Filter by:PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping on relieving carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in physical therapist females. BACKGROUND: shockwave therapy is a popular non-invasive therapeutic modality in the medical field for the treatment of numerous musculoskeletal disorders. Shockwaves can generate interstitial and extracellular responses, producing many beneficial effects such as: pain relief, vascularization, protein biosynthesis, cell proliferation, neuro and chondroprotection, and destruction of calcium deposits in musculoskeletal structures. shockwave combined with conventional physiotherapy is an effective noninvasive treatment for mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome that produces greater and longer-lasting results than conventional physiotherapy alone HYPOTHESES: Adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping has positive effects on carpal tunnel syndrome in physical therapist females. RESEARCH QUESTION: Does adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping has positive effects on carpal tunnel syndrome in physical therapist females?
This study evaluates the variation of expression of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) in Natural Killer T Cells Expressing an Invariant T Receptor (iNKT) and monocytes along with the surface expression of Fc gamma type II receptor (RII) and RIII in active or newly diagnosed lupus patients compared to inactive lupus patients.
Scuba diving with closed circuit gas rebreathers is currently booming. Initially developed for professional and military diving, this type of diving has become very successful in recreational activities. The possibilities offered by this equipment are immense and reduce the constraints of exploration time and depth. More and more divers are seeking to reach depths previously considered unusual or inaccessible in recreational diving, beyond 100 meters. By pushing back these limits, the diver is exposed to new risks which should lead to a reflection on the means of prevention and treatment in case of incident. The physiological repercussions of these deep dives are not well known. During daily deep excursions in the 90-120 meter zone, there is a significant reduction in vital capacity on leaving the dive, which persists and worsens the following day. It seems necessary to confirm the importance of this impairment, never documented before, and to explore its mechanisms. A better knowledge of this respiratory impact could allow to improve the prevention and the preliminary evaluation of the medical aptitude of these divers.
Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis that affects, especially, young people. Although its etiology remains unexplained, data suggest that the inflammatory response during BD results from a disruption of the homeostasis of innate and adaptive immune responses in genetically predisposed people. The microbiota could play a triggering role in BD, in particular the salivary and dental plaque microbiota. The aim of the Behçetbiot study is therefore to establish microbial profiles of dental plaque, pathological (on the mouth ulcer) and non-pathological mucous membrane, salivary and digestive and to compare them with control subjects not suffering from BD, related to the first degree, of the same socio-cultural level and to determine whether dysbiosis is correlated with a local and systemic pro-inflammatory response, by measuring salivary level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and blood level of CRP, fibrinogen, orosomucoïd and haptoglobin, and to compare them with controls.
