Study aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of using a cooler dialysate temperature (35.5°C) on hemodynamic stability in hypotensive patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, compared to the standard dialysate temperature (37°C). Hemodialysis is a critical life-saving procedure, but complications such as intradialytic hypotension can lead to session interruptions and increased morbidity and mortality. This study is the first, to our knowledge, to specifically examine the benefits of cooler dialysate in a hypotensive ESRD population, with the goal of improving hemodynamic stability during dialysis sessions. Design: Parallel group, double blind, randomised controlled trial Settings and conduct: Conducted in a tertiary care hospital, the study ensures blinding of participants, healthcare providers, data collectors, and outcome assessors through concealed temperature settings. The design aims to minimize bias and assess the impact of cooler dialysate on intradialytic hypotension Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria: Patients from both genders between 18 and 60 years old who were on twice weekly HD and had hypotension were included. Patients with thyroid disease, anaemia, and taking anti-hypertensive medications were excluded. Intervention groups: Cooler dialysate temperature (35.5°C) on hemodynamic stability in hypotensive patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, compared to the standard dialysate temperature (37°C). Main outcome variables: This double-blind, randomized trial assesses the impact of cooler dialysate (35.5°C) versus standard dialysate (37°C) on hemodynamic stability in hypotensive ESRD patients during hemodialysis.

Aerobic exercise and inspiratory muscle training will be performed for 5-15 minutes, involving three sets with 10 repititions and a rest interval of 1-2 minute with threshold strength instruments. At the end of session stretching will be performed for 5-10 minutes. The treatment group will perform the same physical exercises routine as the control group, with additional upper limb resistance exercise in three sets with 10 repititions with rest interval of 1-2 minutes between each sets which will be followed by message therapy Main outcome variables: • Modified Borg Scale • Stethoscope • 6 min. walk test • QoL questionnaire • Dynamometer

Study aim: The aim of this study is to associate the effects of the ELDOA versus the (PFS) Post Facilitation Stretching technique to treat symptoms of Quadratus lumborum tightness affecting functional performance in (NSLBP) non-specific LBP patients. Design: A Randomized Clinical Trials (Quantitative Study) Settings and conduct: Participants of LBP were selected from the Outdoor Patient Department of Madina Teaching Hospital Faisalabad and Allied Hospital Faisalabad. It was of 4 months duration for the study to be completed after the approval of the synopsis. Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria • 18 to 35 years adult • Both males and females • Study participants who are willing to take part • Participants having 3 to 7 scores on NPRS • No recent surgery in the past six months Exclusion criteria • No leg symptoms in the last week • Any Neurological disorders • Patients who have undergone back, pelvis, hip, or knee surgery within the preceding six months, as well as those with any history of lower limb fractures • Pregnancy (All trimesters) • Any medical condition contraindicatory to physical activity Intervention groups: Participants were screened through the selection criteria and were recruited into the study. The patients signed informed consent forms subsequent to subjects, which were randomly allocated into different groups. The participants were separated into two groups, both of which were part of the experimental condition, and depending upon the group allocation, the treatment plan's sequence and scheduled period were provided to the patients. Measurements were taken at baseline before treatment protocol and after the treatment performed at the end of 2nd week. There were three sessions per week for two weeks, i.e. six sessions. Main outcome variables: • Pain, ROM, Tightness, Disability
