A construção espírita do problema do aborto: ordem espiritual e discurso público
Authors: Barbosa Allan Wine Santos
Published: February 2020

Resumo: Este artigo discute, a partir de material etnográfico e bibliográfico, como o kardecismo concebe as implicações morais e espirituais do aborto. A interrupção voluntária da gravidez mobiliza problemas sobre as noções de indivíduo, livre-arbítrio e os desígnios de agentes espirituais, comprometendo uma discussão centrada na noção de escolha individual. O kardecismo postula um encadeamento relacional de espíritos entre encarnações, que vai além da afinidade pessoal ou biológica, remetendo a dívidas cármicas que culminam no nascimento. O aborto coloca um problema para a evolução espiritual, quebrando o que os kardecistas consideram uma das leis maiores do universo. Busco explorar tais implicações, relacionando-as aos discursos de entidades médicas ligadas à religião e tensionando a ambígua articulação espírita entre livre-arbítrio, ciência e moral.

Authors: Salort Shirlei Galarça , Bilhão Isabel Aparecida , Lopes Daniel de Queiroz
Published: February 2020

Resumo Este artigo apresenta parte dos resultados de pesquisa de uma dissertação na qual busca-se aprofundar as reflexões sobre as práticas dos bibliotecários e identificar suas percepções e sentidos sobre a atuação profissional e sobre a biblioteca universitária no contexto da cibercultura. O estudo foi realizado em uma biblioteca universitária da área médica e nele apresentam-se a trajetória e as características dessa biblioteca e identificam-se, com base em entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com oito bibliotecárias atuantes ou aposentadas, os sentidos atribuídos às práticas bibliotecárias. Percebe-se nas narrativas uma constante busca por reconhecimento e valorização da profissão, assim como a preocupação em manter a frequência dos usuários ao espaço físico da biblioteca estudada. Dentre as modificações percebidas nessa atuação, nota-se que o sentido de “mediador” passa a dar espaço ao sentido de “educador” e a postura de “esperar o usuário” passa a dar lugar a de “buscar o usuário”, o que demonstra uma inquietação com relação ao futuro da biblioteca e da atuação do bibliotecário. Assim como identificam-se sentidos que podem indicar estratégias de manutenção da cultura profissional e da permanência no mercado de trabalho.

The Study of Russian-Chinese Problems of Border Delimitation in the Late 17th - Early 18th Centuries by the Head of the Academic Squad G.F. Miller
Authors: Bespalko Denis
Published: February 2020

The article reviews the first attempts of combined approach to the study of cross-border problems that came to a head between Russia and China in the end of the 17th — beginning of 18th centuries by head of the academic detachment G.F. Miller.
The relations of the two states in the designated period of time were quite complex and intense. Conditions for the development of normal political and economic ties, exchange of cultural and historical experience as such did not exist. The Chinese side traditionally considered its neighbors «uneducated barbarians» and did not seek to find good neighborly points of support. The Russian state did not have sufficient forces to fully integrate the eastern frontiers and implement active policies of integrating the south-eastern territories into its sphere of influence, still tried to expand into Transbaikalia, the Amur region and further on in the Far East. By founding new fortresses, barracks, and border posts in the 17th century Russia created the most important strategic base to move to the east, which China attempted to prevent in the strongest possible terms.
This confrontation turned into a local-regional conflict with subsequent military confrontation and the emergence of a top-priority problem in the form of the Amur issue with mutual territorial claims. The head of the academic detachment GF Miller studied the nuances and tried to solve the regional problem theoretically. The researcher carefully examined a huge number of different sources and wrote a number of works. The conclusions he presented, however, were perceived by contemporaries ambiguously and in most cases did not find practical implementation. Nevertheless, G.F. Miller was the first scientist who consistently tried to understand the conflicts of the border armed conflict between the Russian and the Chinese state at the turn of the 17th — 18th centuries.

