Coronary artery disease (CAD)—the most common type of CVDs—is considered as a chronic condition and, therefore, requires a careful medical management with multiple recommendations for patients to achieve optimal secondary prevention. As a consequence, patient education is a necessary step to promote patient understanding of the recommended therapies and behavior changes required, as well as to follow. Counseling and education can help him quit smoking, eat right, lose weight, and lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Counseling may also help him learn to manage stress and to feel better about his health. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a comprehensive risk reduction program, of which patient education is considered a core component. Knowledge and understanding of home care management after myocardial infarction (MI) can be life saving. MI may occur as an isolated phenomenon or secondary to some causes. Creating awareness among the patients regarding CR minimizes the burden of disease and maximizes the survival rate. The nursing profession has an obligation to teach health practices that will help individuals to maintain good health. Hence it is the need of the hour to address this issue with an attitude of creating awareness to the patients who are in need of CR.</p><p><em><strong>Keywords:</strong></em> Cardiovascular diseases, coronary artery disease, behavior changes, counseling, cardiac rehabilitation</p><p><strong>Cite this Article</strong></p><p>Kaur H.

The hamstring muscles are important to control the human movement and are thus involved in activities such as running, jumping and a range of postural actions. The hamstring muscle tightness produces decreased range of motion and reduced flexibility of the pelvis, hip and knee joints. Muscle stiffness of the lower extremities and the subsequent decrease in joint flexibility are considered major etiological factors in musculoskeletal injuries.</em></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><em><strong>Objectives:</strong> The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of contract relax antagonist contraction technique and muscle energy techniques to improve hamstring flexibility in collegiate females.</em></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><em><strong>Methods:</strong> A total of 60 subjects were included in the study, with 30 assigned to one of the two groups. The outcome measure was the hamstring muscle tightness, assessed with the execution of the Active Knee Extension test at pretreatment and posttreatment sessions. Participants in Group A were treated with Contract Relax Antagonist Contraction techniques, and in Group B were treated with Muscle Energy Techniques for three treatment sessions per week for three weeks. Paired and unpaired t-tests were used for both within and between-group comparisons.</em></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><em><strong>Results: </strong>The results revealed that both the groups had improvements in hamstring flexibility from pre- to posttreatment sessions (p<0.05). However, Group B showed larger improvements than Group A in improving the hamstring flexibility.</em></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><em><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The Muscle Energy Techniques appear to be more effective in increasing hamstring flexibility as compared to Contract Relax Antagonist Contraction.</em></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Flexibility, Hamstring tightness, contract relax antagonist contraction, muscle energy technique, active knee extension test</em></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><div>Cite this Article</div><div>Gewali G, Bhattacharya U, Das L, et al.

The study emphasizes the positive physiological actions and benefits of cannabinoid compounds in Type II Diabetes. The pharmacological activities of cannabinoid compounds in Type II Diabetes have been studies only in limited human clinical trials that were often not conducted as evidence-based (i.e., following the established rules of probability and scientific methodology). In the United States, the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) continues to classify all natural cannabinoid compounds as “Schedule 1” drugs (i.e., dangerous illegal narcotics on par with heroin or LSD). As a result of this classification as illegal, many human clinical studies of Cannabis compounds in medical therapy have been thwarted and continue to face a dearth of funding for research grants and drug development by the pharmaceutical houses, universities, and industry. The future looks bright, though, for Cannabis as a medication source as many states (including all the U.S. western states) have decriminalized the drug in legislation popularly known as “medical marijuana” or “recreational marijuana”. Cannabis compounds and derivatives hold strong promise to add to the pharmacopeia of medicines employed in human healthcare that would expand alternatives of medical treatment modes.</em></span></span></div><div><em><br /></em></div><div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><em><strong>Keywords: </strong>CBD, Delta9-THC, Type II Diabetes, anti-inflammatory activity, psychogenic effects</em></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><div>Cite this Article</div><div>Flaer P.

