Abstract

Background : Badminton requires a specific physical conditioning in terms of motor and action controls; coordinative variables such as reaction time, foot stepping and static or dynamic balances, which are essential motor demands in this sport. Therefore, badminton players need enough core strength and a high level of dynamic balance during the rapid postural movements around the court. Objectives : To study the effect of core strengthening and to study the effect of conditioning program on badminton beginners Methodology : 25 players, aged between 12-19 years were given core strengthening and conditioning protocol for 4 weeks. Players were assessed at 0, 2nd and 4th week through 60 degree curl up test and modified Sorensen test. Results : statistically significant difference was seen in pre and post treatment values of the 2 tests. In 60 degree curl up test at 0 week p=, 2nd week p= and 4th week p= and in modified Sorensen test at 0 week p=, 2nd week p= and 4th week p= Conclusion : players showed improvement in their core strength after 4 weeks of core training.

Abstract

Background: Silent liver disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the population due to its silent progression to end stage liver disease without significant symptoms. We aim to study pattern of pathological findings and latent forms of diseases in the 100 liver autopsy specimen and to find clinicopathological correlation between clinical diagnosis and pathological diagnosis wherever possible. Method: The present study was conducted on 100 liver autopsy specimens received in the department of Pathology, Govt. Medical College, Patiala. Sections from representative areas were submitted for processing, sectioned and stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin stain. Results: Out of 100 specimens, 38 cases (38%) showed hepatic steatosis, followed by cirrhosis 14 cases(14%), chronic venous congestion 13 (13%) cases, portal triaditis 12 (12%) cases, normal 12 (12%) cases , hepatitis 8 (8%) cases , granulomatous/ tuberculosis pathology 2 (2%) cases and 1(1%)metastatic deposits of carcinoid tumour. Maximum cases seen in age group of 41-50 years with mean age 39.92±12.68 years. Liver disease predominated in males with male:female ratio of 6:1. Conclusion: Silent liver diseases are not uncommon. Autopsy examination of liver is very helpful to identify silent liver diseases like hepatic steatosis, cirrhosis, venous congestion and malignant tumours.

Abstract

Background: Evaluating patients who have sustained blunt abdominal trauma remains one of the most challenging and resource-intensive aspects of acute trauma care.6,7 The objective of this dissertation is to analyse the pattern of fatal abdominal injuries secondary to blunt force impact. Aim: The aim of this research is to analyze the pattern of fatal abdominal injuries secondary to blunt force impact Materials and Method: Detailed observations for 38 autopsies with evidence of fatal abdominal trauma during the period October 2014 to July 2016 were carried out. Routine information like age, sex, occupation brief facts of the cases collected from the inquest report. Clinical history like time of admission, and deaths and other relevant data was collected from the hospital case sheets and death summaries. Results: Analysis involves 38 autopsies with evidence of fatal abdominal trauma during the period October 2014 to July 2016. The most common age group involved was between 21-30 years of age comprising 26% of total 38 cases followed by the age group of 11-20 years comprising 21% of total cases. The most common cause of blunt fatal abdominal trauma was vehicular accident seen in 84% of cases. In 38 cases, it was found that 24 cases (63%) were dead on arrival. Amongst 32 vehicular accidents, a total of 21 pedestrians (66%) were killed in 38 fatal blunt abdominal trauma cases. Liver was the organ mainly affected in fatal blunt abdominal trauma followed by pelvic trauma and kidney. Haemorrhage accounted for the largest number of cases (94.74%). Conclusion: The present study emphasizes the need for adopting measures to prevent morbidity and mortality resulting from blunt abdominal trauma.
