Abstract
Purpose. To investigate the effect of aerobic exercise and ketogenic diet on type 2 diabetic obese pre-menopausal women.
Methods. Thirty premenopausal obese women diagnosed as having type2 diabetic mellitus. They were selected from outpatient clinic of gynecology in t AL Kasr AL Ainy hospital Cairo University.. Their BMI was between 30 and 35 kg/m2 and their ages ranged from 45 to 48. They were divided into two groups equal in number, the study group (A) was treated by aerobic exercise, ketogenic diet and oral hypoglycemic drugs prescribed by physician, while control group (B) was treated by oral hypoglycemic drugs prescribed by physician. Blood glucose levels were evaluated by fasting blood glucose test and body mass index was evaluated by weight and height scale before and after performing study for 4 weeks.
Results. The obtained results showed a statistically significant decrease in weight, BMI and fasting blood glucose level post treatment in the study group compared with pre treatment (p < 0.001) while there was a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose in the control group post treatment (p < 0.001) and no significant changes in weight and BMI of the control group (p > 0.05). There was significant decrease in fasting blood glucose, weight and BMI of the study group compared with that of the control group (p < 0.001).
Conclusion. Ketogenic diet and Aerobic exercise have a significant effect in decreasing Weight, BMI and Fasting blood glucose level in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus, obese pre-menopausal women.

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.
