<p><strong>Background: </strong>Poststroke spasticity (PSS) is a common complication of stroke. Current PSS treatments have been linked to high costs, lack of long-term effectiveness, and undesirable side effects. Vibrational and heated stone-needle therapy (VHS) has not been utilized to treat PSS, and its safety and effectiveness have yet to be proven by high-quality clinical research.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of VHS combined with meridian dredging exercise (MDE) in patients with PSS.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>One hundred participants with stroke were included and randomly assigned to a treatment group (VHS plus MDEs) and a control group (MDEs alone). Patients in both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The primary outcome measures were the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), while the secondary outcome measures were the Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Scale and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL). The evaluations were at baseline (T0) at 4 weeks of treatment (T1) and at 12 weeks of follow-up without treatment (T2).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>At T1 and T2, there were significant differences in MAS between the two groups (p = 0.001). From the perspective of distribution, the VHS plus MDE group had significant changes, and the group-time interactions of upper and lower extremities in FMA, ADL, and SS-QOL were statistically significant (p < 0.001), indicating that patients' symptoms improved after treatment. But the overall effect size is small, especially the effect size of improvement in SS-QOL at T1.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>VHS in combination with MDE can consistently alleviate PSS, enhance limb function, and improve the quality of life of patients with PSS. But we need to optimize the device further and observe the improvement of patients for a more extended period.</p><p><p><title>Hintergrund</title>Spastik nach Schlaganfall (PSS; <italic>post-stroke spasticity</italic>) ist eine häufige Komplikation des Schlaganfalls.

背景:脑卒中后痉挛(PSS)是脑卒中的常见并发症。目前的PSS治疗与高成本、缺乏长期有效性和不良副作用有关。振动和加热石针疗法尚未用于治疗PSS,其安全性和有效性尚待高质量的临床研究证明。目的:探讨振动加热石针疗法(VHS)结合经络疏通运动(MDE)治疗脑卒中后痉挛的疗效。方法:将100名中风患者随机分为治疗组(VHS加MDEs)和对照组(单独使用MDEs)。两组患者均接受为期4周的治疗。主要结果指标为改良Ashworth量表(MAS)和Fugl-Meyer评估(FMA),次要结果指标为日常生活活动量表(ADL)和脑卒中特异性生活质量量表(SS-QOL)。评估分别在基线(T0)、治疗4周(T1)和无治疗随访12周(T2)。结果:在T1和T2,两组的MAS有显著差异(P=0.001)。从分布来看,VHS加MDE组有显著变化。以及FMA、ADL、ADL中上下肢的组时间交互作用,结论:振动加热石针配合经络疏通运动,可持续缓解脑卒中后痉挛,增强肢体功能,提高PSS患者的生活质量,但仍需进一步优化设备,观察患者病情的改善情况。

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>During the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic, non-pharmacologic interventions were the strategies for the prevention of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The Ministry of Ayush, Govt. of India, had advised Arsenicum album 30C as a prophylactic to prevent COVID-19. This study was undertaken to evaluate the protective efficacy and safety of the Arsenicum album 30C.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We conducted a prospective, multicenter, cluster-randomized, parallel-arm, community-based, open-label study involving apparently healthy individuals residing in containment areas of 7 cities in India. Clusters are defined as the population residing in the containment areas, who are under restriction for movement. Forty-two clusters were randomly assigned at 2:1 to the Arsenicum album 30C group (30 clusters) or to the control group (12 clusters, which received no specific therapy).

Introduction: Breast cancer patients with cancer-related fatigue (BC-CRF) often have lower physical activity. To investigate how this could be improved, we evaluated a multimodal treatment (MT) and a combination of MT with aerobic training (CT) and compared these with aerobic training (AT) regarding rest/activity rhythm and state autonomic regulation (State aR).

Methods: In this pragmatic comprehensive cohort design study, the explorative analysis focused on actigraphy and State aR including the rest/activity regulation subscale (State aR-R/A) which were assessed at baseline (T0), after 10 weeks of intervention (T1), and State aR additionally 6 months later (T2).

Statistics: General linear modelling including propensity scores.

Results: 65 BC-CRF were randomized, and 61 were allocated by preference to the treatment arms. 105 patients started the intervention. At T1, State aR-R/A improved the most in MT (+3.49, CI [2.42; 4.55]) compared to AT (+1.59, CI [0.13; 3.06]) and CT (+1.68, CI [0.83; 2.52]), showing superiority of MT to AT (p = 0.048). At T2 MT was sustainably superior to AT regarding State aR-R/A (+3.61, CI [2.38; 4.83] p < 0.01) and State aR also showed superiority of MT to AT (p = 0.006). AT T1 24-h activity was higher in MT compared to AT (p = 0.029).

