The technique requires the participant to communicate with a series of activities that help the bodyto understand the primary behaviour and learn how to coordinate the brain and entire body. Brain Gymactivities includes of 26 basic motions, which are believed to improve perception and stimulates brainhemisphere by neural re-modelling to facilitate whole brain learning. By ways of balancing both the side ofbrain, behavioral difficulties, social and intellectual burdens are expected to be reduced.Aims and Objective: This study aims to evaluate the psychological perception and decrease depression inthe undergraduate physiotherapy students.Method: Here’s a idea we suggest to check the psychological perception with brain gym interventionand the duration for practices comprises of three days a week session, duration of 25 minutes, which iscompleted in one hour.

<![CDATA[Giant cell tumour forms 4 percent - 5 percent of all bone tumours & 20 percent of all benign bonetumours. It is responsible for 20 percent of bone tumours in China. It is usually single , aggressive locally& accounts for 5 percent of metastasis & 1 percent - 3 percent with malignant changes. Most commonlyit is found in people aged 30 to 40 years and in the long bones mainly the meta-epiphyseal region. It is most commonly affects the distal femur , distal radius , proximal tibia and proximal humerus.But the occurrence in the distal humerus is rare. A 50 year old male patient who came with complaintsof pain and swelling over right elbow since 3 years. Patient gave history of trauma to right elbow ashe met with a road traffic accident. After few days patient noticed swelling which was insidious inonset and gradually kept increasing in size. Patient also had pain in right elbow which was insidiousin onset and increased in severity daily. Pain was managed with total elbow arthroplasty and elbowrange of motion improved after the surgery. Patient was managed with total elbow arthroplastyand wide resection of tumour which has good functional outcomes , less complications and lowerrecurrences rates. Patient was followed up at 18 – month and free range of motion of 10º to 110ºwithout pain along with no proof of reoccurrence was noted .]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Intrahospital transport means transporting ill patients for diagnostic and therapeutic procedureswith in the hospital. Implementation of intrahospital transfer demands a well organized meticulous planningand prompt application of well designed plan.Objectives: To compare intrahospital transportation practices and occurrence of mishaps during intrahospitaltransport before and after administration of hospital transport guidelines and to determine the associationwith situational variables (level of floors and distance of destination)Methods: Quasi experimental one group pre test post test design was used in the study by event sampling.55 pre test transport and 62 post test events were selected. IHT guidelines was given to nurses working inoperation theater by using demonstration cum lecture technique, one on one teaching provided to individualnurse consecutively. Observational technique was used for data collection Result showed that the meanpercentage of intrahospital practice were higher(89.37%) then pre test (40.03) with a mean difference of49.33. Computed t value (t=37.46,p=0.000) was statistically significant .Chi square value of occurrenceof mishaps regarding intrahospital transport is(X2 =53.9,p=0.001) statistically significant F value betweentransportation practices with distance from OT were(f=1.68,p=0.16) and Computed t value practices withlevel of floor were (t=1.60,p=0.39) statistically not significant at 0.05 level of significance. ConclusionIntrahospital transportation guidelines are effective in reducing mishaps and increases transportationpractices.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Neonatal sepsis is classified into two types, early-onset and late-onset sepsis, depending onthe time of appearance of the clinical features of neonatal sepsis.Objective: We aim to detect the most common causative organisms of neonatal sepsis and to evaluate thecorresponding antibiotics susceptibility in the Diyala governorate.Patients and Methods: We prospectively collected a convenient sample of 106 sepsis-proven neonatesfrom the neonatal intensive care unit at Al-Batool teaching hospital. We assessed all cases based on clinicalfeatures, laboratory investigations, and demographics.Results: Late-onset neonatal sepsis was predominant (77.4%) among neonates, and it was significantlyassociated with neonatal prematurity and the mode of delivery at p-values of 0.03 and 0.045 respectively.Premature neonates and those who were the product of cesarean section were more prone to developlate-onset neonatal sepsis with a relative risk of 2.8 and 2.54 respectively. The most common causativemicroorganism of early-onset neonatal sepsis was found to be Escherichia coli in 45.8% of cases whilethose causing late-onset neonatal sepsis were mainly due to Gram-negative bacilli represented by Klebsiellapneumonia (46.3%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (24.4%). Multi-drug resistance was evident for most ofthe causative microorganisms.Conclusion: To recapitulate, late-onset sepsis appeared was more common among Iraqi neonates, and it wassignificantly associated with the neonate prematurity and C-section mode of delivery.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Well nourished newborn is a reflection of adequate placental function.The umbilical cordthat connects fetus and placenta can attach itself to placenta at different placenta.The incidence of central,eccentric, marginal and velamentous cord insertion is 18%,73%, 7% and 1-2%, respectively. This insertiontype significantly influences fetal growth and pregnancy outcomes.Methodology: This study was conducted in Department of Anatomy of SBKS MIRC, Vadodara. This was acomparative study between normotensive and hypertensive group in which 500 subjects, in each group wereincluded. Insertion of umbilical cord on placentawas determined and fetal growth and outcome with type ofinsertion were correlated.Results: The two groups were comparable in terms of demographics.Higher proportion of those inhypertensive group had marginal insertion of umbilical cord (23.40%) as compared to 2.90% in normotensivegroup. Mean systolic (150.10±7.51mmHg) as well as diastolic blood pressure (91.23±4.00mmHg) washigher in those with marginal insertion of placenta. Mean fetal birth weight and APGAR score at birth and 5minute and proportion of fetus reaching full term, live births were low in those in those in the hypertensivegroup especially in those with marginal insertion of placenta.Conclusion: Thus it can be concluded that abnormal attachment of umbilical cord on placenta has significantimpact on fetal growth and influences the outcomes of pregnancy directly and indirectly]]>

<![CDATA[Background– Identification is fixation of an individuality by various physical and biological parameters.An individual’s age determination is very important in various civil and criminal medicolegal cases. Ageestimation by cranial sutures closure is an old method. This study was conducted to analyze closure oflambdoid and squamous sutures for age estimation in living individuals by CT scan.Objectives– To study the pattern of closure of lambdoid and squamous sutures with relation to age ofperson. To detect bilateral and bisexual variations in same.Materials & Methods–We had done a descriptive cross-sectional study by CT scan head of 130 living adultpersons and analyzed them for closure status of lambdoid and squamous sutures in co-relation to age.Results– In Lambdoid suture complete closure observed 5yrs earlier in upper 2/3rd(L1&L2) parts of rightside than left side in both sex while while complete closure observed very late ages(>75yrs) or not atall(lapsed union) in lower 1/3rd(L3) part. Both sides of Squamous sutures follow more or less same patternfor closure in relation to age and sex while complete closure observed at very late ages(>75yrs) or not atall(lapsed union).Conclusion– Closure of Lambdoid and Squamous sutures should be used only as corroborative to othercriteria and evidences for age estimation as they might be unreliable as standalone until proven otherwise.]]>
