This study aims to understand more about the effects of screen time on the eyes, musculoskeletal problems, and work efficiency in IT professionals. Problems faced by the people and the measures taken to solve them: A questionnaire was designed and distributed among IT professionals. Respondents discussed their issues regarding their eyes, musculoskeletal problems, and efficiency at work. Furthermore, respondents were asked if they and their organizations were taking any measures to deal with the issues due to the excessive effects of screen time. Insights were also drawn on how they can improve the current working system to deal with the impact of screen time. These insights were represented in the form of a word chart. In conclusion, a significant percentage of the population faces screen-related problems, but many people are not taking any measures to deal with them. Organizations and employees alike are advised to take these problems seriously and start implementing their solutions as soon as possible.

Ageing is a universal phenomenon besides an ascriptive status of an individual. Being continuing process, it is characterised by conception and death. Socio-cultural factors play a vital role in determining the status of an individual as an “old”. It is inevitable stage in which majority of the elderly people undergo through numerous economic, social and psychological problems which vary from individual to individual (Kumar, 2016). Furthermore, the determination of elderly age differs from country and society in accordance with the system and its sub-systems. In general, people reached the old age stage by adding the number of years from time of birth. But there is no one-to-one relationship between the age and the characteristics commonly assigned to that age. The problem is compounded particularly in under-developed countries with wide socio-economic differences, by the fact that some individuals are energetic and dynamic even at the age of 75, while some individuals are lazy and have withdrawn themselves from active life even at the age of 50. On the contrary, in developed countries, the aged are very active even at the age of 70 and above, because of special diet, good health care, physical and mental conditions, healthy environment and the cultural aspect of their work mindedness (Sharma, 2009).

WATSU (Water Shiatsu) are healing situation methods including inactive stretches, alive changes and massage techniques executed in 35°C warm water. Pregnant daughters need cautious forms to weaken pain, stress, and fatigue. Therefore, we conducted a ship study judging the belongings of WATSU on gestation-connected complaints in meaningful wives. Nine athletic significant women at gestational period ≥28 were contained in an attack group (taking WATSU) and distinguished to eight women in a lifeless control group (taking no situation). WATSU was acted on days 1 and 4 of the study. Outcomes include corporal and psychometric in addition to subjective dossier. Participants in the control group achieved questionnaires only. WATSU was found to considerably lower partners’ levels of stress and pain and to better their insane fitness-related status of existence and character. In comparison to the lifeless control group, participants in the invasion group stated decline in seen stress from epoch 1 to day 8 (P=0.036), Cohen’s f=0.57). Qualitative dossier display that WATSU was enjoyed as pleasing and intensely relaxing. No negative aftereffects were stated. Our judgments support the whim that WATSU yields therapeutic benefits for significant mothers and warrant further research.

Frozen shoulder also known as adhesive capsulitis is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint. It occurs when the tissues in the shoulder joint become thick and stiff and making it difficult to move the shoulder. It is an experimental design conducted in SGT medical college amongst 40 to 60 years population in the department of physiotherapy collaborative to the department of community medicine. To investigate the impact of Matrix Rhythm Therapy on shoulder joint discomfort, restricted ROM, and quality of life. There were three scale used NPRS, SPADI and WHOQL. It was observed that in comparison of conventional group the experimental group was more significant with highly effective results. Shoulder pain was common in today’s perspective due to cause of change in lifestyle and quality of life.

Information related to health and chronic diseases is freely accessible to the public via social media platforms, such as Instagram. Proper knowledge and interventions can result in the management of diseases and improve patient behaviour while misinformation leads to poor patient outcomes. To analyse the relevance and authenticity of information about diabetes available on the social media platform (Instagram). The study was a web-based cross-sectional observational study without direct human participation. Data was collected from the top-performing 600 posts on Instagram, under the top six key search words related to diabetes and its management. The collected data was further analysed in Microsoft Excel and reviewed according to the latest WHO guidelines on diabetes. Only 448 out of 600 posts were found to be relevant to the study. While only 142 posts (31.70%) had amassed more than 500 likes, none of the posts had more than 500 comments each. 176 posts (39.26%) originated from unverified sources whereas 46 posts (10.27%) were contributed by doctors. Only 79 posts (17.63%) had any description of diabetes as a disease. Information on prevalence, aetiology, prevention, treatment or mortality was unavailable in 413 (92.19%), 381 (85.04%), 309 (68.97%), 338 (75.45%) and 427 (95.31%) posts respectively. The authenticity of the information was not determined in 221 posts (49.33%) whereas misinformation was seen in 19 posts (4.24%). Social media platforms are beneficial to public health, provided verified information and guidelines issued by organisations such as the World Health Organisation are implemented and promoted.

Patient satisfaction is used as an outcome criterion and a standard tool for evaluating the level of nursing care provided. This study aimed to determine how satisfied hospitalized patients were with the quality of their nurses' care.An N=499 and an N=899 sample size group were used in a descriptive cross-sectional study of hospital-based medical treatment. Also, patients' ratings on the quality of their mental treatment were determined. Mean, standard deviation, t-test, and analysis of variance were calculated.The results indicate a mean value of 3.5, a standard deviation of 1.61, and a variance value of 1.269 and a margin of error 0.401 for this patient study. Those admitted to medical wards for treatment were the most pleased with the level of nursing care they got. It became clear from the data that there is room for development in the area of communication. The level of patient satisfaction with their nursing treatment was not correlated with any demographic or clinically relevant factors.

Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, have gained popularity as an alternative to traditional tobacco smoking. This article examines the current evidence on the role of e-cigarettes in health. While proponents argue that they are a safer alternative, concerns remain regarding nicotine addiction, respiratory health, cardiovascular effects, and youth initiation. E-cigarettes contain nicotine, an addictive substance, and their aerosols may contain harmful chemicals. Studies suggest potential adverse effects on cardiovascular and respiratory health, especially among young individuals. The long-term health consequences and efficacy as smoking cessation tools are still under investigation. Comprehensive regulation, education, and targeted interventions are crucial to address the potential health implications of e-cigarette use.
