Effect of Gong's Mobilization Versus Conventional Physiotherapy Among Type II Diabetic Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis.

Adhesive capsulitis (AC) causes a spontaneous onset of discomfort and a progressive loss of shoulder mobility among type II diabetic patients. These patients experience severe loss of shoulder function, which impairs their day-to-day tasks and requires immediate care. According to scientific evidence, Gong's mobilization has an immediate effect on improving shoulder mobility. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Gong's mobilization along with conventional physiotherapy in order to reduce pain and enhance the range of motion (ROM). This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Gong's mobilization and conventional physiotherapy for type II diabetic patients with AC. This experimental study included 32 participants between the ages of 40 and 60 years who were diagnosed with shoulder AC which followed type II diabetes. The participants were randomly allocated into two groups: the Gong's mobilization group and the conventional physiotherapy group. The participants in both groups received the intervention for four weeks. Outcome measures used for assessment before and after treatment were the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and ROM.Data was analyzed using paired and unpaired t-tests. This study's results suggested that there was a better improvement in the pre- and post-test mean values of SPADI and shoulder ROM (p < 0.001) in both groups following a four-week intervention. There was a statistically significant difference in the post-intervention results between the two groups (P<0.05), indicating that Gong's mobilization technique is more effective than conventional treatment. The study findings showed reduced discomfort, and improved ROMand SPADI scores after the intervention. Both the treatments (Gong's mobilization and conventional approach) applied to AC for type II diabetes patients were beneficial. However, Gong's mobilization technique is more effective in treating AC in fewer treatment appointments compared with conventional therapy.

Effect of Low Level Laser Therapy Vs Ultrasound Therapy in The Management of Temporomandibular Joint Pain Syndrome

The temporomandibular joint is a synovial joint made up of articulating surface of the temporal bone and the head of the mandible.Patients suffering from temporomandibular joint pain syndrome will frequently have pain in the region, limitation in opening, asymmetrical jawmovements, and restricted jaw movements. The etiology is associated with several factors, including malocclusion, trauma, emotional stress,and para-functional habits, which cause excruciating pain and inflammation of the surrounding muscle, posterior fibers, and synovial fluid. Thisstudy evaluated and compared the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and ultrasound therapy (UST) in managing temporomandibularjoint pain syndrome. This experimental study of pre and post-comparative types involves 30 subjects with temporomandibular joint painsyndrome who were selected from the outpatient department. This study included 30 subjects divided into two groups of each 15 by simplerandom sampling method.15 sessions each alternate day of low-level laser therapy (GROUP A) and ultrasound therapy (GROUP B) wereadministered to the affected side. Both groups received stretching exercises as a common intervention. Group A received low-level lasertherapy along with stretching exercises for 7 sessions /week/10 min. Group B received ultrasound therapy and stretching exercises for 7sessions /one weeks/10 min. On comparing the mean values of Group A &amp; Group B on the Visual Analogue Scale Score in terms of painintensity, it shows a significant decrease in the post-test mean values in both groups, but (Group A - Low-level Laser Therapy) shows 2.33,which has the lower mean value is more effective than (Group B - Ultrasound Therapy) 3.53 at P ≤ 0.001. Hence the null Hypothesis isrejected. On comparing the pre-test and Post-test between Group A &amp; Group B on VAS Score, Group A shows a highly significant difference inmean values at P ≤ 0. 001. Thus, we conclude that low-level laser therapy is more effective than ultrasound therapy in the management oftemporomandibular joint pain syndrome.

THE EFFECT OF ABC RUNNING AND CIRCUIT TRAINNING ON INCREASING 100M SPRINT RUN ACHIEVEMENT ON AMTC PANGALENGAN ATHLETICS

Every sprint athlete is required to have excellent anaerobic ability, because anaerobic is one of the most important components in athletics, especially short running numbers such as the 100m-200m-400m number, according to the facts in the field, it was found that their 100m running performance was still low. looks quite low which can be seen from the lack of technique, strength and speed when doing the 100m run, such as when the athlete does the 100m run the leg position is still not lifted and the frequency of the foot is still not fast, the athlete's hand position is also still less attractive or less long. when swinging and the body position is too straight so that during the exercise the athlete cannot get a good time. In the process of solving this research problem, the researcher used a quasi-experimental method with a two-group pretest-posttest design. According to Endang Mulyatiningsih (2013: 96) this two-group pretest-posttest experimental design has 2 data from the measurement results, namely pretest (O1) and posttest (O2). The data analysis technique chosen is of course the two sample t-test. Only one hypothesis was tested, namely there was a difference between the mean pretest and posttest mean values. This two-group pretest-posttest research design compares the two methods of ABC Running and Circuit Training. The sample used in this study was AMTC Pangalengan which was taken randomly as many as 40 samples from 80 samples, after getting the sample the researchers divided into 2 groups, each group consisting of 20 samples, from each group given ABC Running and Circuit Training Tritmen.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Lateral and Semi Fowler’s Position on Selected Patients Admitted with Respiratory Problems in Different Hospitals

