“…Furthermore, the intensity of pain perception may be influenced by previous pain experiences, mood, stress, sleeping disorders, the occurrence of premenstrual syndrome, and some cultural and social influences [ 6 , 16 ]; whilst oxidative stress may also be modulated by lifestyle and environmental factors, such as diet, physical activity, alcohol consumption, smoking cigarettes, medical drug abuse, sleep deprivation, stress, or environmental pollution (pesticides, heavy metals, xenoestrogens, etc.) [ 64 , 65 , 66 ] Thus, similar factors may impact both pain and oxidative stress. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that the potential mechanism that stands behind primary dysmenorrhea and ROS balance is modulated by similar common factors.…”

Primary Dysmenorrhea in Relation to Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Status: A Systematic Review of Case-Control Studies

Primary dysmenorrhea is defined as painful menstrual cramps of uterine origin in the absence of pelvic pathology and is the most common gynecological disorder among women of reproductive age. The aim of this study was to systematically review case-control studies that have investigated the oxidative stress, antioxidant status, and inflammation markers among women with primary dysmenorrhea and controls. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (no. CRD42020183104). By searching PubMed and Scopus databases as well as reference lists, six case-control studies with fifteen eligible markers (seven oxidative stress, seven antioxidant status, one inflammation) were included in this review. The quality of the included studies was assessed as medium or high. The systematic review included 175 women with primary dysmenorrhea and 161 controls. The results indicate an elevated level of oxidative stress, especially of lipid peroxidation among dysmenorrheal women. For the antioxidant status, limited evidence was found for a lower status among primary dysmenorrhea women, and only one study examined one inflammation marker (hs-CRP), which makes it impossible for such a conclusion. To establish whether oxidative stress, antioxidant status or inflammation participate in the pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhea, high-quality studies with larger study groups and clear case definitions are needed.

“…If the necessary thought for reference or comparison, etc., is not there or wrong, then our thought becomes irrelevant or wrong. 34 Now the gamut of thoughts must be in a healthy range. If the gamut of thoughts is severely dominated by few disturbing thoughts, then it must be corrected by exposure, reasoning and understanding, ie, counseling.…”

Just few centuries back our health concerns were more related to physical illness; a century back we had more concerns related to physiological health problems; since the last few decades we have more mental health concerns. But now with general observation, it seems we have more health concerns related to: emotions, motivations, feelings, imaginations, thoughts, etc.; well-being of all these may be categorized as “Psychological Health”. Though in present scenario “Psychological Health” is a relatively negligible term; may be because it does not attract much commercial interests. But if we analyze, all our being is based on Psychological Health. Psychological Health is based on interaction of our biological system with the society and the nature. Biological aspects needs biological intervention, and social and nature interactions needs psychological intervention; hence interdisciplinary. Majority of the health issues like cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, insomnia, depression, etc., has some link with Psychological Health. Quality sleep which is the basis of almost all health aspects has direct link with psychological health. Our behavior, relevancy and efficiency of our working, our comprehending ability, etc., are based on our Psychological Status. Thus we can say our happiness depends on Physiological Health; as better health, and better performance and good behavior, makes us happy and satisfied. We have explored in this article importance of Psychological Health, in context to overall health related to: thoughts, superiority, romance, learning, physical activity, etc; and for what interventions can be made, at both psychological and physical level. As our topic may interest even common individual, hence language has been purposely kept simple.

Background and Aim: Physical inactivity and resultant obesity are highly prevalent in the contemporary world. Studies reveal that even an acute bout of physical exercise can bring about health benefits similar to that of regular exercise. Our study aims to assess the effect of single acute bout of exercise on cognition, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers between athletes and non-athletes and to compare the effect of moderate and high intensity exercise on those parameters. Methods: The study is a double-arm parallel design randomized controlled study. Eighty healthy male volunteers (40 athletes and 40 non-athletes) were recruited and further randomized into four subgroups: Athlete moderate-intensity exercise, athlete high-intensity exercise, non-athlete moderate-intensity exercise and non-athlete high-intensity exercise. A single acute bout of treadmill exercise was given to all the subgroups. Cognitive parameters, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers were assessed before and after acute bout of exercise and compared between the groups. Results: At baseline, athletes had reduced oxidative stress and inflammation than non-athletes, which is evident by increased total anti-oxidant status and decreased leptin in athletes, whereas no significant changes in cognitive parameters between the groups. In addition, we found that moderate intensity exercise is superior to high intensity exercise in decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress in both the groups. However, no such changes were observed with respect to cognitive parameters with different intensities of exercise. Conclusion: A single acute bout of exercise is sufficient to improve oxidative and inflammatory parameters in both athletes and non-athletes, whereas cognitive functions does not improve by single acute bout of exercise.
