A Survey Predicting the Influence of Age, Gender and Anthropometric Measures on Blood Pressure in Bengalee Subjects in West Bengal, India Munmun Koley1*, Subhranil Saha1, Jogendra Singh Arya1, Gurudev Choubey1, Shubhamoy Ghosh2, Monojit Kundu2 1

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) rates hypertension as one of the most important causes of premature death worldwide. It is estimated that by 2020, cardiovascular diseases will be the largest cause of mortality and morbidity in India. Recent studies identified waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), waist hip ratio (WHR), and waist height ratio (WHtR) as the risk factors associated with hypertension. This study intended to verify the influence of age, sex, and anthropometric measures on blood pressure in Bengalee adults. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 405 adult Bengalee patients of out-patients of Mahesh Bhattacharyya Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Howrah in May, 2013. Male participants had significantly higher (p < 0.05) weight, height, WC, BMI, systolic, and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP) than female participants. Binary logistic regression was performed to test associations and differences. p < 0.05 two-tailed were taken as statistically significant. Age (B = 0.036–0.087, SE = 0.016–0.027, P = 0.000–0.016), WC (B = 0.024–0.043, SE = 0.013–0.015, P = 0.001–0.051), and WHtR (B = 0.027–0.035, SE = 0.012–0.014, P = 0.004–0.014) had statistically significant influence on SBP. DBP was significantly influenced by age (B = 0.057–0.101, SE = 0.027–0.031, P = 0.000–0.024), weight (B = 0.055–0.097, SE = 0.022–0.046, P = 0.000–0.026), BMI (B = 0.063–0.069, SE = 0.019–0.028, P = 0.000–0.009), WC (B = 0.082, SE = 0.028, P = 0.001), and WHtR (B = 0.046–0.089, SE = 0.022–0.029, P = 0.000–0.031). Among the factors influencing BP, obesity control should be an important priority in both sexes in Bengalee subjects. Further multi-centric longitudinal study on larger population is worth investigating to strengthen the study findings.

Association of Disability and QOL in Physiotherapists Suffering from WRMSDs in Delhi and NCR Kaushik Ch., Warikoo D., Patra P., Mathur M. K.* MPT (Musculoskeletal Disorders) Dolphine (PG) Institute of Biomedical and Natural Sciences, Dehradun, Uttrakhand, India Abstract Association of Disability and QOL in Physiotherapists Suffering from WRMSDs in Delhi and NCR. A survey study. All the subjects included were from various private hospitals and private clinics in Delhi and NCR. A total of 100 subjects were recruited for the study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria after signing the informed consent form. The data regarding their musculoskeletal pain, disability and quality of life was taken as per the questionnaires. Nordic musculoskeletal symptoms questionnaire, WHOQOLBREF, disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire, Oswestry disability index and neck pain disability index questionnaire. Physiotherapists in Delhi and NCR reported 80% of incidence in disability level. Among the respondents LBA was found to have more prevalence (21.43%) of disability level. The results prove that QOl in subjects with LBA was more affected followed by neck PAIN and shoulder, arm and hand. The present study demonstrates that the prevalence of disability level among physiotherapists in Delhi and NCR was found to be very high. Low back and neck had moderate disability level while shoulder, arm and hand showed mild disability level. This study also revealed that the QOl was well affected in physiotherapists suffering from work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract The nutritional status, life style behavior, knowledge of hygiene, and food intake patterns of 225 school going adolescent girls studying in class seven to ten were assessed by a cross-sectional study in different rural schools of Thakurgaon Upazila during January to June 2013. About 42.2% of the respondents had seven to eight members in their family but only 23.6% of their monthly family income was higher than 9000 tk. The economic hardship is extensive in this rural area and most of the people are agriculture-dependent. The prevalence of malnutrition among the respondents was high and 6.6, 17.6, and 51.5% of them were suffering from CED3, CED2, and CED1, respectively. However, 17.6% of them were normal and 2.6% were overweight. Ninety seven percent of the household had family latrine but only 12.9% families had sanitary latrine/pacca latrine. Above 85% of the respondents did not have proper knowledge on nutrition. About 94.2% of the respondents did not have knowledge on balanced diet and only 12% of the respondents took nutritious foods during adolescence period and 88.5% respondents did not have proper knowledge on food misconception. A significant correlation ship (p = 0.013) was observed between respondent monthly family income and nutritional status (BMI) and the partial correlation coefficient was r = 0.158. If other things remained constant or controlled, the nutritional status (BMI) of the respondent was increased with increase in the monthly income. Food intake pattern of the respondents was monotonous and the sources of animal food such as meat, fish, and milk were very limited.

Vanishing Twin Syndrome Akoijam Mamata Devi* Department of Nursing, Lingayaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute of Health Sciences (Nursing), Faridabad, Haryana, India Abstract Vanishing Twin Syndrome occurs when one of a set of twin foetuses apparently disappears from the womb during pregnancy, usually resulting in a normal singleton pregnancy. The incidence is women aged over 30 year and multiple pregnancies. Causes was unknown, the problems will usually begin early in the first trimester. The occurrence of this phenomenon is sometimes referred to as twin embolization syndrome or vanishing twin syndrome (VTS). The twin pregnancies were made visible early on by means of ultrasound. Occasionally, rather than being completely reabsorbed, the dead fetus will be compressed by its growing twin to a flattened, parchment-like state known as fetus papyraceus. There is no specific treatment. If the other twin continues to mature and develop towards maturity, there is no management for the twin which has died. If it becomes clear that both twins are no longer viable and no heartbeats can be seen, then a dilatation and curette of your uterus may become necessary.

Keywords: Twin Syndrome, fetus, pregnancy
