Potency determination was performed to evaluate that the marketed sample comply with the declared specification or not. In vitro Dissolution study was performed to see that if potency is high but the drug is not bioavailable. Hardness is also checked to see that whether it interfere with the dissolution which ultimately effect the bioavailability. In this present study a simple, cost effective and spectrophotometric method for the potency determination of marketed Diclofenac Sodium tablets is used. Four samples were randomly collected from the market and coded as M1, M2, M3 and M4 and the potency determined are 99.30%, 103.38%, 98.22% and 102.16% respectively. Hardness and in vitro dissolution of the above four brands of Diclofenac Sodium tablets were also studied and reported in the paper. After 1 h Dissolution release of M1, M2, M3 and M4 are 94.16%, 93.97%, 96.94% and 98.5% respectively. From all of the studies it seems that the samples were collected complies with the BP and USP requirements.Copyright (c) https://ijppronline.com/index.php/IJPPR/article/view/514Fabrication, Evaluation and Comparison of Metformin Tablets by Using Different Binders Effect on The Dissolution Rate2024-10-30T07:32:29+00:00Surendra Pardhisurendrapharma.pardhi64@gmail.comYogesh Dewaheinfo@ijppronline.comKalpana Patelinfo@ijppronline.comThe objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of commonly used binders on the dissolution rate of metformin tablets. Tablets each containing 100 mg of Metformin hydrochloride were formulated employing commonly used binders namely acacia, starch paste, polyvinyl pyrollidine (PVP K30), sucrose, methyl cellulose LV and hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC E5LV). For comparison purpose all the binders were used at the same strength, 2% w/v in the formula. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation method. All the tablets prepared were evaluated for drug content, hardness, friability, disintegration time and dissolution rate as per official methods. All the metformin tablets prepared using various binders disintegrated with in 2 min. Tablets formulated using acacia and sucrose as binders disintegrated very rapidly in30 and 40sec respectively when compared to others. Many variations were observed in the dissolution characteristics of the metformin hydrochloride tablets prepared and commercial brands tested. The binder used has significantly influenced the dissolution rate of metformin tablets prepared. Among all, tablets formulated using acacia and commercial product C3 gave rapid and higher dissolution of metformin hydrochloride. The order of increasing dissolution rate (K1) observed with various binders was acacia = C3 > starch paste > sucrose> methyl cellulose > PVP K30> C1 > C2 > HPMC. Tablets formulated using HPMC as binder and commercial brands C1and C2 gave relatively low dissolution of metformin hydrochloride .All the metformin tablets prepared and the three commercial brands tested fulfilled the dissolution rate specification of NLT 70% in 45min prescribed for metformin tablets in IP 2010. Hence acacia, starch paste, poly vinyl pyrollidine (PVP K30), sucrose and methyl cellulose LV are recommended as binders for the preparation of metformin hydrochloride tablets.Copyright (c) https://ijppronline.com/index.php/IJPPR/article/view/515Effectiveness Of Manipulation Along with Proprioceptive Technique on Pain and Functional Limitations in Relationship With Cervical Spine Among Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction-A Simple Experimental Study 2024-11-06T04:48:00+00:00Angel Elizabeth Martin Martin Thomas Correspondingauthor23@gmail.comSangeetha Ayyanarinfo@ijppronline.comSivakumar Chinnusamyinfo@ijppronline.comPradeepa Maniinfo@ijppronline.comBackground: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) affect the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), masticatory muscles, and related tissues, causing regional facial or jaw pain and functional difficulties with activities such as eating, yawning, and speaking. Common symptoms include pain in the TMJs or masticatory muscles, which can be triggered during clinical examination, and audible sounds from the TMJs. Physiotherapy, involving manipulation and proprioceptive techniques, has been shown to effectively reduce pain and enhance jaw mobility. Aim: This research aims to evaluate the combined effectiveness of manipulation and proprioceptive techniques in treating TMDs and to investigate their relationship with the cervical spine. Objectives: The primary goal is to assess the impact of integrating manipulation and proprioceptive techniques on TMD treatment outcomes and their association with the cervical spine in affected patients. Subjects and Methods: The experimental study included males and females aged 35-50 with TMD. Participants underwent a combined treatment of manipulation and proprioceptive techniques over 8 months. Pain and jaw function were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS) before and after 4 weeks of treatment. Results: Significant improvements were observed in TMD patients. The mean VAS score decreased from 5 before treatment to 2.53 afterward. The t-value exceeded the critical t-value at a 0.05 significance level. Similarly, the JFLS mean score increased from 6.67 pre-treatment to 8.33 post-treatment, with the t-value also surpassing the critical value at a 0.05 significance level. Conclusion: The study concludes that combining manipulation and proprioceptive techniques significantly reduces pain and improves jaw function in TMD subjects. Clinical Implications: Utilizing manipulation and proprioceptive techniques is effective in reducing pain and enhancing jaw function for individuals with TMD subjects.

