Leach ; Dr Andrea Bugarcic Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : 7 p. Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101480 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteurs : HE Vinci
Australie ; Education ; Études transversales ; Formation continue ; Formation professionnelle ; NaturopathieRésumé : Introduction To ensure clinical competency, and to facilitate the delivery of safe and effective care, it is important that continuing professional development (CPD) offerings for health professionals are relevant, appropriate and accessible. In the field of naturopathic medicine, there has been no research seeking to understand the educational needs and preferences of this workforce. This cross-sectional study aims to address this knowledge gap. Methods Australian adults holding a formal qualification in naturopathy were invited to complete a novel 29-item online questionnaire, comprising items on knowledge/skill gaps, knowledge/skill development, education delivery preferences and education barriers. Results One-hundred-ten naturopaths completed the survey. The most frequently reported knowledge and skills gaps of undergraduate naturopathic training were pathology test interpretation and business development/administration, respectively. Across the four broad areas of professional/clinical skills, clinical specialities, populations and clinical settings, respondents rated, respectively, effective patient education, mental health, care of adult populations, and working in integrative health care settings as high value or important areas for further education. Respondents indicated a preference for CPD to be delivered via seminars/workshops, webinars, journals and conferences, with a penchant for blended or online delivery. Correspondingly, most respondents reported cost and distance as major/moderate barriers to further education. Discussion This study has identified several important knowledge/skills deficits in Australian undergraduate naturopathic medicine education. An important next step of this work is the translation of findings into future naturopathic medicine curricula and CPD offerings.

Anxiété ; Inhibiteurs de la capture de la sérotonine ; Thérapie par acupuncture ; Thérapies complémentairesRésumé : Background In this trial, additive effects of acupuncture to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) treatment for reducing anxiety, were investigated. Methods 112 patients with anxiety disorder were randomly divided into three groups including SSRIs alone (drug group), SSRIs with sham acupuncture (control group) and SSRI with acupuncture (acupuncture group), and treated for 4 weeks. At the beginning of the study and on day 28, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire was completed and serum levels of cortisol were measured. Results 105 patients completed the treatment period. STAI score showed significant differences among the three groups at the end of the study; importantly, changes in STAI score in the acupuncture group were significantly larger than the other groups. A decrease in cortisol levels was observed in all groups; though statistically non-significant, this decrease in the acupuncture group was larger. Conclusion Acupuncture combined with SSRIs can significantly improve anxiety state compared to anti-anxiety therapy using SSRIs alone.

Auto-efficacité ; Chimiothérapie ; Relaxation ; Signes et symptômes ; Tumeurs du poumonRésumé : Background Patients with lung cancer receiving chemotherapy experience many symptoms, simultaneously or separately, that limit their daily living activities. This study aimed to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on treatment-related symptoms and self-efficacy in patients with lung cancer receiving chemotherapy. Materials and methods This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted in a university hospital chemotherapy outpatient clinic in Turkey. The study sample consisted of 84 patients, randomly allocated to an experimental group (n = 42) and a control group (n = 42). The experimental group received applied training in progressive relaxation exercises using an MP3 player. The control group received only standard nursing interventions in the chemotherapy unit. Data were collected from patients using a personal information form, a telephone counseling follow-up form, the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale and the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health Scale. Data collection tools were administered at four different times (at first interview and three times on the seventh day of the end of the chemotherapy cycle) and weekly telephone follow-ups were performed. Results The symptom scores (frequency, severity and level of distress) significantly decreased in the experimental group, compared with the control group (p = 0.0001). Similarly, self-efficacy scores significantly improved in the experimental group (p = 0.001). Conclusion Progressive relaxation exercises were potentially effective in promoting symptom management and improving the level of self-efficacy.

Comportement alimentaire ; Guerison ; Méditation ; StressRésumé : Background A randomized, parallel-controlled, blinded clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of Healing Meditation on stress and eating behavior of women undergoing standard weight-loss treatment. Materials and methods An outpatient clinic in Brazil, 55 women with overweight and obesity were included and randomized: 27 for the Meditation Group, and 28 for the Control Group. Randomization was stratified by body mass index category and based on blocks of four. For eight weeks, in addition to the standard weight loss treatment, the Intervention Group underwent a Healing Meditation program, and the Control Group participated in a round table to observe compliance. Reduction in stress and changes in eating behavior were assessed at baseline, and in the 8th, and 16th week using the Perceived Stress Scale, the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire, and Binge Eating Scale. Results The sample mean age was 49 + 11 years, 72.7% were obese, with a predominance of mixed (49.1%) and black (41.8%) ethnicity.

Aromathérapie ; Comportement en matière de santé ; Huile essentielle ; Perception ; Personnel de santéRésumé : Objectives Complementary and Integrative Medicines (CIM) are widely used by adults and children. Despite this, studies have shown that Healthcare Professionals' (HCPs) views about CIM vary. Because underlying knowledge, perceptions and biases may influence HCPs' acceptance of a new aromatherapy program, the investigators sought to assess HCPs? views regarding aromatherapy before implementing an aromatherapy program in a pediatric hospital. Designs and measures A convenience sample of HCPs at an academic pediatric hospital in the United States completed an investigator developed online questionnaire about their perceptions, knowledge, and use of essential oils. Results The sample included 987 respondents, of which: 62.0% were nurses. Overall, 94.2% of HCPs indicated that they ?rarely, never, or seldomly? discussed essential oil use with patients. Most indicated a willingness to incorporate essential oils into their patient care with appropriate education. Furthermore, 47.4% of HCPs reported positive views about the use of essential oils, 4.9% reported negative views and opinions, and 45% raised specific concerns about safety, education and/or evidence. Conclusion Overall, this study suggests that HCPs have limited knowledge regarding essential oils, are open to learning more about them, and would like more evidence specifically regarding the efficacy and safety of using essential oils in pediatrics. Additionally, most HCPs are not currently discussing essential oils with pediatric patients. However, they are open to incorporating them into their patients? care if they receive proper education, and are open to our organization implementing an aromatherapy program if appropriate education and safety measures are provided.

Acupression ; Essais cliniques comme sujet ; Fatigue ; Thérapie par acupuncture ; TumeursRésumé : Background and purpose This study aimed to identify the research evidence on acupoint stimulation (AS) for cancer-related fatigue (CRF) management. Methods Randomised controlled trials that utilised AS for CRF management were retrieved. The Cochrane Back Review Group Risk of Bias Tool was used for quality appraisal. RevMan 5.3 was used for meta-analysis. Results Fifteen studies were included. Both the overall (SMD = ?0.95, p = 0.008) and sub-group (acupuncture: SMD = ?1.25, p = 0.002; short-term AS: SMD = ?0.95, p = 0.02; medium-term AS: SMD = ?0.96, p = 0.003) analyses indicated that AS was more effective in alleviating CRF than standard treatment/care. A comparison between the true and sham AS interventions favoured the true AS for CRF management, although the difference did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion This study identified a promising role of AS in improving CRF. However, the study findings should be interpreted prudently due to the limited quality and sample sizes of some of the included studies.

Anxiété ; Broncho-pneumopathie chronique obstructive ; Dépression ; Medecine traditionnelle chinoise ; Méta-analyse ; Science des plantes médicinales ; Thérapies complémentairesRésumé : Objectives To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) on symptoms of depression and anxiety complicated by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Literature from 8 electronic medical databases were searched for meta-analysis using RevMan (version 5.3) and Stata (version 12.0) software. The GRADE Pro Guideline Development Tool and TSA Viewer (version.0.9.5.10 beta) were adopted to evaluate the certainty and conclusiveness of the evidence. Results 26 studies involving 2529 participants were identified. CHM demonstrated significant lower scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale compared to the control group without CHM. Moreover, CHM showed favorable safety. Conclusions The evidence verified the efficacy and safety of CHM on relieving depression and anxiety in COPD. However, further large-scale and rigorously designed studies are urgently warranted to strengthen the evidence.

Cannabidiol ; Dronabinol ; Gestion de la douleur ; Marijuana médicale ; Thérapies complémentairesRésumé : Background and purpose Denmark launched a pilot program of medical cannabis in January 2018. The aim was to establish whether medical cannabis and cannabis-based medicine (MC/CBM) were superior and safe compared to conventional treatment, regardless of the indications for which people received such medication. Materials and methods People (cases) were identified who had redeemed at least one prescription of MC/CBM according to the nationwide, unselected Danish registers. These were propensity-score matched to controls with the same indications who had not used MC/CBM. Potential participants were contacted electronically, and if willing to participate filled in various survey instruments online. Participants were also interviewed in person in order to investigate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and to assess cognitive levels. Different sets of analyses were conducted, handling potential confounders in different ways. Results In the primary analyses, cases were more satisfied with their treatment than were controls (mean (SD) 29.2 (4.8) versus 26.5 (4.5) on the CSQ, p = 0.006), and scored lower on depression (3.3 (3.0) versus 4.6 (2.9), p = 0.03). Cases reported higher levels of pain than controls when measured on the SF-36 bodily-pain subdomain (36.3 (23.0) versus 48.7 (30.1), p = 0.01). There were indications of worse symptoms of multiple sclerosis in cases compared to controls. Reported side-effects were generally mild. Conclusion Both potential effects and harms of MC/CBM were observed. Randomized trials are required to establish if these are true effects and harms, or due to confounding by indication.

Angor ; Dépression ; Méta-analyse ; Revue systématique ; Thérapie par acupunctureRésumé : Background and objective Despite that acupuncture is effective in treating anxiety, depression and chronic stable angina pectoris (CSAP), it remains unclear whether acupuncture can treat CSAP, anxiety and depression simultaneously. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy of acupuncture on CSAP-associated anxiety and depression. Methods Eight electronic databases were searched to identify eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or controlled clinical trials (i.e. ?acupuncture alone or combined with standard care? versus " sham acupuncture alone, sham acupuncture with standard care, or standard care alone?) from their inception to January 2021, which included PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang Database. Data were extracted and meta analyses were performed using the RevMan 5.3. Risk of bias (ROB) 2.0 was used for methodological quality assessment. GRADEprofiler 3.2.2 was used to rate the quality of evidence. Results Seven trials involving 893 subjects were included. Meta-analysis results showed that acupuncture combined with standard care was more effective in relieving anxiety and depression, reducing angina attack frequency, and angina pain intensity than sham acupuncture with standard care and standard care alone. In addition, the effect remained until 16 weeks after acupuncture. The safety of acupuncture for CSAP-associated anxiety and depression was also high. Nonetheless, the quality of evidence ranged from low to moderate. Conclusion Acupuncture may be used as an adjunctive therapy to treat CSAP-associated anxiety and depression. However, more high-quality RCTs are required to confirm our findings.

