Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Nursing Science - Dementia, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: The aim of this systematic review is the evaluation of the effectiveness of the interventions regarding communication between both the carer as well as the patient suffering with dementia. Data was found through different search engines, mainly PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus and Ovid. Research was done based on PRISMA guidelines. Almost 3,478 studies were extracted based on the titles and articles. While upon scrutiny only 9 fall under the desired data on effectiveness, efficacy and acceptability of communication intervention therapy among the dementia patients and their caregivers.In general, training treatments alter challenging behavior or carer load. Also, acceptance levels were high. More for family caretakers than those who are licensed carers. Even though many treatments weren't backed by an unambiguous conceptual framework, person-centered care remained among the most frequently mentioned paradigms.The study found that educational treatments improved carer understanding as well as interpersonal abilities. Successful strategies required engaged involvement from caretakers and were usually skill-based (which includes skill practice and conversation). Yet, improving the quality of life or mental health of caretakers and dementia patients may necessitate more specific treatments.

Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Health - Public Health, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of this systematic review is to assess how well diet and exercise work in the UK for those who have impaired glucose tolerance in order to prevent type 2 diabetes mellitus.The data was collected using a number of search engines, including Ovid, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Scopus. Research was done using PRISMA criteria. A total of 1200 studies were extracted based on the titles and articles. Upon deeper inspection, only nine, nevertheless, match the necessary data on the acceptability, efficacy, and effectiveness of diet and exercise intervention therapy in IGT patients.The main finding that unites all studies is how successful lifestyle changes are at postponing or averting the onset of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Every study shows how crucial it is to alter one's lifestyle, whether it be through dietary changes, regular exercise, or culturally relevant therapies, in order to reduce the risk of diabetes.The results of multiple studies have come together to show how effective lifestyle changes are in preventing and treating Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The consistently beneficial effects on glucose tolerance, which also highlight the therapies' potential to postpone the onset of type 2 diabetes due to impaired glucose tolerance, attest to their efficacy.

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Medicine - Anatomy, Physiology, Cytology, grade: A, Virtual University of Pakistan, language: English, abstract: Paralysis that only affects one side of your body is referred to as hemiplegia. Up to 85% of stroke victims suffer upper limb sensory deficits, dexterity and movement quality. To determine effects of visual tactile stimulation on upper limb sensory impairment, dexterity, and quality of movement with sub-acute hemiplegic patients. A randomized controlled trial, conducted on 26 sub-acute hemiplegic stroke patients age of 35 to 80 and sample was collected from Zafar hospital, Lahore. Upper limb sensory deficit, dexterity, and quality of movement were checked by standardized tools which were fugyl-meyer scale, Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament, box and block test and motor activity log assessment. Social package for statistical sciences version 25 used for statistical work. Parametric Independent sample t test was used for between group studies which shows that p-values of all the variables were less than 0.05 which means that there is a significant difference in pre- and post-intervention. Within group studies done by using paired sample t test which shows there is a difference in pre- and post-interventions of all variables but mean differences of all variables in experimental group was more significant. It is concluded that both interventions group shows difference, but visual tactile stimulation group shows better results.

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Medicine - Neurology, Psychiatry, Addiction, grade: A, Virtual University of Pakistan, language: English, abstract: A Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident, is defined as rapid clinical signs of focal (or global) damage to brain function, along with symptoms that last longer than 24 hours or lead to death, with an apparent cause, mainly vascular origin. Globally, cerebrovascular damage is the second-biggest cause of death and the third-largest cause of disability. This ratio is 1 in 19 deaths. Stroke is a substantial source of injury in the long tenure and is more disabled than fatal.To compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation strengthening exercises with Delorme and Watkins exercises program to improve the upper extremity function and strength in chronic stroke patients.A randomized clinical trial was conducted on 20 chronic stroke patients, age of 50 to70 years. Clinical trial registry number was NCT05904795. Sample was collected from Shahida Islam Teaching Hospital Lodhran through convenience sampling technique and then patients were randomly allocated to 2 groups. Group A received PNF strengthening exercisestraining while Group B received Delorme and Watkins exercise program. Upper limb motor functions, and grip strength, were checked by The Barthel Index Scale and Handheld Dynamometer. SPSS version 25 used for statistical work.Independent sample t test was used for between group analysis, which shows that upper limb function assessment through Barthel index shows that pre-intervention score of PNF+PT group is 37.60 ±5.60, whilst DL&WE group is 35.80 ±2.78 and post-intervention scores of the PNF+PT group is 75.70 ± 5.53 and DL&WE group is 44.70 ± 4.52 correspondingly. Strength is checked by dynamometer and pre-intervention score of PNF+PT ii group is 76.80 ±19.43, whilst DL&WE group is 71.32 ±25.23. The post-intervention scores of the PNF+PT group is 92.73± 18.48 and DL&WE group is 75.70± 22.86. P-value of both outcome variables were less than 0.05 in post-intervention, which means there is a statistical difference observed in post-interventions of between group studies.Within group studies done by applying paired sample t test which shows in PNF+PT group mean paired difference is -38.10 and DL&WE+PT group is -15.93.It is concluded that both interventions group shows difference, but Proprioceptive neuromuscular strengthening training group shows better results.
