Background: It is well-known that deciency or over exposure to various elements has noticeable effects on human health. The effect of an
element is determined by several characteristics, including absorption, metabolism, and degree of interaction with physiological processes. Iron is
an essential element for almost all living organisms as it participates in a wide variety of metabolic processes, including oxygen transport,
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, and electron transport. The Study was Conducted Material and Methods: in department of Biochemistry
Guru Gobind Singh Medical College Faridkot. Ethical clearance was taken from institutional ethical committee. Proper informed consent was
taken from all the participitants. Out of 60 healthy patients, 30 were males and 30 females. The Correlation between iron in three time Result:
intervals on the same day (Morning – Evening and Morning – Afternoon )for morning – afternoon values, the p value was <0.001 and the r value
was 0.920. For morning – evening, the p value was <0.001 and r value was 0.928, which shows statistically highly signicant correlation.
Conclusion: It was conducted that Iron levels showed signicant diurnal variations on same day samples. The variation was statistically non
signicant for TIBC. Also no consistant pattern has observed for iron variation. So the time of day for Iron &TIBC estimation does not hold much
value and only a fasting sample is required.
Background: Facial palsy in paediatrics is very rare, and it doesn’t have any identifiable cause. Usually, exercises, massage, and taping are suggested. Since it is one of the rarest conditions and there is no optimal treatment recommended. The purpose of the study is to identify the effect of neuromuscular facilitation training in paediatric facial palsy.
Methodology: This is a Case series done with five children with facial palsy, and all underwent neuromuscular facilitation training and video-guided exercises. All patients were managed with conventional physiotherapy which includes, massage and facial movements. The conventional treatment was given for five days. Since the lockdown was proposed due to Covid 19, the parents and the children were called and taught neuromuscular facilitation training to the parents; along with that, and a handout was also given to them. The video call was made to the parent by the therapist and did exercises video-assisted. The initial two weeks it was video-guided, and later, the parents were doing the exercises, and the therapist monitored them through video. The improvement was measured using the House-Brackmann scale. Result; Three males and two female children were involved with an average of 6.2 years, and the duration of the symptoms is five days on average. On application of the neuromuscular facilitation training, a significant difference was obtained, and all the children become normal at 7th week. Conclusion: Neuromuscular facilitation training plays an essential role in stimulating the weakened facial muscles by the principle of irradiation. It shows better than traditional therapy in paediatric facial palsy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
