Abstract:
Introduction: Backache is a common problem during pregnancy that is faced by almost one quarter of all pregnant womenworldwide. Objectives: To find an association between backache and pregnancy with respect to obesity and to evaluate the effect ofphysiotherapy for relief of pain. Methodology: This longitudinal observational & randomized control study was conducted on pregnantfemales for a period of six months. 150 females fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled into two groups i.e. obese patients (BMI>29.9) and non obese patients (BMI<29.9). All information was recorded on a Performa that was later entered and analyzed usingSPSS-11.5. Results: The mean age of all patients was 33.67±6.73 years with overall average gestational age of 27.47±5.19 weeks.Flexed posture was observed in 90(60%) patients and 60(40%) had very bad sitting habit. There were 80 (53.3%) obese and 70 (46.7%)non-obese patients. Lordosis was observed in 50 cases, straight spine was observed in 90 cases while 60 patients had no straight spine.st Most females reported that pain started during the 1 trimester (110) but only 40 females reported that they developed pain in the 2ndtrimester.100 females reported that pain was continuous while 50 had intermittent. There were 50 (33%) patients who had severebackache while 100 (66.7%) had worse possible pain which was regressed to no pain in 140(93.3%) patients at final follow up visit andonly 10 (6.7%) had moderate pain after physiotherapy. The difference between pre and post physiotherapy was statistically significant.Both obese and non-obese patients were reported to be benefited but better results were found in non-obese patients. Conclusions: Weconclude that physiotherapy is effective in reducing the backache in pregnant females and has no side effects on fetus and mother. Also,more effective results can be achieved through physiotherapy in non-obese patients compared to obese patients. Thus, Physiotherapycan be recommended as the first line treatment for pregnant females.

Abstract:
A cognitive behavioural treatment program for chronic lower back pain was designed, implemented and evaluated. The outpatient treatment program included education sessions, goal setting, graded activity training, physical exercise, relaxation training, cognitive techniques, social skills training, and medication reduction. Three participants volunteered to participate in the eightweek treatment program. Of the three participants, only one completed the program successfully. The results were used to critically discuss and evaluate the literature. The successful participant showed significant improvement in activity levels, decrease in subjective levels of pain, as well as decreased levels of anxiety and depression. It was shown that correcting cognitive distortions (e.g. selective abstraction, catastrophising, misattribution) and challenging early maladaptive schemas of abandonment, emotional deprivation and emotional inhibition (Young, 1990) assisted in enhancing coping mechanisms and the belief that the pain episodes would be short-lived and could be controlled. There was considerable improvement for the second participant, although he chose to withdraw from the program prior to its completion. The components of the psycho-education, relaxation and stress management and exercise program were beneficial for him. The third participant failed to accept the treatment formulation, and did not engage collaboratively in the treatment program. The case is presented as a point for examining therapeutic ailures.

Abstract:
Chronic low back pain is a highly prevalent condition in industrialized nations. It is associated with activity limitations, disability, has significant economic impact on society and incurs personal cost. Today's working environment increasingly demands more time spent sitting due to computerization and other advances in technology. Sitting for hours without taking breaks may influence posture, and alignment of the lumbar spine. Therefore, it may influence low back pain. Kenya as a developing country has an increasing number of people involved in sedentary work. The aim of this study was to identify the predisposing factors of chronic low back pain among sedentary office workers in Nairobi. The main objectives were to establish the prevalence of chronc low back pain
to determine the possible predisposing factors of chronic low back pain and to determine the impact of chronic low back pain on work related quality of life among sedentary office workers in Nairobi, Kenya.

