[Purpose] We investigated the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound and cryotherapy on joint function recovery and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels of patients with total knee replacement. [Subjects] Forty-six patients with total knee replacement were recruited and allocated to either low-intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy (n=15), cryotherapy (n=15), or a combination of both (n=16). Therapy...

Muscle performance might be temporarily impaired by high-intensity exercise performed during a competition or training session. The attenuation in muscular strength may be transitory, lasting minutes, hours, or several days following training or competition (Barnett, 2006). Longer-lasting impairment in muscle strength accompanied by a reduction in range of motion, an increase in muscle proteins...

History of Cryotherapy Treatment by cold (cryotherapy) has been practised in medicine for many centuries. The use of liquid air to produce intense cold locally by White in I899 introduced a new and valuable method of treatment into dermatology. His technique was soon adopted successfully by other American practitioners such as Trimble (I905), Whitehouse (I907), and Dade (I908); liquid air was u...

Since the introduction of the flexible bronchoscope by Ikeda et al. [1], it has become one of the most important tools for diagnosing and treating pulmonary diseases. Its applications range from airway evaluations to interventional therapy for airway lesions. Interventional bronchoscopy using rigid and flexible bronchoscopes has progressed with the introduction of new techniques to relieve airw...

Cryosurgery has a long history dating back to the mid-1800s when James Arnott, an English physician, used a salt and ice mixture to treat cervical and breast carcinoma. Modern cryosurgery began in 1961 with the development of automated equipment by Cooper and Lee. Since then, tumors in various organs have been treated with cryoablation, and probes of various shapes and sizes have been designed ...

CLINICAL CASE The cases of an 86 year-old woman and a 61 year-old man with conjunctival pigmented tumors are presented. An excisional biopsy, conjunctival cryotherapy and amniotic membrane grafts were performed in both cases, along with the application of mitomycin-C in the postoperative period. The histology study confirmed the clinical suspicion of melanoma. Tolerance was good during the foll...

The effects of severe cold stress on total peroxyl radical trapping antioxidant capacity of plasma (TRAP) were studied in two groups of healthy women: a whole-body cryotherapy group (WBC, n = 10) and a winter swimming group (WS, n = 10). The biovariability of TRAP values was also analysed. The WBC group was exposed to -110 degrees C for 2 min, whereas the exposure for the WS group lasted 20 s i...

OBJECTIVE Musculoskeletal injuries related to training and operational missions frequently affect military personnel. A common treatment for these injuries is the PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation) method, which is time consuming and impractical in the field. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the cryotherapy wrap compared...

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of intralesional bleomycin in comparison to cryotherapy treatment cutaneous warts. Method: The randomized controlled trial was conducted at Department Dermatology, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, from January July 2021, and comprised patients either gender aged 18-60 years who had warts for 1-48 weeks. subjects were divided into group A trea...