Pneumonia that develops 48 hours or longer following hospital admission and is not incubating at the time of admission is referred to as hospital-acquired pneumonia. Objectives: The main goal of the study was to determine how well patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia responded to incentive spirometers, lung flute machines, and chest physical therapy in terms of mucus clearance, FEV, and FEV1. Subjects and Methods: There was a pre-test and post-test relative study design. based on the selected criteria Thirty patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia received were selected. The lot technique was used to arbitrarily divide them into two groups. Group A consisted of fifteen patients who underwent both casket exertion and incitement spirometer treatment. Group B consisted of fifteen individuals who underwent both the casket exertion and lung flute machine treatment. For six weeks, each group received treatment. Digital spirometry was used to measure the pretest and post-test score values on mucus concurrence, FEV, and FEV1. To examine the efficacy of the treatment, paired and unpaired "t" tests were used. Result: At the 0.05 level of significance, the group that received treatment with a lung flute machine and chest physiotherapy improved more in FVC and FEV1 than the other group that received treatment with an incentive spirometer and chest physiotherapy. Conclusion: After applying a lung flute machine and receiving chest physical therapy for six weeks for individuals who have hospital-acquired pneumonia, there is a notable improvement in FVC. Clinical Implications: When used in conjunction with chest physical therapy, the lung flute machine has been shown to significantly enhance participants' FEV1 and FVC in cases of hospital-acquired pneumonia.

The cause of POTS remains unknown. The dizziness experienced by patients is due to insufficient blood flow to the brain. POTS affects about 0.2% of the general population, with an estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 individuals in the United States living with the condition. It predominantly impacts women aged 15 to 50 years. Aquatic therapy, involving exercises performed in water, has shown benefits such as improving range of motion, initiating resistance training and weight bearing, promoting cardiovascular fitness, and enhancing relaxation for patients. Objectives: The purpose of the study is to prevent falls and improve the functional activities after the aquatic therapy in individual with Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Subjects And Methods: The study utilized a single case design and was carried out at the outpatient department of PPG College of Physiotherapy in Coimbatore. An 18-year-old female subject with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome participated, experiencing difficulties in functional activities and frequent falls. She underwent 12 sessions of aquatic therapy over three months. The outcome measures included the Short Falls Efficacy Scale for falls and the Vertigo Symptoms Scale for functional activities. Pretest and post-test values were recorded and analyzed. Result: The statistical report indicates that the pretest and post-test values of the Short Falls Efficacy Scale and Vertigo Symptoms Scale demonstrate significant improvement in a subject with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome who underwent aquatic therapy. The pretest and post-test values for the Short Falls Efficacy Scale were 24 and 8, respectively. For the Vertigo Symptoms Scale, the pretest and post-test values were 31 and 14, respectively. Conclusion: Thus, the study concluded that aquatic therapy resulted in statistically significant improvements in preventing falls and enhancing functional activities in a subject with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Clinical Implications: Aquatic therapy has a significant effect to preventing falls and improving functional activities in subjects with POTS.Copyright (c)
