Introduction: Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) involves using clean absorbents, maintaining body hygiene, and practicing safe disposal methods. This study aimed to compare the knowledge and MHM practices of adolescent school girls from an urban and a slum area in Delhi. Methods: The study included 85 and 168 girls aged 13-18 years from an urban and a slum area school of Delhi respectively. Information was gathered using a pre-designed, pre-tested and structured questionnaire with 12 questions related to the knowledge about menstruation and MHM practices. Results: 92.9% of urban and 85.7% of slum area school girls knew menstruation as a physiological process whereas 3.5% of urban school girls were unaware of the cause of menstruation compared to13.7% of the slum area school girls(p=0.01). All girls identified sanitary pads as their ideal absorbent, and 100% of the participants used them. Satisfactory cleaning practices were 31.8% in urban area verses 4.8% in slum area school girls. (p = 0.0001). 95.3% of urban and 92.8% of slum area school girls were disposing pads in routine waste. Conclusion: The study found significant differences in menstrual knowledge and MHM practices between urban and slum area school girls, with urban girls reporting comparatively better knowledge as well as MHM practices. Both the group of girls reported 100% usage of sanitary pads, but improper disposal practices need attention. Proper disposal facilities in schools are recommended to prevent environmental pollution.

Introduction: Vitamin D is essential for the healthy development and maintenance of bones, particularly in childhood and adolescence. We aimed to figure out the vitamin D concentrations among children who were 4 to 15 years and came to health check-up clinics of a private hospital in Yangon. Methods: This is a retrospective record review study over 1 year which included a total of 99 well children aged 4 to15 years. We collected demographic and clinical details as well as blood samples including (25 (OH) D and alkaline phosphatase. For statistical analysis, we applied IBM SPSS 25.0. Results: Among 99 participants, 43 (43.4%) were found to have vitamin D deficiency. The average serum 25 (OH) D level among all subjects was 21.77±7.03 ng/mL, while those with deficiency had an average level of 15.53±3.32 ng/mL. Notably, a higher percentage of obese children, 10 out of 16 (62.5%) were affected with vitamin D deficiency. There was a statistically significant age difference between the vitamin D deficient group (mean age 10.07±3.16 years) and their sufficient counterparts (mean age 7.70±2.71 years). Conclusions: A significant incidence of vitamin D deficiency was detected among healthy children. It appears to escalate with age, implying an inverse relationship between age and vitamin D levels. The association between low serum 25 (OH) D and obesity in children underscores the significance of dietary pattern, lifestyle modification, and sunlight exposure in attaining optimal vitamin D levels. These measures may lessen the risk of multiple disease states related to low vitamin D.

Introduction: Due to the high prevalence of Fe deficiency in human populations, especially in developing nations, increasing Fe concentration in cereal crops is a major global challenge. Biofortification of cereals such as wheat with Fe is an attractive approach that can significantly compensate for Fe malnutritionand human health issues. Under nutrient imbalance circumstances, bio-fertilizers have been reported to play a vital role in plant development. Aims/Objectives: The current study was designed to evaluate the potential of PGPR to be used as bio-fertilizers and appraised their capability to enhance plant growth, quality and nutrient content, in combination with Fe treatment to combat malnutrition. Methodology: PGPR were screened for auxin producing ability and biochemically characterized for various growth promoting attributes. Fe in various combinations with PGPR was applied in soil and as foliar spray to the plants. Various growth and biochemical parameters were recorded. Wheat leaves were subjected to atomic absorption spectrometric (AAS) analysis. Results: Five bacteria with maximum auxin production potential were selected as bio-fertilizers. 36% improvement in fresh weight was recorded in Pseudomonas sp.(FS2) inoculations in the presence of 100µg/ml Fe under laboratory conditions, whereas, in wire house setup, plants supplemented with Jeotgalicoccus aerolatus (Tr3)exhibitedremarkable elevation in sugar content 298% with 100µg/ml foliar application of Fe. Data obtained from AAS showed that plants treated with Burkholderia cepacia (FS1) and Proteus mirabilis (Pc3) exhibited 2.17 and 2.28 ppm Fe content as a result of soil and foliar spray of 200µg/ml Fe respectively. Conclusion: Foliar application of Fe along with bio-fertilizers has proven to be a practical approach to improve grain quality and Fe content. Hence, biofortification of cereal crops with micronutrients and bio-fertilizers can assure a sustainable, eco-friendly and cost-effective solution to cure malnutrition and food security in developing countries.

