Purpose: International guidelines recommend that haemodialysis access is provided by an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), which enables frequent, reliable access to the circulation, but there are no guidelines to suggest whether these AVFs need to be ligated after kidney transplantation. Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality remain high in recipients of a kidney transplant, the persistence of a patent arteriovenous fistula (AVF) after transplantation may contribute to ongoing maladaptive cardiovascular remodelling. The ability to reverse this maladaptive remodelling by ligation of this AVF is unknown. We conducted this trial to evaluate the effect of AVF ligation on cardiac structure and function in stable kidney transplant recipients. Also we studied the ability of preoperative echocardiographic and non-invasive hemodynamic measurements, including the effects of acute temporary occlusion of the fistula, to predict postoperative left ventricular diameter and mass reduction, by the closure of the fistula. Materials and Methods: Nonrandomized controlled trial. kidney transplant recipients (>12 months after transplantation with stable graft function) were divided into 2 groups. The first referred for surgical arteriovenous fistula closure. The second group didn’t receive Fistula closure (control). Standard echocardiographic parameters, heart rate, and blood pressure were assessed preoperatively (fistula closure) at baseline. These measurements were repeated 6 months after surgical closure. Findings: Seventeen kidney transplant patients were prospectively studied with 11 case and 6 controls with no fistula closure. Surgical fistula closure decreased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and mass indexes (29.9_2.4to 27.4_2.1 mm/m2, P<0.001, and 141_37 to 132_39 g/m2, P<0.05, respectively), whereas no changes were seen in controls after a similar delay. Postoperative left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and mass reductions correlated best with the increases in total peripheral resistance (r_0.85, P<0.0001) and mean arterial blood pressure (r_0.64, P_0.006), respectively. Conclusions. Surgical closure of arteriovenous fistula reduces left ventricular diameter and mass in kidney transplant recipients.  The best predictors of those morphological changes are the rise in blood pressure and total peripheral resistance induced by temporary occlusion of the fistula. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Surgical closure of persistent AV fistula after renal transplantation to correct LV geometry and improve symptoms in terms of exertional dyspnea and palpitations.
目的:国际指南建议通过动静脉瘘(AVF)提供血液透析通路,这样可以频繁、可靠地进入血液循环,但目前还没有指南建议肾移植后是否需要结扎这些动静脉瘘。肾移植受者的心血管发病率和死亡率居高不下,移植后动静脉瘘(AVF)的持续存在可能会导致心血管重塑过程中的适应不良。结扎动静脉瘘能否逆转这种不良重塑尚不清楚。我们进行了这项试验,以评估在稳定的肾移植受者中结扎动静脉瘘对心脏结构和功能的影响。此外,我们还研究了术前超声心动图和无创血流动力学测量(包括瘘管急性暂时闭塞的影响)预测术后左心室直径和质量因瘘管闭合而缩小的能力。材料和方法:肾移植受者(移植后 12 个月以上,移植功能稳定)分为两组。第一组接受动静脉瘘闭合手术。第二组不进行动静脉瘘闭合术(对照组)。术前(瘘管闭合)基线评估标准超声心动图参数、心率和血压。手术关闭 6 个月后再次进行这些测量。研究结果对 17 例肾移植患者进行了前瞻性研究,其中 11 例为病例,6 例为未关闭瘘管的对照组。手术关闭瘘管可降低左心室舒张末期直径和质量指数(分别为 29.9_2.4 至 27.4_2.1 mm/m2,P<0.001;141_37 至 132_39 g/m2,P<0.05),而对照组在类似延迟后未见变化。术后左心室舒张末期直径和质量的减少分别与总外周阻力(r_0.85,P<0.0001)和平均动脉血压(r_0.64,P_0.006)的增加密切相关。结论手术关闭动静脉瘘可降低肾移植受者的左心室直径和质量。 这些形态变化的最佳预测指标是瘘管暂时闭塞引起的血压和总外周阻力的升高。对理论、实践和政策的影响:肾移植后通过手术关闭持续存在的房室瘘,以矫正左心室的几何形状并改善劳累性呼吸困难和心悸等症状。

