Abstract

Background: Cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality .Breast cancer is the most commonform of cancer among women. Many breast cancer surgeries leads to dissection of muscles and soft tissuestructures. After the breast cancer treatment many complications are seen in breast cancer survivors. Inthat myofascial dysfunctions are common. These dysfunctions are one of the common sources of pain anddiscomfort. Not only pain but this dysfunction also leads to decreased range of motion, decreased strength,and altered posture. Because of dysfunctions, an upper body function decreases and affects the activity ofdaily living. Graded theraband exercises are effective in improving muscle strength and shoulder range ofmotion in breast cancer survivors. And also helps to enhance functional capacity. Early rehabilitation can beimplanted to reduce pain, improve strength and flexibility which will be helpful in minimize restrictions indaily living activities and improve quality of life. This effectiveness study will help to enlighten the status ofmyofascial dysfunctions in breast cancer survivors. The objectives of the study were as follows: To find outthe effect of graded theraband exercise on myofascial dysfunctions in breast cancer survivors.Methods: A total 40 females who underwent breast cancer surgeries along with chemotherapy or radiotherapyor hormone therapy, were included based on inclusion criteria. All the females received thera- bandexercises along with medications for five days per week and pre and post assessment was done with manualmuscle testing (MMT), shoulder range of motion (ROM), and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)questionnaire.Result: The result concluded that strengthening with thera-band showed better effect in the breast cancersurvivors. Strengthening exercise program with resistance band showed significant improvement in theshoulder strength, ROM and activities of daily life.

Abstract

Background: The suprameatal triangle is used for approaching the tympanic cavity and also it is an importantlandmark for otologic surgeons during mastoidectomy.Aim: To determine the depth of sigmoid sinus plate over the Macewan’s triangle by morphometry of variousanatomical landmarks.Materials & Methods: The study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Penang InternationalDental College & VMKV Medical College, Salem on 30 dry human adult skulls. Five landmarks (D1,D2, D3, D4, D5 and D6) were taken on the left and right sides of the skulls and the imaginary lines wereconstructed and measured by Vernier caliper between the landmarks.Results: The measurement of D2 showed statistically significant differences. The correlations of D1, D3,D4, D5 and D6 on both sides do not show any significant differences. The linear correlation equations werederived using the measurements for predicting D6.Conclusion: The depth of sigmoid sinus plate (D6) can be assessed using D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 on lateralview of head & neck X-rays which can be used by Otologist during mastoidectomy to avoid severe bleedingcomplications from sigmois sinus.

Abstract

Background: Diastasis Recti is very common in women after pregnancy. Diastasis recti among womenshould be treated as soon as possible as it may cause various musculoskeletal dysfunctions. A digital caliperis a tool for assessing diastasis recti in postpartum women. It is a simple, fast, and reliable assessment toolfor assessing diastasis recti. Objective: The objective of the study is to find the prevalence of Diastasis Rectiin Primipara and Multipara undergone full-term normal delivery and to compare the prevalence of diastasisrecti in the both of the groups Method: This study will be carried out in Physiotherapy OPD, Ravi NairPhysiotherapy College and AVBRH, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha. Diastasis recti will be evaluated in fullterm normal delivery females. Diastasis recti will be compared in primipara and multipara using a digitalcaliper. Results: The result of the study will be estimated by the statistical analysis of the data and will bediscussed after the study is completed.Conclusion: After going through various studies, many studies haveindicated that the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis is commonly seen in multipara undergone cesareansection delivery. Very few studies indicate the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis in primipara and alsowomen underwent full-term normal delivery. Therefore, the current study is carried outreach a conclusion tofind whether there is any discrepancy of the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis between primipara andmultipara in females undergone full-term normal delivery.

Abstract

Background: Dermatoglyphics is one the vital tool which helps to predict many systemic diseases includingoral problems. Dental caries seems to be a major problem overall the globe. The best way to manage thiscondition is only early diagnosis.Aim: This study aims to assess whether dermatoglyphics effective in predicting dental caries.Materials and Method: A systematic review of controlled trials was performed. The data were handsearched using electronic databases and the 328 number of articles were screened. The intervention andoutcomes were assessed in the study included for systematic review. The bias assessment of the articles wasdone by using Newcastle Ottowa scale.Results: Seventeen cross-sectional studies were included in our systematic reviews. Of that sixteen articleswere found to be statistically significant, but further studies should be done in other countries to prove theassociation between dermatoglyphic pattern and dental caries.Conclusion: The pattern of dermatoglyphics was found to be very effective in predicting dental caries andthereby prevent the caries formation at an incipient stage.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke survivors have limited everyday living tasks, often because of dexterous issues.Videogame-based training (VBT) with the appearance of virtual reality helps to improve the role of theupper limbs. The leap Motion controller can track both hands and fingers’ fine movements. The studiesthus demonstrates the efficacy of the leap motion system on gross hand dexterity in patients with sub-acutestroke.Method: The research has been designed as an experimental study. The total of 40 participants will be takenfrom AVBRH, sawangi Meghe for study as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. With intervention the spanof the study will be 6 months. Leap Motion-based, augmented reality training will be provided to patientsfor half hour, every single day, Five days of the week a month. Pre and post, box and block test and Systemusability scale will be taken. Those two will be the patient’s major outcome.Discussion:-This study protocol aims to assess the efficacy of the leap motion controller on the rehabilitationof gross hand dexterity in patients with stroke. The study’s expected outcome will concentrate on theevaluation of the usability of VBT using the Leap Motion Controller (LMC) to train gross hand dexterity instroke patients’ early recovery process.

Abstract

Hydatid cysts disease is an important public health problem and economic losses especially at developingcountries such, Iraq. A study of incidence of hydatidosis in sheep and cattle, which are slaughtered foodanimals, was carried out at different areas of Baghdad province outside the government abattoirs, duringa period of 18 months from November 2016 to May 2018. Both slaughtered livestock animals (sheep andcattle) which are local breed of both sexes, they are of difference areas in boundary at Baghdad city, and withages having non descriptive features. Hand palpation and visual inspection were followed in this study. Atotal , 2594 carcasses were examined comprising 1632 sheep and 962 cattle, from these 33, 11 ( sheep andcattle) respectively were found to harbour the cysts, recording percentages of (2.0%, 1.1%) respectively. Thepredominant location cysts at the liver (48.4%, 45.4% ) in sheep and cattle respectively, next by the lungs ,in sheep and cattle (39.3%, 36.3%) respectively. Next to the mixed organs (liver + lung), the incidence was(18.1%) in cattle and (9.0%) in sheep. The percentage of cysts in heart of sheep was (3.0%) but in cattle itwas (0%) Zero. The results revealed that fertile cysts only, were present in sheep with (87.8%) fertility. Cystsin the organs ranged(1-13,2-7) in sheep and cattle respectively. It can be observed that , sheep play a majorrole for distributions the disease. Suggestive control measures and public health hazard were mentioned.