Introduction: Respiratory disease is a medical term that encompasses pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange possible in higher organisms and includes conditions of the upper respiratory tract, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, pleura, pleural cavity, the nerves and muscles of breathing. Positioning is one of the most frequently performed nursing activity in the critical care, often providing a central pivotal focus for planning other nursing activity. Lateral position involves the patient lying on either patient’s right or left side. Semi Fowler’s Position is a position in which a patient is positioned on their back with the head and trunk raise to 30 degrees. So, the main objective of this study was to compare and evaluate the effectiveness after giving Lateral position in group 1 &amp; Semi Fowler’s position in group 2 among patients admitted with Respiratory problems. Method: A comparative study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Lateral position v/s Semi Fowler’s position on selected Respiratory Parameters among the patients admitted with Respiratory problems for which 40 samples were selected by non-random purposive sampling and the data was collected by assessing the selected respiratory parameters (blood pressure, oxygen saturation, breath holding time, respiration rate &amp; heart rate) using instruments. Quantitative Research Approach was used in this study and research design was Quasi Experimental Research Design. The collected data was analyzed by Descriptive and Inferential Statistics. Result: Majority of the patients are male as compared to female and above 51 years of age. On the basis of comparing the posttest mean values of both the group, the posttest mean value (417.05) of group 2 (Semi Fowler’s position) is much higher than the posttest mean value (403.1) of group 1 (Lateral position). The result revealed that both the positions are effective to improve the respiratory parameters but on the basis of mean post test score the semi fowler’s position is more effective when compared to lateral position on respiratory parameters. The t value is found to be 3.022 with the significance level of p&lt;0007. Therefore, Hypothesis H3 is accepted. Conclusion: From the finding of the study, the respiratory parameters were improved in semi fowler’s position as compared to lateral position. Paired ‘t’ value was significantly higher where p value is &lt;0.05. Thus, it is concluded that the Semi Fowler’s position is highly effective to improve the selected Respiratory Parameters on the patients admitted with Respiratory Problems.

Increasing Knowledge of Law Students of UMN Al-Washliyah Medan on Visum Et Repertum

In the process of investigating cases involving the life of a person, investigators generally ask for help from experts, such as doctors in the form of information called visum et repertum. Good cooperation between the police/investigators and doctors/forensic experts has been established for a long time and continues to work hand in hand to enforce justice for both victims and suspects. Often peace or amicable settlements are unsuccessful, while evidence has been lost due to the healing process. So that at this time when a visa is requested, the results of the examination are not in accordance with the actual crime so that the victim will be disappointed with the court's decision. The role of the investigator is very much expected to explain the intent and purpose of the victim's examination by the doctor to make a visum et repertum so that the public will understand the importance of the Visum et Repertum which is valid evidence. Therefore, socialization is needed in the form of counseling with the topic of visum et repertum. The activity was carried out on FH UMN Al-Washliyah students with lecture and question and answer methods, then an evaluation of success will be carried out with a pre-test before counseling and post-test after counseling. The activity was attended by 118 people with the results of the pre-test (mean score of 61), and post-test (mean value of 82), which means that there was an increase in students' understanding of the visum et repertum after counseling.

Innovative Design of English Teaching Mode for Water Resources Majors Based on Smoothed Long and Short-Term Memory Network Models

Abstract Because the English vocabulary of water resources majors is difficult to understand and awkward to speak, this paper constructs a teaching model combined with pronunciation error detection. With the help of the feature engineering method, we extracted the pronunciation features of English for water resources majors and then used a smooth LSTM network to learn and recognize the pronunciation features so as to detect the errors in pronunciation habits and complete the correction of students’ professional English pronunciation. The pronunciation error detection rate reflects the effect of error detection, and the feasibility of the teaching model is verified according to the mastery degree of specialized vocabulary. The post-test mean value of the experimental class is 76.18 points, and the mean value of the control class is 71.12 points, which is 5.06 points higher than that of the experimental class. From the results of the independent samples t-test, the Sig value is 0.102, which is greater than 0.05, indicating that there is a significant difference in the post-test scores of the two classes. This study has a significant impact on students’ mastery of English vocabulary related to water resources.
