Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) or gonarthrosis is a chronic disease with a high prevalence in the adult population, which causes a significant physical limitation, which directly impacts the quality of life of patients. Surgical treatment in patients diagnosed with OA has shown good results in pain management, as well as in improving the functional capacity and mobility of the patient.

A Cu2+-sensitive fluorescent probe P based on naphthalimide derivative was designed and characterized. Study showed that P had good selectivity to Cu2+ among the tested metal ions. The fluorescent intensity was proportional to the concentration of Cu2+ in the range of 1.5×10-6-7.0×10-6 M with a detection limit of 5.0×10-7 M Cu2+. The possible binding mode of P with Cu2+ was also proposed.

Varuna (Cratevanurvala Buch-Ham.) belongs to the family Capparaceae is used therapeutically for various ailments since ancient times. It is considered to be one of the holly and sacred trees in India. Varuna has bitter (Tikta) , astringent (Kashaya) taste (Rasa), its Vipaka is Katu with Ushna Veerya. It alleviates Kapha, vatadoshas, but aggravates pitta dosha mainly due to ushnaveerya.

Objectives: Assessment of range of motion (ROM) in Physical therapy field is essential for both normal and abnormal subjects, with modern innovations in technology. The physical therapist becomes in need to use available, cheap, quick and easily applicable software for measuring joint angle ROM. This study was conducted to investigate the validity of Kinovea software for measuring shoulders joint ROM in patients with Hemiplegia.

Background: This research goes on the line of studies focused on the evaluation of the effect of the use of virtual reality on the state of anxiety in patients; specifically, during the preoperative care.

Introduction: Intussusception is not commonly seen in adults. There are various causes of Intussusception in adults. Commonly these are due to malignant tumours. Some benign tumours are also encountered. Aim of the study: To study the cause of intestinal obstruction in this case. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata.Result: This is a case study of an elderly man with intestinal obstruction who was admitted to the hospital with pain abdomen and mass in the abdomen. USG revealed a mass containing fat.

Background: Root canal treatment is a procedure that allows to preserve the dental organs, even when they have presented infectious processes due to the direct or indirect presence of microorganisms in the oral environment.

Antimicrobial disinfectants are widely used in different food processing industry across the world. In attention to extent uses of disinfectants, it is necessary to evaluate and validate the efficacy of disinfectants and employing the minimum effective dosages.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of the Cubbin-Jackson and Braden scales for assessing pressure ulcer risk in patients hospitalized in the Adult Intensive Care Unit of the Naval Medical Center. Background: There is evidence that 3-34% of patients hospitalized in general wards develop ulcers during their stay. Patients admitted to Intensive Care Units are at high risk of developing pressure ulcers, with an incidence ranging from 3.3 to 52.9%(1). On average, 7-23% of hospitalized patients in Europe and North America have pressure ulcers.

The condition of care in the critical care unit scenario, based on the perception of the patient hospitalized in an ICU, is being analyzed as an object of study because it represents a situational crisis for the patient, caused by the critical condition of his health, in an environment with advanced technology where the nursing professional and the patient coincide. In such a way that the connection of the patient with the environment is broken, which implies that he depends on humanized care.
