[Physiotherapy for the recreational athlete].

Physiotherapy plays a significant role in the treatment of sport injuries and can be especially adapted for this purpose. The physiotherapist has two tasks: 1. As a therapist treating a well defined pathologic entity or functional deficit. 2. Instructing the patient in further self-treatment and appropriate measures, behavioral changes and preventive approaches. The therapeutic emphasis is presented in seven interdependent groups: pain/swelling, flexibility, strength, coordination, endurance, psychological measures, preventive measures. The aim of treatment is to resume training activities. For each group there is a description of clinical symptoms, diagnosis according to functional tests and recommended treatment measures. The therapy group(s) and their priorities should be listed when making an individual therapeutic decision.

Mann-Whitney/Wilcoxon's nonparametric cumulative probability distribution.

It is demonstrated how complete nonparametric, cumulative probability distributions for Mann-Whitney/Wilcoxon's nonparametric, two-sample test can be constructed based on algorithms published earlier in this journal. These procedures provide cumulative probabilities for all possible rank sums in the nonparametric two-sample test. Separate programs for MS(PC)-DOS and Macintosh computers are offered.

Failure of liver transplantation to diminish cardiac deposits of amylopectin and leukocyte inclusions in type IV glycogen storage disease.

Orthotopic liver transplantation has been used to treat glycogen storage disease type IV. Most long-term surviving patients who have undergone liver transplantation have been free of neuromuscular and cardiac morbidity, and regression of cardiac amylopectin infiltration has been reported after liver transplantation. Leukocyte inclusions in glycogen storage disease type IV have also been reported. We present the case of a child who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation for glycogen storage disease type IV. In contrast to previous reports, at autopsy 2 1/2 years after transplantation, there was massive amylopectin deposits in his heart. Further, peripheral leukocytes never showed loss of amylopectin inclusions after transplantation. Orthotopic liver transplantation for type IV glycogen storage disease may not, in all cases, result in improvement in other affected organs. Consideration of multiorgan transplantation appears warranted.

Hepatocellular adenoma in glycogen storage disease type IV.

The development of hepatocellular adenoma has been recognized in association with glycogen storage disease type I and, less often, with glycogen storage disease type III, but, to our knowledge, it has not been reported in glycogen storage disease type IV. We had the opportunity to study an 11-month-old male infant who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation for cirrhosis that developed in the setting of glycogen storage disease type IV. A clinically unsuspected hepatocellular adenoma was present in the explanted liver. Glycogen storage disease type IV should be considered as a potential precursor to the development of hepatocellular adenoma. Recognition of this association is important, both in terms of the differential diagnosis of tumors that occur in this setting and also to anticipate potential complications of this benign neoplasm.
