Abstract

Background: Chronic low back pain has an impact on the patient’s life socially,financially, and psychologically, and little data is dealing with the effect of physiotherapy on improving this psychological burden. Objectives: to assess the effect of physiotherapy on depression, anxiety, and stress in those patients. Method: cross-sectional study was conducted at many of the neurology and physiotherapy clinics in Erbil (Iraq), with 40 patients who met the criteria of low back pain depending on the Back Pain Functional Scale, and for each patient, we determined the socio demographic characteristics and clinical ones. The anxiety, depression, andstress were assessed by the Depression, anxiety, and Stress Scale before and afterphysiotherapy. Results: of the 40 patients, there were 10 males (25 %), 19 were unemployed (47.5%), and 19 were uneducated (47.5%). There were 13 patients with another joint deformity (32.5%), and 34 patients were married. There was a significant improvement of depression (p=0.002) and improvement of anxiety (p=0.023), and the most significant was with improvement of stress (p=0.0001). Conclusion:physiotherapy can lead to the improvement of depression,anxiety,and stress in low back pain patients. Keywords:physiotherapy; anxiety; depression; stress; low back pain

Abstract

Background:Studies indicate that approximately 75% of emerging infections in humans are zoonotic, originating from animals. Within the One Health framework, it is evident that recent global environmental changes have contributed to the widespread proliferation of rodents, increasing their interaction with human dwellings and subsequently elevating the risk of rodent-borne diseases. Rodents play a crucial role in the transmission of zoonotic pathogens, including various intestinal helminths such as the cestodes Hymenolepis nanaand Hymenolepis diminuta. Objective:The objective of this study was to identify zoonotic intestinal helminths present in the rodent population of North Sumatra. Methods:This descriptive cross-sectional study utilized purposive sampling and was conducted in three regencies of North Sumatra: Serdang Bedagai, Batu Bara, and Asahan. Rodents were captured using baited traps placed both inside and outside residential areas. Following species identification, the rodents were euthanized, and their intestines were dissected. The intestinal contents were macroscopically examined for the presence of adult helminths, then processed using the formalin-ether concentration technique (FECT) and microscopically analyzed for helminths and their eggs. Results:A total of 47 rodents were captured, with Rattus tanezumibeing the most prevalent species (59.6%), followed by Rattus norvegicus(29.8%) and Rattus tiomanicus(4.3%). Other species identified included Rattus argentiventer, Rattus exulans, and Mus musculus, each constituting 2.1% of the total sample. Seven species of intestinal helminths were detected in 37 of the rodents (78.8%), with most animals having co-infections involving multiple helminth species. Notably, Mus musculusshowed no evidence of infection, whereas the remaining rodent species exhibited a high transmission rate of intestinal helminths, ranging from 71.4% to 100%. The helminths identified were Nippostrongylus brasiliensis(61.7%), Moniliformis moniliformis(36.2%), Heligmosomoides polygyrus(27.7%), and the cestode Hymenolepis nana(8.5%). Additionally, Ascarids, Trichuris spp., and Hymenolepis diminutawere also detected, each with a prevalence of 4.3%. Conclusion:This study identified seven species of intestinal helminths in rodents captured in selected areas of North Sumatra, predominantly from Rattus tanezumiand Rattus norvegicus. Some of the identified helminths, such as Hymenolepis nanaand Hymenolepis diminuta, are known zoonotic pathogens, highlighting the public health risks associated with rodent-borne diseases.  Keywords:one health; zoonosis; rodents; infestation; helminths
