Introduction: A socio-demographic analysis of marriage and family requires conducting deep studies penetrating the essence of the processes among the population. The issue of birth-rate, as a basic factor that determines the reproduction of the population, takes a central position in the demographic studies. The study of the influence of the mothers’ reproductive behaviour on their daughters’ repro-ductive attitude is of an undisputed interest. This study deals with mothers’ realized plans as a factor in their daughters’ family planning. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2018 through a direct group anonymous inquiry among 395 female students. The statistical processing of the data was made with descriptive, alternative, correlation and variance analyses. Results: The students’ reproductive behaviour is statistically significantly dependent on their mothers’ realized family plans. Moth-ers’ education and the real number of children are statistically significant factors for their daughters’ views about the ideal and planned number of children. Conclusion: This study of the reproductive behaviour of the students advances the knowledge in the field by revealing that it is statisti-cally significantly dependent on their mothers’ realized plans.
Chronic low back pain is a heterogeneous group of disorders with recurrent low back pain over 3 months. The high incidence of lumbago is an important phenomenon in our industrial society. Patients with chronic low back pain often receive multidisciplinary treatment. The bio approach, the psycho-approach, and the social approach optimally reduce the risk of chronicity by providing rehabilitation for patients with persistent pain after the initial acute phase. Damage to the structures of the spinal cord and the occurrence of low back pain as a result of evolutionary, social and medical causes disrupt the rhythm of life and cause less or greater disability. Recovery of patients with low back pain is not limited only to influencing the pain syndrome but requires the implementation of programs to eliminate the complaints that this pathology generates in personal, family and socio-professional terms. This paper aims to familiarize the audience with the medication used, and the programs for active recovery in patients suffering from chronic low back pain.
A direct anonymous survey was conducted with 200 students of all specialties (167 women and 33 men) from the Medical University of Plovdiv, aged 18 to 25 years. Respondents answered two sets of questions that aim at distinguishing healthy eating habits and behavior, associated with this daily activity, from unhealthy habits, that are conditioned by the dynamic characteristics of today's globalizing society. The first group of 15 questions relates to circumstances, directly connected with the nutrition process and aims at detecting the frequency of harmful habits of a particular behavioral type. The second group of 3 multilevel issues specifies the spatiotemporal parameters of daily meals, as well as the habitual social environment of respondents during meals. The results show a clear tendency towards eating habits that are unfavorable to the healthy eating (eating in front of the TV or the computer, omitting meals for dietary considerations, dinner after 23.00, alcohol consumption, smoking during meals) and the presence of reactive behavioral patterns (the overwhelming majority of respondents - over 50% - ignore breakfast daily or several times a week, prefer to eat alone, do not eat regularly at certain times). The interpretation of these results leads to the elaboration of a model with sustainable elements, which characterizes the behavioral pattern of feeding in the respondents. The statistical analysis highlighted as the most important and statistically significant the following characteristics of young people's eating behavior: "To eat alone", "To eat in front of the TV", "Do not eat regularly at certain times", "Do not have breakfast in the morning" and "To eat while talking on the phone". These five elements can be defined both as a result of negative attitudes towards healthy eating habits and as factors that affect overall attitudes and eating habits of students of the target age group.
Hip arthrosis is the main cause of disability of all degenerative joint diseases and therefore it is considered to be of social significance. The presented clinical case aims to confirm the efficacy of the applied kinesitherapeutic program in conservative treatment of 62-year-old patient with right-sided coxarthrosis. The kinesitherapeutic methods included right lower limb massage, suspension therapy, tractions and manual movements of the right hip joint, positional treatment, active exercisesinan openkinetic chain, postisometric relaxation and stretching for shortened muscles.The pain symptoms were reduced, the volume of movement in the right hip increased, the strength of the right hip joint stabilizer musclespartially improved.
