Abstract:-
Objective: The aim of current study was to see the clinical efficacy of kinesio taping on pain & function in stage-IIknee osteoarthritis.
Method: A total of 60 patients were categorized into two groups: control group (N=30) & intervention group (N=30). Control group patients were received conventional physiotherapy & intervention group patients were received conventional physiotherapyplus kinesio taping. All patients were given treatment three times per week which was continued for four weeks. Pain was measured using visual analog scale & functional evaluation was conducted using Korean Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index.
Result: There was significant decrease in VAS and K-WOMAC score in kinesio taping group (KTG) than conventional treatment group (CTG) after four weeks of treatment.
Conclusion:Kinesio taping plus conventional physiotherapy is more clinically effective than conventional physiotherapy alone in terms of reducing pain & improving function in patients with stage-II knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract:-
Yoga and Pranayama has been practiced in the adolescent children to reduce their stress to promote physically, psychologically healthy and emotionally strong. Objectives 1. To assess the baseline stress level among adolescents in secondary schools among experimental and control group. Experimental research design was used for this study and the data was collected by using self administered rating scales. Sample 600 were selected are adolescents studying in 9th and 10th class from government and private schools. Out of 66 high schools in selected balapur mandal ,Ranga reddy district ,8 schools are selected for data collection by using simple random sampling technique.

Cellulose Hydrogels And Green Sustainable
Abstract:-
Cellulose is a highly abundant, green, sustainable, and biodegradable polymer. These characteristic features of cellulose make it a useful polymer for the synthesis of bio based hydrogel /or soft material for various applications. This article is focused on the preparation of biodegradable and biocompatible cellulose-based hydrogels using different methods based on the crosslinking agents used and the solvents used for cellulose dissolution. A study on the classification of different types of hydrogels was also reported. This article also discusses the self-healing cellulose-based hydrogel, bacterial cellulose-based hydrogel and includes the use of cellulose hydrogel in agriculture, biomedical field such as wound healing, wound dressing, and tissue engineering, water purification, removal of heavy metal, and in environmentally beneficial supercapacitors.
