Background

Vegetarianism versus non-vegetarianism is a perfect example of an opposing view of a healthy diet. Vegetarians consume plant-based foods whereas non-vegetarians consume animal-based foods.

Aims and objectives

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the impact of vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets on different health outcomes such as anthropometric measurements, sleep quality, and mindfulness in male individuals of ages 16–25 years.

Materials and methods

Sixty subjects were recruited from two different hostels. The total subjects were divided into two groups i.e., vegetarian group (n = 30) was fed a vegetarian diet and non-vegetarian group (n = 30) was fed a non-vegetarian diet for 3 months. The subjects were assessed for anthropometry, PSQI scoring, and mindfulness at baseline and after three months.

Results

On comparison of variables between the two groups, a significant difference has been observed. In the comparison of anthropometric data, there was a significant difference in BMI (p < 0.001) between the groups. PSQI scores showed a significant difference between the groups with mean global scores: group 1: 3.03 ± 2.5; group 2: 5.14 ± 2.23. Mindful eating among vegetarians was significant (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

A vegetarian diet had a positive impact on health outcomes compared to a non-vegetarian diet.

背景素食主义与非素食主义是健康饮食对立观点的一个完美例子。素食者食用植物性食物，而非素食者食用动物性食物。目的和目的本研究旨在评估和比较素食和非素食对16-25岁男性不同健康结果的影响，如人体测量、睡眠质量和正念。材料和方法从两个不同的宿舍招募了16名受试者。受试者被分为两组，即素食组（n=30）接受素食喂养，非素食组（n=30）接受非素食喂养3个月。受试者在基线和三个月后进行了人体测量、PSQI评分和正念评估。结果两组间变量比较有显著性差异。在人体测量数据的比较中，两组之间的BMI存在显著差异（p＜0.001）。PSQI评分在总体平均评分组之间存在显著差异：第1组：3.03±2.5；第2组：5.14±2.23。素食者的正念饮食显著（p＜0.001）。结论与非素食相比，素食对健康结果有积极影响。

Background

There are various non-pharmacological ways to reduce anxiety, one of which is Mandala. The mandala can be considered as a tool that helps the patients to focus on themselves with the aim of getting back their normal internal balance.

Aim

The study aimed to determine the effect of mandala on anxiety of 9–14 year old children with cancer.

Materials and methods

This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 40 children with cancer who had mild-to-moderate anxiety, through a pre-test before the intervention started and a posttest after the intervention ended. Three weeks later, it was repeated on a single group of participant’s time series design from January to June 2019. Data were collected using the "Personal Attributes" and "Spielberger Trait Anxiety Questionnaire". Mandala was done daily for 45 min in six sessions, for children in their rooms. The data were analyzed by SPSS-25, and the repeated measures ANOVA statistical test was used in order to compare the levels of anxiety in time series.

Results

The mean age was 11.2 ± 1.79, and the mean age of diagnosis was 9.8 ± 2.2. The mean score of anxiety level in the children with cancer was (84.20 ± 10.26), (57.52 ± 15.65), and (56.62 ± 16.52) before the intervention, after the intervention, and one month after intervention, respectively. There was a statistically significant relationship between the mean scores of time series (P-value < 0.001).

Conclusion

Conducting the mandala sessions reduced the anxiety of children with cancer after the intervention and one month later. Mandala painting is therefore recommended as a complementary non-pharmacological treatment to reduce pediatric anxiety.

背景减少焦虑的非药物方法多种多样，曼陀罗就是其中之一。曼陀罗可以被认为是一种帮助患者专注于自己的工具，目的是恢复正常的内部平衡。目的研究曼陀罗对癌症9-14岁儿童焦虑的影响。材料与方法对40例轻度至中度焦虑的癌症儿童进行了准实验研究，在干预开始前进行了前测，在干预结束后进行了后测。三周后，从2019年1月到6月，在一组参与者的时间序列设计中重复了这一点。使用“个人特质”和“Spielberger特质焦虑问卷”收集数据。曼陀罗每天进行45分钟，分六次，供孩子们在房间里练习。数据采用SPSS-25进行分析，并采用重复测量方差分析统计检验，以比较时间序列中的焦虑水平。结果平均年龄11.2±1.79岁，平均诊断年龄9.8±2.2岁。癌症患儿干预前、干预后和干预后1个月焦虑水平平均分分别为（84.20±10.26）、（57.52±15.65）和（56.62±16.52）。时间序列的平均分数（P值<；0.001）之间存在显著的统计学关系。因此，建议将曼陀罗绘画作为一种补充性的非药物治疗方法，以减少儿童焦虑。

