A randomized comparison of effectiveness of modified constraint induced movement therapy versus conventional physiotherapy on upper-extremity dysfunction in the treatment of adult hemiplegia

This study is designed to compare the effectiveness of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Versus Conventional Physiotherapy for improving involved upper extremity movement efficiency in Adult Hemiplegic patients. To know the effectiveness of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on Upper Extremity dysfunction for management of Adult Hemiplegia. The study is carried out at the Vihar Hospital, Anand. 40 patients of adult hemiplegia were recruited into two groups after inform consent was taken from all patients. Group 1: Experimental group received Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT) which includes active/passive Mobility exercises, Muscle Stretching, Muscle Strengthening, Weight Bearing Exercises, Task-specific and Fine motor practice of affected upper limb. Group 2: control group received conventional physiotherapy which includes active/passive mobility exercises, muscle stretching, muscle strengthening, weight bearing exercises, throwing a ball, moving, transferring, reaching and manipulating an object with detailed evaluation including ARAT score were taken as a baseline as well as postoperatively after the 4th week of treatment. Both the groups showed clinically and statistically significant improvement in total ARAT score at 4-weeks. The total ARAT scores had improved by 38.10 % in the experimental group and by 20.61 % in the control group. Results of the study concluded that there was a significant improvement in both the groups; however the Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy group was more effective for improving involved upper extremity movement efficiency in patients of adult hemiplegia.

Effects of combined osmotic drying methods on quality characteristics of orange slice

Orange is a food with high content of healthy nutrients and it has great tradition and economic importance in Valencia. The development of new orange products would be a good way to promote the consumption of this fruit, improving the nutritional health of society. In this way, the osmotic dehydration (OD) has been widely used for conservation and design of new products from fruits. Orange slices have been osmotically dehydrated using as osmotic agents healthy sweeteners sucrose. Tray drying of orange slices was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, osmosis was carried out using three different concentrations of sugar solution (40%,50%,60%) with 1.5% potassium metabisulphite (KMS) at 600 c temperature were maintain for 16 hour. The combination of different samples was slightly increased with different storage period. The combined effect of solution temperature, sugar concentration and time of moisture loss was investigated by developing treatment combinations. It was found that relationship exists between moisture loss and solution temperature, sugar concentration and time. The final conditions of osmotic dehydration were determined on the basis of permissible moisture loss in orange slices and were found as 60% sugar solution concentration, 600c solution temperature and 16 hour time. The best process temperature was selected on the basis of statistical analysis of quality parameters, namely, rehydration ratio, dehydration ratio, sugar content, carbohydrate content, protein content fat content, ash content vitamin C content acid and sensory quality parameters(color ,texture taste, appearance, overall acceptability) and it was 600 C tray drying temperature requiring 16 hour drying time.

Effect of waviness in the bearing on the life of rotating element

Rotating structures or more general structures with constant but otherwise arbitrary velocity are important elements of machinery as rotor shafts and blades of the propellers, helicopters or the wind turbines. Vibrations in such structures require special attention. The vibrations may cause a reduction in the life cycle of the rotating elements. But it must be noted that some vibration frequencies can be acceptable for the rotating element to sustain its life cycle. Sometimes, the vibrations may not have any impact on the life of the rotating element. That is the reason this study is undertaken. This project intends to study the impact of vibrations on the life cycle of the rotating elements when the vibrations are due to waviness in the bearing. One of the main objectives of the project is to study the frequency at which the elements can be rotated with waviness in the bearing without affecting the life cycle of the elements. In this project, the 3D model of the bearing and rotating elements is modeled in modeling software and analyzed in ANSYS. Then the vibration frequencies for which the rotating element will sustain its life is analyzed using Vibration and Fatigue analysis in ANSYS. Then for that frequency, an experimental analysis is conducted for evaluating the rpm of the rotating elements.

Effectiveness of positive behavior therapy upon stress among nursing students

Stress is a common phenomenon among most individuals today and can be related to education, job, relationship, financial and other pressures. Stress is experienced by every human being irrespective of age, sex or nationality. A pre-experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the Positive Behavior Therapy upon Stress among fifty Nursing students at selected Nursing College, Chennai. Fifty Nursing students were selected using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using Demographic Variable Proforma and Stress questionnaire among selected Nursing students through self-administrative method. A rating scale was used to assess the level of satisfaction of Nursing students regarding Positive Behavior Therapy. Positive Behavior Therapy was administered to reduce stress among Nursing students. Results: Study findings revealed that obtained post-test mean value 35 ± 10.8 was lower than pre-test mean value 44.5± 9.5 (P<0.001). Conclusion: Positive Behavior Therapy was effective in reducing stress among Nursing students.

Detection of lung cancer using computerized tomography scan: A review

Lung cancer is very effective and causes deadly diseases among human. It is detected in the last stage, not in the initial stage, which can give the worst results. It also defects other parts of the body. Lung cancer has two types i.e non-small lung cancer and small lung cancer. Smoking can be one of the main reason of lung cancer. This can be diagnosis by the different techniques Many techniques were used to detect lung cancer, but CT is better for accurate results using imaging techniques. CT scan is helpful in predicting the performance of classification. Classification plays a major role in image analysis. Firstly, ct scan image as an input pass to the system through the image processing and then segmentation is performed. The main components of the structure is ct scan images, segmentation, nodule detection, feature extraction. Training data and testing data is used to determine the accuracy of both the algorithms and check the better accuracy. The main objective is to evaluate the computed tomography technique through SVM and then compare it with Naive Bayes to increase the accuracy, but there are some limitations to reach 100%.

A study on profile characteristics of child labour in rolled gold industry in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh

The child is believed to be the gift of the god. He must be nurtured with care and affection within the family and the society. Unfortunately, due to socio-economic factors the incidence of neglect, abuse and deprivation particularly in the poverty-afflicted sections of the society has gradually increased. It is a tragedy that the children who are hidden as desire in the hearts of their mothers and enjoy immense affection of their parents are, in million, compelled to work as labourers. In this article reviewed about the profile of the child labour employed in the Rolled Gold Industry. This included and data collected on age of the child, social status of the family caste, economic status of the family housing possession, family type, family size, ordinal position of the child, Occupation of the parents, Parents living status.