Démarche ; Maladie de Parkinson ; Medecine traditionnelle chinoise ; Thérapie par acupunctureMots-clés : Modèle de Heidelberg Résumé : Introduction Balance and gait disorders are relevant symptoms in the quality of life of Parkinson's patients. Currently, there is no therapy to reverse or treat this condition. Acupuncture treatment is believed to improve motor ability through the cortico-basal-thalamus-cortical-ganglia. Aim To investigate qualitatively the acute effect of acupuncture on balance and gait in Parkinson's disease in 7 patients. Methods This is a randomized and controlled crossover study. The same individual patient was part of both, experimental (real acupuncture) and control group (false acupuncture/sham), and the sequence was randomized. Balance and gait parameters were measured at two different moments, before and after treatment, using four force platforms as well as the collection of 3D markers positions taken by 11 cameras. Images were analyzed using Qualisys Track Manager software that let us extract data related to the quality of gait and balance. Results Statistically significant differences were found in gait speed (p = 0.016), gait cadence (p = 0.006), support base width (p = 0.0001), medio-lateral oscillation (p = 0.017), left-right step length (p = 0.0002), and stride length: right-right (p = 0.0000) and left-left (p = 0.0018), time of left support phase (p = 0.029), right support phase (p = 0.025) and double support phase (p = 0.015), between the initial and final moments for the experimental group. Differences in right-left stride length were found for both groups. Conclusion Our results suggest that the acupuncture protocol used objectively could improve gait in Parkinson disease patients. A deep research involving a statistical evaluation supported on a larger number of voluntaries should be accomplished to confirming these promising preliminary results.

Dépression ; Fatigue ; Maladies inflammatoires intestinales ; Qualité de vie ; YogaRésumé : Quality of life (QoL) of persons with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is often impaired by symptoms that do not primarily relate to intestinal inflammation. Among the most challenging extraintestinal symptoms are depression and fatigue, which are also frequent in other chronic diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer. Yoga as an ancient Indian tradition containing postures, breathing exercises and meditation may positively influence those symptoms. This review evaluates the current literature with regard to the effect of yoga-based interventions in persons with IBD and with regard to QoL, depression and fatigue in other somatic disorders. A systematic literature search yielded three trials examining the effects of yoga in patients with IBD and 37 trials addressing depressive syndromes or fatigue in somatic disorders. In summary, both in-person and video-based yoga classes are feasible, acceptable and safe as complementary treatment in patients with IBD and significantly improve anxiety and impaired quality of life. Current literature does not provide information on the effect of yoga on depression and fatigue in patients with IBD, but research from other somatic disorders or patients with depressive disorders implies the potential of yoga in this regard for persons with IBD. This should be specifically addressed in interventional trials with standardized yoga modules including patients with IBD suffering from fatigue, depression and/or impaired QoL.

Douleur chronique ; Essais cliniques comme sujet ; Hémophilie A ; Hemophilie B ; Hypnose ; Qualité de vie ; Thérapies complémentairesRésumé : Background and purpose Pain is a common condition among people with hemophilia (PWH), negatively impacting quality of life. However, effective treatment remains a challenge. This two-arm, parallel randomized controlled pilot trial aimed to examine the three-month effects of hypnosis intervention on clinical and psychosocial variables, and on the inflammatory profile of PWH. Materials and methods The study was conducted between January and October 2018, in a Reference Center for Congenital Coagulopathies. Adult (age ?18) patients were randomized to experimental group (EG) or control group (CG). The EG received four weekly hypnosis sessions plus treatment-as-usual, and the CG maintained treatment-as-usual only. Outcomes were evaluated at one week and three months post-intervention and included pain, joint status, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), emotional state and inflammatory profile (leukocytes, C-reactive protein, cytokines). The randomization sequence was computer-generated, and allocation was concealed until enrolment. The outcome assessor was blind to allocation, but blinding of the participants was not possible due to the differences in procedure. Results Twenty patients were randomized to EG (n = 10; 8 analyzed) or CG (n = 10; 10 analyzed). Two-way mixed ANOVA showed significant time * group interactions on pain interference with normal work and with relations with other people, and on perception of health status. The EG significantly improved in pain interference with normal work and perception of health status. There was no report of harm. Conclusion Hypnosis may be a promising intervention to manage hemophilia-related pain and promote HRQoL, with benefits lasting up to three months.

Composition corporelle ; Étudiants ; Système nerveux autonome ; Tolérance à l'effortMots-clés : Pratique de l'esprit et du corps Résumé : A substantial number of studies have shown the beneficial effects of mind-body practice on physical fitness among both the healthy middle-aged and elderly adults and patients with chronic diseases. However, its positive effects on college students remain poorly understood. This study aimed to systematically investigate the potential efficiency of the Baduanjin exercise on the maintenance of the homeostasis of body composition and the improvement of the cardiovascular function of the college students. The study revealed a promising efficacy of the Baduanjin exercise in the prevention of the loss of water, inorganic salts, protein, and muscle contents and the accumulation of body fat. Furthermore, the present study also demonstrated the positive efficacy of Baduanjin exercise in decreasing of peripheral and central arterial blood pressure and carotid and femoral artery pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) of the college students. Moreover, the heart rate variability (HRV) analysis was also performed using the assessment of time and frequency domain indices. The data showed that all of the time-domain indices and the high-frequency (HF) band of the HRV relatively increased, whereas the low-frequency (LF) band of the HRV relatively decreased after the long-term Baduanjin exercise. Collectively, the present study suggested that a 12-week Baduanjin exercise could maintain the body composition in a relatively healthy and stable range and improve blood pressure, central hemodynamics, and the arterial stiffness of the college students. The underlying mechanism might be due to the improvement of parasympathetic activity and the suppression of sympathetic activity of college students via Baduanjin exercise.

Accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) ; Dépression ; Méta-analyse ; Thérapie par acupunctureMots-clés : Approche pharmaceutique Résumé : Background Acupuncture is considered as an effective alternative treatment for post-stroke depression because of its low side effects and easy availability. However, it usually depends on the skills and experience of doctors to choose which acupuncture methods for specific parts. This study compared the effectiveness of different frequently-used acupuncture methods for specific parts in treating post-stroke depression patients by using network meta-analysis. Methods We searched eight databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database, Wanfang database, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), VIP Chinese Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed and Web of Science from the date of database inception to November 29, 2020 to identify eligible RCTs. The trial registers in ClinicalTrials.gov, World Health Organization, and Cochrane trials were searched as a supplement. The effective rate was extracted from the included RCTs as primary outcomes after screening. The network meta-analysis was performed by Review Manager 5.3, Stata14.0, and R 3.6.3. Results 51 studies were included, which contained 3966 participants among 12 interventions. Based on the ranking probability, scalp acupuncture plus conventional acupuncture was considered to be the most effective method, followed by auricular acupuncture, eye acupuncture, eye acupuncture plus drug, auricular acupuncture plus drug, auricular acupuncture plus conventional acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, scalp acupuncture plus drug, abdominal acupuncture, conventional acupuncture plus drug, drug, conventional acupuncture. Conclusions 12 acupuncture methods may be effective and safe in improving the condition of patients with PSD. Higher quality randomized controlled trials need sufficient evidence because the overall quality of included trials can only be classified as low quality.

Enquêtes sur les soins de santé ; Islande ; Méditation ; Thérapies complémentaires ; YogaRésumé : Background Use of yoga or meditation has increased decisively in recent years. Factors associated with the use of yoga and meditation are not well understood. The aim was to focus on the relationship of yoga and meditation to sociodemographic background, religiosity, healthcare-related attitudes, mental and physical health, and physician visits. Materials and methods This study builds on data from a national health survey of a random sample of Icelandic adults, aged 18?75 (n = 1599; response rate of 58%). Results The overall use of yoga or meditation reached 19.3% in 2015. This is an increase of 12.5% points over a nine-year period. The increase was much greater for women. Yoga or meditation use was positively related to the female gender, younger age, higher levels of education, and not belonging to a religious denomination. It was also positively related to higher anxiety, previous visits to a physician, and a positive attitude toward CAM services, but it was negatively related to having chronic medical conditions. Conclusion Increased use of yoga or meditation may reflect public interest in Icelander's self-care and health promotion. Further studies are needed to better understand the predictors and effects of yoga and meditation.

Curcuma ; Maladies parodontales ; Méta-analyse ; Revue systématique ; Thérapies complémentairesRésumé : Background Periodontal disease (PD) is the second most prevalent buccal infectious condition in adults. Owing to its multifactorial etiology, treatment and maintenance are challenging. Scaling and root planing, associated with adequate plaque control, are considered the gold standard treatments for this disease. However, the instrumentation techniques can fail to completely eliminate calculus, particularly in higher grade and progression rated PD cases, and the continuing efficient removal of the biofilm by the patient can limit the long-term response of this treatment. Anti-infective herbal products, such as Curcuma, have been added as adjuvant therapy to prolong periodontal treatment outcomes. Objective This systematic review aimed to summarize and evaluate whether Curcuma can contribute to PD treatment when applied as an adjunct to the standard scaling and root planing therapy. Data sources We searched databases using specific keywords and Boolean operators and systematically conducted the extraction and analysis according to the PROSPERO (CRD42019145691) database. The main eligibility criteria were randomized clinical trials in humans published in the English language. Results Twelve studies were included in the review and 11 in the meta-analysis. Quantitative analysis of different clinical parameters was described. In comparison with the control group, Curcuma was associated with a reduction in pocket depth after 90 days of treatment (mean deviation: 0.48; 95% confidence interval: 0.89?0.08). Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis indicated that Curcuma is an effective product when applied as adjunct therapy for PD treatment. This improved the clinical and microbiological parameters.

