Electrodiagnostic evaluation in diabetes mellitus: A study based on case series in 72 diabetic patients.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications of diabetes; so, a nerve conduction study (NCS) is conducted to detect the type of neuropathy that is present. To discuss the NCS findings in diabetic patients. An observational study was conducted in the Physiology Department of AIIMS, Bhopal, in collaboration with the Medicine Department of the Institute.

Normative data of Ankle brachial pressure Index and Toe brachial index in normal healthy male adult using fully automated vascular Doppler.

Context: Peripheral vascular disease affects some 12%-14% of the general population, and the majority of people with the disease are asymptomatic. Risk factors for it are smoking, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and syndrome X. The Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) is one of the screening noninvasive methods for the diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease.

Heart Rate Variability among Healthy Untrained Adults during Mild Intensity Stationary Cycling Exercise.

Background: Stationary cycling is the popular, preferred, and convenient form of exercise. During exercise, autonomic modulation is seen which can be assessed by heart rate variability (HRV). The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in HRV during mild-intensity cycling exercise.

Effectiveness of Semmes Weinstein 10 gm monofilament in diabetic peripheral neuropathy taking nerve conduction and autonomic function study as reference tests.

Context: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) if detected early can reduce the burden on the health system and prevent the development of diabetic foot ulcers and amputation.

Aim: To study the effectiveness of Semmes Weinstein 10 gm monofilament in detecting DPN taking nerve conduction studies (NCS) and autonomic function testing (AFT) as reference tests.

Settings And Design: Observational and comparative cross-sectional study conducted in the Physiology department AIIMS, Bhopal in collaboration with the Medicine department of the institute.

Comparative change in P300 indices following antidepressant treatment in patients with major depressive disorder.

Context: Cognitive disturbance is seen in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Event-related potential can assist in measuring the neurocognition, and P300 is the most commonly used noninvasive electrophysiological parameter for measuring cognition.

Aims: The aim of this study is to assess the baseline P300 parameters, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), and Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores and compare them with their levels after 3 months of antidepressant therapy.

Perception of e-learning in medical students and faculty during COVID time: A study based on a questionnaire-based survey.

Background: With the emergence of COVID, we are forced to use e-learning in form of arranging online classes for students. Medical educators all over the world are conducting online classes for students. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of online learning among MBBS students and teachers through a questionnaire-based survey.

Effect of head down tilt on heart rate variability.

Context: Sirshasan is supposed to increase blood flow to the brain and considered to be beneficial for intellectual function, however mastering these techniques may be difficult.

Aims: To see the effect of headstand using a tilt table on heart rate variability (HRV).

Settings And Design: A cross-sectional study that was done on 26 healthy volunteers.

Effect of music tempo on exercise performance and heart rate among young adults.

Background & Objectives: Music captures attention, triggers a range of emotions, alters or regulates mood, increases work output, heightens arousal, induces states of higher functioning, reduces inhibitions and encourages rhythmic movement. Music has ergo-genic effect as well, it increases exercise performance, delays fatigue and increases performance and endurance, power and strength. Our study tried to evaluate the effect of music on exercise performance in young untrained subjects.
