    Abstract Objectives: Physical fitness in children and adolescents determines their health status and predicts if they are prone to co-morbidities that may extend in adulthood. The initial literature on the benefits of being physically fit was limited to the musculoskeletal and cardio-respiratory systems. The recent trends have shown that physical fitness has an effect on the neurological system as well. Considering physical inactivity to be a problem in today's world and the growing evidences on physical fitness being related to cognition and academic performance, there is a need to explore more on these relationships. Thus, this study aims to find the correlation between physical fitness with academic performance and cognitive functions in adolescent urban school children.
    Hypothesis: There is an association between physical fitness with academic performance and cognitive function.
    Methodology: Three hundred and ninteen children were approached out of which 107 children consented for assessment. Their physical fitness was measured using the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) test, the cognitive function was assessed using the Stroop test and the academic performance were taken from their final exam grades of 2019.
    Results: A moderate positive correlation was found between physical fitness with cognitive function (r=0.528), with academic performance (r=0.545) and with self-reported physical activity per week (r=0.427). A fair negative correlation was found between physical fitness and Body Mass Index (BMI) (r=0.296).
    Conclusion: This study confirms that physical fitness is positively associated with cognitive function, academic performance and self-reported physical activities and has a negative correlation with BMI.

    Abstract Background: The majority of students spend time in writing, which is a prime performance measure in examinations. Enhancement in handwriting should benefit students to attain better academic performance.
    Objective: To assess the effectiveness of taping and exercises on hand function, writing speed, self-perception of writing and to compare these techniques.
    Methods: A randomized control trial was conducted using cluster sampling in adolescent children across four schools in an urban city. A 4-week intervention study was conducted on 123 students divided into taping, exercise and control groups. Outcome measures were grip strength, pinch strength, 12-min writing speed test and the Writer Self-Perception Scale (WSPS). For intra-group analysis, a paired t-test was used for parametric values and the Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for non-parametric values. For inter-group analysis, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for parametric values and the Kruskal-Wallis test for non-parametric values was used.
    Results: The taping group showed a significant improvement in grip strength (1.79 kg; p = 0.00), pinch strength [1.67 lb (757.4 g); p = 0.00] and writing speed (39.77 words/12 min; p = 0.00). The exercise group showed significant improvement in grip strength (2.09 kg; p = 0.00), pinch strength (1.28 lb; p = 0.00), writing speed (28.38 words/12 min; p = 0.00). In the control group, there was a significant increase in pinch strength (1.023 lb; p = 0.01) and writing speed (12.94 words/12 min; p = 0.02). Inter-group analysis showed significant difference in writing speed (p = 0.002) and grip strength (p = 0.00). There was no significant difference in perception (p = 0.071).
    Conclusion: Taping and exercise are equally effective for enhancement of hand function, writing speed and self-perception in adolescent school children.

    Abstract Depression has been a leading cause of mental-health illnesses across the world. While the loss of lives due to unmanaged depression is a subject of attention, so is the lack of diagnostic tests and subjectivity involved. Using behavioural cues to automate depression diagnosis and stage prediction in recent years has relatively increased. However, the absence of labelled behavioural datasets and a vast amount of possible variations prove to be a major challenge in accomplishing the task. This paper proposes a novel Custom CM Ensemble approach and focuses on a paradigm of a cross-platform smartphone application that takes multimodal inputs from a user through a series of pre-defined questions, sends it to the Cloud ML architecture and conveys back a depression quotient, representative of its severity. Our app estimates the severity of depression based on a multi-class classification model by utilizing the language, audio, and visual modalities. The given approach attempts to detect, emphasize, and classify the features of a depressed person based on the low-level descriptors for verbal and visual features, and context of the language features when prompted with a question. The model achieved a precision value of 0.88 and an accuracy of 91.56%. Further optimization reveals the intramodality and intermodality relevance through the selection of the most influential features within each modality for decision making.

    Comment: The paper content has one major problem in a section that is needs more attention and some work, and is agreed by all authors. The change is necessary in terms of correctness and completeness of the paper. Hence, requesting for the withdrawal to allow for the changes

    Abstract Background Racquet sports, especially lawn tennis and badminton have been gaining popularity in Asian countries like India. With this increase in popularity, the injury rate in the sport has also increased. Objectives The study will help detect the presence of gleno-humeral movement dysfunction and scapular resting position abnormality in asymptomatic racquet players, thus providing basis for screening the players and allow the clinician to determine if the asymmetry is a normal adaptation in the player or an abnormal change associated with injury. Materials and Methods 46 asymptomatic professional players were divided into a study group of 23 players (16 tennis and 7 badminton) and control group of 23 football players. Assessment of passive gleno-humeral range of motion and distance of spine and inferior angle of scapula from corresponding spinous process were measured bilaterally and between groups. Results There was statistically significant reduction in range of internal rotation (62.17 ± 8.09), extension (39.78 ± 4.12) and an increase in the external rotation (106.95 ± 7.49) of dominant compared to non-dominant arm of racquet players and a statistically significant decrease in internal rotation (78.69 ± 10.24), extension (44.78 ± 3.19), adduction (37.39 ± 6.54) and an increase in external rotation (102.6 ± 5.19) of dominant arm of racquet players compared to football players. Study also showed statistically significant increase in the spino-scapular distance at the level of inferior angle of scapula (10.23 ± 1.43) on dominant side compared to non-dominant. Conclusions The dominant side scapula of asymptomatic racquet players showed increased external rotation and elevation as compared to the non-dominant side. Also, reduced shoulder internal rotation, extension and adduction and gain in shoulder external rotation was observed on the dominant side of racquet players when compared to the control group.

    Abstract Background: Playing guitar can cause adoption of asymmetric postures and affect the shoulder's stability.
    Objective: To assess the presence of scapular dysfunction in professional guitar players.
    Method: A lateral scapular slide test was performed at the level of the spine of the scapula and at the inferior angle of the scapula in 20 professional guitar players (age: 18-40 years) and was compared with 20 age-matched non-players at angles of 0°, 45° and 90° of shoulder abduction with both limbs loaded with 0.5-kg weights. Analysis was done by unpaired t test.
    Results: Scapular dysfunction in guitar players was seen in the form of asymmetric scapula at rest in 25% and dyskinetic scapula in 20% of players. 100% of non-players had normal scapular positioning. Comparison at the level of the spine of the scapula showed no significant difference (p > 0.05), but the inferior angle showed a significant difference at 0° (1.37 cm), 45° (1.93 cm) and 90° (2.15 cm) which was more in the player's category (p < 0.05).
    Conclusion: There exists a marked dysfunction of scapular stabilizers in professional guitar players at the level of the inferior angle of the scapula.

    Abstract The objective of this review article is to explain the use of cyclodextrin in the different routes of drug administration. The article gives the chemistry of cyclodextrins and addresses the issue of the mechanism of drug release from cyclodextrin complexes. Dilution, competitive displacement, protein binding, change in ionic strength and temperature and drug uptake by tissues are the different release mechanisms of the drug from the drug-cyclodextrin complex discussed here. Use and its limitations in the different drug delivery systems like nasal, ophthalmic, transdermal and rectal drug delivery are explained. The application of the cyclodextrins in the oral drug delivery is detailed in this review. Many studies have shown that cyclodextrins are useful additives in the different routes of drug administration because of increased aqueous solubility, stability, bioavailability and reduced drug irritation.
