Activity of Cannabinoids in Type II Diabetes
Abstract: The present research is a theoretical study of the medicinal use of Cannabis (cannabinoids) compounds in Type II Diabetes based on literature citing animal models and available clinical evidence from human studies. The study emphasizes the positive physiological actions and benefits of cannabinoid compounds in Type II Diabetes. The pharmacological activities of cannabinoid compounds in Type II Diabetes have been studies only in limited human clinical trials that were often …

Spinal Cord Compression Revealing a Spinal Osteochondroma
Abstract: Osteochondroma is a frequent cartilaginous tumor in adult, but the spinal localization is uncommon. They can be solitary or multiple (enchondromatosis) in the context of familial disease (MAFFUCCI syndrome). We report the case of a 27-years-old patient, hospitalized for progressive paraplegia. Medical imaging evokes the ostéochondroma diagnosis of the 5th dorsal vertebra. The histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was spectacularly recovered after surgery. Keywords: Benign bone tumor, osteochondroma, …

Effectiveness of Contract Relax Antagonist Contraction Technique and Muscle Energy Techniques to Improve Hamstring Muscles Flexibility in Collegiate Females
Abstract: Background: Flexibility is an essential element of normal biomechanical functioning in daily life. The hamstring muscles are important to control the human movement and are thus involved in activities such as running, jumping and a range of postural actions. The hamstring muscle tightness produces decreased range of motion and reduced flexibility of the pelvis, hip and knee joints. Muscle stiffness of the lower extremities and the subsequent decrease in joint …

Selection of Cannula and Site-Back to Basics
Abstract: Venepuncture is the most commonly invasive procedure in hospitals. Intravenous (IV) cannulation is the second most in procedure for patients in hospital. Today 85–95% of all hospitalised receive IV’s in one form or another. They are associated with a range of complications that can be damaging to patients’ health and increase healthcare costs. In order to minimise the risk of these complications, thorough patient assessment and careful selection of catheter …

Patient Teaching for Cardiac Rehabilitation in Cardio Diabetes
Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and are a significant contributor to morbidity and health-related costs. Coronary artery disease (CAD)—the most common type of CVDs—is considered as a chronic condition and, therefore, requires a careful medical management with multiple recommendations for patients to achieve optimal secondary prevention. As a consequence, patient education is a necessary step to promote patient understanding of the recommended therapies and behavior …

Physiotherapeutic Challenges in Treatment of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Review
Abstract: Background: Lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most common diseases in the elderly. It is characterized by narrowing of the spinal canal creating compression of the neural structures causing a constellation of symptoms that may include low back pain, lower extremity radiculopathy, neurogenic claudication, and gait impairment. LSS is the most frequent reason for spinal surgery in elderly people. But knowledge about the effectiveness, in particular of the conservative …