This critical evaluation aims to assess the completeness of reporting for NMAs of acupuncture to enhance the validity of findings. Materials and methods Five databases were searched. The characteristics and reporting quality based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension Statement for reporting of NMA (PRISMA-NMA) were evaluated. NMAs were categorized into two groups according to the publication date, reporting guideline, and intervention. The group differences and correlation coefficients were calculated. Results Forty-two NMAs of acupuncture were evaluated. The reporting quality for new items in the key concepts of NMAs was low (median 70.0 % (interquartile range 60.0?80.0)). While the issue of consistency was well reported, the assumption of transitivity and network geometry showed poor reporting. Seventeen studies that followed the PRISMA-NMA guideline showed a higher reporting rate for essential concepts of NMA. The recency of publication did not guarantee clear reporting. Conclusion The reporting quality of NMAs of acupuncture was low. The researchers should follow the guidelines on the reporting of NMAs.

Enfant (6-12 ans) ; Enquête ; Oesophagite à éosinophiles ; Pédiatrie ; Thérapies complémentairesRésumé : Background and purpose Utilization of complementary medicines (CMs) amongst children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in Australia is high. Carers' beliefs, perceptions and use of CM can influence the decision to use CM in children in their care. This study explores the factors influencing the use of CM for a child's EoE when the carer also uses CM. Materials and methods Carers of children aged 0?18 years with EoE participated in a national cross-sectional online survey, conducted in Australia between September 2018 and February 2019. Data analysis included bivariate analysis, Cramer's V, backwards stepwise logistic regression and binomial logistic regression. Results Of the 181 total survey responses, 165 (91.2 %) respondents indicated they had utilized some form of CM for themselves. Children whose carer had used some form of CM for themselves were more likely to have used CM than children whose carer had not used CM (OR 4.6; p = 0.001). Of the CM self-using carers, 125 (75.8 %) had also chosen to utilize CM for their child's EoE. Use of CM in children was more likely amongst children who had used a pharmaceutical for their EoE (OR 7.51; p = 0.010), and those whose carer had consulted with ?other health practitioners or health workers? for their child's EoE (OR 5.34; p Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=290850

Allaitement naturel ; Essais cliniques comme sujet ; Mamelons ; Période du postpartum ; Vernix caseosaRésumé : Background and purpose Vernix caseosa, a natural substance similar to mother's milk with protective effects on the skin, might be effective in preventing nipple problems. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential efficacy of vernix caseosa compared to the conventional use of mother's milk in the prevention of postpartum nipple problems. Materials and methods This randomized, controlled, single-blind experimental study involved 64 primipara mothers who underwent cesarean section and were randomly and equally divided between the vernix caseosa group and the mother's milk group. All mothers received nipple care four times daily during the first postpartum week. Data were collected using personal information and nipple monitoring forms. Results The incidence of nipple pain, rashes, and an abnormal appearance was similar in both groups on the first day postpartum (p = 0.132, p = 0.516, and p = 0.132, respectively), and none of the mothers had nipple cracks. On the seventh day, mothers in the vernix caseosa group had significantly less pain (p = 0.042), significantly reduced rash (p = 0.048), significantly higher satisfaction (p = 0.023), and no nipple cracks. Conclusion Nipple care with vernix caseosa is more effective than with mother's milk in preventing postpartum nipple pain, rashes, and cracks.

Australie ; Grossesse ; INDUCTION ; Massage ; ParturitionRésumé : Background and purpose There is limited evidence on the efficacy and safety of induction massage; however, there are some massage therapists in Australia who offer induction massage. The aim of this paper is to determine the information being provided to consumers on websites pages of Australian massage therapists who provide ?induction massage?. Materials and methods A qualitative summative content analysis methodology employing both manifest and latent content analysis was used to examine website pages of Australian massage therapists offering ?induction massage?. Results Twenty-eight websites met the criteria for inclusion. The qualitative theme was a façade of hope with three subthemes: a) misconception and equivocation, b) marketing scieneploitation and c) lack of empowerment. Conclusion While there were only a small number of websites that provided induction massage, these webpages generally failed to provide accurate and complete information and used deceptive and misleading statements and language that made ?induction massage? appear more efficacious and legitimate than current evidence suggests it is, thus potentially giving false hope to potential consumers.

Method A randomized clinical trial of 52 participants, diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing adjuvant hormone therapy that were randomized and divided into three groups (1): Belly dance group, which received 16 weeks of Belly Dance classes 2) Mat Pilates group, that performed 16 weeks of Pilates intervention and (3) Control group, that received educational activities in the form of lectures and was invited to maintain its routine activities. The participants answered a questionnaire in which they contained the clinical and personal characteristics; quantification of the range of motion of the upper limbs using the Absolute Axis 360° digital goniometer; self-esteem by the Self-Esteem Scale (EAR) and depressive symptoms by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). All data was collected at two moments in the study, in the pre-intervention period (baseline) and at the end of the 16 weeks of intervention. Results Only the variable range of motion variable showed significant results in all study groups (p = 0.025), with the Mat Pilates group having the best scores. Although not significant, the other study variables also improved after the intervention period. Conclusion Belly dance and the Mat Pilates can bring positive results in the range of movement of women undergoing adjuvant treatment of breast cancer, with the Pilates method being the one that most contributed to improvements in this variable.

Réadaptation ; StressMots-clés : Battements binauraux Résumé : Background and purpose Binaural beats are seen as a new type of ?digital-drug?. The aim of this study was to determine if binaural beats could facilitate physiological recovery from a mental stressor. Materials and methods 92 adults were exposed five times each to a 2-min mental stressor and a subsequent 4-min rest period containing silence or 1-of-4 examples of binaural beats (2, 5, 10, and 24 Hz). Physiological recovery across the five rest periods, as measured using skin conductance, heart rate, and breathing, were compared using one-way analysis of variance. Results Binaural beats were linked to enhanced physiological recovery relative to silence. However, the expected pattern of results whereby lower frequency binaural beats would be associated with greater physiological recovery, was not observed. Conclusion Our findings do not support a relationship between binaural beats and systematic changes in emotional states as measured physiologically. On the basis of our results the acute administration of binaural beats in primary care to lower sympathetic arousal cannot yet be considered an evidence-based practice.

Actigraphie ; Acupression ; Polysomnographie ; Sommeil ; Sujet âgéMots-clés : Acupressions auriculaires Résumé : Aim This study was conducted to examine the effects of auricular acupressure on sleep in elderly people with sleep disorders. Methods This was a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study. The participants aged over 65 years old were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 21) and the sham control group (n = 21). The participants in the experimental group and the sham control group received auricular acupressure on sleep-disorder-related points or to sleep-disorder-unrelated points, respectively. The intervention was implemented for a total of eight weeks. To validate the effects of the treatment, polysomnography with the Alice portable sleep diagnostic system; actigraphy with Fitbit Alta; and melatonin, serotonin, and cortisol blood tests were conducted. Results Non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep stage 3 duration change (Z = ?2.187, p = .029) and Non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep stage 3 ratio change (Z = ?2.423, p = .014), measured by polysomnography, of the experimental group showed a significant increase over time compared to the sham control group. Conclusions Auricular acupressure applied for eight weeks was found to be effective in increasing Non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep stage 3 duration and Non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep stage 3 ratio among sleep stages of the elderly. Consequently, it showed that auricular acupressure can be used as a proven nursing intervention method for sleep disorder in elders to increase deep sleep duration and ratio.

Adulte ; Régime alimentaire ; Stress ; YogaRésumé : Background and Purpose Stress contributes to dietary patterns that impede health. Yoga is an integrative stress management approach associated with improved dietary patterns in burgeoning research. Yet, no research has examined change in dietary patterns, body mass index (BMI), and stress during a yoga intervention among stressed adults with poor diet. Materials and methods Objectively-measured BMI and a battery of self-report questionnaires were collected at four time points during and following a 12-week yoga intervention (N = 78, 71% women, mean BMI = 25.69 kg/m2+4.59) ? pre-treatment (T1), mid-treatment (6 weeks; T2), post-treatment (12 weeks; T3), and at 3-month follow-up (24 weeks; T4). Results T1 to T3 fruit and vegetable intake, BMI, and stress significantly declined in the overall sample. Reduction in vegetable intake was no longer significant after accounting for reductions in caloric intake, and reduction in caloric intake remained significant after accounting for reductions in stress. Conclusion Findings may be interpreted as yoga either encouraging or adversely impacting healthy dietary patterns (i.e., minimizing likelihood of future weight gain vs. decreasing vegetable intake and overall caloric intake among individuals who may not need to lose weight, respectively). Continued research is warranted, utilizing causal designs.

The purpose of the study was to determine the norms and intentions of nurses towards the clinical use of herbal medicine.
Method
Information on nurses’ demographics, norms and intentions was gathered through individual face-to-face interviews. Interviews were analysed using the process of content analysis.
Results
Beliefs of the nurses and motivational factors formed their norms. The nurses believed herbal medicine was God-given and was used by their ancestors with good outcomes. Some were self-motivated to serve herbal medicine while others counted on patient's recovery upon the use of herbal medicine to motivate them. Positive and negative intentions were discovered; thus, preparedness and unpreparedness to serve herbal medicine in the future.
Conclusions
Though some nurses believe herbal medicine is God-given, used by their ancestors and motivated to serve, others were unwilling because of inadequate training. Training of professional nurses on herbal medicine may improve their negative intentions.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272790

Titre : Development and validation of the ADVANCER framework for naturopathic education and practice: A delphi study Type de document : Article Auteurs : Matthew J. Leach Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-8 Note générale : https://doi-org.ezproxy.vinci.be/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101397 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Background
There has been little attempt to date to narrow the education-practice gap in naturopathic medicine. A framework that brings naturopathic medicine education and practice closer together could help codify the knowledge of naturopathic medicine by providing simultaneous guidance on curriculum development and clinical decision-making in the discipline.
Objective
To develop, refine and validate the Advancing Naturopathic Education and Practice (ADVANCER) framework.
Methods
Published literature and pertinent government, professional association and institutional websites were scoped to identify key constructs for the ADVANCER framework. The constructs were grouped into ten domains, with each domain defined and translated into teaching and clinical practice outcomes. A two-round e-Delphi method, comprising international experts in naturopathic medicine education, was used to refine and validate the framework definitions and outcomes.
Results
Sixteen academics, from five different countries, participated in the Delphi study. In round one, nine of the ten domains of the ADVANCER framework were rated as either very important or extremely important by 81.2% of participants. Only 68.8% of participants rated the tenth domain as either very important or extremely important. Participant feedback on each domain were pooled and reviewed, and where suggested changes were recommended by more than one participant, respective definitions and outcomes of each domain were amended. In round two, at least 90% of participants rated each domain of the amended ADVANCER framework as either very important or extremely important, meaning consensus to retain these domains, definitions and outcomes had been reached.
Conclusions
The study findings indicate that the ADVANCER framework is conceptually sound and potentially applicable to diverse institutions and countries. An important next step of this research is to establish whether implementation of the ADVANCER framework within naturopathic medicine education and practice is feasible, effective and sustainable.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272794

The meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for the treatment of post-stroke insomnia.
Methods
Randomized controlled trials were identified from five databases before April 2020. The primary outcomes were the rate of improvement and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scores; the secondary outcomes included the follow-up PSQI scores and safety.
Results
Forty-one trials were included. Compared to drugs, the pooled results revealed that acupuncture had a higher rate of improvement in sleep (risk ratio: 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17, 1.24) and a better PSQI score immediately and three months after treatment (weighted mean differences [WMD]: 3.23, 95%CI: 3.92, −2.54; and −6.18, 95%CI: 8.28, −4.07, respectively). Side effects were minor and rarely reported on acupuncture.
Conclusion
The existing evidence suggests acupuncture may be more effective in treating post-stroke insomnia than drugs. It also appears to have a good safety profile and more long-term benefits.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272795

Objective assessment of activity using accelerometers (i.e., ActiGraph) has gained popularity, but reactivity to assessment and non-adherence to wearing the ActiGraph may bias data. We explored: 1) experiences of wearing the ActiGraph to identify ways to increase adherence and facilitate accurate assessment of activity; and 2) barriers and facilitators to increasing activity following two mind-body activity programs to optimize future interventions. We conducted semi-structured exit interviews with 13 participants with heterogenous chronic pain who completed a randomized controlled trial of two mind-body activity programs. We analyzed transcripts using a framework approach to generate themes. Participants indicated that receiving reminders increased ActiGraph wear adherence and reported that program skills such as gratitude, pacing, mindfulness, and deep breathing were facilitators to increasing activity, while medical problems were barriers. Interventions aiming to increase activity may benefit from emphasizing mind-body skills and sending ActiGraph wear reminders.

To describe pregnant women's experiences and perceived facilitators/barriers of a prenatal yoga intervention to prevent excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG).
Methods
Pregnant women (N = 13) were interviewed after participation in a 12-week prenatal yoga intervention to prevent EGWG. Interviews were summarized using thematic analysis.
Results
Twelve themes were identified and organized into four categories: 1) experiences of prenatal yoga (positive experience/enjoyment, pain relief, connecting to body), 2) prenatal yoga and weight (increased mindfulness/self-awareness, increased physical activity, weight management), 3) barriers to prenatal yoga (physical body, commute/traffic, schedule), and 4) facilitators of prenatal yoga (healthy pregnancy, support from other pregnant women, the feeling from prenatal yoga).
Conclusion
Prenatal yoga may relieve pain and help women be more connected to their bodies. Prenatal yoga may also help women become more aware of their health behaviors and increases their physical activity which may have important implications for reducing EGWG.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272799

Titre : French handlers’ perspectives on Animal-Assisted Interventions Type de document : Article Auteurs : Alice Mignot ; Karelle de Luca ; Gérard Leboucher ; Véronique Servais Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-6 Note générale : https://doi-org.ezproxy.vinci.be/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101356 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Background
Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI) are well implemented in human healthcare, in France as elsewhere; yet there are still difficulties in characterizing these practices and misconceptions about their mechanisms - little is known about the French practice of AAI and about the human-animal team.
Objectives
This study aims to characterize AAI by exploring their specificities through French handlers’ perspectives.
Material and method
An online survey addressed to French handlers working in AAI with mainly one dog was carried out. This research included questions about their practice in AAI (registration status, beneficiaries, and animals) and their background (training in AAI, training in the medico-social field, training in animal behavior). We then examined a phenomenological understanding of handlers’ definitions of their practice in AAI, their motivations to work with these approaches, and the expectations of the human-animal team. We used an open coding strategy and created major themes from their answers.
Results
111 handlers participated in this study. The quantitative data highlighted a heterogeneity of handlers' profiles and professional backgrounds, although most profiles had previous training in healthcare. Five themes characterizing AAI emerged from the qualitative analysis: (1) AAI as additional approaches to care settings, (2) AAI as person-centered approaches, (3) the complementarity between handlers and their animal(s), (4) the shared role of mediator, and (5) handlers’ beliefs about the human-animal relationship related to their personal experiences. This survey allowed us to understand how the French use AAI and its role in the care system.
Conclusion
The benefits of AAI are numerous both for care settings and for the caregivers mainly by making the care more humane. AAI seem to put the wellbeing of beneficiaries and the relationship with the caregiver at the center of the care. The complementarity of the human-animal team is the common feature of these practices and is critical to their success. Future interdisciplinary studies are required to explore the particularities of these interspecific approaches and the differences between countries.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www-sciencedirect-com.ezproxy.v [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272808

and purpose. COVID-19 is a novel viral disease causing worldwide pandemia. The aim of this study was to describe the effect of adjunctive individualized homeopathic treatment delivered to hospitalized patients with confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Patient presentation
Thirteen patients with COVID-19 were admitted. Mean age was 73.4 ± 15.0 (SD) years. Twelve (92.3%) were speedily discharged without relevant sequelae after 14.4 ± 8.9 days. A single patient admitted in an advanced stage of septic disease died in hospital. A time-dependent improvement of relevant clinical symptoms was observed in the 12 surviving patients. Six (46.2%) were critically ill and treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). Mean stay at the ICU of the 5 surviving patients was 18.8 ± 6.8 days. In six patients (46.2%) gastrointestinal disorders accompanied COVID-19.
Conclusion
The observations suggest that adjunctive homeopathic treatment may be helpful to treat patients with confirmed COVID-19 even in high – risk patients especially since there is no conventional treatment of COVID-19 available at present.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272810

Objective
To examine the influences of psychosocial and sociodemographic factors on health-care professionals’ intention to use CIM in their psychiatric clinical practice.
Method
One-hundred-and-five participants completed a questionnaire developed from an adapted version of Triandis’ Theory of Interpersonal Behavior (TIB). Intentions to use CIM (yes or no) were analyzed using logistic regression models.
Results
The multivariate model retained three main factors: affect, perceived social norms, and conditions facilitating CIM. These predicted health-care professionals’ intention to use CIM with an AUC = 94.7%.
Results
underlined that positive affective attitudes towards CIM, feeling that CIM was congruent with professional and institutional goals, and having sufficient skills in CIM were essential to ensuring that health-care professionals would integrate CIM into their clinical practice.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272811

Titre : The guidelines and policies that influence the conduct of Animal-Assisted Activities in Residential Aged-Care Facilities: A systematic integrative review Type de document : Article Auteurs : Wendy Newton ; Tania Signal ; Jenni Judd Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-9 Note générale : https://doi-org.ezproxy.vinci.be/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101395 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Introduction
For some time, Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACF) have incorporated animals into their environment to relieve loneliness and isolation for aged-care residents. However, research examining this practice is not as developed. This paper aims to identify the policies and practices influencing the conduct of Animal-Assisted Activities (AAA) in RACF focusing on the Australian context.
Methods
Peer-reviewed and gray literature were searched using an array of databases including CINAHL; Embase; Medline; Pubmed; Scopus and Web of Science; Google Scholar; PROSPERO, Proquest Dissertations; Theses Global; Animal Studies Repository; Medicine and Health Science Commons; Open Gray and a targeted Google search for relevant Australian Guidelines. Database searches had no time limits. Nine documents published between 1990 and 2018 were identified, appraised and subsequently included in the analysis.
Results
Facilities have not developed or implemented core policies; instead, there appears to be a reliance on AAA providers ensuring resident safety. Animal welfare is also identified as an emerging area, warranting further action and policy development.
Conclusion
The requirement for effective AAA policies for RACF staff continues to be an area of need. Over the last 30 years, the development of policies guiding the provision of animal activities within RACFs has been inconsistent in both content and application, including the implementation of basic hygiene policies. If the international situation is indicative, further work is needed in Australia to develop and enforce infection control, risk management and animal welfare policies in RACF and AAA organizations.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272813

To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of five-element music therapy on anxiety, depression, quality of life (QoL), sleep quality and Karnofsky performance score (KPS) in cancer patients.
Methods
We searched English databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science) and Chinese databases (CNKI, WanFang, CBM and VIP database) from the inception to December 25, 2020. Two investigators independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias according to the eligibility criteria. The RevMan 5.3 software was used to perform the meta-analysis.
Results
A total of 22 studies, 2053 people with cancer were included. Meta-analysis showed that five-element music therapy had a significant difference for relieving depression (SMD = −1.11, 95% CI: 1.41 to −0.82, P
Conclusions
Five-element music therapy had a positive effect on depression, QoL, sleep quality, and KPS in cancer patients, while did not show a positive effect on anxiety. Future researchers need to optimize the research program and conduct more high-quality, large sample, multi-center randomized controlled studies. Besides, it would be helpful for future researchers to explain the five-element music therapy being examined and how it is potentially useful in western contexts.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272815

Titre : Effect of inspiratory muscle training on dyspnea-related kinesiophobia in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A randomized controlled trial Type de document : Article Auteurs : Seda Saka ; Hulya Nilgun Gurses ; Mehmet Bayram Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-9 Note générale : https://doi-org.ezproxy.vinci.be/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101418 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Background
The major symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is dyspnea, which causes dyspnea-related kinesiophobia resulting in avoidance of activities associated with dyspnea or compensation by reducing the rate of activity. The aim of this study was to assess dyspnea-related kinesiophobia and determine the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on dyspnea-related kinesiophobia in COPD.
Methods
Forty COPD subjects were randomly allocated to either the IMT or sham group. Both groups' maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) was assessed weekly. All patients were instructed to perform the training exercises for 15 min twice a day, 5 days a week for a total of 8 weeks. In the IMT group, intensity was set at 30% of MIP and adjusted according to weekly MIP value. In the sham group, intensity remained constant at 15% of initial MIP. Pulmonary function test (PFT), respiratory muscle strength, 6-min walk test (6 MWT), Breathlessness Beliefs Questionnaire (BBQ), Modified Medical Research Council scale (MMRC), modified Borg scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) were assessed before and after the intervention.
Results
BBQ scores ranged from 18 to 51, with mean values in the IMT and sham groups of 39.80 ± 7.62 and 43.00 ± 6.58, respectively. When between-group differences of all outcome scores were compared, there was a statistically significant improvement in the IMT group than in the sham group (p
Conclusions
Our study provides data on the presence and level of dyspnea-related kinesiophobia in COPD patients. All patients had BBQ scores higher than 11, indicating dyspnea-related kinesiophobia. IMT reduced BBQ score and improved respiratory function, and exercise capacity. Our results also support the other known benefits of IMT such as reduced dyspnea and symptom perception, decreased anxiety and depression, and improved quality of life.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272816

