“Prevalence of Hypertension in school going adolescents – A Prospective observational Cross-sectional study”
No full textIntroduction: Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and premature mortality worldwide, affecting approximately one billion individuals, with a higher prevalence in developing countries. Globally, hypertension is defined as having an average systolic blood pressure of at least 140 mmHg, an average diastolic blood pressure of at least 90 mmHg, or the use of antihypertensive medication, with a prevalence of 31%. In India, the prevalence of hypertension among adults is slightly lower at 28%.
Materials and Methodology: This cross-sectional study focused on school adolescents aged 13-17 years, with a calculated sample size of 200. The study was conducted over four months at Shri Ambe Vidhyalaya School in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. Inclusion criteria included willingness to participate and being an adolescent aged 13-17 years, while exclusion criteria included unwillingness to participate, advised rest for more than 15 days due to sickness in the last 6 months, acute or chronic illness, and absence during the study period. Data collection included a self-administered questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and blood pressure measurements.
Results: Out of 200 subjects, 52.2% were male and 47.5% were female. The prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension was 4.86% and 14.02%, respectively. Factors such as gender, junk food consumption, and sleep hours were not statistically significant, while family history was significantly associated with high blood pressure and hypertension. Conclusion: The study concludes that among school adolescents, the prevalence of raised blood pressure is 14.02%, with hypertension at 4.86%. Family history was significantly associated with hypertension, while other factors such as gender, junk food consumption, and sleep hours were not statistically linked
Evaluation of Efficacy of Medicinal Plant Supplementation Strategy Against Anemia
No full textIntroduction: Anemia is one of the most common disorders prevalent across the globe, characterized by lower hemoglobin level, causing lesser oxygen supply to cells, eventually developing an array of clinical signs. Women, due to their greater iron requirement and higher iron loss throughout the reproductive age, maximum during pregnancy and lactation, suffer mostly. Among a wide variety of causative factors, iron deficiency is the most common. Pharmaceutical interventions, in the form of iron supplements along with dietary management with iron rich foods are being adopted to address this issue. However, certain limitations of both methods are challenging to explore newer strategies. Kulekhara, a common Indian medicinal plant, having low cost, easy availability and no clinically documented side effects cab ne effective option; though lack of awareness is limiting its capability to curb the issue of anemia at large scale.
Objectives: Evaluating the efficacy of Kulekhara, along with detailed nutritional assessment, in improving the condition of anemia and also to make people aware of its benefits.
Methods: Women of age group of 19-40 years (reproductive / child bearing age group) from moderate socio-economic background were chosen for the study, based on exclusion criteria. Detailed nutritional assessment, including 24-hour dietary recall, diet survey; BMI calculation; clinical / physical examination of signs and symptoms; estimation of Hemoglobin (Hb) level were performed, followed by statistical analysis. Kulekhara was introduced and re-evaluation of the clinical signs and hematological parameters were made, followed by statistical analysis.
Result: Despite a satisfactory range of food habits, preferences, lifestyles, nutritional support, anemia was prevalent, according to the clinical signs. Hb level was also lower than normal range. After Kulekhara supplementation, significant improvement was noticed in both parameters, namely physical and hematological examinations.
Conclusion: Kulekhara supplementation can be effective boon to improve anemic conditions and eventually be effective to curb anemia at large scale

Pharmacological Profiling and Therapeutic Evaluation of Herbal Plants in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Management
No full textThe objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapy involving Trimetazidine with beta blockers, such as Metoprolol, in managing anginal episodes, given the limitations of traditional hemodynamic agents in treating all individuals with anginal problems. While medications like nitrates, beta-adrenergic antagonists, and calcium channel blockers are commonly used to reduce myocardial oxygen demand and alleviate cardiac strain, they often produce undesirable hemodynamic effects such as changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output. Consequently, a significant proportion of patients continue to experience chronic angina despite treatment, increasing the risk of future heart issues.
Several clinical studies, including the Total Ischemic Burden European Trial (TIBET), International Multicenter Angina Exercise (IMAGE) study, Combination of Trimetazidine with Metoprolol in stable effort Angina, Poland (TRIMPOL II) study, and Trimetazidine in Angina Combination Therapy (TACT) study, have reported conflicting findings regarding the efficacy of combination therapy with two hemodynamic agents. However, previous research suggests that combining Trimetazidine with beta blockers or long-acting nitrates can lead to significant improvements in exercise stress test parameters and better management of uncontrolled anginal symptoms, with good patient tolerability.
This study aims to explore the potential of metabolic therapy, exemplified by the combination of Trimetazidine with Metoprolol, as a contemporary approach to ischemic illnesses. The lack of unique dosage forms and comprehensive research investigations underpinning this combination make them promising candidates for further investigation in this study