Abstract:
Background: Altered muscular function of the deep abdominal and back muscles has been implicated as a factor in the development and continuation of low back pain (LBP) and small-scale studies, on specific subgroups of LBP patients, have reported favourable outcomes when these dysfunctions are addressed using specific exercise training. However, these techniques are increasingly being incorporated into treatment packages for non-specific LBP in the UK despite little evidence of their effectiveness in this patient group. A multi-centered, pragmatic, randomized clinical trial, with 12-month follow-up, was therefore designed to investigate the effectiveness of incorporating specific spinal stabilisation exercises within a physiotherapy treatment package in the management of recurrent LBP patients. Methods: Following ethical approval, consenting patients with recurrent LBP, without significant levels of distress (as measured by the distress risk assessment method {DRAM}), were randomized to two groups; 'conventional' physiotherapy and the provision of an advice booklet (Cl) and 'conventional' physiotherapy, the provision of an advice booklet with the addition of specific spinal stabilisation exercises (SSSE). Randomisation was stratified for laterality, duration of symptoms and initial functional disability level {Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire—RMDQ} using a minimization procedure. Functional disability (RMDQ) was the main outcome, and generic, disease-specific and psychological measures were also collected. The trial was powered to detect a 5-point difference between groups using 90% power. A total of 221 patients were screened for entry into the trial and 97 were recruited from three metropolitan physiotherapy departments within the UK between May 1999 and September 2000. Results: All patients were between the ages of 19 and 60 years (mean 38.6, SD: 10.5) and had an average duration of symptoms of 8.7 (8.1) months. Over 30% of the patients screened for entry to the trial were excluded as they showed evidence of psychological distress. Both groups demonstrated improved functioning, reduced pain intensity and an improvement in the physical component of quality of life. Mean change (95% Cl) for RMDQ scores between baseline to 12-month follow-up were —4.5 (-6.2 to —3.6) for the SSSE group and -5.2 (-6.7 to —3.6) for the CT group. No statistically significant differences between the two groups were demonstrated for any of the outcome variables. Patients in the spinal stabilisation group received a slightly greater mean number of treatment sessions over a longer period than the conventional physiotherapy treatment group (7.5 (2.5) over 11 weeks compared to 5.9 (2.3) over 8 weeks respectively). Exploration of the content of each treatment package revealed a combination of treatments was used, most frequently active exercise and manual therapy, with little use of electrotherapy or mechanical lumbar traction. Discussion and Conclusion: This trial represents the largest to date investigating the effects of specific spinal stabilisation exercises, and the first examining their use in a recurrent LBP population. Results indicate that physiotherapy is effective in reducing functional disability and to a lesser extent pain intensity, with improvements maintained at one year following completion of treatment, but that the addition of spinal stabilisation exercises to conventional physiotherapy and an advice booklet, does not provide any obvious additional benefit in terms of functional disability or pain intensity. These findings are of importance as they support the ongoing use of physiotherapy treatment packages in the management of recurrent LBP patients, without significant levels of distress, but challenge the assumption that stabilisation training provides an additional benefit in this particular group of LBP patients.

Abstract:
Low back pain or low back pain is a set of painful manifestations, affecting 90% of the population, including the elderly and young people. It has numerous causes, such as joint degeneration, biomechanical and functional changes, incorrect posture, among others. Thus, there is limitation in ROM, pain, burning sensation and functional incapacity. Electrotherapy is the use of electrical currents for different therapeutic purposes. It is used to control pain, reduce edema and muscle spasm. To identify the effects of electroanalgesia on pain in patients with low back pain chronic. Anon-systematic review of the literature was performed, where randomized clinical trials published between 2006 and 2020 were selected, according to the highest score in the scorePEDro. The search involved the databases PEDro e PubMed, through the following terms: electroanalgesia, chronic, back pain, backache, TENS, electrotherap, placebo, massage. Six studies with a PEDro score between 7 and 10 were selected. In all studies, electroanalgesia was compared with massage or placebo. In five studies, when TENS was compared with massage, there was an immediate reduction in pain, improvement in disability and a reduction in medication consumption. In one study, after ten sessions there was no difference between TENS and interferential current. Another study showed that laser was more effective than TENS in reducing pain. There is no difference between TENS and interferential current. Electroanalgesia appears, in the short term, to reduce pain, medication consumption, as well as improve disability. Laser is more effective than TENS in reducing pain.

