Background.Although several factors such as respiratory muscle strength, lung compliance, resistance to airflow, and even obesity affect the functions, nature of relationship with markers adiposity is not clear.We hypothesised that central pattern fat distribution a significant predictor decreased peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR).The present study was designed aim examine effects on PEFR in males.Methods.One hundred young healthy male volunteers were analysed study.They classified into...

Healthcare workers (HCWs) actively involved in patient care at tertiary hospitals face significant stress and workload, which may adversely impact their sympatho-vagal balance (SVB). Research has extensively investigated SVB using various techniques, such as heart rate variability (HRV). With its multifaceted approach, yoga been suggested to influence autonomic nervous system function and, consequently, SVB. Thus, this study aims investigate the efficacy of a 4-week module on among HCWs....

A BSTRACT Context: Dengue disease severity and progression are determined by the host immune response, with both pro- anti-inflammatory cytokines key mediators. Aims: To study across dengue as a biomarker for predicting severe infection. Settings Design: Hospital-based cross-sectional was conducted on 125 dengue-positive subjects 5-60 years age group of either gender in 2022.

Ischemic stroke is often a sequel of atherosclerotic risk factors. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) surrogate marker early changes.It was hypothesized that CIMT associated with ischemic in adults across all ages.A case control study performed on 163 diagnosed cases first-time and age-(±1 SD) gender-matched healthy attendants reporting at tertiary care hospital. Data were collected factors for stroke. from both the carotids measured using carotid vascular Doppler. The demographic profile...

Introduction: Globally, prehypertension is responsible for approximately 62% of cardiovascular and 49% ischemic heart disease (IHD) episodes.Current data from the Indian subcontinent suggests that prevalence was 47% amongst young urban residents.Considering its serious prognosis, current study undertaken to assess risk factors such as diseases in prehypertensives adult males Uttarakhand region. Materials Methods:This cross-sectional analytical conducted Department Physiology, HIMS, Dehradun,...

Accumulated moderate physical activity (PA) for 30 min in a day is the only recommended treatment of prehypertension.We investigated autonomic modulation as possible mechanism decrease blood pressure (BP) during rest periods each 10 session PA.We conducted single-blind randomized multi-arm control trial on 40 prehypertensive (pre-HT) young male adults.Participants were randomly divided by using random number table into four groups. Control (no intervention); Group 1 (walking at 50% predicted...

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is insidious and may occur early in subclinical hypothyroid (SCH) state which can be picked up by electrophysiological study. This study aims to record visual evoked potential (VEP), event-related latency cognitive functions, find their association with the levels of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) patients SCH.In this cross-sectional study, 36 adult SCH an equal number age- sex-matched euthyroid controls were included. Pattern reversal VEP,...
