Introduction: Chronic noncommunicable diseases account for 82% of all deaths in Chile, they are associated with modifiable risk factors within those diet and physical activity. Physical education students do not have different eating patterns to those of other college students are more active but as subjects, should manifest more acceptable parameters regarding the average population. Objective: Knowing the nutritional status, cardiovascular risk and blood glucose level of university students of Pedagogy in Physical Education (EUEF). Material and methods: The research provides a non-experimental, descriptive, transversal, with a quantitative approach to design. The sample included 83 people, divided into 30 ladies and 53 men. It was determined in each subject BMI, cardiovascular risk, and a fasting blood glucose sample. Results: Women have an average BMI of 22.9 kg/m 2 , 0.45 waist-height ratio, an waist-wrist index of 0.75 and glucose 62.8 mg/dl, while men 24.7 kg/m 2 , 0.47, 0.83 and 72.9 mg/dl for the same values respectively. Conclusion: The nutritional status and blood sugar of EUEF found in normal and have no cardiovascular risk, it is believed that practicing physical activity plays a key role in the values obtained, however more research is needed to confirm this.
First metacarpal collapse is the main cause of recurrent pain after a total trapeziectomy. The most frequent
surgical revision is through trapeziometacarpal arthrodesis. We present the case of a woman of 62 years old
who presented pain and functional impairment of the thumb due to the collapse of the first metacarpal after
two previous surgeries for basal thumb osteoarthritis (OA). The case was treated by implanting a cup in the
distal scaphoid to create a scaphometacarpal prosthesis. After a follow-up of 8 months, the patient recovered
complete mobility, VAS of 0 and an improvement in DASH and compared to the pre-surgical scores.
Radiographic studies showed a correct implantation of the prosthesis. This is a new therapeutic option that
can be used as a rescue procedure in case of a failure of trapeziectomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