The predictive role of serum copeptin levels in preeclampsia: a meta-analysis v1
Authors: Bellos Ioannis , Pergialiotis Vasilios , Papapanagiotou Angeliki , Loutradis Dimitrios , Daskalakis Georgios
Published: February 2020

Preeclampsia represents a major pregnancy complication associated with high fetal and maternal morbidity rates. Early prediction of the disease is essential to effectively discriminate the population of pregnant women that would benefit the most from preventive measures, especially aspirin administration. Nonetheless, the best screening model to be widely used in clinical practice remains under investigation. The present systematic review aims to accumulate current literature evidence in order to compare copeptin concentration among normotensive and preeclamptic women and find out whether its serum level alteration precedes the onset of the disease. All observational studies will be held eligible. Medline, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and Web of Science databases will be searched form inception. The main outcome of interest will be the comparison of copeptin levels between the preeclamptic and the normotensive groups of pregnant women. A random-effects statistical model will be used to provide pooled estimates of standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals. Subgroup analysis will be performed on the basis of trimester at sampling (1st, 2nd or 3rd), preeclampsia severity (mild or severe) and onset (early or late).

Mapping and Counting High-Intensity Perineuronal Nets in the Somatosensory Cortex v2
Authors: Layo Dana , Y.B. Lau Billy , Krishnan Keerthi
Published: February 2020

The purpose of this protocol is to outline the process by which we count high-intensity perineuronal nets (PNNs) in whole brain analysis. Specifically, high-intensity PNNs within the primary somatosensory cortex of adult mouse brain sections cut in a sagittal orientation. This protocol accompanies the paper “Lateralized expression of cortical perineuronal nets during maternal experience is dependent on MECP2” (https://doi.org/10.1101/787267). First, we align a digital map from the Franklin & Paxinos Mouse Brain Atlasonto individual brain sections. We then explain the process by which the S1 and its subregions areoutlined based on this atlas overlay. Finally, we outline the process of counting high-intensity PNNs within these regions. High-intensity PNNs are thought to be more mature structures due to a larger accumulation of the proteoglycans that make-up the structures1–3. We look at PNNs as a marker for changes in experience-dependent plasticity within the brain, where it can inhibit plasticity or solidify the changes that occurred in response to an experience. Video tutorial accompanying this protocol: Different regions of the mouse brain have differing densities of PNNs. Adult somatosensory cortex has the highest density based on what we have observed. This protocol can also be used to count all PNNs, just skip the contrast step (7.2) in PNN analysis. Citations 1.Slaker, M. L., Harkness, J. H. & Sorg, B. A.

Crisis of modern visual practices
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Tapol A. I.
Published: February 2020

The article focuses on the analysis of the liquefaction of basic settings of the modernity's visual practises, specifically of signification regime and mode. The general dynamics of historical types of visual practices and the role of the Modern vision regime in it are described. The visual parameters of the signifying modes of realism and modernism are defined. The crisis of modern visual practices is specified through the logic of their transformation. The status of photography as the basic visual practice of the modernism signifying mode is proved. From the beginning of the era of "technical production" the pathos of the position of the artist as the producer of the image requires not only the act of creation, but also the aim of commercialization, which entails the act of "exhibiting", a certain way of presentation. An important aspect of the artist's mission is to move the image from the everyday and profane (if we resort to aesthetic categorical apparatus) spheres to the space of the artistic field. A striking example of the dilution of the visual parameters of high Modernity is photography. The lens becomes the mediator of the act of seeing the person, and subject-object relations with the world break because of the mediocrity of the photographic image, which promotes its reality. Photo documentation creates a new form of perception of time – fragments in which some events are identified as important and some remain peripheral. If an artist thinks of painting (Cézanne's thought) and has creative thinking, then a photographer who thinks of frames only reduces being to the individual. A photo does not simply reflect reality, it reproduces reality, that is, it transfers it from thing to reproduction of things, photography carries the existence of a photographed object. And as a result, we recognize that the photographic image is the object itself. Photography as an image begins to organize not only high culture, but also everyday life, being the basis of visuality and the basis of everyday social practices. The transformations that photo-images make to the parameters of Modernity's visuals form the basis for visual postmodernism.
City and park: vizualization of meanings
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Grytsenko V.S.
Published: February 2020

