Introduction Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most common cancers that involve human body. Young-onset CRC (YO-CRC) or early-onset (EO-CRC) defined as develops before age 50 years, opposed to diagnosed after 50, referred late-onset (LO-CRC). EO-CRC sparsely studied in our population. Therefore, this study, we evaluated clinicopathological parameters and biomarker profile compared them w...

Background and Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the consistency with which physiotherapists apply manual hyperinflation to a test lung using the AirViva-2 or Mapleson-B resuscitation circuit, and their ability to modify the technique as pulmonary characteristics change. Method: A quasi-experimental, randomized, repeatedmeasures design was used to study 16 volunteer physiotherapists ...

Background and Purpose. Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques aimed at improving lung volumes and secretion clearance in patients after surgery. Periodic continuous positive airway pressure (PCPAP) is used to treat patients following elective upper abdominal surgery. However, the optimal method of application has not been identified, more specifically, the dosage of application of PCPAP....
