Abstract: At the present times, people life and work into concrete buildings, and it has been reported that these structures decrease the earth’s magnetic field, what is associated with human health affections, which become these type of reinforced concrete constructions into a potentially factor of environmental contamination. In this paper the authors, with a simple procedure, determine the possible attenuation of the terrestrial magnetic field by different types of construction, and report the results. To study the possible relation among certain health sufferings, attributed to the lack of magnetic field, so called Syndrome of Magnetic Field Deficiency, a survey was carry out trying to establish the relationships: type of construction- health affection. Considering the results obtained, arguments are given in favor of the application of magnetic therapies in the rehabilitation of some health sufferings.

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of manipulative action techniques in complex treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and represents the results of clinical and functional tests. Differentiated indications for use of different techniques of chest massage and manual therapy were proposed. Parallel group randomized prospective comparative study was conducted on 137 patients with COPD. In accordance with the classification (GOLD, 2013), all patients were diagnosed with COPD of medium severity. 75 (54.7%) patients had persistent disease, 80 (58.4%) and 57 (41.6%) patients suffered from respiratory insufficiency of I and II degree, respectively. Respiration function was assessed by pneumotachometry study performed during forced expiratory maneuvers and by spirometry methods; pulmonary hemodynamics and myocardial contractile function of the right ventricle were assessed by reopulmonography methods; central hemodynamics was assessed by tetrapolar thoracic rheography. The research led to the following overall findings. The massage technique focused on asymmetric areas of the chest develops the most active anti-inflammatory action as compared to other physical impact techniques we investigated. This technique should be used with caution in the presence of hypokinetic type of blood circulation and pulmonary hypertension. The classical massage technique of the chest has the advantage as we can consider the possibility to prescribe this technique to patients with more severe course of COPD, including but not limited to presence of pulmonary and systemic cardiac hemodynamic disorders, alveolar hypoxia.

Abstract: Injuries are one of the common risks associated with physical activity. At the collegiate level of sports participation, NCAA sports programs are required to provide injury treatment and prevention options for their athletes. However, for participants competing in club and intramural sports, no universal requirements for injury prevention and treatment exist. This study assessed the risk of injury during club and intramural sports among college-aged students compared to participants in NCAA sports. Overall, club sport participants were found to have a significantly higher rate of injury compared to previously documented injury rates in NCAA participants, while, both NCAA and club sports participants were found to be more at risk than intramural participants. Specific sport injury rates were documented for nine club sports and compared with NCAA injury data. These injury rates suggest a need for improved health care and preventative treatment options for club sport athletes, especially in club sport rugby.