Abstract:
Introduction: Schistosomiasis affected 164 individuals during 2022, of which 56% were from Northeast region, being a disease of public concern. One of atypical presentations is the myeloradiculopathy, that can evolve — if without adequate treatment and eradication — with incapacity. Case report: 44-years-old patient, with no previous comorbidities, artisanal fisherman, positive epidemiology for schistosomiasis. Admitted in emergency with backache (lumbar and sacral regions), evolving with paraparesy of lower members associated to progressive (two months) fecal and urinary hesitation. Physical examination showed an alert patient, oriented in time and space, no alteration in cranial nerves and coordenation exams. Flacid paraparesy in lower limbs (muscular force III/V), fasciculations and hypoesthesia in L3/L4 myotomes. Positive Lasegue, cremasteric reflex absent. Metabolic, inflammatory and sorologies negatives. Oriented to proceed with pulsotherapy and methylprednisolone (1 g) during five day and, after, praziquantel 50 mg/kg twice a day, during three days, and after, prednisolone 60 mg/day. Two months later, patient returned with positive sorology to schistosomiasis (1:128) and evolved with partial improvement of paraparesy (muscular force IV/V) and fecal/urinary hesitation, although maintained hypoesthesia (L3/L4) and lumbar pain. Considering the persistence of symptoms, a new cicle of praziquantel and corticoid was done, just as motor physiotherapy and eradication actions. Conclusion: Antihelmintic treatment associated with corticoid use is still an adequate strategy to this disease, but it is a problem of public health, demanding major measures to its erradication.

Abstract Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for approximately 1% of all cancers and 10% of all hematologic malignancies. In our institution, we see around 200 patients with myeloma every year. We present our experience with multiple myeloma in the patients aged more than 60 years. Objectives This is a retrospective study of 300 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients above 60 years of age treated in the Department of Medical Oncology, Regional Cancer Center, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, during the period between 2014 and 2017. The medical records of the patients were studied and following data were collected: demographic and clinical details, diagnostic and staging workup, primary treatment, response assessment, relapse, and survival. Survival was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Results A total of 300 patients were included in the study. The median age was 66 years with a male-to-female ratio of 1.4:1. The common clinical presentations were backache (134), fatigue (49), lower respiratory infection (20), and paraparesis (14). Monoclonal protein was immunoglobulin (Ig)-G in 199 patients (66.6%), IgA in 52 patients (17.4%), IgM in 2 patients, and IgD in 1 patient. Light-chain disease was seen in 42 patients (14%). One hundred and sixty patients (53.5%) had ISS stage III. Only 285 patients received treatment, of which 203 (67.8%) received bortezomib-based regimen, - bortezomib and dexamethasone (BD; 33.4%); bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (BLD; 19.7%); bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (VCD; 8.7%); bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (BTD; 2.3%); and bortezomib, melphalan, and prednisolone (3.7%). Nonbortezomib-based regimens used were melphalan and prednisolone (MP) alone or with thalidomide or lenalidomide (15%), lenalidomide and dexamethasone (LD; 10.4%), and thalidomide and dexamethasone (TD; 2%). Response assessment was done as per IMWG guidelines. Fifty-seven (26.3%) patients achieved complete response (CR), 94 (43.3%) achieved very good partial response (VGPR), 19 (8.8%) attained partial response (PR), 15 (5.6%) had stable disease, and 46 (15.4%) developed progressive disease. With bortezomib-based regimens, 119 patients (58.3%) achieved CR/VGPR, and with non-bortezomib based regimens, 42 patients (51.2%) achieved CR/VGPR. One hundred and forty-three patients (47.8%) received maintenance therapy of which 79 received maintenance with bortezomib, 49 with lenalidomide, and 15 with thalidomide. The average duration of maintenance was 24 months. Second-line chemotherapy regimens were used in 37 patients. Agents used were MP, LD, TD, and VCD. With second-line treatment, 15 patients achieved VGPR, 10 patients achieved partial response, and 25 patients developed progressive disease. Third-line chemotherapy regimens were used in 22 patients and the regimens used were pomalidomide and dexamethasone, MP, TD, LD, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone and carfilzomib and dexamethasone. At a median follow-up of 34 months, the 2-year overall survival (OS) was 68%. The median progression-free survival was 21 months. The 2-year OS for patients receiving initial bortezomib-based regimen was 67.8% and non-bortezomib based regimen was 68% which was similar. Conclusion In this study, CR/VGPR rates and 2-year OS in patients treated with bortezomib and non-bortezomib based regimens were not statistically significant.

