The Pharyngeal Muscle Trainer for the Therapy of Primary Snoring -An innovative therapy approach
Snoring is a concomitant of sleeping. This phenomenon is not only considered annoying, but also often taboo because it affects the privacy of those affected. In addition, however, snoring can be the cause of sometimes life-threatening diseases, such as hypertension, stroke and myocardial infarction.
Buschke-Lowenstein Tumor of the Vulva: A Case Report
Buschke-Lowenstein tumor or giant condyloma acuminata is a rare disorder of the external genitalia, belonging to the
group of verrucous carcinomas, and usually affects immunocompromised men. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) 6 and 11
are potentially involved in the pathophysiology. A detailed questioning, a rigorous clinical examination and complementary imaging are important to establish an accurate lesion assessment and an adapted management. Wide surgical excision
is the treatment of choice.
Evaluation of Paraspinal Muscle Properties in Adolescents with Mild Idiopatic Scoliosis Using Surface EMG Power Spectral Analysis
Previous studies reported that the paraspinal muscles of adolescents with severe idiopathic scoliosis scheduled for surgery
contain higher proportion of type Ⅰ fibers on the convex side. However, the muscle properties are unknown in mild adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences among the convex, concave and control sides of the paraspinal muscles
in patients with mild AIS and healthy individuals and to help in the treatment of mild AIS patients.
The Effect of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality on Cardiac Arrest Outcome
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in USA, nearly 90% of them fatal and Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA)
is a leading cause of death worldwide. The Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), especially if administered immediately after cardiac
arrest, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival. CPR by training persons increases the frequency the survival rate. Therefore,
we aim to look into the common pitfalls that both medical students and genior physicians face in the recognition and dealing Compression in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation with its outcome.
Tetanus Presenting with Back Pain
Tetanus is caused by Clostridium tetani, which one of its toxins, tetanospasmin is the cause of clinical symptoms. The incubation period
is generally 3 days to 3 weeks. The clinical severity is due to the amount of toxin and the neural distance to reach the neuronal body.
Musculoskeletal Disorders and Association with Social Media Use Among University Students at the Quarantine Time Of COVID-19 Outbreak
COVID-19 period was characterized by lockdown and quarantine, the aim of this cross-sectional analytical study is to investigate the effect of COVID-19 quarantine on social media use, and its association with musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) among university students.
Proposed Perioperative Guidelines for Selective Infectious Diseases in the Pediatric Population
It is essential for practitioners to recognize the pathophysiology of commonly presenting infectious diseases and their mode of
transmission. This allows healthcare workers to provide a safe perioperative experience for the patient as well as engage in appropriate
infection control practices. There are a number of noteworthy pediatric respiratory infections, such as the novel coronavirus, known
as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and pulmonary tuberculosis.
The Effect of 8 Weeks of Strength Training and Creatine Intake on Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is a syndrome which is characterized by the gradual loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. The progression of sarcopenia
can result in adverse outcomes such as physical disability, poor life quality and severe injuries that lead to death.
A Case of Lambda AL Type Skeletal Amyloidosis with Vascular Myopathy Achieved Clinical Response after Autologous Stem Cell Transplant
Amyloidosis involving the vascular musculoskeletal system is rare and currently, there is no standard treatment protocol for the treatment
of skeletal muscle AL amyloidosis associated with vascular myopathies. Furthermore, the data on the efficacy and safety of autologous
stem cell transplant is unclear. In this rare case, a biopsy-proven diagnosis of AL type amyloidosis with an unusual presentation of
proximal muscle weakness significantly improved with high dose melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. The
patient achieved and maintained remission for a year post-transplant
In Vitro Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Brucella Species Isolated from Human and Animals in India
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that affects a wide range of animals, including domestic livestock, and human. It is considered one of the most common bacterial zoonoses in the world. Endemic in many parts of India little is known about the antibiotic susceptibility or resistance of Brucella isolates from India.
Clinical Profile of Muscular Dystrophies in Burkina Faso
To describe clinical profile of muscular dystrophies in Burkina Faso, we retrospectively reviewed 17 patients who had clinical phenotypes of Muscular Dystrophy between 2004 and 2004 in the neurology Department of Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital in Ouagadougou.
The Use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in the Sport-Scientific Context
The focus of this research is aimed specifically at the application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in exercise and sport science. NIRS is able to monitor the performance of muscle and cerebral tissue and evaluate their role during physical activity. By monitoring tissue oxygenation, an NIRS device is useful in several areas, which may benefit from its applications.
Age Related Variation in Feminine Handwriting among Population Groups of Delhi, India
Handwriting is a uniquely human trait which progresses and evolves during lifetime and declines with age. The aim of the present paper is to assess variation in handwriting features with age among female writers of select population groups of Delhi, India (for Roman script).
A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating the Effects of an Investigational Study Product on Exercise Induced Muscle Soreness, Markers of Inflammation, Muscle Damage and Exercise Performance in Healthy Males
Gherkin, a pure botanical extract from cucumber is a phytonutrient rich vegetable which may have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties. The purpose of this randomized double-blind placebo study was to determine the effects of Gherkin (Cuvitus™, Actido®)on exercise performance, markers of inflammation and acute muscle soreness in healthy males.
