Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a chronic, multifactorial syndrome with complex symptoms of orthostatic intolerance. Of the major complaints are breathlessness and exercise intolerance. The aim is to explore the potential impact of a physiotherapy intervention involving education and breathing control on dysfunctional breathing and improving exercise intolerance in POTS. The study would be a randomised controlled trial. Duration would be 4 week. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups by lottery method. Data will be collected through questionnaire from enrolled subjects in physical therapy department of Liaqat Hospital, Lahore. Experimental group will be treated by Progressive Breathing Retraining Exercise Program-2 times a day for 15 minutes, initially Controlled Nasal Breathing with progressively increasing the Controlled Pause, 4 times a day for 15 minutes, then both techniques will be performed together. In addition to this Aerobic training will be assigned to both the groups. Aerobic training will include cycling and treadmill- for 30 minutes\day for 5 days\week for 1 month. Total 20 sessions. While the controlled group will receive only aerobic training which will include cycling and treadmill for 30 minutes\day for 5 days\week for 1 month. Total 20 sessions. The dysfunctional breathing and exercise intolerance will be assessed through Nijmegen Questionnaire and Veterans Questionnaire respectively at 0 week, after 2 week and after 4 week. The data will be analyzed by spss version 25.
The aim of study will be to find the effects of fascial distortion model (FDM) with and without the Integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) in piriformis syndrome.
Subacromial Impingement Syndrome is one of the most common shoulder pathologies causing shoulder pain, functional disability and reduced quality of life. This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of posterior capsule stretching and posterior mobilization on shoulder joint functions in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.
COVID-19 is an emerging pandemic disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). Although the majority of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms, some patients develop severe symptoms that can protractedly impair their quality of life and functional capacity. SARS-CoV-2 is closely related to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) with direct and indirect effects on several systems, especially the musculoskeletal system, in addition to the respiratory system. Some of these symptoms persist for a long period, called Post-Covid-19 Syndrome, directly interfering with the functional capacity and quality of life of these participants. Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation exercises are focused on restoring functional capacity in patients affected by cardiopulmonary diseases. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional effects of a quarterly Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation exercise program for participants with post-COVID-19 syndrome. The secondary objectives will be: To compare the effects of a supervised program of 12 weeks of supervised exercises and a program of self-performed home exercises, guided by an exercise booklet, of the same duration on muscle strength and peripheral resistance; Compare the effects of a 12-week supervised exercise program and a self-performed home exercise program, guided by an exercise booklet, of the same duration on levels of fatigue and dyspnea in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome; Compare the effects of a 12-week supervised exercise program and a self-performed home exercise program, guided by an exercise booklet, of the same duration on health-related quality of life and post-COVID-19 functional status.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical syndrome of inflammatory lung injury characterized by increased pulmonary vascular permeability, loss of aerated lung tissue, severe hypoxemia and impaired compliance. Despite the advance in the critical care technology, the mortality of ARDS remains high in the last decades. Glucocorticoids have profound anti-inflammatory actions through the pleiotropic effects of the glucocorticoid receptor, which are considering a promising pharmacological therapy to mitigate the inflammatory lung injury and subsequent fibrosis in ARDS. Previous clinical trials have repeatedly tested the efficacy of glucocorticoid therapy in ARDS; however, the data about hard outcomes, such as mortality, are inconsistent between these studies. Investigators designed a 3x2 factorial trial of glucocorticoid therapy in ARDS to test the effects of glucocorticoid dosages (dose 0, dose 0.5 mg/kg, and dose 1 mg/kg of methylprednisolone equivalence) and durations (prolonged and short duration) on the treatment efficacy. In addition, investigators will measure the change of inflammatory biomarkers for post-hoc analysis to explore whether biomarkers could be used to guide patient selection and steroid tapering.
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is a class I recommendation for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. However, participate rate of outpatient rehabilitation is quite low and remains a global issue. The study is to propose a strategy in order to encourage post-ACS patients to participate in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation.
The medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) score was originally developed in Dutch to assess severity of disease relative to patient-reported outcome, particularly patients with MTSS. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the MTSS score into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties.
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS; OMIN #209900) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by six core features: rod-cone dystrophy (retinitis pigmentosa), polydactyly, obesity, genital anomalies, renal anomalies, and learning difficulties. This study aims to contribute to genetic and medical knowledge of BBS, and to provide information on quality of life in adults with BBS and their close relatives. Participants will undergo medical assessments (ocular, oral, and physical examinations) and self-reporting of quality of life, diet, cognitive and emotional symptoms. There are some known genotype-phenotype associations in BBS and participants will be offered genetic testing. It is important to map both genotype and associated phenotype in order to provide optimal treatment and follow-up. Individuals with BBS, age 16 years or older, will be invited to participate. The investigators expect to enroll at least 25 male and female adults with BBS and 15 of their parents to participate in qualitative interviews. These interviews will investigate parents' experiences having a child with BBS, satisfaction with health care services, experience with social and family life, and psychological health.
One of the ways that cancer grows and spreads is by avoiding the immune system.NK cells are immune cells that kill cancer cells, but are often malfunctioning in people with colorectal cancer and blood cancers. A safe way to give people with colorectal cancer and blood cancers fresh NK cells from a healthy donor has recently been discovered. The purpose of this study is to show that using two medicines (vactosertib and IL-2) with NK cells will be safe and will activate the donor NK cells. NK cells and vactosertib are experimental because they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). IL-2 (Proleukin®) has been approved by the FDA for treating other cancers, but the doses used in this study are lower than the approved doses and it is not approved to treat colorectal cancer or blood cancers.