The article is devoted to the interdependent identification of the city and park, which is carried out visualizing the opposition of their essential senses. In order to manage the traditional models of their consideration as separations, situationally constituent within the territorial union, the bases for examining the city as a space for the restoration of the human being and the need for its adequate, ontologically based, interdisciplinary studies, have been analysed. In this context, the park is considered as a visual legitimator of the city; the city is like the open dynamic structure that is in need of different, including indirect identificators. In such a way, a new – correlational – model of their study has been proposed, built on the visual ability to fix and covey the meanings. The visions of the city as the dominant territory of modern human implementation have real foundations resulting in the development of the relevant theoretical discourse, which is intended to find correct explanations. At this point, there is a connection of the city in its comprehensive value with the unified human being, which is the epicenter of the human matter realization – and in the processes of its permanent resurrection, and its own creativity as well. The force field of their attractive interaction foremost are man-made locations of the unutility nature, which represent the internal resource of decoding the humanistic symbolic signs. Absolute leaders in this essence are the parks designated in the city-building in the capacity of all recreational areas. In the visible picture of the city – its multivisuality – they have special words expressed by the way of visualization. Their use is optics directed to the depth of the human being. The park, built into the urban system, sharpens it as much as possible, facilitated by the controversy with the garden, in the visual text of which it fulfills a human saving function. Simultaneously, the park visions crystallize the semiosis of the city as a space of life-saving pragmatics.
Transformations of the architecture symbolic language in the modern city space: the dialogue and confrontation collisions
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Stoian S. P.
Published: February 2020

The article analyzes the transformation of the architecture symbolic language in modern cities, which is associated with the practice of actively updating the urban space through the implementation of innovative and sometimes extremely radical architectural projects. An attempt is being made, from standpoint of the time distance to assess the change in views on extremely controversial structures, the construction of which at one time caused great scandals and devastating criticism, but with the change of cultural priorities and values, they became houses of worship and symbols of famous European cities. Over the last century, each and all of the fields of culture have undergone significant changes, including the visual sphere, with such an important component as architecture, which for thousands of years has transmitted non-verbal information about the cultural specificity of the past through thousands of visual symbolic codes. As for now, the viability and allowability issue of radical transformations of urban architectural space under the influence of new technologies and innovative trends is extremely acute. The traditions and innovations problem, the need to involve cultural experts in order to preserve the unique historical spaces of world-famous landmarks, requires a great deal of attention from cultural experts, who should carry out a thorough analysis of the problem and formulate practical advice for resolving debates on shaping the architectural space of modern cities. In an effort to distance itself from the extremely radical critical views of contemporary architectural innovations, the focus is on finding sound solutions to the dramatic transformations of historic centers of contemporary cities that must be made with cultural experts and professionals of the relevant field involvement.

Authors: Sabaev A V , Goleva O P
Published: February 2020

Aim. To study the dynamics of mortality rates in the Omsk region as a result of acute poisoning and toxic effects for 20092018.

Methods. In the statistical processing of research materials, alternative (intensive indicators) analysis and graphical analysis methods were used, time-series parameters were calculated, time series was modelled on the basis of the approximating function using a polynomial of the 2nd degree.

Results. In the Omsk region the mortality rate recorded due to acute poisoning and exposure to toxic substances decreased by 2.0 times during the survey period, including decrease in the urban population by 2.3 times and among rural residents by 1.5 times. The mortality rate of the population due to the toxic effects of alcohol and its surrogates was decreased by 2.0 times, due to narcotic substances 6.5 times, due to corrosive poisons 2.0 times, due to toxic gases 2.1 times, due to non-classified poisons 3.0 times. The dynamics of mortality as a result of drug poisoning and poisoning by industrial poisons in the region was unstable, decrease in the level of indicators by the end of the analyzed period is statistically insignificant. Since 2015, fatal cases of toxic effects of psychodysleptics based on modern modified substances with narcotic effects were recorded in the region; by the end of the study period, mortality increased by 77.0% due to this pathology, which has a statistically significant confirmation.

Conclusion. With an obvious improvement in the medical and demographic indicators due to poisoning and toxic effects in the region, there are changes associated with the emergence and spread of new chemicals with narcotic effects that affect the formation of the toxicological situation in the region.

