The objective of this study was to analyze the presence of musculoskeletal and self-perceived occupational stress in teachers during the Work From Home (WFH) situation because of the lockdown. An online, cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 73 teachers. The outcome measures used were the Nordic pain questionnaire and perceived occupational stress during online teaching using a self-administered questionnaire. The survey revealed that 61.6% (45) of the teachers experienced musculoskeletal pain in last 3 months of the lockdown. Lower back pain was found in 19% (45) teachers followed by neck pain 17% (41); shoulder pain 14% and upper back pain 12% (30). Among the factors causing occupational stress 16% (25) teachers strongly agreed that lack of assessment of students and conducting exams was a major cause for stress. 12% (18) teachers strongly agreed that communication during the online classes was a major concern and also the general distress due to the pandemic condition and the fear of infection also caused stress during the lockdown period. 13% (27) teachers were not satisfied with the lecture quality and 12% (25) teachers agreed that having no experience in online teaching was one of the reasons for occupational stress. Thus, these factors should be considered when implementing remedial and wellness program for teachers to improve their quality of life during this pandemic.

She had completed six cycles of chemotherapy postsurgery and complained of significant fatigue and depression. Her fatigue score on Piper Fatigue Scale was 4.1 and depression score on Beck's Depression Inventory was 22. She had a poor 6-min walking distance and a reduced quality of life. She was given a structured yoga program for 40 min five times a week for 4 weeks. Results showed a marked reduction in fatigue and depression scores and improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness. Her quality of life also showed improvement after the structured yoga therapy. This case report highlights the benefits of yoga for reducing fatigue, depression, and improving the cardiorespiratory fitness and overall quality of life in a breast cancer survivor.

Research has proven that, physiotherapist as a part of multidisciplinary team, plays an important role in treating these patients after surgery. However, evidence suggesting the role of physiotherapist in the domain of health promotion and prevention is limited. Thus an effort is made in this study to explore the level of awareness about the risk factors and prevention and to predict the percent risk of having breast cancer in future five years.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in the urban slums of Turbhe. 200 females aged 35 years and above were selected. A self structured questionnaire was formed using Gail’s model. The questionnaire was validated and a house to house survey was conducted.Results: 67.5% females thought that alcohol/tobacco consumption carried the highest risk of breast cancer. 61.5% females were aware of la...
