Although there are multiple ways to treat the disorder, there is a lack of evidence in indicating a specific technique to treat the disorder. In this study, we intend to check the efficacy of two different techniques in improving the range and function of the shoulder joint.Methodology: Thirty subjects were randomly allocated to two different groups. One group was administered with muscle energy technique (MET) and the other with Spencer technique. The pain intensity and disability of shoulder joint is evaluated with shoulder pain disability index. For range of motion for shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation, Goniometry was used as an outcome measure.Results: The results are tabulated in terms of mean, standard deviation, variance, t-test, and P-value. Student t-test shows that there were statistically significant values for groups (P < 0.05). Variance test has been found to be significant at P < 0.05, Spencer technique is found to be more effective compare to MET.Conclusion: When applied to the patients, both MET and Spencer technique are found to be effective, in comparison using t-test, it is concluded that Spencer technique is more effective than MET.","PeriodicalId":206430,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116776844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cause of AS is unknown. It is considered to be a combination of some genetic and environmental factors. The underlying mechanism is believed to be autoimmune or auto-inflammatory. There is no definitive cure for AS. Treatments may relieve symptomatically and prevent worsening. Ayurved believes that every individual has a unique pattern or fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy which comprises their own constitution. Hence, every patient is different, hetu sevan is different in every patient, so the pathophysiology according to ayurveda also differs in different patients. Ayurveda encompasses various tools and techniques for assessing health and root of disease. They also consider the patient’s suitability for various treatments. Considering all probable pathophysiologies of this condition as per Ayurveda, this article encompasses treatment modalities that can be incorporated for treating AS. Extensive literature review is done for selecting, localizing the described condition.

Assessment of renal function in kidney transplant recipients might help in understanding the better outcome of the graft and also the factors associated with NODAT. The present study was aimed to estimate the biochemical parameters, electrolytes, and minerals in the serum among renal transplant recipients and healthy controls (HC) and to evaluate the graft function, graft outcome and patient survival. Materials and Methods: Biochemical parameters (creatinine, urea, and uric acid), electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and chloride), and minerals (calcium and phosphorus) were estimated in serum by enzymatic method using commercially available kits in 100 HC, 80 NODAT, and 80 Non-NODAT subjects. The graft outcome was assessed by comparing serum creatinine levels and urinary creatinine clearance at 0 month and 60 months. The survival rate was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Results: The mean age was significantly higher in NODAT versus non-NODAT at P < 0.0009. Significant gender difference was observed in NODAT and non-NODAT versus HC at P < 0.0001. The levels of creatinine, urea, and uric acid were significantly more in NODAT versus HC at P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, and P < 0.006. The mean levels of sodium and phosphorus were significantly lower in NODAT versus HC at P < 0.008 and P < 0.029. In multinomial logistic regression analysis, age, male gender, creatinine, and urea significantly predicted the outcome and the Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis revealed creatinine to be better marker for assessing kidney function. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed decreased survival rates in NODAT than non-NODAT. Conclusion: Older age (above 40), hyponatremia, and hypophosphatemia could be significant risk factors for NODAT development.","PeriodicalId":206430,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121821221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although, brucellosis is a mandatory reporting disease and is not eliminated in Gujarat. The aim of the present study was to study the prevalence of human brucellosis in Anand district of Gujarat along with the trend of the disease over a period of 6 years. We also tried to study the common clinical presentations and diagnostic test used for confirmation of cases. Methods: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the data available at the Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad during the past 6 years (2015 ± 2021) to get insight into the prevalence of human brucellosis in Gujarat. Results: According to the available data, 113 samples had positive serology for Brucella spp. The age of the patients enrolled in the study ranged from 12 to 78 years with an average age of 35.58. The majority were males 96 (85%), Out of 113 patient’s total 37 patients admitted to the hospital in year 2019. According to the available data, out of a total of 113, 55 patients were positive for Brucella abortus, while only nine patients were positive for Brucella melitensis.
