Introduction: Hypertension has a direct relationship with the circulation, respiration, and function of vital organs. Similarly, complementary therapy such as alternate nostril breathing exercise has a direct effect on mental and physical health.
Materials And Methods: This is a quantitative experimental research with randomized controlled trial design. A total of 170 and 85 individuals were allotted to each group. Patients in the study group were instructed alternate nostril breathing exercise two times a day (10 min duration of exercise each time) for 5 days along with routine treatment, and patients in the control group underwent routine treatment.
Results: There was a marked reduction in systolic blood pressure (BP), diastolic BP, heart rate, and rate pressure product after the continuous 5-day alternate nostril breathing exercise in the study group. < 0.0001 demonstrated a statistically significant difference in systolic BP, diastolic BP, heart rate, and rate pressure product that existed pre- and post-assessment on 1 day and 5 day.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that regular simple alternate nostril breathing exercise effectively reduces hypertension.

Background: The colonization of (SA) acquired in nosocomial infections may develop acute and chronic infections such as Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA) in the nose. As a commensal microorganism with the ability to form a biofilm, SA can dwell on the skin, nostrils, throat, perineum, and axillae of healthy humans. Nitric oxide (NO) is an unstable gas with various molecular functions and has antimicrobial properties which are converted into many potential treatments.

Introduction: Yoga practices emphasize spinal energy's role in physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, suggesting specific techniques that can enhance energy flow along the spine. Modern research aims to validate these claims and understand the mechanisms behind these effects, potentially integrating them into contemporary healthcare models. This study explores the relationship between yoga breathing techniques, spinal energy dynamics, and health based on yoga philosophy and bioenergetics.

Changes in breathing during pranayama (yoga breathwork) are usually inferred from practice guidelines in traditional texts or contemporary writings. These changes point to understanding the effects of pranayama and indicate applications of pranayama in health. Previously, a pilot study on a single participant suggested that each pranayama changes breathing uniquely.

Aim: To assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of using a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) for stabilising very preterm infants after birth.
Methods: A prospective observational study included preterm infants born at 28 + 0 to 31 + 6 weeks' gestation between February 2021 and December 2022 at the General University Hospital in Prague. Following delayed cord clamping, HFNC was administered at a flow rate of 8 L/min through the infants' nostrils.

Article Synopsis
- The Uninostril Endonasal Transsphenoidal approach preserves nasal anatomy, allowing for normal breathing and fewer nasal complications post-surgery, while providing simplified access and preserving the other nostril for potential use.
- It is particularly suitable for certain types of pituitary adenomas and focuses on proper patient positioning to facilitate optimal tumor removal and minimize bleeding.
- However, this technique does face challenges like a limited field of view and potential difficulties in instrument maneuverability, which may necessitate converting to the Bi-nostril approach if complications arise.
