    Abstract: Aim: To compare the effects of stretching exercises & muscle energy techniques in the management of lower cross syndrome. Methods: In this parallel, randomized controlled trail fifty-eight patients were randomly assigned into two intervention groups. Group A received stretching technique and Group B received muscle energy technique, three sessions per week for total duration of four weeks. Results: Normality test applied and P values were noted by applying Shapiro-Wilk test both groups. Baseline measures for both groups showed no significant difference as the P value 〉 0.05. The paired t-test within the group of Stretching and Muscle Energy Technique showed significant difference in pre and post Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), pre and post Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and pre and post muscle length via inclinometer and goniometer. Independent t-test for post treatment groups between stretching group and muscle energy technique group was not significant i.e. P 〉 0.05. Conclusion: The study concluded that statistically there is no significant difference in variables of both groups i.e. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), bilateral muscle length of iliopsoas, hamstrings and rectus femoris as well as of erector spinae. However, mean values of above mentioned parameters show a little more improvement in Muscle Energy Technique group. Keywords: Stretching, Muscle Energy Technique, Lower Cross Syndrome, Muscle imbalance.

    Abstract: Objective: To assess the oral manifestations in the people of Islamabad and Rawalpindi affected with COVID-19. Materials and Methods:Study design and setting: It is descriptive cross sectional study which was conducted on 250 both male and females participants who had suffered from COVID-19 over the duration of 6 months in Islamic International Dental Hospital Islamabad. Participants were from Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Questionnaire: Subjects participated in a web based questionnaire assessing the oral manifestations of COVID-19. These included facial pain, pain while eating(masticatory pain) , burning sensation in the oral cavity, dryness of mouth (xerostomia), loss of taste and oral mucosal lesions. Results: Out of 250, 105male and 145 females participate in this study. 40 % (n=100) participants experienced pain in the face region out of whom 40% (n=40) had pain in the head region. 46% participants reported to have pain on mastication out of which 47.8% had pain on messeter muscle. 46% participants had burning sensations in the oral cavity.60% participant’s experienced dry mouth. Moreover 70% participants experienced loss of taste sensations. Only 24% reported with oral mucosal lesions.6% participants developed blisters/ulcers out of which majority developed them on the tongue. Conclusion: This study concluded that oral manifestations are important for early detection of COVID-19 patients and majority of these patients showed loss of taste.

    Abstract: The generation and use of energy are significant contributors to CO2 emissions. Globally, approximately 30% to 40% of all energy consumption can be directly or indirectly linked to buildings. Nearly half of energy usage in buildings is linked to maintaining the thermal comfort of the inhabitants. Therefore, finding solutions that are not only technically but also economically feasible is of utmost importance. Though much research has been conducted to address this issue, most solutions are still costly for developing countries to implement practically. This study endeavors to find a less expensive yet straightforward methodology to achieve thermal comfort while conserving energy. This study takes a broader view of multiple habitat-related CO2 emission issues in developing regions and describes a hybrid solution to address them. New technologies and innovative concepts are being globally examined to benefit from the considerable potential of PCMs and their role in thermal energy storage (TES) applications for buildings. The current study numerically investigates the thermal response of a hybrid building envelope consisting of PCM and local organic waste materials for low-cost low-energy buildings. The local organic waste materials used are those whose disposal is usually done by burning, resulting in an immense amount of greenhouse gases. In the first phase, different waste materials are characterized to determine their thermophysical properties. In the second phase, a low-cost, commonly available PCM calcium chloride hexahydrate, CaCl2·6H2O, is integrated with a brick and corn husk wall to enhance the thermal storage in the building envelope to minimize energy consumption. Temperature distribution plots are primarily used for analysis. The results show a marked improvement in thermal comfort by maintaining a maximum indoor temperature of 27 °C when construction is performed with a 6% corn husk composite material embedded with the PCM, while under similar conditions, the standard brick construction maintained a 31 °C indoor temperature. It is concluded that the integration of the PCM layer with the corn husk wall provides an adequate solution for low-cost and low-energy buildings.

    Serviceability Analysis of Pedestrian Overhead Bridges and Underpasses

    Abstract: A grade-separated crossing allows a bicycle/pedestrian to continue over or under a barrier without conflict with a vehicle. However, the serviceability of these facilities is compromised in underdeveloped countries, including Pakistan. This research examines the effectiveness of pedestrian bridges and underpasses in terms of their usage by pedestrians. A total of 80,017 pedestrian crossings were observed at four sites (3 overhead bridges and one underpass) for four weeks (one week per site) using manual and video photography. The data about age, gender, and serviceability of each pedestrian was collected and analyzed using the chi-square test, t-test, and descriptive analysis. The study site selection was based on different characteristics, i.e., the number of lanes, type of median barriers, and type of facility (bridge/underpass). The analysis shows that most of the pedestrians (71.83%) did not use the crossing facilities, resulting in the poor serviceability of these structures. A comparison between bridges and underpasses also reveals that underpass usage (62.5%) is statistically more significant than bridge usage (11.62%). There is an effect of age (p 〈 0.001) and gender (p 〈 0.001) on the serviceability of these facilities as well, with pedestrians aged more than 25 years old and females using the facilities more than their counterparts. The study also provides implications for the effect of barriers and the height of facilities on the serviceability of these facilities. The number of lanes and the presence of a median barrier, as well as the height of the facility (number of steps), are the primary factors influencing the serviceability of grade-separated pedestrian crossings. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-04-09 Full Text: PDF

    Abstract: Abstract                                                                          Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of dry needling and sustained pressure in the lumbar paraspinal trigger points in terms of pain threshold and muscle length. Methodology: 50 patients were randomly allocated in experimental and control group having lumbar paraspinal muscle trigger points. Experimental and control groups received dry needling and sustained pressure along with stretching and strengthening exercises. Patients were assessed at 1st pre and 4th post session using Oswestry disability index, paraspinal muscle length, visual analogue scale and pain pressure threshold using algometer. Results: Pain pressure threshold and visual analogue scale showed significant results whereas Oswestry disability index and paraspinal muscle length showed no significant results (P 〉 0.01). Analysis within the group showed significant difference from pre to post intervention level (P 〈 0.01) in terms of pain pressure threshold, paraspinal muscle length, Oswestry disability index and visual analogue scale in experimental and control group. Conclusion: Pain was improved using dry needling. However, no significant improvement was seen in patient’s disability and lumbar paraspinal muscle length. Key words: Dry needling, Oswestry disability index, Paraspinal muscle, Trigger points, Visual analogue scale.
