Clinical Evaluation of Ferrum Phosphoricum 3X in the Management of Iron Deficiency Anaemia in Children
type: item
description: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the most prevalent nutritional deficiency disorder affecting children worldwide, particularly in developing countries like India. It adversely impacts physical growth, cognitive development, immunity, and overall well-being. Conventional management largely depends on iron supplementation, which is often associated with gastrointestinal intolerance and poor compliance. Homoeopathy aims at improving absorption and utilization of iron rather than direct supplementation. Ferrum phosphoricum3X, a biochemic and homoeopathic remedy, is widely indicated in anaemic conditions, especially in children. This article highlights the clinical features, diagnostic approach, risk factors, and homoeopathic management of iron deficiency anaemia in children, with special emphasis on the role of Ferrum phosphoricum 3X in improving haemoglobin levels and overall health status.

"Burkholderia Septicaemia in a Child with Atrial Septal Defect and Pulmonary Hypertension: A Rare Clinical Association"
type: item
description: Background: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a common congenital cardiac anomaly that often remains asymptomatic until adulthood. If undiagnosed or untreated, it can result in severe complications such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which markedly worsens patient outcomes. Early detection and management are therefore essential to prevent irreversible pulmonary vascular changes. Objectives: To highlight the clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and management of a pediatric patient with a large ostium secundum ASD complicated by moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension and secondary infection. Methods: A 7-year-old female presented with progressive dyspnea, fatigue, fever, and coryza. The patient had a history of recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. A 2D echocardiography revealed a large ostium secundum ASD (20×21 mm), mild right ventricular systolic dysfunction, mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, and moderate PAH. The patient was initiated on intravenous furosemide (Lasix), and strict input–output monitoring was maintained. Blood cultures were obtained due to persistent fever and systemic symptoms. Results: Blood culture grew Burkholderia cepacia and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CONS), confirming a secondary infection. The patient was treated with intravenous ceftazidime for 11 days, with close hemodynamic and respiratory monitoring in the pediatric intensive care unit. Clinical improvement was noted, and pulmonary pressures were stabilized with ongoing management. Conclusions: This case emphasizes the importance of early echocardiographic evaluation in children with recurrent respiratory infections to rule out underlying cardiac defects such as ASD. Timely medical management and infection control are crucial in preventing further deterioration and in improving the prognosis of patients with ASD-associated PAH.

“Metabolic Encephalopathy in a Hypertensive Patient with Hyponatremia: A Case Report”
type: item
description: Background: Metabolic encephalopathy is a reversible neurological disorder caused by systemic metabolic disturbances. Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte imbalance associated with altered sensorium, and its impact can be amplified in patients with chronic hypertension, potentially leading to severe cerebral dysfunction. Objectives: To present a case illustrating the interplay between acute hypertensive crisis and metabolic derangement, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and management in preventing neurological deterioration. Methods: We report the clinical course of an 80-year-old hypertensive female who presented with sudden loss of hearing and vision, confusion, restlessness, nausea, and headache. Vital signs, laboratory investigations, and immediate interventions, including intravenous antihypertensive therapy, were documented. Results: On presentation, the patient had a blood pressure of 220/104 mmHg and was administered 20 mg IV Labetalol. Rapid intervention stabilized her blood pressure and prevented progression of metabolic encephalopathy. No prior cerebrovascular events were noted, though the patient had a history of myocardial infarction. Prompt management led to stabilization of neurological and metabolic status. Conclusions: This case underscores the critical need for early recognition and management of hypertensive crises in patients at risk of metabolic encephalopathy. Controlling blood pressure and correcting metabolic imbalances can prevent rapid neurological decline and improve patient outcomes.

Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Protocol for Pseudomonas-Induced Knee Septic Arthritis: A Single Subject Research
type: item
description: BACKGROUND: Septic arthritis, especially due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can cause rapid joint damage and long-term disability if not managed properly. Early physiotherapy, alongside medical and surgical treatment, is essential to restore mobility, reduce complications, and ensure full functional recovery. This study highlights the importance of timely rehabilitation in a young patient with knee septic arthritis. OBJECTIVE: This case report demonstrates the significance of early and structured physiotherapy in aiding the recovery of a 20-year-old male diagnosed with septic arthritis of the knee resulting from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The objective was to alleviate pain and inflammation, restore joint mobility, and regain functional strength and independence. MATERIALS & METHODS: Following confirmation of Pseudomonas infection, the patient underwent arthrotomy and synovectomy. Subsequently, a comprehensive physiotherapy program was initiated. The initial phase involved cryotherapy, passive range of motion (ROM) exercises, and isometric strengthening to manage inflammation and prevent stiffness. Over a period of eight weeks, the rehabilitation progressed to active ROM, resistance exercises, balance, and proprioception training, gradually enhancing mobility and strength. RESULTS: By the fourth week, the patient achieved 90° of knee flexion with improved pain management and reduced swelling. By the eighth week, the patient attained 120° of knee flexion, along with restored strength and joint stability. Functional mobility showed significant improvement, enabling the patient to resume daily activities without complications. CONCLUSION: Early and customized physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the recovery from septic arthritis, particularly when caused by aggressive pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This case underscores the importance of a gradual rehabilitation protocol in preventing long-term disability, optimizing joint function, and facilitating a successful …

CORRELATION BETWEEN WORKING POSTURE AND CORE STRENGTH IN LABORERS WORKING IN MECHANICAL INDUSTRIES- A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
type: item
description: BACKGROUND: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are highly prevalent in manual labor sectors and significantly affect workers' health and productivity. Poor working postures, particularly in mechanical industries, are a major contributing factor to MSDs. Core strength is essential for maintaining spinal stability and preventing musculoskeletal injuries. OBJECTIVE: To examine the correlation between working posture and core strength in laborers working in mechanical industries. MATERIALS & METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 laborers aged 20–50 years employed in mechanical industries. Working posture was assessed using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) scale, while core strength was measured using the Modified Sphygmomanometer Test (MST). Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between REBA scores and MST scores. RESULTS: Most participants (68%) were categorized as having a medium risk for MSDs based on REBA scores. Additionally, 62% of the subjects showed decreased core strength, with MST scores below 40 mmHg. A moderate negative correlation (r = -0.6957, p < 0.00001) was observed between REBA and MST scores, indicating that poor working posture is associated with reduced core strength. CONCLUSION: Laborers in mechanical industries are at moderate risk of developing MSDs due to poor working postures, which correlate with diminished core strength. These findings emphasize the importance of ergonomic interventions and core strengthening programs to reduce MSD risk and enhance worker health and productivity.

A SCOPING REVIEW ON: CORRELATION BETWEEN FLAT FOOT AND KNEE PAIN IN BALANCE
type: item
description: This study shows the biomechanical correlation between flat feet and knee pain in balance. Study shows that individuals with flat feet experience altered biomechanics, affecting the alignment of the knee joint during weight-bearing activities. This biomechanical shift is linked to an increased risk of knee pain, particularly in tasks requiring balance and ling standing. Muscle imbalances, gait abnormalities, and weight distribution further contribute to challenges in maintaining knee joint stability and equilibrium. Understanding these relationships is crucial for informing targeted interventions to alleviate knee pain and improve balance in individuals with flat feet, with potential implications for preventive strategies and future research directions.

Impact of Physical therapy in a Classical Case of ACL Tear Along with Meniscal Tear: A Case Report
type: item
description: ACL injury is the commonest injury in the sports players. Most common cause of ACL injury is twisting of knee or sudden stopping in the bend knee position this causes the anterior sliding of the femur on tibia. The injury to ACL alter the weight bearing pattern in the on the normal side and can lead to side to side asymmetry in the knee joint. The injury to ACL or tear can have negative long term physical and psychological effect. Ligament injury is accompanied with pain, popping sound, joint instability and swelling. Patients develop peculiar strategies of neuromuscular activation to prevent joint instability according to the motor task performed. Although being standardized in most of the clinical settings, the rehabilitation protocol should be susceptible to changes and adapted to the needs of the single patient at different timings over the entire recovery process. A 26 year old male patient came to OPD with pain and instability while climbing down the stairs and squatting after investigation he was diagnosed with grade 3 ACL tear with grade 3 medial meniscal tear for that he underwent a surgery. The graft was taken from semitendinosis muscle. The patient was started with ACL rehabilitation protocol and showed a good recovery and improved ROM and reduction in pain.

