Background: The changes in everyday life, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, were rapid and unprecedented. This pandemic affected not only physical health but also well-being and life satisfaction. This study was designed to assess the status of a quality-of-life index and some related factors during the coronavirus pandemic in the public population of Rashtian women.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 784 Rashtian women who were selected by cluster random sampling between 2020 and 2021. The data collection tool was the Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life questionnaire, which has two parts: satisfaction and importance of life. Each section consists of four subscales: health and performance, social and economic, psychological/spiritual, and family. Data analysis was done using descriptive and analytic statistics.
Results: The mean score of the quality-of-life index in this study was 21.39 (of 30), which is higher than the mean level. The scores obtained from the satisfaction section were inferior to the similar questions in the important section. The findings showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the quality-of-life scores of women living in different urban areas ( > 0.05).
Conclusion: The feeling of satisfaction increases the ability to cope with problems and mental pressures and improves the level of mental and physical health of couples and ultimately of all members of society. So although the overall quality of life was above average, appropriate interventions should be designed to maintain and improve their satisfaction.

Objective: This study focuses on how patients experience the time following amputation after primary limb salvage surgery due to musculoskeletal malignancies. Limb salvage is state of the art in the treatment of musculoskeletal tumours. Nonetheless, in some cases, limb salvage can become problematic over time, resulting in poorer limb function and septic outcomes.

The effects of mirror therapy with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on motor and sensory functions in patients with common peroneal nerve injury.
Front Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation, Tianjin Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Background: Injuries to the common peroneal nerve often result in significant sensory and motor function loss, severely affecting patients' quality of life. Although existing treatments, including medication and surgery, provide some degree of efficacy, their effectiveness is limited by factors such as tolerance and adverse side effects.
Methods: This study aims to evaluate the effects of a 4-week regimen of mirror therapy combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on lower limb function, muscle strength, and sensation in patients with common peroneal nerve injuries.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients commonly exhibit significant morbidity and experience a diminished quality of life. Since there has been no prior research on pneumonia in our study population, we carried out this study to learn more about the situation.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 912 COPD patients with CAP who were receiving ICS treatment at the DHQ Hospital in Muzaffargarh, Punjab, Pakistan was conducted.
