    A Comparative Study Of Heart Rate Variability In Middle Aged Obese Male And Non Obese Male
    (IMed Research Publications, 2019-02) Singh, Akhilesh Kumar
    Objectives: Obesity is on the rise in our country once viewed as a sign of prosperity it is a contributing factor to diseases. The purpose of this study is to see whether obesity has an effect on the heart rate of the subject by comparing and possibly contrasting the heart rate variability in obese and non-obese males.Materials and methods: Out of 100 participants, 50 healthy male obese (BMI >25kg/m2) individuals and 50 healthy male non-obese individuals (BMI <25kg/m2) of age group 35yrs-55yrs were taken from the general population. The ECG was recorded and HRV were derived from it. Results were compared by using independent ‘t’ test and Pearson’s correlation test was done for BMI and HRV. P < 0.05 was considered as significant.Results: HRV parameters and heart rate between the two groups LF, HF and HFnu, was found to be significantly reduced and LFnu and LF/HF was found to be significantly higher in obese persons. The correlation of BMI with the parameters such as ratio of LF/HF, normalised units of LF and HF revealed a significantly negative relation with HFnu. A positive relationship was also observed between LFnu and LF/HF ratio. However, it was statistically not significant.Conclusion: The middle aged obese males had reduced parasympathetic activity associated with elevated sympathovagal modulation. This altered balance of the autonomic nervous system increases the risk of cardiovascular disorders.

    Paediatric Mandible Fracture-Various Treatment Modalities – A Report of Case Series
    (Society for Health Care & Research Development, 2019-11) Singh, Akhilesh Kumar; Mishra, Nitesh; T, Janani; Arora, Varun
    Paediatric mandible fracture is one of the most challenging scenario in maxillofacial trauma to manage. Strategy for management of paediatric mandible fracture must include factors like age, anatomy, stage of dental de-velopment, fracture site and child ability to cooperate with the proposed treatment plan. The main objective be-hind the treatment of these fractures to restore underlying bony architecture to pre-traumatic state as conserva-tively as possible with minimal functional impairment. Therefore, choice of treatment option depends on vari-ous factors. In the present article we have tried to summarise different approaches towards the management of paediatric mandible fracture by presenting different cases of paediatric trauma.
