Titre : A qualitative exploration of the norms and intentions of nurses toward the clinical use of herbal medicine in Ghana Type de document : Article Auteurs : Comfort Asare ; Lydia Aziato ; Daniel Boamah Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-6 Note générale : https://doi-org.ezproxy.vinci.be/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101388 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Purpose
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

The interest in CAM among cancer patients is constantly growing and about 50% already used CAM alongside cancer therapy. Little is known on the factors influencing patients' choice of type of CAM used.
Methods
A questionnaire consisting of two validated instruments (the ASKU (Allgemeine Selbstwirksamkeit Kurzskala), the PAM 13-D (Patient Activation Measure) and the structured AKKOM questionnaire on CAM usage was distributed at a German university hospital.
Results
639 patients (male 32.9%, female 63.2%; gynecological cancer 41%, gastrointestinal 19.2%, urogenital 15.6%) took part. 60% had used CAM in the last 3 months (biological 73%, holistic 63%, mind-body-methods 62%).

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

Titre : Acupuncture treatment for post-stroke insomnia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials Type de document : Article Auteurs : Jialei Yang Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-9 Note générale : https://doi-org.ezproxy.vinci.be/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101396 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Objectives
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

Titre : A qualitative investigation of activity measurement and change following a mind-body activity program for chronic pain Type de document : Article Auteurs : Paula J. Popok ; Jonathan Greenberg ; Melissa V. Gates ; Ana-Maria Vranceanu Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-8 Note générale : https://doi-org.ezproxy.vinci.be/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101410 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Increasing activity is important yet challenging among people with chronic pain. 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

Titre : Adjunctive homeopathic treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients (COVIHOM): A retrospective case series Type de document : Article Auteurs : Michael Takacs ; Michael Frass ; Gernot Walder ; [et al.] Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 1-11 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101415 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Background
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

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

Titre : Can the sleep quality of patients with chronic neck pain be improved by muscle energy techniques combined with Swedish massage? 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.

To determine whether the participation to a medical hypnosis training program reduces the levels of burnout in healthcare providers.
Design
Survey study.
Settings
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

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

and purpose: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is frequently used among cancer patients. It is unclear whether and how far patients adapt CAM to the treatment situation. The objective is to assess the changes of CAM use between radiotherapy for breast cancer and the follow-up.
Materials and methods
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

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.

Use of CAT has increased in the past decade. However, it is unclear if this has impacted nursing practice. The purpose of this study was to explore CAT use and beliefs of academic and clinical nurses.
Materials and methods
A cross-sectional design using an electronic survey was sent to 1000 clinical and academic nurses in the US.
Results
Academic and clinical nurses were more alike than different, and of the contextual factors that impacted CAT use, lack of knowledge was most cited. Faculty were most likely to teach that which they were knowledgeable about and nurses were most likely to use what was taught in school.
Conclusions
There is a need for a standardized CAT curriculum for schools of nursing in the US to facilitate knowledge and use of CAT, but to also train nurse scientists who can develop the clinical research needed to support practice decisions.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=268708

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

Reiki has been shown to reduce stress, pain levels, help with depression/anxiety, increase relaxation, improve fatigue, and quality of life. In this pilot randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled study, the effects of Reiki on heart rate, diastolic and systolic blood pressure, body temperature, and stress levels were explored in an effort to gain objective outcome measures and to understand the underlying physiological mechanisms of how Reiki may be having these therapeutic effects on subjective measures of stress, pain, relaxation, and depression/anxiety. Forty eight (n = 48) subjects were block randomized into three groups (Reiki treatment, sham treatment, and no treatment). 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

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.

Although Thai Yoga (TY) is reported to improve health-related fitness for the elderly, no study has yet carried out the effect of TY Program on physical mobility and lower-limb muscle strength in overweight/obese older women.
Materials and methods
In a randomized controlled pilot design, twenty-two sedentary women with a BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2, aged 62 ± 1 years were randomly assigned to either a TY group for 60 min, 3 times a week or to a “no exercise” control (CON) group. Sit and reach (SRT), functional reach (FRT) and 30-s chair stand (CST-30), 8-foot up and go (8UGT), 6-min walk (6MWT)) and lower-limb muscle strength were measured at the beginning, 4, and 8 weeks.
Results
At week 4, a significant between groups was obtained in CST-30, 8UGT, and 6MWT. At week 8, FRT, 8UGT, 6MWT and knee flexor and extensor muscle strength were improved in the TY over the CON. Significant improvement was found in all variables within the TY, but no change was observed in the CON.
Conclusion
An 8-week TY program appears to provide beneficial improvements in physical mobility in overweight/obese older women.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=268726

