Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis. A total hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty or THA) consists of replacing both the acetabulum and the femoral head while hemiarthroplasty generally only replaces the femoral head. Hip replacement is currently one of the most common orthopaedical operations, though patient satisfaction short- and long-term varies widely. In this paper we present the case of a 75-year-old woman, with classic uncemented hip prosthesis intervention, from the preoperative preparation stage to 1 year after the intervention and the recovery phases and their evolution. Due to a quality management of the intervention and good hygiene and nutrition, the lack of osteoporosis and the absence of paleopathology, the patient recovered in a fast and correct manner, returning to a good functionality and state of health. Also, the cooperation between the patient, family, therapist, doctor and psychologist had a decisive role in the success of both the intervention and the postoperative period with optimal results for the age and possibilities of the patient.

Procedura de încheiere a unui acord a evoluat mult de la un proces strict formalizat la încheierea unui acord folosind rețele de calculatoare. În prezent, aproape toate sistemele juridice reglementează principalele etape ale procesului precontractual - direcția ofertei, analiza și acceptarea acesteia către destinatari, precum și încheierea contractului în timpul procesului de negociere. Cu toate acestea, intensitatea unei astfel de reglementări și gama de relații reglementate diferă în fiecare familie juridică și chiar în statele aparținând aceleiași familii juridice (de exemplu, Marea Britanie și Statele Unite). Procesul de negocieri între părți în timpul încheierii unui acord a rămas cel mai puțin reglementat, deși încercările de reglementare a unor elemente ale procesului de negociere sunt observate în aproape toate sistemele juridice (de exemplu, stabilirea răspunderii precontractuale, statutul juridic). a relaţiilor precontractuale). Din acest motiv, este deosebit de interesant să analizăm Convenția ONU de la Viena.

Our study focuses on the field research methodology of customs based on the opinions of specialists that we analyzed using a critical approach. Additionally, we incorporated our own experience as field researchers over six decades. Initially, we examined established methods such as reconstruction, direct observation, interview, and investigation based on questionnaires. We then researched the specific elements that give customs the status of regional variants, including any unusual ones that express the richness of this genre in the investigated area. Our study also emphasizes the importance of filming and photographing customs for their preservation, as they are in a process of evolution and disappearance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), is a inflammatory demyelinating disease probably partly autoimmune origin, has an acute or subacute onset and manifests with multifocal lesions of the central nervous system (CNS). In many cases it is necessary to make a differential diagnosis with multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic and progressive inflammatory disease of the CNS, which occurs in young adults aged between 20 and 40 years, but can occur in children with ADEM suspected. Aim of the study was evolutionary estimation of clinical characteristics specific to the first e of demyelination of ADEM to carry out determine the differential diagnosis with MS. Materials and methods. During 2010 - 2022 a retrospective study was conducted by analyzing the medicated records of 42 children and adolescents, including 19 girls and 23 boys, who suffered an acute CNS demyelinating disease as a first e with an abnormal data of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The mean age of children with ADEM was 6 years and 8 months, and in MS was 14 years and 7 months. According to the definition proposed by the Pediatric MS Study Group regarding the studied pathologies the diagnosis of ADEM was confirmed 3 months after the onset of the first episod. For diagnostic accuracy MS patients were assigned a final diagnosis after long-term follow-up. Results. Of the 42 children who were confirmed 3 months after the first e of ADEM, only 3 cases (7%) manifested with the multifocal form of the disease. In evolution 18 children (43%) were diagnosed with ADEM and 24 (57%) with MS. The duration of follow-up was 6 years and 8 months in patients with the one course of ADEM and 5 years and 6 months in patients with relapses of the disease. Encephalopathy was registered in 13 (72%) of ADEM patients, while none of the MS patients had encephalopathy. At the first stage of the disease, immunological manifestations, i. e., oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid (41.7%) and increased immunoglobulin G index (75%), as well as imaging data, i. e., periventricular perpendicular ovoid lesions (58%), correlate with the MS outcome. Only a few clinical features differed between ADEM and MS at the first manifesting. The presence of encephalopathy at the onset of ADEM exclude the diagnosis of MS. We report the case of a 2.6-year-old girl initially diagnosed with ADEM. Conclusions. The clinical manifestations of ADEM can be recognized at the onset of the disease. Children manifesting a first demyelinating event should be evaluated with caution for known MS risk factors. It is necessary to consider that the first symptoms reflecting a demyelinating process of the nervous system may represent a first attack of MS. Such patients should be monitored for future relapses as well as considering early treatment in those at high risk of MS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Glomerulonefrita cronică se dezvoltă treptat, poate fi depistată ocazional în absența simptoamelor [19]. Varianta cronică a bolii nu are o cauză certă. Glomerulonefritele cronice sunt cauza de la 35% până la 55% din insuficiență renală în stadiu terminal, în funcție de țări sau regiuni [20, 22]. Scopul acestei lucrări - stabilirea și evaluarea prognosticului glomerulonefritelor cronice în dependență de tratamentul aplicat la pacienții cu glomerulonefrită cronică. A fost stabilit - în dependență de sindromul clinic principal prezent: 29 (48,3%) pacienți – au fost cu forma mixta, 16 (26,6%) pacienți – cu sindromul nefritic, 11 (18,3%) pacienți – cu sindromul nefrotic, 3 (5%) pacient – cu forma hematurica și 1 (1,6%) pacient – cu sindromul hipertensiv. După tratamentul aplicat: 57 (95%) din toți pacienți primesc terapie antihipertensivă; 52 (86,6%) pacienți primesc diuretice; 49 (81,6%) pacienți primesc statine; 31 (51,6%) pacienți administrează glucocorticosteroizi; 29 (48,3%) pacienți primesc citostatice; 20 (33,3%) sunt cu terapie antianemica.

