Effect of Practicing Deep Breathing and Kegel Exercises on Menopausal Urinary Incontinence at Beni-Suef

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the most common problems in menopausal women; it is defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as the complaint of any involuntary loss of urine and its classification according to the presence of symptoms and pathophysiological mechanisms of occurrence. The Kegel Breathing technique combines breathing and pelvic floor contraction patterns to increase pelvic floor muscular strength while performing daily activities regularly. Normal breathing occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and the breathing muscle (diaphragm) move up and down in harmony manner. Aim of the study: The study aimed to evaluate menopausal women's urinary incontinence before and after practice of deep breathing and Kegel exercise. Design: A quasi-experimental study design was utilized in this study (one group pre and post-test). Sample: A purposive sample of 100 Menopausal women diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence. Setting: gynecological and urological outpatient clinics Beni-Suef university hospital. Tools: 1) a structure interviewing questionnaire schedule, 2) The International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire 3) Pelvic floor muscles exercises checklist.

Only 32% of the studied women can accurately detect the right muscle group at the 1st week of the 1st month. However, at the end of the 1st month; 82% of them can do. Moreover, at the end of the 2nd month; 90% can do. Additionally, at the end of the 3rd month; 93% of the studied women can accurately detect the right muscle group. Conclusion: Deep breathing and kegel exercise had positive effect on women's urinary incontinence. Recommendations: disseminate brochures and booklet about kegal and breathing exercise to enhance awareness program regarding stress urinary incontinence reliving measures for elderly women.

The effect of physical exercise on myopia progression

The increasing incidence of myopia in the coming decades supposes a scientific and public health challenge to reduce the negative impact of this chronic condition in society worldwide. Faced with this situation, it becomes clear it is necessary to control myopia progression as early as possible through the usual optical and pharmacological therapies. Still, there is also a need to discover new adjuvant treatments to be incorporated into clinical practice, including the regular practice of physical exercise as a possible strategy to decelerate eye growth and, therefore, myopia development. During the last decade, different cohort and cross‐sectional studies associated higher physical activity and increasing time outdoors with reduced risk of myopia development. However, due to the design of these studies and the multifactorial factors influencing axial growth of the eye, it would not be possible to establish a clear effect of physical exercise on controlling myopia progression. The current talk will discuss the most representative works in the field, focusing on their levels of evidence, and will explore future lines of research to answer whether physical activity can really help to reduce myopia progression and which ocular mechanisms could be implicated.

APPLICATION OF KINESIOTHERAPY IN CONTROLLING THE SYMPTOMS OF FIBROMYALGIA: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW

Fibromyalgia is defined as a rheumatological disease of unknown cause and not associated with inflammatory processes, which mainly affects women. Studies show that the treatment of fibromyalgia is focused on kinesiotherapy, which consists of physical exercise programs that provide benefits for fibromyalgia patients. The objective of this research is to identify how the physical therapy practice of kinesiotherapy is used in patients with fibromyalgia to control their symptoms. This is an integrative review based on articles selected from the LILACS, SciELO and PEDro databases. The descriptors applied were: “fibromyalgia”, “physiotherapy”, “physical exercise” and “kinesiotherapy”. The descriptor “fibromyalgia” was used as the main one to obtain more thematic proximity, making pairwise combinations with the others using the Boolean connector ‘AND’. Four articles were selected that meet the study variables. It was noticed that stretching, walking and low-impact exercises have been relevant in the treatment of fibromyalgia, as these factors contribute to improving quality of life. Furthermore, it is possible to observe that the application of supervised physical exercises has better adherence when compared to unsupervised ones, especially for those who are in unstable psychosocial situations, as a large part of this public chooses to practice regular physical exercises and carried out in a group. Therefore, kinesiotherapy is essential in controlling the symptoms of fibromyalgia, as the practice of physical exercises improves muscle strength, flexibility and resistance, in addition to working on cognitive and functional capacity

Exercise addiction

Exercise addiction, although not yet officially recognized, can be defined as the harmful practice of physical exercise, described as a compulsive need, where damage take precedence over the benefits of this practice, with a continuation of this behavior despite the negative consequences. A number of risk factors have been identified, including psychopathological conditions such as eating disorders or other addictions. It is possible to detect this addiction and assess its intensity using multidimensional questionnaires, even the clinical relevance and thresholds of which are still debated. Despite the absence of validated treatments, motivational approaches and cognitive-behavioural therapies can be useful, combined with nutritional management if necessary, as well as management of concomitant disorders.

