    Abstract Problem considered: The study aimed to assess the body composition changes after dialysis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis and to determine the strengths of relationships between various body composition parameters and blood lipid levels in these patients. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted during May–September 2019 involving 97 patients (58 males and 39 females, age: 40–70 years) of CKD undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. The multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer was used to measure various body composition parameters like body fat percent, lean mass percent, body mass index, body fat mass index, fat-free mass index, total body water percent, extracellular water percent, intracellular water percent, nutrition index, prediction marker, basal metabolic rate, and estimated average energy requirement. Blood lipid levels were collected from the patients’ clinical records. Results: All the body composition parameters except nutrition index and prediction marker differed significantly before and after dialysis. Various body composition parameters were significantly correlated with one or more lipid levels before and after dialysis. Conclusion: The body composition parameters change significantly after hemodialysis among CKD patients. Our findings suggest that body composition parameters, whether measured before or after dialysis could be useful in assessing dyslipidemia in patients receiving hemodialysis.

    Abstract Background: Cardiovascular diseases constitute one class of common contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Prevalence of overweight and obesity has dramatically increased in developing countries and is related to cardiovascular risk factors. Anthropometric parameters have the advantages in daily clinical practice of being a simple to measure tool with good reproducibility, especially in a developing country like India. Aim of this study is to correlate some anthropometric variables with lipid parameters in healthy subjects and to assess the anthropometric variable which best reflects the altered lipid profile. Materials and Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted after the Institutional Ethical Committee Clearance. Included participants (1187) were subjected to anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference using standard procedures on the same morning of the day, as the blood sample was collected after overnight fast and estimated for fasting blood sugar and lipid profile. Results: There is a weak correlation between body mass index (BMI) and lipid parameters. Among all the anthropometric variables studied, WC is best correlated to lipid parameters. The mean values of lipid parameters were not significantly different in BMI <25 and BMI ≥25 groups. Conclusions: WC remains one of the simple and reliable variables which best reflects the lipid profile. In a developing country like India, where measurement of cardiovascular risk factors such as body fat saturation and lipid profile remains difficult in the rural population, WC may be used as an effective tool, without being used as a substitute.

    Abstract Background: Recent burden on health care organization due to acute pain and simultaneous rise in the depression cases have been ringing alarms among the medical professionals. Aims: This study was taken up with a hypothesis that acute pain and depression are inter-linked and any acute painful condition leads to some behavioural and psycho-somatic effects which needs to be detected at the earliest possible. Settings and Designs: This relationship was established by designing a cross-sectional study where four most common causes of acute pain (i.e. post-labour, post-caesarean, postoperative, dental conditions) were studied in 70 subjects each and compared with 70 subjects of control group who presented to a tertiary care hospital in Bhubaneswar, without any painful condition or underlying depression. Materials and Methods: Various pain scales (Visual Analogue Scale- VAS, Verbal Rating Scale – VRS, Box Scale) were used to assess the degree of pain while Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) was used to assess the level of depression in these subjects. Statistical Analysis: Using SPSS version 16 software, the correlation coefficient was determined between the depression levels and acute pain. Results: It was seen that the geriatric populations were more depressed, while the older adults perceived more pain. The females differed from males in their pain perception; they were more depressed and proved to be more tolerant to painful conditions such as post-partum acute painful conditions. Dental pain was found to be the second most reported painful condition after postoperative acute pain. A statistically significant strong correlation was established between depression and acute pain. Conclusion: Thus the psychosomatic component of pain needs to be evaluated on a priority basis by health providers.

    Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive decline in the cognitive functions, usually starting with memory complaints and eventually progressing to involve multiple cognitive, neuropsychological, and behavioral domains. Here, we review the possible mechanisms by which vestibular stimulation may prevent or delay AD. The current article establishes the hypothesis for the use of vestibular stimulation for the management of Alzheimer’s. We recommend translational research in this area to provide experimental evidence to support the use of vestibular stimulation.

    Abstract Aim: The present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of vestibular stimulation in the management of stress in gastric ulcers patients. Materials and Methods: This was a longitudinal follow-up study in which participants were assessed for stress parameters for 3 times. Before the intervention and after 3 months and 6 months of the intervention. 12 females of gastric ulcers were recruited for the study after written informed consent by convenient sampling. Permission obtained from the Institutional Ethics Committee of Sattva Cultural Space and Research Centre, Angamaly. Six months of vestibular stimulation was given. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20.0. All the data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The pre and post data were analyzed using paired t-test. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Depression, anxiety, and stress levels are significantly decreased after 3 months of vestibular stimulation (P < 0.05) when compared with baseline values. Scores further decreased after 6 months of intervention (P < 0.05) which indicates long-term intervention is beneficial. Conclusion: Our study results preliminary support the hypothesis that vestibular stimulation may be effective natural supplementary therapy in the management of gastric ulcers. Hence, we recommend further detailed studies in this area with higher sample size to understand the underlying mechanisms and to recommend vestibular stimulation in the treatment of gastric pathology.
