Introduction: A multitude of modalities are available for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, however, each has its side effects and compliance issues. Bhramari pranayama, which is a breathing exercise in the practice of yoga, offers an inexpensive and free from side effect modality in this regard. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Bhramari pranayama in relieving the symptoms of chronic sinusitis. Methodology: A total of 60 patients with chronic sinusitis were randomly divided into two groups, one received conventional treatment of chronic sinusitis and the other group was in addition taught to practice yogic breathing exercise Bhramari pranayama. The patients were advised to practice this breathing exercise twice a day and were followed up at 1, 4, and 12 weeks using the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22 score). Results: The mean SNOT-22 score in the group following the Bhramari pranayama breathing exercise using the ANOVA test improved from 39.13 ± 9.10 to 24.79 ± 8.31 ( P = 0.0002), this improvement was seen by the end of 4 weeks itself and continued until the 12 th week of assessment. Conclusion: Integrating regular practice of Bhramari pranayama along with the conventional management of chronic rhinosinusitis is more effective than conventional management alone.
To estimate the level of fibrinogen in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: We conducted a hospital based study of 100 random patients, divided into 4 groups, 25 in each group and compared serum fibrinogen between the group during the study period from November 2019 to April 2021. The patients will be sub classified into four groups: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications (Group -A). Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with microvascular complications (Group -B). Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with macrovascular complications (Group -C). Patients with type2 diabetes mellitus with both microvascular and macrovascular complications (Group -D). Results: The difference between serum fibrinogen levels among 4 groups were statistically significant (p< 0.001) Conclusion: Fibrinogen could be potential marker for prediction and prevention of microvascular and macrovascular complication.
