Abstract: Over the past decade, there has been an increase in interest & participation in sports like cricket. Throwing plays an important role in cricket. Numerous accurate powerful throws are made during the course of the match. To be a successful cricket player it is necessary for the athlete to be capable of throwing ball with power & accuracy from one point to the next point of play. The Objective of the study to find out the Sports Physiotherapeutic Warm-up Benefits Of Plyometric versus Swiss Ball Push-Up Amateur Cricket Bowlers the results In group A for throwing distance the calculated paired ‘t’ value is 14.52   and ‘t’ table value is 2.861 at 0.005 level. Since the calculated ‘t’ value is more than ‘t’ table value above study shows that there is significant difference in throwing distance following plyometric pushup among Amateur Cricket fast Bowlers. The calculated paired ‘t’ value is 1.98 and the paired table ‘t’ value is 2.861 at 0.05evel of significance. Hence, the calculated ‘t’ value is less than the table ‘t’ value there is no significant difference in accuracy following swiss ball push-up in Amateur Cricket fast Bowlers. The results from the present study are very encouraging and demonstrate the benefits of plyometric push-ups in improving throwing distance as compared ball push-ups. Thus, plyometric push-ups can be incorporated into training programs of fast bowlers in cricket for enhancing their performance levels.

Abstract: Mother-to-child transmission of HIV significantly contributes to new infections globally. Universal access to comprehensive services for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV is vital to curbing this trend. This study assessed the availability and utilization of PMTCT services in Primary Health Care centres of Jos South local government area, Plateau State, North-Central Nigeria. A desk review of facility records was conducted in 2020. Data was collected on PMTCT services availability and utilization using observational and review of records checklist adapted from the World Health Organization’s PMTCT services checklist instrument. Data was analyzed using IBM-SPSS version 23 software. Thirty-six Primary Health Care centres in Jos South were surveyed, of which only 14 (38.9%) offered PMTCT services. Four thousand six hundred and sixty-one (85%) women accessing antenatal care in the 14 facilities offering PMTCT services underwent HIV testing and 45 (0.8%) tested positive. Twenty-seven (60%) of those who tested positive had optimal utilization of PMTCT services as they received all the basic components of the services. The availability of PMTCT services was low while the utilization among those reached was suboptimal. There is a need to scale up PMTCT services and make available a comprehensive package in all health facilities.

Abstract: Currently, the world is facing increasingly frequent changes in climate, which not only involve rising temperatures but also extreme weather events, population shifts in ecosystems and migration, rising sea levels, and other environmental impacts. These changes in climate also affect the human nervous system and brain, leading to a higher incidence of “mental health problems.” However, this issue is often overlooked and not extensively addressed by researchers. The objective of this survey-based research is to study the knowledge and attitudes regarding climate change’s impact on mental health in Thailand. The sample group consists of 60 participants, and data is collected using questionnaires about their knowledge and attitudes regarding how climate change affects mental health in Thailand. The research findings indicate that knowledge and attitudes regarding climate change’s impact on mental health are generally consistent. This could be due to the high percentage (91.7%) of information received through the internet/social media. However, there are still some respondents who selected “disagree” or “unsure.” These findings highlight the necessity of continuously promoting knowledge about climate change’s impact on mental health to enhance prevention and intervention strategies for mental health issues among Thai people.

Abstract: Today, people often face disappointment, sadness and sorrow that arise from many situations encountered in their daily lives. As these situations are unpredictable, it is important for everyone to prepare to handle the situations. The disappointment, sadness and sorrow could lead to stress, which can occur to anyone at any age. The accumulated stress could lead to depression if there is no stress management being taken. Nowadays, psychological knowledge being used in the arts as a tool to explore the flaws and abnormalities of mental states is used as a part of the treatment process for people with behavioral and mental disorders. The principle of art therapy is a science of knowing the human mind by using artistic activities to search for hidden emotions and thoughts. Humans will be able to acknowledge their thoughts, feelings, understand the causes of problems, and even find the solutions to manage the accumulated stress and prevent abnormal mental states. As the researcher has considered the mental problems of humans in today’s world, therefore, interested in exploring the level of importance and awareness Thai people have regarding various mental states through a survey from a sample group of 75 people and analyzing the survey results.

Abstract: Appendicitis, which involves inflammation of the appendix, can cause severe pain and requires immediate medical attention. Appendectomy surgery is effective in treating this condition, although it carries a risk of complications such as wound infection or bleeding. Postoperative pain experienced by appendectomy patients varies and can affect their quality of life and recovery. Therefore, pain control is becoming an essential focus in postoperative care, with early mobilization recognized as a strategy that can speed recovery and reduce the risk of complications. This study aims to provide deeper insight into pain changes in postoperative appendectomy clients. This study used a correlational descriptive design with a group Pretest-Posttest approach to examine the effect of early mobilization on pain changes in postoperative appendectomy clients at RSU Royal Prima Medan. Wilcoxon Test results showed a significant reduction in postoperative appendectomy pain levels at Royal Medan Hospital after early mobilization (p-value = 0.000, Z = -2.002). Of the 17 patients observed, the average pain level dropped from 3.84 to 2.45. These results confirm the effectiveness of early mobilization in statistically reducing pain. The majority of postoperative appendectomy clients experience increased pain before early mobilization, while after early mobilization, the majority experience a slight increase in pain. There is an effect of early mobilization on pain changes in postoperative appendectomy clients at Royal Prima Hospital in 2024.
