Objectives: Using Ocular Coherence Tomography, the study aimed to examine the RNFL thickness of type diabetics, patients with Diabetic Retinopathy, and healthy persons. Methods: 101 patients from the outside patient department and the Retina department of Tertiary Eye Care Hospital participated in this research. The cross-sectional study design was used. Non-probability consecutive sampling was utilized as the sampling technique. Patients were selected according to inclusion criteria. Visual Acuity was assessed using an (ETDRS) Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study Visual acuity chart at a distance of 6m. After the Ophthalmological Examination was done by a doctor, Ocular Coherence Tomography (Heidelberg Spectralis) was performed to assess RNFL thickness. The association between different types of diabetic retinopathy, Type-2 Diabetes, Normal Healthy, and retinal RNFL thickness was determined using a one-way ANOVA test. Results: The age range of the participants was between 40 and 69 years, with a mean of 55.68 ±10.437 years. 15.3% had diabetes for 1 to 5 years. 24% had Diabetes for 6 to 10 yea 19.9% had a Diabetes duration of 19.9%. The RNFL thickness was significantly decreased in type 2 diabetics, NPDR, and PDR as compared to normal Healthy individuals (p<.001). Age and duration of diabetes were closely correlated with the retinal nerve fiber layer (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study indicated that the (retinal nerve fiber layer) RNFL was considerably thinner in all quadrants of diabetic retinopathy (NPDR, PDR), type 2 diabetics, and healthy persons. Age and duration of diabetes were significantly correlated with average RNFL thickness.

Cardiac arrest refers to the sudden and abrupt loss of heart function. There are many cardiac arrests and only a 14% survival rate due to delays in patient reporting and in giving Basic Life Support (BLS). The purpose of this study was to determine how basic life support (BLS) training affected the knowledge, attitudes, and BLS practices of lay officers at the Kartika Husada Clinic in Malang. The research design was one group pretest and post-test. The population was all non-medical officers at the Kartika Husada Malang Clinic, totaling 17 people. The sample was 17 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. The research was conducted on 16-17 February 2022 at the Kartika Husada Clinic, Malang. The variables of this study were the knowledge, attitudes and practices of non-medical staff at the Kartika Husada Malang Clinic after providing BLS training interventions. The statistical test used Wilcoxon and the results show that the knowledge with p-value of 0.02; attitude with p-value of 0.03; and practice p-value of 0.01. These three variables show the effect of BLS training on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of non-medical staff at Kartika Husada Malang Inpatient Clinic. This result was motivated by exposure to previous information, education level, and body mass index. After this research was conducted and provided training to non-medical staff, it could be applied if they find a heart attack case at the Kartika Husada Clinic.

Background: Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease of the synovial joint. The structural damage results in collapse of the cartilage and subchondral bone leading to symptoms of pain, stiffness and dysfunction. Physiotherapy interventions not only reduce the symptoms but also slows down the disease progression. Neuromuscular Exercise is typically performed in functional weight bearing position and emphasizes the quality of movement and physical function. The aim was to find out the Effect of Neuromuscular Exercises on Pain, Quadriceps strength and Physical function among patients with Osteoarthritis. Methods: 27 patients with OA were selected and underwent Neuromuscular Exercise along with Conventional Quadriceps strengthening exercises, primary outcomes of Quadriceps strength was measured using Handheld dynamometer and Physical function was measured using WOMAC Scale. Results: The statistical analysis was made using ANOVA method, the patients who received Neuromuscular Exercises showed decrease in pain, improvement in Quadriceps strength and Physical Function. The Data analysis was done using ANOVA, and SPSS software v 22.0. The Statistical Analysis showed a significant improvement in Pain after the Neuromuscular Exercises. Pain and Physical function (WOMAC: p<0.05; p = 0.01) and Quadriceps strength (Dynamometer: p<0.05; p = 0.03). Conclusion: The study concluded that Neuromuscular exercises along with conventional therapy was effective in reducing Pain and improving Quadriceps strength and Physical function among patients with Knee Osteoarthritis.

In comparison to the majority of essential health indices, the health care system in Malaysia has performed exceptionally well. Despite this, it is still behind the techniques used in many other Asian countries, despite its great potential. The primary reason for this is that patients in Malaysia are subjected to a significant amount of financial risk while seeking medical treatment. The implications of health care finance in Malaysia are investigated in this study, with a particular focus on access and equality issues. This exemplifies the urgent requirement for novel ways to the financing of medical care that are compliant with the norms that have been established. According to the findings of this study, it is recommended that efforts should be increased by employing policy changes to include money pooling and risk sharing, subsidization for the poor and the vulnerable, and mandatory enrollment. In addition, it is recommended that the efforts be increased by employing policy changes to include money pooling and risk sharing. Finally, the implication for public policy indicates that the government ought to commit to the tremendously feasible improvement of the nation's healthcare system through spending.

An epididymal cyst is a scrotal complaint that is usually resolved by surgery. However, multiple post-surgical complications are common, including recurrence, hematoma, abscess, and chronic scrotal swelling. This case study presents homeopathic medicine managing a fairly large-sized epididymal cyst which might encourage physicians to re-think surgical options. A 24 years male presented with pain in the lower pelvic region and swelling in the scrotum; an ultra-sonogram of the scrotum diagnosed a 2.8 cm × 1.9 cm sized epididymal cyst, and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) confirmed that it was a spermatocele. He was prescribed homeopathic medicine, i.e., Arnica montana, Calcarea fluorica, and Calcarea phosphorica, for his spermatocele. After seven weeks of homeopathic treatment, the cyst size was reduced to 4.8mm×2.2mm. This case study concludes that homeopathic medication resulted in a significant outcome. It also encourages the consideration of homeopathic remedies as an alternative to surgery in treating epididymal cysts.
