Objective: This study aims to assess the efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on osteoarthritic rat knees.
Material And Methods: Twenty-four rats were divided into 3 groups: group 1-control (n=8), group 2-LIPUS (n=8) and group 3-ESWT (n=8). Cartilage degeneration was provided using mono-iodo-asetate (MIA).
Balneotherapy or spa therapy is usually known for different application forms of medicinal waters and its effects on the human body. Our purpose is to demonstrate the effect of balneotherapy on gastrointestinal motility. A total of 35 patients who were treated for osteoarthritis with balneotherapy from November 2013 through March 2015 at our hospital had a consultation at the general surgery for constipation and defecation disorders.

Due to weak association between bent bone and distinct cortex disruption, bowing fractures may not be diagnosed properly while reading plain radiography. Missed fractures and dislocations are common in accidents and emergency practice, particularly in children.

- This study aimed to analyze the effects of local steroid injections on neuropathic symptoms in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), an area not previously explored in detail.
- Forty-one patients between 22-65 years old, diagnosed with CTS and showing neuropathic symptoms, were treated with steroid injections, and their symptoms were evaluated before and two months after the treatment using specific pain questionnaires and nerve conduction studies.
- Results indicated that the steroid injections improved both clinical symptoms and nerve conduction results, but the severity of the nerve condition (as measured electrophysiologically) did not correlate with the pain questionnaire scores, suggesting that treatment for neuropathic pain should be independent of these electrophysi
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating neurological disease and causing a variety of neurological symptoms, including discomfort of anorectal function. Constipation and faecal incontinence present as anorectal dysfunction in MS and anal manometry, colonic transit time, electromyography, and defecography can be used for assessment.
Presentation Of Case: We presented a thirty-three years old woman with rare condition of anorectal dysfunction in multiple sclerosis.
Prolactin-secreting adenomas represent nearly 40% to 60% of all pituitary adenomas. Prolactin inhibits the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone that is responsible for the synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins. Sex steroids have an important effect on the regulation of bone metabolism in men.