Chinese patent medicines (CPMs) have gained increasing attention for the treatment of primary osteoporosis (POP), but there is a lack of high-quality evidence regarding their efficacy. We conducted a network meta-analysis that considered both direct and indirect comparisons to assess and rank the efficacy and safety of CPMs for POP.
Methods
Seven electronic databases were searched from their inception to May 2020. A random effects model was applied within a frequentist framework.
Results
Thirty-eight studies with 16 kinds of medicines (13 CPMs, 3 Western medicines) and 3,941 patients were included in this study. This study showed that Jintiange capsule was the most efficacious for increasing the L2-L4 average bone mineral density (BMD) and that Zuogui Wan was the most efficacious for increasing the femoral neck BMD. Compared with calcium, Gusongjiangu Wan (RR = 10.04, 95% CI 1.36–74.32, p = 0.008), Gushukang granules (RR = 12.63, 95% CI 2.02–78.99, p = 0.015) and Xianling Gubao capsule (RR = 6.06, 95% CI 1.38–26.65, p = 0.0003) had fewer adverse reactions.
Conclusion
In the treatment of POP, Jintiange capsule and Zuogui Wan are effective CPMs for improving the BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck, respectively.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272818

Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is considered a multifactorial disease characterized by a persistent increase in blood pressure levels. Currently, the efficient control of blood pressure is achieved by both the use of pharmacological therapy and the control of risk factors. In addition, the use of biofeedback (BFB) as a non-pharmacological strategy represents a promising therapy.
Objective
This study aims to evaluate the effects of BFB on systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, as well as on environmental and psychosocial factors in patients with essential SAH.
Methods
A systematic review (SR) of the literature was carried out in English and Portuguese using the following databases: SCIELO, LILACS, CINAHL, Cochrane, and PubMed. The search strategy included a mix of terms for the key concepts Biofeedback, Heart Rate Variability, Psychophysiological Feedback, and Heart Biofeedback. Studies were analyzed independently.
Results
The included studies evaluated a total of 462 subjects of both sexes. The meta-analysis revealed that BFB significantly elicited greater blood pressure control, mainly improving DBP levels (Z = 2.15; P = 0.03).
Discussion
Besides improvement in DBP readings post-intervention, BFB also resulted in better disease-related environmental and psychosocial factors, such as reduced stress levels. The magnitude of effect did not appear to depend on the type of BFB applied.
Conclusion
This SR demonstrated that BFB with visual and/or auditory information is a complementary option to pharmacological treatment in the management of individuals with systolic and diastolic arterial hypertension. Moreover, the use of this adjuvant therapy seems to facilitate better DPB control.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272819

Type de document : Article Auteurs : Anna Hadamus ; Adam Wojda ; Dariusz Bialoszewski Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-5 Note générale : https://doi-org.ezproxy.vinci.be/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101421 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Background and purpose
Muscle energy techniques (METs) are used to reduce tension in neck muscles and therefore, can be used together with Swedish massage to enhance its effect. The aim of this study was to assess if using METs combined with massage could improve sleep quality.
Materials and methods
In this prospective, randomised controlled trial forty patients with chronic cervical spine pain were divided into two equal groups. Both groups attended 10 sessions of Swedish massage, and the study group additionally attended MET-sessions. Sleep disturbances were assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Results
A significant improvement in terms of sleep disturbances was seen in both groups. The MET group demonstrated improvement in all PSQI components. In the control group, the improvement included only 4 components of the index.
Conclusion
Massage therapy combined with relaxing METs may be more effective than massage therapy alone in this group of patients.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272821

and purpose. Olfactory dysfunction is a common symptom of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of therapeutic pulsed ultrasound (PUS) on olfactory dysfunction in patients with CRS.
Materials and methods
Patients with CRS underwent treatment with PUS for 10 sessions, three days a week. The outcome measures were the Smell Identification Test (SIT) and 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-20).
Results
Fifteen patients (9 male, mean age 48.9 ± 9.7 years) with disease duration of 55.13 ± 65.4 months participated. Analyses showed olfactory dysfunction was completely resolved (Cohen's d = 5.62). The SNOT-20 scores showed significant improvement of CRS symptoms after treatment (Cohen's d = 1.55). Effects remained at one-month follow-up.
Conclusion
Therapeutic PUS improved the olfactory dysfunction and sino-nasal symptoms in patients with CRS.

Naming impairments are often found in aphasia. Combining mHealth technology with mental imagery may offer new insights into novel approaches to naming interventions in persons with aphasia. The aims of this study are to (1) explore whether mental imagery can improve performance during a naming task in adults with aphasia; and, (2) demonstrate the use of app-based data collection for research in aphasia rehabilitation through utilization of an app designed specifically for this study.
Materials and methods
A single subject non-concurrent multiple baseline design across participants was utilized. Four participants with anomic and conduction aphasia were included. Each participant's percentage of naming accuracy was measured before the initiating intervention to establish a baseline level of performance.
Results
Per overlap metrics, two of the participants demonstrated a strong effect in improving naming from baseline to intervention on items using the app. Two participants showed no effect in naming accuracy from the imagery intervention.
Conclusion
Some participants showed improvement in naming items following an imagery script, suggesting that this complementary health practice should continue to be explored. Additionally, this study demonstrates the successful use of app-based data collection.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272823

A two-arm randomized clinical trial included 34 breast cancer survivors divided randomly between a mat Pilates group (n = 18), that performed 16 weeks of mat Pilates exercises, and a control group (n = 16), who were invited to maintain their daily routine activities and received three educational sessions. Data collection occurred at baseline and at post-intervention time. The postural alignment was assessed using the Postural Assessment Software (SAPO) and the balance was assessed by the MINIBESTest. When the two-way ANOVA was performed on postural alignment results, a significant statistical difference was found in the angle between acromions and the anterior-superior iliac spines of the mat Pilates group (p = 0.036). When compared to the post-intervention period, the mat Pilates method had an improved horizontal alignment of the anterior-superior iliac spines (p = 0.039) and vertical alignment of the acromion head on the right side (p = 0,016). Also, the participants of the Pilates group showed a significant statistical difference in the balance (p = 0.034). The control group had an improved vertical trunk alignment on the left side (p = 0,048). The control group and the mat Pilates method group improved in some aspects, however the mat Pilates method was effective in improving the postural alignment and the balance of breast cancer survivors receiving hormone therapy and may be recommended in oncological rehabilitation as a type of complementary therapy.

The primary purpose of this study is to structure the available evidence relating to physical exercise programs and their impact on patients' cardiovascular system during the convalescence for breast cancer.
Methods
We searched six English databases and four Chinese databases from inception to May 19, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data. They assessed the risk of bias according to the eligibility criteria, and the Cochrane Collaboration RevMan 5.3.0 version software and STATA 15.0 software were used for this meta-analysis. This study has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42021226319).
Results
In total, 3483 articles were screened and data from 11 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 666 breast cancer patients were used in this meta-analysis. The results showed that exercise could decrease systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P = 0.006), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (P = 0.0003), triglycerides (TG) levels (P 0.05).
Conclusions
Physical exercise could improve the cardiovascular system function associated with decreased the levels of SBP, DBP, TG, and increased the levels of VO2peak, VO2max, and HDL-C in breast cancer patients. These findings reveal that exercise may be a promising means for cardiovascular nursing.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272827

This study aimed to examine the effects of reflexology based on Watson's theory of human caring on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in gynecological cancer patients.
Material and methods
The study was a prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest and a control group. The clinical trial was conducted at a university hospital in the Aegean region between October 2016 and June 2018. It was completed with 62 women, of whom 31 were in the intervention group and 31 were in the control group. Data were collected by using a personal information form, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30-version 3.0.
Results
Anxiety and depression levels were lower in the intervention group than in the control group. Besides, the quality of life was higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Reflexology significantly reduced symptoms due to chemotherapy, such as fatigue, pain, insomnia, and loss of appetite. Although there was a decrease in symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation immediately after reflexology, an increase in symptoms was observed in the intervention group two weeks later.
Conclusion
These results showed that reflexology based on Watson's theory of human caring is effective in reduction of anxiety and depression and improves the quality of life in gynecological cancer patients during chemotherapy. It can be suggested that offering reflexology at certain intervals during chemotherapy will increase the duration of its effect.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272828

Patients often seek alternative treatment options, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The paradigms that inform TCM treatments include a philosophy focusing on modifying the whole body status (‘bian zheng’) to treat the lungs. TCM practitioners use personalized treatment plans based on clusters of clinical patterns (eg. cold-related wheezing, kidney insufficiency/energy-deficiency-related wheezing). TCM includes herbal remedies and non-oral therapies such as cupping, acupuncture, and massage. The efficacy of TCM treatments of asthma is not well described as the majority of studies are published only in Chinese literature. We reviewed all available clinical trials in CNKI, Chaoxin, Wanfang, CQVIP, Springer-link, Science Direct, and Pubmed. Papers in Chinese were translated by dual lingual TCM and Western medicine doctors. Based on the identified studies, TCM is a safe additive treatment to Western medicine that can improve both symptoms and quality of life for patients with asthma.

