BACKGROUND: Lateral epicondylitis is one of the common diseases of the elbow joint. Lateral epicondylitis primarily affects the muscles and soft tissues around the elbow joint. Research has found that the extensor muscles, particularly the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB), are involved in vigorous and repetitive movements of the wrist. Various treatments have been identified, from conservative treatment to surgical treatment, cryotherapy to ergonomic advice, but the results are still inconclusive. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of cyriax mill’s manipulation and deep transverse friction versus the myofascial release technique on pain, grip strength, and functional disability in subjects with lateral epicondylitis. METHOD: 30 patients with lateral epicondylitis between the age of 30 to 45 years were included in the study according to the inclusion criteria, individuals are divided into 2 groups. Group A which was Cyriax physiotherapy and conventional physiotherapy and Group B which was MFR and conventional physiotherapy. The treatment is given for 4 weeks 3 times a week. OUT COMES: NPRS (for pain), HHD (for grip strength), PRTEE (for functional disability) RESULT: After treatment for 4 weeks and 3 times a week, there was a significant improvement in pain, grip strength and functional disability in both groups. But more improvement in group B, which is MFR and conventional treatment. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that after 12 treatment sessions, both the cyriax technique and the myofascial release technique were effective in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, but the MFR technique was found to be more effective than cyriax physiotherapy in reducing pain and improving grip strength and function in patients with lateral epicondylitis.

In order to be healthy, plants often require a constant flow of nutrients. Any nutritional shortfall leads to the development of nutrient deficiency symptoms. Metal can be considered of as a nutrition for plants. When the nutrient supply exceeds the necessary levels, plants may suffer damage, and in rare situations, excessively high levels of nutrition loaded with heavy metals may even result in plant death. The presence of Micronutrients in small quantities is responsible for healthy growth and development of plants. This paper focuses on the analysis of micronutrients through DTPA –CaCl2-TEA method present in the soil collected from Morbi region. Fifteen samples from different villages of Morbi region were collected in which the micronutrients like Zinc, Iron, Copper and Manganese were analyzed. According to the data, Sajjanpur has the highest and lowest concentrations of copper, whereas Jetpur and Ghuntu have the highest and lowest concentrations of zinc, respectively. In a similar manner, significant levels of Fe have been found in Jambudiya, while Mn levels in Dharampur are also somewhat elevated. Jasmathgadh has a lower concentration of Fe and Mn than other villages. The concentration ratio has a direct impact on soil fertility and is related to crop output, crop production, and plant health.

Fertilizers are any organic or inorganic natural or synthetic materials [other than liming materials], which is applied to a soil to provide one or more plant nutrients necessary for plant growth. One of the most extreme conditions that have a detrimental impact on the climate is sandy soil. The use of different organic amendments is a tool for developing sustainable development that is both economically and environmentally viable. The aim of this study is to see how milk tea waste extract, banana peel extract and coconut peat extract affect the growth of coriander and spinach plants when applied as a foliar spray. Different pots for various organic fertilizers were used. In this study we discussed how they affected plant growth and how they improved the biochemical properties of sandy soil. The different concentration (2g, 4g, 6g) of banana peel powder, milk tea waste powder and coconut peat were used in this study. The result showed that the highest plant height, root height, number of leaves and shoot height was found in 4g milk tea waste powder in both plants spinach and coriander compared to other fertilizers and control plant. This observation is suggested that the use of milk tea waste is feasible amendment strategy for improving the growth and soil fertility quality of sediments.