NVEs are increasingly receiving consideration from business and research point of view. Contrasted with various sorts of possible applications, NVEs require a high responsiveness to ensure continuous streaming of live data for full immersion. As virtual reality has gained wide attention in therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which on a quantitative scales accounts for 20% of veterans returning from the war. Here, soldiers suffers from traumatic and extreme experience of violence where there attention and vigilance is constantly to to deal with unpredictable threats and an unprecedented number of loss of fellow soldiers. The idea here is to avail psychotherapy to the soldiers in multiple concurrent sessions with their fellow soldiers to cope up with the experience. It is as yet difficult to develop such applications since it require to create virtual reality framework over distributed databases; as every user needs locally adequate data flow to concurrently construct a scene as with other users and able to accommodate multi-user interactions in the virtual environment. Such information requires simultaneous computation and communication of streaming data. In this study we built up a prototype of a NVE in view of the blend of Minority Game (MG) and Online Induction Algorithm (OIA) with lossless transfer functions and perform a series of concurrent PTSD psychotherapy over multiple PTSD subjects.</span></em></p> <p class="Abstract" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></em></p> <p class="Abstract" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><strong>Keywords:</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong> </strong>PTSD psychotherapy, networked virtual environments, online learning, data stream control, adaptive networking</span></em></p><p class="Abstract" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"> </p><p class="papersubtitle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="Abstract" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"> </p><p class="papersubtitle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Ankush Rai.

Squeal of severe NTDs lead to lifelong physical, social, emotional and financial difficulties. Annually worldwide an estimated 300,000 or more babies are born with NTDs. Fortunately; a large number of NTDs are preventable. Several studies have shown that periconceptional use of Folic Acid (FA) has an effective role in the prevention of NTDs. The objective of our study was to assess awareness and practice of FA intake for prevention of NTDs. This cross-sectional study was done on pregnant women who seeking for antenatal care at Rajamalwatta antenatal clinic, Mattakuliya from 2012 August to 2013 December. A well validated questionnaire was administered to the subjects. Out of 261 women served; 81.22% heard about FA, but only 16.98% knew that FA prevent the NTDs. Knowledge was significantly associated with higher socio-economic status and higher education (p<0.005). A higher education level was correlated with the knowledge of FA benefits and correct time of FA in intake. Out of 44.81% of the total women took folic acid during pregnancy but 17.92% aware about folic acid intake during preconceptional is important. The most information sources on folate were healthcare workers (76.41%) and media is second most sources (15.09%). In conclusion, knowledge and practice about the benefits of this vitamin is inadequate, so healthcare plan to increase the knowledge and practice of folic acid by women is required.</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></strong></p><p> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords:</span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> Folic acids, Neural tube defects, Preconception</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt;">Farzana MUZN, Yasir Khan M, Fahamiya N </span><em style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt;">et al.</em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt;"> Awareness and Practice of Folic Acid Intake for Neural Tube Defect Prevention at Antenatal Clinic in Rajamalwatta, Sri Lanka. </span><em style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt;">Research & Reviews: Journal of Neuroscience</em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt;">. 2017; 7(1): 17–21p.</span><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p>2017-05-18T23:55:03+00:00Copyright (c) https://stmjournals.com/index.php?journal=RRJoNS&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=8371Cannabidiol (CBD): An Innovative Pharmacological Treatment For Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)2017-05-26T02:30:17+00:00Paul J.