Study conducted from 2014 to 2018 using the MBI-HSS questionnaire assessing three dimensions of burnout: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and personal accomplishment (PA).
Participants
Healthcare providers in particular anesthesiologists participating to a one-year medical hypnosis training program.
Intervention
All participants were asked to fill the MBI-HSS on the first day before the training program had begun, then on the last day of the program once the entire training was completed.
Primary and secondary outcome measures
The EE, DP and PA scores and their grade (high, average and low) were compared before and after training and between physicians and caregivers.
Results
In total, 1850 persons participated to the training sessions, with 1366 participants enrolled before the first session (74%) and 1407 (76%) after the fourth. On the 1366 persons enrolled before training, 1139 (83%) completed the survey and on the 1407 enrolled after training, 1194 (85%) completed the survey. The scores were significantly smaller after training for EE and DP and significantly greater for PA. Before training, EE was significantly greater in physicians than in caregivers as well as DP, with no difference for PA. After training, DP was significantly greater in physicians than in caregivers and PA was smaller, with no difference for EE. Before training, there was high rates of burnout in both healthcare providers but there was a significant trend to smaller rates of burnout after training.
Conclusions
This study shows that healthcare providers who participated to a medical hypnosis training program presented improvements in the three dimensions of burnout. Further study is required to investigate and recommend this type of continuous medical education to improve professional satisfaction and wellbeing in healthcare providers.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272836

Titre : Acute effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises on the postural strategy in patients with chronic low back pain Type de document : Article Auteurs : Tomasz Sipko ; Edmund Glibowski ; Michal Kuczynski Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-7 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101439 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Introduction
Active treatments focused on improvement in motor function are postulated in chronic low back patients (CLBP).
Objective
to establish the acute effects of PNF exercise on the postural control strategy.
Methods
The sway of the body was tested before intervention in fifty-three CLBP patients and after that participants were randomly assigned into the intervention PNF group (n = 25).
Mean velocity (VEL) and sample entropy (SEn), over the center of pressure in the mediolateral (ML) and anterior-posterior (AP) planes served to estimate the postural strategy and automaticity levels in the neuromuscular controller. Tandem and one-leg standing tests (OLST) with eyes open and eyes closed were used.
Results
Pain intensity decreased after the intervention. The VEL was no longer vision-dependent in both planes. The SEn decreased immediately after the exercise and either returned to or even exceeded the baseline values in the OLST ML plane.
Conclusion
A single session of PNF exercise may have a beneficial effect on pain and postural control in CLBP patients. The statistically significant pain relief combined with newly acquired better control of posture may have encouraged the PNF group participants to a subconscious exploration of the stability area. Postural movements were more automatized in OLST in the delayed test.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272839

Yoga is increasingly accepted to improve overall health and wellness and is considered a meaningful adjunct treatment for mental and physical health ailments associated with interpersonal violence (IV). This review provides background information about the use of yoga among individuals with IV histories and aims to inform researchers and practitioners about the available evidence on yoga's application and effectiveness.
Methods
Using six databases, we systematically reviewed empirical literature examining yoga among IV survivors. Criteria for study inclusion: yoga included a physical component and was the primary intervention; participants had an IV history; peer-reviewed; and participants were 17 years and older. After review, 10 articles reporting findings from seven independent samples were included.
Findings
Yoga demonstrated preliminary, positive implications as a complementary treatment for individuals with an IV history. Synthesizing across articles four themes emerged: (1) acceptability and feasibility, (2) enhancement of mental and physical health, (3) promotion of personal growth, and (4) facilitators and barriers to practice.
Conclusions
The nascent literature indicates potential benefits of integrating yoga into interventions for IV survivors to enhance physical and psychological functioning. The primary barriers to intervention were resources (e.g., access) and incompatibility with spiritual beliefs for select clients. Despite consistent barriers, preliminary findings indicate yoga has many positive implications for individuals with an IV history. Given the small evidence base and insufficient methodology, additional empirical research with diverse samples and sites, and robust designs, could improve the state of knowledge and strengthen the efficacy of this promising practice.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272841

Titre : Planting the SEED: A model to describe the functions of music in reminiscence therapy Type de document : Article Auteurs : Romy Engelbrecht ; Sunil Bhar ; Joseph Ciorciari Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-7 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101441 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Music-assisted reminiscence therapy involves the use of music, in any form, to prompt and augment the recollection of autobiographical memories and therapeutic reframing of the meaning of one's life and experiences. The functions of music in reminiscence therapy remains unclear. Drawing on interdisciplinary research in music therapy, psychology, sociology, gerontology, and neuroscience, this paper proposes a theoretical model for understanding the multiple functions of music when used in reminiscence therapy, and describes how music-assisted reminiscence therapy might be used to improve the wellbeing of older people. The SEED model proposes that music, when used together with reminiscence interventions, helps to: 1) summon autobiographical memories; 2) evoke strong emotional reactions; 3) elicit physiological responses; and 4) define identity. Evidence for the four proposed functions of music in reminiscence interventions is presented. The SEED model expands on previous research and theory on music and reminiscence, neural and cognitive processing, and the therapeutic use of music. The SEED model maps the benefits and indicators for the use of music in reminiscence therapy and provides a blueprint for research to test the purported benefits of using music to enhance reminiscence therapy.

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of the fragrance of lemon balm (Melissa Officinalis) essential oil on stress level and hemodynamic parameters in patients with ACS in the emergency department.
Methods
In this double-blind clinical trial, 72 patients were allocated to two groups of Melissa and placebo based on stratified block random sampling. The Melissa group inhaled two drops of Melissa essential oil, whereas the placebo group inhaled two drops of sunflower oil in two aromatherapy phases for 10 min with 90-min intervals. Stress level was measured using the depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS-21), and hemodynamic parameters were measured and recorded in six time points by a cardiac monitoring system. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics and ANOVA statistical tests, Chi-square test, independent t-test, and post-hoc Tukey's test.
Results
Interaction between the time and group indicated the significant decrease in the mean score of stress and heart rate in the time points 2 and 5 (5 min after every occasion of aromatherapy) (p 0.05).
Conclusion
Aromatherapy via the inhalation of Melissa essential oil with temporary impacts on certain time points could relieve stress and regulate hemodynamic changes in patients with ACS in emergent and acute conditions.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272844

Titre : Conscious dance: Perceived benefits and psychological well-being of participants Type de document : Article Auteurs : Kelsey T. Laird ; Ineke Vergeer ; Sarah E. Hennelly ; Prabha Siddarth Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-9 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101440 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Background
Meta-analyses suggest that dance has potential to decrease psychological distress, increase trait mindfulness, and enhance quality of life. Conscious dance can be defined as unchoreographed, intentionally nonevaluative mindful movement commonly practiced in a group setting for purposes of authentic self-expression, self-discovery, interpersonal connectedness, and personal healing or growth.
Objective
To assess perceived effects of conscious dance practice (e.g., Ecstatic Dance, 5Rhythms) and examine associations between frequency/duration of practice and psychological well-being among participants.
Methods
Self-identifying adult conscious dancers completed a survey (N = 1003; mean age = 47 years; 52% from the U.S; 78% White; 73% female).
Results
Conscious dancers with ≥5 years of practice had significantly higher trait mindfulness and life satisfaction compared to newer practitioners. More frequent practice (≥once per week) was associated with higher trait mindfulness. A strong majority of participants endorsed experiences consistent with mindfulness (i.e., feeling “more present in my body”; 99% of the sample) and psychological flow (“I felt like I was ‘in the zone’ or ‘in the flow’ of things”; 93% of the sample) during conscious dance. Among participants endorsing any of five stress-related health conditions, the majority reported therapeutic effects (i.e., that conscious dance “helped them cope” with the condition). Therapeutic effects were most consistently reported by individuals with depression or anxiety (96% endorsement), followed by those with a trauma history (95%), chronic pain (89%), and history of substance abuse or addiction (88%). For all conditions except addiction, therapeutic effects were associated with greater experiences of psychological flow during dance, and the magnitude of these effects was large (Cohen's d range: 1.0–2.3).
Conclusion
Individuals who engage in conscious dance report that these practices help them to cope with stress-related health conditions. Participants reporting longer duration or greater frequency of practice scored higher on measures of psychological well-being. The feasibility and efficacy of conscious dance for improving well-being among individuals naïve to these approaches will be important to determine in future research.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272846

This systematic review evaluated the effects of Tai Chi on health outcomes among community-dwelling adults with or at risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Methods
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched in 10 databases. Data were statistically pooled for meta-analysis.
Results
Twenty RCTs were included. One study involved adults with MetS, and the other 19 studies involved adults with at least one risk factor for MetS. Tai Chi was found to reduce waist circumference and increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in obese adults. Tai Chi also reduces waist circumference, body mass index, blood glucose level, insulin resistance, and increases the quality of life (QoL) in adults with elevated blood glucose/type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Among participants with hypertension, Tai Chi improves blood pressure, lipid profiles, anxiety, depression, and physical QoL.
Conclusions
Tai Chi may be effective for enhancing the physiological and psychosocial wellbeing of community-dwelling adults at risk of MetS. Further RCTs are needed to examine its effects in adults with MetS and identify optimal regimes.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272848

Kefir beverage has numerous health benefits owing to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti‐diabetic properties, while it could also regulate the gut microbiota. This beverage is recommended as a nutritional approach to glycemic control. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to evaluate the effects of kefir beverage on the glycemic control. For this purpose, a literature search was conducted via databases such as PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and Google Scholar for the articles published until July 2020 with no limitation. The indicators of glycemic control were fasting blood sugar (FBS), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and insulin. In total, six RCTs on a total sample size of 323 subjects were selected for the meta-analysis. Inverse-variance weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated for the mean changes in HbA1c, FBG and insulin compared to baseline. Considering the clinical heterogeneity caused by the varied duration and dosage of kefir beverage treatment, a random effects model was used to estimate the pooled WMD. Findings indicated a more significant reduction in the FBS (WMD = −10.28; 95% CI: −16.53–4.02; P = 0.001) and insulin (WMD = −2.87; 95% CI: −3.96–1.78; P Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=272854

107 patients who participated in a study assessing the possible effects of vitamin D and selenium on radiation-induced skin toxicity completed the CAM-PRIO (Working Group for Prevention and Integrative Oncology of the German Cancer Society) questionnaire during and after radiotherapy. The results were compared.
Results
Overall, 79.8% of the patients used at least one CAM method. Supplementation with vitamin D (49.4%) and selenium (28.7%) and prayer (37.1%) were the methods most used. After completing radiotherapy, many patients started using selenium, vitamin D, relaxation techniques, and yoga to a greater extent. Prior chemotherapy or concurrent endocrine treatments were not associated with the changes in CAM use.
Conclusion
CAM use is mainly reported to be a static phenomenon. However, this study shows that this is not the case and that after the end of radiotherapy patients started using new CAM methods or increased the number of methods used.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268665