Purpose: Diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) denotes an anomalous separation of the rectus muscles throughout their longitudinal axis, devoid of fascial irregularities. The current study sought to determine the prevalence of DRA and its potential association with pelvic floor muscular strength and urinary incontinence in the gynaecological population of Faisalabad. This was a cross-sectional study. Materials and Methods: A Convenient sampling technique was used for collecting data. A sample of 100 females from government hospitals of Faisalabad was taken. Study was conducted in Faisalabad from February 2018 to May 2018. Inclusion criteria of the research was, immediate postpartum ladies, females aged 18 to menopausal age, and females who had normal vaginal birth. Manometric techniques were employed to quantify the strength of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMS), with outcomes represented in cmH2O. The incidence of urinary incontinence (UI) was ascertained by querying patients regarding any manifestations postpartum. The extent of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) was gauged utilizing fingerbreadth assessments of the rectus abdominis muscles. This particular measurement spanned a distance of 4.5 cm both superior and inferior to the umbilicus, aligned with the linea alba. Findings: Results were analyzed through SPSS version 26. Diastasis recti abdominis was found to be present in 57% of the females. 7% of the women had very weak pelvic floor muscle, 38% had weak, 50% had moderate strength and 5% had good strength of pelvic floor muscles. Out of 100, urine incontinence was found in 59% females. There was no statistically significant correlation observed between diastasis recti abdominis muscle and either urinary incontinence or pelvic floor muscle strength, with a p-value exceeding 0.05. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Incorporate routine DRAM screening for postpartum gynecological patients. Educate women about DRAM, its risk factors, and prevention strategies. Promote postpartum exercises and physical therapy to strengthen abdominal muscles and pelvic floor. Provide nutritional counseling to address obesity, a risk factor for DRAM. Implement a multidisciplinary approach involving gynecologists, physiotherapists, and nutritionists. Conduct additional research on the long-term consequences of DRAM and effective interventions. Conduct awareness campaigns targeting both healthcare providers and the public to increase DRAM awareness.
目的:腹直肌分离(DRA)是指直肌在其纵轴上的异常分离,没有筋膜不规则。目前的研究旨在确定DRA的患病率及其与盆底肌肉力量和尿失禁在费萨拉巴德妇科人群中的潜在关联。这是一项横断面研究。材料与方法:采用简便的抽样技术进行数据采集。从费萨拉巴德政府医院抽取了100名女性样本。研究于2018年2月至2018年5月在费萨拉巴德进行。本研究的纳入标准为:刚产后的妇女、18岁至绝经年龄的妇女和正常阴道分娩的妇女。采用压力测量技术量化盆底肌肉(PFMS)的强度,结果用cmH2O表示。通过询问患者的产后表现来确定尿失禁的发生率。利用腹直肌的指宽评估来测量腹直肌(DRA)移位的程度。这种特殊的测量跨越了脐上下4.5厘米的距离,与白线对齐。结果:通过SPSS version 26对结果进行分析。57%的女性有腹直肌转移。7%的女性盆底肌肉非常弱,38%的女性盆底肌肉弱,50%的女性盆底肌肉强度中等,5%的女性盆底肌肉强度良好。在100例患者中,59%的女性出现尿失禁。腹直肌转移与尿失禁或盆底肌力的相关性均无统计学意义,p值均大于0.05。对理论、实践和政策的启示:纳入产后妇科患者的常规DRAM筛查。教育妇女关于DRAM、其危险因素和预防策略。提倡产后锻炼和理疗,加强腹肌和盆底。提供营养咨询,解决肥胖问题,这是患DRAM的风险因素。实施包括妇科医生、物理治疗师和营养学家在内的多学科方法。对DRAM的长期后果和有效干预措施进行进一步研究。针对医疗保健提供者和公众开展宣传活动,以提高对DRAM的认识。

Dr. Afshan Siddiq, Sidra Mohiuddin Soofi
Purpose: Over the years, plants have been used in treatment of various health ailments. Morus alba also known as White Mulberry is a deciduous tree which belongs to family Moraceae. Mulberry is rich in antioxidants such as hydrophobic flavonoids, polyphenols, carotenoids, vitamin A, C and E. Materials and Methods: This study analyses the central nervous system activities including memory enhancement, learning abilities, changes in behavior, cognition, anxiety and depression. These effects will be studied on experimental mice, which will be distributed in control and test groups. Aqueous fruit extract prepared by Maceration extraction will be given to test group in three different doses per oral over a time period of 30 days, whereas control will be given water for injection for same duration. Findings: Afterwards, changes in aforementioned effects will be observed to determine the pharmacological effects of taken fruit. The obtained results suggest an antidepressant like effect of mulberry in the initial two weeks of dosing. Afterwards it shows anxiolytic effect at higher doses. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: All these tests can be repeated weekly while dosing the animals daily for 90 days for chronic toxicity analysis. Furthermore, we can add a brain biopsy/histopathology to evaluate the changes in chemical neurotransmitters.

