A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Home-based Stretching Exercises on Joint Pain Among Clients with Osteoarthritis in Selected Old Age Home, Rajkot City, Gujarat
Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a commonly encountered condition in middle-aged and older individuals, marked by its slow development. Strengthening exercises targeting the quadriceps muscles, situated in the front thigh, can mitigate knee pain, and reduce disability associated with OA. The musculoskeletal system encompasses the bones of the skeleton, the joints where these bones connect, and the muscles responsible for enabling and regulating movement. The knee, the largest and most complex joint, …

Identification of Brain Stroke Using Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Globally, strokes are the primary cause of disability and mortality. Recently, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have been employed by artificial intelligence algorithms as effective stroke diagnosing techniques. These days, machine learning and data mining technologies are used in the construction of the main models. We have used five machine learning algorithms to determine if a stroke has occurred or is likely to occur based on a patient’s …

Muscle Computer Interface for Recovering People
Abstract: The muscle-computer interface (MCI) has emerged as a promising technology for enhancing the recovery process of individuals with paralyzed limbs or disabilities. This paper explores the application of MCI in the context of recovering people and addresses the challenges faced by such individuals. Traditional rehabilitation methods often have limitations in terms of engagement, feedback, and real-time interaction, which hinder the recovery progress. In response to these challenges, the proposed MCI …

Development of Spanish Version of Home-Based Video Module of Balance Exercises for Peripheral Vestibular Disordered Patients
Abstract: Any disturbances affecting one or more of the balance organs lead to imbalance difficulties and as a consequence, the quality of life of the affected individuals can be seriously affected, especially if the episodes end with injuries or even fatal accidents. Bal Ex is the first home-based video guided workout that was created by Zainun and her colleagues in 2009. Ten languages are currently supported by Bal Ex, including Cantonese, …

IS-Aligned Strategic Evaluation of Fire Protection Systems for Improving Fire Safety in Mixed-Occupancy High-Rise Buildings
Abstract: This paper presents a substantially reworked Indian-context evaluation of fire protection systems in a 14-building high-rise sample from Indore. The study reuses the original field dataset but replaces the earlier code mix with an explicitly IS-aligned and NBC-oriented analytical framework. Physical observation, document review and interview inputs were screened against requirements related to means of egress, compartmentation, fire detection and alarm, hydrants and hose reels, extinguishers, emergency lighting, smoke control, …

Case Study on Snake Bite
Abstract: Snakebites are a major public health concern in India, with the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating approximately 5 million cases annually. Out of these, around 2.7 million involve envenomation, where venom is injected through the snake's bite. These venomous bites pose significant medical emergencies and can lead to severe complications, including permanent physical impairments if not treated promptly. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to mitigating the adverse effects of snakebites. …

Ilaj bil-Ma’ (Hydrotherapy) as a Regimenal Modality in Pain Management: Conceptual Foundations in Unani Medicine and Modern Correlation
Abstract: Waja‘ (pain) is one of the most common clinical complaints encountered worldwide and remains a leading cause of disability, impaired functional capacity, and diminished quality of life. In the Unani system of medicine, pain is not considered merely a symptom but a significant manifestation of disturbed physiological balance. Classical Unani scholars describe pain as arising from derangement in Mizāj (temperament), imbalance of Akhlāṭ (humours), Sudad (obstruction within bodily channels), Waram …
