Sažetak
Pozadina. Sindrom policističnih jajnika (PCOS) najčešći je endokrini poremećaj kod žena reproduktivne dobi i sugeriran je kao faktor rizika za kardimetaboličke bolesti. Ovisno o primijenjenim dijagnostičkim kriterijima, približno 10–15% žena reproduktivne dobi pogođeno je PCOS-om. Cilj. Ispitati kako manipulacija visceralnim organima utječe na hormonski profil kod žena s PCOS-om. Dizajn. Prospektivno randomizirano jednostruko slijepo kontrolirano ispitivanje. Okruženje. Ambulante Opće bolnice Sadat. Metode. Trideset pacijentica s PCOS-om regrutirano je i randomizirano u dvije jednake skupine: kontrolna skupina primila je terapiju smjernicama prehrane u obliku hipokalorične mediteranske dijete tijekom 12 tjedana, dok je istraživačka skupina primila iste intervencije kontrolne skupine uz dodatak manipulacije visceralnim organima (VM). Primarni ishodi bili su biokemijska analiza (FSH i LH) i BMI. Sve varijable mjerene su na početku i nakon 12 tjedana intervencije. Rezultati. Statistička analiza provedena je korištenjem sparivanog testa koji je pokazao značajno poboljšanje u obje skupine. Stoga, korištenjem mješovitog dizajna MANOVA i višestrukih parnih usporednih testova (post hoc testovi) za BMI i omjer LH/FSH nakon tretmana otkriveno je da su značajna smanjenja omjera LH/FSH (p = 0.007) u korist skupine B u usporedbi sa skupinom A, bez značajnih razlika u BMI između obiju skupina (p = 0.443), pokazujući da je VM skupina (B) učinkovitija od skupine (A) u biokemijskoj analizi (p < 0.05). Zaključak. Korištenje manipulacije visceralnim organima uz standardni program hipokalorične mediteranske dijete ima korisnije učinke na hormonski profil kod žena s PCOS-om.

Mohamed G. Ali, Mohammed A. Soliman, Amel M. Yousef, Fahima M. Okeel, Mohammed A.M. Sarhan – Impact of different types of anaesthesia for cesarean delivery on subacute low back pain intensity and disability: A retrospective cohort study. Fizjoterapia Polska 2022; 22(3); 116-121

Abstract
Background. Low back pain (LBP) is common after cesarean delivery. So, this study was conducted to assess and compare the intensity of subacute LBP and disability among women who underwent cesarean delivery with different anaesthetic types.
Methodology. This retrospective cohort study was conducted to 38 women “26 of them underwent cesarean delivery, assessed after 6 to 12 weeks from delivery, they were classified into: [epidural anaesthetic group (Group A) n = 6, spinal anaesthetic group (Group B) n = 13, general anaesthetic group (Group C) n = 7], they were either primiparous or multiparous who did not receive anaesthesia for at least one year prior to the last delivery, the other 12 women were the control group (Group D) who didn’t experience pregnancy or anaesthesia”.
Results. The mean values of visual analogue scale (VAS) in Group A, Group B, Group C, and Group D were 5.00 ± 1.67, 4.62 ± 1.12, 5.14 ± 1.21, and 2.17 ± 0.71, respectively. The ANOVA test revealed a significant difference in VAS (P = 0.0001; P < 0.05) among the four groups. while the post-hoc test revealed non-significant differences (P = 1.000; P > 0.05) between the three anaesthetic groups. Also, the mean values of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in the same four groups were 26.00 ± 16.68, 27.00 ± 11.72, 30.00 ± 6.87, and 25.00 ± 9.33, respectively. The ANOVA test revealed non-significant difference in ODI (P = 0.838; P < 0.05) among the four groups.
Conclusion. Epidural, spinal and general anaesthesia for cesarean delivery are associated with increased intensity of subacute LBP, but without significant differences between these anaesthetic types. However, they do not increase the disability.

Abstract
Background. Menopause and aging affect the health of obese women, provoking accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and inflammation. Obesity leads to major health problems, which increase the risk of debilitating diseases that lead to death. Thus, loss of weight and VAT are primary goals of treatment through modifications of dietary habits and exercise. Purpose of the study. This study was conducted to determine which is more effective on interleukin- 6 (IL-6) levels for obese post-menopausal women, whole body vibration training (WBVT) or high intensity interval training (HIIT). Subjects and methods. 45 post-menopausal obese women diagnosed with higher level of IL-6, their body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2 and waist/hip ratio (W/H ratio) > 0.8 participated at this study. Women were divided randomly into 3 equal groups in numbers; Group (A) followed low caloric diet (1200 Cal), Group (B) received WBVT and Group (C) received HIIT. Both groups (B & C) followed the same low caloric diet as group (A). Evaluation was done before and after 3 months of treatment, through measuring weight, BMI, waist as well as hip circumferences, W/H ratio and IL-6 levels. Results. The three groups revealed statistically significant improvements (P < 0.05) in all parameters after treatment compared to baseline. Also, there were statistically differences between the 3 groups after treatment, with the group (B) more favorable than groups (A & C). Conclusion. WBVT is more effective than HIIT on reducing inflammation via reducing IL-6 level in obese post-menopausal women.