Purpose: Anterior knee pain begins when the kneecap does not move freely and bumps into the bottom portion of the thigh bone. This can be the result of the patellofemoral joint being out of alignment or the kneecap being in an abnormal position. The muscles on the front and back of your thigh are tight or weak. Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the term used to describe a common knee condition that causes pain in the front of the knee, near the patellofemoral joint. To determine the prevalence and functional limitations associated with anterior knee pain among female. Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in the district Gujranwala. The sample size was 237. General female population of age 20 to 40 was included in this study. Convenient sampling technique was used. A Kujala scores (anterior knee pain scale) was used for data collection. The total scores of the questionnaire were 100. Participants with score less than 84 were positive anterior knee pain and those who had score more than 84 were negative anterior knee pain results. Findings: Results shows that out of 237 participants 42 female with percentage 17.7% having positive results of ANP (anterior knee pain) and 195 females with percentage 82.3% have negative results of ANP. Conclusion: This survey concluded that the 17.7% of the subjects were positive for ANP according to ANPQ. It was more common in young females. The daily physical activities are impacted by ANP. The majority of respondents who received positive scores struggled with knee flexion and experienced pain that affected their overall performance.
目的:膝关节前侧疼痛开始于膝盖骨不能自由移动和撞击大腿骨的底部。这可能是髌股关节错位或膝盖骨处于异常位置的结果。大腿前后的肌肉紧绷或无力。髌股疼痛综合征(PFPS)是一种常见的膝关节疾病,它会导致膝关节前部髌股关节附近的疼痛。确定女性前膝关节疼痛的患病率和功能限制。 方法:在古杰兰瓦拉地区进行了一项分析性横断面研究。样本量为237。研究对象为20 ~ 40岁的普通女性。采用方便取样技术。采用Kujala评分(前膝关节疼痛量表)进行数据收集。问卷总分为100分。评分低于84分的受试者为膝关节前痛阳性,评分高于84分的受试者为膝关节前痛阴性。 结果:237名参与者中,42名女性(占17.7%)有ANP(前膝关节疼痛)阳性结果,195名女性(占82.3%)有ANP阴性结果。结论:根据ANPQ, 17.7%的受试者ANP呈阳性。在年轻女性中更为常见。ANP对日常身体活动有影响。大多数得分为正的受访者都在膝盖屈曲和疼痛中挣扎,这影响了他们的整体表现。

Purpose: Lateral epicondylitis, also referred to as "tennis elbow," is a painful condition resulting from the inflammation of tendons situated along the exterior of the elbow, which serve to connect the muscles of the forearm. The primary aim of this study was to assess and compare the therapeutic effects of phonophoresis with naproxen versus ultrasound therapy in managing pain levels and enhancing grip strength in individuals suffering from lateral epicondylitis Methodology: This quasi-experimental study comprised a sample size of 42 participants, selected through convenient sampling methods over duration of 8 months. The inclusion criteria stipulated that individuals of both genders, aged between 31 and 50 years, experiencing chronic pain in the elbow and forearm for a period exceeding 3 months, and exhibiting a positive response to the Mill's test, were eligible for participation. The participants were divided into two groups, each consisting of 21 subjects. Out of the 42 patients, 21 were assigned to Group 1, which received baseline therapy along with Phonophoresis utilizing naproxen, while the remaining 21 were allocated to Group 2, which received baseline therapy in conjunction with therapeutic ultrasound. Both groups had received baseline treatment of stretching and strengthening exercises. Four sessions of interventions were given per week, for four weeks. Intensity of pain was assessed by Visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after the treatment of 4 week and grip strength was measured by handheld dynamometer. There were two drop outs in group 1 and three in group 2. The collected data was analyzed and interpreted by using SPSS software of version 24.0 Findings: Among the 42 participants (with 21 in each group), 67% of patients in Group 1 were male, while 33% were female. In Group 2, 42.9% were male, and 57.1% were female. For Group 1, the median grip strength value before treatment was 60.00, which significantly decreased to 20.00 after treatment. Similarly, in Group 2, the median grip strength value before treatment was 70.00, and it also decreased significantly to 