The OCD patient often fears that the anxiety will not abate and obsessional thoughts will control her/his mind or body in advocating or carrying out unwanted compulsive behaviors. Such thinking patterns or behaviors may often be frightening but usually they are quite harmless except when promoting accompanying anxiogenic activity. Confused thinking may be severe enough to cause functional impairments when obsessions or compulsions dominate mental status.<span style="color: red;"> </span>In OCD, disrupted<span style="color: red;"> </span>thoughts and actions may dominate the normal conduct of everyday tasks. Anxiety caused by obsessive thoughts is usually relieved by time-consuming and significant effort-requiring compulsive behaviors. Compulsive activities like diversionary counting, checking behavior (e.g., like repeatedly checking whether the stove is on or off), or excessive cleaning activity dominate the response to obsessive thoughts. Excessive hand washing (sometimes called the Pontius Pilot Syndrome) occurring as a compulsive behavior, not only relieves the causal obsession but serves as a “refresh button” (i.e., like that found on a computer)--clearing the mind of obsessions, compulsive urges, and extraneous thoughts. The major extracts of the Cannabis sativa plant are primarily delta9-THC (causing intoxication, psychosis, often anxiety) and secondarily the non-psychotomimetic compound Cannabidiol (CBD). Studies have found multiple therapeutic actions in the uses of CBD—with anxiolytic activities (i.e., opposing the anxiogenic actions of delta9-THC), anti-psychotic activities, and lessening of the compulsions that occur with OCD and other psychiatric conditions.</span></em></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><em> </em></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><em>Keywords: </em></span></strong><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;"><em>Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Cannabidiol (CBD), “Anxiety-Related” Disorders</em></span></p>2017-05-18T23:43:47+00:00Copyright (c) https://stmjournals.com/index.php?journal=RRJoNS&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=8346Managing Diabetes in The Hospital Setting: A Nurse–Patient Partnership2017-05-26T02:30:17+00:00Harvinder Kaurrmlharvinder.kaur@gmail.com<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-IN">People with diabetes occupy up to 16% of hospital beds, and diabetes treatment consumes approximately 9% of hospital costs. Therefore, the nurses working in any hospital department will care for people with diabetes who have been admitted either for reasons directly connected to their diabetes or unrelated to it. Once diagnosed, diabetes is an inextricable part of a person’s life and must be taken into consideration along with their presenting condition. This is because diabetes control can be adversely affected by illness, stress and changes in food intake and activity level. Also, healing processes and well-being are promoted by normal blood glucose levels. Whatever the circumstances of a patient’s admission or attendance, the pursuit and maintenance of good diabetes control must always be a treatment goal. People with diabetes are admitted more frequently and stay in hospital for longer than those without. Extended hospital stays are often due to the fact that their diabetes is not attended to because it was not the original reason for admission. Practical aspects of care can also delay discharge - for example, if a change in diabetes treatment is not reflected in medications the person is given to take home, causing last-minute delays. Discharge planning needs to include diabetes-related issues.</span></em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-IN"></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-IN"> </span></em></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-IN">Keywords:</span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-IN"> Diabetes, illness, stress, healing processes, neuropathy</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-IN">Cite this Article</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN">Harvinder Kaur<em>.</em> </span><span lang="EN-IN">Managing Diabetes in The Hospital</span><span lang="EN-IN"> </span><span lang="EN-IN">Setting: A Nurse–Patient Partnership. </span><em><span lang="EN-IN">Research & Reviews: Journal of Neuroscience. </span></em><span lang="EN-IN">2017; 7(1): 6–11p.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>2017-05-18T23:27:30+00:00Copyright (c) https://stmjournals.com/index.php?journal=RRJoNS&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=8226CBD—“Wonder Drug†Of The Future2017-05-26T02:30:17+00:00Paul J.

Aspirin, as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is a preventative drug as well as a therapeutic one. The Framingham heart study has concluded that a low dose aspirin regimen (81 mg/day) will help prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke. On the other hand, CBD (cannabidiol) may be designated the “wonder drug” of the future! CBD, a major extract of most strains of cannabis has a broad-spectrum of pharmacological properties including anxiolytic, anticompulsive, antipsychotic, neuroprotective, analgesic, anti-emetic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, anti-neoplastic, and the lowering of intraocular pressure. CBD has potential applications in medical therapy for diverse conditions including anxiety-related disorders, psychogenic disorders, glaucoma, epilepsy, migraine headaches, Crohn’s disease, cancer chemotherapy, and HIV/AIDS. CBD is non-toxic and safe to most body systems whereas even moderate doses of aspirin can be ulcerative to the stomach and toxic to the kidneys.</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> </span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Cannabidiol, CBD, cannabis, aspirin, anxiety disorders, OCD, aspirin</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Flaer Paul J.

