The history of seizures is amalgamated with the history of human existence, the first reports on epilepsy can be traced back to the Assyrian texts almost 2000B.C[1] A seizure is an extreme rush of electrical activity in the brain that can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on which parts of the brain are involved. Juvenile Seizuresare a common disorder that can be triggered or motiveless which are called provoked and unprovoked seizures respectively. Seizures, that are triggered by fever in young children or by severe hypoglycemia, are not considered to be forms of epilepsy. Unprovoked seizures have no clear cause but can be related to genetics or brain injury. When a child has two or more unprovoked seizures repeatedly, then it can be established as Epilepsy. Seizures not only affect the health of a child but also affect the entire family and are associated with increased parental stress with a decrease in quality of life (2) Epilepsy that begins within the first year of life often signifies increased morbidity. Although some epilepsyaffecting children less than oneyear of age can have favorable prognoses, others result in medically obstinate seizures, developmental delay/intellectual debility, and other neurologic impediments (3)(4). A classical description of Seizure disorders is available in various Siddha literature.The book yugi chinthamani-800, written by the great sage YUGIMUNI elaborately deals with both physical and mental illness.He described and classified various types of neurosis and functional psychosis.

Water pollution greatly affects the life of aquatic ecosystem. Ethoxyquin (EQ) is one such toxic content, which is even present in the food being presented to the aquatic beings. In this research work, the effects of ethoxyquin on the Oreochromis mossambicus, called tilapia fish is studied. The aimed fish species is treated through the sublethal concentration of EQ. The effects of this toxic content on the aspects histopathological parameters were studied and the results were presented. Histopathological analysis was attempted on the gill, liver and brain of the tilapia fish taken up for the study. The histological abnormalities that were seen were curling of secondary lamella, which was followed by disorder and rupture in the secondary lamellae. These changes were more widespread and more apparent in the gills and liver of the Oreochromis mossambicus. A haemorrhage at the main lamellae and a swelling at the primary filament's tip were also seen during the examination. Analysis of the brain, inferred that no severe damages to the neurons are reported. As a conclusion, the results of the current histology examinations reveal that the EQ exposure caused moderate to severe damage to the gills and liver of the O. Mossambicus, whereas only moderate damage to the brain neurons.

Introduction- Alternate nostril breathing has positively affected the cardio-respiratory system. This review aimed to compile information on the effects of alternate nostril breathing on cardiorespiratory function. Method– Databases such as PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were systematically searched to review current evidence of randomized control trials (RCT) on alternate nostril breathing over the past two decades. Out of 89 articles, six were chosen for the final data extraction based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results- All of the final included studies demonstrated a significant improvement in respiratory endurance and functioning and a high heart rate variability (HRV) that mostly has a parasympathetic effect. Conclusion- Alternate nostril breathing shows promising results in reducing stress, improving cardiovascular and respiratory function, and reducing complications of pulmonary problems in the future.

Purpose: Although proteinuria has been established as an independent risk factor of diabetic nephropathy, the timely and accurate estimation of proteinuria has scope for improvement. Hence, this study intends to compare the accuracy of spot sampled urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) to 24 hour urine protein among diabetics in the quantification of proteinuria. Design/Methodology/Approach: This prospective study was conducted amongst 120 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Two types of urine samples namely spot samples and 24-hour samples were analysed across an array of clinical variables including urine biochemistry, kidney failure and glomerular filtration rate. UACR in spot samples was correlated with the 24-hour urine protein levels. The sensitivity, accuracy, specificity and predictive values of UACR for proteinuria were determined. A p

The loss of renal function occurs gradually in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which is associated with a high death rate. India is second only to China in the number of people living with DKD and it is expected that one million new cases arise in India each year. If diagnosed at an early stage, DKD may be effectively treated. DKD is more dangerous since it often has no early warning signs in its infancy. From a healthcare provider's standpoint, it is crucial to take preventative measures by using a machine-first model to foresee the beginning of DKD. The likelihood that a patient may acquire DKD can be estimated using their health records, and there are open source machine learning methods available to do this. The amount of clinical factors and the number of datasets used to train the algorithm both affect the prediction accuracy. A machine learning method and a booster algorithm were used in this work to increase the accuracy of DKD prediction. The strategy utilized in boosting algorithm produced more reliable outcomes than models used without boosting such as random tree, KNN and support vector machine.

India is second only to China in the number of people living with DKD and it is expected that one million new cases arise in India each year. If diagnosed at an early stage, DKD may be effectively treated. DKD is more dangerous since it often has no early warning signs in its infancy. From a healthcare provider's standpoint, it is crucial to take preventative measures by using a machine-first model to foresee the beginning of DKD. The likelihood that a patient may acquire DKD can be estimated using their health records, and there are open source machine learning methods available to do this. The amount of clinical factors and the number of datasets used to train the algorithm both affect the prediction accuracy. A machine learning method and a booster algorithm were used in this work to increase the accuracy of DKD prediction. The strategy utilized in boosting algorithm produced more reliable outcomes than models used without boosting such as random tree, KNN and support vector machine.","PeriodicalId":41726,"journal":{"name":"Cardiometry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43596135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