20.00 after treatment. The pre-treatment mean grip strength in Group 1 was 36.46±8.82, which increased to 50.59±11.33 after 4 weeks of treatment. In Group 2, the pre-treatment mean grip strength was 31.12±4.87, and it increased to 52.02±9.70 after treatment. A statistically significant difference was observed in both groups when comparing pre- and post-treatment grip strength values (p<0.001). However, the between-group analysis comparing Group 1 and Group 2 showed no statistically significant difference (p>0.05).. Recommendations: Based on the study's findings, both phonophoresis with naproxen and therapeutic ultrasound are effective in managing pain and improving grip strength for lateral epicondylitis patients. Clinicians should consider incorporating these treatments into their therapeutic regimens for such patients. Future research should consider lar
目的:外侧上髁炎,也被称为“网球肘”,是一种由肘关节外侧连接前臂肌肉的肌腱发炎引起的疼痛症状。本研究的主要目的是评估和比较萘普生与超声治疗在控制疼痛水平和增强外上髁炎患者握力方面的治疗效果;方法:本准实验研究共纳入42名参与者,采用方便的抽样方法,为期8个月。纳入标准规定,年龄在31岁至50岁之间,肘部和前臂慢性疼痛超过3个月,并且对Mill's测试有积极反应的个体均有资格参加。参与者被分成两组,每组21人。在42名患者中,21名被分配到第1组,他们接受基线治疗和使用萘普生的语音电泳,而其余21名被分配到第2组,他们接受基线治疗和治疗性超声。两组都接受了拉伸和强化锻炼的基线治疗。每周进行四次干预,持续四周。治疗前后4周采用视觉模拟评分法(VAS)评估疼痛强度,手持式测力仪测量握力。第1组有2人退出,第2组有3人退出。采用SPSS 24.0 版软件对收集到的数据进行分析和解释;结果:42例受试者中(每组21例),第一组67%的患者为男性,33%为女性。第2组男性占42.9%,女性占57.1%。组1治疗前握力中位数为60.00,治疗后握力中位数为20.00。同样,第2组治疗前握力中位数为70.00,治疗后握力中位数也显著下降至20.00。1组治疗前平均握力为36.46±8.82,治疗4周后握力为50.59±11.33。2组治疗前平均握力为31.12±4.87,治疗后平均握力为52.02±9.70。在比较治疗前和治疗后的握力值时,两组的差异有统计学意义(p<0.001)。但组间比较,组1与组2差异无统计学意义(p>0.05). 建议:根据研究结果,对外上髁炎患者来说,用萘普生和治疗性超声进行音游都能有效地控制疼痛和提高握力。临床医生应考虑将这些治疗方法纳入对此类患者的治疗方案中。未来的研究应考虑更大的样本量,并探索其他治疗方式,以确定最有效的治疗选择。此外,了解所述改善的长期影响和可持续性将有利于临床实践并提高患者护理结果。

Purpose: Adhesive capsulitis is a condition in which the tissues of the shoulder joint become tight and impede movement. It is characterized by gradual loss of both active and passive glenohumeral joint motion, resulting in fibrosis, scarring and contractures of the joint capsule. Patient with adhesive capsulitis usually have difficulty in performing overhead activities, as well as routine duties such as combing their hair, dressing themselves, and throwing a ball. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretch vs muscle energy technique (MET) on pain and disability in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Methodology: Study Design: This research employed a rigorous single-blinded randomized controlled trial design to investigate the comparative effectiveness of two manual therapy techniques in the management of adhesive capsulitis. The study was conducted in accordance with established ethical guidelines and principles. Participant Selection: A total of 30 participants, aged between 30 and 60 years, were recruited for this study. The selection process adhered to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the homogeneity of the participant group. Inclusion criteria encompassed individuals in the 2nd and 3rd stages of adhesive capsulitis, both males and females, those with comorbid conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, and individuals experiencing painful restrictions in active and passive glenohumeral or periscapular motion. It was essential that participants had the ability to understand Punjabi or Urdu and were willing to participate. Exclusion criteria included individuals with a history of post-traumatic immobilization, cognitive impairment, previous surgery or arthroscopy, cervical pathology, neoplasm/tumor, or reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Informed Consent: Before the commencement of the study, informed consent was obtained from all participants. The participants were fully informed of the study's objectives, procedures, and potential risks and benefits. The rights of voluntary participation and the option to withdraw from the study at any time were emphasized. Participant data were anonymized and kept confidential throughout the research process to safeguard privacy. Randomization: To minimize bias, participants were randomly assigned to two distinct treatment groups, Group A and Group B. The randomization process was conducted using a computer-generated method, ensuring that each participant had an equal chance of being assigned to either group. Interventions: The study employed two distinct manual therapy techniques for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. Group A received proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching, while Group B underwent the Spencer muscle energy technique (MET). Both interventions were administered over a duration of one month. Baseline Treatment: In addition to the primary interventions, all participants re
