Background: Between half and three quarters of the working-age population in today's industrialized globe suffers from lower back pain. The presence of a myofascial trigger point-a hyperirritable painful area comprised of a small number of muscle fibers-identifies mechanical back pain sufferers as suffering from myofascial pain syndrome, a chronic pain disorder. This research objectives to determine whether mechanical back pain patients' pain severity and functional disabilities are influenced by electromagnetic field therapy.

Anesthesiology Unit, Surgical Intensive Care and Pain Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.
Background: Modified rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is crucial in emergency surgery, particularly for patients with a full stomach, as it allows for the administration of general anesthesia (GA).
Objectives: This work aimed to evaluate mivacurium effectiveness and optimal dose in modified RSI.
Methods: This randomized double-blind study involved 100 patients, aged between 20 - 60 years, of both sexes, with the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification of I - III, who were undergoing emergency surgery under GA.

Student Research Committee, Birjand University of Medical Sciences, Birjand, Iran.
Objectives: This study aims to compare the effects of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises using biofeedback on pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Methods: This randomized, two-group clinical trial included patients with KOA (grades II - III of the Lawrence Kellgren classification) who met the inclusion criteria. Written informed consent was obtained from participants before they were randomly allocated into one of two groups: HILT + therapeutic exercise (group A) or quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises using biofeedback + therapeutic exercise (group B).
