Abstract

Background: Zinc is an essential trace mineral element vital for many physiological functions and plays an important role in growth, reproduction, and the immune system. Adequate zinc stores in the body are extremely important during periods of pregnancy. Methods: This systematic review focused on full-text English literature published between 2014 and 2024 using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Editorials and review pieces published in the same journal as the submission without a DOI were not accepted. The literature was compiled using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SagePub, among other online venues. Result: Five publications were found to be directly related to our ongoing systematic examination after a rigorous three-level screening approach. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the complete text was conducted, and additional scrutiny was given to these articles. Conclusion: serum zinc level in PE patients was significantly lower than that in healthy pregnancy women. A moderate amount of zinc supplementation may reduce the incidence of PE, which needs to be confirmed.

Abstract

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major problem for dentists due to high visual demands that result in postural adaptations. One of the treatment options is exercise therapy, which consists of physical activity that aims to relieve pain. Objectives: This scoping review discusses exercise therapy methods and outcomes in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: This scoping review is guided by PRISMA-ScR. The literature search method used PCC and article searches using PubMed and Google Scholar, which obtained 10,773 journals. 19 journals were selected according to the inclusion criteria, including: stretching exercises in the form of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (n=3), pilates (n=3), core stabilisation exercises (n=4), aerobic exercise (n=1), yoga (n=2), and journals that compared more than one exercise therapy (n=6). Results: The results of this scoping review show that exercise therapy is effective for CLBP patients to reduce pain. It can also improve functional ability, quality of life, muscle strength, muscle endurance, range of motion, balance, flexibility, and spinal stability. Conclusion: Exercise therapy can be the main option for the treatment of CLBP patients.
