Materials and Methods: Separation of analytes was done on a BEH Shield RP18 (2.1 mm × 100 mm × 1.7 mm, 5 μm Particle size) using sodium dihydrogen phosphate pH 4.9 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid: Methanol (60:40, %v/v) as mobile phase pumped at 1.0 ml/min. A photodiode array detector was used to find the detection wavelength at an isosbestic point of 292 nm while maintaining the column temperature at 30°C. With a total run period of 8 min, the mobile phase was utilized as a diluent. The International Council on Harmonization guidelines were followed in the method's validation. The method's capacity to indicate stability was confirmed by experiments on forced degradation. Results: LAM and DOL eluted at 2.88 and 3.83 min, respectively. Both the drugs exhibited excellent linearity between 105.00–315.00 and 17.50–52.50 μg/ml for LAM and DOL, respectively. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 4.51 and 15.03 μg/ml for LAM and 5.82 and 19.41 μg/ml for DOL, respectively, which are very minute concentrations. Conclusion: The method was therefore found to be quite sensitive. The proposed high-performance liquid chromatography technique was thereby sensitive, reproducible, accurate, and reliable for the measurement of LAM and DOL.","PeriodicalId":8534,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care","volume":"21 1","pages":"209 - 215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82223097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many studies have found restrictive abnormalities associated with decreased breathing muscle strength and chest expansion. Respiratory muscle stretch gymnastics (RMSG) has been proposed as an additional form of rehabilitation for patients suffering from respiratory diseases. RMSG is intended to reduce chest wall stiffness, particularly in the respiratory muscles of the chest wall. Objective: The objective of this study was to look into the impact of RMSG on chest expansion and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) in sawmill workers. Methodology: Fifty randomly selected sawmill workers aged 30–50 years in Chidambaram town were given RMSG training twice daily, four times each of five patterns for 4 weeks. A structured questionnaire was used to interview the subjects. Height, weight, and chest measurements were all part of the physical examination. Before and after training, the physiological parameter PEFR was measured. The extent of chest expansion was the primary outcome measure. Data Analysis and Outcomes: The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 was used to evaluate and analyze the data, with the level of significance set at P < 0.05. The dependent t-test revealed a significant difference in chest expansion between pre- and posttraining (2.441.11) and (3.780.616) with a P = 0.001. At P = 0.001, there was also a statistically significant difference in the mean values of PEFR (341.80 77.13) and (479.8058.24). Conclusion: The study found that RMSG training improves chest expansion and pulmonary function (PEFR). According to the findings, RMSG is a simple, safe, and effective technique for increasing the overall functional capacity of sawmill workers. Our study clearly demarcates the difference in an angle that 40° or 45° recumbency is useful. With not much literature in such workers, we can say that this study is one of the early works in this field.","PeriodicalId":8534,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care","volume":"40 1","pages":"220 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91086991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some mothers in Saudi Arabia reported using these medications for their children to induce and regulate sleep without prescription. This unnecessary and dangerous practice can cause serious side effects. Objective: The research aimed to discover the prevalence of sedative medication use among children in Saudi Arabia and evaluation of the mother's awareness of the seriousness of these medications' effects. This research also aimed to provide natural alternatives. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study has been conducted using a structured online questionnaire. The survey has been performed to identify the views of mothers on the subject and the reasons for their use of medicines and the most widely used drugs, dosage, and side effects. Fifty responses were collected from mothers and evaluated using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results: Most participants use sedative drugs to keep their children calm and in a deep sleep with ignorance and a lack of awareness of their serious side effects. We strongly encourage the initiation of awareness campaigns using pamphlets and other platforms including messages. Conclusion: Mothers, mainly working women, tend to use hypnotic medication for their children without a therapeutic indication. This practice needs to be stopped by awareness campaigns using both traditional and electronic formats.","PeriodicalId":8534,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care","volume":"2 1","pages":"238 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89036251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The early marker of the disease is detecting microalbuminuria in the urine. Methods: The patients who consented for the sampling was considered when they were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) for the first time. The first hundred adult patients who consented to participate were included. Established methods were used to estimate quantitative microalbumin in the urine from the first sample of the morning. All the positive reports were counter-checked. The initiation of drugs was left to the physician's choice. Any other events were recorded. On arrival, random blood sugar and blood pressures were recorded. Descriptive analyses and Pearson correlation analyses were used. Results: A total of 101 patients were analyzed. There were 58 males and 43 females. The microalbuminuria was positive in 44.6% of newly diagnosed cases. There was no relationship between the random sugar values, age, or sex with the incidence of microalbuminuria. The mean ages of both the positive and negative cases were similar. Conclusion: There was a high incidence of microalbuminuria in our study among newly diagnosed DM. With such a high incidence of early renal damage on diagnosis, we suggest that the initial management should switch from other drugs to inhibitors of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2). We theorize that the high incidence may be due to a delayed diagnosis of diabetes in our area and a poor control of the disease. With such a high incidence of early renal damage on diagnosis, we suggest that the initial management should switch from other drugs to inhibitors of the SGLT2. This is the first such study on the incidence of early nephropathy on first diagnosis of DM.","PeriodicalId":8534,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care","volume":"2010 1","pages":"243 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78904420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the diagnostic criteria for prediabetes differ between international professional organizations, it is still a high-risk state for getting diabetes, with an annual conversion rate of 5%–10%. Plants and plant-derived products have been the first treatment choice in ancient India. Of late, they have regained a preference for allopathic medicine. Prediabetes, if identified early and treated, the intermittent hyperglycemia, as well as its complications, can be prevented or reverted. Costus pictus D Don would serve this purpose. Materials and Methods: The present study was aimed to study the effect of methanolic leaf extract of Costus pictus D Don on glycemic status and cognitive behavior in induced prediabetic status. Prediabetic status was induced by 35% sucrose solution. Glycemic status was assessed by the Oral glucose tolerance test, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, and QUantitative Insulin sensitivity Check Index. Cognitive and anxiety-like behavior was assessed by elevated T maze and open arena maze. After the termination of the study, all the animals were sacrificed and their brain was sectioned and stained with H and E strain to check for any associated change in the hippocampal region to correlate with the observed behavioral change. Results: Methanolic leaf extract of Costus pictus D Don had a significant effect on normalizing glycemic status in prediabetic rats. Meanwhile, they did not cause hypoglycemia when given to normal rats. Methanolic leaf extract of Costus pictus D Don reduces blood glucose level and insulin level in both doses of 100 mg and 200 mg/kg BW. The extract exhibited an anxiolytic effect and improved cognition in prediabetic rats. When compared to control rats, the prediabetic rats exhibited slow learning. This was evident with an increase in transfer latency. Delta percentage was minimum in prediabetic animals indicating poor learning ability associated with prediabetes. The extract at the dose of 200 mg/Kg BW was found to revert this adverse effect back to near normal. Conclusion: Leaves of Costus pictus D Don can be a better choice for normalizing the hyperglycemic status and improving prediabetic induced mental disturbances such as anxiety and cognitive dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":8534,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care","volume":"13 1","pages":"224 - 230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81740858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
