Is there any Relation Between Glucose in Urine with Music Listening During Travel?

Abstract

Music is used everywhere for entertainment purpose. It can be played at work, home, gym, restaurant, cafes and during travel. People listen to music even for hours. Recent technology of mobiles has made access to music easier than before. As now people can listen to music wherever they are going and these days individuals are spending more time and money on it [1]. Music listening while traveling is a popular activity which is increasing day by day. Approximately 90% of the transport has musical manifestation. It influences a person traveling in a stress condition. Soft music helps to get rid off from anxiety and feel relaxed. But hard rock or heavy metal music puts negative effect on one’s mood [2]. Renal damage of proximal tubules or hyperglycemia causes glucosuria. Normally, all the filtered glucose is reabsorbed by these proximal tubules. Diabetes mellitus and stress causes hyperglycemia. Glucose starts appearing in urine when ultrafiltrate concentration and blood concentration increase from the absorption level of proximal tubules. Detection of glucose is done by enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidase that is specified for glucose. Shelf life of reagent pads is limited. So sunlight protection should be given. If concentration of glucose is low and ascorbic acid is in high concentration in urine than ascorbic acid interferes with this test and false negative results are produced. Formaldehyde also produces false negative results. For false positive results, sample must be contaminated with hypochlorite, chlorine or hypochlorite [3]. Basic purpose of this study is finding any relationship between urine glucose and music listening during travel.
