Feasibility of Ultrasound-Guided Suprascapular Nerve Block in Improving Shoulder Motion and Pain Post-Surgery in Breast Cancer Survivors: A Randomized Control Trial.

Patients with locally advanced breast cancer post-mastectomy complain of shoulder pain and restricted shoulder movement. The role of suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) in such patients needs to be explained as it may help in improving their quality of life along with pain relief. This study aims to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) in improving shoulder motion and pain following surgery and compare its effect with exercise group.

Psychological adjustments among lower limb amputees in North Indian population: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Limb amputation is an extremely stressful event for an individual, following which the amputee develops inferior body image, anxiety, and changes in self-concept and identity. For holistic rehabilitation, understanding the psychosocial status of the amputee and its' predictors is of utmost importance.

Objective: The aim of the article is to assess the psychological adjustments in patients with lower limb amputation and determine its clinical and sociodemographic correlates.

Quality of Life in People With Unilateral Lower Limb Amputation at a Tertiary Rehabilitation Centre in Northern India: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background and purpose The patients after amputation undergo a sudden transformation in their quality of life. In India, amputation done at the appropriate time is a rare phenomenon because usually, the patients present themselves at the later stages. The surgeons, however, while performing amputation surgeries, primarily consider saving the life of a patient under adverse conditions when patients report to them very late that the surgeries are carried out urgently.

Comparison of Quality of Life and Bone Mass Density among Postmenopausal Women: A Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Postmenopausal women are at highest risk of developing osteoporosis, since their bone mineral density is reduced due to decrease in estrogen level. Various other physiological, emotional, and psychological changes jeopardize the health of these vulnerable females in total and reduce their quality of life (QoL).

Aims And Objectives: To compare the QoL and bone mass density (BMD) among normal BMD, osteopenic, and osteoporotic postmenopausal women.

Role of rehabilitation in Hurler's syndrome.

Hurler syndrome is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder of lysosomal accumulation of un-degraded glucosaminoglycan secondary to deficiency of a-L-Iduronidase enzyme. It is most severe form of Mucopolysaccharidosis with incidence of 1:100 000. It has multisystemic involvement leading to multiple deformity, disability and death within 10th years of life.

Percutaneous A1 pulley release by the tip of a 20-g hypodermic needle before open surgical procedure in trigger finger management.

The objective of the study was to assess the safety, the efficacy, and the result of percutaneous A1 pulley release, using the tip of a 20-G hypodermic needle; the study included 17 patients with 27 trigger digits (18 grade IIIA, 8 grade IIIB, and 1 grade IV). All the patients were assessed by the total range of motion of the affected digit, the visual analog scale score, and the Disability of Arm Shoulder Hand score, before and after the procedure and during the follow-up at 2, 6, 12, and 24 weeks, and then every 3 months, and the improvement was assessed by one sample t test. Sixteen patients with 26 trigger digits (95.