虽然这项研究提供了有价值的见解,但需要进一步的研究来探索Spencer MET和PNF治疗之间的长期影响和功能结果的潜在差异。较大样本量和较长随访期的比较研究可以更全面地了解这些技术的益处。

Purpose: Implementation science is the broader aspect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) translating healthcare education to clinical research and practice for public health and patient safety encompassing the hierarchy of evidence-based medicine (EBM), hence, serving as an integrative method of combing CSR towards healthcare corporate governance. This paper aims to model EBM under principles of valid contract formation as compliance to CSR theories of promoting positive health outcomes of patient safety leading to financial success and lessening the risks of mortality cases. Methodology: The elements of valid contract formation and sources of errors are the systematic plan for behavioral guidance of EBM practice. These determinants are crucial in refining the clinical judgment of medical experts together with other healthcare professionals in support with high-ranking databases of research publication, resulting to a greater impact of positive health outcomes of patient safety under “judicious” application of CSR. These principles of contract law are integrated for “measuring” the EBM’s financial success towards healthcare corporate governance. Findings: EBM is a scientific approach to handle medical cases and reports towards patient safety under clinical judgment of medical expert and healthcare team in corroboration with reliable sources of databases for medical research and review for reducing death rates in healthcare setting. SELECT Criteria Mechanism elucidated EBM as implementation science integrating CSR for behavioral compliance to healthcare corporate governance. First, the modeling of CSR as method to comply with EBM delineates the elements formed for valid contract formation in producing an “ethical” standard as responsibility for optimal patient safety as bargained promise under acceptance of the clinical team. Second, the illustration of the healthcare corporate governance in EBM practice as theory “measures” the reduction of healthcare expenditures from the exhibited means of diminishing mortality cases. Therefore, implementation science serves as an initiation for remediation process of reducing risks of death cases. Recommendation: Implementation science is very important in EBM practice in treating ways of lessening the probability of mortality cases under “ethical” or “judicious” patient safety guidelines as corporate social responsibility. Hence, it is recommended to develop systems for behavioral guidance in a more organized plan of targeting death reduction cases towards financial intelligence as fulfillment in implementation science.
目的:实施科学是企业社会责任(CSR)的更广泛方面,将医疗保健教育转化为公共卫生和患者安全的临床研究和实践,包括循证医学(EBM)的层次结构,因此,作为将企业社会责任与医疗保健公司治理相结合的综合方法。本文旨在建立有效合同形成原则下的循证医学模型,以符合企业社会责任理论,促进患者安全的积极健康结果,从而获得财务成功并降低死亡病例的风险。方法论:有效合同形成要素和错误来源是循证医学实践行为指导的系统规划。这些决定因素对于完善医学专家和其他医疗保健专业人员的临床判断至关重要,以支持高级研究出版物数据库,在“明智”应用CSR的情况下,对患者安全的积极健康结果产生更大的影响。这些合同法的原则被整合为“衡量”EBM在医疗保健公司治理方面的财务成功。 研究发现:循证医学是在医学专家和医疗团队的临床判断下,以科学的方式处理病例和报告,以患者安全为目标,并与可靠的医学研究和审查数据库来源相佐证,以降低医疗机构的死亡率。SELECT准则机制阐明循证医学是将企业社会责任行为合规整合到医疗保健公司治理中的实施科学。首先,将企业社会责任建模为遵守循证医学的方法,描述了在制定“道德”标准时形成有效合同的要素,即在临床团队接受的情况下,对最佳患者安全的责任是一种讨价还价的承诺。其次,实证医学实践中医疗公司治理作为理论“度量”的例证,从所展示的降低死亡率的手段中减少医疗支出。因此,实施科学是减少死亡案例风险的补救过程的开端。& # x0D;建议:实施科学在EBM实践中非常重要,在“道德”或“明智”的患者安全指导方针下,作为企业社会责任,治疗降低死亡率病例概率的方法。因此,建议在更有组织的计划中制定行为指导系统,以减少死亡案例为目标,以财务智能为实施科学的实现。

