Objective: Measure the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM)/pre-diabetes among patients with hand nerves entrapment syndromes. Design: Prospective cross sectional. Settings: Outpatient. Participants: 412 patients presented with unilateral or bilateral hand numbness suspecting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Exclusion criteria: Cervical spine or hand trauma history, nerve injury history. Interventions: Each patient was subjected to the following; demographic data including occupation, body mass index, detailed medical history including DM history. Neck exam including Spurling test. Full neurological exam. Main outcome measures: Upper extremities Nerve conduction studies and electromyography of segment pointing muscles. Laboratory testing including glycosylated hemoglobin (HgA1c), liver and kidney functions. Cervical spine MRI if possible. Results: Mean age 59.4 ± 11.123. All patients were right-handed, Male 37.1%, female 62.9%, Mean body mass index (BMI) 32.2 ± 8.2. majority were manual workers (55.1%). HgA1c <5.5 has the fewest patients (7.3%), highest number of patients with HgA1c 5.5-6.0. significant relation between HgA1c categories and sensory CTS p=0.001 and sensory motor CTS p=0.001. No significant relation between HgA1c categories and demyelinating pathology p=0.123 but significant with demyelinating axonal pathology p=0.017. Significant relation between HgA1c and Guyon canal syndrome p=0.001 and polyneuropathy p=0.001. No significance between HgA1c and cervical radiculopathy p=0321. Conclusions: High incidence of DM and pre-diabetes among patients with hand nerve entrapment: CTS, Guyon syndrome together with polyneuropathy. EN may be the earliest neurophysiological abnormalities in DM, particularly in the upper limbs, even in the absence of a generalized polyneuropathy, or it may be superimposed on a generalized diabetic neuropathy. Due to the metabolic alterations consequent to abnormal glucose metabolism, the peripheral nerves show both functional impairment and structural changes, even in the preclinical stage, making them more prone to entrapment in anatomically constrained channels.

Good mental health should be free to all. However, the many factors that contribute to our daily and longer-term psychological well-being are rarely constant and where we need support finances are often a consideration, whether our own or those of the health services on offer. Furthermore, access to positive experiences of mental health is governed by a host of everyday and dispositional variables, over which we have limited control. This is certainly true of the workplace as elsewhere and the last decade has seen unprecedented progress in developing national strategies around the world to support mental health at work. However, in times of change and uncertainty, risks to psychological well-being increase and so this has proved during the waves of fear and loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, further fuelled by anxieties accompanying economic and political tensions and highlighted through inequalities, poverty and protest. This commentary considers the role of appropriate guidance for workplaces in relation to the mental health of employees, taking the UK as a case study example in times of economic and political challenge (e.g. Brexit) as well as the health emergency shared by all.

Background: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is identified as a neurobehavioral disorder characterizing inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity and functional impairment. Motor impairments are rarely part of assessments and typically not treated in ADHD. The outcome measures used for motor impairments lack consensus, limiting a uniform approach to rehabilitation. Therefore, a review of the literature to underline and verify outcome measures for motor impairments in ADHD in the pediatric population is needed. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-Sr guidelines to assess and categorize outcome measures used for motor impairments in the pediatric ADHD population. Pubmed Central, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for publications between 2009-2019 that reported on Motor impairments in pediatric ADHD and mentioned related outcome measures. The data are presented using a ‘narrative review’ or descriptive analysis of the contextual or process-oriented data and simple quantitative analysis using descriptive statistics. Results: 22 studies were included: 4 randomized controlled trials, 11 observational studies, and 7 experimental studies. The outcome measures found in the studies showed a divided application with no uniformity in their use as a prognostic or diagnostic measure. Conclusion: This review highlights the lack of uniformity in the outcome measures used for motor impairments in pediatric ADHD.

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread quickly around the world, and WHO categorized it as a pandemic in March, 2020. In India more than one million people have been infected with corona virus disease till date. In this situation, the entire healthcare system and healthcare staff need to respond in a very short time to an exponential growth of the number of COVID-19 patients. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is transmitted from person to person by large droplets from infected person by coughing, sneezing or rhino-rhea. An approximate distance of 2 meters is needed to protect from these droplets. SARS-CoV-2 similar to the other corona virus family which remains on the surface of objects for variable periods of time (at least 24 hours on hard surfaces and up to 8 hours on soft surfaces). Healthy people may get infected with this virus through touching the mouth, nose, or eyes with a contaminated hand. Infected droplets which were created during a sneeze or cough persist in the air for about 3 hours. It also reaffirms Standard Precautions as the foundation for preventing transmission of infectious agents during patient care in all healthcare settings by compiling different guidelines/ recommendation of various organizations and institutions published recently.

