Aim: To find the effectiveness of laser therapy and ultrasound therapy along with muscle energy technique in treatment of Trapezitis. Materials and Methods: Non-equivalent quasi experimental study design was used in this study. Total of 30 subjects with trapezitis were selected using non probability convenient sampling technique.30 Subjects was divided into two groups by lot system. Group A received laser therapy and Group B received ultrasound therapy and for both the group muscle energy technique was given. The outcome measures are Neck Disability Index (NDI) for measuring Functional Disability. Data collected and tabulated was statistically analyzed. Result: Statistical analysis of post-test, Neck Disability Index (NDI) revealed that there is statistically significant difference seen between Group A and Group B. Conclusion: From the result, it has been concluded that Laser therapy with muscle energy technique (Group A) was more effective than Ultrasound therapy with muscle energy technique (Group B) on improving functional ability in subjects with Trapezitis.

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a widespread cancer and is associated with social and economic consequences. Clinico-pathological correlation improves patient survival and disease management. Our research intends to examine the relationships between OSCC and metabolic processes reflected by final catabolism products. Methodology: In this cancer comparative retrospective analysis, metabolic byproducts in OSCC patients and healthy controls were compared. One way ANOVA analysis was done to record notable changes in OSCC patients by correlating along with disease's clinico-pathological traits.   Result: Serum Urea and creatinine level were determined in a total of 109 subjects, 55 diagnosed as OSCC and 54 healthy subjects who had been reported to our hospital for the past two years. OSCC and healthy patients revealed blood urea levels with significant correlation (p=0.000). Serum creatnine was insignificant between two groups (p<0.68). Blood urea and creatinine was insignificant with random blood sugar (p<0.205), negative correlation with habits (p<0.953) and significant with metastasis (p=0.000). Conclusion: OSCC in advanced stages have nearing higher serum urea levels, and is associated with nodal metastases. Deregulation of protein catabolism processes may be associated with invasive characteristics of OSCC, enabling aggressive behaviour in OSCC.
