ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of K8 short wave therapeutic apparatus on facial sensitive skin.Methods 130 patients with facial sensitive skin admitted in our hospital from November 2015 to September 2017 were selected as the subjects.According to the different surgical methods,65 cases in the control group were treated with intensive care cream.On the basis of the control group,65 cases in observation group were given K8 therapeutic apparatus.Then we compared the treatment effect between the two groups.Results K8 shortwave therapeutic apparatus to treat facial sensitive skin can achieve higher total effective rate,reduce the skin area score and and erythema parameters,reduce the skin water loss and improve skin stratum corneum moisture content.After two weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group (98.46％) was higher than that of the control group (86.15％),the skin area score [(2.28 ± 0.26) piont],the erythema parameter (180.28 ± 29.87) and the epidermis water loss [(9.85 ±2.25)g/(cm2 ×h)] were lower than that in the control group [(4.54 ± 1.14) point,223.87 ± 30.47,(13.02 ± 3.25) g/(cm2 × h)],while the water content of the skin cuticle [(88.75 ± 10.35) ％] was higher than that of the control group [(78.98 ± 9.58) ％] (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions K8 short-wave therapeutic apparatus combined with intensive care cream has a better clinical effect and certain advantage in the treatment of facial skin sensitive skin than the use of intensive care cream alone.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of ultrashort wave combined with dephlogisticate cholagogue table in treating patients with chronic cholecystitis.Methods One hundred and forty-four patients with chronic cholecystitis treated from January 2009 to October 2011 were randomly divided into 2gtoupe by mechanical sampling method.Treatment group (76 cases) was treated with ultrashort wave and dephlogisticate cholagogue table.Control group (68 cases) was treated with dephlogisticate cholagogue table.The therapeutic effect and the incidence of ache and fever and B-type ultrasonography between two groups were compared.Results The total effective rates were 89.5％ (68/76) in treatment group and 67.6％(46/68) in control group.There was significant difference (P ＜0.01).The incidence of ache and fever,positive rate of B-type ultrasonography in tneatment group [10.5％(8/76),5.3％(4/76),10.5％(8/76)] were significantly lower than those in control group [32.4％ (22/68),14.7％ (10/68),33.8％(23/68)] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ultrashort wave combined with dephlogisticate cholagogue tabble is an effective method for treating chronic cholecystitis.
ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Medir a exposição de fisioterapeutas aos campos elétrico e magnético produzidos por 17 equipamentos de diatermia de ondas curtas (DOC) de clínicas de fisioterapia da cidade de Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brasil. Comparar os valores medidos com os níveis de exposição recomendados pelo ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection). Observar a eficácia das gaiolas de Faraday como medida de proteção à exposição dos fisioterapeutas aos campos elétrico e magnético oscilantes. MÉTODOS: As medidas dos campos elétrico e magnético foram realizadas durante sessões reais de tratamento fisioterápico, em quatro pontos: nas proximidades da pelve e da cabeça do operador, dos cabos elétricos dos aparelhos e dos eletrodos de aplicação. O equipamento de medição utilizado foi o EMR-200 da Wandell & Goltermann. RESULTADOS: Os valores obtidos nas proximidades dos eletrodos e cabos estavam de 10 a 30 vezes acima dos níveis de referência ocupacionais recomendados pela ICNIRP. Nas salas de tratamento com DOC com gaiola de Faraday, os campos encontrados foram ainda mais altos que os das salas sem esse revestimento, principalmente o campo magnético, com valores superiores a 100 vezes o limite de exposição da ICNIRP. CONCLUSÕES: As intensidades dos campos elétrico e magnético obtidas neste trabalho estão, de modo geral, acima dos níveis de exposição recomendados pelas normas da ICNIRP. Além disso observou-se que a gaiola de Faraday não fornece proteção aos fisioterapeutas mas aumenta os níveis de exposição aos quais estão submetidos estes profissionais.
OBJECTIVE: Measure physical therapists' exposure to the electric and magnetic fields produced by 17 shortwave diathermy devices in physical therapy clinics in the city of Presidente Prudente, São Paulo State, Brazil. Compare the observed values with the exposure levels recommended by the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Observe the efficacy of Faraday cages as a means of protecting physical therapists from exposure to oscillating electric and magnetic fields. METHODS: Electric and magnetic field measurements were taken at four points during actual physical therapy sessions: in proximity to the operator's pelvis and head, the devices' electrical cables, and the electrodes. The measuring equipment was a Wandel & Goltermann EMR-200. RESULTS: The values obtained in proximity to the electrodes and cables were 10 to 30 times higher than ICNIRP's recommended occupational reference levels. In the shortwave diathermy treatment rooms with Faraday cages, the fields were even higher than in treatment rooms not so equipped-principally the magnetic field, where the values were more than 100 times higher than the ICNIRP exposure limit. CONCLUSIONS: The electric and magnetic field intensities obtained in this study are generally above the exposure levels recommend in ICNIRP standards. It was also observed that the Faraday cage offers physical therapists no protection, and instead, increases their level of exposure.
