Low Level Laser Versus Acupuncture-Like Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation In Chronic Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Background: Shoulder disorder are common musculoskeletal disorders, one in every 5 persons experiences shoulder problems at some time in his / her life. It is a phenomena of mechanical compression of the rotator cuff against the anterior under surface of the acromion and caracoacromial ligament particularly during arm elevation. Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of low level laser therapy versus acupuncture like TENS in chronic shoulder impingement syndrome on intensity of pain, joint ROM and Functional level of shoulder.

A review on the effect of sulphur mustard on gene expression alterations, finding the most important molecular functions using gene set functional enrichment analysis

Background: Sulphur mustard (SM) is a very reactive agent and causes severe chemical burns. In addition to various cellular and molecular damages, SM affects the expression of several genes. The main aim of this study was to review SM-induced gene expression alterations. Furthermore, using enrichment analysis, we tried to identify the most important molecular functions involved in the occurrence of SM injury, based on the found gene sets. Methods: With the aim of finding genes associated with SM-induced injuries, the literature was reviewed and data were collected manually.

A study on the thermal properties of 100% Tencel fabric

A knitted fabric consist of forming yarn(s) into loops, each of which is typically only released after a succeeding loop has been formed and intermeshed with it so that a secure ground loop structure is achieved. In the knitted fabric, bamboo has different loop structure (single jersey, cross tuck, cross miss, twill weave). These fabrics are subjected to the testing air permeability, wicking test, thermal conductivity, water vapor permeability. Bamboo Knit Fabric is naturally bacteria and odor resistant, and is the practical, yet eco-friendly choice.
