Intention To Treat

Low-Dye taping is often used as a short-term treatment for plantar fasciitis. We evaluated the short-term effectiveness of low-Dye taping in relieving pain associated with plantar fasciitis. In this comparative study conducted at a university-based clinic, 65 participants with plantar fasciitis who received low-Dye taping for 3 to 5 days were compared with 40 participants who did not receive taping. Pain before and after treatment was measured using a visual analog pain scale. Analysis of the data was by the intention-to-treat principle, and a linear regression approach to analysis of covariance was used to compare effects. The visual analog pain scale score improved by a mean of 20 mm (from 44 to 24 mm) in the taping group and worsened by a mean of 6 mm (from 51 to 57 mm) in the control group. The analysis of covariance–adjusted difference in therapeutic effect favored the taping group by 31.7 mm (95% confidence interval, 23.6–39.9 mm) and was statistically significant (t = 7.71). In the short term, low-Dye taping significantly reduces the pain associated with plantar fasciitis. These findings are the first quantitative results to demonstrate the significant therapeutic effect of this treatment modality in relieving the symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis.

It has been well proved that melatonin participates in the regulation of the seasonal reproduction of ewes. However, the effects of short term treatment of melatonin on ewe’s ovulation are still to be clarified. In this study, the effects of melatonin on the number of embryo s harvested from superovulation, and the pregnant rate in recipients after embryo transferred have been investigated. Hu sheep with synchronous estrus treatment were given melatonin subcutaneously injection (0, 5, and 10 mg/ewe, respectively). It was found that t he estrogen level in the group of 5 mg melatonin was significantly higher than that of other two groups a t the time of sperm insemination ( p < 0.05). The pregnant rate and number of lambs in the group of 5 mg melatonin treatment was also significantly higher than that of the rests of the groups ( P < 0.05). In another study, 31 Suffolk ewes as donors and 103 small-tailed han sheep ewes as recipients were used to produce pronuclear embryo and embryo transfer. Melatonin (5 mg) was given to the donors during estrus. The results showed that, the number of pronuclear embryos and the pregnancy rate were also significantly higher in melatonin group than that in the control group . In addition, 28 donors and 44 recipient ewes were used to produce morula/blastocyst and embryo transferring. Melatonin (5 mg) was given during estrus. The total number of embryos harvested ( 7.40±1.25/ewe vs. 3.96±0.73/ewe, P<0.05 ) and the pregnant rate (72.3±4.6% vs.54.7±4.0%, P<0.05) and number of lambs were also increased in melatonin group compared to the control group. Collectively, the results have suggested that melatonin treatment 36 hours after CIDR withdrawal could promote the number and quality of embryos in the in vivo condition and increased the pregnant rate and number of lambs.

Background: Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel and foot pain. Physical therapists have applied many techniques in an attempt to relieve the symptoms of plantar fasciitis, including various taping methods for which there is little existing evidence. Purpose of the study is to compare the effects of 2 different taping techniques in short-term management of plantar fasciitis. Study design was randomized pre- and post-test different subject experimental design. Methods and Measure: Subjects (n=30) were randomly assigned into 3 groups: (A) calcaneal taping and conventional treatment,(B) low-dye taping and conventional treatment, (C) conventional treatment only. Visual analog scale (VAS) for first-step pain and foot function index scale (FFI) for functional activities were measured pretreatment, 4th day and after 1 week of treatment, 7th day ( post-treatment). Result: Follow up analysis revealed that calcaneal and low-dye taping showed greater improvement on 2nd and 3rd session compared to conventional treatment. Conclusion: Subjects treated with calcaneal and low-dye taping along with ultrasound and passive stretching showed an additional and more significant improvement as compared to ultrasound and passive stretching only and also there was no significant difference found between calcaneal and low-dye taping groups in terms of reduction of pain on VAS and FFI. Hence, it can be concluded that both calcaneal and low-dye taping techniques are effective therapeutic option in short-term treatment of plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the heel and medial arch of the foot can interfere daily activities. Taping theplantar fasciitis will reduce pain by reducing strain on the plantar fascia during standing and ambulation.Objective: to see the effect of taping on pain and walking speed.Methods: fifteen subjects received taping and ultrasound diathermy therapy for one week. Fifteen othersubjects received ultrasound therapy alone. Pain measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the walkingspeed is measured in meters / sec.Results: VAS score started to differ significantly on the first day after treatment (p = 0.008) and continuesuntil the last day of evaluation. On the first day, the VAS score changes differs significantly (p = 0.002). Butin the evaluation of the days, the change of VAS scores were not significantly different. VAS score changes onthe seventh day compared to the initial evaluation found significant (p <0.001). With multivariate analysis ofrepeated measurements, VAS scores in each group decreased significantly (p <0.001), but the decrease in VASscore taping group were significantly better compared with non-taping group (p = 0.004).Conclusion: combination of taping and ultrasound diathermy for people with plantar fasciitis can be used asa modality to reduce pain more quickly.Keywords:plantar fasciitis, taping, ultrasound diathermy, visual analog scale, walking speed.

The Impact

A test was done to see if reading a newspaper which consistently overrepresents foreigners as criminals strengthens the automatic association between foreign country and criminal in memory (i.e., implicit cultivation). Further, an investigation was done to find out if reading articles from the same newspaper produces a short-term effect on the same measure and if (1) emotionalization of the newspaper texts, (2) emotional reactions of the reader (indicated by arousal), and (3) attributed text credibility moderate the short-term treatment effect. Eighty-five participants were assigned to one of three experimental conditions. Participants in the control group received short factual crime texts, where the nationality of the offender was not mentioned. Participants in the factual treatment group received the same texts, but the foreign nationality was mentioned. Participants in the emotionalized treatment group received emotionalized articles (i.e., texts which are high in vividness and frequency) covering the same crimes, with the foreign nationality mentioned. Supporting empirical evidence for implicit cultivation and a short-term effect was found. However, only emotionalized articles produced a short-term effect on the strength of the automatic association, indicating that newspaper texts must have a minimum of stimulus intensity to overcome an effect threshold. There were no moderating effects of arousal or credibility pertaining to the impact on the implicit measure. However, credibility moderated the short-term effect on a first-order judgment (i.e., estimated frequency of foreigners of all criminals). This indicates that a newspaper’s effect on the strength of automatic associations is relatively independent from processes of propositional reasoning.
