Prehabilitation exercise therapy before elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
CONCLUSIONS: Due to very low-certainty evidence, we are uncertain whether prehabilitation exercise therapy reduces 30-day mortality, pulmonary complications, need for re-intervention or postoperative bleeding. Prehabilitation exercise therapy might slightly reduce cardiac and renal complications compared with usual care (no exercise). More RCTs of high methodological quality, with large sample sizes and long-term follow-up, are needed. Important questions should include the type and cost-effectiveness of exercise programmes, the minimum number of sessions and programme duration needed to effect clinically important benefit...

Chronic respiratory disorders due to aberrant innominate artery: a case series and critical review of the literature
ConclusionsTC caused by AIA may be responsible for unexplained chronic respiratory disease in childhood. Early diagnosis of AIA can decrease the use of expensive investigations or unsuccessful treatments, reduce disease morbidity, and accelerate the path toward a proper treatment.

Interventions for improving adherence to airway clearance treatment and exercise in people with cystic fibrosis
CONCLUSIONS: We are uncertain whether a music-based motivational intervention may increase adherence to ACTs or affect the risk of hospitalisation for a respiratory infection. We are also uncertain whether an educational intervention increases adherence to exercise or reduces the frequency of respiratory infection-related hospital admission. However, these results are largely based on self-reported data and the impact of strategies to improve adherence to ACT and exercise in children and adolescents with stable CF remains inconclusive. Given that adherence to ACT and exercise therapy are fundamental to the clinical managem...

Balneotherapy for chronic venous insufficiency
CONCLUSIONS: For the comparison balneotherapy versus no treatment, we identified moderate-certainty evidence that the intervention improves disease severity signs and symptoms scores slightly, low-certainty evidence that it improves pain and skin pigmentation changes, and very low-certainty evidence that it improves HRQoL. Balneotherapy compared with no treatment made little or no difference to adverse effects, oedema or incidence of leg ulcers. Evidence comparing balneotherapy with other interventions was very limited. To ensure adequate comparison between trials, future trials should standardise measurements of outcomes ...

Active cycle of breathing technique for cystic fibrosis
CONCLUSIONS: There is little evidence to support or reject the use of the ACBT over any other airway clearance therapy and ACBT is comparable with other therapies in outcomes such as participant preference, quality of life, exercise tolerance, lung function, sputum weight, oxygen saturation, and number of pulmonary exacerbations. Longer-term studies are needed to more adequately assess the effects of ACBT on outcomes important for people with cystic fibrosis such as quality of life and preference.PMID:36727723 | PMC:PMC9893420 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD007862.pub5

Conventional chest physiotherapy compared to other airway clearance techniques for cystic fibrosis
CONCLUSIONS: We are uncertain whether CCPT has a more positive impact on respiratory function, respiratory exacerbations, individual preference, adherence, quality of life, exercise capacity and other outcomes when compared to alternative ACTs as the certainty of the evidence is very low. There was no advantage in respiratory function of CCPT over alternative ACTs, but this may reflect insufficient evidence rather than real equivalence. Narrative reports indicated that participants prefer self-administered ACTs. This review is limited by a paucity of well-designed, adequately powered, long-term studies. This review cannot ...

Superior Effects of High-Intensity Interval vs. Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training on Endothelial Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion In young adults with type 1 diabetes without known complications and in moderate glycemic control, HIIT proved to be superior to MCT in improving endothelial dysfunction and physical fitness during a training period of 8-weeks. The effect on endothelial function was closely related to improvement in physical fitness and did not depend on glycemic control changes. Thus, HIIT can be recommended as a useful and safe non-pharmacological alternative to improve vascular function in patients with type 1 diabetes. Long-term studies to examine the efficacy of HIIT in preventing micro- and macrovascular disease are still...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 1191: Inflammatory Markers in Dysmenorrhea and Therapeutic Options
a Zorena Dysmenorrhea often significantly reduces the quality of women’s life and is still an important public health problem. Despite numerous studies, the pathomechanism of dysmenorrhea is not fully understood. Previous research indicates the complexity of biochemical reactions between the endocrine, vascular, and immune systems. Prostaglandins play a major role in the pathomechanism of dysmenorrhea. In contrast, cytokines and other proinflammatory factors in primary dysmenorrhea are less studied. In addition to the applied pharmacotherapy, more and more studies proving the effectiveness of non-pharmaco...

Diabetes mellitus tendino-myopathy: epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and management of an overlooked diabetic complication
AbstractTendino-myopathy, an unexplored niche, is a non-vascular unstated T2DM complication, which is largely disregarded in clinical practice, thus, we aim to explore it in this review. Literature search using published data from different online resources. Epidemiologically, reported prevalence varies around 10 –90%, which is marked variable and unreliable. Clinically, diabetic tendino-myopathy is typified by restriction of movement, pain/tenderness, cramps and decreased functions. Moreover, myopathy is characterized by muscle atrophy, weakness and ischemia, and tendinopathy by deformities and reduced fu nctions/precis...

Comparison of pulmonary function, respiratory symptoms, functional level, and health-related quality of life in patients with systemic sclerosis according to smoking status
CONCLUSIONS: Smoking may increase respiratory symptoms and vascular complications and decrease the functional level and HRQoL in patients with SSc. To maintain functional independence in patients with SSc, awareness of the harms of smoking should be increased and smoking cessation should be encouraged, along with physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs including exercise and physical activity recommendations.PMID:36350737 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2022.2145176
