wet cupping? In March 2011, three systematic reviews were analysed for the effectiveness of wet and dry cupping, in which two out of three showed some evidence for effectiveness of cupping for pain. Favourable effects were shown when wet cupping was combined with adjuvant conventional treatments. A study by S.M. Ahmed and his colleagues was carried out in order to evaluate the efficiency of cupping therapy in management of rheumatoid arthritis. To sum up, they concluded that wet cupping (Hijama)
In many cases, mis-diagnosed, undiagnosed or simply obscure, hidden diseases seem to be off the radar of established medical science. Yet, the figures are telling in themselves: from a monetary view, women lose their jobs to the tune of $80.4 billion a year in the U.S. alone where an estimated 7.6 million women are sufferers. However, that's not the only way this hidden disease plagues women: broken relationships due to painful sexual experiences; untold reports of infertility; and an almost total
Literature Review : The core purpose of the research is to compare the effects of cryotherapy to heat therapy in the form of cold-water immersion and hot packs to relieve pain associated with DOMS among new gym users performing eccentric exercise. The authors of various researches recommended that further work be done in this domain to authenticate their findings (Bleakley C, McDonough S, Gardner E, Baxter GD, Hopkins JT, Davison GW, 2012). Eccentric contractions, for example those evoked
leads to delay in recovery of the patient. The present study tries to understand the factor and interaction effect of density, insertion depth and insertion angle on pullpull out strength and insertion torque of the pedicle screw. A pull out study was carried out on rigid polyurethane foam blocks representing osteoporotic to normal bone densities according to the ASTM-1839 standard. The study according to ASTM-1839 standard. From the study, it was found that density contributes highest towards
As clinicians, we are all challenged every day to demonstrate better assessments and interventions that are making a difference to our patients and families we serve. In effect, this case study enhances our thinking and begin to integrate the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. The ICF model of disablement goes beyond the impairment level and try to capture and report on the most important performances that truly has an impact for our patients overall
This section presents the results of the study based on the sequence by which the research questions were raised. The profile of the respondents is presented first followed by the results and discussion. Respondents’ profile A total of one hundred and forty-three respondents (one hundred and one practicing nurses and forty two nursing students) were served the questionnaire and completed it, giving a response rate of 100%. Almost all the respondents were females in both categories (Table 1). The
Platelet Rich Plasma Case study for a 21-year old female, third year college student, who has a long history of ankle sprains from being an athlete in the heptathlon. She specifically sprained here ankle doing a long jump and she was diagnosed with anterior talofibular ligament tear. She was treated with physical therapy by her athletic trainer, and acupuncture. Treatment we treated her with two to three sessions of platelet-rich plasma grafting and two to three sessions of prolotherapy for the
INTRODUCTION This work focuses on the importance of the seat design in rear end collisions and considers possible smart seat designs to decrease the risk of injuries. In case of rear-end crashes, head and neck injuries (namely whiplash injuries) are the most frequent type of injuries to occur, and are considered the main injury mechanism for that type of accidents. Whiplash injuries (soft tissue neck injuries) are one of the most frequent types of injury in car crashes. During rear-end collisions;
pregnant women. Only 5% of pregnant women exercise during their pregnancy period. This makes it a poor statistic especially with all the information available proving that exercising during pregnancy is perfectly safe for both the mother and baby. In this case, pregnant women should be encouraged to exercise moderately through this period. Having believed lots of pregnant women are just too sedentary in their daily activities and most pregnancy and birth complications are occurring due to lack of fitness
Alternative Medicine Alternative medicine, a term that describes medical treatments that are used to cure physical and mental pain in a human body. It can be refer to as “integrative” or “complementary” medicine. Research says about 40% of adults in the United States say they use some form of alternative medicine (Webmd).
