    Abstract Context: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a prevalent and often neglected condition that affects around 80% of women of reproductive age. In PMS, abnormal fluctuations in gonadal hormones cause altered homeostasis, resulting in sympatho-vagal imbalance and poor cognition.
    Aim: To compare autonomic function parameters and cognitive performance between PMS and control groups, and to study the effect of pranayama on the above parameters in PMS women.
    Settings and design: It was a randomized control trial.
    Materials and methods: We recruited 40 women of reproductive age who fit the inclusion criteria. They were asked to complete the Premenstrual Syndrome Screening Tool (PSST) questionnaire and were categorized as having PMS (
    Statistical analysis used: SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data. For parametric data, the unpaired
    Results: According to the findings, autonomic function and cognition were considerably affected in the PMS group and improved significantly in the PMS group following pranayama intervention.
    Conclusion: Pranayama is an effective and safe non-pharmacological method for treating PMS and improving women's quality of life.

    Abstract Abstract Stress and depression have been reported in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Though inflammation and oxidative stress are associated with depression, there are no reports of link of cardiometabolic risks (CMR) to stress and depression in GDM. Normal pregnant women (control group, n = 164) and women with GDM (study group, n = 176) at 36th week of gestation were recruited for the study. Blood pressure (BP), body composition, heart rate variability (HRV), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), markers of insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, were assessed. Perceived stress score (PSS), quality of life (QoL) scale, Indian diabetic risk score (IDRS) and Edinburg postnatal depression score (EPDS) were assessed. Association of potential contributors to PSS and EDPS were assessed by correlation and regression analyses. There was significant increase in PSS, EPDS, IDRS scores, HbA1C, malondialdehyde (MDA) (oxidative stress marker) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 (inflammatory markers), and significant decrease in total power (TP) of HRV (marker of cardiovagal modulation), QoL and nitric oxide (endothelial dysfunction marker) in study group compared to control group. Though many cardiometabolic risk parameters were correlated with PSS and EPDS, the significant independent association was observed for TP, HbA1C, MDA and interleukin-6. However, interleukin-6 had maximum contribution to PSS (β = 0.550, p < 0.001) and EPDS (β = 0.393, p < 0.001) as demonstrated by multiple regression analysis. Inflammation, oxidative stress, glycation status and decreased cardiovagal modulation are associated with stress and depression at 36th week of gestation in GDM.

    Abstract Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a clinical entity of concern in women of reproductive age group with its onset during the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle that typically resolves within a few days after the onset of menstruation. Female reproductive hormones stimulate the gene promotor region of Gonadal steroids, which are modulators of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, in association with the autonomic nervous system (ANS), form the stress system, which regulates the homeostatic mechanisms of the body. Disruption of this mechanism can lead to sympathovagal imbalance and cognitive deficits. Objectives: This study was aimed to compare the autonomic functions and cognition between PMS and control group. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted as a pilot study with 20 subjects in each group. Autonomic function test and P300 were recorded. Study participants were also asked to answer Montreal cognitive assessment (MOCA) questionnaire. Results: On comparison of the test results between the two groups, individuals in PMS group were found to have increased sympathetic activity and reduced cognition when compared to the no PMS (control) group. Conclusion: The findings from this study proves a detrimental effect of gonadal steroids on autonomic nervous system and cognition.

    Abstract Background: Hypertension has been reported to cause impaired cardiovagal modulation and a wide variety of cognitive loss. However, the link cardiovagal modulation to neurocognitive impairment has not been studied yet. The present study has compared the link cardiovagal modulation to neurocognitive impairment between prehypertension and newly diagnosed hypertension in young adults.
    Methods: One hundred forty-seven subjects (42 normotensives, 54 prehypertensives and 51 newly diagnosed hypertensives) aged between 18-44 years were included in this case-control study. The demographic, anthropometric, basal parameters, heart rate variability (HRV), cardiovascular autonomic function tests (CAFTs), event-related potential P300 and biochemical parameters were recorded in all the groups. Association of various parameters with neurocognitive deficit was studied by Pearson correlation analysis and independent contribution of various factors to cognitive deficit was assessed by multiple regression analysis in the study groups.
    Results: Total power (TP) of HRV, the marker of cardiovagal modulation was reduced in both prehypertensives and hypertensives compared to controls. Among CAFTs, the ΔDBP
    Conclusion: Prehypertensives had considerable autonomic imbalance, reduced cardiovagal modulation and neurocognitive deficit that were comparable to newly diagnosed hypertensives. Though the causal relationship between cardiovagal modulation and neurocognitive impairment can't be established from the findings of the present study, it appears that neurocognitive deficit might have some possible link to the decreased cardiovagal modulation and metabolic derangements in young prehypertensives and hypertensives.