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

Titre : The use of osteopathic manipulative treatment in the newborn nursery and its effect on health in the first six months of life: A retrospective observational case-control study Type de document : Article Auteurs : Miriam V. 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

Tension-type headache (TTH) is one of the most common primary headache diseases in the world and has a serious negative impact on the physical and mental health of patients. Tuina is now widely used to treat tension-type headaches. This article aims to systematically review the evidence about the effectiveness of Tuina on the effectiveness rate, pain intensity, and impact of headache in individuals with TTH.
Methods
Eight databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Tuina were included in treatments for TTH. Cochrane Collaboration's tool was applied to evaluate the quality of the studies. Confidence in the effect estimates was determined with the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool. We use the software STATA 12.0 for meta-analysis and TSA software for test sequence analysis.
Results
Seven studies were included with a total sample of 1228 individuals. Meta-analysis results showed that Tuina was superior to drugs for improving the effectiveness rate (RR = 1.49, 95%CI: 1.25 to 1.77, p

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

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

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.

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

Traumatic psychological events are thought to alter brain physiology, notably regions such as the thalamus and the limbic system, affecting personal choice, autonomy, and behavior. Innovative therapies are needed to address the diverse, mental and physical consequences of these changes. Trauma Center–Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TC-TSY) has shown promising results in clinical trials among individuals experiencing posttraumatic symptomatology.
Materials and methods
Using a qualitative, descriptive design, we examined the impact of TC-TSY training on the professional practice of seven practitioners who were certified yoga instructors and/or registered psychologists.
Results
The findings suggest TC-TSY training enriched their practices, chiefly through its choice-based, widely applicable approach; invitation- and mindfulness-based language; and building of therapeutic trust and attunement. Some participants questioned the accessibility and suitability of the training, as well as the rigidity of TC-TSY terminology.
Conclusion
More research is needed to examine potential outcomes of TC-TSY practice related to self-efficacy, coping, quality of life, and stress reduction among traumatized individuals.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=269093

The benefits of written expressive disclosure (WED) to health are documented in a variety of healthy and clinical populations. This study investigates the effect of WED on health-related outcomes in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Methods
Adults (N = 189) meeting Rome III criteria for IBS were randomly assigned to write about their: (1) deepest thoughts and feelings about the most stressful life event of the past five years (n = 67), (2) deepest thoughts and feelings about their IBS (n = 61) or (3) daily activities in an objective manner (control condition; n = 61). Participants completed four 20-min writing sessions over 2–6 weeks. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, healthcare utilization, health-related quality of life (HR-QOL), pain catastrophizing, and pain self-efficacy were assessed at baseline, one month post-writing completion, and three months post-writing completion.
Results
A significant group (combined WED vs. control) X time interaction was detected for healthcare utilization, F(1,147) = 6.16, p = 0.014, η2 = 0.04. Specifically, number of GI-related medical appointments significantly increased from baseline to 3-month follow-up in the control group, while no significant change was observed in the combined WED group. Among the WED group, individuals assigned to write about their IBS experienced greater improvements in pain self-efficacy than those assigned to write about a life stressor, F(1,92) = 3.89, p = 0.024, η2 = 0.08. GI symptom severity, HR-QOL, and pain catastrophizing improved significantly across groups over time, with no significant between-group differences.
Conclusion
Writing about one's deepest thoughts and feelings about IBS may increase pain self-efficacy and reduce healthcare utilization compared to control writing in adults with IBS.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=269094

Titre : A feasibility trial of acupuncture in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment Type de document : Article Auteurs : John Hughes ; Kylie Gyertson ; Lallita Carballo ; [et al.] Année de publication : 2021 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Objective
We conducted a feasibility trial of acupuncture in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment. The trial included training radiographers to deliver acupuncture within patients’ routine NHS care.
Methods
Mixed methods pragmatic randomized parallel-group exploratory feasibility trial comparing standard care to standard care plus acupuncture.
Results
Most aspects of the research design and acupuncture intervention were acceptable to the 101 participants. Participants’ valued the opportunity to receive acupuncture within their NHS care, perceived the treatment as eliciting a number of beneficial effects, and had a positive impact on their NHS cancer treatment. However, quantitative analysis of outcome measure data revealed no consistent significant differences between those receiving standard care and those receiving standard care plus acupuncture.
Conclusion
It is feasible to implement acupuncture in a busy radiotherapy unit provided by specially trained radiographers. The methodology employed appears acceptable for the evaluation of acupuncture for radiotherapy 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=269101

