Myofascial release in patients during the early postoperative period after revascularisation of coronary arteries.

The evaluation of the impact of soft tissue manual therapy with a myofascial release on pulmonary function, postoperative pain, fatigue, breathing difficulties and physical fitness, in patients during the early postoperative period after coronary artery bypass grafting and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. The study included 80 subjects (59 males) with an average age of 64.13 years old.

[Surgical treatment of perinatal brachial plexus palsy in children--late surgical technique].

Apart from the possibilities to predict and eliminate the risk factors (especially in highly developed countries) the perinatal brachial plexus palsy (PBPP) still constitutes severe labor complications. PBPP treatment may be divided into conservative and operative categories. It is considered that the time necessary to regain functioning of brachial and ulnar articulations in children with BPPP (treated conservatively and surgically) amounts to 2 years approximately.

[Primary reconstructive operation in surgical treatment of perinatal brachial plexus palsy in children].

Perinatal brachial plexus palsy (PBPP) constitutes a serious medical problem. PBPP treatment consists in conservative and operative procedures. The latter one is usually divided into primary operative procedures, conducted in the initial stage of child's life (aiming at suture of brachial plexus nerves in the early stage of life) and secondary (aiming at elimination of functional limitations, osseous deformations, articular contractures occuring at later stages of life).