    Abstract Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication affecting more than 50% of patients with longstanding diabetes. Till date, there are no reports to explain the scientific basis of alternative medicine as an adjunct therapy for treating diabetic neuropathy. Hence, we studied the effect of honey and insulin treatment on hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, oxidant and anti-oxidant status and nerve conduction in experimental diabetic neuropathy Wistar rats. In this experimental study, forty healthy male Wistar albino rats of 10-12 weeks age, weighing between 150 to 200g were obtained from our institute central animal house. After acclimatization, the rats were divided into control (n = 8) and experimental (n = 32) groups randomly. In the experimental group, type 2 diabetic neuropathy was induced with high fat and high sugar diet for 8 weeks followed by streptozotocin at a dose of 35 mg/kg body weight. Three days after streptozotocin injection, blood glucose levels of rats were measured from fasting samples to confirm diabetes. After the development of diabetes, rats were given standard rodent chow and allowed four more weeks to remain diabetic and to develop neuropathy. Every second week, nerve conduction study was done to confirm neuropathy. All the diabetic rats of experimental group developed neuropathy after 4 weeks of developing diabetes, which was confirmed by significant reduction in conduction velocity of sensory and motor nerve when compared to non-diabetic control group. After the development of neuropathy, these rats were randomly divided into diabetic neuropathy with no treatment group (n = 8) and three treatment groups (n = 8, each). The rats of treatment group were administered with either honey or insulin or honey+insulin for six weeks. After six-weeks of intervention, there was significant decrease in blood glucose and lipids in honey, insulin and honey+insulin treated neuropathy rats, when compared with no treatment group. Malondialdehyde was reduced and total anti-oxidant status improved in all the ...

    Abstract Context: Diabetic neuropathy, a common debilitating complication of type 2 diabetes, can occur despite adequate treatment. To date, no studies have occurred on the use alternative medicine as an adjunct therapy for treating diabetic neuropathy.
    Objective: The study assessed the effects of three months of honey supplementation on insulin resistance, lipid profiles, oxidant status, nerve conduction, and QOL in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
    Methods/design: The research team designed a single-arm, open-label pilot study.
    Setting: The study took place at the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) in Puducherry, India.
    Participants: The study included 48 patients with diabetic neuropathy at the institute, with a mean age of 58.91 ± 7.976 years.
    Intervention: Participants took honey for three months at a dose of 0.5 gm/Kg of body weight per day.
    Outcome measures: Participants completed the Neuropathy Total Symptom Score-6 (NTSS-6) questionnaire and the Norfolk QOL Diabetic Neuropathy (Norfolk QOL-DN) questionnaire at baseline and postintervention. Also, participants' glucose levels, lipid profiles, and biochemical markers were obtained and a nerve conduction study was completed at baseline and postintervention.
    Results: A significant reduction occurred in the NTSS-6 score (P < .0001) and the Norfolk QOL-DN total score (P < .0001) from baseline to postintervention. Participants' fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) decreased significantly, at P = .0192, P = .0371, and P = .0049, respectively. Their malondialdehyde (MDA), and inflammatory markers interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) also decreased significantly, and MDA showed a significant correlation with neuron specific enolase (NSE).
    Conclusions: Three months honey supplementation reduced participants' subjective pain scores and symptoms from diabetic neuropathy and improved their QOL. However, the nerve conduction study showed that no significant change had occurred in motor velocity.
