摘要
目的：确定射频对绝经后妇女的人体测量学指标和脂质谱的影响。
材料和方法：六十名被诊断为腹部脂肪过多和脂质谱异常的绝经后妇女被纳入本研究。参与者随机分配到两个相等的组中。A组遵循地中海饮食并进行了12周的有氧运动（n=30），而B组遵循地中海饮食并参加了相同12周期的有氧运动和射频治疗（n=30）。两组在12周计划之前和之后都进行了人体测量学指标（包括体重、体质量指数（BMI）、腰围）和脂质谱成分（包括总胆固醇（TC）、高密度脂蛋白（HDL）、低密度脂蛋白（LDL）、极低密度脂蛋白（VLDL）和甘油三酯（TG））的评估。
结果：在两组中所有结果指标均有显著改善（p < 0.05）。治疗后比较，两组在所有人体测量学指标、LDL和TG上都显示出统计学上显著的降低（p < 0.05），而HDL的显著增加（p < 0.05）则有利于B组。然而，治疗后两组间在TC和VLDL上没有显著差异（p > 0.05）。
结论：射频对绝经后妇女的人体测量学指标和脂质谱有积极影响。

Fayka E Ali, Fahima M Okeel, Amir A Gabr, Amel M Yousef, Abdullah M. Al-Shenqiti, Mohamed Ahmed Elbedewy – Effect of whole body vibration versus high intensity interval training on interleukin-6 in obese post-menopausal women. Fizjoterapia Polska 2022; 22(2); 144-149

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.

Robert Kowalski, Joanna Kałuża-Pawłowska, Marek Kiljański – The impact of magnetostimulation on the level of urinary incontinence among women after menopause. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(5); 58-69

Abstract
Urinary incontinence (UI) is according to ICS definition “every uncontrolled urine loss”. Among the broadly understood definition, there are different types of UI: effort, urgent, from overflow, mixed, transitional, bedwetting and other types of UI. The most common type from mentioned is the effort urinary incontinence and the mixed one. Due to the complex nature of UI problem, there are many methods of diagnosis and treatment of incontinence. In conservative treatment, pelvic floor muscle exercises, physical therapy (including magnetic field) and behavioral therapy are commonly used.  The aim of the study.  The aim of work is to evaluate the impact of magnetostimulation and pelvic floor muscle exercises on the level of urinary incontinence among women after menopause. Material and methodology.  The research was conducted among 30 women at the age of 45–67 years old (average ± 56) who were treated because of UI in The Independent Public Health Care Centre named Primate Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński in Sieradz in the rehabilitation ward. The patients were divided into two groups – 15 people each. In the first group participants were tested by magnetostimulation and they were doing pelvic floor muscle exercises. In the second group they were only doing pelvic floor muscle exercises.The patients have been surveyed twice, before and after 3 weeks therapy. In the study two different questionnaires (A and B) were used. They were based on Gaudenza questionnaire. Results. According to the analysis of survey data, these are the following results. In the first group improvement concerned: reduction in the frequency of UI episodes and frequency of urination, less amount of „urine loss” and UI intensity based on daily physical acivity, extending the time of the ability to control urination and better quality of life tested women. In the second group an improvement has been noticed according to subjective patient’s feelings. All data analysis results from questionnaires were not statistically significant.
Conclusions. From the analysis of the results, the following conclusions have been drawn: 1. Combination therapy of magnetostimulation with pelvic floor exercises causes more beneficial effect than applying only exercises. 2. Subjective assessment of participants on how to improve ailments connected with UI, speaks in favour of therapy with the use of magnetic field stimulation. 3. The most common type of incontinence amoung tested women after menopause was the effort one. 4. Therapy with 3–weeks programme of magnetic field stimulation increases the level of satisfaction and improves well-being of poople with UI.

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.

Abstract
Background. Reduced number of red blood cells and hemoglobin defined as anemia which lowering the capability of the blood to deliver oxygen to all body tissues. Anemia leads to fatigue and dyspnea on exertion, which can decrease a patient’s ability to accomplish normal daily living activities. Platelets and red blood cells aggregation increase with age, which decreasing the delivery of oxygen to the tissues by elevating blood viscosity flow in the microcirculation. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of anemia on Fatigue and Oxygen Saturation levels in Menopausal Anemic Women. Methods. An Observational case control study design, convenience sample of 50 menopausal women, their age ranged between 45 to 55 years old were divided into two groups (A&B). Group A consisted of 25 non-anemic women while, Group B consisted of 25 anemic women. All participants were evaluated through 6MWT for endurance, BS scale for exertion, FSS for fatigue and PULSE OXIMETER for oxygen saturation. Results. Statistical analysis showed that there was a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in endurance and oxygen saturation of group (B) compared with group (A) and also there was a significant increase (p < 0.05) in fatigue level and exertion level of group (B) compared with group (A), Conclusions: Anemic menopausal women have higher fatigue and exertion levels and lower endurance and oxygen saturation levels than non-anemic menopausal women.

Abstract
Introduction. During the menopause, many changes are observed in a woman’s life. These processes have different backgrounds, but mainly they are caused by hormonal changes that have a huge impact on the functioning of the whole organism. These changes may cause, among others: insomnia, mood disorders, weight gain, and indirectly may affect the appearance of back pain.
Aim of the study. The main aim of the study was to recognize the incidence and severity of menopause symptoms, as well as to assess the degree of disability caused by pain in the thoracolumbar spine in the Silesian female population.
Material and method. The material consisted of 150 women between the ages of 40 and 60 from the Śląskie Voivodeship. The study used: the author’s questionnaire, Menopausal Symptom Assessment Scale (MRS) and the Oswestry Questionnaire. The collected material was subjected to statistical analysis.
Results. There was a wide variation in the incidence of menopause symptoms among respondents. Correlation analysis showed that there are statistically significant differences between all menopausal symptoms and lower back pain. Over half of the respondents (56.7%) struggled with excessive body weight. 79% of women have a moderate degree of disability.
Conclusions. The most common symptoms of menopause are psychological symptoms. The respondents have pain in the lumbar spine. The vast majority of women have a moderate degree of disability resulting from pain in the lower spine, the higher the body mass index result, the greater the sensation of somatic and vegetative symptoms and urogenital symptoms. The obtained data encourage a deeper and broader analysis of the phenomenon.