Published: February 2020

The Pacific coast of the contiguous United States hosts the highest seismic risk in the country due to the intersection of high-seismic hazard and the high densities of population and infrastructure. The regional seismic networks in Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and California have operated for many years and have collected long catalogs and large amounts of seismic waveform data in a variety of formats, including digital records. These data are available for engineering purposes and research into earthquakes, other natural and man-made seismic sources, and the Earth’s structure. The West Coast networks are closely coordinating as they embark on the implementation of West Coast ShakeAlert, an earthquake early warning system.
Reflexões sobre a Interdisciplinaridade em Livros Didáticos de História: um Olhar Sobre o Ensino do Regime Ditatorial Brasileiro
Authors: Alves Alison Sullivan de Sousa , Silva Francisco Vieira da
Published: February 2020

O conceito e a perspectiva de interdisciplinaridade em conteúdo dos livros didáticos de História nos levam a refletir acerca de como as disciplinas escolares se comunicam entre si no quesito interdisciplinar em suas práticas de ensino e aprendizagem. Desse modo, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar alguns conceitos interdisciplinares para o ensino e a aprendizagem escolar. Para tanto, pretende-se comparar alguns conceitos de interdisciplinaridade e a sua aplicação em sala de aula a partir de propostas do livro didático de História no tocante ao Regime Militar Brasileiro. Assim, utilizaremos como referencial teórico Thiesen (2007) e suas proposições acerca da interdisciplinaridade como movimento articulador no processo ensino-aprendizagem. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um estudo descritivo-interpretativo de natureza qualitativa. No que toca especificamente ao ensino de História, observamos que o tratamento dispensado ao regime ditatorial brasileiro poderia lançar mão de reflexões produzidas noutros campos do saber, como os estudos da ciência política e da sociologia. Assim, a temática em foco seria entrevista a partir de diferentes vieses, tornando o ensino de História produtivo e significativo. A quase inexistência da interdisciplinaridade na educação básica é fruto de uma lógica acadêmica pautada na tradição positivista que compartimentou o saber em disciplinas, especializando as ciências e, com isso, fragmentando o conhecimento. Palavras-chave: Educação Básica. Aprendizagem. Autoritarismo. AbstractThe concept and perspective of interdisciplinarity in the content of History textbooks lead us to reflect on how school subjects relate to one another in the interdisciplinary aspect of their teaching and learning practices. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze some interdisciplinary concepts for teaching and learning. Therefore, it is intended to compare some concepts of interdisciplinarity and its use in the classroom based on proposals taken from the History textbook content concerning to Brazilian Military Government. For this purpose, we will use as theoretical framework Thiesen (2007) and his propositions about interdisciplinarity. Methodologically, it is a descriptive-interpretative study of qualitative nature. With regard specifically to the teaching of history, we observed that the treatment of the Brazilian dictatorial regime could use reflections produced in other fields of knowledge, such as the studies of political science and sociology. Thus, the theme in focus would be interview from different biases, making the teaching of history productive and meaningful. The almost nonexistence of interdisciplinarity in basic education is the result of an academic logic based on the positivist tradition that compartmentalized knowledge in disciplines, specializing the sciences and, thus, fragmenting knowledge. Keywords: Basic Education.

FISSURE CARIES: DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS OF CURATION IN THE SCHOOL DENTAL OFFICE
Authors: Muratova Leysan , Ismagilov Oskar , Statseva Elena , Ablyazov Aydar
Published: February 2020

Subject. The problem of fissure caries remains one of the key in modern cariesology. For individual prevention, the most effective is the method of sealing fissures and fossae of the surface of the teeth. By sealing (sealing) fissures, the creation of a physical barrier for cariogenic factors and microbial plaque, remineralization of hard tooth tissues is achieved.

The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of fissure sealing in 9-year-old children living in Kazan.

Methodology. The study was conducted using the clinical method and statistical analysis of the data. In total, 137 children aged 9 years old, studying in the third grades of the gymnasium No. 102 of Kazan, took part in it. The main group included 82 schoolchildren who performed non-invasive fissure sealing (the first permanent molars) with UltraSeal XT plus sealant, the comparison group consisted of 55 students who did not have fissure sealing.

Results. After 12 months, out of 165 teeth previously coated with sealant, sealant on 95 teeth was completely preserved (57.6 % of cases), sealant fell out or partially retained (tooth is intact) in 36.4 %, fissure caries at the place of sealant was detected in 6.1 % The effectiveness of fissure sealing, which consists in maintaining a healthy masticatory surface of hard tooth tissues, after 12 months of follow-up was 91.9 % with a reduction of caries of 76.7 %. A comparison of the data clearly showed that the condition of the first molars, which was used to seal the fissures, allows us to talk about the preservation of intact fissures in 88 % of cases, while 56 % of unsealed molars are prone to caries of fissures and only 44 % remain intact after a year.

