Front Public Health
December 2024
Objective: The objective of the study is to compare and investigate the combined and individual effects of workstation ergonomics, physiotherapy and patient education in improving CgH headaches and work ability in office workers.
Methods: 96 eligible CgH participants were divided into the ergonomics modifications group (EMG; = 24), physiotherapy group (PTG; = 24), and ergonomics modifications combined with physiotherapy group (EPG; = 24) and education control group (CNG; = 24), the participants received the respective treatment for 4 weeks. Primary (CgH frequency) and secondary (CgH pain intensity, CgH disability, flexion rotation test (right and left), neck disability index and work ability) scores were measured.

Background: Depressive symptoms are common, worsening heart failure (HF) progression and reducing quality of life. While supervised structured exercise training is effective for managing depressive symptoms, it often demands a substantial time commitment or intensive activity that may discourage participation.
Objective: Evaluate the impacts of reducing sedentary time with short bouts of light physical activities or greater intensity levels on depressive symptoms after HF patients' enrollment in a home-based intervention.
Article Synopsis
- The rising popularity of e-cigarettes as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes has led to concerns about their cardiovascular risks, which remain uncertain.
- This review aimed to systematically evaluate the cardiovascular outcomes of e-cigarette versus traditional cigarette use, focusing on risks such as myocardial infarction and arrhythmias.
- The analysis indicated that while both e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes pose serious cardiovascular risks, traditional cigarettes showed a higher incidence of severe events; e-cigarette users also experienced increased risks, particularly when combining both smoking methods.
Background: Effective medication adherence is vital for managing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and enhancing patient well-being. This study aimed to evaluate medication adherence levels and associated factors among AMI patients using standardized assessment tools.
Methods: Employing a cross-sectional descriptive design, the study involved 210 patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction.