Those with OCD find themselves genetically endowed with traits that will help them succeed in life-- creativity, a sense of detail/symmetry, tenacious motivation, and a propensity for achievement in the arts, writing, and education. Without one major caveat though, OCD would be a strong quality for general success--the life of one with OCD may be overly complex and mentally tortuous. In this condition, 24/7, the patient with OCD is in an almost constant battle with frustrating obsessive thoughts (bringing on anxiety, guilt, or depressive moods).The other side of the OCD coin is dealing with not only the onerous obsessions themselves but the actions of subsequent behavioral compulsions. Obsessive thoughts bring on compulsive activities in the form of hand washing, counting for distraction, and/or checking behaviors (e.g., repeatedly checking the door locks or seeing if anyone left the stove burner on). Cannabis/marijuana contains high concentrations of two primary substances: delta 9-THC and CBD. Delta 9-THC is responsible for the intoxication and euphoria usually associated with marijuana. On the contrary, cannabidiol (CBD), making up to 40% of the contents of some strains of marijuana, acts as a virtual antagonist to delta 9-THC. Furthermore, CBD is not intoxicating and therapeutically suppresses compulsive activity in OCD. The pharmacological actions of CBD may bring about OCD remission or lives with a less debilitating form of the<span style="letter-spacing: -.4pt;"> </span>disorder.</span></em></p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, marijuana, cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD), delta 9-THC</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Flaer P, AlRubaie M.<em> </em>Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Marijuana. <em>Research and Reviews: Journal of Neuroscience. </em>2016; 6(3): 31–35p.</span></p>2016-12-11T22:45:06+00:00Copyright (c) https://stmjournals.com/index.php?journal=RRJoNS&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=7817Non-compliance to Antiepileptic Drugs in Tertiary Hospital: Factors and Outcomes2016-12-11T22:49:31+00:00Latika Bajajlatikabajaj86@gmail.comAnkita Sandallatikabajaj86@gmail.comNeha Kumarilatikabajaj86@gmail.comSudarshana .latikabajaj86@gmail.comSaraswati .latikabajaj86@gmail.comSanjeev Shahlatikabajaj86@gmail.comSandhya Ghailatikabajaj86@gmail.comManish Modilatikabajaj86@gmail.com<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;" lang="EN-IN">Background</span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" lang="EN-IN">:</span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" lang="EN-IN"> Epilepsy is a neurological disease characterized by epileptic seizures.

A study was conducted to evaluate the quality of life and economical burden of brain tumor caregivers. 50 caregivers of patients who were diagnosed with brain tumor in Neurosurgical department of PGIMER, Hospital Chandigarh participated in the study. Data were collected by using a demographical proforma and quality of life Index - Cancer scale (CQOLC) was used to assess the quality of life of caregivers of brain tumor and to measure the financial burden of caring for an cancer patient, the financial cost dimension of the Cost of Care Index was used. It was determined that the majority of caregivers were young and male. Almost all the participants had life quality of life lower than normal with mean of 88.9±10.6. 30% of the family caregivers agreed that caregiving for the care receiver was causing them to dip into savings. Again, 15% of the family caregivers indicated that they and their families could not afford those little extras because of the expenses to care for the care receiver. Over a one third (35%) indicated that their family or they had to give up necessities because of the expense to provide care. Another 20% of the caregivers indicated that caring for the care receiver was too expensive.</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;

examine the variation in the EEG signal recorded from a group of individual, who were subjected under the effect of alcoholism while comparing them to non-alcoholic or controlled state. For the purpose, EEG from individuals was processed while subjects were perceiving visual picture stimulus from Snodgrass and Vanderwart picture set. A total of 10 trials for each subject have been considered in matched/non-matched condition of picture stimuli. Interestingly, the frontal lobe of the brain has been found to be responsible for instantaneous response against visual stimulus, for the sake of the same, two electrode positions namely Fp1 and Fp2 have been considered for the study. Entropy analyses such as approximate entropy and spectral entropy have been extracted to understand the underlying responses of randomness of the signal due to instantaneous responses from alcoholic/non-alcoholic subjects. Results obtained after proper signal conditioning and feature extraction have shown promising evidences in recorded responses of alcoholics whose values significantly decrease from that of non-alcoholic/control person. Hence, it may be inferred that entropy study may be used for discrimination of subjects under the effect of alcoholism or any other internal/external environmental changes.</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Approximate entropy, EEG, ERP, spectral entropy, visual stimulus</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Materpal Jakhar, Puneet Mishra, Sunil Singla.