To evaluate the effects of two manual treatment methods on pain, disability, and pressure pain threshold (PPT) in tension-type headache (TTH) patients with and neck pain.
Methods
Forty-five patients with TTH were randomly assigned to one of three groups and received eight sessions treatment: manipulation plus exercise (manipulation), suboccipital inhibition plus exercise (myofascial release), and exercise only (control). Headache frequency, pain severity (VAS-headache, VAS-neck pain) and headache and neck disability (HIT-6 and NDI, respectively) were measured at baseline, posttreatment, and at the third month follow-up. PPT was also evaluated on the temporalis muscle.
Results
Manipulation group was statistically better than myofascial release group in terms of headache frequency, headache severity, and PPT scores. Also, manipulation group showed statistically significant improvements in all outcome criteria when compared control group.
Conclusions
Manipulation and exercise, in addition to pharmacologic treatment in TTH patients with cervical dysfunction appear to be a promising approach.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268666

This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of green tea extract (GTE) intake on clinical and neurophysiological parameters in patients with mild-to-moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
Patients and methods
The present study included 194 patients with DPN. Patients were randomized into two treatment arms: GTE (n = 96) and placebo (n = 98) arms who received allocated treatment for 16 weeks. Symptoms of DPN were assessed using Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS). Sensorineural pain was assessed using visual analog scale (VAS). Neural dysfunction was evaluated using the vibration perception thresholds (VPT). Assessments were made at baseline and after 4, 8, and 16 weeks of starting treatment.
Results
At baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment, VAS, TCSS and VPT were comparable in the studied groups. However, after 8 weeks of treatment, patients in GTE group expressed lower VAS scores, significantly lower TCSS scores and significantly lower VPT. As treatment continued, the differences between groups regarding the outcome parameters became more evident at 16 weeks.
Conclusions
GTE intake may have a beneficial value in treatment of DPN.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268670

Pain during PB was significantly decreased by the addition of intracapsular lidocaine anesthesia. However, PB is invasive procedure and can be a distressing experience for patients. In the last decade numerous environmental, technological and pharmacological factors have been utilized to reduce anxiety and pain associated with urological procedures. Music is increasingly recognized as a cheap and effective means for relieving anxiety and pain during a variety of surgical and endoscopic procedures. However, it may be difficult to clarify if music has a real impact on pain. In light of these considerations, the aim of this mini-review is to present the use of music on anxiety and pain during prostate biopsy in ambulatory care setting, and to suggest the most appropriate and effective standards that could be useful for practicing urologists.

PI incidence correlates with the increase of the aging population. In this situation, it is crucial to select effective and affordable drugs for patients and healthcare systems. Herein, we report a case of a 94-year-old female with a stage 2 PI wound, which was treated topically using a novel combination of mixed powders: metronidazole and nano pearl powders. Metronidazole is the preferred option to treat infected wounds due to its excellent antibacterial ability. However, some drawbacks have limited the use of metronidazole in PI wound management, such as its poor capacity to accelerate wound closure. Pearl powder has a strong capacity to promote wound healing and closure but has not been effective at resisting wound infection. To take advantage of powdered drugs' wound treatment properties and accelerate PI wound healing, we prepared powdered mixtures for wound application. Both drugs are cost-effective and were beneficial to wound healing. Therefore, the combination of metronidazole and pearl powders offer a promising choice to patients with PI wounds.

and purpose: Postoperative pain in the pterygium of the eye seriously affects patient recovery. This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of auricular point acupressure treatment on post-operative recovery in patients after pterygium surgery.
Materials and methods
This was a pilot, randomized controlled study. A total of 60 patients (60 eyes) were randomly assigned to two groups. After pterygium surgery, the auricular group was treated using ear acupressure (acupressure points with Cowherb seeds) and the control group was treated using sham auricular therapy (acupressure points without Cowherb seeds). Both groups were treated for one week. Outcome measures included pain score, corneal epithelial score, best-corrected visual acuity, and recurrence rate.
Results
Fifty-three patients completed the study. The mean pain scores and corneal epithelial scores were significantly reduced over time in the auricular group compared with those in the control group (p 0.05).
Conclusion
Auricular point acupressure accelerates corneal epithelium reconstruction and suppresses postoperative pain, making it an ideal adjunct treatment for postoperative pterygium recovery.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268715

The changes in pre- and post-treatment measurements for each outcome measure was analyzed through analysis of variance (ANOVA) post hoc multiple comparison test, which found no statistically significant difference between any of the groups. The p-value for the comparison of Reiki and sham groups for heart rate was 0.053, which is very close to being significant and so, a definitive conclusion can not be made based on this pilot study alone. A second study with a larger sample size is warranted to investigate this finding further and perhaps with additional outcome measures to look at other possible physiological mechanisms that may underlie the therapeutic effects of Reiki.

This study explores the perspectives of expectant parents on the influence of a single antenatal class incorporating education on childbirth physiology and relaxation techniques.
Method
The data for this qualitative descriptive study were collected via in-depth interviews with six women and three birth partners.
Findings
An enhanced understanding of childbirth physiology formed a ‘different way of thinking’ about childbirth, ‘inspired and motivated’ the exertion of the learnt relaxation techniques which led to a ‘deep sense of calmness’ associated with increased confidence and reduced fear. However, reaching such sense of calmness during childbirth required a ‘space for relaxation’ which was influenced by birth attendants. An overarching theme of ‘a positive outlook’ towards childbirth was identified.
Conclusion
Including education on childbirth physiology and a range of relaxation techniques may reduce fear, empower prospective parents and positively influence their experiences of pregnancy and childbirth.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268720

Total knee replacement is the most effective intervention for late-stage osteoarthritis; however, a major concern is postoperative recovery of physical function. This randomised controlled trial evaluated the effects of acupuncture with low-level laser therapy (ALLLT) on early outcomes of physical function after total knee replacement.
Materials and methods
Eighty-two osteoarthritis patients were recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental group receiving ALLLT or the control group receiving sham ALLLT without laser beam output. Physical function was evaluated by assessing knee joint flexion and stiffness on days 1, 2, and 3 after total knee replacement.
Results
Generalised estimating equations revealed a significant difference between the two groups in joint flexion. The experimental group displayed better joint flexion and less stiffness on days 2 and 3 than did the control group.
Conclusion
ALLLT can facilitate the recovery of physical function, as evidenced by knee joint flexion and stiffness, in patients receiving total knee replacement.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268721

and Purpose: Breast pain is a common condition presented at breast care clinics and bras are often recommended to reduce symptoms, although criteria and pathways for obtaining appropriate bras are limited. This multi-study, randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed to establish criteria and performance variables to prescribe bras for breast pain patients, to implement this bra prescription, and evaluate whether, compared to standard care alone, the bra prescription improves breast pain and quality of life (QoL).
Materials and methods
Eighteen breast pain patients from a UK hospital were assigned to standard care or bra prescription groups and completed the study. Bra prescription patients were prescribed a bra to wear every day for eight weeks. Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), breast pain intensity, QoL, and adherence were assessed.
Results
Between-groups there were no differences in baseline breast pain or QoL and no differences in PGIC or breast pain following the intervention. Within-groups, improvements in QoL within bra prescription patients were identified.

Animal assisted interventions (AAI) have been used in different contexts including oncology/palliative care and can improve mood, quality of life and wellness. The goal of this review was to evaluate studies about AAI and its effects on oncological/palliative care patients.
Methods
The search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus and Lilacs databases. The inclusion criteria were original articles that measured quantitatively the health-related outcomes of an AAI on oncological/palliative care patients.
Results
Ten studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Benefits related to the AAI were described. Mood, pain perception and quality of life seemed to be the variables that had improvement with the intervention. Due to the small sample sizes/heterogeneous methodologies, additional analyses could not be performed.
Conclusions
AAI can be an important tool for improving psychosocial/physiological parameters in cancer/palliative care patients.

This paper summarizes the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspectives, biomedical findings, and TCM managements for EH-SF52 in modern times. EH-SF52 is generally identified as an EH individual presenting with headache, dizziness, poor sleep quality, tinnitus, facial flushing, fatigue, signs of mild dehydration, and whom are highly irritable individuals with a tendency to overthink, be competitive, or be aggressive. The proposed EH-SF52 model features a state of autonomic imbalance and vascular changes that accounts for the above symptoms. TCM managements for EH-SF52 includes Chinese herbal medication, acupuncture, qigong, taichi, massage, food therapy, as well as lifestyle changes, which targets symptomatic alleviation and blood pressure reduction in a multi-mechanistic manner. An increasing shift towards integrated practice of TCM and western medicine in EH-SF52 requires effective communication between both disciplines.

Recurrence is a major obstacle to improve the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been routinely used as an adjuvant therapy in treating HCC, but efficacy of TACE in preventing the recurrence of HCC remains unsatisfactory. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of a traditional herbal medicine (THM) therapy and TACE in preventing tumor recurrence and improving survival in postsurgical patients with HCC.
Materials and methods
A total of 1506 HCC patients were enrolled from January 2008 to June 2017, including 262 patients who received THM therapy and 1244 patients who were treated with TACE. All patients were followed up until the occurrence of outcome event or June 30th, 2019. The recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the differences of RFS and OS between THM group and TACE group were analyzed by the log-rank test. Factors affecting the RFS or OS among these patients were assessed by the Cox proportional hazard regression model. A nomogram was built with the factors based on the Cox regression analysis to predict the prognosis.
Results
The 1-, 3-, and 5-year RFS were 91.0%, 68.3%, and 49.7%, respectively, in the THM group and 79.4%, 38.6%, and 19.3%, respectively, in the TACE group. The RFS in the THM group was significantly higher than that of the TACE group (P = 6.2 × 10−11). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS were significantly improved in the THM group as compared to those in the TACE group (94.3%, 65.2%, and 41.4% vs. 82.7%, 46.0%, and 25.4%, P = 2.2 × 10−11). Multivariate analysis revealed that serum AFP level ≥400 ng/mL, HBV DNA load ≥500 copies/mL, TNM stage III-IV, tumor diameter ≥5 cm, presence of MVI, and multiple tumor nodules were independent risk factors for RFS, while complete tumor encapsulation and THM therapy were protective factors for RFS and OS. The nomogram demonstrated good accuracy in predicting RFS and OS, with the adjusted C-index of 0.748 and 0.796, respectively.
Conclusion
The efficacy of THM therapy was superior to that of TACE in preventing recurrence and improving survival for HCC patients after hepatectomy.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268737