Introduction

In recent years, complementary and alternative medicine therapies have been increasingly studied for their effectiveness, and there are more and more studies supporting the use of some practices in the psychiatric setting. Despite the high acceptability and interest of patients using a holistic approach to recover from mental health issues, complementary and alternative medicine therapies are not yet integrated in the conventional treatment. This study investigates the potential of an integrative psychiatry approach compared to treatment as usual in a heterogeneous inpatient population.

Methods

INTEGRAL is an observational study comparing two psychiatric hospitals. In total 240 inpatients with a diagnosis of a mental disorder (substance use, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and somatoform disorder) will be included. One hospital offers standard therapy, the other one has established an integrative medicine approach combining conventional treatment with CAM. The integrative approach provides a non-standardized complex patient-centered mental health care. Outcomes will be assessed at three time points and focus on the following three frameworks: severity of disease, personal recovery and trans-diagnostic phenomena.

Discussion

To our knowledge and research, this study is the first prospective observational study comparing psychiatric routine care and integrative psychiatry and will give us a glimpse of the effects on severity of disorders, trans-diagnostic symptoms and recovery in different psychiatric inpatient populations in the short and long term. The study may help to optimize the treatment of patients suffering from severe mental illness in providing a patient-centered approach with a diversity of evidence-based practices.

引言近年来，人们越来越多地研究补充和替代药物疗法的有效性，越来越多的研究支持在精神病环境中使用一些实践。尽管患者对使用整体方法从心理健康问题中恢复具有很高的可接受性和兴趣，但补充和替代药物疗法尚未纳入传统治疗。这项研究调查了在异质住院人群中，与常规治疗相比，综合精神病学方法的潜力。方法INTEGRAL是一项比较两所精神病院的观察性研究。总共240名被诊断为精神障碍（药物使用、精神分裂症、抑郁症、焦虑症、创伤后应激和躯体形式障碍）的住院患者将被纳入其中。一家医院提供标准治疗，另一家医院建立了传统治疗与CAM相结合的综合医学方法。综合方法提供了一种非标准化的复杂的以患者为中心的心理健康护理。结果将在三个时间点进行评估，重点关注以下三个框架：疾病严重程度、个人康复和跨诊断现象。讨论据我们所知和研究，这项研究是第一项比较精神病常规护理和综合精神病学的前瞻性观察性研究，将使我们在短期和长期内了解不同精神病住院人群对疾病严重程度、跨诊断症状和康复的影响。这项研究可能有助于优化严重精神疾病患者的治疗，提供一种以患者为中心的方法和多种循证实践。

Background

Individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) confront serious lifestyle alterations that include an absolute daily requirement for exogenous insulin, monitoring their glucose control, and paying attention to dietary intake. Yoga is an ancient mind-body practice increasingly recognized to have health benefits in various clinical and non-clinical conditions. The current trial was intended to evaluate the efficacy of yoga therapy on glycemic variability and physical activity among patients with T1DM.

Methods

This is a single-centre, parallel-group prospective, randomized, open-blind end-point trial to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga therapy as an adjunct to T1DM care. 88 Patients aged between 12 and 17 years will be recruited from a charitable hospital for patients with T1DM and randomly allocated either to the intervention or control arm with an allocation ratio of 1:1. The control group will continue the standard care provided by the treating physicians, and the yoga group will be administered an additional Yoga module for three months. The monitoring of glycemic fluctuation will be assessed by the continuous glucose monitor, HbA1c, C-peptide, Insulin dose, lipid profile, and using psychological questionnaires such as Peds QL 3.0 Type-1 Diabetes Module, Peds QL 4.0 Generic Core Sale, Hypoglycemic fear survey, Kutcher Adolescent depression scale, Type 1 Diabetes stress scale, Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents, will be done at baseline and three months.

Discussion

The study is intended to address the physical and other risk factors among patients with T1DM. The study is prospectively registered on the India Clinical Trial Registry.

