Background: Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) is a common condition, defined as pain lasting more than 3 months between the lower thoracic margin and gluteal folds, without identifiable tissue damage. Despite its low disability rate, the complex etiology and high recurrence impose significant health and socioeconomic burdens. According to European LBP guidelines, exercise therapy is the preferred treatment for CNLBP. This study evaluates the efficacy of core training combined with breathing exercises as a therapeutic intervention for CNLBP.
Methods: Eighteen CNLBP patients were randomly assigned to three groups: core training only, core training with breathing exercises, and a control group. A 12-week intervention included VAS, ODI scores, and muscle strength tests.
Results: The combined group showed significantly greater pain reduction, functional improvement, and muscle strength enhancement compared to the other groups.
Conclusion: Core training with breathing exercises is more effective in alleviating CNLBP symptoms, highlighting the added value of integrating breathing exercises.

There is a growing recognition of the importance of familial involvement in patient care. In Asian societies, communications with patients' families for routine medical updates and shared decision-making are considered part-and-parcel of clinical practice. Yet, training in familial communications has remained, by and far, a neglected aspect of conventional communications skills training in the medical curriculum, despite distinctive nuances in the communications approach.

Pb-free dielectric energy storage capacitors are core components in advanced pulse-power electronic systems and devices. However, the relatively low energy density (W) for the industrial pillar BaTiO (BT)-based capacitors remains a significant obstacle for their cutting-edge applications, due to their low intrinsic polarization and breakdown strength (E). Herein, through chemical composition and local structure design, a giant W of 15.

Introduction: Menstrual-related symptoms and disorders, particularly dysmenorrhea, significantly impact women's well-being. Dysmenorrhea, marked by painful menstrual cramps, affects up to 95% of women, leading to debilitating symptoms that interfere with daily activities and potentially signal underlying gynecological issues. Despite its prevalence, many women experience inadequate medical support and dismissive healthcare responses.

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) - whose terminology was recently replaced by metabolic liver disease (MAFLD) - is an accumulation of triglycerides in the liver of >5 % of its weight. Epidemiological studies indicated an association between NAFLD and reduced physical activity. In addition, exercise has been shown to improve NAFLD independently of weight loss.
