Article information Background: Post COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis is considered as one of the most long-term pulmonary complication of Coronavirus Disease [COVID-19], being an infectious respiratory condition, which characterized by progressive exertional dyspnea, fatigue, reduced exercise capacity and health related quality of life. The Aim of the work: This study aimed to determine the effect of combined exercise training on functional capacity in post COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis. Patients and Methods: Forty patients of both sexes with Post COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis with an age above 25 years old. They were recruited from the outpatient clinic at Al-Mamora chest hospital. Patients were assigned into two group; Group A [study group] which received 8 weeks [3 sessions per week] of combined exercise training [consisting of aerobic, resisted training] and breathing exercises along with the pharmacological treatment and Group B [control group] which received 8 weeks [3 sessions per week] of breathing exercise along with the pharmacological treatment. after thorough assessment of functional capacity through [6MWT], dyspnea during activity by mMRC, and measure Pulmonary function test [FVC]. Results: There was statistically significant [P<0.001] decrease of the mean values of mMRC dyspnea scale, a statistically significant [P<0.05] increase of the mean value of 6MWT after management that were significantly higher in group A associated with a non-statistical change [p-value >0.05] in the mean value of FVC. There were significant improvements in all outcomes [P-value<0.05] after management that were significantly higher in group A except the pulmonary function test [FVC] was a non-significant improvement [p-value >0.05]. Conclusion: Eight weeks of combined exercise training improves functional capacity decreasing patients’ physical and functional disabilities, promoting a much more independent and functional lifestyle.

Article information Background: According to reports, the macula provides a number of potential physiological and anatomical benefits for glaucoma detection and management. The Aim of the work: This study aims to determine if spectral domain optical coherence tomography [SD-OCT] measures of macular and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer [RNFL] thickness can reliably differentiate between primary open-angle glaucoma [POAG] and normal-tension glaucoma [NTG]. Patients and Methods: A prospective study enrolled 10 healthy participants, 29 glaucomatous patients: 13 with POAG and 16 with NTG. Diagnosis based on intraocular pressures, visual fields, and optic nerves. The following parameters were measured by SD-OCT B-scans: RNFL thickness [circumpapillary scan] and macular thickness [posterior pole asymmetry scan] in both eyes and then recorded in addition to the calculated inter-eye and intra-eye differences [asymmetry parameters]. Receiver operator characteristic [ROC] analysis was used to determine the optimum cut off value for the studied diagnostic markers [RNFL and macular thickness]. Results: Inferior macular thickness asymmetry [intereye] had the highest discrimination for normal-POAG [AUC=0.838, sensitivity = 61.5% at 80% specificity], followed by inferior RNFL thickness [intereye] asymmetry [AUC=0.808, sensitivity = 61.5% at 80% specificity]. For normal-NTG total macular thickness asymmetry [intereye] had the highest discrimination [AUC=0.756, sensitivity = 68.8 % at 80% specificity], followed by inferior RNFL thickness [intereye] asymmetry [AUC=0.700, sensitivity = 62.5 % at 80% specificity]. Conclusion: For the discriminating of NTG and POAG, the macular parameters function is comparable to the RNFL parameters. The top SD-OCT metrics with the best discriminating skills were intereye Inferior macular thickness asymmetry, the total retinal nerve fibre layer thickness, the intereye inferior retinal nerve fibre thickness, and the inferior macular thickness
