"Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research is at present a well-known Indian originated scientific journal which started with a humble beginning. I have been associated with this journal since many years. I appreciate the Editor, Dr. Hemant Jain, for his constant effort in bringing up this journal to the present status right from the scratch. The journal is multidisciplinary. It encourages in publishing the scientific articles from postgraduates and also the beginners who start their career. At the same time the journal also caters for the high quality articles from specialty and super-specialty researchers. Hence it provides a platform for the scientist and researchers to publish. The other aspect of it is, the readers get the information regarding the most recent developments in science which can be used for teaching, research, treating patients and to some extent take preventive measures against certain diseases. The journal is contributing immensely to the society at national and international level."

" Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) is a multi-specialty medical and dental journal publishing high quality research articles in almost all branches of medicine. The quality of printing of figures and tables is excellent and comparable to any International journal. An added advantage is nominal publication charges and monthly issue of the journal and more chances of an article being accepted for publication. Moreover being a multi-specialty journal an article concerning a particular specialty has a wider reach of readers of other related specialties also. As an author and reviewer for several years I find this Journal most suitable and highly recommend this Journal."

"It gives me great pleasure to be associated with JCDR, since last 2-3 years. Since then I have authored, co-authored and reviewed about 25 articles in JCDR. I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer.
It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. The best thing about JCDR is that the full articles of all medical specialties are available as pdf/html for reading free of cost or without institutional subscription, which is not there for other journals. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue.
The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph (Fig.) from a JCDR article for my chapter authored in an E book. I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles.
Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly. My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. Gynae, hence, a new journal for this specialty titled JCDR-OG can be started. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it.
An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy. I do not know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for. This will help one’s reviewing skills.
My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR".

"I wish to thank Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), for asking me to write up few words.
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper. Quality medical manuscript writing in particular, demands not only a high-quality research, but also requires accurate and concise communication of findings and conclusions, with adherence to particular journal guidelines. In medical field whether working in teaching, private, or in corporate institution, everyone wants to excel in his / her own field and get recognised by making manuscripts publication.


Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Both ways its true "No authors-No manuscripts-No journals" and "No journals–No manuscripts–No authors". Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously. It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal.
Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary (including all medical and dental specialities), e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. At the same time, a free text of manuscript is available in HTML and PDF format. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb 2007 of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April 2011, it contained 67 manuscripts. This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, (as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition) i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care. I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards.
Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc. This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. Another best part of JCDR is "Online first Publications" facilities available for the authors. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers.
Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public.JCDR is indexed with Embase & EMbiology, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Journal seek Database, Indian Science Abstracts, to name few of them. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie; google, yahoo, msn.
In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect. To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them.
It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb 2007. This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it. The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. I must thank and congratulate Dr Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief JCDR and his team for their sincere efforts, dedication, and determination for making JCDR a fast growing journal.
Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR."

Dr. Shankar P.R.