Physiotherapy Interventions for the Management of Treatment-related Complications in Breast Cancer: Systematic Literature Review

Introduction: The prevalence of treatment-related complications remains high throughout the course of cancer treatment resulting a decline in quality of life. Physiotherapy can have a positive influence on various domains of Quality of Life (QoL), potentially alleviating the severity of perceived complications. Aim: To evaluate the physiotherapy interventions used for managing treatment-related complications among breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: Databases including Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Science Direct, Cochrane Library, and Scopus from year 2000 to 2022 was searched with Mesh terms for trials with breast cancer patients >18 years of age participating in physiotherapy program. The primary outcome measure of interest was a significant improvement in treatment-related complications from pre- to post intervention. Change in quality of life was evaluated as secondary outcome measure. Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess the risk of bias and quality of included studies. Results: A total of 20 randomised controlled trials with 2019 patients incorporated various physiotherapy interventions to manage and alleviate treatment-related complications. For physical functioning (p=0.04) and the pain-sleep-fatigue cluster (p=0.006 to 0.044) different types of exercises were included. Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) combined with other electrotherapy modalities was embraced to manage lymphedema (p<0.05). For shoulder and arm dysfunction (p<0.05) passive stretching, mobilisation and strengthening exercises were incorporated. Furthermore, regular practice of exercise and physiotherapy exhibited positive impacts on overall health-related quality of life (p=0.0001 to 0.01) along with improvements in anxiety, depression, self-esteem and emotional function. Conclusion: Physiotherapy interventions are exceedingly effective in managing and providing relief from breast cancer treatment-related complications. Consequently, the integration of physiotherapy into cancer treatment protocols has the potential to enhance the overall QoL of patients.

Creating classrooms for change: A qualitative study of practices to promote children's skills for adaptability in primary schools in Kigali, Rwanda

Major recent global challenges have highlighted the increasing importance of education systems fostering children's skills for adaptability and capacity for responding to change. Competences such as creativity, innovation and problem solving could be particularly valuable, but in countries like Rwanda little is currently known about how schools and teachers nurture them in the classroom. This paper adopts a psychological framework based on learners’ cognitive flexibility to address that gap, drawing on exploratory qualitative data from interviews and lesson observations in primary schools in Kigali, Rwanda. The findings identify teachers’ use of practical exercises, group work and frequent transitions between activities and languages as potentially supporting different aspects of children's cognitive flexibility. The paper concludes with implications for nurturing learners’ skills for adaptability in similar low-income contexts.

Leadership in ophthalmology training : Opportunities and risks of medical specialist education.

Medical specialist training requires constant improvement and adaptation of the contents to the current situation. Nowadays, young physicians have the opportunity to select among the most renowned institutions and can choose the one most qualified for their training. Hospitals on the other hand still have the desire to recruit highly qualified physicians for their resident programs, which requires agood, well-rounded and reliable offer by the department under good leadership. Thus, among other issues amodern and multilingual homepage is already an important instrument for successfully addressing applicants and winning them over for the department. In addition to awell-planned and structured training plan (e.g., the "Homburg Curriculum") and aso-called "resident guide", many other additional offers are nowadays part of asuccessful training, such as structured internal and external specialist training courses, well thought out research concepts available to all interested parties, wet labs for practical exercises on pig's eyes and as the latest most innovative addition, avirtual reality simulator. Due to astructured curriculum with regular continuous education during the daily early morning meetings and an exchange program with another university eye hospital, not only the residents can benefit but ultimately also the department itself. In addition, future specialists are involved in the respective organization (so-called "service teams") from the very beginning. This conveys agreat deal of knowledge and expertise but also organizational skills and thus improves the quality of training. In any case, standardized residency training with aview beyond the horizon, which is transparently organized and reliably carried out, improves the quality of training in order to become acertified ophthalmologist and increases the satisfaction of the residents. Adepartment which is committed and can offer awide range of services will benefit from motivated and satisfied employees in agood interpersonal climate, which in the end benefits not only the team but also the patients.

Veterinary teaching in COVID-19 times: perspectives of university teaching staff.