Background

Obesity and estrogen deprivation are significant risk factors for dementia. Dietary intervention, a cornerstone of obesity management, has shown promising effects on improving cognitive function in obese individuals. A growing body of evidence has revealed that physical activity, particularly the combined physical-cognitive exercise, has beneficial effects on cognition, metabolic and cardiovascular profiles of adults with metabolic syndrome and postmenopausal women. Given the positive effects of both dietary and exercise interventions on cognition, it is posited that the combined intervention would provide greater benefits than each intervention alone. Therefore, the present randomized clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate the effects of combined physical-cognitive and dietary intervention on both cognitive function and circulating biomarkers of postmenopausal women with obesity.

Methods

A four-arm randomized controlled trial with blinded assessor will be conducted. Ninety-two participants with postmenopausal obese women will be randomly divided into one of four groups: dietary intervention group, physical-cognitive intervention group, physical-cognitive and dietary intervention group, or control group. Participants in the three intervention groups will receive a 12-week home-based program, while those in the control group will maintain and continue their caloric intake and usual activities. The main outcomes will be executive functions, episodic memory, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) level. All outcomes will be assessed at pre-and post-12-week intervention.

Discussion

Research evidence has established the benefits of physical-cognitive training and dietary intervention on cognition. It is expected that the combined physical-cognitive and dietary intervention may further exhibit synergistic effects on cognition beyond the results of either physical-cognitive or dietary intervention alone.

Trial registration

This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04768725).

背景肥胖和雌激素缺乏是痴呆症的重要危险因素。饮食干预是肥胖管理的基石，在改善肥胖者的认知功能方面显示出了良好的效果。越来越多的证据表明，体育活动，特别是身体-认知联合锻炼，对患有代谢综合征的成年人和绝经后妇女的认知、代谢和心血管状况有有益影响。鉴于饮食和运动干预对认知的积极影响，人们认为联合干预比单独干预更有益。因此，本随机临床试验将评估身体认知和饮食联合干预对绝经后肥胖妇女认知功能和循环生物标志物的影响。方法采用盲法进行四组随机对照试验。92名绝经后肥胖女性参与者将被随机分为四组之一：饮食干预组、物理认知干预组、身体认知和饮食干预组或对照组。三个干预组的参与者将接受为期12周的家庭计划，而对照组的参与者则将保持并继续他们的热量摄入和日常活动。主要结果将是执行功能、情景记忆和脑源性神经营养因子（BDNF）水平。所有结果将在12周前和12周后的干预中进行评估。讨论研究证据已经证实了身体认知训练和饮食干预对认知的益处。预计，除了单独的物理认知或饮食干预的结果之外，物理认知和饮食联合干预可能会进一步对认知表现出协同效应。试验注册本研究已在ClinicalTrials.gov（NCT04768725）上注册。

Objectives

Music therapy can ease a neonate's distress and may provide physiological improvements during hospitalization. In this study, we investigated physiological effects of music therapy on patients in a neonatal intensive care (NICU) population.

Methods

Music therapists performed culturally significant interventions in concordance with AMTA guidelines. To quantitatively assess physiological changes from these sessions, we measured patient distress along with cardiovascular monitor measurements before and after a standard music therapy session in 106 non-intubated neonates without sedation in a Level 3 NICU.

Results

51.7% of subjects were male, while 48.3% of patients were female. 46.2% of the neonates were Caucasian. 37.7% were Hispanic/Latino. 16.0% had other ethnic backgrounds. On average, patients demonstrated a 12 beats/min reduction in heart rate and a 3.9% increase in Oxygen Saturation (p < 0.05) after the conclusion of a session. A salient finding from this analysis was blood oxygen saturation improvement that was greater in females (6%) than males. Additionally, 81.3% of neonates experienced greater improvement when starting a music therapy intervention within the first five days of hospitalization.

Conclusion

Our research suggests that as little as fifteen minutes of music therapy, patients experienced a significant decrease in distress, heat rate, and an increase in oxygen saturation levels. These physiological changes imply an overall improved patient experience after a music therapy session.

