Filter by:Non-invasive respiratory support methods have been widely used in premature babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) which has changed the basic management of premature babies in the early period. According to the 2019 European Guidelines on RDS management, early nasal CPAP is recommended as first-line therapy in infants <30 weeks of age who are at risk of RDS who do not require mechanical ventilation (MV). However, some of the premature babies have faced non-invasive ventilation failure. Remarkably, infants who experience non-invasive ventilation failure are at increased risk of death, pneumothorax, intraventricular hemorrhage, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), among other morbidities. In non-invasive ventilation failure, although demographic factors such as small gestational age, low birth weight, and male gender play a role, it has been suggested that surfactant deficiency may also play an important role. The most frequently reported risk factor in predicting non-invasive failure in studies is the fraction of inspiring oxygen during the first hours of life. In addition, positive end-expiratory airway pressure (PEEP) required for patient stabilization was found to be a potential predictor. However, there are still limited data to predict non-invasive ventilation failure. "Which newborns are at high risk for non-invasive ventilation failure?" and "When should the surfactant be applied?". The study is a single-center, prospective study to evaluate prognostic factors, and most importantly to define the FiO2 threshold, which is an indicator of possible non-invasive ventilation failure in infants supported with nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment of upper extremity. Patients with CTS will experience symptoms of pain, numbness of tingling sensation along the median nerve distribution. In more severe case, patients may have difficult manipulating objects that disturb function and patient's quality of life. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is one of physical modalities that uses to treat many musculoskeletal disorders. For CTS, previous evidence showed that ESWT can improve symptoms, function as well as electrophysiologic parameters. However, standardized guidelines as well as the study in patients with moderate to severe CTS has not been established. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate efficacy of ESWT in term of symptoms, function, electrophysiologic parameters, as well as sonography of median nerve in patients with moderate to severe CTS.
Down syndrome (DS) is a common chromosomal pediatric disorder and accounts for approximately 8 % of all congenital anomalies. Children with DS experience delays in Cognitive, Physical, Speech and Language development. Hypotonity and laxity that is part of its features causes delay on motor acquisition. Furthermore it causes musculoskeletal issues and lower extremity malalignment resulting in inefficient and abnormal pattern of movement compromising locomotion and day to day functions therefore, problems for the population further aggravates. Combined effects of these factors causes a high level of stress on foot as it provides the foundation for whole body therefore, individuals with Down syndrome are at risk for foot alignment problems. Pes planus being the most common amongst them and accounts for 91% of the total DS patients diagnosed. Pes planus causes alteration in foot kinetics and kinematics that not only interferes significantly with normal daily life activities as balance and gait but also increases the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Hence researchers have shown interest in addressing this condition for the effective management of DS population. Conventional treatment approach are the use of insoles, foot orthosis and arch taping however, they fail to produce residual effect. Hence the present study is to determine the role of foot muscles exercises in Down Syndrome having pes planus since its effects are positively recorded in normal population.
In this study, we aim to determine whether combined tolterodine and CPAP therapy is a more effective treatment for patients with OSAS than CPAP treatment only.
The study will be randomized control trial. The study will be conducted in Iqbal Mehmooda Trust Hospital. Group A will be treated with global postural reeducation. Group B will be treated with neck stabilization training. Non probability consecutive sampling technique will be used. Patient below 20-40 years, participants who use smart phones for 8 hours per day(guidelines), angle of forward head pasture above 15, screening picture tool. Neurological defects, trauma, tumor, shoulder injury, cervical disc disease. REBA questionnaire, NDI, Goniometry, NPRS will be used as a tool. The global postural reeducation will be applied on group A while neck stabilization training will be applied on group B. The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of of global postural reeducation and neck stabilization training on text neck syndrome.
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of platelet-rich plasma application with additional exercise and only exercise application on pain, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life in subacromial impingement syndrome. Material and Method: 56 patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of shoulder pain and were diagnosed with Subacromial impingement syndrome between February 2022 and February 2023 will be included in the study. After giving the necessary verbal and written information about the study, the patients with informed consent will be randomized and divided into 2 groups of 28 people. The cases will be randomly divided into groups and their treatment will be done by the same researchers. Evaluation will be carried out by another investigator blinded to which group the participants belong to before and after the treatment. After the initial evaluations are completed, the 1st group will be given a home exercise program that they will apply every day for 8 weeks, and the 2nd group will be given 2 doses of PRP with an interval of 2 weeks in addition to the same exercise program. Initial evaluations of the patients will be made before the treatment and will be re-evaluated at the end of the 6th month. Personal information with the Sociodemographic Data Form prepared by us; pain severity by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); shoulder functionality will be evaluated with the Constant Murley Score, joint range of motion with the Universal Goniometer, muscle strength with the "Hand-held" dynamometer, and quality of life with the SF-36. Statistical Analysis: SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) (SPSS 21.0) statistical program will be used in the statistical analysis of the data. Mann Whitney-U Test will be used to determine the difference between the efficacy of treatments. P < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant in all analyses.
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is an innocuous condition seen primarily in 10-60% of young active people with exercise induced leg pain. With an average delay in diagnosis of 2 years, early identification is crucial as delays have led to poor surgical outcomes after fasciotomy. Diagnosis is currently made by compartment pressure (CP) testing, which is invasive, painful and demonstrates variable accuracy. There is no literature on the role of shear wave elastography (SWE) and/or subharmonic assisted pressure estimation (SHAPE) with microbubbles in diagnosing CECS. Ultrasound contrast agents are FDA-approved and are extremely safe. In this single-blinded prospective pilot study, the accuracy of SHAPE and SWE will be evaluated and compared to the current gold standard of compartment testing in patients with suspected CECS. Muscle stiffness and record a quantitative assessment of enhancement and hydrostatic pressures will be documented and correlated with compartment testing results based on a reference standard modified Pedowitz criteria for CECS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance starting in the perimenarchal period. Insulin resistance also increases the risk of developing glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disorders. Studies on adult women with PCOS show that their aerobic capacity is affected. Therefore, in this study; it was aimed to compare the physical and cardiovascular fitness levels of adolescent PCOS patients with healthy adolescents.
The components of metabolic syndrome (MetS), particularly obesity and dyslipidemia, are linked to peripheral neuropathy (PN) among patients with diabetes or even without diabetes. Several studies revealed that complementary and herbal medicine could provide a potential for PN management and MetS components. Thus, designing clinical trials with interventions combinations to achieve a considerable improvement is highly recommended. Hesperidin and diosmin, citrus-derived flavonoids, have been reported to possess anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and anti-hypertensive effect with high tolerability and safety profile
Myofascial pain syndrome is a disease characterized by pain over the trigger point in a taut muscle band. After the correct diagnosis is made, many treatment methods can be applied. One of these treatments is the treatment with prolotherapy injection. Proliferant reveals defense mechanisms remove them and then start the healing process in the damaged area. Usually, dextrose water is used. Lidocaine is an anesthetic. With lidocaine injection, the passage of painful stimuli is prevented and the opioid system is activated. The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of prolotherapy and lidocaine treatment in the myofascial pain syndrome.
