Background: The aeLASTIC training method is a functional training in orthostatic position. It was first described in 2016 as a mechanical application of the Lyapunov Stability (LME) law. The aeLASTIC tool allows working on muscle balance to improve postural balance. Aim of the Study: The application of aeLASTIC training can introduce a proprioception to maintain the body in a steady posture after using this training in a 20-minute workout twice a week for two weeks.

Covid-19 is a disease that affects the whole world and often causes the death of hundreds of thousands of people with lung involvement. In recent years, it is an unprecedented reason for occupancy in hospital wards and intensive care units. In this study, it was aimed to compare the lung dynamics, prognosis, and mortality of vaccinated and unvaccinated patients in the intensive care unit. Patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Units between August 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021 were retrospectively examined.

Background: postmenopausal obesity leads to many serious health risks such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and psychological disorder. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of intermittent fasting diet and aerobic exercise on obesity in postmenopausal women. Subjects: sixty obese postmenopausal women participated in this study, their ages ranged from 50-60 years, their body mass index (BMI) ranged from 30-35 kg/m2, and they were selected randomly from outpatient clinic of the Medical Complex in New Cairo Police Hospital, Cairo Governorate.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Star excursion balance training on dynamic balance in flexible flat feet. Methods: A pre-post randomized experimental design was used.

Fat embolism syndrome is frequently a misdiagnosis. Both intensivists and orthopaedic surgeons are recognizing its more common occurrence than hitherto thought. The classical triad of hypoxia, skin involvement and neurological involvement is not always present and over dependence on scoring system may lead to misdiagnosis in our opinion. Here we report a case of Fat embolism syndrome presenting without the classical symptoms but in a critical condition. High index of suspicion lead to early diagnosis and prompt treatment with complete recovery of patient.

Background: Most men diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) their age are 50 or older treated by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) treatment has been associated with interconnected adverse effects as decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and a loss in the structure and strength of bone leading to osteoporosis. Exercise has been proposed as a treatment to relieve adverse effects of ADT. Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect aerobic exercises versus resisted exercises on osteoporosis in prostate cancer patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy.
