Conventionally diabetic foot is treated with moist wound dressing and antibiotics but recent studies show that VAC dressing gives better results as compared to conventional saline dressing in treating Diabetic Foot Ulcers. This may decrease amputations rate, work load on hospitals, hospital stay, repeated hospital admissions, unemployment and can improve patient's quality of life. Objective of the study was to compare the effectiveness of Vacuum Assisted Closure therapy with saline dressing in management of diabetic foot ulcers in terms of granulation tissue formation and wound healing.
It will investigate a novel treatment approach for diabetic macular edema (DME), which causes vision impairment in diabetic patients. It will focuse on the efficacy and safety of administering triamcinolone acetonide via suprachoroidal injection, targeting the space between the sclera and choroid.
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the improvement in body composition effects of lifestyle intervention in subjects with metabolic syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is: Does life style intervention lower body fat% and gene methylation levels in subjects with metabolic syndrome? Participants will answer survey questions and get blood and body composition testing done at day 0, at 6 months and 12 months. Keep a diary of their food and activity and the number of times they use mobile health application.
This study aims to address the existing gap in knowledge by conducting a comprehensive comparison of the incidence of pain and common bile duct injuries in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy using Low pressure pneumoperitoneum versus high pressure pneumoperitoneum.
Type of Study: Randomized Controlled Trial Aim: To compare the effectiveness of two doses of sucrose solution for pain relief in neonates after minor procedures. Participants' Tasks: Receive either 0.2 ml or 0.5 ml of sucrose solution. Undergo minor procedures. Pain intensity assessment using the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP). Comparison Groups: Researchers compared the effects of administering 0.2 ml and 0.5 ml doses of sucrose solution on post-procedural pain in neonates.

This study is a randomised controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the Effects of Mulligan mobilization with movement as compared to Kaltenborn joint mobilization in the management of knee osteoarthritis." To determine the effects of Mulligan MWM as compared to Kaltenborn joint mobilization in terms of pain, function, range of motion and gait in persons with knee osteoarthritis.
Joint mobilization and resistance exercise training are effective conservative treatment options for the management of osteoarthritis. However, currently no study has highlighted the supplementary effects of resistance training in addition to joint mobilization in people suffering from knee osteoarthritis. The current study is aimed at bridging the gap in literature and providing evidence regarding the additive impact of resistance training to joint mobilization in knee osteoarthritis.