Conclusions. A clinical study confirms that sealing fissures is a reliable and reasonable method for the prevention of fissure caries.
ISSUE OF DETAILING THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF CONGENITAL CLEFT UPPER LIP AND PALATE
Authors: Rogozhina Yulia , Blohina Svetlana , Bimbas Evgeniya
Published: February 2020

Subject. Congenital cleft of the upper lip and palate is one of the most common malformations of the maxillofacial region which percentage is 86-88 %. This defect causes a complex set of anatomical and functional changes in the structures of the face and palate, it negatively affects the development of the child's body, therefore, it requires competent definition and extensive professional knowledge on its systematization and early elimination.
The purpose of research — study of the incidence of asymmetric cleft lip and palate on children and complement the clinical and anatomical classification of clefts options asymmetry of the affected tissues.
Methodology. There was carried out a retrospective statistical analysis of case histories of 687 patients with congenital cleft of the upper lip and / or palate, who received treatment on the basis of State Autonomic Health Institution of the Sverdlovsk Region Multiprofile Clinical Medical Center «Bonum» for the period 2015—2019 with the determination of the variety of types of lesions.
Results. Asymmetry of the affected tissues occurred in 8.59 % of cases of the total number of children (687 patients) who was born with maxillofacial pathology of the upper lip and palate which required clarification of the clinical anatomical classification and the choice of individual treatment tactics. A clinical and anatomical classification that takes into account asymmetric clefts of the upper lip and palate was proposed.
Conclusions. The allocation of asymmetric clefts of the upper lip and palate into certain groups of lesions and an assessment of their frequency made it possible to present a classification of this type of defect, which expanded the idea of the variety of anomalies of the maxillofacial region. The classification we proposed takes into account in more detail the clinical features of the congenital cleft of the upper lip and palate and, thus, more fully meets the clinical requirements and international standards, which allowed us to develop new methods of surgical treatment of congenital cleft of the upper lip and palate, as well as to build management tactics for such patients together with other specialists.

The goal is to assess the characteristics of clinical manifestations and quality of life in patients with typical, exudative-hyperemic and erosive-ulcerative forms of lichen planus, living in the cities of Ufa and Omsk.

Methodology. The study involved 50 patients with an established diagnosis of lichen planus, aged 35 to 65 years (39 women and 11 men). We used such methodological tools as a comprehensive dental, clinical examination, a questionnaire method using a questionnaire to assess the quality of life of patients with diseases of the oral mucosa, as well as a simplified validated version of the OHIP-49-RU questionnaire.

Results. A study of the risks of developing lichen planus of the oral mucosa showed that the main factors of its development are stressful situations (36 %) and prosthetics (18 %), aggravation of somatic diseases was noted by 14 %, heredity — 6 %, 26 % of the respondents could not correlate the occurrence of this diseases with the influence of any of the above causative factors.

The lowest level of quality of life was in patients with an erosive-ulcerative form of the disease, the total index of which was 27.2 %, which is higher than with typical and exudative-hyperemic forms, by 6.6 and 2.2 %, respectively.

Conclusions. The presented data deserve attention as key parameters for the further study of this disease, as well as the study of new diagnostic methods and the development of therapeutic and preventive measures.
AGE ASPECTS OF TREATMENT OF TEETH DISCOLORITIS
Authors: Titova Ol'ga
Published: February 2020

Subject. The results of a number of modern psychological and sociological studies indicate that a person’s appearance can have a very strong and direct influence on the perception of a person by other people, as well as his self-perception and self-esteem. Currently, one of the generally accepted criteria for beauty, health and success of a person is a white-toothed smile. Therefore, it is completely natural that tooth whitening is currently acquiring significant significance not only in terms of aesthetics, but also social success.

The goal is to study the need for treatment of dental discoloritis in people of different ages.

Methodology. The data of the annual reports of Reaviz Medical University (Samara) for the period from 2017 to 2019 were studied. The results were subjected to statistical processing.

Results. The need for the treatment of dental discoloritis is very high in the group of people from 21 to 26 years old, both men and women. The turnover of this contingent for the purpose of teeth whitening is constantly increasing. This is quite natural, since it is precisely at a young age that the value of the aesthetics of a smile is especially great.