Mills Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : 101357 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101357 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Background
Limitations of traditional medicine and rising interest in complementary medicine call for a closer look at the potential relevance of manual medicine, specifically osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in children.
Objective
To conduct a retrospective observational pilot study of babies who received OMT in the newborn nursery compared to those who did not, by quantifying their outpatient health issues in the first 6 months of life, and to determine the feasibility of further definitive randomized controlled trials of a similar nature.
Design
Retrospective chart review of the first 6 months of life from pediatric clinic records of 58 case-matched pairs of children, half of whom received OMT as part of their routine newborn care by virtue of their physician “call” assignment to the author. The sample from which the case-matched control group was chosen were babies who had received routine allopathic newborn care without OMT. Both groups received their pediatric care in the same academic ambulatory clinic and received no further OMT.
Methods
Outpatient paper chart review consisted of tabulation by points of the following variables: mention of spitting/vomiting, gassiness, food intolerance, irritability/sleeplessness, colic suggested or diagnosed, episodes of otitis media, frequency of antibiotics given, frequency of upper respiratory infections, frequency of lower respiratory problems, diarrhea, and rashes, separated by month of visit in which the variable was reported.
Results
Exploratory analysis by Pearson Chi-square yielded a few statistically significant differences between the 2 groups, in favor of the OMT-treated group, including Month 2 food intolerance (Χ21 = 4.14, P = .04), Month 3 colic suggested (Χ21 = 4.14, P = .04), Month 5 spitting/vomiting (Χ21 = 8.59, P = .003), and Month 5 antibiotic usage (Χ21 = 6.33, P = .012).
Conclusions
Findings point to the need for further research in this area based on the suggestion that OMT given to a newborn can positively affect that baby's short-term and quite possibly long-term health, specifically related to GI complaints and irritability. Other studies would benefit from a variety of methodologic changes, including correlation of timing of administration of OMT with possible symptoms and changes in those symptoms over longer periods of observation, as well as correlation of anatomic osteopathic findings with specific symptoms.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268738

Titre : Effect of rose oil on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in comparison with omeprazole: A double-blind controlled trial Type de document : Article Auteurs : Mohammad Sadegh Adel Mehraban ; Meysam Shirzad ; Mohammad Mahdi Ahmadian-Attari ; [et al.] Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : 101361 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101361 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Background and objective
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as one of the most common ailments of gastrointestinal system diminishes quality of life and impairs physical functioning and work productivity. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as omeprazole play a more dominant role in amelioration of GERD symptoms; nonetheless, there is a growing concern about their side effects. According to traditional Persian medicine (TPM), the use of rose oil is recommended to alleviate GERD symptoms.
Materials and methods
Therefore, a randomized double-blind controlled trial was performed on 70 subjects who were randomly enrolled in two groups and received either rose oil softgel or omeprazole capsule combined with the placebo. Data were collected within 3 sessions of visit using the Mayo-gastroesophageal reflux questionnaire (GERQ).
Results
Although, our findings showed that reflux symptoms were decreased in both groups after receiving medicine and the decrement was significant in treatment group, before and after the intervention, this decrease was not significant between two groups.
Conclusion
Given that the rose oil used in this study was produced according to the Iranian method and effective ingredients of Rosa damascena were preserved in sesame oil in production process, it seems that effectiveness of this product can be due to its tonic and enlivening properties. Consumption of rose oil soft capsule alleviates cardinal GERD symptoms similar to omeprazole. It seems that rose oil can have the same effects as PPIs in treatment of GERD but with no side effects due to its different mechanisms of action.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268743

Titre : Why do chronic illness patients decide to use complementary and alternative medicine? A qualitative study Type de document : Article Auteurs : Anwesa Chatterjee Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : 101363 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101363 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Background and purpose
A substantial proportion of European and American people now use healthcare options known as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). This study aimed to understand the processes and decisional pathways through which chronic illness patients choose treatments outside of regular allopathic medicine.
Materials and methods
This qualitative study used Charmaz's constructivist grounded theory methods to collect and analyze data. Using theoretical sampling, 21 individuals suffering from chronic illness and who had used CAM treatment participated in face-to-face in-depth interviews conducted in Miami/USA.
Results
Seven overarching themes emerged from the data to describe how and why people with chronic illness choose CAM treatments. These themes included 1) influences, 2) desperation, 3) being averse to allopathic medicine and allopathic medical practice, 4) curiosity and chance, 5) ease of access, 6) institutional help, and 7) trial and error.
Conclusion
In selecting treatment options that include CAM, individuals draw on their social, economic, and biographical situations. Though exploratory, this study sheds light on some of the less examined reasons for CAM use.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268744

Minimal evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use during chemotherapy is accompanied with a high prevalence of use and nondisclosure to health professionals. This study aimed to explore patients’ perspectives, experiences, support needs, and sources of information regarding CAM use during chemotherapy.
Materials and methods
Semi-structured interviews with ten adult participants who recently completed chemotherapy treatment at a large hospital in Australia were transcribed verbatim. Three investigators thematically analysed the interviews.
Results
These participants receiving chemotherapy valued CAMs as a natural complement to chemotherapy to improve wellbeing, with their use most strongly influenced by past experiences rather than expert advice.
Conclusion
Health professionals would benefit from education on how to best inform patients of the potential risks, harms and lack of efficacy for CAM use during chemotherapy in a way that does not lead to patient non-disclosure of CAM use.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=268747

A two-arm randomized clinical trial with 31 individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, who were allocated to the binary group or quaternary group. Both groups underwent a 12-week intervention. The following variables were analyzed: personal and clinical information; MoCA; UPDRSI and II; PDQ-39. Both intervention groups improved cognition, mental activity, activities of daily living, and quality of life. In addition, there were intergroup differences in total UPDRSII, writing, and hygiene where the quaternary group was superior to the binary group. It concludes that the binary and quaternary rhythm positively influenced and presented similar effects on the complementary treatment of individuals with Parkinson's disease on the studied variables.

Titre : Complementary and alternative medicine use in children with asthma Type de document : Article Auteurs : Yasin Yildiz ; Ayten Yilmaz Yavuz Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : 101353 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101353 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Objective
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is increasingly used in the treatment of asthma in children. In the studies conducted, it was stated that there was a standardization problem in CAM methods. Moreover, this situation raises the question of “Which is the most widely used CAM method?” in asthma treatment. This study aimed to determine the use of CAM methods in children who are followed up with the diagnosis of asthma.
Material and methods
The patients aged 4–10 years who were diagnosed with asthma by a physician in the past and who admitted to the Child Health and Diseases Polyclinic of a hospital issuing tertiary health service in Turkey were included in the study. The demographic data of patients and CAM methods used were examined.
Results
The median age of a total of 164 asthmatic children included in the study was 6.3 (4–10) years, and 58.3% of them were observed to be male. The median time to diagnosis of the patients was 2.0 (1; 105) months, mostly having multiple cough attacks per day (33.1%), and the rate of children with cough attacks at least once a month to awaken from sleep at night was 47.6%. Honey (36.6%) was found to be one of the most preferred biological-based therapies for families and was followed by molasses (16.9%), which were derived from herbal and natural products.
Conclusions
There are varying rates of CAM use in asthmatic children all over the world, and it was found that honey was used the most in our study. Atopy can be found in the etiology of asthmatic patients. Therefore, it should not be forgotten that using different CAM methods at the same time may pose a risk.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=269035

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of acupoint autohemotherapy（AA）.
Methods
We collected Controlled Trials that are random of AA plus medicine of the west therapy vs western medicine therapy alone in treating COPD from PubMed, the Cochrane library, EMBASE, CNKI, CBM SinoMed, China Science, and Wanfang Data from database inception to July 1, 2019. Meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3.
Results
This meta-analysis identified that the combined treatment could enhance the total effective clinical rate, the forced expiratory volume in 1 s（FEV1）and forced vital capacity（FVC），increase the 6-min walking distance，and improve the self-assessment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease score（CAT）.
Conclusion
The clinical effects of AA plus medicine of the west therapy are better than that of western medicine alone in treating COPD. However, due to the small number and poor quality of the included RCTs，this conclusion needs to be verified with larger samples and higher quality RCTs.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=269038

This paper aims to assess diet and lifestyle by designing a healthy behavior index (HBI) related to the educational level and time of breast cancer (BC) diagnosis.
Methods
241 female breast cancer survivors treated at Centro Estatal de Cancerología (State Cancer Center) in Mexico were assessed based on dietary pattern, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, body size and shape, sleep disorders with increasing scores that represent less healthy characteristics. The odds ratios (OR) and quartiles of the healthy behavior index and the time of diagnosis were estimated. The regression model was used to assess the association between HBI and the BC covariates.
Results
The healthy behavior index for the two first quartiles was that of p
Conclusion
In breast cancer survivors, both the high level of education and early clinical stages were important healthy behavior modifiers.

and purpose: Acupoint therapy is suggested as a potential intervention for treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This review assessed current evidence for the effect of acupoint therapy on NAFLD.
Methods
Eight electronic databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of patients with NAFLD treated by acupoint therapy from their inception to August 2020. A meta-analysis of outcomes was conducted by RevMan 5.3.
Results
Sixteen RCTs with 1320 patients were included. Acupoint therapy was significantly associated with improvements in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. Additionally, acupoint therapy significantly reduced triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were also increased in NAFLD patients.
Conclusion
Compared with other treatments, acupoint therapy may improve liver function and lipid metabolism, making it an available treatment for NAFLD.

Acupuncture has been widely used to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in China as a complementary and alternative therapy. This study aims to summarize the characteristics and evaluate the methodology quality of the systematic reviews (SRs) regarding acupuncture for DPN.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was performed from inception to February 2020. We assessed the methodological quality of the included SRs with the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2) tool, adopted the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist to evaluate the reporting characteristics of included SRs, and utilized the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to evaluate the quality of evidence for outcomes including total effective rate, sensory nerve conduction velocity, motor nerve conduction velocity and adverse events. One-way analysis of variance and multiple linear regression were conducted to evaluate the associations between characteristics and two index scores (PRISMA and AMSTAR 2).
Results
Eighteen SRs were included in this overview. The methodology quality of the included SRs ranged from very low to high. Only protocol registration and funding source reported were associated with the AMSTAR 2 index scores, while no variable showed significant difference in the PRISMA scores. The overall quality of evidence in included SRs ranged from “very low” to “moderate”.
Conclusion
This overview suggested beneficial effects of acupuncture on DPN, whereas the results should be interpreted with cautious owing to methodology flaws, providing reference for further improvement of the study design.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1744388121000748#!https:/ [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=269092
