Aim. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the reduction of edema and pain with the use of elastic stockings.Method. The effect of walking on a treadmill for 50 minutes in the evening wearing elastic compression stockings on pain and edema was evaluated in a prospective randomized crossover clinical trial. In Assessment 1, the legs of participants were measured by volumetry at 7:00 a.m. and they were asked to perform their normal daily activities and to return at 4:00 p.m. Forty-two legs of 21 female patients with ages of the participants ranged from 32 to 72 years with signs and symptoms of chronic venous disease. The sizes of the legs of all patients were evaluated by water displacement volumetry and a visual analog scale was used to assess pain.Results. After walking for 50 minutes on the treadmill, the volume reduced (pairedt-test:pvalue < 0.03). In relation to pain, there was a reduction in pain after the treadmill session using the elastic stocking (Wilcoxon signed rank test:pvalue < 0.007).Conclusion. The reduction of edema and pain of the legs during the course of the day can be accomplished with the use of elastic stockings, as well as walking.

Wasp stings are common especially during the warmer months when people are outside for longer periods of time. They are equipped with a stinger for self-defence. A wasp’s stinger contains venom that is transmitted to humans during a sting. Local manifestations following stings are common and usually life-threatening anaphylax- is may occur. Most of the cases involve one or a few stings where only local symptoms without any serious aller- gic reactions. In such cases Vishaghna lepas (antitoxic topical applications) can be used as it nullifies the harmful or poisonous effects along with medicinal intake. Here, in this study, the efficacy of Kushmandabeejadi lepa churna, mentioned in Kriyakoumudi (traditional book on toxicology) for wasp sting is studied by administering it along with another widely practiced classical preparation. Aim and Objectives- The study was conducted to study the efficacy of Kushmandabeejadi lepa against Sigrupunarnavadi lepa along with Dasanga agada in the management of Wasp sting Methods- A clinical study with 20 participants fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria was selected alternately and assigned in to two groups. Group 1(trial group) received Kushmanadabeejadi lepa Churna and Group 2(control group) received Sigrupunarnavadi lepa churna five times daily for a period of three days, both as external application. Fourth day was observatory period and assessment was done on fifth day. In both groups, Dasanga Agada was used as common internal medicine. Results-The outcome variables – pain, itching, erythema and swelling were assessed for the change in mean score values. Data were analysed statistical- ly using Mann-Whitney U Test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The result obtained was significant in relieving the cardinal symptoms of wasp sting Conclusion- The overall effect shows that both the treatments individually were significant in the management of wasp sting and Kushmandabeejadi lepa is equally effective in managing the signs and symptoms produced by wasp sting when compared with Sigrupunarnavadi lepa.

Objective: To determine the reproducibility of duplex ultrasound in the measurement of reflux duration in lower limb veins. Design: Repeatability study. Setting: Vascular clinic in a tertiary referral centre. Participants: Twenty-one patients with severe venous disease. Interventions: Patients were scanned using duplex ultrasound by two of three observers, then rescanned by a different pair of observers after a mean interval of 51 days. Main outcome measures: Duration of venous reflux. Results: On a Wilcoxon signed rank test, observers 2 and 3 showed no significant interobserver variability. The other pairs of observers agreed at the majority of segments, but differed at the popliteal vein ( p≤0.001), and superficial femoral and common femoral veins ( p≤0.05). Observer 2 showed no significant intraobserver variability, but observer 1 differed at the common femoral and superficial femoral veins ( p≤0.05), and observer 3 differed at the short saphenous vein ( p≤0.05). Conclusions: Reproducibility was reasonable at certain sites, but appeared to be influenced by position of the vein.

The working practice of the engineering students is part of the learning process that is irreducible and indispensable. The composition of  lecturing between theoretical and practical one is 40% to 60%. With this condition, the students spend more time at the laboratory. Generally, the students perform in the laboratory work by standing position. The design of research is observational cross-sectional. The method applied is observation, interview and measuring. The subjects of research are practicing students amounting to 21 students. Referring to the analysis of statistical test or Wilcoxon signed ranks test, the difference of effect of work position is significant, namely p < 0.05 towards musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) before and after working. The quantity of the average complaint after working is score 44.62 ± 9.47. The result of Wilcoxon signed rank test shows that there is significant different effects of standing work position, namely p < 0.05 towards fatigue generally before and after working. The degree of the working pulse is on the average of 110.78  ± 17.80 bpm (beats per minutes) which can be categorized into the medium workload. Using paired t-test, the result is p < 0.05.

(1) Purpose: To assess the main corneal response differences between normal and subclinical keratoconus (SCKC) with a Corvis® ST device. (2) Material and Methods: We selected 183 eyes of normal patients, of a mean age of 33 ± 9 years and 16 eyes of patients with SCKC of a similar mean age. We measured best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and corneal topography with a Pentacam HD device to select the SCKC group. Biomechanical measurements were performed using the Corvis® ST device. We carried out a non-parametric analysis of the data with SPSS software (Wilcoxon signed rank-test). (3) Results: We found statistically significant differences between the control and SCKC groups in some corneal biomechanical parameters: first and second applanation time (p = 0.05 and p = 0.02), maximum deformation amplitude (p = 0.016), highest concavity radius (p = 0.007), and second applanation length and corneal velocity ((p = 0.039 and p = 0.016). (4) Conclusions: Our results show that the use of normalised biomechanical parameters provided by noncontact tonometry, combined with a discriminant function theory, is a useful tool for detecting subclinical keratoconus.
