Scoping review to compare the sphygmomanometer and pressure biofeedback unit in assessing core muscle strength.

Background: A strong core is a key to stability, posture, and strength. To reduce back pain and improve functional movement deep abdominal muscles are targeted. Use a sphygmomanometer for reliable, objective core muscle strength and stability measurements based on the resistance applied.

Normative value of deep neck flexors muscle strength measurement using pressure biofeedback unit and sphygmomanometer: An observational study.

Purpose: To find out the normative value of deep neck flexor muscles strength using pressure biofeedback unit and sphygmomanometer.

Methods: The healthy individuals both male and female aged between 18 and 25 years were recruited by stratified random sampling method from a tertiary hospital. The procedure is performed with the patient in supine lying with the neck in a neutral position.

Rheumatoid arthritis-recent advances in pathogenesis and the anti-inflammatory effect of plant-derived COX inhibitors.

The majority of people with autoimmune disorders, including those with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and tendonitis report pain, stiffness, and inflammation as major contributors to their worse quality of life in terms of overall health. Of all the available treatment options, COX inhibitors are the ones that are utilized most frequently to ease the symptoms. Various signaling cascades have been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis which includes JAK/STAT, MAPK, and NF-kB signaling pathways, and several allopathic inhibitors (tofacitinib and baricitinib) have been reported to target the components of these cascades and have received approval for RA treatment.

Physical Activity for Health and Fitness: Past, Present and Future.

It's a saying "The early we start, the early we attain good health". Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely absence of disease Fitness is an ability to execute daily functional activities with optimal performance, endurance, and strength to manage minimalist of disease, fatigue, stress and reduced sedentary behavior.

Chimeric bi-functional enzyme possessing xylanase and deacetylase activity for hydrolysis of agro-biomass rich in acetylated xylan.

Here, a chimeric bifunctional enzyme was developed for two activities xylanase and deacetylase. Chimeric enzyme was designed by combining the relevant amino acid stretches from two different parent sequences, such as polysaccharide/xylan deacetylase (ref id: MT682066) and xylanase (ref id WP_110897546.1).

Insights from the analysis of alginate lyase protein model from Pseudomonas fluorescens towards the understanding of mucoid biofilm disruption.

Bacterial biofilm is a protective, slippery and slimy coat secreted by bacterial cells. It helps in attaching to moisturized surfaces during colonization. Alginate is an important component as it is essential for retention of water and nutrients in biofilms.
