“…RTT rehabilitation research has largely focused on communication abilities, with communicative acts, including gestures, and language-generating assistive technologies such as eyetracking technology (ETT) being evaluated to a greater extent than physical or behavioral interventions. 9 Consequently, with the exception of select clinical reports, [10][11][12][13] there are no holistic analyses of published rehabilitation strategies, thereby justifying the need for this scoping review.…”

Aim To summarize existing interventions and their outcomes in Rett syndrome (RTT) rehabilitation and identify gaps in the literature. Method Five databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase Classic, Ovid PsycINFO, EBSCO CINAHL Plus, and ProQuest ERIC) were systematically searched up to 23rd July 2018 for studies describing rehabilitation interventions. Data on study participants, design, and outcomes were extracted. Results Sixty‐two articles were included in the final review. Evidence consistently demonstrated that females with RTT can improve their gross motor, fine motor, and communicative skills with rehabilitation. All 11 interventions targeting gross motor function, namely ambulation, achieved functional improvements. Twenty of 24 articles describing fine motor rehabilitation studies succeeded in decreasing stereotypies, improving functional hand use, and/or reducing self‐injurious behaviors. Twenty‐one of 22 studies describing communication interventions succeeded in training choice‐making, communicative language, or socialization behavior. Other key findings include the positive interplay between physical and communicative rehabilitation outcomes, and the ability of females with RTT to improve their cognitive abilities during intervention. Interpretation Rehabilitation can impact the daily lives of females with RTT and their caregivers in clinically meaningful ways. What this paper adds Females with Rett syndrome (RTT) can make developmental gains across their life span. Long‐term intervention can improve the physical abilities of individuals with RTT. Low‐, medium‐, and high‐technology interventions can improve the communicative abilities of individuals with RTT.

“…However, screening in community pharmacies, on the whole, is designed to provide access to screening services to the members of the public, who may not be able to access this intervention through their GP. 44 The study revealed that some clients of community pharmacies had earlier identified community pharmacies as their healthcare center and had accessed HIV screening services there. Previous studies revealed that screening for some diseases in community pharmacies is feasible, consumers were in favor of screening and monitoring services in community pharmacies, and that patient satisfaction with pharmacy-based screening was high.…”

The World Health Organization is promoting community-based services to end HIV/AIDS by 2030. In Nigeria, studies on community pharmacists’ involvement in HIV testing services (HTS) and antiretroviral (ARV) medication therapy management (MTM) are scarce, and no study had evaluated the clients’ opinion on community pharmacy HTS. We assessed the community pharmacists’ involvement in HIV/AIDS services and clients’ opinions of community pharmacy HTS. Semi-structured questionnaires on a five-point Likert scale were administered to 701 selected community pharmacists and 5840 clients in southwest Nigeria in 2019. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Response rates were 68.6% and 69.8% for community pharmacists and clients, respectively. Only 18.5% of community pharmacists offered rapid HTS and 30% refills of ARV. The total score of their involvement on the HTS was 20.94 ± 17.521 (range 8–40; midpoint 24) and on ARV/MTM was 22.98 ± 19.61 (range 9–45; midpoint 27), while 91% were willing to participate in training. Barriers to integrating services into practice were lack of clinical tools (46.8%), lack of collaboration with other healthcare professionals (39.1%), and lack of training on HIV/AIDS services (36.2%) among others. Also, 77% of the clients were willing to participate in community pharmacy HTS, and about 83% of them responded that knowing their HIV status will help them to take necessary precautionary actions. Community pharmacists’ involvement in HIV/AIDS services was low. However, they showed willingness to participate in training to improve services. Also, clients were willing to receive community pharmacies HTS to know their status.

“…2 In 1934, the inter-vertebral disc was implicated in the pathophysiology of sciatica. 3 Different factors are thought to influence the clinical profile of patients suffering from sciatica such as occupational factors, strenuous physical activity, driving, movements including vibration of whole body may be prone to sciatica. 4 Life time incidence of sciatica was estimated to be 13 % to 40 %.…”

Background: Sciatica became the accepted name for pain radiating from the lower back or buttock into the leg after being distinguished from arthritic hip pain in the 18th century. Several studies suggest strong connection of Socioeconomic status with sciatica. Accurate data on the incidence and prevalence of sciatica is still missing. The objective of this study was to observe a relationship of sciatica patients with their socioeconomic status. Methods: Sixty (60) diagnosed cases of sciatica selected randomly were interrogated and assessed according to the modified Kuppuswamy’s socioeconomic status (SES) scale. Results: It was found that 36.6% were belonging to upper-middle class of society, 35% from lower-middle class, 13.8% from upper-lower class, 8.6% from upper class and only 6.9% were belonging to lower socioeconomic class of society. Conclusions: The current study depicted that the sciatica is more common in middle socioeconomic class followed by upper and lower socioeconomic class respectively.