Abstract
Background. Thoracic kyphosis is one of the manifestations of post-menopausal spinal osteoporosis so it is preferable to prevent incidence of kyphosis related to estrogen deficiency especially for premenopausal whose kyphosis start to be developed. Purpose. The aim of this study was to detect the effect of cold and ultrasonic therapy on postural kyphosis with middle back pain in pre and post-menopausal women. Materials and Methods. Sixty non-osteoporotic pre and post-menopausal women between the ages of 40 and 60 years, assigned randomly into 3 groups equal in numbers; each group consisted of 10 pre and 10 post-menopausal women; Group (A) received physiotherapy program followed by cold therapy, Group (B) received ultrasonic therapy followed by physiotherapy program, and Group (C) received ultrasonic then the physiotherapy program followed by cold therapy. The three groups followed the same physiotherapy program in form of strengthening, stretching and postural reeducation, three sessions per week for three months. The kyphotic index and pain were assessed by flexicurve ruler and visual analogue scale (VAS) respectively pre- and post-interventions. Results. Within the three groups (A, B & C) the kyphotic index and pain showed significant decrease (P < 0.0001) post treatment in both pre- and post-menopausal conditions, while they showed clinical improvement and non-significant difference (P > 0.05) when compared pre to post-menopause conditions in the pre- and post-treatment. The clinical improvement in the kyphotic index in group (A), (B) & (C) at pre as well as post-menopausal conditions were equal [(↓8.44% & ↓7.1%), (↓7.7% &↓8.12%) & (↓9.68% &↓11.08%)] and VAS were [ (↓32%&↓35%), (↓40% & 30%) & (↓37.55%, ↓31.57%)] respectively post treatment. Conclusion. Adding cold and ultrasound therapy to physiotherapy program have a clinical impact in reducing kyphosis and pain in pre- and post-menopausal women.

Reem H. Abdelhady, Amel M. Yousef, Maya G. Aly – Additional Effect of Electrical Stimulation for Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence: Literature Review. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(3); 80-85

Abstract
Aims. This narrative review aims to investigate the effect of adding electrical stimulation (ES) to pelvic floor muscles training (PFMT) in the management of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. Also, this review aims to provide a framework for future research in order to formulate more comprehensive, lifestyle-centered guidelines for treating women with SUI. Methods. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar databases using the keywords “Physical therapy modalities”, “Pelvic floor muscle training”, “Exercise”, “Electrical stimulation”, “Interferential”, “Pelvic floor disorders”, “Stress urinary incontinence” and “Women”. Reviewed literature was descriptively analyzed and summarized. Results. ES is effective in the treatment of the SUI comparing to control or placebo treatment, while there is a little evidence that support the use of ES as an additional treatment for women with SUI as studies showed high diversity of ES parameters used. Conclusion. Adding ES to PFMT may be helpful for women who find difficulty to voluntarily contract their pelvic floor muscles. More well-designed studies are needed to strength the evidence of using ES for treatment of women with SUI.

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
Background. Menopause causes reduction in bone strength. Wearing shoes with different heights in old women, affecting their performance while they’re working either in erect position or in 90˚ trunk flexion or complete trunk flexion. Purpose. This study was designed to investigate the effect of different heel height shoes on spinal configuration in osteoporotic post menopausal women, in different trunk positions. Methods. This study was carried out upon 40 post menopausal osteoporotic women who were selected from faculty of physical therapy wearing different shoes: flat, sneakers and 3cm heel height.Their mean age was, 49.05 ± 2.14 (years), mean body mass 79.02 ± 7.7 (kg), mean height 163.06 ± 6.17 (cm), and mean body mass index BMI 29.57 ± 1.9 (kg/m2). The spinal angle deviation was measured between 2 definite vertebrae while wearing different heel height and comparing it with the spine deviation using flat shoes. The changes in the spine position were recorded for (flat shoes, sneakers and 3cm heel height shoes) during erect position, flexion trunk 90 degrees and complete flexion trunk by the spinal mouse device. The spinal angle deviation was measured in 4 levels T1–T2, T7–T8, T12–L1, L5–S1 levels. Result. There was a significant effect of different trunk position on deviation of spinal angle. At the level of T1-T2, there was a significant difference in the mean value of spinal angle between the 3 positions using sneakers and 3 cm heel shoes. At the level of T7–T8,there was a significant difference in the mean values of spinal angle between the 3 positions using flat shoes, sneakers and 3 cm heel shoes. At level of T12–L1, there was a significant difference between the mean values of spinal angle while wearing 3 types of shoes, flat shoes, sneakers, 3 cm heel, from 90˚ trunk flexion and a significant difference in the mean value of spinal angle between the 3 positions using flat shoes, sneakers and 3 cm heel shoes. At the level of L5–S1, there was a significant difference between the mean values of spinal angle of the 3 types of shoe, at erect position and significant difference in the mean value of spinal angle between the 3 positions using flat shoes, sneakers and 3 cm heel shoes. Conclusion. At level of T1– T2 and T7–T8, as the trunk flexion increases the spinal angle deviation decrease. At T12– L1 level, when flexion 90˚ the flat shoes is the best, followed by the 3 cm heel height. At the level of L5–S1 at erect position the flat is the best,followed by the 3 cm heel height.

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.
