Smartphones and tablets are increasingly widespread mobile technological devices used for many purposes such as communication, transportation, entertainment, education and security. Increasing use of mobile technology leads to various symptoms such as insomnia, difficulty concentrating and anxiety, especially musculoskeletal problems. "Text neck" is a musculoskeletal problem seen in individuals who use smartphones and tablets for a long time due to increased head and neck flexion posture. It causes neck, back, shoulder, and head pain, insomnia, tingling and numbness in the hands. Implementation of exercise programs for both preventive and therapeutic purposes is one of the main goals in this picture dominated by posture and pain problems. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) treatment technique; In the 1940s by H. Kabat and M. Knott, PNF was expressed as a means of facilitating neuromuscular responses by stimulation of proprioceptors. It is stated that it increases joint stabilization, strength, normal range of motion, endurance and circulation and is effective in improving coordination. Although PNF techniques have been used for different spinal problems, there is no study investigating PNF techniques in text neck syndrome. The study was aimed to compare the effect of a method including muscle relaxation in the anterior elevation direction and repetition techniques in the posterior depression direction from PNF neck patterns on pain intensity, neck normal range of motion, neck muscle endurance, posture and functionality in individuals with text neck syndrome with another method including ergonomic adjustments and simple cervical exercises recommended in the literature to be included in standard treatment.
This was a randomized controlled study. The infants enrolled were randomly divided into the IOE group (with Intermittent Oro-Esophageal Tube Feeding, n=25) and the PNG group (with Nasogastric Tube Feeding, n=23), all receiving systemic therapy. Before and after 4-week treatment, pulmonary infection, swallowing function, nutritional status and body weight between the two group were compared.
Upper cross syndrome is relative prevalent 67% musculoskeletal disorder among general population due to increased usage of smart gadgets and poor postural habits. Upper cross syndrome is known for initiating malfunction of cervical and upper back muscles also associated with respiration. Individuals with upper cross syndrome may present with relaxed supine positioning, they may having normal respiratory mechanics but might be converted to accessory muscles activated pattern. Neck pain is the most common type of pain in non-traumatic conditions, affecting about 75.7% of people. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of segmental and pursed lip breathing exercises on pain, functional disability and quality of life in population with upper cross syndrome. Current study will be randomized controlled trial conducted at Ismail Medicare Jhang, 40 patients according to inclusion criteria will be included in the study. They will be allocated into 2 groups by non-probability purposive sampling technique. Group A (control group) will receive conventional physical therapy treatment (hot pack, electrical stimulation, myofascial release, ROM and strengthening exercises) while Group B (experimental group) receive conventional physical therapy treatment with segmental and pursed lip breathing exercises. Outcome measures are Pain Numeric Scale, Quality of life (SF 36) and Functional disability (neck disability index). These tools will measure neck function and neck pain intensity. Treatment time will be 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week, each session will be 45 minutes long, and measurements will be taken after 4 weeks. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro - wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups analysis.

BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain has been reported to be the third most common musculoskeletal presentation in primary care, after low back pain and knee pain. The prognosis for those presenting with musculoskeletal shoulder pain varies greatly amongst individuals, with 50% of people reporting symptoms 6 months after presenting in primary healthcare. Functional limitations, in addition to pain, are widespread and can interfere with job, hobbies, social, and sporting activities. They may also relate to psychological discomfort and a lower quality of life. Continuous computer uses without a break, awkward postures, and the duration and frequency of laptop use have all been identified as risk factors for musculoskeletal diseases. The most prevalent cause, accounting for 70% of cases, is rotator cuff dysfunction. Rotator cuff disorders are frequently associated with short and long-term impairment and discomfort, with approximately fifty percent of patients experiencing pain or functional restrictions for up to two years. The majority of shoulder pain concerns are treated in primary care by physiotherapists and general practitioners. Myofascial release is a common hands-on method manual therapy technique that uses carefully guided low load, long duration mechanical pressures to modify the myofascial complex with promising results in improving functional level. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of myofascial release in patient with rotator cuff tendinopathy. METHOD: The design of this study is a double blinded Randomize control trail. Forty-two participants will be divided into one of two groups, group one will have strengthening exercises, range of motion exercise, and ice application, group two will perform the same exercises with ice application plus myofascial release. Patient will be followed for one month, two session per week and the session duration will be 30-45 mins. Assessment and re-assessment will be done by independent physical therapist. All patients will be assessed by using quick DASH, VAS, ROM, and Kessler psychological distress scale.
The goal of this double-blind, interventional, randomized case-control, pilot trial is to evaluate the effects of active sulfurous (STW) versus placebo (SDW) inhalations on blood test parameters, serum inflammatory cytokines, spirometry data, as well as qualitative and quantitative changes in the nasal microbiome of subjects affected by long Covid. The main questions it aims to answer are: - if STW inhalations are effective on respiratory issues due to long covid compared to the placebo inhalation (SDW) - if STW inhalations are effective on long covid related fatigue issues compared to the placebo inhalation (SDW) - if H2S inhaled with STW is effective in modulating (decreasing) cytokines which are related to long covid cytokine storm compared to placebo inhalation with no H2S (SDW) - if STW inhalation modify nasal microbiome both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view respect to placebo inhalation (SDW) Participants will be randomly assigned to active inhalations (STW) or placebo inhalations (SDW) arm and subjected to 12 consecutive sessions of 20 minutes. Both arms will be tested for: - cytokines and inflammatory markers concentration (IL1b, IL6, ACE, GSS, S100B, Hs-CRP) - spirometry (resting, forced, DLCO) - exertion response (6 minutes walking test) - nasal microbiome sampling at visit 1 (enrolment), at visit 2(right after the inhalation treatment) and at visit 3 (3 months after treatment). Researchers will compare results reported by STW to those of SDW group to see if significative differences are detectable.
Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a widespread ocular disease affecting the general population. It is a complex disorder affecting the surface of the eye, marked by an imbalance in the tear film and ocular symptoms. Therefore this study was done to determine the effect of an educational program on health-related outcomes of patients with DES including the severity of symptoms related to DES and their influence on visual-related functions
Background and objective: The ramifications of early lung protective measures and prone positioning on the ICU length of stay rates of participants admitted to the ICU with acute respiratory distress syndrome amid the COVID-19 pandemic constitute a pivotal examination. The study aims to identify the effect of early prone positioning on the length of stay, discharge rate, and number of tracheostomized patients in the ICU.
