Background: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, specifically inclusion body myositis, present a formidable therapeutic dilemma: high-load resistance training risks accelerating microtrauma in fragile myofibers, whereas disuse promotes rapid atrophy and joint contractures. Clinical Pilates provides a specialized, low impact mind body paradigm anchored in neuromuscular re-education, core stabilization, and breath-synchronized kinetic chain recruitment. Despite growing…

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a climate-resilient, gluten-free cereal with considerable potential for food diversification, value addition and improved food and nutrition security. This study evaluated the proximate composition, tannin content of whole-grain sorghum flour and sorghum-based rusks to assess changes associated with processing and product formulation. Whole sorghum grains obtained from local farmers in Lesotho were cleaned, washed, dried and milled to produce…

The objective of this study was to observed and find out the anthropometric alteration and different health related disease and symptoms between lacto-vegetarian and non-vegetarian adolescent girls due to intake of lacto-vegetarian and non-vegetarian diet. In this study a survey was conducted to compare health status between two dietary groups (lacto and non-vegetarian) in adolescent girls. The survey was carried out at Bhagwanpur-II and Contai -II & III block area, Purba Medinipur, West…

Delayed Union is usually defined as lack of or inadequate new bone formation across the fracture 3-6 months after fracture. Many surgeons would recommend operative intervention with fixation by metallic implants and bone grafting. This involves 2 wounds one at the site of fracture, one at pelvis to harvest bone. New Physical therapy modality Low-Level Laser Therapy [LLLT] can quicken the healing of delayed fracture union and sometimes obviate the need for major surgeries.

This paper presents a computational framework for modeling electrical signal propagation in cardiac tissue using two complementary mathematical models implemented within a multiphysics simulation environment. The FitzHugh-Nagumo equations are employed to describe the excitable nature of cardiac tissue and to simulate the propagation of action potentials, while the complex Ginzburg-Landau equations capture the chaotic dynamics associated with arrhythmic conditions. A simplified…

Objective: In the present study, the objective was to examine the gender difference in the relationship between post-graduate students’ stress and their mental health.

Methods: There were 336 post-graduate students (201 females) from 54 Chinese universities participated in this study. We measured their stress and mental health in a cross-sectional design.

Results: The results indicated that Chinese post-graduate…

Background: Menopause represents a major physiological transition, often accompanied by diverse somatic, psychological, and urogenital symptoms. Despite its impact, comparative data across menopausal stages in Nepal remain limited.

Objective: To assess and compare symptom burden across premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women using the Menopausal Rating Scale (MRS), and to identify independent determinants of total and domain…

Benign Transient Hyperphosphatasemia (BTH) is a self-limiting biochemical condition characterized by marked elevation of serum Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) in otherwise healthy infants and young children. We report a 14-month-old girl undergoing preoperative evaluation for anorectal malformation who was incidentally found to have an isolated ALP elevation of 2277 U/L. Comprehensive evaluation, including liver function tests, gamma-glutamyl transferase, renal profile, calcium, phosphate,…

Background: Environmental pollution has emerged as a major determinant of global disease burden. Continuous exposure to airborne pollutants, contaminated water, pesticides, microplastics, heavy metals, and ultra-processed foods contributes significantly to chronic disease, premature aging, and mortality.

Objective: To review major environmental toxicants and evaluate current approaches to exposure reduction, detoxification, microbiome restoration,…

Paediatric surgical toxicology represents a critical intersection between toxic exposures and surgically significant pathology. While accidental ingestions in toddlers and intentional self‑harm ingestion in adolescents remain major contributors to paediatric toxicology, a subset of exposures produce life‑threatening surgical complications requiring urgent operative intervention. Button battery ingestion, multiple magnet ingestion, caustic agents, toxic foreign bodies, heavy metals, and…
