Weight distribution pattern is a vital biomechanical parameter to evaluate knee joint changes and its functional correlates in knee osteoarthritis. VM - Weight Distribution Analysis System is a uniquely designed foot plate consisting of transducers (load cells), the interface and, digital display unit to measure static load distribution as well as variation in load distribution in different functional positions to quantify the variability in weight distribution and identify the biomechanical factors / attributes responsible for altered weight distribution. Understanding of this altered distribution is of utmost importance in the treatment of arthritic knee leading to compromised lifestyle and pain. The treatment process in knee osteoarthritis includes selection and prescription of: appropriate knee orthosis, shoe modification and exercise regime to maximize the efficiency of a person within the environmental context. The knowledge of this altered weight distribution in knee osteoarthritis over different areas of feet guides the process of designing, selection and prescription of orthosis as well as treatment implementation. This VM - Weight Distribution Analysis System provides the knowledge of altered load distribution over different regions of feet simultaneously and guide the clinical decision making process.Keywords

The aesthetic zone presents a dilemma for prosthetic rehabilitation. Prosthetic restoration of significant alveolar bone loss in the aesthetic zone is often challenging. The Andrews Bridge fixed removable system can be used in such cases as it combines the benefits of a Fixed Partial Denture (FPD) with the aesthetics of a Removable Partial Denture (RPD) to restore lost teeth and gingiva while addressing the aesthetic challenge of significant alveolar bone loss. It reduces the denture bulk and provides good retention and patient comfort. There is no need for palatal or lingual flange covering, as in a regular RPD.Keywords

In this study, an analysis of the relationship of 500, 700, and 850 hPa geopotential heights (GpH) with vertically integrated moisture flux divergence is examined for two selected sets of years named Dry and Wet. First, a comparison of the four different datasets, ERA-5, JRA-55, NCEP/NCAR, and MERRA-2, is done to look out for the variations and trends of geopotential SS heights from 1980-2021 and to select the best dataset for the whole analysis. Though all the datasets provide more or less the same variations and trends (except NCEP/NCAR), only ERA-5 is chosen on basis of high spatial resolution (0.25° × 0.25°) data. From the rainfall data, the dry and wet years are selected based on the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) criteria. The variations of the standardized anomaly of different GpH are examined with the vertically integrated moisture flux divergence (VIMFD) in the selected dry and wet years. All the GpH are found to depict the condition of the less (more) trough (low-pressure area) over central India and the Bay of Bengal (BB), coinciding with the less (more) convergence of vertically integrated moisture flux (VIMF) in JJAS season of dry (wet) years.Keywords

Mascarene Highs (MH) is an important semi-permanent feature of Indian summer Monsoon(ISM). It is a subtropical anticyclonic feature located in the Southern Indian Ocean. The relationship between ISMR and Mascarenes highs is quite complex and is attributed to thermal and pressure gradients developed between the two regions (particularly during JJAS season) developed due to differential heating of land and water in the two regions. Global warming hiatus (comparative cooling of ocean waters in western Pacific) post 1998 have led to redistribution of thermal energy across the Indonesian through flow to the Indian ocean as a result the region has experienced rising SSTs. Declining Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP), rising SST and latitudinal and longitudinal shifts in the mean annual location of the centre of MH have led to reconfiguration of the relationship of Mascarene High with Indian Summer Monsoon. This changing relationship may be considered as one of many factors controlling recent revival/strengthening of Indian Summer Monsoon in recent times.Keywords
