Background: Excess fat may be the major cause of atherosclerosis, aging, and death.

Methods: Sickle cell diseases (SCD) patients were studied.

Results: We studied 222 males and 212 females (30.8 vs 30.3 years of age, p>0.05, respectively). Smoking (23.8% vs 6.1%, p<0.001), alcohol (4.9% vs 0.4%, p<0.001), transfused red blood cells (RBC) in their lives (48.1 vs 28.5 units, p=0.000), disseminated teeth losses (5.4% vs…

Background: Throw ball is popular women’s team sports that indicates a need for repetitive overhead throwing sudden directional changes jumping and high velocity acceleration –deceleration movements. These sports has specific physical requirement increase the risk of my skeletal problem, specifically among young female athletes. Even in the presence of growing participation women in throw ball, there is restricted literature addressing the prevalence of my skeletal problems…

Background: Diastatic recti abdominis (DRA), defined as the abdominis muscles along the linea alba, is a common postpartum musculoskeletal condition. The mode of delivery may impact both its prevalence and severity, division of rectus affecting core stability, functional capacity and quality of life.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the prevalence and severity of DRA among postpartum women following vaginal delivery and caesarean…

Background: Silambam is a conventional Indian marital art that demands high levels of posture control, core stability and dynamic balance due to its high velocity directional shifts and complex movement pattern. core muscle endurance plays a ciritical role in perceiving trunk stability, which may directly impact dynamic balance performance in athelets.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between core muscle endurance and dynamic balance among…

Background: The unprecedented rise in smartphone usage among young adults has created a public health concern regarding cervico-scapulothoracic postural alterations and associated musculoskeletal symptoms. Despite growing evidence linking prolonged smartphone use to forward head posture (FHP) and scapular dyskinesis, integrated assessment of cervical, thoracic, and scapular regions remains underexplored in the Indian population.

Objective: This…

Background: Smartphone-induced forward head posture, scapular dyskinesis, and associated musculoskeletal symptoms represent a growing public health concern among young adults. While postural dysfunction is well-documented, evidence-based intervention protocols integrating cervical stabilization, scapular motor control, and thoracic mobility remain limited. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of a targeted cervico-scapular physiotherapy intervention…

Background: Smartphone usage among college students has become ubiquitous, with daily screen time exceeding 4–6 hours in sustained flexed cervical postures. Prolonged smartphone engagement precipitates forward head posture, scapular dyskinesis, and associated musculoskeletal symptomatology. However, the integrated prevalence of cervico-scapulothoracic postural deviations specifically in college-age populations remains incompletely…

Cyanosis is most often due to cardiac or pulmonary disease, but genetic and acquired disorders of hemoglobin can result in significant arterial desaturation. Disorders such as methemoglobinemia, sulfhemoglobinemia, Hemoglobin M, Low oxygen affinity hemoglobin are the differential diagnosis once cardiopulmonary causes were excluded [1]. Acquired disorders are more common whereas long standing symptoms or symptoms in siblings is suggestive of hereditary causes. A 23-year-old female patient…

The paper discusses the direct path of sound waves to the receptor, especially high frequencies. Attention was drawn to inertia in the middle and inner ear. The significance of the resonance of the longitudinal wave in the fluid with the transverse wave of the basilar membrane's natural vibrations was critically assessed. Problems related to the rocking movements of the stapes and the difference in the speed of the sound wave in the fluid and the traveling wave on the basilar membrane were…

Background: Prolonged mobile phone use induces forward head posture (FHP), creating a bidirectional pathway linking musculoskeletal strain to neuroendocrine dysregulation and cognitive impairment. No existing global study integrates postural biomechanics, autonomic nervous system function, hormonal biomarkers, and cognitive outcomes in smartphone populations.

Objective: To investigate the multisystem impacts of chronic mobile phone-induced…
