Phenomenological physiotherapy: extending the concept of bodily intentionality.

This study clarifies the need for a renewed account of the body in physiotherapy to fill sizable gaps between physiotherapeutical theory and practice. Physiotherapists are trained to approach bodily functioning from an objectivist perspective; however, their therapeutic interactions with patients are not limited to the provision of natural-scientific explanations. Physiotherapists' practice corresponds well to theorisation of the body as the bearer of original bodily intentionality, as outlined by Merleau-Ponty and elaborated upon by enactivists.

A pilot evaluation of the 3gLM-R - A new supraglottic airway device.

Introduction: Supraglottic airway devices are designed for airway management during anaesthesia. The 3gLM is a novel device with a non-inflatable soft cuff and separate channels for gas delivery and drainage of gastric content.

Material And Methods: This prospective observational study of the 3gLM, version R, size 4 in 40 adult patients scheduled for elective surgery, evaluated the insertion success rate at the 1st attempt as the primary outcome.

[Avian mycobacteriosis in humans remains a threat in the Czech Republic].

The members of Mycobacterium avium complex belong to the most common agents causing mycobacterioses in humans. They are classified as a potentially patogenic mycobacteria, although Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium represent veterinary and economic risks in birds (mainly poultry) as well as mammals (pigs etc.
