Exploring the therapeutic effects of yoga on spine and shoulder mobility: A systematic review.

Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the effect of yoga interventions on spine and shoulder mobility.

Methods: We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and adhered to the methodological framework recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration for the systematic review. An exhaustive search in PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar was conducted.

Chitosan nanoparticles and neem essential oil functionalized pullulan/gum arabic active edible biocomposites for fresh-cut guava preservation.

The study demonstrates the preparation of active edible biocomposites using Pullulan (PUL) and Gum Arabic (GA), functionalized with Chitosan Nanoparticles (NCS) and Neem Essential Oil (NEO). These biocomposites addressed the issues of high hydrophilicity and poor barrier properties in packaging. The effects of varying NCS concentrations (1 %, 2 %, and 3 %) on various film properties were studied, while keeping PUL, GA, and NEO concentrations constant.

Decoding the complex interplay of biological and chemical factors in Polylactic acid biodegradation: A systematic review.

Polylactic Acid is a sustainable, compostable bioplastic that requires specific geoenvironmental conditions for degradation. The complexity of managing the PLA waste has limited the scope of its seamless application. There have been a significant number of studies exploring PLA degradation.

Minimally invasive techniques as adjuncts in low- versus high-lying retained rectal foreign bodies of autoerotic nature in young men: a tailored management algorithm with two contrasting case reports from India.

Retained rectal foreign bodies (RFBs) of an autoerotic nature represent an emerging and rare surgical emergency, posing a sensitive challenge for surgeons. RFBs exhibit a wide range of presentations and require varied management approaches, with the choice of treatment modality differing from case to case. Recently, minimally invasive techniques have been employed for the retrieval of RFBs.
