Filter by:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common health problems in women of reproductive age, characterized by increased androgen levels, impaired ovulatory functions, and polycystic ovaries. In addition to cosmetic problems including hirsutism and acne, it also poses a risk for significant chronic diseases, including infertility, dyslipidemia, obesity, sleep apnea, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and various malignancies. The aim of this clinical study was to investigate the effects of short-term low-calorie ketogenic diet (LCKD) intervention on anthropometric, biochemical and hormonal parameters in women with PCOS. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is a short-term low-calorie ketogenic diet effective on body composition in overweight women with PCOS? - Is a short-term low-calorie ketogenic diet effective on biochemical and hormonal parameters in overweight women with PCOS? Participants were diagnosed with PCOS according to the Rotterdam 2003 criteria as a result of the clinical, biochemical and ultrasonographic medical evaluation made by the gynecologist, and those who were found to be eligible for LCKD and volunteered to participate in the study were included in the study. Researchers are examining whether a low-calorie ketogenic diet applied between two menstrual cycles has any effects on anthropometric, biochemical and hormonal parameters in women with PCOS.
Post-COVID-19 Syndrome (PCS) is characterized by symptoms, including fatigue, reduced physical performance, dyspnea, cognitive impairment, and psychological distress. The mechanisms underlying the onset and severity of PCS point to mitochondrial dysfunction as significant contributor. This study examined fat oxidation as a function of mitochondrial capacity during exercise.
This research aims to compare the efficacy of these two interventions, thereby addressing a critical gap in current therapeutic approaches. The rationale for this study is rooted in the existing evidence supporting non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions for RLS, yet the comparative efficacy remains underexplored.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of KT versus TENS combining self-myofascial stretching in treatment of CTS through clinical, functional assessment and sensory measurements. Primary hypothesis The KT group has a more substantial improvement in hand grip, pain relief, enhancing proprioceptive sensitivity and dexterity compare to the TENS group. treatment program,
The objective of this non-interventional multicentric study (NIS) is to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of treatment with Vastarel Caps LP® in symptomatic patients with angina over 3 months under conditions of daily practice. The main questions it aims to answer are data collection on antianginal efficacy, symptom class, adherence, and overall tolerability in patients treated with Vastarel Caps LP®. Patients diagnosed with chronic coronary syndrome and persistent stable angina, for whom the cardiologist chose to prescribe Trimetazidine 80mg once daily, were included in the study. Clinical information was collected in three distinct visits at baseline (V1), 1 month (V2), and 3 months (V3). During these visits, cardiologists collected the following variables based on a weekly occurrence: number of angina crises, short-acting nitrates (SAN) consumption, Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) classification, level of self-reported daily physical activity, adherence, and tolerability to the treatment. Physical activity was measured using a scale from 1 to 10 (1 = no limitations, 5 = moderate limitations, and 10 = very marked limitations). Adherence was assessed by a previously validated six-item questionnaire. Assessment of therapy efficacy and tolerability were rated by the physician as "very satisfactory", "satisfactory", "not sufficiently satisfactory", and "unsatisfactory".
Post-infection chronic fatigue syndromes, such as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and post-COVID-19 condition (Long Covid), are conditions primarily characterized by debilitating fatigue. This fatigue can range from mild, where patients are still able to participate in some social activities (e.g., school, work), to moderate and severe, where sufferers are predominantly homebound and bedridden. As a result, ME/CFS and Long Covid not only negatively impact the quality of life of affected individuals and their caregivers but also represent a substantial and often silent burden on healthcare systems worldwide, including Austria. This is primarily because most cases remain undiagnosed due to the lack of standardized clinical assessments and diagnostic markers. Endothelial dysfunction, which is well known to affect blood flow, oxygen and nutrient delivery, and waste removal in the body, has been described as one of the key factors behind the symptoms experienced by ME/CFS and Long Covid patients. However, the mechanisms that might explain the development of endothelial dysfunction remain largely unexplored. Therefore, this project aims to evaluate key biological aspects related to the function of endothelial cells - a layer of cells lining blood vessels - using plasma samples from an Austrian cohort of ME/CFS and Long Covid patients. We expect that the findings from our study will provide new insights to better understand endothelial dysfunction in post-infection chronic fatigue syndromes, leading to improved patient stratification and tailored treatment alternatives.
The purpose of this study was to construct a Stigma intervention program for college students with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) based on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) theory and to investigate the effectiveness in reducing stigma in IBS patients with the aim of enhancing their mental health and improving their quality of life.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive (TECAR) therapy on pain, symptom severity and function in patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) based on clinical and electromyography (EMG) findings and to compare it with ultrasound therapy (US). Methods: A total of 42 patients aged between 18 and 65 years, were randomly divided into two groups; group 1, US therapy 5 minutes intermittently for 2 weeks, 5 times a week, for a total of 10 sessions, group 2 TECAR therapy 5 min capacitive (CAP) and 10 min resistive (RES), 3 days a week for 2 weeks, for a total of 6 sessions. Both groups received paraffin therapy and wrist orthosis. All Patients were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and paresthesia levels, the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) for symptom severity and functional levels. Additionally, median nerve CSA was measured by ultrasound, at the baseline, post-treatment, first and third months.
Background: With regard to patients with thoracic outlet syndrome (GBS), it is important to improve inspiratory muscle strength and endurance, and pain perception in patients with TOS, so that patients are able to regain pulmonary function and endurance. Objective: To investigate the impact of osteopathic interventions on respiratory parameters and pain levels in individuals diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). Subjects and methods: forty adults after the onset of TOS will be assigned randomly into two equal groups. In Group A will be allocated to traditional physical therapy program, three sessions/week in addition to 60-minute sessions of Osteopathic technique, one session/week for 3 months, group B will receive traditional physical therapy program, three sessions/week for 3 months. Selected respiratory parameters by spirometer, maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) and a visual analogue scale of pain severity, measured at baseline and after 3 months.
Low level laser treatments have been used to treat painful trigger points in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), but the effectiveness of the appropriate laser type and parameters is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of different types of low level laser treatment (LLLT) in reducing pain levels, changing oxygen saturation and bite force in patients with MPS.
