Over the past 15 years, the open data movement has transformed from a niche policy initiative into a global phenomenon that touches nearly every aspect of modern society. This paper presents a comprehensive content analysis of open data research published in peer-reviewed journal articles from 2010 to 2025. Through systematic review and thematic analysis, we trace the evolution of open data research across five distinct periods: Foundation (2010-2012), Growth (2013-2016), Maturation…

Synthetic biology represents a profound transformation in the life sciences, shifting from reactive genetic manipulation to proactive, design-driven construction of biological systems. Using Bacillus subtilis genomics as a historical anchor, we trace the conceptual trajectory from genetic engineering through molecular biology to synthetic biology (SynBio), framing each transition through Thomas Kuhn’s theory of paradigm shifts. We argue that SynBio constitutes a genuine revolutionary…

This pilot study aimed to evaluate muscle resistance using a novel device (BFpress) and a newly proposed index, the Muscle Compression Resistance Index (MCRI). Data were collected from 95 participants during the 33rd Scientific Physiotherapy Conference in Athens (2026). Measurements were performed bilaterally at the L4–L5 paraspinal level.

Participants were categorized based on MCRI values: <25 kg, 25–35 kg, and >35 kg. The majority (61%) demonstrated increased muscle resistance…

This retrospective study evaluates the respiratory impact of exclusive cannabis use via traditional pipes in asthmatic patients (n=7) compared to a non-smoking control group (n=54) to assess the clinical and functional consequences of this practice. The results demonstrate increased morbidity among cannabis users, marked by a high prevalence of dry cough (71%) and dyspnea (57%), as well as significant lung function impairment with a mean FEV1 of 65% and a Tiffeneau index of 0.60. The study…

Conducted on a cohort of 150 patients followed at the Respiratory Diseases Department of the 20 August 1953 Hospital in Casablanca between 2019 and 2023, this retrospective and analytical study outlines the profile of severe asthma in a Moroccan referral center. The study population has a mean age of 36 years with a female predominance (58%) and high exposure to environmental humidity (46%), while the clinical profile is dominated by allergic rhinitis (56%) and gastroesophageal reflux…

Introduction: Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is a major cause of acquired thrombophilia, often presenting a diagnostic challenge when clinical manifestations are multifaceted. While venous thromboembolism is common, aggressive arterial involvement represents the "hidden part of the iceberg," carrying a high risk of morbidity and therapeutic failure with newer anticoagulants.

Case Presentation: A 52-year-old male with no prior risk factors…

Physiotherapy has become an essential part of forensic investigations by providing objective biomechanical and functional evidence that links injury mechanics with medico-legal assessments. Through detailed evaluations of movement patterns, tissue loading, neuromuscular function, and rehabilitation progress, physiotherapists help verify whether reported trauma corresponds with observed impairments, measure functional loss for legal or insurance claims, and offer expert testimony on…

Pregnancy-associated joint hypermobility can compromise musculoskeletal stability, impair function, and reduce quality of life, yet safe, effective interventions are scarce. We report a case of a pregnant patient with symptomatic hypermobility who completed a structured Clinical Pilates program targeting core control, postural alignment, and movement efficiency. Over the course of the intervention, the patient exhibited marked improvements in functional mobility, spinal stability, and…

Background: Prolonged smartphone usage induces habitual forward head posture and thoracic flexion, potentially disrupting the integrated spinal kinetic chain. While static postural deviations are well-documented, smartphone-related alterations in dynamic spinal movement patterns— specifically lumbo-pelvic rhythm during functional activities—remain inadequately explored. Understanding these biomechanical adaptations is critical, as abnormal lumbo-pelvic coordination…

Background: The exponential rise in smartphone usage has introduced sustained postural deviations characterized by cervical flexion and thoracic kyphosis. While static postural consequences are well-documented, the biomechanical impact on dynamic spinal load distribution during functional movement tasks remains inadequately investigated. Habitual smartphone postures may fundamentally alter neuromuscular control strategies and segmental load transfer across the kinetic chain…