Sedentary Behavior (SB) is defined as the time spent engaged in sitting or lying down activities that require an energy expenditure of 1.0 or Lower Basal Metabolic Rates (METS). SB is associated with deleterious health outcomes and along with the time it has been considered a strong risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases. SB is associated with increased body mass, blood pressure, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic disease in general. SB may exacerbate the loss of muscle mass and strength, found that among healthy adults or adults with chronic pain. SB is also linked with numerous adverse mental, poor body composition, and Quality of Life (QOL). Reducing SB may be feasible through interventions that target sedentary behavior and physical activity. Considering the effects of the Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) exercise, this type of physical exercise might be an intervention to counterbalance some consequences of the SB. Considering the biological effects of the WBV exercises, this mini review aims to present scientific shreds of evidence that this kind of exercise might counterbalance some negative effects of the SB related to the pain, muscle strength and function, mental conditions, body composition, and QOL. The results suggest that WBV exercise can be a feasible and efficient exercise intervention for the management of individuals with SB. In conclusion, there are findings that WBV exercise seems a clinical intervention to counterbalance the effects of SB, because have been demonstrated potential benefits of vibration stimulus on muscular endurance improvement and pain level reduction, improvements in muscle function, body composition, QOL, and neurological conditions for individuals living with the SB.

Objective: Measure the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) among patients with shoulder impingement syndrome and the factors that can modify that disease. Design: Prospective. Settings: Outpatient. Participants: 412 patients presented with unilateral or bilateral shoulder pain suspecting shoulder impingement neuromuscular diseases, or syndrome. Exclusion criteria: Those having manifestations suggesting of cervical radiculopathy, shoulder trauma history. Interventions: Each patient was subjected to the following; demographic data including occupation, body mass index, detailed medical history including DM history. Shoulder exam including impingement provocative tests; Hawkin test, Neer’s sign. Neck exam including Spurling test. Full neurological exam. Main outcome measures: Laboratory testing including glycosylated hemoglobin (HgA1c), liver and kidney functions. Shoulder MRI if possible. Results: Mean age 59.4 ± 11.123. All patients were right-handed, Male 37.1%, female 62.9%, Mean body mass index (BMI) 32.2 ± 8.2. Majority were manual workers (55.1%). No significant relationship between shoulder impingement sex but significant with BMI and age.

Neurofibromatosis is a hereditary issue of the sensory system. Tumors structure on your nerve tissues. Predominantly, neurofibromatosis problems influence the development and improvement of nerve cell tissue. The problems are known as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). NF1 is the more normal kind of neurofibromatosis. Schwannomatosis has as of late been recognized as a third and more uncommon sort of neurofibromatosis, however specialists don’t think a lot about it yet. You may likewise hear NF1 called Recklinghausen sickness, von Recklinghausen illness, von Recklinghausen’s phakomatosis, von Recklinghausen’s neurofibromatosis, neurofibroma (various), neurofibromatosis-pheochromocytoma-duodenal carcinoid condition, or fringe neurofibromatosis. It causes numerous bistro au lait spots (patches of tan or light earthy colored skin) and neurofibromas (delicate, beefy developments) on or under your skin. It can likewise cause extended or distorted bones and ebb and flow of the spine (scoliosis). Incidentally, tumors may create in the mind, on cranial nerves, or on the spinal rope. About half to 75% of individuals with NF1 likewise have learning inabilities. NF2 is likewise called two-sided acoustic neurofibromatosis, vestibular schwannoma neurofibromatosis, or focal neurofibromatosis. It’s substantially less basic than NF1 and is portrayed by numerous tumors on the cranial and spinal nerves. Tumors that influence both of the hear-able nerves and hearing misfortune starting in the youngsters or mid 20s are by and large the primary indications of NF2.

Tumors structure on your nerve tissues. Predominantly, neurofibromatosis problems influence the development and improvement of nerve cell tissue. The problems are known as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). NF1 is the more normal kind of neurofibromatosis. Schwannomatosis has as of late been recognized as a third and more uncommon sort of neurofibromatosis, however specialists don’t think a lot about it yet. You may likewise hear NF1 called Recklinghausen sickness, von Recklinghausen illness, von Recklinghausen’s phakomatosis, von Recklinghausen’s neurofibromatosis, neurofibroma (various), neurofibromatosis-pheochromocytoma-duodenal carcinoid condition, or fringe neurofibromatosis. It causes numerous bistro au lait spots (patches of tan or light earthy colored skin) and neurofibromas (delicate, beefy developments) on or under your skin. It can likewise cause extended or distorted bones and ebb and flow of the spine (scoliosis). Incidentally, tumors may create in the mind, on cranial nerves, or on the spinal rope. About half to 75% of individuals with NF1 likewise have learning inabilities. NF2 is likewise called two-sided acoustic neurofibromatosis, vestibular schwannoma neurofibromatosis, or focal neurofibromatosis. It’s substantially less basic than NF1 and is portrayed by numerous tumors on the cranial and spinal nerves.
