Abstract

Background. During the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, a set of clinically significant physical and psychological symptoms known as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) emerge. This condition can be extremely distressing and hinder females’ ability to work.
Purpose. To calculate the prevalence and severity of PMS and its biopsychosocial symptoms in female physiotherapy students in Eastern Delta and to investigate the relationship between various socio-demographic and reproductive factors.
Methods. At Delta University for Science and Technology in Gamasa, Egypt, 396 female physiotherapy students participated in an exploratory cross-sectional survey with a mean age of 20.23±1.07 years and BMI with a mean of 28.86 ± 5.05 kg/m2. The premenstrual syndrome scale (PMSS) was adopted to assess the prevalence of PMS and related symptoms, and a self-administered questionnaire was used to gauge sociodemographic and reproductive data.
Results: Three hundred ninety-six females of 438 females completed the study. In 85% of cases, PMS predominated research calculations. The PMS group displayed symptoms of fatigue, cramping in the abdomen, tension, mood fluctuations, and decreased productivity more overtly. According to a multiple linear regression analysis, living in a rural area, hitting menarche earlier, having a higher BMI, and having a family history were all significantly linked to PMS (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Female students have a high prevalence of PMS and its biopsychosocial symptoms. Therefore, adoption of preventive reproductive health and counseling services should be implemented as a standard component of routine clinical treatment for university students.

Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise versus dietary modification on visceral adiposity indicators in obese postmenopausal diabetic women. Design. A prospective, randomized, controlled comparative study.
Methods. Thirty-six obese postmenopausal women, suffering from type 2 diabetes (T2D), participated in this study. They were randomized into two equal groups. The exercise group received aerobic exercise program for 8 weeks (n = 18), whereas the diet group received dietary modification for 8 weeks (n = 18). The anthropometric parameters, fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and visceral adiposity indicators were evaluated for all women in the two groups before and following 8 weeks of treatment.
Results. All outcome measures showed statistically significant improvements within both groups (p < 0.05), with statistically non-significant differences between both groups after treatment (p > 0.05).
Conclusion. Aerobic exercise and dietary modification have similar positive effects on visceral adiposity indicators in obese postmenopausal diabetic women.

Abstract
Objectives. Postmenopausal osteoporosis, a major public health problem worldwide, is associated with low quality of life, morbidity, significant mortality and huge socio-economic burden. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of bioptron light therapy on postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Methods. Thirty postmenopausal women with hip osteoporosis, aged 50-60 years, were randomized into 2 equal groups. Group (A) received medical treatment in the form of calcium, vitamin D3 and sodium fluoride supplementation for 4 weeks (n = 15), while group (B) received the same medical treatment in addition to bioptron light therapy for 4 weeks (n = 15). The primary outcome was total hip T–score, while the secondary outcome was total score of Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO-41). The outcome measures were evaluated pre- and post-treatment.
Results. Comparing both groups pre- and post-treatment revealed that there was a statistically non-significant difference in total hip T–score (P > 0.05). Also, total score of QUALEFFO-41 revealed a statistically non-significant difference pre-treatment (P > 0.05), while post-treatment, it revealed a statistically significant reduction (P < 0.05) in favour of group (B). The percentages of improvement post-treatment in total hip T–score and total score of QUALEFFO-41 were 2.4% and 15.65% in group (A), while they were 11.29% and 31.63% in group (B).
Conclusions. Bioptron light therapy is effective in treating postmenopausal women with hip osteoporosis through producing a greater improvement percentage in total hip T–score and improving their quality of life.

Abstract

Objectives. It is well documented that acupressure has a beneficial effect on reducing pain severity of primary dysmenorrhea; however, none of the previous studies had investigated the effect of acupressure on prostaglandin levels in females with primary dysmenorrhea. This study aimed to investigate the effect of acupressure on prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) in primary dysmenorrhea.
Methods. A total of 50 adult females with primary dysmenorrhea participated in this study. Their ages ranged from 19 to 27 years and their body mass index (BMI) ranged from 20 to 25 kg/m2. They were randomized into 2 equal groups. Group (A) received nutritional modification for 3 consecutive menstrual cycles, while group (B) received the same nutritional modification in addition to acupressure at the liver point (LIV3) for 3 consecutive menstrual cycles. The primary outcome was plasma levels of PGF2α while the secondary outcome was short form of McGill pain questionnaire. The outcome measures were evaluated pre- and post- treatment.
Results. Comparing both groups post-treatment revealed that there were significant reductions in PGF2α levels and short form of McGill pain questionnaire scores (p < 0.0001) in favour of group (B).
Conclusions. Acupressure is effective in treating females with primary dysmenorrhea through reducing levels of PGF2α and scores of short form of McGill pain questionnaire.

Abstract
Aim: to explore the effect of forward head posture (FHP) on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) proprioception in post-pubertal females.
Material and Method. Forty post-pubertal females participated in this study. They were classified in accordance with the craniovertebral angle (CVA) into two groups. The Forward head posture (FHP) group had CVA of less than 48° (n = 21), while the control group had CVA of more than 48° (n = 19). TMJ repositioning accuracy had been measured by vernier caliper for females in both groups.
Results. Statistical analysis revealed that there were no significant (p > 0.05) differences between both groups regarding TMJ repositioning errors in all directions (mouth opening, protrusion and lateral movements) with eyes open or closed.
Conclusion and Discussion. In post-pubertal females, FHP has no negative effect on TMJ proprioception in all directions whether the eyes are open or closed.
