Background and Objectives: Kapalbhati is among one of the cleansing act (shatkarma) in yogic philosophy. It is one of the popular Pranayama which has several benefits. It is highly recommended for those who have to do great deal of study and need a clean, clear mind. This study was conducted among nursing students at Janaki medical college, Janakpur, Nepal.Material and Methods: This analytical study was conducted among PCL Nursing students of Janaki Medical College, Janakpurdham, Nepal. Total 40 nursing student who gave consent and performed Kapalbhati correctly were included in the study. A detailed demographic profile with a structured questionnaire and observational checklist was filled for data collection. HR, SBP, DBP were the cardiac parameters taken. Those parameters were taken before, during, immediately after and after 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes and 5 minutes Pranayama. The data were entered in SPSS and Statistical analysis was done using version 20.Results: As in usual exercises, the HR, SBP and DBP increases significantly during Kapalbhati session but immediate post effect was surprisingly significantly fall in those parameters when compared with the value during exercises. The basal (pre-Kapalbhati) mean HR, SBP and DBP were 88.25 ± 9.02, 111.43 ± 11.28 and 73.9 ± 7.70 which increases upto 133.58 ± 35.70, 89.63 ± 23.31 and 118.55 ± 19.08 respectively during exercises and fall immediately after exercises value being 114.48 ± 21.94, 76.43 ± 15.34 and 88.6 ± 17.25 respectively.Conclusion: There is no significant difference between pre and post value of HR, SBP and DBP as in other study. There is significant rise between Pre-value and during-value of all parameters and significant fall of all parameters if compared between during-value and post-value.Janaki Medical College Journal of Medical Sciences (2015) Vol. 3 (2): 43-49

Background: Cardiac autonomic nerve dysfunction has been associated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with reduced Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Regular practice of slow breathing exercise (SBE) improves cardiac autonomic nerve function. Objective: To assess the effects of slow breathing exercise on cardiac autonomic nerve function by analysis of HRV in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Methods: This prospective interventional study was carried out in the Department of Physiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in 2015. For this, total 30 male diagnosed T2DM patients from the Out Patient Department of Endocrinology, BSMMU aged 45-55 years with diseases duration of 5-10 years were included in the study group. All the patients underwent slow breathing exercise (SBE -30 mins twice daily) for 3 months along with medical treatment. Mean heart rate (HR), mean R-R interval, standard deviation of the NN intervals (SDNN), Square root of mean squared differences of successive N-N intervals (RMSSD) of HRV parameters were recorded at the beginning of 3 months and also at the end of 3 months of study period. Thirty age, BMI matched healthy subject also included as control. For statistical analysis paired and unpaired sample t-test were done as applicable. Results: In this study, Pre-exercise value of mean HR was significantly higher (p< 0.001) and Pre-exercise values of mean R-R interval, SDNN and RMSSD were significantly lower (p< 0.001) in diabetic patients in comparison to control. After 3 months of performing SBE, post exercise values of all parameters were improved significantly (p< 0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that SBE has some beneficial effects on cardiac autonomic balance in T2DM patients.

Background and Objectives: Kapalbhati is among one of the cleansing act (shatkarma) in yogic philosophy. It is highly recommended for those who have to do great deal of study and need a clean, clear mind. This study was conducted among medical students at Nepalgunj medical college, Nepalgunj, Nepal.Material and Methods: This analytical study was conducted among 100 medical students of Nepalgunj Medical College, Nepalgunj, Nepal who gave consent and performed Kapalbhati correctly were included in the study. SBP and DBP were the cardiac parameters taken. Those parameters were taken before, immediately, after 1 minute, 2 minutes and 3 minutes of Pranayama. The data were entered in SPSS and Statistical analysis was done using version 23.Results: As in usual exercises, SBP and DBP increases significantly immediately after Kapalbhati session when compared with the value before exercises. The basal (pre-Kapalbhati) mean SBP and DBP were 125.76 ± 7.36 and 82.92 ± 5.75 which increases up to 143.60 ± 11.18 and 90.33 ± 7.90 respectively immediately after exercises and fall after 3 minutes of exercises value being 127.05 ± 10.93 and 81.38 ± 5.38 respectively.Conclusion: There is significant rise between Pre-value and post-value (immediate) of all parameters and significant fall of all parameters if compared between post-value and after 3 minute.