Conclusions: MT was superior to AT regarding State aR total score after 6 months, State aR-R/A after 10 weeks, and after 6 months. Actigraphically measured total activity also improved after 10 weeks.

乳腺癌患者伴癌相关性疲劳(BC-CRF),通常体力活动较少。为了研究如何改善这种情况,我们评估了多模式治疗(MT)和MT与有氧训练(CT)的结合,并将这些与有氧训练(AT)在休息/活动节奏和状态自主调节(状态aR)方面进行了比较。方法:在这项实用的综合队列设计研究中,探索性分析侧重于活动图和状态aR,包括休息/活动调节量表(State aR- r /A),在基线(T0)、干预10周(T1)和6个月后(T2)评估状态aR。统计学:一般线性模型包括倾向得分。结果:65例BC-CRF被随机化,61例被优先分配到治疗组。105名患者开始了干预。T1时,状态aR-R/A在MT中的改善最大(+3.49,CI [2.42];4.55])与AT (+1.59, CI [0.13;3.06])和CT (+1.68, CI [0.83;2.52]),表明MT优于AT (p = 0.048)。T2时,MT在状态aR-R/A方面持续优于At (+3.61, CI [2.38;[4.83] p < 0.01), State aR也显示MT优于AT (p = 0.006)。MT组AT T1 24 h活性高于AT组(p = 0.029)。结论:MT在6个月后的State aR总分、10周后的State aR / r /A、6个月后均优于AT。活动图测量的总活动在10周后也有所改善。

Introduction: This study was conducted to determine the effect of foot massage applied to women with sexual distress in rural areas on sexual distress and sexual self-confidence.

Material and methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted with women who applied to a family health center located in a rural area in northern Turkey and who had sexual distress. The research sample consisted of 84 women, 42 of whom were in the experimental group and 42 in the control group. While foot massage consisting of eight sessions and lasting 4 weeks was applied to the women in the experimental group, no such intervention was applied to the control group. Research data were collected by Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FSDS-R) and Sexual Self-Confidence Scale (SSS).

Results: It was determined that the pre-intervention sexual distress and sexual self-confidence levels of the women in the experimental and control groups were similar and that the difference between the groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). After the intervention, it was determined that the mean FSDS-R scores of the women in the experimental group decreased significantly, while the mean SSS score increased significantly, and the difference between the groups was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Foot massage can be used to reduce the level of sexual distress and increase sexual self-confidence in women with sexual distress. Health professionals who provide health services can use foot massage to positively improve sexuality in women.

前言:本研究旨在确定对农村性困扰女性进行足部按摩对性困扰和性自信的影响。材料和方法:这项随机对照研究是在土耳其北部农村地区的一个家庭保健中心进行的,她们有性困扰。研究样本包括84名女性,其中42名在实验组,42名在对照组。实验组的女性进行了为期4周的8次足部按摩,而对照组则没有进行此类干预。研究数据采用《女性性困扰量表修订版》(FSDS-R)和《性自信量表》(SSS)收集。结果:实验组和对照组女性干预前性困扰和性自信水平相近,组间差异无统计学意义(p > 0.05)。干预后,实验组女性FSDS-R平均评分显著降低,SSS平均评分显著升高,组间差异有统计学意义(p < 0.001)。结论:足部按摩可降低性困扰女性的性困扰程度,增强性自信。提供保健服务的保健专业人员可以使用足部按摩积极改善妇女的性行为。

背景台湾采用中药治疗女性不育症。有证据表明,缺乏单一疗法的疗效评估和与主流干预措施的比较可能导致CHM在女性不孕中的不当使用。方法一项回顾性队列研究纳入了2012年至2020年在一家医院接受CHM干预治疗不孕的女性患者,以确定CHM单药治疗女性不孕的结果。Kaplan-Meier分析在严格假设下用于估计CHM后妊娠和活产的累积概率。Cox风险回归分析用于估计预后变量的风险比,即女性的年龄和诊断类别。结果694名女性符合纳入标准,共2145个周期。共有190例妊娠导致125例活产,均为单胎婴儿,有16例围产期并发症需要住院治疗。10个周期后,总人口的实际累积妊娠率和累积活产率分别在27.4%和35.2%之间和18%和22.1%之间。与35岁以下患者的活产率相比,年龄较大的患者,特别是38至39岁的患者,活产率明显较低(危险比:0.19,95%置信区间:0.11-0.33),与患有输卵管病理的女性相比,其活产的可能性更大(危险比:6.31,95%置信区间:1.99-2.07)。结论据我们所知,这是第一项采用生命表分析来确定女性不孕的CHM治疗结果的回顾性研究。本研究为比较体外受精(IVF)和CHM奠定了基础,并确定了CHM治疗女性不孕的优缺点。尽管本研究的CLBR低于IVF研究中报道的CLBR,但CHM治疗女性不孕仍然对38岁以下或诊断为输卵管病理以外的女性有益,根据严格标准获得的有希望的结果,值得生殖专家推荐。然而,为了确定CHM联合IVF治疗女性不孕的最佳时机、可能的机制、相应的副作用和疗效,需要进行严格的研究。

