Abstract:- Background Plantar fasciitis (PF) is an overuse injury causing inflammation at the origin of the plantar fascia and surrounding perifascial structures, such as the calcaneal periosteum, which affects about 10% of the population at least in one moment in life. Successful treatment of plantar fasciitis usually requires combined treatment modalities, rather than administering only one treatment at a time. This study is aimed to examine the effect of medial arch support with ultrasound therapy and exercises to manage plantar fasciitis. Method 10 subjects of both genders, with mean ± SD age of 44.90 ± 4.25years were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The subjects were under a structured 6 weeks exercise program, medial arch supports and ultra sound therapy for each day for 6-days a week. Result There is statistically significant reduction in foot functional score index measures and improvement in range of motion of ankle joint with p value less than 0.05 after 6 weeks of supervised exercise program, ultra sound therapy and medial arch support. Conclusion The results of the present study, suggest that medial arch support with ultrasound therapy and exercise are effective for plantar fasciitis.

Abstract:- Over the decades, natural source has become an important essence to discover new antimicrobial compounds to control the dramatic increase of infectious disease. In this present study, petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol, and water extracts of Lignosus rhinocerus sclerotium were obtained. All the extracts were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Bacillus cereus, Stapyhlococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Strepococcus viridans, Micrococcus luteus, gram negative bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Entorobacter aerogenes, Vibro cholera, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Proteus hauseri and fungi such as Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida krusei and Mucor racemosus by disc diffusion method. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of these extracts were assessed by measuring diameter of zone of inhibition and the results were compared with standard antibiotics, Amoxicillin (10µg/disc) and Fluconazole (30µg/disc) respectively. From these findings, the extracts of Lignosus rhinocerus indicated that plant possess significant antimicrobial activity against tested microbes, which could be a potential source to modern medicine to treat microbial infections.

Abstract:- This report describes the orthodontic treatment of a 14-year-old boy with missing mandibular first molar. Titanium screw was placed in the buccal alveolar bone between the roots of the first and second premolar to provide absolute anchorage for protraction of the second molar into the atrophic edentulous area. More than 8 mm of protraction was done without significant lingual tipping of the incisors and a good posterior occlusion was achieved.
Keywords:-orthodontic, periodontal, implants.

Abstract:- Introduction: In view of rising suicidal tendencies/attempts (1) study was designed to assess causal relationship of Psychosocial factors in suicidal ideation (2). It is assumed that unless psychosocial factors are treated suicide cannot be totally prevented. Method: All patients of SI were interviewed in detail in Psychiatry OPD of LMH Nagpur. Variable, psychosocial factors were (i) Alcohol abuse (ii) Financial Problems (iii) Domestic Violence (iv) Divorce or marital Separation, against which SI were measured. Data was collected through semi-structured psychiatric & psychosocial assessment. Brief psychotherapy was offered to female careers. Results: Out of 75 patients 49% disclosed psychosocial stressors. 20% patients’ revealed h/o Alcohol abuse & 14% patients disclosed financial problems. Variable, Alcohol Abuse composed of female patients who were victimized by their alcoholic husbands/family members. Domestic violence & Divorce implicated 5.33% patients each while 4% suffered from bereavement. Faulty-cognition of female careers was observed changing. Discussion: Alcohol abuse was found to trigger various psychosocial factors directly or indirectly. This study revealed 50% of Alcohol abuse cases belong to female careers. Brief psychotherapy given by clinician was found beneficial. Correction & building of cognition of female career was seen to attribute reduction in SI. Conclusion: Psychosocial factors were implicated for SI among 49% patients. Alcohol was the major risk factor to cause SI directly or indirectly. Impact of attribution of psychosocial factors on SI was almost similar to that of disease process. Biological impact of psychosocial factors especially on female careers was observed.
