Characterization of Tamarindus indica L. Leaves Herbal Tea as a Functional Beverage
Tamarindus indica leaves possess great potential as they are rich in antioxidants and suitable for consumption as a functional beverage. Processing T. indica leaves into herbal tea can enhance their usability and benefits. This study aimed to investigate the effect of drying time and temperature on the quality of T. indica leaves herbal tea and the antioxidant characteristics of its infusion. A Randomized Block Design (RBD) was employed with two factors: drying time (2 and 3 hours) and drying temperature (40°C, 50°C, 60°C), resulting in six treatment combinations, each replicated three times. The parameters analyzed in the tea powder included moisture content, ash content, and color intensity (L, a*, b*), while the infusion was analyzed for antioxidant activity, pH, and organoleptic properties (color, aroma, and taste). The results showed that both drying time and temperature significantly affected the moisture content, ash content, color intensity (L, a*, b*), antioxidant activity, pH, and sensory attributes. The best treatment was drying for 2 hours at 40°C, producing a tea with moisture content of 3.13%, ash content of 5.20%, color intensity L = 57.12, a* = 6.10, b* = 16.68, antioxidant activity of 8.24%, pH of 2.70, and organoleptic scores (neutral) for color (3.36), aroma (3.32), and taste (3.36)
Utilization of Carbide Welding Waste as an Alternative Cement Mixture for Concrete Compressive Strength
This research was conducted to investigate the utilization of carbide welding waste as a cement mixture on the compressive strength of concrete with a target quality of Fc 25 MPa. The test specimens were cylindrical, with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm. Concrete mixtures incorporated carbide welding waste as a partial cement substitute, with variations of 5%, 7%, and 10%, compared to a conventional control mixture based on cement volume. A total of 16 cylindrical specimens were prepared. Compressive strength tests were conducted at 7 and 28 days. The designed concrete strength was Fc 25 MPa. The results showed that the use of carbide welding waste in concrete mixtures led to a decrease in compressive strength at 7 days compared to concrete without waste. However, at 28 days, compressive strength increased significantly, especially at certain percentages. At the optimal percentage, carbide welding waste was proven to improve the compressive strength compared to normal concrete, thus demonstrating its potential as an effective cement mixture

Manual Soft-Tissue Mobilization in the Management of Hypertrophic Burn Scars: A systematic Review
Burn scars continue to be a prominent public health problem worldwide, and even in developed nations, survivors of such injuries often develop hypertrophic scars due to excessive collagen deposition, pain, pruritus, cosmetic issues, and limited mobility. This systematic review aimed to identify the effectiveness of soft tissue mobilization (STM) manual techniques in the treatment of hypertrophic scars in burn patients. An extensive search was performed in the electronic databases of the PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library for published literature from 2017 to the present using the search terms “burn,” “hypertrophic scar,” “massage,” “soft tissue mobilization,” and “manual therapy” using the Boolean algorithm. A total of 11 studies, following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses, fulfilled the inclusion criteria and thus rendered the systematic literature review. The literature included consisted of randomized controlled trials, quasi-experiments, and systematic reviews of burn patients that utilized STM. There was a positive correlation of STM techniques such as circular massage, linear massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Cross Friction in the STM approach to improved scar elasticity, thickness, pain, itching, and mobility in the included literature in comparison to conservative treatments. This systematic literature review shows that STM is a novel, non-invasive method of adjunct rehabilitation in patients suffering from post-burn scars in medicine
Combined Effect of Incentive Spirometry and Diaphragmatic Exercise on Respiratory Outcomes Post Upper Abdominal Surgery: A Literature Review
Background: Upper abdominal operations mainly cause respiratory complications because the incision across the abdominal region reflects in decreased diaphragmatic movement
, e.g., atelectasis and pneumonia. Incentive spirometry (IS) and diaphragmatic breathing exercises (DBE) are the most employed interventions to enhance lung function and minimize these complications. Although each of these has been demonstrated with positive results individually, their interactive effects on respiratory recovery after surgery are not fully understood. The present literature review investigates the synergy between IS and DBE in respiratory outcomes after upper abdominal surgery, particularly concerning lung volumes, oxygenation, and minimizing postoperative pulmonary complications.
Objective: This review aims to evaluate the combined effect of incentive spirometry and diaphragmatic exercise on improving respiratory outcomes in individuals recovering from upper abdominal surgery.
Methods: A web-based literature search was conducted using PubMed to identify studies on the combined effects of incentive spirometry and Diaphragmatic exercises. The search focused on their impact on peak expiratory flow rate, breathing patterns, and chest expansion in post-operative upper abdominal surgery patients. Titles and abstracts were screened, and relevant articles were included. Additionally, secondary searching was performed by reviewing reference lists for relevant citations.
Result: The review suggests that incentive spirometry and diaphragmatic exercises impact Respiratory outcomes i.e. PEAK EXPIRATORY FLOW RATE, breathing patterns, and chest expansion. However, the combined approach appears more effective, as mean differences indicate. This highlights the potential benefits of integrating incentive spirometry and diaphragmatic exercises in postoperative care.
Conclusion: The review indicates that incentive spirometry and diaphragmatic exercises enhance respiratory outcomes in individuals recovering from upper abdominal surgery
