Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a common condition in the elderly which is characterized by deterioration of memory, attention, and cognitive function that is beyond what is expected based on age and educational level. MCI does not interfere significantly with individuals’ daily activities. It can act as a transitional level of evolving dementia with a range of conversion of 10%–15% per year. Thus, an early detection is crucial to protect older people against MCI and developing dementia. A cross-sectional study with 75 participants of geriatric population to study the effect of advancing age on cognitive function in geriatric subjects by a memory questionnaire and MIDLANDS application. The p value of more than 0.5 was seen in attention (0.1>0.05), language comprehension (0.406>0.05), and agnosia (0.7>0.05) domains whereas a significance was seen in domains of memory(0.001<0.05), praxis (0.085<0.05) and visuospatial tasks(0.001<0.05). Thus amongst the three age groups, a notable decrease in memory as well as the other domains like praxis, visuospatial tasks and executive functions was seen. The young old and mid old were comparatively affected at a milder rate compared to the old geriatric population. Whereas in domains like language and attention no considerable decrease was noticed. It was also seen that co-morbid factors do a play a significant role in decrease of cognition with increase in age.

Every person goes through periods of low self-esteem at some stage in life, it’s unavoidable. Replacing this negative conditioning with more positive programming is critical to building a successful and harmonious life. Stress is perhaps the most common issue of man’s everyday life. Stress is so universal and widespread that it is considered as a hallmark of human life. Married women especially with responsibilities of job, children and ageing parents can particularly feel overwhelmed by stress of daily life and that might accentuate if women have lower esteem. Low self-esteem can lead to psychological effects that cause a person to be more susceptible to stressful situations. Conversely, high self-esteem can act as a sort of protection against high levels of stress. Individuals with low esteem tend to feel helpless, powerless, and incapable of overcoming the obstacles placed in front of them. People today suffer from stress in a range of situations. Stress is present in people’s lives and is believed to be the cause of psychopathologies, diseases, and inability to adapt to any given environment or work. Stress is considered a complex defensive-balancing mechanism of the body that develops in two stages: during the first stage, individuals assess the stressor and the demands stemming from it, and during the second stage, they evaluate whether or not they have enough resources to meet the stressor demands. The latter stage draws attention to the individual’s subjective assessment of the stressor, which conditions their reaction to it. Different people may react differently to the same stressor. The stress response refers to body reactions, which can either be physiological, emotional, or behavioral reactions to stimuli that cause stress.

Control of posture is a task that requires the summation of auditory, visual and somatosensory signals. Trunk plays a vital role in the loading of energy and connecting the lower and upper extremities. Nurses spent a lot of time on activities involving frequent bending and turning movements. These postures and movements when used for prolonged duration place static and dynamic stability demands and may increase the demands on the trunk muscle groups resulting in high risk for developing low back pain. The aim of this study was to find a relation between trunk extensor muscle endurance and dynamic postural stability among Nurses. 103 female and male nurses were recruited for the study based on the selection criteria. The nurses were evaluated for the trunk endurance using Bearing-Sorenson’s test. The Y-balance test and berg balance scale was used to know the dynamic postural stability. The mean trunk extensor muscle endurance was found to be 83.26 ± 17.72 seconds. The ‘Y’ balance was 88.24 ± 11.73 on the right side and 89.16 ± 12.09 on the left side. The mean Berg balance score was 30.13 ± 3.59. There was no significant relationship was noted between trunk muscle endurance and Y balance (p=.57). No significant association was observed for trunk muscle endurance with a Berg balance score (p= 0.727). We found no significant relationship existing between trunk extensor muscle endurance on dynamic postural stability among nurses. Trunk extensor muscle endurance may not be the major factor in maintaining dynamic postural stability. Keywords Posture, Muscles, Low Back Pain, Balance

This literature review article has drawn attention to the current available physical therapies which can be applied in managing Tennis Elbow or lateral epicondylitis (LET) whose prevalence is about 3% in general population and about 20% in elderly population. This condition is characterised by lesions in Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis muscle leading to painful and debilitating musculoskeletal condition and affecting the overall quality of life of a patient. The review has also discussed the updated pathophysiological findings in this condition. The study has discussed that tennis elbow is degenerative disorder and initially caused by inflammation. The typical pathology found is presence of disorderly arrangement of immature collagen fibers consisting of fibroblastic and vascular components. Finally, the review has discussed several methods of physical therapies to manage tennis elbow. This includes counterforce bracing, Soft tissue techniques, various modalities , various exercises including Wrist extensor eccentric exercise, stabilization exercise, Stretching exercises, Eccentric strengthening exercise and. Overall, the review brings updated guidelines of the exercises and physical rehabilitation therapy points for managing LET or Tennis Elbow.

Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in the world. Various studies have found musculoskeletal injuries in professional volleyball players, compared to elite players the recreational volleyball players are more subjected to musculoskeletal injuries due to lack of awareness about warm-up, cooldown, proper techniques of the play, and the surface used for playing. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in recreational volleyball players using the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. It is an observational study within urban areas including 69 (Male) volleyball players of age group between 18-45 with experience of minimum 3 years. For evaluation Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire was used, which denoted that there is a prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries observed in recreational volleyball players with highest prevalence in wrist followed by shoulder, elbow, knee, upper back, lower back, neck. This article reviews the specific injuries that are most common as a result of participating in the sport of outdoor volleyball. Reliability for the coefficients of questionnaire was found to be consistent with the Cronbach’s Alpha (.761). Conclusion- The present study identified that there is a high prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in recreational volleyball players (77.5%). Correlation was highly significant with hip / thigh injuries and were associated with shoulder (.416**) wrist / hand (.369**) lower back (.588**) knees (.659**) and ankle / foot (.465**) injuries.