Abstract:
Osteoporosis (OP) represents the most common metabolic bone disease, characterized by the shrinkage in bone mass and the destruction of bone quality, thus conferring a higher risk for micro-fractures and injuries. The goal of treatment in OP is to grow-up the bone mineral density of the skeleton and to increase resorption of formed bone, due to improving the quality life of patients. The methods are diverse, such as medications, conservative measures, weight reduction, physical and occupational therapy, mechanical support devices and surgery. This paper presents a balneal-conservative treatment of patients diagnosed with OP from Rehabilitation Clinical Hospital of Felix Spa. The treatment is complex and involves balneal-physical-kinetic therapy or balneal-physical-kinetic recovery treatment, which must be periodical repeated every six months to obtain good results. The study has been applied to two separate groups of patients with OP between 2009–2011. The first group of 100 subjects, presented clinical symptomatology, as pain of variable types like backaches, fragility fractures or deformation of bone shape that resulted from fractures or alterations of weakens bones. A second group of 80 subjects, received the balneal-rehabilitation treatment combined, or not with physical exercises. DEXA and SF-36 scores, using statistical analysis, performed the evaluation of OP treatment. The results of experiment emphasized the efficiency of balneal-rehabilitation treatment applied patients with OP. The future research will be focused upon the implementation of vibration therapy with balneal-conservative treatment on patients with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis to reduce the therapy time and improving the quality life of patients.

Abstract:
Concern for adverse effects of prenatal cannabis use (PCU) is warranted. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends refraining from PCU, because Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) crosses the placenta at approximately 10% of maternal levels, which can result in adverse offspring outcomes. Little is known about patterns and contexts of PCU; to advance this effort, 64 pregnant women who use cannabis were recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk for a study of PCU thoughts and behaviors. Women were, on average, 22 years of age (range 22-49); mean income was ~$44,000 (range $0-$150,000). 53.3% of respondents were in the first trimester, 43.3% were in the second and 3.4% were in the third. Polysubstance use was common; 25% reported prenatal alcohol use and 64% reported prenatal tobacco use. Approximately 40% reported using about the same amount of cannabis as before pregnancy. Regarding availability and patterns, approximately 44% indicated that cannabis was “somewhat” or “very” easy to get. Women in the third trimester reported the most frequent PCU. Across all trimesters, the majority of women reported using cannabis with roughly equal parts THC and cannabidiol and PCU primarily consisted of consumption of leaf and concentrates. The most common modes of administration were joints in the first trimester and hand pipes in the second and third trimesters. On a typical PCU day, approximately 70% of participants reported consuming ¼ gram of flower or less, 73% reported taking 5 or fewer hits of concentrates, and 85% reported ingesting 10 milligrams of THC or less in edibles. PCU among social networks was prevalent; over 50% reported that their spouse/partner used cannabis during their pregnancy and approximately 80% reported that a few, several, or most of their family and friends use cannabis. Regarding contexts, during a typical week, women reported PCU in their homes (alone [30%], with others [54.7%]), at friends’ or family members’ homes (alone [28%], with others [39%]), in bars/nightclubs/restaurants/breweries (alone [30%], with others [34%]), as well as outdoors (alone [34%], with others [33%]), at work (alone [34%], with others [36%]), at school (alone [23%], with others [36%]), in the car (alone [31%], with others [36%]) or elsewhere (alone [23%], with others [39%]). PCU was perceived as ‘highly effective’ (as reported by 75-95%) at managing nausea, distress (anxiety, depression), and physical discomfort (e.g., backaches). Perceived harm of PCU was low, more than half of participants believed PCU would harm the fetus (~60%) or herself (~64%) “not at all” or “a little.” In conclusion, polysubstance use, particularly tobacco use, is common among women who use cannabis during pregnancy. Although quantity of PCU consumption was relatively low in our sample, any amount is concerning and may have negative impact on the developing fetus. The majority of women’s social networks used cannabis and, in all contexts (with the exception of outdoor use), PCU was typically in the company of others. Perceived efficacy of PCU for symptom modulation was high across a variety of conditions, and risk perceptions were low, both of which may result in riskier use trajectories.
