Abstract
Background. Reduced number of red blood cells and hemoglobin defined as anemia which lowering the capability of the blood to deliver oxygen to all body tissues. Anemia leads to fatigue and dyspnea on exertion, which can decrease a patient’s ability to accomplish normal daily living activities. Platelets and red blood cells aggregation increase with age, which decreasing the delivery of oxygen to the tissues by elevating blood viscosity flow in the microcirculation. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of anemia on Fatigue and Oxygen Saturation levels in Menopausal Anemic Women. Methods. An Observational case control study design, convenience sample of 50 menopausal women, their age ranged between 45 to 55 years old were divided into two groups (A&B). Group A consisted of 25 non-anemic women while, Group B consisted of 25 anemic women. All participants were evaluated through 6MWT for endurance, BS scale for exertion, FSS for fatigue and PULSE OXIMETER for oxygen saturation. Results. Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in endurance and oxygen saturation of group (B) compared with group (A) and also there was a significant increase (p < 0.05) in fatigue level and exertion level of group (B) compared with group (A), Conclusions: Anemic menopausal women have higher fatigue and exertion levels and lower endurance and oxygen saturation levels than non-anemic menopausal women.

Abstract
Purpose. Determination of Electronic Balance Board effect on Balance in Women in their postmenopausal period was the aim of this study. Subjects and Methods. Our study design was a randomized, single blind controlled trial. A total of 40 sedentary, medically stable women in their postmenopausal stage complained of poor life quality. The range of the participated women ranged between 50 to 65 years that were randomly allocated into 2 equal number groups: group (A), that participate in the electronic balance board training program in addition to balance rehabilitation program and aerobic exercise, and group (B), which received balance rehabilitation program and aerobic exercise. Each group received 3 sessions weekly for one month. The stability index, AP index and ML index was recorded before and after the intervention. Results. There were a significant reduction in overall stability index, AP index and ML index in group A in compared to group B at the stage of post treatment. Conclusion. A program of four weeks’ electronic balance board besides balance rehabilitation program and aerobic exercise yield improvement in the balance of the Biodex Balance System than a balance rehabilitation program alone in treating problems of postmenopausal balance.

Abstract
Purpose. To determine the effect of laser acupuncture on lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and back pain in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
Methods. Forty postmenopausal osteoporotic women, aged 55-75 years, were randomized into 2 equal groups. Group (A) received calcium and vitamin D3 supplement for 12 weeks, while group (B) received the same calcium and vitamin D3 supplement in addition to laser acupuncture therapy for 12 weeks. The T-score of lumbar BMD was evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and the back pain level was assessed by Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO-41) before and after treatment.
Results. There were a highly significant improvement in lumbar BMD and a highly significant reduction in back pain level within both groups (p = 0.0001). Comparing both groups post-treatment showed that there was a highly significant improvement in lumbar BMD (p = 0.0001) while there was a highly significant reduction in back pain level (p = 0.001) in favor of group (B).
Conclusion. Laser acupuncture is an effective modality in improving lumbar BMD and reducing back pain in osteoporotic postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Purpose. To determine the effect of erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser on pelvic floor strength as well as sexual satisfaction in women complaining of vaginal looseness.
Design. A single blind randomized controlled trial.
Methods. Thirty women complaining of vaginal looseness with a decrease in pelvic floor strength and sexual satisfaction, aged 40-50 years, were randomized into 2 equal groups. Group (A) received pelvic floor training exercise (kegel exercise) for 8 weeks, while group (B) received Er:YAG LASER in addition to kegel exercise for 8 weeks. All women in both groups were evaluated before starting the study, after 4 weeks and after 8 weeks of the treatment with Peritron device to assess pelvic floor strength and with Millheiser sexual satisfaction scale to assess sexual satisfaction.
Results. There was a highly significant increase in pelvic floor strength and sexual satisfaction at post 8 weeks and post 4 weeks of treatment, in favor of group (B) (P = 0.0001).
Conclusion. Pelvic floor training exercise (kegel) plus Er:YAG laser yield improvement in pelvic floor strength and sexual satisfaction in women complaining of vaginal looseness more than pelvic floor training exercise (kegel) alone.
