energy product, and application of magnets to osteoporotic jaw-bone repairing process. Material and methods. Data on small bio-magnets and magnet influence to reparation of bone layers in osteoporotic jaw-bone were analyzed. Structural and attractive force of bio-magnets with 2.8 mm radius (mini magnets with radius range of 2.8 to 4.0 mm) and magnets of 5.4 mm radius, if positioned to denturing base, were considered. Magnetism and magnetic energy forces were counted in miliTesla (or Gauss) units, as well as KJ/3 respectively. Structures of magnets were different, and there were NdFeB, PtFe and Sm integrated metal structures. Results. Resistance to corrosion was attributed to PtFe magnets, and capsulated Sm magnets. Available attractive energy of 159 KJ/3 for PtFe magnets and 80 militesla (800 gauss) for samarium magnets were established. Favorable attractive force of magnetic influx was considered to be 10 mm, stimulating osteoblastic activities and positive bone remodeling. Conclusion. PtFe and samarium (ACMA) magnets should be recommended for usage in reparation of osteoporotic jaw-bones.
Research variations the channel of gallbladder in relation to gender
Research variations the channel of gallbladder in relation to gender
Channel of the gallbladder (DC) shows the different anatomical variations, the knowledge is important in the diagnosis and particularly abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate possible gender differences in the morphology of the gallbladder channel (DC). A total sample consists of 50 anatomical liver taken from autopsy cases of both sexes (32 men and 18 women). Samples of liver were fixed in 4% formalin for 4 weeks, and then studied microdissected under scrutiny. We were working length measurement channels of the gallbladder (DC) and typing of junction of the cystic (DC) with the common hepatic duct (DHC). We classify anatomical junction variations DC with DHC into three types: angular, parallel and spiral type, and then performed statistical analysis of the data with respect to gender. Results: The angular type compound we found approximately at 2/3 or 64% of the samples (men-60% of women-72%), the parallel type combination of a total of 22% of the sample (men-31% of women-6%) and spiral type of 14% of the samples (males-9%, women 22%). Parallel and spiral type together make up about 1/3 of the cases. The average length of DC is 3.1 cm and the variation interval of 1.7 to 6.2 cm. We found that the difference circuit between DC and DHC the angular variable (parallel junction and spiral) with respect to gender there but the difference was not statistically significant (p> 0.05).
Rh blood-group system and the importance of its research in the population of Vojvodina
Rh blood-group system and the importance of its research in the population of Vojvodina
We examined the Rh blood group system in blood donors. Rh factor is tested on a sample of 300,000 donors, while the testing of Rh phenotype was performed on 4000 blood donors. Testing was performed by standard methods, and then the data were statistically processed. After the examination of blood group ABO system it is important to examine the Rh blood group system because of the possibility of sensitization and the most common risk for the fetus during pregnancy. In addition, this system is important for many anthropological studies, forensic expertise and others. The results show a high percentage of Rh-positive blood donors (over 83%), while the percentage of Rh-negative donors was lower (about 16%). 10 different Rh phenotypes are present in the population of the Vojvodina region (the percentage varies) and the results will be presented. The obtained results will be compared with the results valid for the white race and compared with the results valid for the population of Serbia. This paper presents a 25-year study of Rh factors and phenotype. The tests show that the population of Vojvodina has a uniqueness and specificity. The importance of this study is that it gives us a better understanding of the genetic variability of the population of Vojvodina.
Risk factors for osteoarthritis of the hip
Risk factors for osteoarthritis of the hip
INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis of the hip is a degenerative disease of hip unknown origin, with pain, stiffness and diminished joint function. AIM: determine the influence of the load of the hip joint during professional activity and BMI as risk factors for the hip osteoarthritis. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We analysed 148 patients. Patients were divided into two groups ( I group with osteoarthritis of the hip, II group without osteoarthritis of the hip). In all, performed diagnostic procedure: anamnesis, physical examination (estimate of walking and hip joint movement), laboratory blood test and urine test radiological examination and taking data on the height and weight to calculated BMI. We assessed the data that is related to the load of the hip joint during professional activities (mostly sitting work and mostly standing job with carrying load). Statistical analysis was done using the software package SPSS 14.0, Microsoft Office Word 2003. RESULTS: In the first group, average age was 67.76 years, with females prevailing (67.6%). In this group the larger body mass was noted (81.82 ± 12.18), with statistically significant difference (T-test 2.923, p<0.01); the average BMI was higher the average BMI was higher (30.18 ± 4.6), with statistically significant difference (T-test 3.832, p<0.01). This group had more overweight patients (87.7%),with statistically significant difference (Fisher test, p<0.01). In I group 62,2% of patients were doing hard physical work (standing job with repeated carrying load) and we found statistically significant difference between groups (Fisher test p<0,01). CONCLUSION: Patients with osteoarthritis of the hip had a higher body weight, higher BMI. Also we found the influence of hard physical labor at work, and they were performed mostly standing job with carrying load.