Hypnosis in labour and childbirth is a complex intervention. Both qualitative and quantitative assessment methods have been used, but have targeted different outcomes. We followed a synergistic approach and a reconciliation strategy to further understand and evaluate this intervention.
Methods
A mixed-method analysis of quantitative and qualitative evidence was conducted. The assessment of efficacy was based on a recent Cochrane review (9 trials, 2954 women randomised). Four qualitative studies and 4 case studies were included.
Results
The outcomes addressed by the qualitative studies (mostly concerning maternal experiences) and in the quantitative studies (mostly concerning analgesic use) overlapped slightly. Discrepancies across results from the two study types suggested that response shift issues could occur.
Conclusion
Patient-centred instruments exploring response shift issues would be of great value. Hypnosis can be presented as a technique enabling patients to have a positive birth experience.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=269102

Gagging condition is among factors contributing to avoidance behavior to seek the dental treatment, and rigorous management is still under investigation. This study aims to explore the effect of listening to the self-preference music in reducing the gagging condition during dental impression procedure towards gagging patient. Physiology and psychological impact to the procedure with and without musical intervention are investigated.
Method and material
A group of twenty-five patients that will undergo impression procedure was randomly selected. Self-reported Gagging Problem Assessment (GPA-pa-SF) questionnaires was then administered to determine the severity of gagging. Maxillary impression was taken twice within the same patient in two different time intervals (1st without any intervention and 2nd with musical intervention). During both procedures, the pulse rate/minutes (BPM) and arterial oxygen saturation of haemoglobin (SpO2%) were recorded and psychometric assessment was evaluated through the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14).
Result
Mean value of BPM was significantly reduced with music (p
Conclusion
Listening to self-preference music during impression taking had improved physiology and psychology of gagging patients thus, can be attributed to the better dental management.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=269103

The objective of the present trial was to investigate the efficiency of the traditionally used 5% of pomegranate peel extract in treating gingival inflammation. Herein, 34 chronic gingivitis patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio for four weeks in a controlled, double-blind clinical trial to evaluate the effect of the adjunctive use of a pulsating jet irrigator containing 5% pomegranate peel extract solution to nonsurgical periodontal therapy against a placebo in managing these patients' condition. No adverse reactions had been reported, and within the limits of this study, it may be concluded that pomegranate peel extract can serve as a promising alternative in managing chronic gingivitis.

This paper aims to review articles that have evaluated the role of essential oil therapy in patients with rheumatic diseases.
Methodology
Systematic review. No study design or language limitation was applied.
Results
We have identified 13 articles, most of them were used in osteoarthritis (n = 4), rheumatoid arthritis (n = 3) and fibromyalgia (n = 3). Two studies included patients with RA and OA (n = 2). The number of people involved in the study varied from 9 to 162, where female sex was observed in 60–100%. The age of the patients ranged from 36 to 78.3 years old and disease duration 1–11.67 years. The lavender essential oil was the most used, and then Ginger oil, Rosemary oil, and Rosmarinus officinalis. Time of oil use varied from 2 to 12 weeks. Importantly, all studies but one (91.6%) have demonstrated the efficacy of aromatherapy.
Conclusion
There are few reports on essential oils in rheumatic disease, mainly osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia.

The purpose of this study was to assess physical therapist's beliefs, practice patterns, and barriers of incorporation of mindfulness meditation into the management of individuals with chronic dizziness.
Methods
An electronic survey was sent to physical therapists with experience treating individuals with dizziness and vestibular disorders. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis were conducted.
Results
The majority of respondents agree that anxiety limits functional and participation outcomes with individuals with chronic dizziness and adoption of a mindfulness meditation practice could be helpful to address this. However, a much smaller percentage of respondents reported currently using these techniques a majority of time during their clinical practice.
Conclusion
Barriers exist that prevent the widespread implementation of meditation and mindfulness in physical therapy practice. Potential limiting factors highlight that further research is needed to explore these barriers and evaluate the outcomes of patients with chronic dizziness when meditation is applied in 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=269106

Although there are many clinical reports on the use of pro/synbiotics and other microbial preparations to prevent postoperative infections and related complications in patients with Colorectal cancer (CRC), their effectiveness remains divided. Therefore, we collected relevant high-quality randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies and conducted systematic review and meta-analysis. We electronically searched online databases (the PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Allied and Alternative Medieine (AMED), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and Weipu) for literature published until December 2020. These reports were rigorously screened, and the data extracted, assessed for risk of bias (ROB), and subjected to meta-analysis and subgroup analysis.

