To Study the Effects of Butler’s Neuromobilisation and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Lower Limb Sensory Deficits in Chronic Stroke: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Stroke is a leading cause of functional impairments worldwide. Deficits in somatic sensations (body senses such as; touch, temperature, pain and proprioception) after stroke are common with high prevalence rates. Sensory deficits have been shown to predict poor functional outcome after stroke, including increased length of hospitalization, lower levels of discharge home, lower numbers of home discharges, and increased mortality rates. The objective of the study was to compare the …

Role of Human Neutrophils in Inflammation and its Modulation by Ixora coccinea
Abstract: Neutrophils are one of the key cells that actively participate in the innate immune reactions. Sequences of event of pathogen elimination by neutrophils are initiated with the activation of resting neutrophils. Pathogen is then eliminated by oxygen-dependent killing mechanism or oxygen-independent killing mechanism. This process includes margination, diapedesis, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and degranulation of neutrophils. Although, these mechanisms of the neutrophils are targeted to eliminate the pathogens and protect the body, …

Prenatal estimation of the birth weight above 4,000 g (fetal macrosomia) using fetal abdominal circumference(AC)
Abstract: Purpose: This study is to determine if the birth weight above 4,000g can be correctly estimated by prenatal ultrasonographic measurements of abdominal circumference.Background: The delivery of macrosomatic fetus can increase the perinatal morbidity and mortality of both parturients and fetuses/neonates; the risk for shoulder dystocia, fetal asphyxia and birth trauma as well as vacuum or forceps delivery, hysterotomy and postpartum bleeding due to uterine atony. Thus, the accurate estimation of …

Effect of Conventional Physiotherapy and Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy through Play way Method to Improve the Upper Extremity Motor Skills among the Children with Hemi paretic Cerebral Palsy
Abstract: There is a tendency in children with unilateral involvement to use their non-affected hand as the dominant hand, even when the actual functional loss is mild. The potential use of the affected upper extremity of children with hemiparetic CP often fails due to “developmental non-use”, and this leads to increased muscle tone, and decreased active and passive range of motion of the joints of the limb, poor motor control, generalized …

The Intelligibility in Context Scale in Tamil—Reliability and Validity Measures
Abstract: Objective: The Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS) was originally developed by Sharynne McLeod, Linda J. Harrison and Jane McCormack in 2012. It is a 7 item parent-rated questionnaire designed to assess speech intelligibility in very young children using a quantitative score out of 5. It is intended to supplement other clinical measures of speech intelligibility in providing a comprehensive picture of the speech of children with several speech impairments (speech …

Extent of Lingual Coarticulation: A Crosslinguistic Study Using Ultrasound Imaging
Abstract: In the recent past, Ultrasound imaging has been used extensively as a tool to measure coarticulation. The extent of coarticulation is the magnitude of distance between tongues contours of adjacent phonemes that varies based on the articulatory dynamics of each phoneme. This lack of invariance is language-specific which is related to the articulatory constraint properties of a particular language. In this context, the present study aimed to analyse the magnitude …

Diabetic Nephropathy: Diagnosis, Prognosis, Treatment Goals, and the most Recent Guidelines
Abstract: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious health issue. It affects 50 percent of diabetics, is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that necessitates dialysis or kidney transplantation, and is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Although persistent albuminuria and progressive decrease in kidney function are hallmarks of DN, it is becoming increasingly clear that the presentation and course of kidney disease in diabetes vary. …

A Review on Environmental Pollution Mitigation by Fungal Proteases
Abstract: Proteases comprise a vital group of proteolytic enzymes with variety of functions. These enzymes possess the enormous commercial potential and have been used in several industrial processes, including food industry, leather processing, detergent industry and therapeutic applications. As well as they are used as an environmental pollution cleaning agent. Proteases are the replacement of conventional method of silver recovery from the X-ray films. Among the microbial enzymes only proteases constitute …

Lithium Induces Lower Specific Activity and Expression of Acetylcholinesterase in Old Aged Rats Brain and Liver for the Regulation of Acetyl Choline Cellular Signaling
Abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) acts on acetylcholine (ACh) to terminate its actions on the synaptic cleft by cleaving Ach to choline and acetate. This directly correlates with memory dysfunction and loss of cognitive functions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients which was a continuous decline of the cholinergic neurotransmission in cortical and other regions of human brain. Specific activity and expression for AChEwere determined in LiCl2 treated young and old male wistar rat's …
