Tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction occurs when the tibialis posterior tendon becomes inflamed and stretched, causing pain and difficulty walking. It progresses through four stages as the tendon tears and the foot arch flattens. Treatment includes rest, bracing, physiotherapy, and surgery such as tendon repair or reconstruction if non-surgical methods fail. Surgery aims to relieve pain and stop deformity progression, but full recovery can take up to a year with prolonged physiotherapy.

Lymphascial Kinesiotaping for Post-Surgical Recovery written by Clare Anvar M...Mary Fickling
Kinesiology taping was originally invented in the 1970’s by Korean chiropractor, Kenzo Kase. It is probably best known in the UK for its use in sports medicine, where the colourful tapes are worn by
athletes for musculoskeletal correction .
Lymphascial taping is an application method for Kinesiology tape, which has been developed specifically to enhance current best practice for post-surgical recovery. It can be used alongside physiotherapy, manual lymphatic drainage and myofascial release to speed results, or as a standalone treatment
Deep Oscillation Therapy written by Tracey Taylor of Taylored Massage TaysideMary Fickling
The document discusses the author's experience with Deep Oscillation Therapy, an electrostatic massage technique. Initially skeptical, the author investigated further and was impressed by the scientific evidence supporting its benefits. After consulting with a therapist using the technique and seeing its effects firsthand, the author purchased the device. The author has found it effective in treating various muscle issues for clients and in healing their own tattoo, and was able to help a client with a rare shoulder condition regain mobility. The author is pleased they invested in the "BuzzBox" device and looks forward to helping more clients.

Effect of Deep Oscillation as a Recovery Method after Fatiguing Soccer TrainingMary Fickling
This study investigated the effects of deep oscillation (DO) as a recovery method after soccer training. In a randomized crossover study with 8 male soccer players, measurements were taken before and 48 hours after a fatiguing soccer training session. Half of the players performed DO self-treatment twice daily for 15 minutes, while the other half received no intervention. After 4 weeks, groups crossed over. The study found significant effects of DO on maximum leg flexion strength and perceived exertion rate. Other measures like maximum leg extension strength, creatine kinase levels, and delayed onset muscle soreness showed non-significant trends favoring the DO group over the control. Overall, the results suggest DO may help accelerate muscle recovery and should be further investigated
Deep Oscillation Therapy In Sports Injuries -Editorial - Journal Of Sports Me...Mary Fickling
Initial promising outcomes from pilot studies in sports applications demonstrate the need for further research on DOT influence on recovering from sports injuries. Elucidation of the mechanism whereby DOT may be affecting results should also be explored. At present, from the clinical research that has been reported, fluid dynamics may be a key area for focus. DOT warrants further study as a potential treatment option that can influence clinical manifestations of pain syndromes or sports injuries.

Breast Cancer Related Lymphoedema: An update by Paul Thiruchelvam, Imperial C...Mary Fickling
1. Breast cancer survivors are living longer, so issues related to long-term survivorship like breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) are increasingly important. BCRL can significantly reduce quality of life.
2. BCRL poses a huge financial burden due to increased healthcare costs associated with treatment and lost productivity. Early detection and treatment of BCRL can reduce costs substantially.
3. The risk of developing BCRL depends on factors like the extent of axillary surgery and radiation treatment. While conservative compression therapy can help manage early BCRL, it is not curative and requires patient compliance.
The Effect of Deep Oscillation in Fibrocystic Breast Disease. A Randomized C...Mary Fickling
A randomized controlled trial of 401 women randomly assigned to three groups has come to remarkable conclusions: treatment with deep oscillation not only reduced the patients' pain perception statistically significantly; above all, it reduces the proportion of fibrosed and cystic tissue, both in comparison to a control group treated with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and a control group without intervention. The research group led by Solangel Hernández Tápanes concludes that Deep Oscillation favors the absorption of fibrosed and cystic tissue due to its tissue relaxant and vasoconstrictor action.
The study was published in the current issue Vol. 11, no. 14 of the Open Access Journal "International Archives of Medicine"

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
