Using Dancesport as an Educational Resource for Improving Institutionalized Children's Learning Strategies.

Introduction: Specialized studies mention that extracurricular activities (including dance) contribute to the stimulation of multiple intelligences, on whose development the educational process and academic success depend. The aims of the study were to investigate the benefits of dancesport for the development of institutionalized children's learning strategies, and to examine gender-dependent differences in learning strategies, as well as to formulate possible recommendations regarding the practice of dance at the age of preadolescence, from the perspective of school success vectors.

Methods: Through the School Motivation and Learning Strategies Inventory (SMALSI), we could observe the changes produced in children from the initial phase to the final assessment at the end of a dancesport program.

Evaluation of the pancreatic tumors by transabdominal Shear Wave Elastography: preliminary results of a pilot study.

Aim: To identify the mean values of Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) in pancreatic neoplasms.

Material And Method: This pilot case-control study was conducted in a tertiary care setting and data were collected in a prospective manner. Thirty-three subjects were included and divided into two groups: 18 healthy subjects and 15 patients with pancreatic neoplasm, from which 14 patients were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma and one with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia.

Prevalence and associated risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in hospitalized patients.

Background And Aim: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic syndrome (MS) have become important health issues in many countries. There is increasing interest in ultrasound-diagnosed NAFLD. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of NAFLD in hospitalized patients and to determine the metabolic features of ultrasound-diagnosed patients.

Endoscopic mucosal resection for early esophageal cancer. A case report.

With the rapid progress of the diagnostic techniques, especially endoscopy, the discovery rate of early superficial cancer of the esophagus has increased markedly. Relatively recently introduced, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is now widely used in the treatment of early stage cancer of the esophagus. We used EMR in the case of a patient who was incidentally diagnosed with a type IIa early esophageal cancer using a band-ligating device.
