  2. Article ; Online: Treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome: a survey of physical therapists in Saudi Arabia.

    Alqarni, A / Khan, F

    Abstract Objective: Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is one of the most frequent causes of shoulder pain. Evidence supported the use of conservative treatment for SIS. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) indicated that physical therapy interventions, including therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, patient education, and advice, were recommended for the treatment of SIS. This study's purpose was to investigate physical therapists' adherence to the CPGs for treating SIS.
    Subjects and methods: Physical therapists in Saudi Arabia were invited to participate in an online survey via the Saudi Physical Therapy Association between May and December 2022. The developed online survey consisted of 36 questions, divided into five sections: eligibility, demographics, clinical practice regarding the treatment of SIS, barriers, and facilitators for the use of CPGs. Descriptive and logistic regression analysis were employed to analyze study data.
    Results: A total of 313 physical therapists completed the entire survey. In general, physical therapists were aligned with CPGs. Physical therapists advised their patients, utilized therapeutic exercises and manual therapy techniques, and used electrotherapy modalities despite being not recommended. Key challenges indicated by physical therapists for the use of CPGs include low patient adherence to therapists' instructions, lack of adequate knowledge, and limited clinical time.
    Conclusions: Overall, physical therapists in Saudi Arabia followed the CPGs for treating SIS. Therapeutic exercises combined with manual therapy were the most common treatment options. However, further research should consider exploring adherence to such guidelines over time.

    Abstract Agriculture is one of the major contributors to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Pakistan which relies on the availability of water. Hydropower contributes approximately 35% to the national electricity gid of Pakistan. Indus River is the main river of the Indus River System (IRS) which provides water for agriculture, hydropower and other purposes. The outputs of the Conformal-Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) are used to force the University of British Columbia Watershed Model (UBCWM) in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB), to investigate future water availability under the two IPCC emission scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Tarbela Reservoir which is the outlet of UIB is used as a measurement tool to assess water availability and response of the reservoir to climate change. The results show that maximum and minimum temperature are increasing in the future in comparison to the reference period. The largest increases in maximum temperature are projected for MAM (March-April-May) and JJA (June-July-August), with increases up to 2 °C in MAM and increases up to 6.4 °C in JJA under the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively, in the future. Minimum temperature has maximum increase (6.7 °C) in DJF (December-January-February) during 2071-2100 under RCP8.5. Precipitation shows a 5.1% decrease in DJF during 2011-2040 under RCP4.5. The statistics about water availability suggest that there is consistent increase in most of the months in the future, however, under the RCP4.5, there is decline in the river flow during 2071-2100 as compared to the 2041-2070. The findings of this study show that most of the time there will be more water available but in some months, there may be water scarcity under the RCP4.5, however, proper management and optimal utilization can reduce the water scarcity.

    Abstract Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that substantially diminishes one's ability to undertake daily living activities. Fatigue has been reported by at least 80 % of persons with MS (PwMS). Yet, little is known concerning the quantification of fatigability using prolonged walking tests.
    Objectives: To compare fatigability severity measures using the 10-minute walk test for PwMS against age- and gender-matched healthy controls (HCs).
    Methods: Participants included 53 ambulatory PwMS and 49 HCs. Perceived fatigability was measured by dividing a participant's change in self-reported tiredness by the number of meters walked. Performance fatigability was calculated by dividing the change in walking speed (at 2.5 and 10 min) by the total distance walked in meters.
    Results: There was a significant difference in perceived fatigability between PwMS and HCs (mean difference: 2.73 ± 0.83; p = 0.001) and in performance fatigability (mean difference: 0.24 ± 0.11; p = 0.01). Moreover, there were significant differences in speed and distance at all time points (p ≤ 0.05) between PwMS and HCs.
    Conclusions: PwMS have significant walking deficits as reflected by greater fatigability in both perceived and performance measures. These methods can enhance therapeutic strategies that improve the walking performances of PwMS.

    Abstract Candies are frequently consumed sweetened food products among children, and their consumption can expose them to potential toxins and contamination. The present study employed calibration-free-laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF-LIBS) as a steadfast diagnostic technique to analyze the presence of nutritional and heavy metals in candies from various brands available in local markets in Haripur, Pakistan. A pulsed Nd-YAG laser was used to create a microplasma on the target surface. The emitted light was collected using a dedicated spectrometer to analyze and quantify the species present in the candies. The analysis revealed the presence of micronutrients, macronutrients, and trace toxic metals such as Ca, K, Mg, Fe, Na, Al, Pb, Cr, Mn, Zn, Cu, and Ni. The optimization of our LIBS system was achieved through a parametric dependence study. The confirmation of the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium was achieved by assessing McWhirter's criterion and considering the relaxation time and the diffusion length of atoms in plasma. The highest concentrations (measured in mg/kg) of Pb, Cr, and Mn were determined to be 15 mg/kg, 340 mg/kg, and 880 mg/kg, respectively. The levels of Pb and Cr were found to be well above the maximum accepted limit set by the WHO. Similarly, the concentration of Mn in S-4 and S-5 exceeded the permissible limits set by the WHO. However, Zn, Cu, and Ni were found within safe limits in all the collected samples. In addition, the abundance obtained through CF-LIBS was compared to the concentration of similar (duplicate) candies samples analyzed using a standard analytical technique like inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy. Excellent harmony could be seen in both outcomes. Moreover, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was also utilized to confirm the presence of detected toxins. The significance of our findings lies in creating awareness among the public about the health risks associated with consuming toxins through candies, thereby protecting numerous human lives.

    Abstract Aging is one of the most promising risk factors for vascular diseases, however, the precise mechanisms mediating aging-related pathologies are not fully understood. Amyloid beta (Aβ), a peptide produced by the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP), is known as a key mediator of brain damage involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, it was found that the accumulation of Aβ in the vascular wall is linked to a range of aging-related vascular pathologies, indicating a potential role of Aβ in the pathogenesis of aging-associated vascular diseases. In the present review, we have updated the molecular regulation of Aβ in vascular cells and tissues, summarized the relevance of the Aβ deposition with vascular aging and diseases, and the role of Aβ dysregulation in aging-associated vascular pathologies, including the impaired vascular response, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation. This review will provide advanced information in understanding aging-related vascular pathologies and a new avenue to explore therapeutic targets.