The digitalization of university teaching has been taking place for many years and, in addition to traditional teaching formats such as practicals and face-to-face lectures, more and more e-learning courses have been used in veterinary education for several years. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, universities across Germany had to switch to an ad-hoc, purely digital summer semester. This study evaluated the experiences and implementation of the digital summer semester 2020 at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo) Foundation from the perspective of the teaching staff. In addition to the technical equipment used by lecturers, this survey also focused on the effects of the digital semester on teaching and the future practicality of digital teaching formats and strategies in veterinary education. Therefore, a questionnaire was designed and distributed among lecturers involved in the digital summer semester 2020. One hundred and three completed questionnaires were evaluated. The results of the evaluation show that teachers see huge potential in blended learning as a teaching method in veterinary education. In addition, teachers were able to digitize teaching well with the available hardware and software. The teaching staff saw difficulties above all in the loss of practical training and in the digitalization of practical exercises. Teachers also needed significantly more time to plan and implement digital teaching compared to pure face-to-face teaching. In summary blended learning offers many advantages, such as increased flexibility for students and teaching staff. In order to be able to use digital teaching methods and strategies profitably in veterinary education in the future, well thought-out didactic concepts and further technical expansion of the universities are required. In addition, the digital skills of teaching staff should be further trained and promoted.

Ab. No. 37 Exploring the Perceptions about Exercises Among Women With Infertility: A Qualitative Study

Introduction: Although there is evidence to support the importance of exercise to improve the chances of conception, poor exercise adherence has been reported in this population. Understanding the perception of exercises will aid in designing exercise programs that may facilitate better adherence. Infertility is a rising global issue and women face greater stigma and consequences of infertility in developing countries. This qualitative study aimed to explore the perceptions about exercises among women with infertility. Methods: Face-to-face semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted among twenty women with infertility aged between 18-45 years. Women with unstable physical or mental conditions were excluded. The primary investigator conducted in-depth face-to-face interviews using a validated interview guide. Data collection was continued until thematic saturation was attained. The data was managed using ATLAS ti software. Two steps were carried out for thematic data analysis. Relevant codes were grouped based on their similarity into code families. Result: Women often sought information about exercises from social media, doctors, and family members. Preferred types of exercises were brisk walking and yoga. Supportive family and facilities were the main facilitators and lack of awareness, lack of time, lack of motivation, and lack of family support were identified as barriers. Conclusion: Individual perception of health and fitness, the preferred mode of exercise, barriers, and facilitators to perform exercise should be considered before planning an exercise intervention for women with infertility. In our study, the perception of exercise practices among overweight/obese women with infertility remains understudied. Future research could focus on obese or overweight women with infertility (both in rural and urban settings) as it would provide unique perspectives about their perception of exercise Implications: This study warrants the necessity to implement health education and awareness programs regarding the benefits of exercise in this population.

Health Education and Physical Exercise as a Means to Reduce Fatigue Level and Stress For Academician in the International Islamic University Malaysia

Abstract. College students are population that is prone to health problems. They have high frequency of learning activities, but they rarely add the activities with exercise affecting on the emergence of fatigue and stress. Based on the results of a survey on fatigue and stress levels of students at IIUM, it was found that 30% of them felt mild fatigue and 70% felt moderate fatigue. For stress levels, it is obtained that 40% of the students experienced moderate stress, and 30% experienced mild stress. This condition is not realized and if it continues, it will reduce the health status of the IIUM campus residents. So, efforts are needed to improve their health status. Community service activities have been carried out are by providing health education about the impact of work on fatigue and stress, followed by the practice of light physical exercise. The goals set include increasing knowledge about work stress and fatigue, reducing fatigue levels and reducing stress levels for IIUM campus residents. The participants who attended were 36 people. The results of the pre-test and post-test for knowledge about fatigue and stress was that almost all participants experienced a significant increase. The average value of the pre-test and post-test for the level of fatigue was 47.77, increasing to 94.72. For knowledge about stress, the average pre-test and post-test scores were 49.72 to 96.11. This community service shows that in the implementation of formal education in the classroom, having a risk of causing serious health problems, so that students and other campus residents are given informal educational content in the form of casual activities outside the classroom.

