Impact of Dance or Music and Meditation on the Progression of Parkinson Disease With Mild or Moderate Severity: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunctions and nonmotor symptoms. Current treatments do not alter disease progression, highlighting the need for alternative therapies. Music, dance, and mindfulness meditation have shown the potential to improve symptoms and quality of life in patients with PD.

Interatrial septum dissection, severe aortic stenosis, and paravalvular mitral regurgitation: A rare combination and their hemodynamic interrelationship.

Left atrial wall dissection is a rare entity with controversial management approaches. We report the case of an 85-year-old woman with a mitral bioprosthetic admitted for heart failure. Diagnosis of atrial septum dissection, severe aortic stenosis, and paravalvular mitral regurgitation was established.

A Study of Srum Homocysteine Level in Ischaemic Stoke.

Unlabelled: Stroke remains the second leading cause of death world wide after ischaemic heart disease. Stroke occurs mainly due to infarction which accpounts for 85% of etiological factors and 15% due to hemorrhage. Hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with premature atherosclerosis and vascular events and it is an important risk factor for cerebrovascular accidents.

Serum Amylase and Lipase Estimation in Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

Unlabelled: Diabetic ketoacidosis is one of the hyperglycemic emergencies, there is insulin deficiency coupled with concomitant elevation of counter regulatory hormones. This hormonal imbalance promotes gluconeogenesis, glycolysis, glycogenolysis, protein breakdown and lipolysis.The symptoms of DKA like nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain can be present in acute pancreatitis also.

Analyzing the factors affecting the attitude of public toward lockdown, institutional trust, and civic engagement activities.

The early 2020 witnessed Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic followed by a nationwide lockdown in the whole history for the first time. The entire world had to go for nationwide lockdown to curb the spread of such contagious and deadly disease. In short, the coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent lockdown had created a storm in the world giving rise to change in public with respect to parameters like trust in the government institutions, civic engagement, and so on.

Strontium ion cross-linked alginate-g-poly (PEGMA) xerogels for wound healing applications: in vitro studies.

Alginate-g-polyethylene glycol methacrylate xerogels cross-linked with strontium ions (AGPMS) were developed for wound healing applications. Grafting improved the mechanical properties of alginate xerogel significantly. Strontium cross-linking further strengthened the xerogel.

Cationised dextran and pullulan modified with diethyl aminoethyl methacrylate for gene delivery in cancer cells.

This work describes the synthesis and characterisation of cationised dextran and pullulan modified with diethyl aminoethyl methacrylate (DEAEM) for gene delivery in cancer cells. To dextran and pullulan, PEI was conjugated to impart cationicity. These cationised polysaccharides were then modified with DEAEM monomer via Michael addition reaction and synthesised four different derivatives viz DPD I, DPD II, PPD I and PPD II.

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess the use of moxonidine, a centrally acting anti-hypertensive agent in real world practice.

Material And Methods: Patients who attended out-patients clinic with diagnosis of hypertension were enrolled in the study. Demographics with co-morbid illnesses of all patients were recorded.

The Antihypertensive Efficacy of Chlorthalidone and Telmisartan in Indian Hypertensive Patients who were Uncontrolled with Hydrochlorothiazide and Telmisartan Combination-A Prospective and an Open Label Study.

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the antihypertensive efficacy of the chlorthalidone and telmisartan combination in Indian hypertensive patients who remained uncontrolled after taking the hydrochlorothiazide and telmisartan combination.

Methods: A total of 100 eligible patients were enrolled in this prospective, open label study. The patients were given telmisartan (40 mg) and chlorthalidone (12.
