In the early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic emerged as a global threat to health and social stability were in the headlines of the news agenda. 24/7 news coverage was dominated by reports from collapsing hospitals and closed down cities, grave government officials announcing drastic counter-pandemic measures, shifting predictions for a vaccination timeline, and statistics of infected, hospitalized, and deceased in various countries around the globe. COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of our lives. One such effect is doom scrolling/doom surfing which is the tendency to continue to surf or scroll through bad news, even though that news is saddening, disheartening or depressing, practice researchers found has boomed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a myriad of reasons as to why endlessly looking for bad news feels so strangely fulfilling-a way of feeling in control in a world that feels so out of control all the time, the sense of safety in knowledge or curiosity of the human mind. Studies have shown that doom scrolling has negative impact on mental health, triggering, and worsening one’s mental and neurological health. . It also has impact on physical health, and increase in cases of cervical spondylosis, and posture related issues and joint arthritis. The habit also is not an easy one to break, but thankfully human brain quickly can divert their minds. Generation of awareness and adoption of digital hygiene strategies will contribute toward better affective regulation, mental well-being, healthy use of technology minimizes the experience of anxiety, fear apprehension hopelessness, and intolerance of uncertainty.

Aim: This study is conducted to assess factors interfering with good and poor glycemic control. Introduction: There is a rising trend in the prevalence of diabetes in India over recent years, poor and inadequate glycemic control affected by many factors such as socio-demographic, clinical and behavior factors constitutes a major risk factor for the development of diabetes complications. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using purposive sampling technique by enrolling 100 subjects with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus having 30 and above 30 years of age, attending OPD or admitted in SGRD hospital. Data collected by observation and interviewing the subjects using self-structured questionnaire. Analysis and interpretation were done by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: It shows that total of 100 subjects 61% had poor and 39% had good glycemic control. Factors such as age 50–59 years 18 (29.5%), male 36 (59%), informal education 30 (49.1%), BMI overweight 27 (44.3%), duration of diabetes 4–6 years, 30 (49.2%), and co-morbidities such as hypertension 38 (62.3%) and renal diseases 20 (32.8%), inappropriate diabetic diet 37 (60.7%), and 35 (57.4%) inadequate exercise alcohol consumption 26 (42.6%) were factors interfering glycemic control. Complications related to diabetes were 10 (16.4%) retinopathy and nephropathy, 23 (37.7%) neuropathy, 4 (6.6%) coronary artery disease, 8 (13.1%) foot ulcer, 15 (24.6%) stroke, 5 (8.2%) cataract and their odd ratios (OR-3.627, 7.45, 48.22, 6.18, 12.55, 18.09, 3.913, and 1.07, respectively). Conclusion: There is need to achieve an understanding of the extent of glycemic control in patients with type 2 DM and to see the factors interfering with good and poor glycemic control groups, and as a result, to spot the factors affecting glycemic control

Aim: This study was aimed to determine the effect of intradialytic aerobic exercise on blood urea in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Introduction: HD is one way to treat advanced kidney failure and can help to carry on an active life despite failing kidneys. Intradialytic exercise (IDE) is the exercise training performed during the HD session to increase the patient’s strength and endurance. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out among 60 adult patients on HD (30 each in control and experimental groups), selected by consecutive sampling technique, at selected tertiary care centers in Chennai. The baseline characteristics and pretest blood urea were collected from both the groups and the intradialytic aerobic exercise was administered for 8 weeks (3 times/week) among the experimental group of patients. Then Post-test I and II blood urea were assessed in both the groups at end of 4th and 8th week. The data were analyzed in SPSS 22. Results: IDE showed a significant effect in reducing blood urea (mg/dl) among experimental group of participants than control group in post-test I (76.73 ± 17.58, 93.20 ±19.24) and in post-test II (62.23 ± 13.28, 90.20 ±19.60) at P = 0.001. There was no significance difference in baseline data/pre-test between experimental and control group pre-test (103.53 ± 30.03, 103.70 ± 30.46). Conclusion: This study reveals that intra dialytic aerobic exercises is beneficial in terms of reducing blood urea, as a supplementary therapy for HD patients.
