Objective: This study was designed to assess the efficacy of the Mulligan's Movement with mobilization & taping technique in functional recovery of lateral ankle sprain when used as an adjunct to conventional therapy & thus establish the role of the hypothesis of positional fault in lateral ankle sprain.Study Design: Cohort study involving 30 patients diagnosed with grade 1 & 2 lateral ankle sprain divided randomly in 2 groups of 15, one control group & another experimental group.
Methodology: Control group received conventional therapy which involved RICE or ultrasound & home exercise program according to the stage of healing, while experimental group received Mulligan's MWM & taping along with conventional therapy. Duration of the treatment was 6 days or till VAS on walking reduces to 1.
Results: VAS on walking & tender point palpation showed significantly greater reduction in experimental group (p
Conclusion: When Mulligan's ankle technique & fibular taping is used along with the conventional therapy, there is a faster functional recovery. This study highlights the importance of positional fault concept in clinical practice.

Objectives
The purpose of this study was: 1. To find the fitness levels in under 16 male football players. 2. To compare the fitness levels between children of same age group&the team players. 3. To find the effects of puberty on fitness.
Method
60 Students were included-30 undergoing training for soccer & 30 not undergoing any training. The age group selected was 14 - 15 years.
Inclusion criteria 1. Players with regular training. 2. Children playing football as a recreational activity.
Exclusion criteria 1. History of sports injury in the last 3 months. 2. Underlying medical and surgical condition. 3. Performance enhancing drug consumption. Their fitness levels were assessed based on the following parameters Aerobic-Harvard step test Anaerobic - 35 meter Sprint test Agility - T test Flexibility test - Sit and Reach test Co-ordination test for Goalkeepers - Alternate wall hand toss Strength test - Squat test Equilibrium/ Balance test - Stork test. The outcome was measured in terms of the fitness scores of each test. A comparison was done between the trained&untrained individuals&effects of puberty on fitness were noted.
Results The data was analyzed, the results observed were -Poor aerobic scores, Very Good anaerobic scores, Good agility scores, Fair flexibility scores, Excellent co-ordination & bStrength scores & Average Static balance scores in training group. Comparison between students undergoing training&those not trained showed that the untrained group had lower fitness levels. Pubertal effects played an important role in improvement of the functions of the various parameters involved in fitness.
Conclusion
The study confirms the fact that training plays an important role in the fitness levels of the students. The students undergoing training showed a great increase in their fitness levels compared to those not undergoing any training. But among the team players, there is a marked decrease in their Aerobic capacities whereas the other parameters range between fair to excellent scores. Hence, Aerobic fitness training should be emphasized upon. Fitness levels cannot be used to judge a player's performance in the game, as other factors such as Team Work, Skill, Psychological&Mental Spirit, Tactics&a small amount of Good Fortune plays a very important role to determine the winner.

One of the major problems, that the world is facing today due to rapid industrialization is environmental pollution caused by several factors, including heavy metals. Among the heavy metals, cadmium is a hazardous carcinogenic element. From contaminated soil, cadmium enters the plants through the ischolar_mains and is accumulated in the harvestable (edible) parts, and thus gains entry into the food cycle. Phytoremediation plays a beneficial role in the remediation of cadmium contamination from soil, but becomes less effective with increasing toxicity. Even hyperaccumulator plants fail to perform under these conditions. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), inhabitants of the plant rhizosphere, play a supporting role and promote bioremediation of soil by accumulation or transformation of contaminants, thereby enhancing plant growth and development. This article focuses on cadmium contamination and PGPR-assisted phyto-remediation of cadmium-contaminated soils.Keywords