CREATIVE WRITING AS AN INTERACTIVE FORM OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE TEACHING

Objective. The objective of the article is to consider the development of creative writing skills in foreign language classes; identifyithe main approaches to teaching writing; familiarization with methods of revealing the meaning of lexical units when explaining words, concepts and realities; offer a set of language creative exercises and games as methods of creative writing in the process of teaching a foreign language. Methods. The main scientific results are obtained using such research methods as analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, generalization of best practices and observation. Results. Based on the fact that the development of students' creative abilities and their acquisition of skills of independent educational and cognitive activity is currently one of the important tasks in the learning process, as well as the fact that creative writing, and in general, the written language began to occupy a special place in the teaching foreign languages, we came to the conclusion that the growth of the role of creative writing in the educational process is associated with the increased use of interactive forms of language work, since a creative approach greatly facilitates the processes of memorizing and learning new information. Many teachers note that it is written work, unlike other types of educational activities, that helps students to develop their creative abilities. It is very often difficult for students to express their thoughts competently both orally and in writing. In this connection, there is an obstacle to the development of a whole range of professional competencies, and one of the incentives in overcoming fear is creative tasks that increase educational and professional motivation. Practical tasks and exercises in creative writing during learning a foreign language: help to consolidate the material learned; aimed at the development and formation of the qualities of a creative personality, creative thinking, as well as a comfortable stay in a creative environment; make the process of learning a foreign language more interesting and less stressful and take place in a creative and relaxed atmosphere; help to get rid of fears and insecurities; make you want to share your thoughts and emotions in writing and orally. As a result, this causes the need to expand the vocabulary, to get acquainted with new lexical and grammatical structures, and thus there is an active search for different forms and ways of self-expression. It should also be noted that both written and oral forms of work can be used when teaching written communication due to the close interrelationship of all types of language activity, therefore the presented set of exercises and games can be used in foreign language classes in different versions depending on the type of communication skills , on the development of which the lesson is directed.

The Effect of Continuous Running Training Programs and Interval Training Programs in Improving Physical Fitness

This study carried out an in-depth analysis of two popular physical training programs: continuous running and interval training. The research method involved a number of statistical tests, including checking the normality of data distribution, uniformity analysis, and independent T tests. Participants from both training programs were used to gain a more detailed understanding of the nature of each program and comparisons of performance between the two. The analysis results show that continuous running approaches a normal data distribution, indicating data stability and consistency. Meanwhile, the finding that performance variability was similar across the two programs led to new insights into the consistency of performance within the groups. The main finding was the superiority of continuous running in performance gains, with average scores consistently higher than interval training. This indicates the potential of continuous running in increasing physical capacity and endurance. The practical implications are relevant for the design of exercise programs, providing guidance for coaches and individuals seeking improved physical performance. Although the results show the superiority of continuous running, interval training may require adapting strategies to achieve better results. This research also opens up opportunities for further research, especially in understanding the factors that influence achievement in these two training programs. Further exploration of variations in training duration, intensity and frequency in the context of both could provide new insights into the world of fitness and sport. These findings provide a strong empirical basis for decisions regarding physical exercise programs, support data-driven decision making, and provide insight into scientific approaches in guiding more effective and efficient physical exercise practices.

Teacher and Student Competence Improvement at SMK Muhammadiyah Karangkobar

Abstract. Vocational High School (SMK) is a Vocational High School that targets the formation of character and skills for its graduates. The learning system in Vocational Schools that includes practical material makes Vocational graduates ready to use and able to work and even create jobs. So that SMK graduates are targeted to be able to contribute to the local economy. Highly contradictory conditions were found at the Muhammadiyah Karangkobar Vocational School, Banjarnegara. Muhammadiyah Karangkobar Vocational School is still overwhelmed by the problem of limited learning support practice equipment. So far the practical Teaching and Learning Process (PBM) has only been carried out by watching videos due to the limited equipment and practical simulators available in schools. Occasionally PBM practices using the private vehicles of students/teachers who are willing to use their vehicles as practice media. This condition is still not optimal because the work done tends to be light work which does not adequately represent the material for the Department. This condition is of course not very good considering that the output of SMK students is skills that should be acquired through a structured and systematic practicum process. The solutions offered in these problems are, firstly, providing support equipment grants in practice, especially periodic maintenance of automotive light vehicles, and electric welding tools and bench work, and secondly, providing training to teachers and students of Muhammadiyah Karangkobar Vocational School on Machine Elements, supplemented with job sheets and preceded by the provision of material in advance. The Muhammadiyah Organization-Based Community Service Program (PPM-Muh) aims to increase the knowledge and skills of teachers and students of SMK Muhammadiyah Karangkobar in carrying out periodic service work and light vehicle tune-ups. The dedication method is carried out through the theoretical provision of engine maintenance through classroom learning, soft skills, demonstrations, and tune-up practical exercises. The targets of this training program are teachers and students of SMK Muhammadiyah Karangkobar.
