Background
Plyometric exercises have been used successfully over the years to elicit various training responses from athletes such as power, agility, running economy etc. Till date few studies have been carried out to visualize the effect of plyometrics on physical conditioning in basketball players such as effects on vertical jump, agility, upper and lower body explosivity levels but little information exists on the efficacy of plyometric training in the improvement of sports specific skills of basketball.
Aim
The study was conducted to visualise the effect of plyometric training on sports specific skills of basketball.
Materials and methods
Forty male basketball players were recruited for the study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly divided into control (n=20) and training (n=20) group. After the baseline measurements were taken, all the subjects underwent the intervention period during which the subjects in the control group were instructed to continue their regular practice of basketball while the subjects in the training group completed four weeks of plyometric training program in addition to their regular practice. Data analysis The data was expressed as Mean ± standard deviation (SD) and student's t-test was used to analyse it.
Results
It was found that four weeks of plyometric training is effective in producing statistically significant improvement in the sports specific skills of basketball players in addition to strength, balance and jumping power while regular practice of basketball demonstrated negligible improvement which was statistically insignificant.
Conclusion
It was concluded that Plyometric training is more effective than regular practice of basketball in improving strength, jumping power, balance and sports specific skills of basketball players.

Background Commonest breast cancer in India among female is breast cancer. This is heterogeneous disease, one of subtype triple negative breast cancer defined as no expression of Estrogen and progesterone receptor and expression and amplification of Her2 neu. TNBC is more frequent and aggressive in younger age group. The aim of this study was to evaluate recurrence pattern and outcomes in cohort of younger age group diagnosed with TNBC.
Material and Methods- Medical record of 730 patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer from January 2010 to December 2014 was retrieved. Cohort of 178 TNBC patients was included and analysed the clinical and pathological characteristic. DFS and OS curves were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results- Mean age at the time of diagnosis was 43.91 years (range 22-72), a total of 82 patients developed recurrence/ metastasis during 6 years of observation. The median OS and DFS for the entire group are 22 months and 11 months respectively. In patients who develop metastasis OS is 22.64 months as compared to 26.11 months in those who do not develop metastasis (p =0.08). The most common site of the first recurrence was loco-regional followed by bone and lung
Conclusion- TNBC is an aggressive disease mainly involving younger age group. The peak risk of recurrence of the disease is between the first and third year following diagnosis, and that survival after recurrence is significantly shorter than that observed in patients with non-triple-negative. Taxane based chemotherapy improves the response rate but more clinical trials are required to established more effective regimen.

This study was conducted to determine the magnitude of genetic relationships between fruit yield, yield components and quality traits in 37 okra genotypes for two years in order to bring quality breeding. Direct and indirect effects of fruit yield components on fruit yield per plant were investigated. Thirty seven accessions of okra were evaluated in randomized complete block design for various quantitative and quality traits and to quantify the relationships among these traits in diverse okra germplasm. Genetic analysis such as genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation and path coefficient analyses were performed. The results obtained showed highly significant variation in all the genotypes. Fruit yield/plant was significantly and positively associated with fruits/plant, average fruit weight and nodes/plant at both genotypic and phenotypic levels; which are important prerequisites to formulate a successful improvement program. Path coefficient analysis revealed that fruits/plant had the maximum positive direct contribution towards fruit yield/plant followed by average fruit weight and nodes/plant. The observed variability in the traits studied strongly indicate the possibility of selecting plants with suitable morphology when considering integration into any improvement programme towards preservation and conservation of okra germplasm.Keywords

In this paper, we propose a new SJMOSFET (Super junction MOSFET) with buried oxide in its drift region. The proposed device is simulated using PISCES-II, a 2-D numerical device simulator. The results show an improvement in the breakdown performance as compared to the conventional SJMOSFET due to a reduction in the vertical electric field. In addition, the proposed device i.e. in NBOX1-SJMOSFET shows a linear relation between the Bv and Ron as compared to the conventional device. Various results obtained reveal that the device having BOX in the n-pillar gives the better results. The breakdown voltage has been increased by about 20.439% in NBOX1-SJMOSFET leading to improvement in various other performance parameters with BOX in the n-pillar as compared to BOX in the p-pillar and conventional device.Keywords
