Study on the integration of peripheral vision in physical education: The body as a tool for learning and balance in adolescents of the technological era.

asbstract: In the digital age, young people are immersed in a technological environment that limits physical movement and promotes fragmented perception, negatively affecting attention and motor skills. This study explores an innovative approach, integrating peripheral vision training into physical education to enhanceboth motor and cognitive aspects. The aim is to counteract the "disembodiment" typical of the post-human era, restoring the body’s central role. Fifty-six adolescents...

Constrictive Pericarditis: There Is Nothing More Deceptive than an Obvious Fact

Introduction: we discuss the clinical case of a patient referred to our cardiology unit to evaluate the need for a pericardiectomy due to constrictive pericarditis. Imaging: the echocardiographic assessment confirmed all diagnostic criteria for constrictive pericarditis; however, we conducted a cardiac MRI before referring the patient to the cardiac surgeon. This imaging technique not only confirmed the constrictive pathophysiology but also indicated extensive pericardial inflammation, consis...

Pharmacologic Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Are There More Arrows on Our Bow?

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF) represents a frequent form of PH related to left ventricular dysfunction. The pathophysiology of PH-HFpEF is intricate, and varied and includes vascular, cardiac, and pulmonary factors that contribute synergistically to developing this clinical syndrome. Improved knowledge of the pathophysiology of PH-HFpEF has paved the way for the use of new drugs such as angiotensin receptor neprilysin inh...