Conclusions. There is a need to search and develop new methods, tools and methods for treating dental discolorites, combining high efficiency and safety in order to use them in young patients and increase satisfaction with the quality of dental care. In addition, the results obtained should be taken into account when developing marketing activities for dental services, as well as for teeth whitening.
Binaural interaction component in auditory evoked potentials: characteristics and potential applications in audiology
Authors: Nicknejad Roya , Zamiri Abdollahi Farzaneh
Published: February 2020

Background and Aim: Since the first report of recording the binaural interaction component (BIC) in 1970, many studies have been con­ducted on BIC but none of them make its way to clinical application yet. The present paper aims at reviewing the characteristics and potential applications of BIC in audiology.
Recent Findings: BIC may be a potentially sensitive objective tool in identifying subjects with auditory processing disorders and moni­toring auditory training effects. It can also help effective electrode insertion in bilateral cochlear implantation. Besides, BIC has shed light on the binaural processing maturation in infants. BIC recoding faces some difficulties as it is sensitive to noise and presentation rate, and has low amp­litude, especially in brainstem level. These iss­ues might contribute to its limited clinical app­lications.
Conclusion: Although BIC has not been int­roduced as an objective tool for testing binaural processing, it has the potential to be a reliable test. Furthermore, BIC may be used in situations where no behavioral test can be conducted. Such circumstances are during cochlear implan­tation or testing uncooperative pre-school chil­dren for auditory processing or the lack of standard behavioral tests for them. Further res­earch on BIC is highly recommended before it can gain any clinical application.

Auditory recognition of Persian digits in presence of speech-spectrum noise and multi-talker babble: a validation study
Authors: Ebrahimi Amin , Mahdavi Mohammad Ebrahim , Jalilvand Hamid
Published: February 2020

Background and Aim: Digits are suitable speech materials for evaluating recognition of speech-in-noise in clients with the wide range of language abilities. Farsi Auditory Recognition of Digit-in-Noise (FARDIN) test has been deve­loped and validated in learning-disabled child­ren showing dichotic listening deficit. This stu­dy was conducted for further validation of FARDIN and to survey the effects of noise type on the recognition performance in individuals with sensory-neural hearing impairment.
Methods: Persian monosyllabic digits 1−10 were extracted from the audio file of FARDIN test. Ten lists were compiled using a random order of the triplets. The first five lists were mixed with multi-talker babble noise (MTBN) and the second five lists with speech-spectrum noise (SSN). Signal- to- noise ratio (SNR) var­ied from +5 to −15 in 5 dB steps. 20 normal hearing and 19 hearing-impaired individuals participated in the current study.
Results: Both types of noise could differentiate the hearing loss from normal hearing. Hearing-impaired group showed weaker performance for digit recognition in MTBN and SSN and needed 4−5.6 dB higher SNR (50%), compared to the normal hearing group. MTBN was more challenging for normal hearing than SSN.
Conclusion: Farsi Auditory Recognition of Digit-in-Noise is a validated test for estimating SNR (50%) in clients with hearing loss. It seems SSN is more appropriate for using as a back­ground noise for testing the performance of aud­itory recognition of digit-in-noise.

Published: February 2020

Background and Aim: Balance disorder is a common problem in post stroke patients. Vibration therapy is one of the interventions that is used to treat this impairment in physiotherapy. There are several studies on the effects of more affected foot plantar vibration on balance, however according to the researchers this cerebral lesion causes bilateral side effects in the body. So the aim of this study was to investigate the shortterm effects of both feet plantar vibration on the balance of post stroke patients. Methods: This pretest-posttest clinical study included 12 post stroke patients (8 male and 4 female, mean age 52.41 ± 9.03 years). The participants received one session of 5-min vibration stimuli (frequency, 100 Hz) to the plantar region on both feet. Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) score and plantar cutaneous sensation by Semmes Weinstein monofilament examination (SWME) were assessed before and immediately after the intervention. Results: Mini-BESTest mean total score improved significantly (p ≤ 0.001) after both feet vibration and these results were supported by a large effect size (Cohen d = 2.83). Mean number of detected points by SWME decreased after vibration therapy (p = 0.06) but it was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The findings suggest that local vibration applied directly to the plantar region of both feet in post-stroke patients could be an appropriate physiotherapy intervention to improve their balance.
