Mindfulness as a Path to Freedom from Internet Addiction in Adolescents: A Narrative Review.

In recent years, Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) has become a major mental health concern among adolescents, with detrimental effects on social relationships, academic performance, and emotional well-being. The focus of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on improving self-awareness, emotional regulation, and cognitive flexibility has drawn interest in MBIs as possible therapeutic approaches for treating IAD. The purpose of this narrative review is to investigate how mindfulness interventions affect teenagers who are experiencing IAD.

Hematological Parameters as an Early Marker of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Diabetes Mellitus: An Observational Study.

Background Although the association between the presence of diabetes mellitus and the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is well known, the role of novel biomarkers in predicting the development of DVT in diabetic patients is not yet known to a large extent. Studies have shown that complete blood count (CBC) and CBC-derived parameters such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) can be used as surrogate markers to detect DVT. This study was conducted to assess the utility of NLR and PLR as a marker of DVT in diabetic patients.

Association of peripheral neuropathy with skeletal muscle mass and function in type two diabetes mellitus patients: A cross-sectional study.

Background & Objective: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is considered to be a risk factor for development of sarcopenia. Therefore, our study aimed to detect the association between peripheral neuropathy with skeletal muscle mass and function in type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.

Methods: A total of 176 participants, ≥45 years were included in the study.

Identification of Candidate Immune System MicroRNAs Differentially Found in Colostrum and Milk Exosomes.

Background: The fetus grows in a sterile womb environment. After birth, the newborn immune system has two immediate hurdles to clear. First immediate suppression of the womb compatible immune system and turn on the immune system of the newborn that can counter the antigenic world.

Sarcopenia: An Age-Related Multifactorial Disorder.

Sarcopenia is a disease characterized by a gradual decline in skeletal muscle mass and strength that accompanies the normal aging process. The disease is associated with various adverse health outcomes in the geriatric population, such as prolonged hospital admission, disability, poor quality of life, frailty, and mortality. Factors involved in the development of age-related sarcopenia include anorexia, hormone level alterations, decreased neural innervation, low muscular blood flow, cytokine dysregulation, altered mitochondrial activity, genomic instability, intracellular proteolysis, and insulin resistance.

Impact of yoga intervention on menopausal symptoms-specific quality of life and changes in hormonal level among menopausal women.

Aim: The menopause transition is experienced by women often involves troublesome symptoms due to changes in the level of reproductive hormones. Non-hormonal therapies are more commonly accepted by women than hormonal therapy for coping with the climacteric symptoms. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of yoga practice on menopausal symptoms, specific quality of life, and changes in hormonal levels among menopausal women.

Glycogen Accumulation in Neutrophil Can Be a Marker of Sepsis.

Background: Sepsis, a systemic inflammatory reaction to infection, is the leading cause of death in the world. The early detection and identification of pro-inflammatory changes in overall metabolism and functioning can help in the proper intervention and control of the inflammatory state, and it will improve the prognosis.

Aim: In a resource-limited setting where the biomarkers are not easily accessible, this simple technique is required that can help in the early identification of infection and inflammation.

Anticancer Activity of Virgin Coconut Oil and its Fractions in Liver and Oral Cancer Cells.

Background: Coconut oil is an edible oil obtained from fresh, mature coconut kernels. Few studies have reported the anticancer role of coconut oil. The fatty acid component of coconut oil directly targets the liver by portal circulation and as chylomicron via lymph.

Understanding perception of active noise control system through multichannel EEG analysis.

In this Letter, a method is proposed to investigate the effect of noise with and without active noise control (ANC) on multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. The multichannel EEG signal is recorded during different listening conditions such as silent, music, noise, ANC with background noise and ANC with both background noise and music. The multiscale analysis of EEG signal of each channel is performed using the discrete wavelet transform.

Exploring Health Situation of Indian Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Using Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) in an Urban Area of Odisha: A Case Study.

Introduction: Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex behavioural disorder in children with uncertain aetiology. Gastrointestinal metabolites have direct impact on brain function with possible role in its causation. Data on burden of Autism in India is sparse.
