Objectives. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Royal Jelly (RJ) at a dose of 800 mg/day on menopausal symptoms in healthy Japanese postmenopausal women with placebo-controlled design. Material and Methods. A total of 42 healthy Japanese postmenopausal women have been recruited for this study. The subjects were randomized to oral treatment with either 800 mg of protease-digested lyophilized powder of RJ (enzyme-treated RJ) or placebo (800 mg of dextrin) daily for 12 weeks. The level of menopausal symptoms has been evaluated every 4 weeks, using menopausal symptoms questionnaire of Japanese women. Independent t-test was used to evaluate statistical significance of the treatment effects between the two groups. Results and Conclusion. All of the 42 women have completed the trial. There were significant differences related to the anxiety score (P=0.046) and backache and low back pain score (P=0.040) between 800 mg/day enzyme-treated RJ and placebo-treated groups after 12 weeks of administration, and no significant differences were found between the two groups in 4 weeks after intervention. No side effects were observed in either group. This study demonstrates that enzyme-treated RJ supplementation with doses of 800 mg/day is effective in relieving menopausal symptoms such as anxiety, backache, and low back pain in Japanese postmenopausal women.

BACKGROUND: Distinctive features of low back pain-developers (LBPDs) as pre-clinical low back pain (LBP) population have been evidenced in three areas of alignment, muscle activation, and movement patterns. To clarify whether the reported altered functional movement patterns in chronic LBP patients result from or result in LBP disorders, LBPDs’ functional movement patterns should be investigated. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare female LBPDs’ functional movement patterns with non-pain developers’ (NPDs). METHODS: Sixty female LBPDs and NPDs were recruited based on the research requirements. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) was used to investigate movement quality. Data were compared between groups via Mann-Whitney U tests and correlation analyses examined association between pain intensity and onset during prolonged standing and the FMS score. Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves and Chi Squares were conducted to find the best cutoff points. An alpha level of p≤0.05 was used to establish statistical significance. RESULTS: LBPDs scored significantly lower, or rather worse than NPDs in the FMS composite score (12.06±1.33 vs. 16.43±1.59, U = 3, P <  0.001). Moreover, the optimal cutoff scores of≤14 on the FMS, 2 on the push-up, and 1 on the deep squat discriminated between female LBPDs and NPDs. The FMS composite score was correlated negatively with LBP intensity (r (60) = –0.724, p <  0.001) and positively with LBP onset (r (60) = 0.277, p = 0.032) during prolonged standing. Finally, the results indicated that female LBPDs presented with at least one bilateral asymmetry on the FMS had 10 times (95%CI, 2.941–34.008) and with at least two bilateral asymmetries on the FMS had 15.5 times (95%CI, 3.814–63.359) higher odds of developing LBP during prolonged standing than NPDs. CONCLUSIONS: Female LBPDs, who are at higher risk for developing LBP in the future, have significantly lower quality of functional movement patterns compared to NPDs. Moreover, the FMS appears to show promise for predicting individuals who are at risk for LBP development during prolonged standing.

Objetivo: verificar a prevalência de dor e adoecimento relacionados à atividade laboral e referidos pela equipe de enfermagem. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, analítico, de corte transversal realizado com 202 técnicos de enfermagem e enfermeiros assistenciais. Coletaram-se os dados por meio de questionário semiestruturado auto aplicado. Realizou-se a análise bivariada dos dados. Avaliou-se a significância estatística por meio do IC 95% e do teste Qui-quadrado. Resultados: identificou-se prevalência de 69,3% de relato de dor e de 34,2% de adoecimento relacionado à atividade laboral, destacando-se a lombalgia crônica e as varizes; houve prevalência de 19,3% de ansiedade entre os entrevistados e estes apresentaram 20 vezes mais chances de relatar dores. Conclusão: conclui-se que dor e adoecimento são muito prevalentes nos profissionais de enfermagem e parecem ser inerentes às características da atividade exercida e do processo de trabalho, e a discussão desses problemas é de grande relevância para a Enfermagem e para os gestores de serviços de saúde.

Method: this is a quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional study conducted with 202 nursing technicians and nursing assistants. Data was collected using a self-administered semi-structured questionnaire. Bivariate data analysis was performed. Statistical significance was assessed using the 95% CI and the chi-square test. Results: a prevalence of 69.3% of reports of pain and 34.2% of illness related to work activity was identified, with emphasis on chronic low back pain and varicose veins; there was a 19.3% prevalence of anxiety among the interviewees and they were 20 times more likely to report pain. Conclusion: it is concluded that pain and illness are very prevalent in Nursing professionals and seem to be inherent to the characteristics of the activity performed and the work process, and the discussion of these problems is of great relevance for Nursing and healthcare service managers.

Forty patients with acute mechanical low-back pain were treated in a double-blind manner with either Rado-Salil® or placebo for 14 days. Statistically significant improvements in spontaneous pain, muscular contracture and in both the patient's and physician's opinions occurred by day 3. These improvements persisted at day 14 and, in addition, there were statistically significant improvements in the finger–floor distance and the degree of lumbar extension. Treatment with Rado-Salil® also allowed significant reduction in the use of oral analgesics. Only a few localized transient side-effects, requiring no specific treatment, were observed.
