Effect of Tele-Rehabilitation on Low Back Pain, Fatigue, and Psychological Well-being in Postpartum Women Following C-Section

The goal of this study is to learn whether tele-rehabilitation helps postpartum women recover from low back pain after a cesarean section (C-section). The study will also look at whether tele-rehabilitation helps reduce fatigue, improve psychological well-being, and make daily activities easier. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does tele-rehabilitation reduce low back pain in postpartum women after a C-section? * Does it reduce postpartum fatigue? * Does it improve psychological well-being? * Does it improve the ability to perform daily activities? Participants will: * Be selected using a computer-generated random sampling method from eligible postpartum women. * Complete assessments before and after the treatment program. * Receive therapeutic exercises and ergonomic education through tele-rehabilitation if assigned to the intervention group. * Receive ergonomic education about posture, breastfeeding, lifting, carrying, and back care if assigned to the control group. * Complete questionnaires about their pain, fatigue, psychological well-being, and ability to perform daily activities. The study may help determine whether tele-rehabilitation is a practical way to provide physiotherapy support to women recovering at home after a C-section.

Multicomponent Training on Functional and Cognitive Performance of Hospitalized Older People

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a multicomponent physical exercise program improves functional and cognitive capacity in hospitalized older adults compared to the usual hospital care. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a multicomponent physical exercise program improve functional and cognitive capacity? * Is there a difference between a multicomponent physical exercise program and usual care regarding functional and cognitive outcomes after an acute hospitalization? Researchers will compare a multicomponent physical exercise program (containing strength, balance, and walking exercises) to the usual care of the hospital to see if the program is better at maintaining or enhancing functional and cognitive outcomes Participants will: * Participate in multicomponent physical exercise program or receive usual care. The multicomponent group will complete the program daily for the entire hospitalization period; * Perform functional and cognitive tests at the beginning and end of hospitalization; * Be contacted by researchers 3, 6, and 12 months after hospital discharge.

Occupational Therapy and Registered Dietitian Services to Reduce Fall Risk Among Home Delivered Meal Clients

The purpose of this study is to determine which of the following four service models is most effective for reducing fall risk among home-delivered meal clients: (1) meals alone, (2) meals + registered dietitian services, (3) meals + occupational therapy services, (4) meals + registered dietitian + occupational therapy services.

Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly-Extension (ASPREE-XT)

ASPREE-XT is a post-treatment, longitudinal observational follow-up study of ASPREE participants. Although the ASPREE trial medication was ceased, the study activity was not stopped and ASPREE participants are continuing with scheduled visits and phone calls. An observational follow-up phase (ASPREE-XT), began in January, 2018. This will enable the monitoring of possible delayed effects of aspirin treatment, primarily on cancer incidence, metastases and mortality. In addition to monitoring the incidence of malignancy within the ASPREE cohort, the opportunity will be taken to observe any other residual effects of aspirin on the endpoints being monitored in the cohort. Continuity of contact with study participants is the key to retention of the cohort for any ongoing or future studies.
