Background: Cataracts are among the main causes of blindness in middle- and low-income countries; however, their incidence has decreased in recent years due to an increase in cataract removable surgery (phacoemulsification). The anesthesia management for phacoemulsification has changed throughout the years; currently, most cataract removable surgeries are performed under topical anesthesia and intravenous sedation.

In the course of our long-term practice in the clinical application of the principles of systematic approach and those of Integrative Oncology we purposefully and gradually began to develop all available achievements of integrative biophysics. In 2018, after a long study period, we created the IPT & BPT method, which is a combined application of Insulin Potentiation Therapy and Biomagnetic Therapy with Magnetic Pairs. The first successful results of the application of this method were presented in two consecutive publications (1,2).

Introduction: Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of inferior heel pain which can be aggravated by biomechanical stress. Pain, decreased ankle mobility and weight bearing during walking can affect the individual’s functional performance. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the long term effect of Myofascial Release Technique and Positional Release Technique on pain and functional ability in subjects with chronic plantar fasciitis.

Introduction: Nowadays, the role of the anesthesiologist during digestive endoscopic procedures has become indispensable for different reasons, among which stands out providing safety to the patient. There are different anesthetic techniques, intravenous sedation being the most common since it provides analgesia and decreases the state of consciousness, avoiding the somatic response of the patient during the procedure. Objectives: The purpose of this review is to explore the safety of deep sedation in the endoscopy room.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a therapeutic intervention utilized for patients suffering from cardio-respiratory failure. ECMO, the highest level of life support, allows for different perfusion strategies to temporarily support patients as they recover or to facilitate as a bridge to transplantation (heart or lung).(1)Patients receiving ECMO are at high risk for significant physical impairment and pose unique challenges for physical therapy.

This study focused on the Influence of training in special needs education in implementing inclusive education in lower grades primary schools.

Respondents were 37 in number that included one education officer, nine school heads, and twenty-seven lower grades primary teachers.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the most frequent complications of this infection include pneumonia and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Hypoxemia and increased work of breathing are determining factors in adopting various non-invasive oxygenation therapeutic strategies in patients with COVID-19.

La hipospadias es una patología común en todo el mundo que se presenta en recién nacidos masculinos, se tiene estimado una incidencia de 1 en cada 250 , aproximadamente; cabe destacar que no todos son diagnosticados a temprana edad y que su tratamiento es únicamente quirúrgico, según algunas fuentes, antes de los 18 meses mayormente recomendado.

Sea urchin belongs to the echinoderm family, with globular or flat, calcified spines covered bodies. There are more than 1000 species of sea-urchins and about 80 poisonous potentially to human. Sea-urchin poisoning symptoms comprise systemic and local effects such as severe pain, syncope, respiratory distress and paralysis. We report a snorkel diver case with near-drowning accident and sea-urchin stung.
