Authors: Patare Srushti , Harishchandre Dr. Maheshwari , Ganvir Dr. Suvarna 
Published: July 2022

Introduction- The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the highly infectious SARS-CoV-2 has affected over 15.9 million people across 200 countries and caused more than 643,000 deaths. The coronavirus is a highly infectious virus and spreads through droplets generated during coughing, sneezing, talking, and even breathing. .[1] As the main symptoms reported after COVID-19 are fatigue and dyspnoea, the need of the study is to find out consequences of COVID 19 in status of Physical Fitness with respect to Functional status, endurance and Lung capacity in Post COVID- 19 subjects

Aim – To analyse the consequences of covid-19 in the status on physical fitness in post COVID patients.

Objectives- 1. To find out effect of COVID on lung function capacity assessing PEFR in post COVID patients.

To find out effect of COVID on functional status in post COVID patients.

3.To know the effect of COVID on endurance using Figure of 8 walk test in post COVID patients.

Methods- The research was carried out in the Physiotherapy OPD at Vikhe Patil Memorial Hospital. A cross-sectional study was designed. Purposive sampling was used in the sampling process. The sample size for this study was 50. Consent form for a six-month study was made. Peak flow metre, Sterilium, Cotton wool, Weighing machine and Measuring tape, Post COVID-19 Functional status scale, 2 cones, stop watch, Pedometer, tape measure were among the materials utilised. Patients with COVID 19 infection who were recovered and willing to participate, both genders, ages 20 to 55, and able to walk without assistance met the inclusion criteria. Patients who were not cooperative or who had additional systemic illnesses, such as diabetes, were excluded.

Result- A total of 50 patients entered the study who were in the age group of 20-55 yrs. We compare PEFR values among symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The study shows that comparison of PEFR values between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients was not significant (p value 0.2265) and PEFR values of symptomatic patients were less than that of asymptomatic patients. The patients who were symptomatically ill were affected more and show symptom of pain, anxiety, depression rather than asymptomatic patients and there was no sign of functional limitation. There is no effect on endurance of the patients as such
after recovery from COVID-19 infection.
Conclusion- This study shows that there is effect of COVID on physical fitness of post COVID patients after recovery with respect to lung function capacity. Symptomatic patients were more affected than asymptomatic patients. The functional status of the post COVID patients is not affected, few of them suffered from pain, depression and anxiety after recovery. There is no effect on endurance in post COVID patients after recovery.

Authors: Haserodt Heidi , Sydnor T. Davis 
Published: July 2022

AbstractHoneylocust are environmentally tolerant trees with good branch structure and open branching. Branching structure and habit enable an informed observer to identify 3 of 5 cultivars studied. The remaining 2 cultivars have fairly similar outlines. Foliage density is open for honeylocust, which allows a greater selection of plants to be grown under the foliage canopy of honeylocust. Graphic representations are presented for each cultivar for both summer and winter character. Drawings are to scale and allow comparison of the 5 cultivars at the common chronological age of 15 years.

Effect of Varying Levels of Manganese and PH on the Growth of Three Cultivars ofAcer rubrum
Authors: Boyce E.A. , Sydnor T.D. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractA greenhouse study revealed that dry weights of new shoots and roots, and foliar levels of manganese of 3 cultivars of red maple (‘Armstrong,’ October Glory,’ and ‘Red Sunset’) were unaffected by manganese levels in the nutrient solution during the duration of this experiment. Multivariate regression analysis of the factors affecting the percent of new stem growth showed that the percent of new stem growth of ‘Armstrong’ is lowered as pH is increased. The percent of new stem growth of ‘October Glory’ is unaffected by changes in pH and that of ‘Red Sunset’ is increased as the pH is increased.
Major Nutrient Influence onVerticillium dahliaeInfections ofAcer saccharum
Authors: Smith Larry D. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractLittle is known about the influence of N, P, and K on the growth and movement ofVerticilliumin the vascular systems of woody plants. Nutrient-depletedAcer saccharumtrees were fertilized with six treatment preparations containing varying concentrations of N, P, and K. Following the response of thetrees to the fertilization, the trees were inoculated with Verticillium dahliae. Growth response of the trees to fertilization and the extent of colonization of the trees by the pathogen were determined. Growth of the trees was correlated to the concentration of nitrogen in the fertilizer and was described by the regression equation Y = 76.71 + 1.16X (r = .306). Phosphorus was not correlated to new growth of the trees. The effect of potassium was negatively correlated to growth and was described by the regression equation Y = 129.98 - 2.25X (r = -.456). The concentration of potassium was significantly correlated to the colonization of inoculated trees with the relationship described by the regression equation Y = 100.7 - 2.141X (r = -.579). Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were not correlated to pathogen colonization of inoculated trees.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Date Presented 04/01/2022
This study provides evidence for the validity of the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity-10 (WCPA-10) for adults with stroke. The WCPA-10 is a valuable tool for assessing executive function (EF) among stroke patients because it can provide in-depth information on the process and quality of performance. This study also demonstrates the need to use performance-based tests even with patients who perform normally on cognitive screening tests to detect subtle EF difficulties that may affect daily functioning.

Authors: Baig Aminah , Morress Claire , Cecala Ellie , Gallagher Laney , Gick Elizabeth 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Date Presented 04/02/2022
This study consisted of an electronic survey distributed to licensed Ohio OTs and PTs, which identified the evidence-based interventions used by therapists for the treatment of children ages 0-3 with cerebral palsy (CP), the frequency of intervention use, and the facilitators and barriers to evidence-based practice (EBP) use. Overall, therapists view EBP as important and possess skills to engage in EBP but do not frequently use EBP because of several barriers. This study provides recommendations for workplaces to facilitate EBP use in practice.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Date Presented 04/02/2022
Sleep is a crucial occupation, yet difficulties are pervasive across neurodivergent populations. Similarly, sensory integration differences are also highly prevalent in this group. More specifically, autistic individuals have a high probability of both sensory integration differences and sleep problems. Although both can interfere with occupational participation and performance, little is known about the relationship between these factors. Here we present preliminary results from a scoping review.