"On looking back through my Gmail archives after being requested by the journal to write a short editorial about my experiences of publishing with the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), I came across an e-mail from Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor, in March 2007, which introduced the new electronic journal. The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal.
Over a span of over four years, we (I and my colleagues) have published around 25 articles in the journal. In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement.
My experiences of publishing with JCDR: Overall, my experiences of publishing withJCDR have been positive. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author. This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process. Editorial processing and peer review can take anywhere between a year to two years with some journals. Also, some journals do not keep the contributors informed about the progress of the review process. Due to the long review process, the articles can lose their relevance and topicality. A major benefit with JCDR is the timeliness and promptness of its response. In Dr Jain's e-mail which was sent to me in 2007, before the introduction of the Pre-publishing system, he had stated that he had received my submission and that he would get back to me within seven days and he did!
Most of the manuscripts are published within 3 to 4 months of their submission if they are found to be suitable after the review process. JCDR is published bimonthly and the accepted articles were usually published in the next issue. Recently, due to the increased volume of the submissions, the review process has become slower and it ?? Section can take from 4 to 6 months for the articles to be reviewed. The journal has an extensive author support system and it has recently introduced a paid expedited review process. The journal also mentions the average time for processing the manuscript under different submission systems - regular submission and expedited review.
Strengths of the journal: The journal has an online first facility in which the accepted manuscripts may be published on the website before being included in a regular issue of the journal. This cuts down the time between their acceptance and the publication. The journal is indexed in many databases, though not in PubMed. The editorial board should now take steps to index the journal in PubMed. The journal has a system of notifying readers through e-mail when a new issue is released. Also, the articles are available in both the HTML and the PDF formats. I especially like the new and colorful page format of the journal. Also, the access statistics of the articles are available. The prepublication and the manuscript tracking system are also helpful for the authors.
Areas for improvement: In certain cases, I felt that the peer review process of the manuscripts was not up to international standards and that it should be strengthened. Also, the number of manuscripts in an issue is high and it may be difficult for readers to go through all of them. The journal can consider tightening of the peer review process and increasing the quality standards for the acceptance of the manuscripts. I faced occasional problems with the online manuscript submission (Pre-publishing) system, which have to be addressed.
Overall, the publishing process with JCDR has been smooth, quick and relatively hassle free and I can recommend other authors to consider the journal as an outlet for their work."

Abstract

Ischaemic stroke is caused by a sudden decrease in blood flow to the areas of the brain that leads to severe impairment if left untreated. The impairments include contralateral loss of motor and sensory functions, along with affection on the ipsilateral side. There is a reduction in strength on the unaffected side of stroke, due to the fact that only 75-90% of corticospinal fibres cross from the medulla to the contralateral side. A 45-year-old male, factory owner came with a chief complaint of sudden onset of weakness on the left side of the body for 11 days with a history of hypertension. Investigations revealed a large block in the right Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA). Medical management was provided with thrombolytics, anticoagulants, and antihypertensives. Thereafter, the patient was referred for physiotherapy. Physiotherapy assessment revealed left hemiplegia with more affection of upper extremity, spasticity grade 1+. He also had reduced gripping and grasping. A tailor-made protocol was formulated which focused on task and approach-oriented training with bimanual activities along with consideration of the less affected side was provided to the patient helped in early recovery and made him go back to his occupation. There are many studies on hand rehabilitation, but this is one in its kind that will add to the available literature on the positive effects of strength training on the unaffected side to be considered in rehabilitation.

Case Report

A 45-year-old male, factory worker came with complaints of difficulty using the left upper and lower extremities for 11 days. One evening, he had sudden onset of weakness on the left side of the body along with difficulty in breathing. Then he fainted and was taken to a local hospital. As he gained consciousness after an hour, he complained of weakness on the left side of the body, with more involvement of the upper limb. He had a similar episode three months back, while he was attending a marriage ceremony at his place, he had sudden onset of weakness on the left side of the body along with difficulty in breathing. The symptoms settled with medical management in the available local hospital. Since then, he was diagnosed with hypertension and was under regular medication.

After 10 days of preliminary management with thrombolytics, anticoagulants, and antihypertensives, he was referred to a higher centre for further management. Investigations revealed a large block in the right middle cerebral artery. Due to the infarct, the patient had left hemiplegia with more involvement of the left upper limb. He was thus referred for physiotherapy.

The patient was conscious, and well oriented to time, place, and person assessed by Mini Mental Status Examination (1) on the day of assessment. The patient was supine. The left upper limb held in extension, with external rotation at shoulder and pronation, lower limb also in extension, external rotation at the hip with the knee in semi flexion and the ankle held in plantar flexion. On motor examination, he had developed muscle tone in the left upper and lower limbs. According to Modified Ashworth Scale, the grade was 1+ on the left upper limb and 1 on the lower limb (2).

On sensory examination, the superficial sensations were intact with impaired along with the deep and cortical sensation. Reflex examination revealed exaggerated reflexes on the left side of the body. The hand functions are shown in (Table/Fig 1).

