Efficacy of Core Strengthening Exercise on a Geriatric Subject with Lumbar Spine Degeneration-Evidence Based Study-Crimson Publishers

Introduction: Low back pain remains the most common cause of disability among elderly subjects leading to dependence for their daily routines physical activities. Complications and risk factors associated with spinal surgery among geriatric patients are high. Aims and objective of this original research carried on a 72 year old male with NMRI revealing multilevel degeneration of lumbar spine, where the role of obesity on lumbar degeneration and the efficacy of core strengthening and PNF were analyzed on Oswestry low back disability index.

Materials and Methodology: Advice for lumbar discectomy he was treated conservatively with specific physiotherapy techniques using core strengthening and PNF, in ten sessions from 10th May 2017 with frequency of weekly twice.

Result: Were recorded with reduction of BMI and WC (P<.05) and marked improvement in Oswestry low back pain index on physical functioning (P<.001).

Generally, myeloid sarcoma is contemplated to be equivalent to and concurrent with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), although lesions may occur in isolation. Additionally designated as granulocytic sarcoma, chloroma or extramedullary myeloid tumour, myeloid sarcoma categorically represents as a distinct tumefaction associated with architectural effacement of circumscribing soft tissue.

Computational Nanomaterial Design: Towards the Realization of Nanoparticle Design in Cancer Treatment- Crimson Publishers

Computational Nanomaterial Design: Towards the Realization of Nanoparticle Design in Cancer Treatment- Crimson Publishers Cancer is one of the leading causes of human mortality [1]. To compound the issue, cancers can occur in many parts of the human body. A new methodology was developed to use radiotherapy to kill cancer cells or control its growth. There are two ways of using this method: external radiation, in which radiation in the form of x-rays bombards the target area from the outside, and internal radiation, in which a small amount of radioactive substance is surgically placed in the vicinity of the cancer cells [2]. Normally, the former method is used for treatment, but this can potentially affect non-cancerous cells and can cause side effects and other unintended problems later on. https://crimsonpublishers.com/rmes/fulltext/RMES.000726.php For more open access journals in crimson publishers Please click on link: https://crimsonpublishers.com For more articles on Resea...
