Musculoskeletal Disorders: History Taking, Physical Examination, Investigations and Diagnosis
Abstract: The aim of present study was to learn about the common musculoskeletal disorders. Proper history taking and thorough examination of each limb and joint systematically is the key to management of musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders generally present with pain, dysfunction and deformity. Onset of symptoms should be ascertained whether they are acute or chronic. The natural history of the problem also gives clue to diagnosis and the type of pain …

Clinical Practice Management in Orthodontics: An Overview
Abstract: The traditional education of a dentist has placed greater emphasis on developing highly competent diagnostician or clinicians and has often left a noticeable void in the area of practice management. As dentistry enters the 21st century, it faces an ever changing population and concepts. Orthodontic observes are minor businesses, not only among orthodontic providers, but with all other health care providers as well. Competition within the arena comes from general …

The Norwegian Appliance—A Review
Abstract: Functional appliances are passive appliance fabricated to alter the neuromuscular environment of the orofacial region to enhance craniofacial skeletal growth and occlusal development. The monobloc, given by Pierre Robin in 1902, is considered the forerunner of the functional appliance, but the appliance fabricated by Andresen in Norway was the first functional appliance to be widely accepted. This appliance was considered the basis of the ‘Norwegian system’ of treatment. The Norwegian …

Effectiveness of Abdominal Muscle Exercise in Improving Peak Expiratory Flow in Normal Individuals
Abstract: In health the human cardiopulmonary system has enormous reserve capacity to cope with the demands of exercise (or) illness. Expiration is usually normally a passive process with active muscle contraction being used during more forceful activities such as cough (or) sneezing. The abdominal muscles are the major muscle of the diaphragm. So it improves the efficiency of expiration. The objective is that the person with partial (or) complete weakness of …

Thermal Performance Enhancement Strategies for a Compact Solar PV-Powered Concentrating Water Heating System Through Integrated Collector Design
Abstract: Solar water heating systems have emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy technologies for reducing dependence on conventional fossil fuels and electricity-based water heating. However, the thermal performance of compact solar water heaters is often limited by inadequate solar absorption, poor heat transfer, and thermal losses within the collector assembly. This study presents a theoretical investigation of thermal performance enhancement strategies incorporated into a compact solar photovoltaic (PV)-powered …

From Documentation to Digital Stewardship: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Technological Transformation in Indigenous Knowledge Management
Abstract: This bibliometric study systematically maps the technological evolution of Indigenous Knowledge Management (IKM) over a 30-year period (1995–2025). It aims to identify the conceptual shifts and emerging technologies defining the transition from passive digital documentation to active algorithmic stewardship. The study utilises a scientometric approach to analyse a corpus of 835 unique documents retrieved from the Scopus database. Scientific-mapping techniques, including thematic evolution and keyword co-occurrence analysis, were performed using …

Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Precision Physics: A Machine Learning Framework for Data Reconstruction in Support of India's Deep-Tech Missions
Abstract: India's emergence as a global leader in deep-tech innovation is driven by ambitious scientific megaprojects, including the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO)-India, the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat), the Aditya-L1 solar observatory, and the National Quantum Mission (NQM). However, the unprecedented scale and complexity of the observational data generated by these missions present severe computational bottlenecks. Traditional analytical frameworks struggle with non-stationary noise transients, diffusion blurring, and the exponential scaling limits …

Thermo-Hydraulic Performance of a Double-Pipe Double-Pass Heat Exchanger using Annular Fins and Graphite-filled Epoxy Composite Tubes
Abstract: Double-pipe heat exchangers remain one of the most widely adopted thermal devices because of their simple construction, operational reliability, and ease of maintenance. Nevertheless, their performance is often constrained by the limited heat transfer area of smooth tubes and the long-term challenges associated with metallic materials, including corrosion, scaling, and structural weight. Recent advances in thermally conductive polymer composites provide an opportunity to overcome these limitations by replacing conventional metals …
