It is characterized by an increase in systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg and diastolic pressure >90 mmHg. Non-pharmacological management is needed to be applied in lowering blood pressure. Slow deep breathing therapy exercises are done by breathing long and deep breaths slowly can stimulate the secretion of endorphins neurotransmitters in the autonomic nervous system which has an effect on decreasing the work of sympathetic nerves, increasing the work of parasympathetic nerves whose effects can affect heart rate to be slow and also vasodilation occurs in blood vessels. Objective: To lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients by using slow deep breathing exercises. Methods: The method used in this study used a case study with pre and post intervention, patients were given slow deep breathing exercises by breathing in through the nose for 3 seconds until they felt that the stomach expanded then held their breath for 3 seconds, then exhaled slowly through the mouth for 6 seconds, and repeated all steps for 15 minutes. Results: Obtained results of a decrease in blood pressure in patients after being given slow deep breathing exercises. Conclusion: Slow deep breathing therapy exercises with appropriate methods and procedures can be an alternative to lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients","PeriodicalId":499957,"journal":{"name":"Open access research journal of science and technology","volume":"150 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140421120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients and methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, analytical and descriptive study of 33 cases collected in the radiology and imaging department of the National Hospital of Niamey (HNN) over a period of 14 months (from 31/12/2015 to 10/02/2017). Were included in the study all patients with slow spinal cord compression occurred in a non-traumatic setting, admitted to the service for a Myélo-computed tomography. Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.03 years with extremes ranging from 27 to 75 years. The 30-35 age group was the most affected with 23.2% of cases. In our study, Myélo-computed tomography detected medullary compression in 33 patients (33%). The extra-dural compartment was the most common site of slow medullary compression with 97% and intra dural extra marrow with 3%. The dorsal spine was the most affected stage by slow spinal compression with 52% followed by the cervical (27%) and lumbar (22%) stage. Infectious pathology was the most common cause of spinal cord compression with a frequency of 63.6%, followed by degenerative (27.3%) and tumoral (9.1%) pathology. Conclusion: Myélo-computed tomography plays an important role in topographic and etiologic diagnosis of slow spinal cord compression in the absence of MRI.","PeriodicalId":499957,"journal":{"name":"Open access research journal of science and technology","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140422925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fracture fixation surgery is one of the procedures in handling fractures. However, there are still many short-term and long-term complications that can be experienced by patients, one of which is a decrease in range of motion which results in a decrease in muscle strength. Range Of Motion (ROM) is one of the therapies that can be done to improve and maintain the perfection of the ability to move joints completely and to increase muscle time and tone. Objective: To increase muscle strength in postoperative limb fracture patients can apply Range of Motion therapy. Methods: The method used in this study uses case studies with pre and post intervention. Range of Motion therapy is carried out 2 times a day in 3 consecutive days starting from the second day postoperatively. The patient was given ROM therapy on the second day postoperatively passively. On the third and fourth postoperative days, patients are asked to do ROM actively as taught on the first day. Results: Results showed that there was an increase in muscle strength in patients postoperative limb fractures after Range of Motion therapy. Conclusion: Range of motion therapy with appropriate procedures and performed routinely can improve muscle strength and daily activities in patients with postoperative limb fractures.","PeriodicalId":499957,"journal":{"name":"Open access research journal of science and technology","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140420658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used PCR and other methods to analyse DNA concentrations and purity in the fish samples. The results indicated variations in DNA concentration, purity, and the presence of micronuclei, suggesting genetic and cytogenetic responses to chemical exposures. The highest DNA concentration was recorded in the 25 ml/l group for both O-BE and X:D, while the lowest was in the 100 ml/l group. The genetic effects of Xylene: Diesel on the molecular level were also examined, with significant gaps in the alignments of experimental groups indicating notable differences in the sequences compared to the control group without chemical exposure. Through detailed analyses, including gel electrophoresis and sequence alignment, the study explores genetic variations and micronuclei frequencies in blood cells, shedding light on the ecotoxicological impacts and potential evolutionary implications of these oil-based substances on African catfish. Understanding the genetic variations induced by lethal concentrations of O-BE in Clarias gariepinus is crucial for assessing the broader environmental impact, as genetic changes in aquatic organisms can affect population health, adaptation, and ecosystem dynamics.","PeriodicalId":499957,"journal":{"name":"Open access research journal of science and technology","volume":"66 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140419613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
