Introduction: Proximal tibia is a weight-bearing area, and treating these fractures is challenging. Various treatment options will be closed reduction and casting, Open reduction and internal fixation with plate osteosynthesis, and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). The advantage of MIPO in this type of fracture is that it requires only minimal exposure for stable fixation and will give a better quality of life with less complications. The study aimed to assess the functional outcome of MIPO in treating the proximal tibia fractures. Materials and Methods: A prospective study of 30 patients was conducted in patients treated with the MIPO technique for closed proximal tibia fracture. Sanders score was assessed for functional outcome in 6th month. Results: The mean age of the patients was 43.16 years. Lateral column MIPO alone was done in 22 patients and Dual column MIPO was done in 8 patients. The mean time to union of fracture was 12.16 weeks ranging from 11 to 18 weeks. Sanders score at 6th month showed excellent results in 18...

Introduction: Osteoarthritis Knee (OA) is the most common form of joint disability in elderly individuals. Various treatment modalities have been established for OA. This study is to compare the functional outcome and pain relief following IA (intraarticular) steroid versus PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection. Methods: In this study 30, patients were selected and segregated into two groups 15 each with knee pain for more than 1 year. Each patient would either be treated with IA steroid injection or PRP injection. Patients immediate post-injection VAS and HSS scoring were recorded. Result: Group A and Group B were treated with IA steroid and PRP respectively. BMI (body mass index) was found to be of great significance. Patients were reassessed after injection at 1-month intervals of 1, 2, and 3 months. Visual Assessment Scoring also was used pre-injection. Post injection reduction in pain was recorded with a reduced score in 1month and 2month post-injection follow-up. In this comparative study, patients with PRP injection had better pain improvement over a long period with excellent...

Background: Golfer’s elbow, commonly known as medial epicondylitis, is an overuse syndrome caused by an eccentric overload of flexor-pronator mass on the medial epicondyle. This is produced by repetitive actions causing micro-trauma to insert the flexor-pronator mass, which affects the pronator teres more than the flexor carpi radialis. This study evaluates the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma and steroid injections in treating the golfer’s elbow. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study including 30 patients. They were divided into 2 groups Group A (n = 15) and B (n = 15). PRP injection was given for Group A patients, and for Group B patients, Steroid injection was given. There was a total of 17 Females and 13 males in the study. All the patients were followed up at 1st, 2nd and 6th months post-procedure, VAS and DASH scores were analyzed. Results: In group A, the mean VAS score pre-PRP was 6.8, which improved to 1.93,1.26 and 1.06, and the mean DASH score pre-PRP injection was 34.8, which improved to...

The nutritional quality of soil plays a key role in the growth of plants as soil minerals act as a source and sink for providing the essential nutrients to plants. The fertility of the soil and nutritional management are the two important factors that directly influence plants’ productivity and quality. Soil management is an important tool for agriculture to provide nutritious food. Soil management is essential for maintaining the quality of soil and soil life support system. Soil quality includes soil structure, fertility, conservation, and organic matter. The soil management practices are generally implemented to enhance the productivity of soil. Soil testing is the first step of managing the fertility of soil. The soil testing provides valuable information about the nutritional levels (micronutrients, macronutrients, organic carbon content (OC), electrical conductance (EC), pH etc.) of soil. This article shows the influence of the environment on the fertility and nutritional quality of soil that has been collected from different areas of Rajasthan. The soil test report is helpful in the recommendation...

In order to discover new treatments for a wide range of ailments, ethnopharmacological research has investigated different leads from plants. In nature, the Orchidaceae family’s Vanda roxburghii is found in Bangladesh and India. As a remedy for dyspepsia, bronchitis, and inflammations, as well as for rheumatoid arthritis and bronchitis, various portions of the plant are employed. A number of the plant’s beneficial compounds have been identified, including alkaloids, glucosides, fatty acids, saponin, and tannin compounds, as well as β- and γ-sitosterols, as well as fatty oils, resin, and tetracosylferrulate in the roots. In the angiosperm family, orchids make up the largest and most diversified group. They are grown for their magnificent blooms. Flowers of all sizes, shapes and colors can be found on these plants. However, these plants have been widely recognized for their economic relevance, but little attention has been paid to their medical properties. Ayurvedic practitioners have long relied on orchids to treat a wide range of diseases. For centuries, people have relied on the herb to...