目的音乐治疗可以缓解新生儿的痛苦，并可能在住院期间改善其生理状况。在这项研究中，我们调查了音乐治疗对新生儿重症监护（NICU）人群患者的生理影响。方法音乐治疗师根据AMTA指南进行具有文化意义的干预。为了定量评估这些疗程的生理变化，我们在3级新生儿重症监护室对106名未插管且未镇静的新生儿进行了标准音乐治疗前后的患者痛苦和心血管监测仪测量。结果男性占51.7%，女性占48.3%。46.2%的新生儿为高加索人。37.7%为西班牙裔/拉丁裔。16.0%的人有其他种族背景。平均而言，患者在疗程结束后心率降低12次/分，血氧饱和度增加3.9%（p＜0.05）。该分析的一个显著发现是，女性（6%）的血氧饱和度改善程度高于男性。此外，81.3%的新生儿在住院的前五天内开始音乐治疗干预时有更大的改善。结论我们的研究表明，只要进行15分钟的音乐治疗，患者的痛苦、心率和血氧饱和度就会显著降低。这些生理变化意味着音乐治疗后患者体验的整体改善。

Objective

This aim of the study was to explore the effectiveness of an online trauma-informed yoga programme to increase positive mental health and reduce stress in the general population.

Design

This was a mixed-methods prospective intervention study with an active trauma informed yoga group and a wait-listed control group.

Methods

Thirty participants were recruited from an organisation based in the United Kingdom.The active intervention was a once weekly pre-recorded TIY video class (approximately one-hour) for 10 weeks. The control group were wait-listed. The primary outcome was a comparison between the active and control groups postintervention on the positive mental health scale. Secondary outcomes were the difference between groups over various related scales. ANCOVA was used in the analysis to respectively control for baseline levels of the outcomes.

Results

A non-significant increase in PMH (b = 2.44, p = 0.16), mindfulness (b = 6.35, p = 0.07) and resilience (b = 4.08, p = 0.15 and a significant increase in selfcompassion (b = 2.53, p = 0.04) were demonstrated, while perceived stress increased non-significantly (b = 1.51, p = 0.56) and empowerment was reduced non-significantly (b = −0.25, p = 0.29) for the active group compared with controls.

Conclusions

Consistent trends over multiple outcomes demonstrated positive effects of TIY on PMH, mindfulness, resilience, and a significant improvement in self-compassion. Limitations of a small study include an increased risk of failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false. A larger trial is warranted to demonstrate the effects of TIY more conclusively in positive mental health.

目的:本研究的目的是探索在线创伤告知瑜伽课程在提高普通人群积极心理健康和减少压力方面的有效性。设计:这是一项混合方法的前瞻性干预研究，其中包括主动创伤告知瑜伽组和等待名单对照组。方法从英国的一个组织招募了30名参与者。积极干预是每周一次预先录制的TIY视频课程(大约一小时)，持续10周。对照组是等候名单。主要结果是干预后积极心理健康量表与对照组之间的比较。次要结果是各组在各种相关量表上的差异。在分析中使用ANCOVA分别控制结果的基线水平。结果与对照组相比，积极组在消极心态(PMH) (b = 2.44, p = 0.16)、正念(b = 6.35, p = 0.07)和复原力(b = 4.08, p = 0.15)和自我同情(b = 2.53, p = 0.04)方面均无显著性升高，而感知压力(b = 1.51, p = 0.56)和授权(b = - 0.25, p = 0.29)均无显著性降低。结论:在多个结果中，一致的趋势表明，TIY对PMH、正念、弹性有积极影响，并显著改善自我同情。小型研究的局限性包括，当原假设为假时，无法拒绝原假设的风险增加。有必要进行更大规模的试验，以更确切地证明TIY对积极心理健康的影响。

Background

Enuresis management necessitates both non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches that are safe and effective. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of acupressure on the treatment of enuresis in children.

Methods

A total of thirty-two children who suffered from enuresis were recruited and received acupressure was performed by a certified therapist.

Results

There was a significant decrease in the frequency of enuresis in children after being given acupressure therapy compared to before acupressure therapy (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

It was concluded that acupressure can reduce the frequency of enuresis in children. Acupressure may be an alternative treatment that is safe, inexpensive, and not invasive for enuresis, but further studies are required to confirm results.

背景:尿潴留需要安全有效的非药物治疗和药物治疗。本研究的目的是探讨穴位按压对儿童遗尿的治疗效果。方法选取32例遗尿患儿，由临床医师对其进行穴位按压。结果与针刺治疗前相比，针刺治疗后患儿遗尿发生率明显降低(p <0.05)。结论穴位按压可降低儿童遗尿的发生频率。穴位按压可能是一种安全、廉价、无创的遗尿替代疗法，但需要进一步的研究来证实结果。