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Peripheral facial palsy is characterized by acute peripheral facial nerve paralysis. While most cases have no identifiable cause, some are linked to infectious or noninfectious factors. The potential connection between herpes simplex virus-1 and peripheral facial palsy has been studied since the 1970s, with a small number of cases reported following tooth extraction. Patients who have treatment delayed for over a year and still exhibit no signs of recovery have a bleak prognosis. In this case, factors contributing to facial paralysis in this patient are facial nerve injury as a result of wisdom teeth extraction, improper nursing, and delayed treatment.</p><p><strong>Case presentation: </strong>A 23-year-old female presented with numbness and stiffness on the right side of the outer skin around the lips. These symptoms persisted for about 4 years after the extraction of the right lower wisdom tooth. Physical examination revealed House-Brackmann grade II peripheral facial paralysis. Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine treatments were initiated with an aim to facilitate nerve repair and neurofacilitation in the affected area. Following a 4-week course of treatment, the patient experienced a decrease in numbness and stiffness in the area, and treatment was discontinued.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The combination of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine is a safe and promising supplementary therapy for peripheral facial palsy caused by wisdom tooth extraction. Nevertheless, it is imperative to conduct larger scale and randomized controlled studies to determine whether these complementary interventions have a significant additive or synergistic effect toward achieving complete recovery in the patients.</p><p><p><title>Hintergrund</title>Die periphere Fazialisparese ist durch eine akute periphere Gesichtsnervenlähmung gekennzeichnet. Meist ist keine erkennbare Ursache feststellbar, doch besteht bei einigen Fällen ein Zusammenhang mit infektiösen oder nicht-infektiösen Faktoren. Ein möglicher Zusammenhang zwischen dem Herpes-simplex-Virus-1 (HSV-1) und der peripheren Fazialisparese wird seit den 1970er Jahren untersucht, und es wurde über eine kleine Zahl von Fällen nach einer Zahnextraktion berichtet. Patienten, bei denen die Behandlung erst nach einjähriger Verzögerung oder noch später beginnt und die keine Anzeichen für eine Besserung zeigen, haben eine ungünstige Prognose. In diesem Fall sind die Faktoren, die zur Gesichtslähmung des Patienten beitragen, eine Verletzung des Nervus facialis infolge der Weisheitszahnextraktion, unsachgemäße Pflege und ein verzögerter Behandlungsbeginn.<title>Fallbericht</title>Eine 23-jährige Frau stellte sich mit Taubheitsgefühl und Steifigkeit auf der rechten Seite im Bereich der äußeren Haut um die Lippen herum vor.

背景:周围性面瘫以急性周围性面神经麻痹为特征。虽然大多数病例没有可识别的病因,但有些病例与传染性或非传染性因素有关。自20世纪70年代以来,人们一直在研究单纯疱疹病毒-1(HSV-1)与周围性面瘫之间的潜在联系,并在拔牙后报告了少量病例。延迟治疗一年以上但仍没有恢复迹象的患者预后黯淡。在这种情况下,导致该患者面瘫的因素是由于智齿拔除、护理不当和治疗延误造成的面神经损伤。病例总结:一名23岁女性,表现为嘴唇周围皮肤右侧麻木和僵硬。这些症状在右下智齿拔除后持续了大约4年。体格检查显示House BrackmannⅡ级周围性面瘫。针灸和中医治疗的目的是促进神经修复和神经促进的影响区域。经过四周的治疗,患者的麻木和僵硬感有所减轻,因此停止了治疗。结论:针药结合治疗智齿拔除引起的周围性面瘫是一种安全、有前景的辅助治疗方法。然而,必须进行更大规模的随机对照研究,以确定这些补充干预措施是否对患者的完全康复具有显著的相加或协同作用。
