BACKGROUND: Constant and consistent exercise will improve the efficiency of a vital organ, our lungs, and that all people, even young subjects, need to work this organ along with the rest of their body for a healthier life. Hence the present study was under taken to show that consistent aerobic activity, would exhibit a significantly greater lung capacity. OBJECTIVES: To compare the lung volumes and pulmonary functions of young trained men with those of healthy sedentary age-matched controls, to determine whether physical activity (Exercise) and lifestyle effects the pulmonary function and delays decline of lung function. MATERIAL & METHODS: A total of 100 subjects comprising physically active men who exercised for 90minutes every day from one year and sedentary men were assessed for pulmonary function test. The parameters used as determinants of lung function were FVC, FEV1, PEF 50% and FEV1% were recorded as per standard procedure using Medspiror. RESULTS: Pulmonary Function Profile was analyzed and compared between the two groups. In our study the physically active group were having higher mean of FVC 4.98+0.15 FEV1 of 4.077+0.115, PEF 50% of 4.462+0.108 and FEV1% of 82.48+0.441 as compared to sedentary group. CONCLUSION: The FVC, FEV1, PEF 50% and FEV1% were higher in physically active young men than in the normal sedentary control individuals. This study proves that a physically active lifestyle improves the lung functions and probably delays the decline in the lung functioning as well.
BACKGROUND:Research has been done on PMS in many countries, but very few studies have been reported on the experience of Indian women. This study was conducted so that Measures can be adopted to reduce the incidence of this disorder which influences the quality of life in young girls. OBJECTIVES: To find out the frequency of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in young college girls and to describe the severity of physical and emotional symptoms. METHODS: An observational study was conducted at Katuri Medical College, Guntur by convenient sampling On400 young girls aged 18-25 years. The consent of the medical students was taken and they were asked to fill Moos Menstrual Distress Questionnaire .Results were given according to both criteria i.e. ICD-10 RESULTS: The frequency of premenstrual syndrome was 55% according to ICD-10 criteria, among which 48% was mild, 27% moderate and 25% severe. The order of frequency of symptoms occurring in PMS was general body discomfort, anxiety, backache, fatigue and depression. CONCLUSION: Premenstrual syndrome is a physiological problem effecting young girls. Doctors should adopt healthy lifestyle recommendations to reduce the incidence of premenstrual syndrome and improve the quality of life in young girls.
BACKGROUNDThe clinical significance of the ABO blood group system extends beyond transfusion medicine. It is remarkable that 100 years after the work of Karl Landsteiner (1900) on blood grouping, the scene is different and numerous studies have been carried out on association of blood groups with diseases. But, very less research is done on association of blood groups with other haematological parameters like bleeding time and clotting time.The aim of the present study is to establish a relationship between blood groups and bleeding time, clotting time and to observe if there is any gender-based differences of the same. MATERIALS AND METHODSIn order to add to the existing knowledge on the subject, we studied 150 normal healthy subjects (Medical students) to find out the probable relationship between Blood groups and gender with bleeding time & clotting time. Blood group determination was done by mixing the sample of blood with antisera A and B and Anti D antisera and was confirmed by looking for clumping of RBCs under the microscope. Bleeding time was estimated by Duke Method and clotting time was estimated by capillary tube method. RESULTSIn our study, we observed that the O blood group individuals are having greater bleeding time and clotting time than the non-O blood group individuals. Females had more bleeding time and clotting time than males. CONCLUSIONSo, through this research, the fact that there is a gender-based difference in the Bleeding time and Clotting time is proven. The relationship between bleeding time and clotting time with the blood groups was also studied.
