Abstract Introduction. Enrollment of patients with cardiovascular disease in rehabilitation programs may contribute to implementation of a healthy lifestyle, including by promotion of a diet adequate for each patient’s profile. In this context, the current study is aimed at creating a traffic light system model allowing to obtain the development, innovation and diversification of menus and to improve the nutritional programs for this category of patients. Material and method. Based on the data provided by USDA Food Composition Databases, the composition in terms of different nutritive principles was determined for each ingredient and for each final menu. Comparison of menus depending on each nutritive principle, as well as comparison between menus and nutrient requirements according to indications for patients attending cardiovascular rehabilitation programs was made. Results. The traffic light system was developed, using color codes, comparing daily nutrient requirements with preparations’ content. Conclusions. The major benefit of the traffic light system would reside in the fact that starting from classic menus, an intervention on these can be achieved, and healthier, more nutritionally balanced models can be created, according to healthy nutrition principles. These new menus will be calorically and nutritionally adapted for patients attending cardiovascular rehabilitation programs. Key words: nutrition, rehabilitation, traffic light system,

Abstract Stroke is an acute hypoperfusion of cerebral parenchyma that most often leads to outstanding motor deficits that can last for the rest of the patient’s life. The purpose of the neurorehabilitation process is to limit, as far is possible for the motor deficits and to bring the patient to an independent life. A modern method consists in robotic neurorehabilitation which is more and more used, associated with functional electrical stimulation (FES). At the lower limb, the use of robotic rehabilitation associated with FES is already considered a success due to relatively stereotypical movements of the lower limb. In opposition, the upper limb is more difficult to rehabilitate due to its more complex movements. Therefore, eye-hand coordination (EHC) constitutes an important factor that is conditioning the rehabilitation progress. The eye-hand coordination can be brutally disturbed by stroke with critical consequences on motor-executive component. The EHC development depends on the interaction between a feedback complex and the prediction of the upper limb motility in the space, and requires the association between visual system, oculomotor system and hand motor system. We analyzed the stroke impact on this sensorial-motor functional integration and looked for a possible solution for the interruption of coordination between eyes and the movements of the superior limb. We consider that our study can contribute to a better understanding and to a faster rehabilitation of the motor deficit in the upper limb after stroke.

Abstract Internal carotid artery occlusion accounts for 15-20% of ischemic strokes, caused by atherosclerosis or dissection. Clinical symptoms are variable, from asymptomatic cases to minor or severe strokes. Diagnosis in internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is based on imaging techniques. Prognosis after ICA occlusion depends on many factors: severity of neurologic deficit, spontaneous recanalization of the artery, and the occurrence of recurrent strokes. Patients with spontaneous recanalization of the occluded ICA tend to have a retained functional ability and favorable clinical outcomes. Medical treatment, recanalization techniques and intensive rehabilitation program are essential in improving functional outcome of patients with stroke produced by ICA occlusion. We present the case of a young patient diagnosed with ischemic stroke produced by internal carotid artery occlusion, with consecutive severe neurologic deficit, and an unfavorable functional outcome, as evaluated with the Modified Rankin Scale. Spontaneous recanalization of the occluded ICA was observed after 6 weeks, suggesting a carotid dissection. The patient was included in an intensive rehabilitation program, associated with best medical therapy, showing improvement of its functional status at 3 months follow up.

Abstract Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis worldwide, having an incidence of about 1/100,000 across several studies in a number of countries. We present the case of a 60-year-old female patient, with known hypertension, admitted to our department for paresthesia and muscle weakness predominantly in the distal upper and lower limbs. Symptomatology had an acute onset after 14 days from influenza vaccine administration. Lumbar puncture revealed CSF glucose (91 mg/dl), CSF protein (0.508 g/l) and no pleocytosis. Electromyography supported the presumptive diagnosis of polyradiculoneuritis. The patient underwent three sessions of double filtration and the final diagnosis was Guillain-Barre polyradiculoneuritis secondary to influenza vaccination. Approximately 80% of patients with polyradiculoneuritis recover completely within a few months to one year; however, 5-10% of these patients experience one or more recurrences. It should be emphasized that acute-phase rehabilitation must start immediately and include an individualized program of gentle strengthening, and manual resistive and progressive resistive exercises. Key words: polyradiculoneuropathy, influenza vaccine, neurorehabilitation,

Abstract Introduction & objectives: Starting from the well-known functional hemispheric asymmetry and concomitantly, from the clinical findings of practitioners involved in the post-stroke rehabilitation process, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether ischemic stroke in the dominant hemisphere results in more severe initial motor deficit and if its motor recovery is decreased compared to that of the non-dominant hemisphere. Material and method: This was a retrospective study, comprising 39 patients with ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory, divided into two groups depending on the hemispheric location of the lesion (left/right). They were evaluated for their segmental muscle strength using the Medical Research Council Muscle Strength Grading Scale, both in terms of initial value and evolution between two successive admissions. Results and conclusions: No significant difference was found for motor deficit evaluated on the occasion of the first admission between patients with left-side stroke and those with right-side stroke. Motor recovery was more obvious proximally in the paretic limbs, but without statistical significance. Key words: hemispheric dominance, functional laterality, stroke, motor rehabilitation,

Abstract Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) with normal ejection fraction is considered common among people with diabetes mellitus (DM). LVDD is a progressive condition and an independent predictor of mortality in diabetic patients. The etiopathogenesis of LVDD is multifactorial, including diabetes associated comorbidities, such as hypertension, coronary atherosclerosis and obesity, as well as myocardial vascular and metabolic disturbances which lead to diabetic cardiomyopathy. Early stages of LVDD may be detected using echocardiographic techniques. Treatment strategies evolve, based on a better understanding of pathogenic mechanisms, although it is still difficult to efficiently control LVDD evolution. This review synthesizes the main pathophysiological processes and clinical features that characterize DM associated LVDD. Among treatment options, the therapeutic relevance of exercise training programs is underlined. Key words: diabetes mellitus, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, physical training,

Abstract Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis (NCFB) are characterised by abnormal, permanently damaged and dilated bronchi due to the innapropiate clearence of various microorganisms and recurrent chronic infections.The diagnosis is suggested by the clinical presentation and is confirmed by multiple investigations. There are some comorbidities associated with bronhciectasis, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disorders, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), psychological illnesses, pulmonary hypertension, obstructive apnea syndrome(OSA). The condition has a substantial socioeconomic impact because it requests a multidisciplinary management and periods of exacerbations are common. The aims of the management of bronchiectasis are to reduce symptoms (such as sputum volume and purulence, cough and dyspnea), reduce the frequency and severity of exacerbations, preserve lung function and improve health-related quality of life. The multidisciplinary approach of bronchiectasis patients require along with the medical treatment, a specific plan of nonphamarcological strategies, including balneological intervention. There are a lot of techniques improving the airway clearence, such as: active cycle of breathing techniques (which include breathing control, thoracic expansion exercises, forced expiratory technique), oscilatting possitive expiratory pressure, autogenic drainage, gravity-assisted-positioning, modified postural drainage. Together with specific medication, these techniques can diminuate symptoms and improve the quality of life. Key words: NCFB, airway clearence, physiotherapy,

Abstract Visual rehabilitation therapy is one of the most problematic issue in stroke rehabilitation. The difficulties consist in specific assessment of visual deficit and poor results reports by the authors of the clinical studies. Opposite, experimental studies reports encouraging results that give hopes in this specific rehabilitation therapy. There are still difficult to analyze different aquisitions concerning various visual residual deficits after stroke, the main rehabilitation targgets being motor rehabilitation in order to ensure at least a partial autonomy in day by day life. All the studies that proved there are chances for a better quality of life if there is an improvement of visual abilities together with motor and cognitive skills with a better rehabilitation prognosis. The aim of this paper is to make a brief report regarding two of the most important visual deficits after stroke as are homonymous hemianopsia and neglect. Starting with differential diagnosis, neuroplasticity and specific rehabilitation available method, the main issues are discussed. a better understanding of phenomena that are associated with spontaneous rehabilitation, or enhancing the progress of recuperation by various method, could be able to bring a new light and hopefully better results in rehabilitation for these patients Key words: stroke, visual impairment, visual rehabilitation, neuroplasticity, homonymous hemianopsia,
