    A Comparative Evaluation of Losartan/ Hydrochlorothiazide (Fixed Combination) versus Amlodipine Monotherapy on Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, Biochemical Parameters and Adverse Effects in Patients of Hypertension.
    (2014-02) Shaifali, Iram; Kapoor, A K; Singh, H K
    Background: Long-term administration of antihypertensives require better efficacy and tolerability. Moreover, the agent should regress left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), which is an important predictor of cardiovascular events. Aims: To comparatively evaluate the effects of losartan/hydrochlorothiazide (LST/HCTZ) and amlodipine (AMLO) on LVH, biochemical parameters and adverse effects in hypertension. Material and methods: Two hundred fifty newly diagnosed hypertensive patients were randomly divided into two groups. LST 50 mg/HCTZ 12.5 mg and AMLO 5 mg once-daily, were administered. Biochemical parameters, adverse effects and ECG were recorded initially and after 6 months of therapy. Statistical analysis was done. Results: Both regimens significantly reduced mean SBP and DBP in each of the six follow ups (p < 0.001). LST/HCTZ caused regression of LVH in greater number of cases (26) than AMLO (20) and also showed a significant increase in mean values of serum creatinine, serum uric acid and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels and a significant decrease in Serum cholesterol. In AMLO group only serum creatinine was raised. The most common adverse effects in LST/HCTZ was dizziness (4.5%) and in AMLO group pedal edema (22%). Conclusion: Comparatively LST/HCTZ therapy causes regression of LVH in larger number of cases, increases HDL and is better tolerated.

    EEG Study in Excellent and Poor Achiever Students.
    (2010-10) Yadav, J S; Kumar, Rajesh; Tripathi, M N; Kaur, S; Srivastava, A S; Singh, H K; Kumar, Pankaj
    Objective: To assess the EEG amplitude and frequency of poor and excellent achievers. Method: The 15% highest achieving students and the 15% lowest achieving students from the three faculties were selected to be included in the study sample. EEG was carried out according to the 10–20 system, using a common reference electrode. The Bipolar recording of 10 minutes of two runs i.e. anterior, posterior and transverse has been taken into account for the analysis of data. Results: There are significant differences in the amplitudes of certain lobes of both hemispheres of poor and excellent achievers. Particularly, poor achievers have higher amplitudes. The frequency of excellent achievers of certain lobes is found to be significantly higher than those of the poor achievers. Conclusion: The relationship of amplitude and frequency with academic achievement are inconclusive, nothing can be said with confidence about the role played by the amplitude in determining the academic achievement of poor achievers. It is difficult to understand the specific roles played by the frequencies of the different lobes in determining the academic achievement of excellent achievers. Hence, further researches should be undertaken to study the cause and effect relationship between amplitude and frequency of the different lobes and academic achievements of’ students.

    Prevalence & risk factors of pre-hypertension & hypertension in an affluent north Indian population.
    (2008-12-28) Yadav, S; Boddula, R; Genitta, G; Bhatia, V; Bansal, B; Kongara, S; Julka, S; Kumar, A; Singh, H K; Ramesh, V; Bhatia, E
    BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Urban Indians have a high prevalence of insulin resistance, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. We studied the prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension, as well their association with cardiovascular risk factors, in a north Indian upper socio-economic population. METHODS: A total of 1746 adults (age >or=30 yr) residing in an urban colony of high-income group residents in the city of Lucknow, north India, were invited to be enrolled for the study. The response rate was 64 per cent (n=1112). Blood pressure, anthropometry, plasma glucose in response to oral glucose tolerance test and lipids were measured. The variables contributing significantly to pre-hypertension and hypertension were analyzed by multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The age and sex adjusted prevalence of hypertension was 32.2 per cent and pre-hypertension was 32.3 per cent. In contrast to hypertension, which was highest in the age group 60-69 yr (64%), prehypertension was highest (36%) in the group 30-39 yr. There was a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the general population [central obesity (86.7%), elevated LDL cholesterol (22.8%), abnormal glucose tolerance (41.6%) and smoking (20.3% of males)]. Two or more of the cardiovascular risk factors were present in a higher proportion of hypertensive [66%, odds ratio (OR) 3.0, P<0.0001] and pre-hypertensive, (56%, OR 2.0, P<0.0001) compared to normotensive subjects (39%). Subjects with pre-hypertension had body mass index, waist-hip ratio and frequency of glucose intolerance, which was intermediate between normotensive and hypertensive subjects. In multiple logistic regression analysis, increasing age, body mass index, waist hip ratio and impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes were independent risk factors for both hypertension and pre-hypertension. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSION: A high prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension were noted in affluent urban north Indians. Increasing age, body mass index, central obesity and impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes were significantly associated with both hypertension and pre-hypertension. Pre-hypertension was associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors.

    Pseudoseizures: Any Psychosocial Determinants.
    (2009-04) Dung Dung, Aldrin A; Singh, H K; Kumari, Sangeeta; Gupta, Meena
    A sample of 80 subjects; 15 male and 65 female in age group of 5 to 45 years well educated; were diagnosed for pseudo-seizures in Neurology OPD and were included in the study. Subjects were excluded who were with any psychiatric or major physical illness. The patients, as the diagnosed case of pseudo seizures, were referred for psychosocial evaluation and were included in the study. Several sessions were held with such patients, their family members and friends to explore the psychosocial stressors as well as secondary gain if any. We observed no significant difference in relation to marital, socioeconomic and educational status among the males and females. But there were significant differences in the findings of the study in relation to the sociodemographic profile of the patients in relation to age, marital status, education and occupation of the patients. Other variables like gender, socio economic status, habitat, religion and family did not reveal any significant difference. These results are in conformity to other reported studies on patients with pseudoseizures, who have a number of stressors i.e. financial burden, family conflicts, marital disharmony, love affairs, disruption in career related issues and academic failure etc.
