It is found to be affected by factors like physiological stress, mood and diseases like neuropathy & nerve injury. Various relaxation interventions have shown to reduce stress, but there are fewer reports about the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on stress and reaction time. Objective: The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on visual and auditory reaction times (RTs) & on Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) Score. Method: 66 students who had moderate to severe stress & who met the inclusion & exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study and were randomly divided into 2 groups- subjects & controls. 33 subjects were given progressive muscle relaxation training daily for 6 weeks. DASS score, visual & auditory reaction time were recorded before & after the training period. The readings were compared within the group & also with the age matched 33 controls who did not receive Progressive muscle relaxation training. Results & Interpretation: In the study group, there was decrease in the DASS score after the training. There was a significant decrease (P< 0.001) in visual RT (from 255.4 ± 58.0ms to 208.6 ± 37.8ms) as well as auditory RT (from 225.2 ± 061.4ms to 187.9 ± 038.5ms). whereas the change in reaction time & DASS score was not significant in the control group. Conclusion: Decrease in DASS Score & reduction in reaction times following progressive muscle relaxation technique, shows that it is a very effective tool in decreasing the stress levels in individuals. Progressive muscle relaxation is an easy and inexpensive method as it may help students to concentrate better & excel in their studies.","PeriodicalId":92916,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41852995","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}

In 2016, 39% of adults worldwide were overweight. Fueled by economic growth, urbanization, an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, and a nutritional transition to processed foods and high calorie diets over the last 30 years, many countries have witnessed the prevalence of obesity in its citizens double, and even quadruple. Obesity especially visceral obesity causes insulin resistance and is associated with dyslipidemia, impaired glucose metabolism, and hypertension all of which exacerbate atherosclerosis, and are risk factors for developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The primary dyslipidemia related to obesity is characterized by increased total cholesterol (TC), decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels and abnormal low density lipoprotein (LDL) composition. Lipoprotein ratios are becoming increasingly popular as a way to predict atherosclerosis and CVD. \u0000Aims and Objectives: The present study was undertaken to assess the impact of overweight/obesity on lipid profile parameters and lipoprotein ratios- Castelli’s Risk Index I and II, in young adult females. \u0000Materials and Method: The present study was conducted in KIMS, Hubli, the study and its conduct was cleared by the Ethical committee. Sixty apparently healthy young females were selected for the study. Health status and other personal data were obtained via comprehensive questionnaire. The subjects were divided into two groups based on BMI; Healthy (BMI 18.5-24.99) and Overweight (BMI > 25). Lipid profile was evaluated and lipoprotein ratios calculated. Comparison between the two groups was done using students’ t-test. \u0000Results: Values for Castelli’s Risk Index I & II were found to be significantly higher in the overweight group compared to the control group. \u0000Conclusion: Obesity leads to an unfavorable lipid pattern and raises values of both Castelli’s Risk Index I & II.","PeriodicalId":92916,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology","volume":"8 1","pages":"21-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48418212","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}

In Senegal, studies on the lung function of bakery-pastry employees are rare. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the clinical respiratory manifestations and ventilatory disorders (VD) related to flour dust exposure among traditional bakers and pastry makers in the city of Thies, Senegal. \u0000Materials and Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Forty subjects were recruited. Subjects received a basic and post-bronchodilator spirometry. The targeted respiratory functional disorders were bronchial obstruction, functional restriction and mixed syndrome. \u0000Results: The average length of service at the workplace was 7±6,7 years. Smokers represented 17,5%. A respiratory symptoms were found in 65% of our subjects. Coughing, sneezing and rhinorrhea were more frequent with 50%, 24% and 17% respectively. The most common ventilatory disorders among exposed bakers were of the mixed type (22,5%). On the other hand, 12,5% had an isolated obstructive ventilatory disorder (OVD) and a restrictive functional disorder (RFD) was found in 10%. The obstructive ventilatory disorders were dominated by obstruction of the small airways (80%). The severity of ventilatory disorders was of a moderate deficit type (87% and 62% respectively). Respiratory function abnormalities were more common in the smokers with a prevalence of ventilatory disorders that increased with age of employment. However, the effect of exposure appears to be clear because among non-smokers, 12,13 % of the exposed patients had respiratory functional abnormalities with isolated restrictive functional disorder type. \u0000Conclusion: This study showed that bakery and pastry workers have various respiratory symptoms and ventilatory disorders. Smoking and job tenure remain factors that increase these flour dust-related risks.","PeriodicalId":92916,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physiology","volume":"8 1","pages":"136-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48608061","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}