This study explored why the integration of traditional medicines with the biomedical healthcare system in Qokolweni in Eastern Cape, South Africa was stalling. The research employed qualitative research methods; participant observation and in-depth ethnographic interviews of community members, traditional healers, and nurses. The study found that: traditional medicines are widely used in Qokolweni due to accessibility and long-built trust; the practice is broad and not certified. To achieve the integration of traditional medicine into the conventional health systems, the central government needs to show political will by setting up regulatory strategies that provide for the scientific evaluation and certification of traditional medicines. This will build confidence among biomedical scientists and health practitioners, thereby fostering easy collaboration and integration.

Autogestion ; Infertilité féminine ; Soudan ; Thérapies complémentairesRésumé : Introduction
It is not surprising in developing countries with psychological, familial and community pressure to produce child, infertile women, in addition to conventional medicine, seek various traditional methods and religious practices.This study was conducted in Sudan to explore the perspectives of currently married infertile Sudanese women on complementary medicine seeking behaviour with more emphasis on traditional self-management strategies.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey involving 203 infertile women was conducted. Collection of data was performed by means of a specifically designed questionnaire using a convenient sampling method at the women's visits of infertility treatment clinics in Khartoum, Sudan.
Results
Findings of the study revealed that 43.3% of participated women had rich experience with infertility self-management strategies, and 65.0% of them used these strategies to treat infertility. Also 59.1% of the participants mentioned unaffordability of modern treatment as a main factor for trying self-management strategies.
Conclusion
The study revealed women's rich experience and wide use of different types of self-management strategies together with formal infertility health care services either simultaneously or subsequently. Also, unaffordability of formal treatment services was reported as one of the most encouraging factors towards seeking traditional treatment options.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=268578

Exercice physique ; Homme ; Pratique culturelle ; YogaRésumé : Yoga offers an integrated approach to health and well-being that could potentially benefit men. This qualitative descriptive study examined men's perceptions of yoga, and identified barriers and possible facilitators for participation. Twenty-one non-yoga participant men, 18–60 years old, and living in Queensland, Australia, were interviewed. Two major barriers were identified using thematic analysis: (1) preference for other forms of physical activity, and (2) gender-related perceptions and pressures (i.e., perception of yoga as feminine, and presence of “bloke” culture and masculine ideals in society). Potential facilitators included: (1) acceptability of yoga among men, (2) providing brief information sessions, and (3) men-only classes. The non-competitive nature of yoga, in addition to being predominantly undertaken by women, makes it less appealing for men living in Australia. These barriers need to be considered if yoga is to be promoted as an option for men, particularly those not drawn to traditional sports or exercise.

To assess the efficacy and safety of retention enema with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for ulcerative colitis (UC) through a meta-analysis of published studies.
Methods
Literatures were retrieved from five electronic databases. Quality evaluation and meta-analysis were respectively conducted using the Cochrane collaboration and RevMan5.3. Overall quality of evidence was evaluated using GRADE system. Effect sizes were pooled using random effect models.
Results
Seventeen RCTs were included. Compared with routine pharmacotherapies (RPs), TCM enema exhibited a statistically significant difference in clinical efficacy and reduction of the recurrence rate. The results of qualitative description for other endpoints, such as improvements in anabrosis, ulcer, diarrhea, and hematochezia, suggested that TCM enema had better efficacy than RPs. Furthermore, the incidence of side effects in TCM was lower than that in RPs.
Conclusion
This meta-analysis confirmed the efficacy and safety of TCM enema for improving UC symptoms.

