Abstract
The popular belief advocates the use of sitz (sitting) baths with cold water for the treatment of acute anal pain, but clinical practice guides recommend the use of hot water for its known effect on the at-rest anal pressure.
The objective of the study was to examine the analgesic effect on the qual...

Abstract
Progressive aquatic resistance training had favorable effects on mobility limitation by increasing walking speed and decreasing stair ascending time. In addition, training increased lower limb muscle power and muscle CSA. Resistance training in water is a feasible mode of rehabilitation that has wid...

Abstract
Wound bed assessment and optimum local wound care are essential to facilitate the wound healing process. The presence of devitalized tissue, for instance necrotic tissue or slough, is common in hard-to-heal wounds and acts as a barrier to healing. There are several debridement options available to t...

Abstract
These results are significant at a 5% level. One can presume that due to the hyperoxygenisation effect the oxidative (aerobic) energy supply accelerated in the mitochondria of the muscular fibres, and this process contributed to the oxidation of fats, too. The authors found that hyperoxygenisation a...
