Motor function deficits due to stroke affect the patients' mobility, their limitation in daily life activities, their participation in society and their odds of returning to professional activities. All of these factors contribute to a low overall quality of life. Rehabilitation training is the most effective way to reduce motor impairments in stroke patients. This multiple systematic review focuses both on standard treatment methods and on innovating rehabilitation techniques used to promote upper extremity motor function in stroke patients. With these protocol patients has been a significant improvement in the level of physical efficiency, especially in the way of walking and the patient's ability to walk closer to normal walking. The rehabilitation program has also achieved a substantial improvement in the muscle strength of the muscles working on the upper limb (such as arm muscles) and also on the lower limb (such as the hip, knee and ankle).","PeriodicalId":7958,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tropical Medicine and Public Health","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80154252","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}

Materials and Methods: The OC files were tested using an artificial zirconia canal. They were tested in air without any intracanal lubricant under static (Group 1) and dynamic (Group 4) modes, and after filling the canal with either oil (Group 2 and Group 5 under static and dynamic modes respectively) or 1% NaOCl (Group 3 and Group 6 under static and dynamic modes respectively). One Curve files were rotated freely in the canal at a speed of 350 rpm (continuous clockwise) under static mode until file failure occurred through fracture. In case of dynamic testing, the instruments were rotated at the same conditions in the canal, but with an additional back and forth movement until fracturing. The number of cycles to fracture (NCF) was recorded and statistically analyzed using One Way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests. Results: Testing of the file in air demonstrated the lowest fatigue resistance, where the static test mode (NCF: 560 ± 8.25) was the worse than the dynamic mode (NCF: 636.81±14.49). On the other hand, the instruments tested under both static and dynamic modes in oil as an intracanal lubricant showed improved lifespan in terms of NCF (1193.89±7.96 and 1351.39 ± 7.06) compared to the same modes in NaOCl lubrication (878.89 ± 8.59 and 1093.82±39.08). Regardless of intracanal lubricant, the dynamic groups produced better results than the static ones. In terms of fractured length, significant differences were identified between the groups except between Group 2 and Group 6. Conclusions: Type of intracanal lubricant demonstrated a more influential effect on the file lifespan than the mode of cyclic fatigue (CF) test. The dynamic CF test utilizing oil intracanal lubricant resulted the best improvement in the file lifespan.","PeriodicalId":7958,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tropical Medicine and Public Health","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90114500","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 risk of pregnancy complications is slightly higherfor women with rheumatoid arthritis than healthy women. The aim is to evaluate the rate of miscarriages in women with rheumatoid arthritis attending rheumatologic clinic at Marjan Hospital. The sample of women attending rheumatoid clinic was 1688, only 318 of them were with RA and 10 women were excluded as they receiving methotrexate during pregnancy. All those included in study were receiving folic acid, stop methotrexate and were diagnosed adopting ACR criteria 2010.Their age was between 15-50 years. They were compared to control group (300) attending obstetric department through the period of 12Dec 2016 to 12 Dec 2018. Those women evaluated through full history and physical examination including: age, parity, No. of miscarriages, family history of RA and laboratory test including rheumatoid factor, ESR, C-RP, Anti cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP), X-ray imaging& assessed clinically through DAS28.The data was collected according to format which was analyzed statistically &registered. All groups were comparable in their demographic criteria.Among 318 women with Rheumatoid arthritis, only 59 women had miscarriages (18.6%) per pregnancies while in control group was 19.7% which are comparable to that of general population. The majority of patients with Rheumatoid arthritis were multiparous(40.3%). As well as most of them had one or two miscarriage (84.7%). There is significant difference in mean age study groupamong women who had miscarriage than those without miscarriages P-value 0.002. As well asthere was no relation of those women with miscarriages with positive family history(3.5%). The miscarriages rate of patients with rheumatoid arthritis was of low frequency that is mean the disease itself has no effecton No. of miscarriage in comparison to normal population in Iraq.

The problem of this research is the lack of ability of children in carrying out the classification activities in Public Elementary School 12 Api-api Bayang subdistrict is likely caused by the ability of the basic mobility of non-locomotor, the students have less discipline in following the study of the classification. Method: The instruments used are MABC-2 (Movement Assessment Battery for Children Age Band 2) namely, Placing Pegs (Placing Stakes), Threading Lace (cremated lace), Drawing Trail, Catching with two hand s, Throwing beanbag onto the mat (throwing bead pads), One board balance (one balance board), Walking heel to toe forward (walking with fingertip step touching heel), Hooping on mats (jumping step above the mattress). This type of research is descriptive, implemented from May to July 2019. The population of this research is a student of UPT State Elementary School 12 Api-api which amounted to 130 students, with a sampling of research is purposive random sampling means sample withdrawal according to the requirement of 32 male students consisting of Grade 2 and Grade 3. Results: Analysis of data on the results of the study found that from 32 respondents to UPT Public Elementary School 12Api-api, Manual test section Dexterity (dexterity) obtained on average (74.3%) By medium category, while in the test section Aiming & Catching (aiming and throwing) was obtained on average (52.4%) medium category, as well as in the balance test section at the average gain (47.7%) medium category, while the results of non-locomotor motion overall can be average (62.0%) medium category.

The daily weather parameters included maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature, average humidity, maximum wind speed, minimum wind speed, and average wind speed. Based on each data distributions, the nonparametric method utilized to estimate the correlation between them. Spearman rank was used to conclude the very strong and strong correlation between the recovered covid-19 cases with temperature and humidity respectively. The relationship between the recovered cases and temperature was directly proportional while its relation inverse with humidity. The neural network techniques were applied to predict the importance of the weight values of each weather parameter and recovered cases.
