Background and Purpose: Cardiac disease is considered as one of the contraindication of sauna bath however there is paucity of evidence supporting this statement. The purpose of the study was to investigate the repeated effect of modality on heart during its application. Previous works in our department have examined the effects of single session of sauna bath. The effects of repeated exposure to the sauna remains uninvestigated, keeping this in mind the study aims at examining the effects of 5 session of sauna on ECG.Keywords

Objective: To determine how accurately continuous wave therapeutic ultrasound with 3 MHz frequency could identify tibial stress fractures as revealed by X-ray and Magnetic resonance imaging.
Materials and Methods: One hundred - fifty patients with suspected unilateral tibial stress fracture volunteered for this study from March 2003 to December 2006. Continuous, 3MHz ultrasound was applied to uninvolved (control) and involved tibias with 2w/cm2 intensity for 30 seconds. Pain responses to ultrasound was noted in terms of visual analogue scale and investigating physiotherapist put up one of the two responses such as no stress fracture (VAS 0 to 5) and stress fracture (VAS 5 to 10). Results of ultrasound test were compared with X-ray and MRI findings to determine if continuous therapeutic ultrasound could predict whether subject had tibial stress fracture or no tibial stress fracture.
Results: Therapeutic ultrasound has better sensitivity, less specificity and accuracy as that of X - ray when compared with magnetic resonance imaging as a gold standard. The predicted sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of therapeutic ultrasound were 43.03%, 32.39% and 38% respectively.
Conclusion: Ultrasound is not accurate enough to serve at present as a substitute for MRI, particularly because of the considerable proportion of false positives.

Objectives: To evaluate and compare injury pattern between hypermobile and non-hypermobile hockey players of Punjab.
Method: Hockey players aged between 14-25 years were evaluated for generalized joint hypermobility using a validated Beighton scale. Players were given a score between 0-9 with high score indicating increasing hypermobility. Players were also assessed for detailed sports injuries, player position and training hours. From individual player consent form was taken.
Results: A total of 188 hockey players both male and female players were included. Results indicated that 31.0% males were hypemobile while 56.66% females were hypermobile. In male group, the maximum frequency(42.0%)of injury was occurred in category 5-9 score, followed by (37.28%) in 0-2 score and 20.0% in 3-4 category, whereas in females, the maximum frequency(70.0%)of injury was found followed by 20.0% in 3-4 score and 10% in 0-2 score category.
Conclusion: In this study results indicated that females were more hypermobile than male hockey players, and hypermobility was significantly associated with increased prevalence of injuries in hockey players.

Chickpea is world's third most important grain legume after beans and peas with over 73 per cent of production coming from South-East Asia. It is a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, trace elements and its protein quality is similar to or better than other legumes such as pigeon pec, black gram and green gram.- Clinical Profile of Hepatorenal SyndromeClinical Profile of Hepatorenal Syndrome:A Prospective Study

Background: Hepatorenal syndrome is the development of renal failure in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis, occasionally fulminant hepatitis, who have portal hypertension and ascitis in the absence of some other kidney disease.
Objective: To study the clinical profile of hepatorenal syndrome.
Methods: All patients of chronic liver disease with renal involvement were studied and patients fulfilling the criteria of hepatorenal syndrome were recruited in the study. The etiology, clinical presentation, morbidity and outcome of patients were recorded. Various variables were studied between survivor group and non survivor group to detect possible predictors of non survival in hepatorenal syndrome. The data was analyzed using SPSS software.
Results: 42 patients of hepatorenal syndrome were clinically evaluated. 95% were males and 5% females with mean age of 50.29±8.87 in survivor group and 45.92±10.1 in non survivor group. High level of serum bilirubin, hepatic encephalopathy, decreased level of albumin, hyponatremia and coagulopathy were significant in non survivor group as compared to survivor group.
Conclusion: The poor prognostic factors were found to be ascites, severe jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, alcohol abuse, hypoalbuminemia, progressive renal failure and child pugh score greater than 10. Thus hepatorenal syndrome is decompensated cirrhosis which needs judicious treatment especially using terlipressin and albumin.

Food security of the country has been improved due to green revolution and enhancement of cereal production. However, recent surveys showed 35.8% of children suffer from malnutrition in India. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has taken lead for the biofortification of cereal crops based on earlier national and international research efforts, targeting the enhancement of nutrients in staple food crops. In this article, the significant progress made in rice, wheat, maize and millets for identification of genotypes, development, evaluation and release of the varieties with high nutrient contents and their bioavailability studies is discussed.Keywords