Purpose: To compare hamstring tightness in individuals with and without plantar fasciitis Methodology: 369 individuals (male and female) was evaluated This, cross-sectional study included individuals with, and without plantar fasciitis. Data will be collected from hospitals in DHQ Wazirabad, THQ Gujranwala, Aziz Bhatti Gujrat. Non probability convenient sampling technique was used. Goniometer was used for measuring range of motion for active knee extension. The data was collected under the rules and regulations of ethical committee of University of Lahore. Findings: This study's findings show that 50.27 percent of subjects had plantar fasciitis whereas 49.73 percent did not. Active knee extension test was used to determine whether participants had tight hamstrings. The results show that among the 49.73% of participants who did not have plantar fasciitis, 37.23% had negative results, while 12.50% had positive results. In contrast, among the 50.27% of participants who did have plantar fasciitis, 11.14% had negative results, while 39.13% had positive results. Conclusion: The study's goal was to determine if hamstring tension contributes to the development of plantar fasciitis. According to the current study, individuals with and without PF had their hamstring tightness evaluated. An active knee extension test was used to measure the tightness of the hamstrings. Following the completion of the current study, it was shown that patients with plantar fasciitis show higher hamstring tightness than individuals without plantar fasciitis. Recommendations: For study, it is recommended to gather data from several cities so that the conclusions may be generalized. Future research should examine additional risk factors for plantar fasciitis. The reasons of hamstring tightness should be addressed to reduce the chance of developing plantar fasciitis.

And total 233 males and females were evaluated. 18 to 39 years of males and females and who are willing to participate were included. Using a self-administered questionnaire, data was collected on demographic information (age, gender, occupation, height, weight, and BMI), as well as information specific to shoulder impingement syndrome. Findings: Total patients were 233.There were 19 patients who were underweight overall or 8.2%.There were 12 underweight individuals with positive Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 9.0%.There were 7 underweight patients with negative Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 7.0%.75 patients were overall healthy, and their proportion was 32.2%.There were 28 healthy patients with positive Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 21.1%.The percentage of healthy patients with a negative Neer's Test was 47, or 47.0%.There were 93 patients overall who were overweight, making up 39.9% of the total.There were 58 overweight individuals with positive Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 43.6%.Neer's Test results for overweight individuals who were 35 and whose percentage was 35.0% were negative. A total of 46 patients were obese, making up 19.7% of the total.There were 35 obese individuals with positive Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 26.3%.There were 11 obese individuals with negative Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 11.0%. Conclusion: This study reveals that the prevalence of shoulder impingement is associated with overweight or obese patients. The ratio of shoulder impingement was high in females. My result was significant. Recommendations: For study, it is recommended to gather data from several cities so that the conclusions may be generalized. In order to prevent people from developing shoulder impingement, obesity risk factors should be addressed.
目的:探讨报告肩部疼痛的年轻成人肩关节撞击综合征与BMI的关系。 方法:本分析性横断面研究涉及18至39岁的男性和女性。数据收集自古吉拉特市(市医院、古吉拉特医院和THQ医院)。本研究在概要批准后4个月内完成。共对233名男性和女性进行了评估。年龄在18至39岁之间且愿意参与的男性和女性都被纳入研究范围。采用自我管理的问卷,收集人口统计信息(年龄、性别、职业、身高、体重和BMI)以及肩撞击综合征的特定信息。 结果:共233例患者。有19名患者总体体重过轻,占8.2%。Neer’s Test阳性体重过轻者12例,占9.0%。Neer’s Test阴性的体重过轻患者7例,占7.0%。75例患者总体健康,占32.2%。Neer’s Test阳性的健康患者28例,占21.1%。Neer's Test阴性的健康患者比例为47%,即47.0%。总共有93名患者超重,占总数的39.9%。Neer’s Test阳性的超重个体58例,占43.6%。35岁超重人群的Neer's测试结果为阴性,其百分比为35.0%。肥胖46例,占19.7%。Neer’s Test阳性的肥胖个体35例,占26.3%。Neer’s Test阴性的肥胖个体11例,占11.0%。 结论:本研究揭示了肩撞击的患病率与超重或肥胖患者有关。肩关节撞击的发生率在女性中较高。我的结果很显著。 建议:对于研究,建议从几个城市收集数据,以便结论可以普遍化。为了防止人们发生肩撞击,肥胖的危险因素应该得到解决。
