Background: Due to cartilage damage adduction movement increased at knee joint which alters biomechanics of joint. All muscles attached get overstretched, tightened and trigger points formed in them produces pain functioning Objective: To determine treatment approach either integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique INIT combined with conventional or alone was effective reducing pain, improv...

Morphological plasticity can enable algae to adapt environmental change and increase their invasibility when introduced into new habitats. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of knowledge on how such affect the invasion process an invasive species. In this context, high in genus Caulerpa well documented. However, after extremely hot summer, previously unreported filamentous morphology cylindrac...

The development of adaptive resistance of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis ATCC 4931 biofilms following exposure to benzalkonium chloride (BC) either continuously (1 microg ml(-1)) or intermittently (10 microg ml(-1) for 10 min daily) was examined. Biofilms adapted to BC over a 144-h period could survive a normally lethal BC challenge (500 microg ml(-1) for 10 min) and then regrow, as de...

Finding an appropriate end-to-end congestion control scheme for each type of flow, such as real-time or multicast flows, may be difficult. But it becomes even more complex to have these schemes be friendly among themselves and with TCP. The assistance of routers within the network for fair bandwidth sharing among the flows is therefore helpful. However, most of the existing mechanisms that prov...

A popular community repository such as Docker Hub, PyPI, or RubyGems distributes tens of thousands of software projects to millions of users. The large number of projects and users make these repositories attractive targets for exploitation. After a repository compromise, a malicious party can launch a number of attacks on unsuspecting users, including rollback attacks that revert projects to o...

Streptococcus suis infection is an emerging zoonosis in Asia. The most common disease manifestation is meningitis, which is often associated with hearing loss and cochleovestibular signs. S. suis infection in humans mainly occurs among risk groups that have frequent exposure to pigs or raw pork. Here, we report a case of S. suis meningitis in a 67-yr-old pig carcass handler, who presented with ...

AIMS A new diagnostic strategy to improve the detection of pathogens in heart valves (HVs) from patients with infective endocarditis (IE) was evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS Three hundred and fifty seven HVs surgically removed from 326 patients with proven IE or suspicious intra-operative findings, examined by 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and culture were retrospectively analysed a...
