Aims: Characterize Craniomandibular Disorders (CMDs) and arthralgia individuals regarding factors of age, joint noises, frequency of burning pain and severity of pain. Material and Methods: 25 CMD and arthralgia patients, 39 CMDs and capsulitis patients were retrieved from a large sample of  CMD patients and were compared with a control Non CMD group. History of sign and symptoms, questionnaires, clinical examination, description of pain, diagnostic tests and criteria for CMDs were used. Results: Mean age in the experimental (CMD+arthralgia group) was about 40.2 years old. The frequency of joint noises was about 72%   in the CMDs+arthralgia group as compared to the other two control groups (56.4% and 40.6%) . Bilateral reciprocal click was also more frequently in the experimental group than in the controls and the difference was statistically significant. The frequency of  severe pain was much higher in the  CMD+arthralgia than in the CMD+capsulitis group (80% and 10.2% respectively). The description of burning pain was observed  exclusively  in the CMD+arthralgia group. Finally, the frequency of pain increased from the Non CMD to the CMD+capsulitis and to the CMD+arthralgia group. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that arthralgia is a more chronic disorder characterized  by burning pain, more severe pain and higher  frequency of  joint noises, specifically unilateral reciprocal click.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of mindfulness-based psychoeducation on internalized stigma in patients with schizophrenia. The patients were recruited from the community mental health centers. This quasiexperimental study was conducted using pretests and posttests with a control group. The participants were 69 patients with schizophrenia; 34 were part of the experimental group and 35 were part of the control group. The patients in the experimental group participated 2 days a week for 6 weeks in a total of 12 sessions which were given in the form of face-to-face group training. The difference between the scale mean posttest scores of the patients in the experimental and control groups was found to be statistically significant ( p < .05). In the intragroup comparisons, a significant difference was found between the stigma mean scores in the experimental group ( p < .05). It was concluded that mindfulness-based psychoeducation was effective in reducing stigma in patients with schizophrenia.

The writing-across-the-curriculum movement suggests that writing assignments can enable students to think more clearly about a discipline. Performance of three groups of beginning psychology students on class tests under two conditions was compared (1) after completing lecture-based writing assignments ( ns = 21 and 23) and (2) without writing assignments ( n = 25). Test performance improved for one experimental group on the objective portion and for the other experimental group on the essay portion of the tests; however, the experimental and control groups did not differ on the comprehensive multiple-choice final examination. The two experimental groups were taught by different instructors, which might account for the difference in test scores. Responses to the questionnaire indicated that students responded positively to the writing assignments. Faculty stated that the writing assignments provided them valuable information about students' learning.

Conservative treatments results for plantar fasciitis patients are inconsistent and therefore manipulating risk factors could be the best option for this disease. To determine risk factors of plantar fasciitis. In a retrospective study, all patients who had plantar fasciitis were enrolled and were compared to control group on their demographic characteristics. The angle of dorsi-flexion was recorded by examination of orthopedic surgeon, history of pregnancy and time of standing in one day. Plantar curvature was measured by orthopedic surgeon. Female sex percentage was significantly higher in PF group than male sex (p=0.007), but the difference in sex was not significant between PF and control groups (p=0.22). Body mass index (BMI) above 30 was significantly higher in PF group compare to control group (p=0.013). Presence of bony spur was significantly higher in PF group compare to control group (p=0.03). There were significant differences in foot curve degree in patients between PF and control groups (p=0.037). Odds ratio (OR) of plantar fasciitis was 1.65 times in patients with bony spur. History of pregnancy increase OR of plantar fasciitis 1.37 times (OR:1.37; 95% CI:1.20-1.82, p=0.017). Plantar fasciitis is associated with higher BMI, pregnancy, bony spur and foot curve cavus. However, it seems that a predisposing foot structural factor should also be accompanied with these risk factors.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether women with chemical sensitivity rated the intensity and pleasantness of three odorants [peppermint, vanilla, and propylene glycol (PG)] and odorless room air differently than women without chemical sensitivity. The ratings of the experimental group (women with self-reported chemical sensitivity and no history of sexual abuse) were compared to those of two control groups who did not report chemical sensitivity [sexually abused (SA) women and healthy women without sexual abuse history]. All subjects were exposed to odorants and odorless control stimuli once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. Our findings indicate that women with chemical sensitivity perceive odorants as neither more or less intense nor more or less pleasant than women without chemical sensitivity. Moreover, the control women without sexual abuse outperformed the women in the other two groups by correctly identifying the target bottle containing the odorant. These findings suggest that perception of odorants alone is unlikely to account for the symptoms associated with chemical sensitivity. These findings, along with those of Doty et al. (1988), support the notion that olfactory-sensory function does not differ between individuals with and without chemical sensitivity.