The benefit of physiotherapy in preventing post-burn sequelae- A case report
type: item
description: Background Burn injuries require a multi-disciplinary approach including psychological, surgical and rehabilitative. Physiotherapy is proven to be extremely helpful in the recovery process of such patients. Rehabilitation also helps in preventing post-burn sequela which is responsible for hindering the process. Patient Information A 36-year old female presents with burn injury caused by flame at her house 4 months ago. She was admitted to a local hospital where she received initial treatment. However, no physiotherapy sessions were done at the time. She was discharged with primary treatment alone due to inability to pay hospital bills. Now, the patient has come to our hospital with contractures developed on her anterior neck, shoulders and elbows bilaterally. She is a case of 30 % TBSA and superficial and partial thickness burns. She was admitted for contracture release with flap reconstruction. After the surgery, physiotherapy call was started. The sessions included educating and counselling the patient and relatives, maintaining joint integrity, teaching anti-contracture positioning, respiratory hygiene and teaching home exercise program. Conclusion Physiotherapy treatment given in the acute phase has proven to be helpful in preventing post-burn sequelae to a variable degree according to the literature. It is helpful in maintaining range of motion, preventing contractures and improving quality of life. This thus results in decreased surgical intervention and early recovery.

Physiotherapy Rehabilitation after maxillary Alveolectomy in Poorly Diagnosed Squamous Cell Carcinoma patient
type: item
description: Squamous cell carcinoma is the most widespread carcinoma of buccal mucosa in India. Tobacco is the strongest predictors for buccal carcinoma including alcohol. Buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma (BMSCC) appears to behave more rigorously than other subsides in the oral cavity because small anatomical barriers in the oral space do not essentially prevent tumour dissemination. Tumour management and disease control in the clinical nodes are the major priorities in the treatment of buccal mucosal carcinoma. Surgery followed by postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy is the preferred treatment in SCC of the buccal mucosa elsewhere and chemotherapy for favorable sufferers. The most common postoperative oral problems occurring are infection, pain, swallowing challenges, uncomfortable swallowing (odynophagia), distortion of voice (dysarthria), restricted movements at the operated site, chest pain and breathlessness, swelling of cheek, and limited mouth opening. In avoiding numerous challenges and treating clients to avert dysfunctions and regain proper actions physiotherapy serves an essential factor. Painful nonhealing ulcer over lower left back region of jaw (Pre- operative) 1 month back and now post -operative difficulty in mouth opening and restricted shoulder ROM at operated side, pain and breathlessness. Diagnosis was conformed of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (PDSCC) for left buccal mucosa which was confirmed by necessary investigations like biopsy, USG, MRI-CT Neck and other investigations like Liver Function Test, Blood Sugar and Urine, Radiograph (Pre-op PA Chest), ECG were done. Patient underwent a surgical treatment followed by rehabilitation. Physiotherapy management is found to be beneficial in achieving functional goals. The above study concludes that the definitive surgical approach and physiotherapy management is found to be effective in achieving functional goals.

VIRTUAL REALITY – BASED REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOLLOWING DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURE: A NOVEL APPROACH FOR SINGLE CASE STUDY
type: item
description: Background: Fracture of the distal radius and its incidences are very prominent in the elderly aged population mostly due to osteoporotic changes in the bone. This type of fracture are seen to be commonly treated fractures in India. As the ageing population is increasing these fracture numbers are also continues to increasing. If it is a displaced fracture palmar locking plate and fixation in cast for 4 to 6 weeks, if non-displaced immobilization and cast fixation is enough. Case Presentation: We report the 56 year old, post-menopausal female, with history of fall on the left side with arm by side and sustained a fracture of distal radius. On evaluation of patient, there was over all swelling including the distal and proximal forearm with no signs of neuro-vascular injury. Radiological investigations verify that it is non displaced fracture of distal radius, and managed conservatively with k wire fixation.