Introduction: Shoulder pain involves one of the impairments of posterior shoulder tightness.The posterior shoulder tightness can be determined by measuring shoulder horizontal adduction, also by internal rotation and low flexion range of motion and extension.There are several conditions which contribute to posterior shoulder tightness -rotator cuff tendinopathy, impingement, adhesive capsulitis and labral lesions.It has been found out that muscles like deltoid and rotator cuff also contribute to posterior shoulder tightness, so stretching the capsule as well as muscles, along with the conventional treatment will help in restoration of normal range of motion at the shoulder joint. Aim:The aim of the study is to see the effect of muscle energy technique and cross body stretch in patients with shoulder pain for improving the posterior shoulder tightness and pain and to compare the effects of both the techniques. Methodology:The study was conducted on 65 subjects who were diagnosed with rotator cuff related shoulder pain, adhesive capsulitis, labral lesions and who met the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.Subjects were divided into 2 groups, Group 1 subjects received Muscle Energy Technique along with the conventional treatment and group 2 subjects received Cross-Body Stretch along with the conventional treatment.Outcome measures were shoulder horizontal adduction range of motion via a goniometer and pain on numeric pain rating scale.Result: Data was collected at the baseline and at the end of 4 weeks intervention for both the groups.The data collected was check for normality.For normally distributed data, paired t-test was applied for shoulder horizontal range of motion (p-value>0.231) and Mann-Whitney test is applied for pain (p>0.608). Conclusion:Both the types of techniques were equally effective for treating posterior shoulder tightness.

Introduction: As per international guidelines the P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, ticagrelor or prasugrel is recommended over clopidogrel for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Aims: To determine the effectiveness and safety of Prasugrel versus ticagrelor in patients with ACS/AMI (acute myocardial infarction) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through meta-analysis of clinical trials. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of randomized and non-randomized trials [with search results up to April 2023 in the following databases: PubMed (MEDLINE) and Google Scholar comparing prasugrel and ticagrelor in PCI-treated acute ACS/ AMI patients for the following: Composite of 1-year all-cause death, non-fatal MI, or stroke; Composite of 1-year cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, or stroke; and individual parameters (all-cause death, cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI and stroke) and major bleeding as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 to 5 bleeding (more severe bleeding) at 1-year. 4 studies met the metanalysis inclusion criteria. It was conducted on the data of a total of 10479 patients (5079 in the prasugrel group and 5400 ticagrelor group). Results: Prasugrel and ticagrelor have insignificant differences for the pooled relative risks of the following: composite of 1-year all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke 0.921 (95% CI, 0.719 to 1.181; p =0.518); composite of 1-year cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, or stroke 0.830 (95% CI, 0.598 to 1.152; p =0.265); BARC type 3 to 5 bleeding (more severe bleeding) at 1-year was 0.988 (95% CI, 0.774 to 1.262; p =0.924); individual parameters (all-cause death, cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke). There was either inconsistency/heterogeneity and minimal or no inconsistency/ heterogeneity for different parameters in the data. There was no publication bias for all trials. Conclusion: Prasugrel and ticagrelor have similar effects for their relative risks of the following; composite of 1-year all-cause death, non-fatal MI, or stroke; composite of 1-year cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, or stroke; and individual parameters and BARC type 3 to 5 bleeding at 1 year in patients with ACS/AMI undergoing PCI.

Bruxism is a condition characterized by excessive grinding and clenching of teeth especially during sleep, but symptoms can also occur during the day. Bruxism causes fatigue, feelings of sleeplessness, increased muscle tension and pain in the chewing muscle area. Despite its high prevalence in the adult population (it is believed to occur in up to one-third of people), we do not know the exact path of mechanism behind the disease, and treatment methods are not clearly defined. Treatment methods used include drug therapies, biofeedback, kinesitherapy, physiotherapy, intramuscular and intra-articular injections, psychological therapy, and treatment with intraoral devices. In addition, the exact diagnostic pathway and the way how to classify the severity of bruxism symptoms have not been determined. There is still no answer to the question of what procedure to introduce in a patient who is experiencing symptoms of bruxism despite full dental rehabilitation. The age at which treatment should begin also remains unclear. Further research is needed on the etiology of bruxism, as well as the development of uniform recommendations for diagnosis and therapy.

Introduction: Vestibular rehabilitation was first developed as a treatment for vestibular disorders but has also been used as a treatment for other causes of dizziness. Most patients with vestibular disorder initially visit a physician before being referred to a physiotherapist. There is a need to investigate the knowledge and attitudes of medical practitioners in India regarding the role and application of vestibular physiotherapy in clinical practice. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted for medical practitioners using a closed-ended questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of ten questions aimed at evaluating participants’ knowledge, attitudes, and referral practices regarding vestibular rehabilitation. Results: Out of the 402 responses received through online and offline forms, 283 medical practitioners reported treating patients with vestibular symptoms. Among those who were aware of the role of physiotherapists in vestibular rehabilitation, 61.4% recognized their involvement in treating peripheral vestibular disorders, while 38.6% acknowledged their role in rehabilitating central vestibular disorders. Interestingly, only 24.87% of medical practitioners referred vestibular cases to physiotherapists. Conclusion: There is a need to increase awareness among practitioners about the physiotherapist’s role in vestibular rehabilitation. Addressing this gap in understanding could lead to improved patient care and outcomes in managing vestibular disorders.
