The autonomic nervous system governs rhythmic fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate, which are influenced by breathing patterns. This study aims to explore how different breathing techniques, specifically Kapalbhati (fast-paced breathing) and Slow Deep Breathing (SDB), affect heart rate variability (HRV). This study was conducted in the Department of Physiology and AYUSH at AIIMS Bhopal, India and duration was 2 (Two) months from May 2021 to June 2021 This quasi-experimental study involved 60 participants divided into two groups: Kapalbhati and SDB.

The study objective was to test the accuracy of an rr-EEG's automated seizure burden estimator (ASBE).
Methods: This is a retrospective observational study using multiple blinded reviewers.
Article Synopsis
- - The study sequences the transcriptome of Drimia indica, a medicinal plant, to analyze gene expression in various tissues and identify regulatory genes involved in the production of beneficial compounds.
- - Researchers generated over 670,000 unigenes and found significant pathways for secondary metabolite biosynthesis, including those for anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory compounds, alongside key regulatory genes such as NAC and WRKY.
- - Findings revealed two novel molecules with anticancer properties and identified genetic markers useful for studying the plant's diversity, establishing Drimia indica as a potential source of new therapeutic agents.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the use of antiseizure medications (ASMs) for patients experiencing acute symptomatic seizures and examines factors linked to ASM treatment and patient outcomes.
- Conducted at five US medical centers, it analyzed data from 1,172 hospitalized adults who underwent continuous electroencephalography after having seizures between July and September 2021.
- Results showed that 45% of patients received ASM treatment, with significant differences based on seizure type, and 31% were prescribed ASMs upon discharge, with several factors influencing these outcomes.
Leguminous crop Tephrosia candida has high biomass production and contains a substantial quantity of nutrients within its biomass. Starting in 2019, a long-term study was done to find the best Tephrosia candida dose for mulching in guava orchards. The study had four treatments: T = 3.
