Abstract
Purpose. To assess the efficacy of visceral osteopathy for low back pain (LBP) caused by visceral dysfunctions.
Methods. Randomized controlled trial. This research included forty participants ranged in age from 25 to 40 years old who were suffering from LBP due to visceral dysfunctions. They were split into two classes of the same size; Study group (A) received visceral osteopathic manipulations once a_week for three weeks and Control group (B) received analgesic drugs only for three weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Owestry disability index (ODI) and Modified Schober’s test (MST) were evaluated for all participants in both groups before and after treatment.
Results: The comparison between both groups revealed significant decrease in VAS and ODI (p < 0.05) as well as significant increase in MST (p < 0.05) in favor of study group (A) post treatment.
Conclusion: Osteopathy is effective in pain management and functional status improvements in LBP patients.

Abstract
Background. Cancer-related fatigue is a persistent symptom in acute myeloid leukemia survivors, with associated decreased functional capacity, which further deteriorates their quality of life. The current study aimed to compare between the impact of aerobic training and resistive training on functional capacity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) survivors. Fifty nine patients with AML from both sexes aged between 35 and 45 years,were selected from hematology department in (BLINDED FOR PEER REVIEW), where the study was conducted. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups; Group (A) underwent aerobic training in the form of cycling within 50-60% of maximum heart rate. Group (B) underwent resistive training conducted in the form of a series of exercises using free weights, and dumbbells. Sessions were carried out three times per week, for a total of eight weeks period. Six minute walk test (6MWT), 10 repetitions maximum test (10 RM). Ventilatory functions test, fatigue severity assessment (FAS) and quality of life (QoL) scales were measured in both groups before and after the study period. Results. Significant improvement in 6MWT, maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and vital capacity in group (A), significant improvement in fatigue and QoL in both groups and significant improvement in 10 RM test in group (B). Conclusion. Both aerobic and resistive training significantly improved functional capacity in acute myeloid leukemia survivors with a more significant improvement due to aerobic training.

Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted to assess the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on Sympathetic ganglion in Leriche-Fontaine stage II peripheral arterial disease. Materials and Methods. Forty patients with unilateral PAD (Leriche-Fontaine stage II) were chosen from the Vascular Outpatient Clinic, El Sahel Educational Hospital. All patients were randomly divided into two groups of the same number. Study group and control group. Study group: received low-frequency 45 min per session, 3 times per week and 12 weeks. Control group: the placebo stimulation was delivered by same TENS device but with a voltage level falling to zero after 10 s of stimulation. Ankle peak systolic velocity (APSV), Arterial diameter (AD) and Actual claudication distance (ACD) were measured. Results. Descriptive statistics, such as standard deviation, mean, maximum and minimum, have been calculated for both groups. The t-test was conducted to compare the mean difference between the two groups after and before intervention and revealed a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion. It was concluded that application of TENS to sympathetic ganglion enhances in Ankle peak systolic velocity (APSV), Arterial diameter (AD) and Actual claudication distance (ACD) in patients with intermittent claudication.
