Study focuses on comparing the effects of manual scar mobilization and myofascial cupping techniques on the outcomes of pain, physical characteristics, and appearance of cesarean scars. The study aims to contribute valuable insights into tailored interventions for improving cesarean scars. The randomized clinical trial will involve 52 participants, primigravida women aged 20 to 40 with completely healed but painful cesarean scars. Excluding those with previous scar therapy or infectious scars, the participants will be divided into two groups, with Group A receiving manual scar mobilization therapy and Group B receiving myofascial cupping therapy, both administered twice a week for four weeks. Pain assessment will be conducted using a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), while physical characteristics and appearance will be evaluated using the Manchester Scar Scale for cesarean scars (MSS). The data collected will be analyzed using SPSS version 29.
The study will focus on the effects of active tissue release techniques on groin pain, hip range of motion, and functional disability in 2nd trimester of pregnancy. This will be a randomized controlled trial conducted on 30 participants from Prime Care Hospital. Pregnant women in the second trimester aged between 25 to 35 years, who have groin or round ligament pain will be included in this study. A sample of 30 will be divided into 2 groups. Group A will undergo treatment of active release techniques for 10 minutes thrice a week with no home plan of home relaxation exercises. In contrast, Group B will combine treatment of active release technology with home relaxation exercises. Treatment will be given for 4 weeks and pain will be assessed before and after the treatment through (NPRS) scale. Functional disability will be measured before and after the treatment through Quebec scale and Force Disability Scale Questionnaire in both groups.
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the extent to which injection of a small amount of fluid in the pleural cavity at the biopsy site may reduce the risk of pneumothoraces, in addition to patient positioning to allow biopsy in gravity-dependent areas of the lung.

This study will be conducted in a hospital in Spain to investigate how a special intervention using immersive virtual reality technology can benefit hospitalized older adults with difficulties in their daily functionality. The main objective of this study is to evaluate whether a cognitive stimulation intervention through immersive virtual reality, along with specific physical exercises, can improve the cognitive and physical function of hospitalized older patients. It is expected that this innovative intervention will have a positive impact on the quality of life of these patients. Participants eligible for the study must be over 75 years old, have severe functional dependency upon hospital admission, and be willing to participate. Those with severe dementia or other terminal illnesses will be excluded. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four study groups: a control group without intervention and three intervention groups, including viewing Spanish landscapes through virtual reality, performing specific physical exercises, or a combination of both interventions. At the end of the study, various aspects such as cognitive and physical function, mood, quality of life, muscle strength, and acceptance of virtual reality technology by patients will be evaluated. This study aims to provide new insights into the care of hospitalized older adults and explore innovative ways to improve their well-being during their hospital stay
This clinical trial study has two goals. The first goal is to establish fitness levels, participation in physical activities, and fine/gross motor abilities for children with development language disorder (DLD). DLD occurs in 1/13 children and children with DLD often have poorer fine/gross motor skills than those with typical development. The second goal is to determine whether physical exercise helps children with DLD and typical development to learn better and improve fitness and fine/gross motor abilities more than participating in restful play activities. All children (DLD and typically developing) will undergo communication, fine/gross motor and fitness testing. Children will be randomly assigned to participate in an exercise program (n =20) or to a restful play program (n = 20). Both programs will take place 3x/week for 6 weeks and children will only participate in one of the two programs. Children in the exercise program will do activities to train cardiovascular fitness, agility, balance, strength, and endurance while children in the restful play condition will do things like play with legos and color. Researchers will compare changes in learning tasks and fitness levels for children (DLD and typically developing) who participated in the exercise program vs. restful play program.

To evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS1), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival from first-line treatment initiation (PFS2), overall survival (OS), and safety of irinotecan liposome combined with bevacizumab in patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer.
The aim of this observational study is to explore how the "Pé-de-Meia" Program, a policy of the Brazilian Federal Government designed to encourage the retention and completion of studies by students from low-income families, affects both the students' tendency towards delay discounting and their academic performance. The study seeks to answer the following questions: How does the "Pé-de-Meia" Program affect the students' propensity for delay discounting? Is there a relationship between the level of delay discounting among students, their academic performance, and school attendance? Participants in the study, high school students enrolled in the "Pé-de-Meia" Program, will undergo assessments to measure their level of delay discounting. The academic performance and school attendance of the participants will be monitored and analyzed in relation to their propensity for delay discounting
In this prospective, randomized, single-blind study, we aim to compare the effects of general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia on postoperative myocardial injury in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery. Cardiovascular events are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity following non-cardiac surgery, with myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) being a significant concern. MINS, characterized by asymptomatic elevation of troponin levels without accompanying ECG findings, is closely associated with postoperative mortality. With the increasing prevalence of comorbidities in the elderly population and the rising frequency of non-cardiac surgeries in this demographic, understanding the effects of different anesthesia types on postoperative myocardial injury is crucial.