Rooth system characteristics of mandibular M1 and M2
Rooth system characteristics of mandibular M1 and M2
The dental root system of lower molars in a mesio-distal direction may have different shapes depending on the form and position of both roots. The aim of this study has been to detect the presence of particular characteristics of lower molars. We analyzed 896 orthopan X-ray films of orthodontic patients from Niš, according to Zubov's method. In all the cases, M1 has 2 roots, while M2 has one root in 7.1% of them. In M1, the most frequent root system type is with a distally inclined mesial root (type 5) and it appears in about 32% of the patients, while 22.36% have paralel roots (type 3) and 22.61% have convergent roots in the apical third (type 2). The same percentage of the patients (23%) have M2 of the types 3 and 5. Dominant numbers of M1 and M2 (82% and 88%) have roots of equal length, while the mesial root was shorter in 16% of M1 and in 9.55% of M2. The mesial root form always occurs in normal variants: it appears most frequently in its form I in M1 (74.63%) and in the form II in M2 (55.42%). Asymmetry of the left and right sides is also present: in M1 it is within the limits of 6-10% and in M2 within the limits of 5-15%.
Secular trends in height and weight among children from Novi Sad (Serbia), 1971-2017
Secular trends in height and weight among children from Novi Sad (Serbia), 1971-2017
The secular trend is biological indicator for assessing the degree of socio-economic development of a country. The study aims to analyze the secular trend of height and weight of children 3-11 aged in the city of Novi Sad (Serbia) in the period between 1971 and 2017. An anthropometric investigation was conducted six times within the stated period. The data are presented for a total of 13037 children (6969 boys; 6068 girls) on the territory of Novi Sad. The results point to a positive secular trend, although this is not observable in all ages and decades. The mean height of preschool boys and girls increased 0.21 cm and 0.11 cm per decade respectively, while in school boys and girls an increase was 0.70 cm and 0.55 cm per decade. The mean weight of preschool boys and girls increased 0.1 kg and 0.03 cm per decade respectively, while in school boys and girls an increase was 0.69 kg and 0.57 kg per decade. The magnitude of secular changes in body height and weight was not stable. These results possibly reflect a very turbulent socio-economic and political situation in the country, which began in the 1990s.
Seidel's and Lean's equation relations to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry determination of the total fat mass percentage
Seidel's and Lean's equation relations to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry determination of the total fat mass percentage
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides accurate and precise body composition and adiposity assessment, and enables development and calibration of the anthropometric equations. Seidel's and Lean's equation as well as DXA are used to determine total body fat mass percentage (FM %). The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Seidel's and Lean's equation in comparison to DXA FM% estimate. DXA was performed in 88 women with mean body mass index (BMI) (28.22±5.12 kg/m2) and age (50.79±13.57yr.), divided in 4 groups according to their BMI: 1st gr.<25 kg/m2; 2nd gr. 25-29,9 kg/m2; 3rd gr. 30-34,9 kg/m2; and 4th gr. 35-40 kg/m2. Seidel's equation (FM% = 4,201/D - 3,813 x 100; D= 1,1369 - 0,0598 x logSUMA; SUMA= triceps skinfold (SF) + biceps SF + subscapular SF + suprailiac SF) and Lean's equation (FM% = 0,439 x waist circumference + 0.221 x age - 9,4) calculated FM%, and it was compared to FM% determined by DXA. Total FM% determined by Lean's equation (42.67±7.14%) was not significantly different compared to FM% determined by DXA (41.44±7.14%), but FM% determined by Seidel's method was significantly lower (28.06±3.46%). FM% determined by Lean's equation was not significantly different, but FM% determined by Seidel's equation was lower compared to DXA in all groups divided according to their BMI. FM% determined by Lean's equation correlated significantly with FM% determined by DXA (p<0.0001). DXA examination discovered that Seidel's equation underestimated FM% in all groups, and it was confirmed that Lean's equation provide accurate and precise FM% assessment, and it could be used in clinical practice.
