In this study,50 women (30 pregnant and 20 nulliparous controls), and aged between 28-38 years were selected from Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Guwahati, Assam. The viscosity of the blood samples were indirectly measured using 1ml syringe to note the time taken to dispense. The results of the study showed that it took a significantly longer (P<0.05) time for the blood of pregnant women to be dispensed through the syringe than that of the nulliparous subjects. This implies that the blood of pregnant women is much more viscous than that of the nulliparous women, hence, the need for the rheological factors to be closely monitored is a must during pregnancy.

Often, new graduates start with this period without any clear aim. An Orientation programme was conducted by MEU, AIMS faculty members & administrators for the first year medical post graduates to familiarize them with their clinical tasks & also their role in the community. The programme presented the students with various learning experiences, aimed at developing knowledge, skills & attitudes required for a medical profession, by including interactive lectures & group discussions. Feedback using a structured self completion questionnaire & during the informal group discussions were collected to assess & evaluate if they found the sessions relevant & useful. The evaluation also included a pre-test & post-test questionnaire. Data was analysed for probability of responses...

Either chanting or thinking about 'Om' is anecdotally reported to cause a quite mental state, and improve the all round performance of the brain and body. OBJECTIVES: The study design aimed to find the effect of 'OM meditation' on Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) & breath holding time (BHT), among Non-targeted thinking (control) & Dhyana ('Om' meditation) groups. METHODS: Source of DATA: 30 healthy male MBBS students (in the age group of 18- 20 years) of Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences, B.G. Nagara, studying 1 st year MBBS, were included in the study. The group was divided equally into two sub-groups on a random basis (each sub-group consisting 15 students). Each of these sub-groups was made to get familiarized with the procedure. I. DHYANA GROUP - performing a targeted thinking task - 'Om' meditation. II. CONTROL GROUP - performing a non-targeted task, i.e. sitti...

We hypothesized that programmed exercise training improves the Peak expiratory flow rate in overweight, more so if there is associated weight loss. Objective: The objective was to investigate and evaluate the effect of dynamic exercise and dietary weight-loss program of 12 weeks on the Body mass index and Peak expiratory flow rate in overweight adolescents. Settings and Design: Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences, Karnataka. A cross-sectional pilot study. Materials and Methods: Dynamic lung parameter, Peak expiratory flow rate, was measured in 20 overweight boys and in equal number of age and gender matched normal weight controls using computerized spirometer (BPL APREMIS 3.1). Statistical analysis used: Collected data were statistically treated...

Statistical analysis used: Collected data were statistically treated using the SPSS software. Results – Body mass index and pre training baseline Peak expiratory flow rate revealed very significant difference (P< 0.001) between the two groups. Following 12 weeks of regular aerobic exercise combined with calorie restricted diet protocol, the experimental group showed a longer pulmonary endurance. Overall 19.6% improvement in Peak expiratory flow rate was observed in the high-BMI participants. The pre-and post-training changes in the Body mass index amongst the overweight, was statistically significant (P = 0.0350) with 25% i.e., five boys achieving healthy weight limit. Conclusion: Body mass index, restricted diet and exercise are concomitantly affecting Peak expiratory flow rate result. The results indicate that exercise training with a restricted diet not only improved respiratory fitness but more so the Body mass index in the overweight adolescents.
