Relation between heart rate variability and spectral analysis of electroencephalogram in chronic neuropathic pain patients.

Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) is a complex condition often arising from neural maladaptation after nerve injury. Understanding CNP complications involves the intricate interplay between brain-heart dynamics, assessed through quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) and heart rate variability (HRV). However, insights into their interaction in chronic pain are limited.

Comparison of Heart Rate Variability, QTc, and JT Interval Between Diabetic Patients and Healthy Controls: Role of Gender and Phases of Menstrual Cycle.

Background and objectives Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders with variable degrees of insulin resistance and altered glucose metabolism. Increased attention in studying the role of gonadal hormones in diabetes is not only due to their relation to insulin sensitivity, and glucose tolerance but also to the gender-specific nature of the prevalence of various diabetic complications. The cyclical change in the hormone level in females will make it necessary to consider the menstrual cycle while analyzing the risk factors for diabetes.

Association of Circulating Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor with Cognition among Adult Obese Population.

Background: Obesity has a strong association with the risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia at a later age. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor appear to be important components in cognitive function and are also involved in energy homeostasis. The level of circulating BDNF and its association with cognition has yet to be delineated clearly.

Effect of exercise intensity on lipid profile in sedentary obese adults.

Background: Exercise is a lifestyle change that has been recommended for lowering atherogenic index in adults. The intensity and duration of exercise to bring about a change in the lipid parameters are yet to be determined. Previous studies examining the effects of exercise intensity on lipid and lipoprotein levels have reported conflicting findings.

Slow yogic breathing through right and left nostril influences sympathovagal balance, heart rate variability, and cardiovascular risks in young adults.

Background: Specific nostril breathing is known to influence autonomic functions.

Aim: The study was to assess the effects of right nostril breathing (RNB) and left nostril breathing (LNB) on heart rate variability (HRV) and cardiovascular functions.

Material And Methods: Eighty-five student volunteers were divided into three groups: RNB group (n = 30), LNB group (n = 30), and control group (n = 25).

The effects of short-term relaxation therapy on indices of heart rate variability and blood pressure in young adults.

Purpose: Assessment of short-term practice of relaxation therapy on autonomic and cardiovascular functions in first-year medical students.

Design: Case-control, interventional study.

Setting: Medical college laboratory.