Personnel militaire ; Pleine conscience (Mindfulness) ; Revue systématique ; Stress psychologique ; Troubles de stress post-traumatiqueRésumé : Background
In recent years, mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have experienced exponential growth in terms of development, application, and research. However, few studies have examined implementation and efficacy of these interventions in particular populations, such as military Veterans. Such studies are needed as one cannot assume that the literature on MBIs implemented with the general population or other specific populations apply equally well to Veterans. This population is unique regarding professional competencies, military ethos, high degrees of medical comorbidities and barriers to treatment. The aim of this work was to review and summarize the literature over the previous five years (2014–2020) assessing the use of MBIs among military Veterans to guide clinical care and future research.
Methods
Systematic literature review.
Results
A total of 88 articles were found. Screening titles and abstracts resulted in 49 articles being excluded. The remaining 39 articles were read in full, and of these, 12 were excluded due to not fully meeting the inclusion criteria. Thus, the present review included a total of 27 articles, 3 of which used qualitative methods and 24 of which used quantitative methods.
Conclusions
MBIs hold promise as complementary adjunctive interventions for Veterans with PTSD and possibly other psychiatric disorders. Currently there are significant gaps in the literature that must be addressed to move the field forward. The main deficiency is, with a few exceptions, the lack of rigorous RCTs. Another major concern is the lack of generalizability to female and non-white Veterans given that the subject samples across all studies reviewed were 85% male and 76% white. At this time, MBSR, PCBMT and MBCT can be recommended as adjunctive complementary interventions for the reduction of PTSD symptoms. Research recommendations to move the field forward are provided.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=268582

Pain and disability may persist following lumbar spine surgery and patients may subsequently seek providers trained in manipulative and manual therapy (MMT). This systematic review investigates the effectiveness of MMT after lumbar surgery through identifying, summarizing, assessing quality, and grading the strength of available evidence. Secondarily, we synthesized the impact on medication utilization, and reports on adverse events.
Methods
Databases and grey literature were searched from inception through August 2020. Article extraction consisted of principal findings, pain and function/disability, medication consumption, and adverse events.
Results
Literature search yielded 2025 articles,117 full-text articles were screened and 51 citations met inclusion criteria.
Conclusion
There is moderate evidence to recommend neural mobilization and myofascial release after lumbar fusion, but inconclusive evidence to recommend for or against most manual therapies after most surgical interventions. The literature is primarily limited to low-level studies. More high-quality studies are needed to make recommendations.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=268583

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease and refers to the accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes. Recent studies have showed that resveratrol (antioxidant of grape) can be effective in the treatment of NAFLD through its inhibitory effect on lipid accumulation.
Method
We systematically searched databases including: ISI web of science, Scopus, PubMed and Embase by using related keywords. Then, by considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, appropriate articles were selected. All the analyses were conducted in Review Manager (RevMan) Version 5.3.
Results
Finally, 6 RCTs were included in meta-analysis and systematic review. Our results showed that resveratrol supplementation significantly reduced levels of TNF-alpha (SMD = −0.46; 95% CI (−0.78, 0.14); P = 0.005) and hs-CRP (SMD = −0.53; 95% CI (−1.01, −0.05); P = 0.030), but for other markers (BW, BMI, WC, HC, WHR, SBP, DBP, ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, bilirubin, TC, TG, HDL, LDL, LDL to HDL ratio, apo-A1, apo-B, insulin, HOMA-IR, glucose, creatinine and IL-6), no significant change was observed.

Improvement in the level of consciousness (LOC) is considered as an indicator of recovery among patients with head trauma (HT). musical stimulation is a simple noninvasive intervention with potential positive effects on LOC. This study evaluated the effects of musical stimulation on LOC among patients with HT hospitalized in intensive care unit.
Methods
This clinical trial was conducted in 2018–2019. Fifty-four patients with HT were purposively and consecutively recruited from two trauma intensive care units in Qazvin, Iran, and randomly allocated to a control (n = 27) and an intervention (n = 27) group. Participants in the intervention group received fifteen-minute musical stimulation once daily for seven consecutive days using an MP3 player and a headphone for their counterparts, the headphones were silent for 15 min without receiving any musical stimulation once daily for seven consecutive days. A demographic questionnaire, the Glasgow Coma Scale, and the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale were used for data collection. LOC was daily assessed before and after each musical stimulation session. The SPSS program (v. 23.0) was used for data analysis at a significance level of less than 0.05.
Findings
There were significant between-group differences respecting the posttest mean score of LOC in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh days of the study intervention (P 0.05).
Conclusion
musical stimulation is effective in significantly improving LOC among hospitalized patients with HT. Therefore, it can be used as a non-expensive noninvasive intervention to improve treatment outcomes among these 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=268590

