[The influence of exercises on rehabilitation and reconditioning tables on carbohydrate management in type 2 diabetic patients]. / Wplyw cwiczen na stolach rehabilitacyjno-rekondycyjnych na gospodarke weglowodanowa u chorych na cukrzyce typu II.

Type 2 diabetes has long been called the epidemic of the XXI century. It is the most common type of diabetes. One of the main causes of premature mortality, primarily due to serious complications, which for many years, developing "deceitfully" and asymptomatic. Despite the dynamic growth of the pharmaceutical industry and diabetes care for all patients is not possible to achieve target glycemic index values. It is emphasized that in type 2 diabetes by lifestyle, proper diet and regular physical activity are non-pharmacological treatment methods for maintaining good health. In many scientific studies noted, the close relationship of systematic traffic with less risk of developing the disease. That is why ongoing search for alternative methods of conducting physical training in patients with type II diabetes that are both attractive, safe and providing the highest benefits. Exercise on rehabilitation - reconditioning tables can be an attractive alternative to influence the metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate of the effectiveness of increased physical activity with the use of rehabilitation-reconditioning tables on selected parameters of carbohydrate management in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A group of 50 women during their stay at the sanatorium were examined in aspects of biochemical blood parameters - glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin on the first and last day of 15- days training session (with a Sunday break) on 8 rehabilitationreconditioning tables with a total duration of 64 minutes. In addition, daily fasting blood capillary glucose levels were measured. To assess the level of physical activity of respondents used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (ang. International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ) in Polish, in a condensed form (IPAQ Short Form). RESULTS: The analysis of the study shows that exercise for rehabilitation and reconditioning tables are an effective non-pharmacological treatment of type 2 diabetes. The exercise cycle used on rehabilitation and reconditioning tables caused a reduction of glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in treated people. CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that training on rehabilitation and reconditioning tables is an attractive alternative to exercise influence on metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, characterized by low physical activity, high BMI. Due to age related problems, a different type of physical activity is often impossible to these patients.

[The effect of high-frequency current and ultrasonic wave on selected parameters of fat tissue]. / Wplyw pradu wielkiej czestotliwosci i fali ultradzwiekowej na wybrane parametry gospodarki tluszczowej.

UNLABELLED: Obesity and struggle with its consequences, also aesthetic type resulted in the growing development of methods of body shaping, contouring shapes, increasing skin firmness and skin tightening. The reason is the increasing in recent years, public demand, especially in developed countries. Development of aesthetic dermatology is driven by the search for therapeutic options with minimal invasiveness, enabling the reduction of excess body fat, to obtain a slim figure and reduce the laxity of the skin without the need for surgery. Current high frequency sound wave is an alternative method of treatment for patients with less severe defects. The continuous development of new technologies in the future will improve treatments for increasing the effectiveness and consistency of the results, while maintaining a favorable profile of the associated side effects. AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the behavior of the selected parameters of fat tissue in patients undergoing fat reduction BTL Exilis device. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included a 50-member group of women who are patients of the Specialist Clinic Al-Med in Kolobrzeg. Test was performed twice blood biochemical parameters before the first day of treatment and ten days after the fourth treatment. RESULTS: The results showed no statistical significance of the blood biochemical parameters in all subjects such as total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and the activity of enzymes AST and ALT. CONCLUSIONS: No changes in biochemical parameters of lipid organism in the group of patients indicate the safety of therapy carried out by means of a device emitting high-frequency power and ultrasound. The treatment was evaluated by respondents as effective.

[Comparison of the effect of laser and magnetic therapy for pain level and the range of motion of the spine of people with osteoarthritis lower back]. / Porównanie wplywu laseroterapii i magnetoterapii na poziom bólu oraz zakres ruchomosci kregoslupa osób z choroba zwyrodnieniowa dolnego odcinka kregoslupa.

