<![CDATA[Introduction: Distal femur fractures in the supracondylar region accounts for approximately seven per centof all femur fractures and are very challenging to manage. These fractures occurs majorly due to severegrade of injury in young age groups and low grade injury in geriatric people with significant soft tissueinjury with joint surface involvement and is bimodally distributed.Material and Method: This prospective study consisted of 45 patients of supracondylar femur fracturesurgically managed by locking plate osteosynthesis in Department of Orthopaedics at our institute withinthe study period of 2 years from June 2016 to June 2018. Functional outcome was measured using Neer’sscoring. Patient were followed up regular intervals of 12 weeks and last follow up was done at the end of 1year.Results: 45 patients were studied i.e 36 males and 9 females with a mean age of 45.46±17.55SD years.Road accident was the most common cause of injury (71.1%),AO classification was used to classify fractureconfiguration and most common was type “33 C3” (26.67%). 39 patients (86.66%) were treated with distalfemur locking plate osteosynthesis and 6 patients (13.33%) with external fixation which was later convertedinto plate osteosynthesis after infection control. Knee stiffness (17.78%) was a common complication andshortening was seen in 6 patients (13.33%). Neer’s scoring was used to calculate outcome of patients inwhich 31(68.89%) patients had excellent to good outcome, 9 patients had fair and 5 patients had pooroutcome.Conclusion: Distal femoral locking plate can be considered as a suitable choice for achieving adequatefixation in distal femoral fractures as there was significant progressive increase in Neer’s outcome scores inmajority cases]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Home visiting is a service offered to pregnant mothers, children from birth to eight years oldand their families in their homes. Home visits were found to enhance parenting, school readiness and health.Review of Home Visiting’s history indicates that home visitors’ roles and responsibilities have changed withthe passage of time. Today’s emphasis on family rather than individual, and on family control rather than adirective style means home visitors need more expertise, experience and versatility than ever before.Objectives: Short term- To enhance students learning experience by using role play.Intermediates: To develop innovative teaching learning approaches.Long Term:1. Using innovation in the health care settings by future nursing educators.2. Apply skills in Futuristic Research.Material and Method: Presents study is descriptive study conducted among 80 Students of Basic B.Sc.Nursing 2nd year by using non probability convenient sampling technique. The Checklist OSCE and feedbackform was selected as tool for data collection.Result: The mean score of Role play group is 9.32 and Non role play group 6.27 the essential skills areincreased with use of role play. The comparison between two groups shows that calculated value is morethan table value tcal = 16.51 and t tab = 1.98 p=0.0001 p<0.05 hence it is significant.The Major: The analysis of the data of the study samples gives an idea about the general information abouteffectiveness if using role play.Conclusion: After the detail analysis of the study, following conclusions were drawn. They require newinnovative teaching learning interactive method to enhance their knowledge and create more interest inlearning.]]>

<![CDATA[Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of at least three of these-Abdominal (central) obesity, Elevated bloodpressure, Elevated fasting plasma glucose, High serum triglycerides and Low high-density lipoprotein (HDL)levels. In recent years, there is an alarming increase in metabolic syndrome. The overall prevalence rate ofmetabolic syndrome is 33.5%. It is 24.9% in males and 42.3% in females. The terminology ‘Metabolicsyndrome’ represents its relation with metabolism. It can be said that disequilibrium of metabolism causesmetabolic syndrome. The word metabolism can be correlated with ‘concept of Agni’ described in Ayurvedabecause entire range of digestive and metabolic activities of the body take place with the help of the biologicalfire of the body called Agni. This study was conducted to explore the nidan (Etiological factors) of metabolicsyndrome based on basic concepts of Ayurveda and it suggest to think about overcoming mental stress (asone of the prominent etiological factor) while managing Metabolic syndrome.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of upper trapezius muscle stretching andmedian nerve mobilization on median nerve extensibility.Design: A randomized controlled trial. Participants: 80 healthy participants with mean age range () wererandomized to two groups who received trapezius muscle stretching & median nerve mobilization.Outcome Measures: Right and left Elbow Extension Deficit Angle (EEDA) in degrees.Intervention: Passive stretching of upper trapezius was done 4 times per week, 3 repetitions, 30 sec holdbilaterally. Median nerve mobilization was done 4 times per week, 3 sets of 10 cycles each; 30 sec rest inbetween bilaterally. Supervised self stretching and nerve mobilization was done 3 times per week, withnumber of hold and repetitions being the same.Results: Baseline characteristics including demographic, anthropomorphic and EEDA between groupswere comparable. Intragroup comparison of right and left Elbow Extension Deficit Angle (EEDA) weredone using Repeated Measure Multivariate ANOVA. Inter group comparison was done using post hoc testBonferroni. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05.Conclusion: The study concludes that Upper trapezius muscle stretching is effective in improving mediannerve extensibility. Both treatment techniques are equally effective.]]>