Purpose. The study aims to determine the impact of dysthyroidism on the severity and type of coronary lesion, on vascular function, as well as on the morbidity and mortality of patients with acute coronary syndrome, by finding predictive markers that can be translated into preventive measures that contribute substantially to reduce the number of newly diagnosed patients with coronary heart disease. Methods. We introduced in the study 100 patients recently diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome, without history of ischemic heart disease or thyroid disease, hospitalized in the Cardiology Clinic of the “Bagdasar-Arseni“ Emergency Clinical Hospital Bucharest, for the interventional treatment of acute coronary syndrome. The studied patients were hospitalized between November 2014 and April 2015, with regular follow-up of up to 5 years (telephone or direct interview, conducted at 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60 months), with an average period follow-up of 1006 days, evaluated clinically, bio-humorally, by echocardiography, explored with coronary angiography with the calculation of the SYNTAX score and with the performance of electrocardiogram and pulse wave. The obtained data were integrated in Excel sheets and statistically processed with the Python program. Results. The mortality rate in the patient group was 7% (7 deaths). Descriptively, of the deceased, 6 patients (86%) were male, and as thyroid status 1 hyperthyroid patient (14%), 3 hypothyroid patients (43%) and 3 patients (43%) normothyroid. There were 4 deaths (8%) in the group of patients with unstable angina and 3 deaths (8%) in the group of patients with myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation. There were no deaths in the group of patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. At follow-up, 41 patients (41%) were readmitted. Re-hospitalization was influenced by elevated values of mean blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and C-reactive protein, unicoronary atherosclerotic disease and unstable angina at admission. At follow-up, the development of noncardiac events was noted in the evolution of patients, diabetes mellitus occurring in the majority, in almost a quarter of patients (22 patients, respectively 24% developed diabetes over time), 34% (19 patients) in euthyroidism and 8% (3 patients) dysthyroidism. Discussions. Predictive factors for the readmission of the patient with acute coronary syndrome are highlighted the following: increased level of C-reactive protein (p = 0.017), tricoronary vascular damage (p = 0.01), diastolic blood pressure greater than 80 mmHg (p = 0.025), and euthyroid status (p = 0.04). The probability of death for the patient with acute coronary syndrome rises to 66% in the presence of severe systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle (p = 0.006), and to 61% in the case of elevated values of hs troponin I (p = 0.008). In our study, the presence of dysthyroidism in the patient with acute coronary syndrome has a protective role in the development of diabetes in the first 5 years (p = 0.025). Conclusion. Dysthyroidism is associated with increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Limba este supusă unui proces de dublă definire: prin atributul sistemului de realitate statică, datorată inerției la schimbare, și prin caracterul de permanentă producere de acte de limbaj, prin vorbire. Sub presiunea nevoilor concrete de comunicare, o limbă se află într-o continuă dinamică ce asigură progresul sau regresul limbii, ambele aspecte, alături de modificările neutre, reprezentînd, în fapt, evoluția limbii. Articolul vine astfel cu o necesară delimitare conceptuală între evoluția și progresul limbii, pe de o parte, dar și între cauzele ce determină evoluția și evoluția în sine, ca proces.Lingvistica a cunoscut abordări radical diferite asupra obiectului său de studiu, limbajul natural uman: perspectivele asupra limbii diferă de la rețeaua de relații care fac elementele ce compun o limbă sau alta să capete calitatea de sisteme, la produs al libertății și voinței umane, căci limba nu poate fi separată de libertatea vorbitorilor, sau la atenția acordată semnificațiilor, acestea fiind întotdeauna construite social, pe baza interacțiunilor dintre membrii unei comunități. Într-o atare diversitate a punctelor de vedere exprimate în care divergența domină convergența, articolul își propune în subsidiar să fixeze din perspectivă diacronică definirea lingvisticii ca însemnînd, în principal, istoria evoluțiilor pe care limbajul le-a cunoscut de la începuturile sale.

