Methods: The systematic review was conducted after approval from the ethics review board of the University of Lahore, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised search of relevant literature published from 2012 to 2020 on Web of Science, Latin America and the Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences and PakMedinet electronic databases. The key words used during the search included workers, musculoskeletal pain, insomnia, musculoskeletal diseases, pain and sleep disorders.
Article Synopsis
- - The objective of the study was to evaluate how effective thoracic spinal thrust manipulation is for relieving pain and improving mobility in people with shoulder impingement syndrome.
- - Researchers conducted a systematic review, analyzing 312 studies published from 2008 to 2020, ultimately including 14 studies in their findings regarding the manipulation technique.
- - While some studies showed that thoracic thrust manipulation can improve pain and range of motion, others found it to be limited as a standalone treatment, suggesting it works best when combined with exercise therapy.
Pathophysiological changes in diabetes like hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia predispose cells to malignant transformation and damage DNA repair mechanism. This study was designed to explore the potential synergistic toxic effects of anti-diabetic drug (Metformin), and an analgesic drug (Celecoxib) at cellular level. MTT assay run on Vero cell line revealed that the combinations of Metformin and Celecoxib augment the anti-proliferative effects, whereas Single cell gel electrophoresis spotlighted that Metformin produce non-significant DNA damage with the threshold concentration of 400μg/ml in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (lymphocytes and monocytes), while Celecoxib produced significant (P<0.