Physiotherapeutic interventions: As the patient became haemodynamically stable, immediate neurophysiotherapy was started. A tailor-made combination of approaches was planned and provided after the initial assessment. Special emphasis was given to hand rehabilitation and strength training for the less affected side. Multiplanar movement along with task-oriented training was performed. The focus was given to the Brunnstrom stage of recovery (3) during the intervention and the patient was motivated with thorough counselling. Strengthening of the less affected side, i.e., the right side was also focused on as it is also of great importance to regain functional ability in stroke patients. Hand rehabilitation along with prehension training was given to the patient. Treatment was provided for one hour sessions every day, five days per week for one month. The details of physiotherapy rehabilitation are provided in (Table/Fig 2),(Table/Fig 3).

Follow-up and outcomes: The outcome measures were taken on the day of assessment, on the 15th day, and the day of discharge (28th day). Modified Ashworth Scale, Brunnstrom recovery stages, Berg balance scale, and gait parameters were the outcome measures used. The patient gained normal muscle tone postrehabilitation along with improvement in the Brunnstrom stage of recovery. The patient is under regular follow-up via telerehabilitation postdischarge. The outcome measures are depicted in (Table/Fig 4),(Table/Fig 5).

Discussion

In most patients, the hemiplegic side of stroke is focused, but the unaffected side is left unused and its functions reduce with time. In this patient, a novel rehabilitation approach was used in which the task-oriented approach was used and strength training was used on the unaffected side (4),(5). Strength training is a relatively new concept. Though incidence of stroke is increasing day by day, similar is the improvement in management strategies. Early detection and early rehabilitation lead to better recovery (6). Strength training was found to be beneficial in a meta-analysis by Wist S et al., they suggested that in hemiplegia, strength training plays a crucial role to prevent deconditioning of the less affected side (7). High resistance training and integrated functional task practice have been shown to enhance upper extremity function in poststroke patients, according to a study by Patten C et al., (8). In an randomised clinical trial conducted by Jeon HJ and Hwang BY, to see how bilateral training has an impact on balance and walking in stroke patients and found that bilateral training group achieved dramatically better Functional Reach Test (FRT) and Berg Balance Score (BBS) scores relative to unilateral training group (4). A systemic review of the similar type of studies done on the upper limb by Wu J et al., stated the effect of bilateral arm training may be more effective than unilateral one in accelerating recovery of upper limb function following a stroke (9). This novel approach to train both sides, also focuses on the non-paretic side (10). There was a reduction in the spasticity on the left side along with improvement in the Brunnstrom stage of recovery (11). The Berg balance score also improved which is a reliable tool to measure static and dynamic patients with stroke (12).

Early physiotherapy measures were started in this case to hasten the patient’s recovery and allow him to return to his regular activities and occupation. Beginning physiotherapeutic rehabilitation early improves outcomes by accelerating the prognosis (13). While performing different exercises, breathing exercises help the patient feel less anxious. As a result, the patient cooperates more readily and recovers more quickly. Along with passive and active movements, bed mobility activities, functional re-education training, trunk balancing exercises, balancing exercises, and therapy to improve cognition, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and strength training were added to the exercise prescription. As a result, the patient’s outcomes were ultimately improved by achieving and increasing postural control, motor function, and the patient’s self-perception of the risks of falling. Following this exercise program every day also gradually improves the usual hemiplegic gait. The patient’s quality of life was improved by task-oriented motor and cognitive activities (14).

This case report implicates the benefits of strength training on the less affected side and how that improves the functional abilities of such patients. There is very little literature that suggests the same thought. This case report will be an add-on to the available literature on strength training in stroke as after 28 days of rehabilitation, the patient was able to walk without assistance and able to perform bimanual tasks with minimum support.

Conclusion

This case report implicates the benefits of strength training on the less affected side and how that improves the functional abilities of such patients. There is very little literature that suggests the same thought. This case report will be an add-on to the available literature on strength training in stroke as after 28 days of rehabilitation, the patient was able to walk without assistance and able to perform bimanual tasks with minimum support.
