There are only limited studies available which assessedautonomic functional status in smokeless tobacco users. This study was aimed to assess and compare thecardiac autonomic activity and oxidative stress in smoking and smokeless tobacco users with controls.Methods: Sixty seven apparently healthy volunteers from the construction workers of low socioeconomicstatus were recruited. Those who are having habit of using tobacco in any form (n=42) were categorizedinto smoking tobacco group (n = 22) based on the smoking index and fagerstrom score for smokelesstobacco group (n = 20). Those who never used tobacco in any form were included as control group (n= 25).Cardiovascular autonomic function tests were performed and serum malondialdehyde was measured fromvenous blood sample.Conclusion: In this study we found that there is definite alteration in cardiac autonomic function which isin correlation with the level of oxidative stress in heavy tobacco users. This alteration is seen more in heavysmokeless tobacco users in compare with smoking tobacco users.","PeriodicalId":92916,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47513396","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}

Work-related musculoskeletaldisorders are conditions in which: The work environment andperformance of work contribute significantly to the condition; and/or the condition is made worse or persistslonger due to working conditions, textile workers may be denied of their fundamental basic rightsand not muchimportance is given to their health. Textileworkers are among the maximumsusceptible as they must have towork for lengthy hoursor duration in perilous posture.Objectives: Present paper aims to study the anthropo-medical profile of textile workers especially in thecontext of musculoskeletal disorders among the textile workers.Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 215 workers working in textile industriesespecially silk sarees (Banarsi saress) of district Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh over a period of more than threemonths. Data collection was done after taking the ethical clearance using a semi-structured interviewschedule and statistical analysis was done using SPSS.Results: The result of this study shows that there were 48.5 percent of respondents found to be sufferingfrom musculoskeletal disorders. The most common affected site was low back and shoulder. Most of theworkers experienced that their pain occurred occasionally during heavy workload.Conclusion: Hence, the musculoskeletal disorders were found to be associated in age group, sex andeducational status. So, Health problems among textile workers are one of the areas of public health concernin the country. Reducing the work strain and providing a supportive workplace environment will have afavorable impact on work productivity.","PeriodicalId":92916,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44886420","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}

Hence enhancement of the same may be life-saving in somesituations. Caffeine is the most widely consumed CNS stimulant which not only enhances neurocognitiveabilities but also temporarily counteracts neurocognitive deficits. Therefore this study has been undertakento quantify the effect of Caffeine on Multi-domain neurocognitive skills.Aim: To find out the effect of Caffeine on neurocognitive abilities in occasional coffee consumersMaterials & Methods: This study was conducted on 23 participants. In all the subjects under basalconditions, a battery of multi-domain neurocognitive tests, which included ART, VRT, CFFF, Digits forwardtests were conducted. Then a standard dose of 2.2grams of instant coffee powder (Nestle – 69.6mg ofCaffeine) dissolved in 100 ml of milk was given. After 30 minutes of intake, the same battery of tests wasrepeated, and the test results were analyzed.Results: In our study, we have found that Caffeine significantly increases CFFF (p<0.001), Digits forwardtest score (p<0.001) and decreases VRT (p=0.03). It also reduces ART, but it is not statistically significant.(p=0.06).Conclusion: Caffeine significantly improves Critical flicker fusion frequency, attention span, performanceand reduces reaction time.","PeriodicalId":92916,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45713140","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 deep and restoring sleep like a baby seems to have vanished from our hectic lifestyles ,andsleep disorders like insomnia have crept in involving people across all ages and sections of society. In thegiven scenario it remains a matter of concern that most primary physicians are not trained in the variousmodalities which could be used for the treatment of insomnia. In the absence of required knowledge ininsomnia management hypnotic medication remain the preferred treatment for insomnia . The present studywas undertaken with a view to study the effectiveness of mindfulness based relaxation therapy vs hypnoticmedication for the treatment of insomnia.Methods :- A cross sectional study was conducted on 100 patients suffering from insomnia in two groups,pharmacotherapy (PCT) group and Mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) group. MBSR a programof mindfulness meditation training consisting of one hour long class daily which includes training inprogressive muscular exercises, breathing exercises, standing, sitting and walking meditations. Homepractice expectations were 30 minutes of medication per day and following an attitude of mindfulnessthrough out the day during the four week follow.Result :- The study showed comparable results on all sleep parameters for both groups. There was asignificant increase in total sleep time in both groups, the increase was more with drug group compare tothe MBSR group.Conclusion :- While the time commitment associated with participating in and practicing a behavioralintervention such as MBSR is more than with medication, our results suggest that this is not a deterrent tomost of our participants. Given patient preferences, the side effects of pharmacotherapy, evidence of theefficacy of MBSR and the potential positive benefits of meditation that go beyond management of insomniasymptoms.","PeriodicalId":92916,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45803274","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}