This paper, a result of a field research carried out between the years 2010-2019, is focused on the traditional life from one of the best preserved regions of Romania. In the first part, we followed the evolution of rural life of Maramureş from the 19th century ongoing, noting that the Industrial Revolution has never reached that place, that the region's claimed isolation was not real, and highlighting the most important changes, from the times when the place's life has been completely traditional, until today. Then comes a list of 221 types of jobs still practiced today in Maramures, of which 69 we have listed as occupations, and 152 as handicrafts. Therefore, the Land of Maramureş, an area so small and low inhabited, preserves today one of the highest known concentrations of authentic occupations and crafts. Each activity was noted as practiced by women, men, in rural or urban settings (although in Maramureş the two environments are deeply intertwined), respectively in danger of extinction. We grouped occupations into several major categories: agriculture, animal husbandry, shepherding, hay making, fruit growing, viticulture, hunting, fishing, beekeeping, foraging, forestry, transportation, food preparation and motherhood. The handicrafts were systematized taking into account first (but not only) the raw material processed: textile fibers processing, wool processing, beading, bridal crowns, wood processing, musical instruments making, basket making, leather processing, various types of water powered mills, bone and horn processing, metal processing, stone processing, clay processing, the end of the study being assigned to a heterogeneous category, which we called „other occupations, crafts, services and skills".

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with pruritus that occurs most frecquently in children. A family history of atopy (eczema, asthma, or allergic rhinitis) and skin barrier abnormalities genetically determined are major risk factors for atopic dermatitis. The diagnosis of atopic dermatitis is clinical, based upon the history, onset, and morphology of skin lesions. The goals of treatment are to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, to improve the quality of life and minimize therapeutic risks. The optimal management is based on the severity of the disease and involves the elimination of exacerbating factors, restoration of the skin barrier function, pharmacologic treatment of skin inflammation (topic and systemic agents), and patient education.

The district of Baia Mare, located in the eastern area of Satu Mare County, includes all the shapes of relief (mountains, hills, plain) and this is a fact to leave mark upon the population’s life and evolution. The largest number of localities is located along the valleys that dig the territory, the Someș Valley especially. The Depression of Oaș and this one of Maramureș are also intensely populated, with a high number of localities. Apa and Medieșu Aurit are to be noted for their highest demographic density, in the area of the Someș Valley, a proper place for agriculture and for a better living standard so. Mining was the occupational filed for many of the district’s habitants, especially for those in the mountainous areas of Oaș and Baia Mare, and Baia Sprie countryside, together with breeding and farming. The mining workers’ life was particularly difficult. The privileged statutes of the two towns mentioned above proves the mining ampleness and importance in this district which was the unique territorial-administrative unit to include two royal free towns in the county of Satu Mare.

This study aims to be a detalied analysis, which, through its structure, methods, procedures and content, contributes to the clarification of the issues related to the capacity of the territorial systems to adapt in the analyzed region. The results were achived by analyzing the tourist flows, compared to the previous years, everything being outlined by the prospects of this area's development. The results show a low number of tourists due to a poor process of modernization, lack of involvement of local authorities and little marketing, as the county is not included in the category of the recognized tourist destinations. This area has a high potential for tourism, so it is necessary for the county to be known both at national and international level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives - Previous studies reported outcome differences following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) between genders. We aimed to evaluate gender-related differences in in-hospital post-STEMI outcomes and to identify the substrate of such differences, if present. Methods - Cardiovascular risk factors, hemodynamic, electrographic, echocardiographic, angiographic status, and blood parameters at hospital admission were retrospectively assessed for 672 patients presented with STEMI treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention. In-hospital post-STEMI outcomes were evaluated. All parameters were compared between female and male patients. Results - Among all STEMI patients, 30.3% were females. Compared to male patients, women were older and more often had a history of heart failure (p≤0.0001). They were also more frequently hypertensive (p = 0.02) and diabetic (p< 0.001). Post-STEMI, female patients presented more often cardiogen shock (p = 0.01) and required more frequently diuretic therapy (p< 0.001). In-hospital mortality was also higher in female than in male patients (p< 0.01). However, after adjusting for the potential confounders, female gender did not remain an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (p=0.16). Conclusions - Female patients had higher rates of post-STEMI complications and higher in-hospital mortality. However, these gender-related differences appear to be fully explained by the higher cardiovascular risk factors burden in females. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pneumonia este o formă de infecţie respiratorie acută care afectează plămânii şi care este cauză principală de mortalitate în rândul copiilor la nivel mondial. Pneumonia poate apărea la orice vârstă, dar este mai frecventă la copiii mici. Etiologia ei este adesea dificil de determinat, criteriile de diagnostic fiind adesea prezumptive şi bazându-se pe date epidemiologice, clinice, de laborator şi radiologice. Autorii prezintă trei cazuri de pneumonie diagnosticate la vârste diferite, subliniid particularităţile clinice, imagistice şi evolutive.