The aim of this case report was to determine the effectiveness of DN for the release of trigger points in a patient with acute PS. The case was a 27 year old male presented with a history of left buttock pain since 10 days. The patient received one session of DN along with cold pack and mild stretching of piriformis muscle. Outcome measures such as pain, was measured by visual analog scale (VAS) and hip abduction as well as internal rotation was measured by universal goniometer. All the measurements were performed before the session, immediately and 15 min after the end of DN and other treatment. Results revealed an immediate improvement in VAS scores and hip abduction and internal rotation ROM. The present case study concluded that single session of DN along with mild stretching and cold pack is effective in releasing myofascial trigger point in acute PS patient.</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> </span></em></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Keyword<span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">s: </span></span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Intramuscular manual therapy, buttock pain, low back pain, neuropathy</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Manisha Uttam, Harshita Yadav.

One of the many reason is social stigma attached with psychiatric hospital and other thing is non availability of psychiatric hospitals in small town. The solution for this problem is integration of mental health care in to primary health care. </span> Benefits are significant. On one hand, integration ensures that the population as a whole has access to the mental healthcare that they need early in the course of disorders without disruption. On the other hand, when people receive treatment in primary healthcare facilities the likelihood of better health outcomes, and even full recovery, as well as maintained social integration is increased.

The co-occurring disorders (i.e., BPII, DIAII, and OCD) are accentuated, most often by the metabolic imbalances of (Diabetes Type-II) DIAII and sometimes by the psychiatric condition of (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) OCD. Increased morbidity and mortality ofthe co-occurring disorders dominates the chronic course of BPII. Mortality rates from all medical etiologies are augmented by the presence of BPII with DIAII especially from cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, and lipid disorders. Recent evidence has revealed changes in brain structure are associated with psychiatric disorders comorbid with DIAII. As the result of the association of changes in brain structure and systemic metabolism, BPII, OCD, and DIAII may be characterized as biological disorders.</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords:</span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> Diabetes, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, morbidity, mortality</span></em></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">P.

They were divided into two groups conveniently as Group A (MWM) and Group B (SM) with 25 subjects in each group. Hot pack and pendulum exercise were given for both the groups. Pre and post treatment measurements were taken on Day 0 and Day 21 by using SPADI pain subscale(%) for measuring pain and gleno-humeral active flexion and external rotation range of motion by a standard goniometer for both group A and group B subjects. The data were recorded and statistically analyzed using PASW version 21.0. An alpha level of 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance. <strong>Results: </strong>The SPADI pain subscale score (%) and GH-AROM across pre-intervention and post-intervention showed a significant improvement statistically in their mean scores within Group A and Group B (p= 0.000). Statistically significant greater change in score were found in MWM (Group A) for AROM (Flexion and ER) and SPADI pain score (%) as compared to SM (Group B) [p value= 0.000].<strong> Conclusion: </strong>This study shows that MWM and SM both are effective in reducing pain and improving flexion and external rotation range of motion in adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. But when compare both the techniques MWM is more effective than SM in 3 weeks. </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Adhesive capsulitis, mobilization with movement, scapular mobilization, SPADI, AROM, hot packs, pendulum exercise, goniometer</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Bhatri Pratim Dowarah, Lipika Boruah.<em> </em>A Comparative Study to See The Effect of Mobilization with Movement and Scapular Mobilization to Reduce Pain and to Improve Gleno-Humeral Range of Motion in Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder. <em>Research & Reviews: Journal of Neuroscience.</em> 2016; 6(2): 11–18p.</span></p>2016-09-15T04:22:51+00:00Copyright (c) https://stmjournals.com/index.php?journal=RRJoNS&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=7511Level of Adherence to Hypertension Treatment Using Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, Mekelle, Ethiopia2016-09-17T02:02:37+00:00Fiseha Girmafiseha1999@yahoo.comSolomon Emishawfiseha1999@yahoo.comKahsu G/Kirstosfiseha1999@yahoo.comAmlaku Mulatfiseha1999@yahoo.com<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mm Hg and a diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mmHg over a sustained period, based on the average of two or more blood pressure measurements taken in two or more contacts with the health care provider after initial screening. Hypertension treatment is many sided, requiring enduring adherence for anti-hypertension medications and lifestyle instructions as well.