UNLABELLED: Increased expression of degenerative disease of the lumbar spine is an onerous task, which reduces the efficiency of the activity and life of many populations. It is the most common cause of medical visits. In 95% of cases the cause of complaints is a destructive process in the course of degenerative intervertebral disc called a lumbar disc herniation. Protrusion of the nucleus pulposus causes severe pain and impaired muscle tone, often more chronic and difficult to master. Successful treatment of lumbar disc herniation constitutes a serious interdisciplinary problem. It is important to properly planned and carried out physiotherapy. Based on the number of non-invasive methods, to reduce muscle tension, mute pain and alleviation of inflammation. It is the treatment safe, effective, and at the same time, which is their big advantage, readily available and cheap. It is worth noting that not every method has the same efficiency. The question that the methods are effective in relieving pain and helping to effectively increase the range of motion led to a comparison of two methods - Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and pulsating magnetic field therapy. AIM: The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of LLLT and pulsating magnetic field therapy in combating pain and increase range of motion of the spine of people with degenerative spine disease of the lower back. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 120 patients with diagnose lumbar disc herniation whit no nerve roots symptoms. Patients were divided into two Groups: A and B. Group A of 60 patients were subjected to laser therapy (λ=820nm, P=400mW, Ed=6-12 J/cm²) and the second Group B of 60 patients too, to pulsating magnetic fields procedures (5mT, 30 Hz, 15 minutes). Every patient before rehabilitation started and right after it has finished has undergone examination. Subjective pain assessment was carried out using a modified Laitinen questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale of Pain intensity. Spine mobility was evaluated whit the Schober test and the Fingertip-to-floor-test. The obtained results were subjects to statistical analysis. RESULTS: Research shows that both low energy laser and pulsating magnetic field physical attributes are effective methods for the treatment of pain and restricted mobility of the spine caused by disc herniation. Careful analysis emphasizes greater efficiency laser for pain. In contrast, a statistically greater improvement in global mobility of the spine, as well as flexion and extension of the lumbar recorded in group B, where the applied pulsating magnetic field. CONCLUSIONS: Both laser and magnet therapy reduces pain and improves mobility of the spine of people with degenerative spine disease of the lower back. Comparison of the effectiveness of both methods showed a greater analgesic effect of laser treatment, and greater mobility of the spine was observed under the influence of pulsating magnetic field therapy.

[The influence of laser therapy on selected functional parameters of patients with spondyloarthrosis of the lower section of the spine]. / Wplyw laseroterapii na wybrane parametry czynnosciowe u chorych ze zmianami zwyrodnieniowymi dolnego odcinka kregoslupa.

UNLABELLED: Spondyloarthrosis is a quickly growing disease in highly civilized communities. It is one of the most frequent causes for movement limitations and is listed as the main reason for the incapacitation for work among people of the working age. The following symptoms can be observed in patients with spondyloarthrosis: pain, limited spine mobility, increased muscle tone. Chronic pain and the associated limitation of movement underlie the quest for an effective therapy. Using laser therapy as part of physical therapy prompts research into the effectiveness of the measure in patients with spondyloarthrosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of laser therapy on spondyloarthrosis of the lumbar spine. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 60 patients suffering from chronic low back pain, diagnosed with a lumbar disc herniation with no nerve root symptoms, received laser therapy (820 nm, 400 mW, 6-12 J/cm2. Every patient underwent examinations before and after rehabilitation. Subjective pain assessment was carried out using a modified Laitinen questionnaire and visual analogue scale of pain intensity. Spine mobility was evaluated using Schober's test and the fingertip-to-floor-test. The obtained results were subject to a statistical analysis. RESULTS: Laser therapy was effective in the therapy of lumbar disc herniation. The results of the analysis showed that the intensity and frequency of pain decreased, as well as the use of painkillers. A vast improvement in global spine mobility and lumbosacral flexion and extension could be observed, too. CONCLUSIONS: The study showed a slight analgesic effect and a substantial increase in spine mobility through laser biostimulation.
