Importance of pilates in treating neck pain due to over use of smartphones and laptops: A short review

This study have thrown light on the importance of pilates in treating neck pain after long use of smart phones, laptops or on playstations.Pilates are useful for treating of neck but its not as much important alone compared to traditional therapy.

Therapy Treatment

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of mobilizations along with hot therapy versus mobilizations for the management of chronic neck pain due to over usage of smart phones among young. Materials and Methods: This interventional clinical trial was conducted at OPD, Institute of Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Sciences (IPRS) in Liaquat University Medical and Health Sciences Jamshoro (LUMHS). All the individuals from LUMHS Jamshoro including students, age 18-35 years and either of gender were included. All the individuals were divided in two groups (group A and group B). Cases of group A were underwent management of mobilization with hot therapy and cases of group B underwent only mobilization management. Outcome was observed in the terms of decrease the pain during work, reading and sleeping. All the data was recorded via study proforma. Results: Total 64 individuals were studied. Mean age was 26.2+4.2 years in group A and 28.6+5.3years. Males were in majority in both groups. According to the pain assessment on movement, mild pain was in 18.8%, moderate pain was 50.0%, severe pain was in 12.5% and very severe pain was in 18.85 of the patients of group A. However in group B most of the patients 93.8% had mild pain and 6.2% patients had severe pain, while no any patients with moderate pain and very severe pain was found in group B. After treatment pain was more decreased in patients of group A as pain during work, reading and sleeping was significantly higher in only mobilizations treatment group as compared to those underwent mobilizations with hot therapy treatment, p-values were quite significant. Conclusion: It was concluded that the treatment of mobilization with Hot pack was more effective than treatment only mobilization.

Laboratory Parameters

The article presents as an introduction a short review on the problem of membranous nephropathy. A patient suffering from membranous nephropathy that is resistant to traditional therapy with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphane, as well as cyclosporine, was selected as a clinical case. The use of rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m2 twice with a difference of one week led to the development of remission in the patient, normalization of clinical and laboratory parameters. No side effects of rituximab were detected.

Multiple Component

Selected area electron diffraction (SAD) has been used successfully to determine crystal structures, identify traces of minerals in rocks, and characterize the phases formed during thermal treatment of micron-sized particles. There is an increased interest in the method because it has the potential capability of identifying micron-sized pollutants in air and water samples. This paper is a short review of the theory behind SAD and a discussion of the sample preparation employed for the analysis of multiple component environmental samples.

And Function

Abstract The Popeye domain-containing gene family encodes a novel class of cAMP effector proteins in striated muscle tissue. In this short review, we first introduce the protein family and discuss their structure and function with an emphasis on their role in cyclic AMP signalling. Another focus of this review is the recently discovered role of POPDC genes as striated muscle disease genes, which have been associated with cardiac arrhythmia and muscular dystrophy. The pathological phenotypes observed in patients will be compared with phenotypes present in null and knockin mutations in zebrafish and mouse. A number of protein–protein interaction partners have been discovered and the potential role of POPDC proteins to control the subcellular localization and function of these interacting proteins will be discussed. Finally, we outline several areas, where research is urgently needed.