Apoptose ; Huile essentielleMots-clés : Huile essentielle de Zataria Multiflora Croissance des cellules cancéreuses Résumé : Today, herbs are used as adjuncts to reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs. Here, Zataria-Multiflora Essential Oil (ZEO) was concomitantly employed with doxorubicin, as an anti-cancer drug, to reduce the doxorubicin dosage. The growth inhibition was determined using MTT assay in treated cells. The morphological alteration was observed by fluorescent staining. To verify and compare the apoptosis, AnnexinV-PI flowcytometry and DNA fragmentation assay were performed, and the influence of the compounds on ROS generation was assessed. Changes in MMP and protein expression were analyzed by flowcytometry and western blot, respectively. The results showed that ZEO can act as an amplifier to sensitize PC3 prostate cancer cells to undergo ROS generation and apoptosis. This amplification can heighten the doxorubicin efficacy in lower doses. Consequently, our results indicated that doxorubicin-ZEO combinatory treatment of PC3 cells can reduce the nonspecific toxicity of doxorubicin and can be considered as a candidate in combinatory therapy.

This review aimed at systematically evaluating the efficacy and safety of Yinqiao powder combined with western medicine in the treatment of pneumonia.
Methods
A systematic search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on pneumonia treatment using a combination of Yinqiao powder and western medicine was performed in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu (VIP) and CBM. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to June 2020. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the bias risk of the included studies. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.3 software. Quality of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.
Result
Fifteen RCTs involving 1705 patients were included in the analysis. The meta-analysis results revealed the total effective rate of the treatment group [RR = 1.21, 95% CI (1.15, 1.27), P 0.05).
Conclusion
The current evidence indicated that the Yinqiao powder combined with western medicine can improve total efficiency in the treatment of pneumonia patients. The combination therapy performed better when compared to western medicine alone in the cooling time, bacterial clearance rate, T cell count, decline rates of CRP and PCT as well as in the incidences of adverse reactions. However, there was no significant difference in the decline rates of neutrophils and leucocytes between the two groups. The funnel plot, Egger's test and Begg's test indicated publication bias, which may be associated with unpublished negative study results. Due to the limitation of the quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies should be performed to verify our conclusions.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=268645

Déficience intellectuelle ; Hygiène buccodentaire ; MusicothérapieRésumé : Background and purpose
Dental anxiety is particularly problematic for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), resulting in a greater reluctance to undergo dental procedures and exacerbating poor oral health. Drugs commonly used for dental anxiety have undesirable side effects and may not be preferred by patients and guardians. Alternative methods for managing dental anxiety are needed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of music listening on anxiety levels of patients with IDD awaiting dental procedures.
Materials and methods
A convenience sample of 15 patients with IDD listened to piano music for 10 min before scheduled outpatient dental procedures. Preprocedural dental anxiety levels as measured by Revised ADAMS scores, pulse rates, and blood pressures were compared pre and post music listening. Participants’ premedication requirements for the procedure with music listening was compared to their respective previously scheduled procedure with no music listening.
Results
Post music listening, patients demonstrated reduced anxiety levels as evidenced by lower Revised ADAMS scores (p = 0.001), mean arterial pressures (p = 0.09), pulse rates (p = 0.02), and reduced premedication requirements.
Conclusion
Study results suggest that music listening offers an effective, nonpharmacologic alternative to reducing preprocedural dental anxiety in patients with IDD.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=268647

This study describes the experiences of Pet Support Program clients in Melbourne, Australia and how the programs reduce the social isolation of the elderly. The study also describes the role of pets and associated health benefits of pet ownership.
Method
The qualitative description study comprised of two phases: a secondary data analysis of interviews with 14 PSP clients, and key informant interviews with four PSP providers.
Results
The interviews were thematically analysed which resulted in three interconnected themes: Attachment, Support and Social Isolation. Social isolation was reduced by the PSP through access to social support groups, as well as the provision of a regular visitor who provides meaningful conversation and companionship.
Conclusion
These results align with literature on pet ownership and Attachment Theory. The results also offer an insight into how PSPs allow the elderly to maintain pet ownership and age in place, thus enhancing their health and well-being.Disponible en ligne : Oui