Objective. The study determined the safety, efficacy and acceptability of a Philippine community preparation of Siling Labuyo liniment in the management of knee osteoarthritis. Methods. A 6-week randomized, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trial was conducted in three municipalities of Cavite from 2017-2018. The municipalities were randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group, using a commercially available Diclofenac 1% gel as the control agent. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to measure the outcomes. Results. Forty-seven participants completed the study. Statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) in pain relief, reduction of symptoms and increase in knee functionality was reported by participants in both the experimental and control groups. Across the dimensions measured, at least 30% improvement in scores was reported by the experimental group, and at least 40% by the control group. The difference was statistically not significant (p>0.05). Itching (13%), burning sensation (11%) and reddening of the skin (15%) were experienced in both the experimental and the active control groups. Conclusion. Use of the liniment led to a modest therapeutic effect and was well-tolerated by the participants.

Objective. To test the hypothesis that otalgia occurs frequently in CMDs patients and increases with the severity of Temporomandibular internal derangements (TMJ-IDs). Method. 221 CMDs patients and two control groups were evaluated. We used clinical examination, questionnaires, biomechanical tests and established criteria for TMJ-IDs. Individuals were allocated to TMJ-ID groups to compare otalgia frequencies. Following assessment of frequency of otalgia in the CMD group, individuals were allocated to TMJ-ID subgroups with capsulitis, retrodiskal pain, disk-attachment pain, arthralgia and osteoarthritis (OA). Results. Otalgia frequency was higher in CMDs patients than in the two control groups and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.0001 and p><0.003). Otalgia frequency increased with the severity of TMJ-IDs (Chi-square trend analysis p><0.0001). Frequency of otalgia was higher in the disk attachment pain, arthralgia and osteoarthritis subgroups. Conclusion. The frequency of otalgia was higher in CMDs and increases with the severity of TMJ-ID. Those presenting more severe TMJ-IDs demonstrated higher frequencies of otalgia. The results of this study suggest a relationship between disk displacement, stages of internal joint derangements, pain and TMJ otalgia.>

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of differentiated instruction on students’ achievement in Plane Trigonometry. It tried to determine the pretest and posttest performance of experimental and control groups, the difference on scores of students in the pretest and in the posttest, and the difference from pretest to posttest scores in the two groups of students. The quasi-experimental design was used in the study. Two intact class of first year college students enrolled in Plane Trigonometry in School Year 2017-2018 were purposively sampled and used for the study. One class was randomly assigned to experimental group while the other served as the control group. Instructions were made using flexible groupings and varied formats (cooperative learning, individual or group projects, and whole-class discussion) with various strategies such as agenda, compacting, cubing, vocabulary choice boards, tier assignment, think-tac-toe, and RAFT activity. The students explored, collaborated, worked in pairs or groups in different activities. Data were tabulated and analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, and t-test for independent samples with the aid of the statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The findings revealed that the experimental group and control groups showed significant improvement in students’ performance in plane trigonometry.  However, the score suggested that the improvement of the scores under the experimental group was defined and noticeable. Generally, the results revealed that students who were taught differentiated instruction performed better than those taught using the conventional instructional approach.
