High Intensity Laser Therapy Versus Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy In Treating Lateral Epicondylitis
Get PDFBackground - Objective. Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is the primary etiology of lateral elbow pain, predominantly affecting the dominant arm. The objective of this investigation was to assess and contrast the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) in treating lateral epicondylitis.
Methods. Fifty-one patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis were separated into two groups: group one underwent ESWT, while group two received HILT. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Quick Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (QDASH), LE tenderness, handgrip strength and ultrasonographically assessed common extensor tendon thickness (CET) were assessed, before treatment, immediately post-treatment completion at the 3rd week and at the 9th week. Comparisons were done within each group and between groups.
Results. Prior to treatment, both groups demonstrated comparable characteristics (p > 0.05). Immediately following the completion of treatment, significant improvements were observed within each group across all parameters (p < 0.001), as well as in comparisons between the two groups, the HILT group demonstrated superior outcomes in all parameters (p < 0.05), except for CET thickness (p > 0.05). By the ninth week, significant improvements were observed within each group across all parameters (p < 0.05), with the exception of CET thickness (p > 0.05). The HILT group also demonstrated superior outcomes across all parameters (p < 0.05), with the exception of CET thickness (p > 0.05).
Conclusion. Both ESWT and HILT demonstrate efficacy in the management of lateral epicondylitis, However, HILT demonstrated greater superiority over ESWT
Practical Education Program and its Impact on Enhancing Perceived Self-Efficacy and Developing Soft Skills among of Al-Balqa Applied University Students
No full textIntroduction: The main goal of the faculties of educational sciences in universities is represented in developing the student-teacher in educational and professional aspects. Such faculties aim to meet this goal in order to enable the student-teachers to handle the responsibilities assigned to them. Such responsibilities are represented in raising up a generation who is capable of adapting with the knowledge and technical advancements in the field of education.
Objectives: The present study aimed to identify the impact of the practical education program on raising the perceived self-efficacy level of the student-teachers enrolled at Al-Balqa Applied University and improving their soft skills. The semi-experimental approach was adopted. The one-group research design was used.
Methods: The researchers of the present study used a pre-scale and a post-scale. The sample consists from fifty (50) female and male students. Two instruments were developed. They are: the perceived self-efficacy scale and the soft skills scale. The perceived self-efficacy scale consists from 16 items. It targets two areas, which are: (the personal self-efficacy in teaching, and the expected outcomes of the teaching process in teaching). As for the soft skills scale, it consists from (16) items.
Results: It targets the following areas: (communication skills in teaching, and cooperation & group work skills in teaching). It was found that the practical education program has a statistically significant impact – at the statistical significance level of (a = 0.05)- on raising the respondents’ perceived self-efficacy level (in terms of the personal self-efficacy, and the expected outcomes of the teaching process) for the favour of the post-scale. It was found that the practical education program has a statistically significant impact – at the statistical significance level of (a = 0.05)- on improving the respondents’ soft skills (in communication skills in teaching and the cooperation and group work skills in teaching) for the favour of the post-scale.
Conclusion: The study recommends providing more attention to the practical education program in the syllabus. That should be done through increasing the number of the hours dedicated for it. The study recommends adding another aspect to this program through which students shall be trained on planning and giving lessons, and assessing students within campus
Prevalence and Characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Retrospective Analysis of Hospital-Based Patient Cohort
No full textIntroduction: Autism spectrum disorders are marked by socialising and communication barriers as well as repeatable, restricted, and stigmatised behavioural patterns
Objectives: This paper describes a retrospective case series study of developmental disability cases to assess autism in patients of various ages
Methods: The patients’ age, sex, type, location of residence, severity of condition, and year of birth were recorded. Moreover, the time and mode of onset and clinical feature category were analysed and statistically assessed for several clinical factors.
Results: Initial symptoms appeared in 43.7% of the children aged one to five years and 41.6% of the children aged six to ten years. Moreover, the varying autism challenges faced by individuals of various ages were investigated. The youngest patient was a one-year-old toddler, while the oldest was a 20-year-old man. It was found that teenagers and young adults were diagnosed at a considerably earlier age than younger children. The greatest apparent variation in the diagnosis stage by patient age was seen in adolescents with PDD-NOS, followed by those with autism and Asperger’s syndrome. Currently, the treatment patterns and interventions for patients with autism are aimed at reducing symptoms that interfere with their daily functioning and quality of life. Consequently, therapeutic approaches invariably encompass several practitioners and are customised to an individual. The patients in the study were administered a variety of rehabilitation therapies based on the degree of their disorder, along with atypical antipsychotics such as Atomoxetine (Strattera), Methylphenidate (Concerta), and Risperidone to manage the severity of the disorders.
Conclusions: The above survey results facilitate a slightly earlier diagnosis of this developmental disorder, which will also be valuable to prescribers. The primary limitations of this study are a lack of statistics describing the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders and their therapeutic interventions in Saudi Arabia, as well as a lack of previous research on the research topic in Saudi Arabia
Integrating virtual reality technology with project-based learning: The effect on creativity cultivation in visual communication majors in china
No full textvisual communication design education often involves project-based learning (PBL). Traditional teaching methods will lead to incomplete coverage of course content, weak student autonomy, and lack of practical application, which is limited because did not pay attention to the cultivation of students\u27 creativity. Rapid development of virtual reality (VR) technology can help fill this gap. VR technology has the advantage of interactivity, immersion, experiential learning, so that in PBL students can get a richer, deeper design experience. This study examines how VR technology can be integrated in PBL to enhance Visual Communication Design students\u27 creativity. Specifically, this research reviews recent studies on PBL and on the application of VR technology in education. It then reports an empirical study where VR technology is used in the PBL setting to enhance art students\u27 creativity. Results from the study show that students immersed in the VR environment generate more creative ideas, and complete projects faster with higher quality. This research suggests VR technology can be an invaluable addition to traditional PBL. More broadly, it shows the great promise VR technology holds for improving quality of education across programs

Cross-Cultural Perspectives in Understanding Depression Challenges and Insights
No full textDue to cultural influences, depression has several forms and interpretations in different cultures. This paper examines the complex relationship between depression and cultural perceptions using cross-cultural research’s challenges and insights. To provide complete mental health care, one must understand cultural differences in depression manifestation, perception, and treatment.
Cultural influences affect how depression is diagnosed, treated, and acted upon. Cultural differences affect therapy outcomes and prevalence. Understanding depression in different cultures necessitates examining these distinctions.
This review aims to explain depression\u27s complexity by synthesising facts from many cultures. These research programs provide the foundation for culturally relevant solutions. Cultural diversity must be addressed in interventions to provide equitable and effective mental health care that appeals to diverse cultures.
Cultural elements in depression increase our understanding of the condition and stress the need for culturally sensitive and responsive interventions, which lays the foundation for more effective and inclusive mental health care systems
Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Therapies Balancing Cellular Equilibrium
No full textObjective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of antioxidant therapy in reducing cellular damage caused by oxidative stress and enhancing clinical parameters in a group of one hundred patients at a tertiary care facility.
Methods: A trial with 100 participants was carried out that was double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled. A placebo was given to the control group and Vitamin C was given to the intervention group. Oxidative stress markers were measured at baseline and at different points during the course of the trial. These markers included lipid peroxidation products, antioxidant enzyme activity, and levels of oxidative DNA/protein damage markers. Additionally assessed were clinical characteristics including blood pressure and metabolic profiles.
Results: Compared to the control group, the intervention group showed significantly lower levels of oxidative stress markers, as evidenced by a drop in lipid peroxidation products and a reduction in oxidative damage to DNA and proteins. Furthermore, the intervention group exhibited increases in the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Positive changes in blood pressure, lipid profiles, and inflammatory markers were observed in the intervention group receiving the specific antioxidant therapy, indicating potential improvements in cardiovascular health and oxidative stress status compared to the control group. These findings suggest a favorable impact of the antioxidant intervention on key clinical parameters associated with oxidative stress-related conditions.
Conclusion: In summary, antioxidant therapy has the potential to improve clinical parameters and mitigate cellular damage caused by oxidative stress. These results highlight the need for additional study to identify the most effective therapeutic approaches and point to the potential value of antioxidant therapies as adjuvant therapy in diseases marked by oxidative stress
Assorted Sides of Khariya, Munda and Oraon tribe of Jharkhand: A Cross-Cultural analysis
No full textCulture is as much needed for human life as bread, cloth, and houses. Culture reflects human life. This is a mirror. The better the human life, the better will be its culture. Where there is human society, there must be its culture. Culture plays an important role in any human society. Humans are different from animals and birds only because of their culture. It is the culture that separates one species from another. The desire for feeding and coupling is also found in animals and birds. They also live in groups. Living in groups They learn how to get food, learn to face, or avoid dangers, inform the group about dangers, and even fight to protect others from enemies. But they do not have culture. Culture is the innovative world created by man. Apart from nature, whatever is created by man, there is its culture. The language and culture of the tribals of Jharkhand can be traced in the special study of ancient remains, folk culture, folk literature, and folk language. Their signs can be found even if seen from a historical point of view. In this regard, Archer W. G., Banerjee G. C, Biligiri HS, Cardone L, Duarte G. S., Flore and Gheesens, Pinno H.J. And a deep study of Sharat Chandra\u27s books can also give indications. Through this paper, the author has tried to do a cross-sectional socio-economic comparative analysis between the three tribal communities living in similar geographical areas
