A sample of 40 patients poststroke (24 males) was randomly allocated to either ESWT experimental (n=18) or conventional physiotherapy control group (n=20). All patients received 5 sessions during the treatment program. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Taiwan version Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, and dynamometer (Maximal grip strength) for each participant were assessed before and after the treatment program.

Effects of a Single Session of Knee Isometric Exercises on Blood Pressure in Healthy Elderly: A Clinical Controlled Trial

A total of 58 participants were selected and divided into two groups equally, namely, elderly, and young groups with the age groups of 60-80 years and 20-30 years, respectively. The Heart Rate (HR), Respiratory Rate (RR), Blood Pressure (BP), Oxygen Saturation (SaO2), and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) for each participant were assessed before and after the treatment session.

In the present work, a newly produced PbO-BaO-B₂O₃ glass system′s mech., phys., and radiation absorption capabilities were studied to determine the effectivity of B₂O₃ substitution by ZnO.The melt-quench process produced the glasses utilized in the present investigation.The m.p. used was 1000 °C, and the temperature at which they were annealed was 400 °C.The exptl. measurement of the d. for manufactured glass samples was conducted using Archimedes′ theory.It was observed that all d. values of the fabricated glasses were raised when the concentration of ZnO was increased from 0 to 20 mol.%.Based on the model proposed by Makishima and Mackenzie from Young, bulk, shear, and longitudinal moduli, it was observed that there was a decrease as the concentration of ZnO was increased in the manufactured glasses.Microhardness was found to be reduced from 4.692 GPa to 4.218 GPa, while the Poisson ratio was found to be decreased from 0.234 to 0.229 when the percentage of ZnO was raised from 0 to 20 mol.%.In contrast, the assessment of radiation shielding qualities through the utilization of Monte Carlo software simulation demonstrates an augmentation in the radiation absorption capability of the manufactured glass samples due to the exchange between B₂O₃ and ZnO compoundsWe used the MCNP5 code to study the radiation shielding properties in a wide energy range of 0.03-2.605 MeV.The linear attenuation coefficient LAC of the produced glass samples increased from 0.315 cm^-1 to 0.369 cm^-1 when the ZnO concentrations were enriched from 0 to 20 mol.%, resp.

OBJECTIVESKidney diseases are considered silent killers due to the lack of well-defined symptoms. Public knowledge about chronic kidney disease (CKD) management has been shown to decrease the risk of CKD onset and progression to end-stage renal disease and renal failure. The main objective of this study was to assess the knowledge of kidney function, CKD symptoms, etiology, prevention and treatment in the general population.METHODSA cross-sectional study using a validated questionnaire was conducted in Jordan to assess public knowledge of CKD. Public knowledge of CKD was assessed using a questionnaire consisting of 32 knowledge questions, including risk factors, symptoms, treatment, protective measures and kidney function. The knowledge level was classified according to the total score: poor (0-50%), intermediate (51-70%) and good/high (71-100%). Multiple regression analysis was performed to compare knowledge scores (KS) and predict associations with the participants' baseline characteristics.RESULTSThe level of knowledge about CKD among the 2181 participants was intermediate. The KS was significantly higher among participants with health issues such as hypertension, diabetes and heart problems, first-degree relatives working in the medical field, majors relevant to health, married, employed, highly educated, high-income and smokers. The main sources of knowledge about CKD were health professionals, TV shows, books and magazines. Multiple regression analysis showed an association between KS and age, sex, functional status, educational level and field, income, smoking status, having a family member/spouse work in the medical field, and knowledge source.CONCLUSIONSThe public level of knowledge about CKD management is greatly influenced by participants' health and social factors. Thus, improving public knowledge and perception through education and the media will significantly reduce CKD prevalence and incidence.
