Introduction: smartphone use has substantially increased in the past decade, becoming an important part in population's usual activities, but the relationship between smartphone addiction, smartphone use, and neck disability in adults remains uncertain. The objective of this study: (1) investigate the association between neck disability and smartphone use time with socio-demographic characteristics, musculoskeletal symptoms, and smartphone addiction among university students; and (2) assess the association between smartphone addiction with socio-demographic characters, musculoskeletal symptoms.
Methods: 228 students (74 males and 154 females; average age 29.41 years old) were enrolled in the study. Participants answered questions about sociodemographic characteristics, smartphone time use, smartphone addiction (SAS-SV), musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck and upper limb, and neck disability (NDI).
Results: individuals with neck disability were associated with, gender, general health, presence of neck and shoulder pain, and smartphone addiction. More time spent on smartphones was associated with some socio-demographic characteristics, the presence of shoulder pain, and smartphone addiction.
Conclusions: smartphone addiction was associated with lower age, higher educational level, neck disability, and smartphone time use in students.

This paper is a comprehensive review of the historical and conceptual development of psychotherapy, highlighting its evolution from a predominantly biological approach to a more integrative one that includes psychological and therapeutic methods. Psychotherapy, derived from the Greek roots "psyche" (mind) and "therapeia" (treatment), focuses on the treatment of mental and emotional problems through various psychological techniques. Originating from different psychological theories, psychotherapy has evolved into a diversified field with multiple approaches, including biological, behavioral, cognitive, and humanistic-existentialist. The history of mental health treatments is addressed, from ancient practices based on magic and bodily moods to the development of more modern techniques such as animal magnetism, hypnosis, and behavioral therapy. The contemporary approach to psychotherapy recognizes the importance of cognitions and metacognitions in mental health. Third-generation therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, emphasize the importance of context and adaptability in the treatment of mental disorders.

Background: In the 21st century, community-acquired pneumonia constitutes the most frequent cause of death of infectious etiology in developed countries, contributing to high incidence, morbidity and mortality. Respiratory failure caused by pneumonia generates a significant compromise in oxygenation, where therapy is essential. Recently, high-flow oxygen therapy has emerged as an alternative to conventional oxygen therapy in patients with severe respiratory failure. High-flow oxygen therapy consists of the application of a gas flow of up to 60 L/min through nasal cannulas. This system is tolerable by the patient because the inspired gas is heated and humidified (temperature 34-37°C, generating a relative humidity of 100%). The effects of high-flow nasal cannula therapy are: less dilution of administered oxygen with room air, decreased dead space (and carbon dioxide scavenging), generation of positive airway pressure, increased circulating volume, decreased respiratory work and improved mucociliary transport. Material and methods: The study design is a systematic review for which a search and evaluation of the existing literature and previous research on high-flow nasal cannula was carried out through the databases of Pubmed, Google Academic, Cochrane Library, among others. . For this, inclusion criteria were used: adult patients over 18 years of age, patients with hypoxemia failure with pneumonia pathology, de novo hypoxemia. Written in Spanish and English. Results: An exhaustive bibliographic search was carried out through various academic storage sites such as Pubmed, Google Academic, Cohrane Library, among others. A total of 146 articles were found respecting the inclusion criteria, 9 were used to carry out this work. Conclusion: There are many pathologies that cause hypoxemia, this being a cause of great mortality. Describe the implementation of the use of high-flow nasal cannula, as well as its advantages compared to standard oxygen therapy treatments, offering medical personnel an alternative to having orotracheal intubation as the first choice. This provides great benefits to the patient, such as a shorter hospital stay. Reduces hospital and specialized personnel costs, the treatment with a high-flow nasal cannula is easy to use and has better patient tolerance.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological condition characterized by brain changes resulting in the accumulation of specific proteins, leading to brain shrinkage and eventual cell death. It is the primary cause of dementia, resulting in a gradual decline in memory, cognition, behaviour, and social skills, impairing overall functionality. The case study involves an 84-year-old woman displaying symptoms of Alzheimer's disease requiring physiotherapy rehabilitation. Assessment reveals joint pain, abnormal gait, respiratory issues due to pneumonia, reduced balance and cognitive function, concentration difficulties, impaired decision-making, fluctuating moods, and behavioural issues such as depression and aggression. Physical examination shows shoulder shrugging and slight tension in the upper trapezius muscle. The rehabilitation program involves various interventions like stretching, strengthening, aerobic exercises, breathing exercises, lung clearance techniques, active range of motion exercises, postural control, and gait training. The role of the physiotherapist is to address the both physical and cognitive decline and improve mood and behaviour.

Introduction: Ischemic stroke stands as a leading global cause of death and disability, prompting the need for animal model experiments in stroke research and the protection of motor function. Recently, magnetic fields have gained significant interest in various biological contexts, showing promise in preserving neurons and reversing behavioral and morphological changes in stroke models. This study explores the potential synergy between static magnetic field and nAChR agonist administration in safeguarding motor behavior in ischemic gerbils.
Objective: To determine whether the combined use of a static magnetic field and an agonist for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) can preserve motor behavior in ischemic gerbils.
Methods: In this experimental study, 72 Mongolian gerbils were randomly allocated into nine groups (n=8): S, SISM, SINSM, ISM, INP, ISP, INSM, INNP, INSP, distributed according to surgical procedure and treatment. The animals were trained and evaluated on the Rotarod (RR) to assess motor performance.
Results: The main finding was the preservation of motor behavior in the Sham Ischemia and Nicotine and Sham Magnetic Stimulation (SINSM) and Ischemia and Nicotine and South Pole Magnetic Field (INSP) groups, as evidenced by the results of the RR test.
Conclusions: The findings are consistent with previous literature and provide insight into the mechanism of potentiation, as results showed that adding a nAChR agonist to the magnetic field preserved motor performance in the RR test of ischemic animals.
