Abstract

Evisceration or enucleation of the eye may be performed due to ocular injury, cosmetic deformity, infection or malignancy. After the surgical management, orbital implants can be placed to improve the cosmetic appearance, improve the motility of the scleral shell prosthesis and restore the loss of orbital volume. Various type of orbital implants are available amongst which, the acrylic orbital implant has gained popularity, over the years, due to its limited complications. The following case report represents a 26 year old patient who underwent enucleation and had an existing scleral shell prosthesis. His chief concern was the motility of the prosthesis. The prosthetic rehabilitation was done with the help of an Acrylic Orbital implant and a customized scleral shell prosthesis.

Abstract

The most appropriate way of identifying the categories of healthcare waste is by sorting the waste into colorcoded plastic bags or containers.2,3 Since early recovery of patients and health of clinical staff directly depends on a clean and hygienic environment, excellent hygiene practices in health care facilities are the prerequisite for good medical waste management 8 Objective: Aim of this study is to see effectiveness of segregation practiced in the hospital and establish a monitoring system to monitor deficiencies in segregation. Method: This cross sectional study conducted during the period of June to August 2012 in a tertiary care Hospital. Eighty Two (82) areas were identified as BMW generation area. As per the norms segregation was done in four different color coded containers. So, total segregation containers will be 82X4=328. Any mix up or wrong segregation will be noted in the register daily by the Infection Control Nurse. A Monthly report based on BMW Register was developed. Results: The index named as Bio-Medical Waste Segregation Deficiency index (BMWSD index). calculated as number of deficiencies found in a area/areas divided by the possible number of deficiencies can occur in that area/areas. Daily data then entered into the Monthly report and monthly BMWSD index was made. Though this is a continuous process, for this study three months data (June, July and August 2012) were taken for analysis. Discussion: In this Cross sectional study, it was found that there was a over all deterioration in segregation of BMW when compare to June, July and August reports. The areas with high BMWSD index or where segregation is poor will be reflected through this monitoring system. Conclusion: This BMWSD index can be used as an indicator of Infection control Practice. This report is to identify the deficiency areas in the entire hospital in BMW segregation, which can be used for analysis and planning for better BMW Management like, training of the staffs of particular units, modification in methods etc.

Abstract

Background: Football has been growing considerably for the past decade in India. Many young adults have taken up football as their passion. However, the grounds are underdeveloped with limited number of facilities required for a safe game. Coaching facilities are inadequate and thus fail to provide basic information about the precautions to be taken during play or the necessary steps to be taken post injury. This leads to increased risk of injuries. Groin injuries comprise of 10-18% of all football injuries. Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the effects of open and CKC exercises on groin injuries in young adults who play football for recreation. Pain Assessment, Tenderness assessment and MMT were used for assessing the individuals. Method: There were total 40 subjects who were willing participants of this study of which 3 dropped out. This was a study conducted to find the effects of open and CKC exercises on groin injuries in young adults who play football for recreation. Here we evaluated the pain using VAS and tenderness grading. Muscle strength was assessed using MMT. Result: There was a significant effect of open and CKC exercises on groin injuries. There was a reduction of pain; both on activity as well as on resistance(p=0.0065 and 0.0235) respectively. Tenderness was also less (p= 0.0130). Muscle strength did not show any significant change (p= 0.1775) Conclusion: There is a significant effect of OKC and CKC exercises being administered together rather than giving only CKC exercises on reducing pain and reducing the risk of injuries in recreational football players.

Abstract

Circuit trainingaddresses both the components of exercise i.e. strength and aerobic which can be administered to participants in a playful manner. As the large number of children will have to gather at one place for the intervention, so it will be beneficial for the therapist also to conduct the session by incorporating them into small groups. Very few have shown the effects of circuit training in hemophilia Therefore it becomes necessary to provide an exercise regimen to children which will be interesting to perform in order to improve their general fitness level. Methodology: Forty nine participants were selected and screened and were allocated into 7 groups. The intervention was given for 4 weeks period, once a day for 7min with 50 sec for exercise and 10 sec to move from one station to the next. Pre and Post parameters were assessed forVAS for fatigue and Subjective Exercise Experience Scale. Results: Data was analyzed using Graph-Pad InStat software version-trial version 3.03. The statistical measures utilized were mean, standard deviation and test of significance such as Paired‘t’ test to analyze the data. The results were concluded to be statistically significant with p <0.05 and highly significant with p < 0.01. Conclusion: The present study concludes that the circuit training is effective in hemophilic children as its multipronged approach improves various body systems.
