Abstract
Purpose. To assess the prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) among students of Applied Medical Science College, El-Qurayat, Jouf University, Saudi Arabia.
Methods. A cross-sectional design. Two hundred eighty-four female students were recruited from Applied Medical Science College, ElQurayat, Jouf University, Saudi Arabia, to participate in this study. Demographic characteristics and menstrual, gynecological and medical histories were assessed by a structured interviewing questionnaire, hirsutism was assessed by Ferriman and Gallwey scoring system (1961), acne was assessed by Global Acne Grading Scale (GAGS), and body mass index (BMI) was calculated through dividing weight by height squared.
Results. Out of 284 participants, the prevalence of PCOS was 14.7%.
Conclusion. The prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome among female students of Applied Medical Science College, El-Qurayat, Jouf University, Saudi Arabia, was 14.7%.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(3); 156-162

Abstract
Background. Neck pain can have an insidious [mechanical] or traumatic onset. Mechanical neck pain is defined as pain in the cervical spine and shoulder area with symptoms of neck position, movements or contact with cervical muscles. Aim. is to compare the effect of ischaemic compres-sion (IC) and myoficial release of the trapezius muscle in patients with mechanical neck pain. Mate-rials and methods. A two-week randomized experimental study. Thirty female patients who had mechanical neck pain, aged from 18 to 55 years old, were randomized into 2 equal groups. Group A received myofascial release technique plus cryotherapy for two weeks, 3 sessions per week., while Group B received ischemic compression plus cryotherapy for two weeks, 3 sessions per week. All participants in both groups were evaluated before and after training for Visual Analog scale (VAS), Neck disability index (NDI) and cervical range of motion by Universal Goniometer. Re-sults. There was a significant decrease in VAS and NDI post treatment in the group A and B com-pared with that pretreatment (p > 0.05). There was a significant increase in neck ROM post treat-ment in the group B and A compared with that pretreatment (p > 0.001). Comparison between the group A and B post treatment revealed a significant decrease in VAS and NDI of the group B com-pared with that of the group A (p > 0.05). Also, there was a significant increase in flexion, exten-sion, side bending, and rotation of the group B compared with that of the group A (p > 0.001). Con-clusions. It was concluded that application of ischemic compression 3 times / weeks for 2 weeks is an effective short-term method to reduce pain, increasing cervical ROM, and functional abilities of patients with mechanical neck pain.

Abstract
Objective. This study aimed to determine the effect of Cryotherapy and selected knee exercises on clinical outcomes of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Materials and Methods. The researchers utilized interrupted time series research design. Data collection started from 1st of February to the end of August 2017 at Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department, Menofia University Hospitals. A purposive sample of 100 patients with primary knee osteoarthritis assigned alternatively into two equal groups, 50 patients for each group. 91 patients completed the study (48 in group I and 43 in group II). Three instruments were used for data collection. Clinical data assessment sheet, WOMAC knee osteoarthritis scale, and Knee stroke test.
Results and discussion. There was statistically significant improvement in knee joint pain, stiffness, and physical function in study group I throughout the study (p = 0.000) while there wasn’t any statistically significant difference between both groups throughout the assessment time in joint pain (p = 0.236), stiffness (p = 0.454), and physical function (p =.201). There was a statistically significant suppression in knee joint swelling in the study group I P =0.000.
Conclusion: Knee joint pain, stiffness and physical function is enhanced among Knee osteoarthritis patients who performed exercise program followed by cryotherapy and in those who exposed to conventional therapy. Knee swelling is decreased in patients performed exercise program and cryotherapy.

Streszczenie

Objective. The purpose of this study was to compare two physiotherapy programs for rehabilitation of patients after temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy. Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with closed lock and treated with arthroscopic lysis and lavage participated in this study, patients were divided into two groups: Group A (immediate program): included thirty patients rehabilitated with immediate full range of motion self-exercises. Group B (gradual program): included thirty patients rehabilitated with progressively increasing range of motion self-exercises. Outcome Measures. Maximum mouth opening (MMO) by measuring distance between the upper and lower incisors while the patient actively opens the mouth were assessed by Ruler, Pain assessment was done by using visual analogue scale. The measurements taken by the end of first month of treatment, analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results. Statistical analysis showed significant improvement in MMO and pain outcomes for the immediate group than for the gradual group. Conclusion. Based on the obtained results this study concluded that, a physiotherapy program consisting of immediate postoperative full range of motion mobilizations achieves better results (in terms of pain and mouth opening) than a physiotherapy program consisting of gradual and controlled increases in range of motion of closed lock of the TMJ after arthroscopic treatment.
