Abstract: Background: To assess the applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in evaluating the Knee Joint in various Traumatic conditions along with grading of the various ligamentous and meniscal injuries based on laid criteria and Comparison of MRI findings with Arthroscopy. Material & Method: 50 patients with painful traumatic knee joint that are referred to Department of Radiodiagnosis from various departments. Results: joint effusion was seen in majority i.e., 44patients (88%). ACL tear was noted in more than two-third patients (34/50), with more than 50% among them having partial tears. Only few (5/50-10%) cases of posterior cruciate ligament injury was found in our study, out of which majority (80%) i.e., 4/5 were partial and only one patient had complete tear. Conclusion: MRI is an excellent, noninvasive, radiation-free imaging modality to achieve correct diagnosis with high sensitivity & specificity thereby helping in optimal management and avoiding unnecessary arthroscopies unless surgical management is contemplated.

Abstract: This is a descriptive quantitative research using one-group pretest-posttest design. The instrument had been tested using validity and reliability test. Data collection techniques of the study were tests, observations and documentation. Data was analyzed using normality test, homogeneity test and hypothesis testing. The research was conducted in SDK Larantuka 1 with a total of 16 Grade IV students consisting of 6 male and 10 female students were chosen as samples through saturated sampling technique. The results of data processing on students' pretest......

Abstract: Respiratory allergies are the major disorder of hypersensitivity of airway. There has been some limitation while treating this problem. In Siddha system of medicine many herbals and minerals are used to cure this disorder. Here, Vasanthakusumakara mathirai (VKM) a herbomineral formulation which is indicated to Kabakasam (Asthma & TB) was validated scientifically for Anti – histamine activity. The result shows that the test drug has significance when compare to standard. Hence, the Vasanthakusumakara mathirai proves to be the best Anti – histamine drug.

Key Word: Vasanthakusumakara mathirai, Anti – histamine activity, Allergy, vascular permeability test, Hypersensitivity.
