A Study on the Relationship between Hypocapnia and Febrile Seizure at Hazrat Rasool Hospital in Iran during a Three-Year Period of 2013-2015

Saba Arshi, Davood Ershadi, Mohammad-Hassan Bemanian and Fahimeh Ehsanipoor

Aim: The recent studies have reported hypocapnia as an effective factor in febrile seizure. Since this problem has been overlooked in Iran, this paper aims to determine the relationship between hypocapnia and febrile seizure through a case-control study.

Method: The statistical population consists of children with simple fever or febrile seizure examined in Hazrat- Rasool Hospital during a three-year period of 2013-2015. We divided the children into case group (children with febrile seizure) and control group (children with simple fever). We also investigated the role of sex, age, family history and BMI in febrile seizure and hypocapnia. The data was collected by checklist based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. We compared the case and control groups using efficient statistical methods.

Results: We selected 83 children, out of which 44 children suffered from febrile seizure and 39 children had simple fever. 84.1% of the case group and 59.0% of the control group suffered from hypocapnia. The comparison of two groups produced P=0.011, which confirmed the significant relationship between febrile seizure and hypocapnia. The statistical analysis of the variables of sex, age, family history and BMI produced P-value>0.05, which confirmed the lack of relationship between the aforementioned variables and febrile seizure.

Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this research are in line with the previous studies, which indicate that hypocapnia is an important etiological factor in febrile seizure. It is recommended that further studies be made on this subject.

Whether the Individual’s Particular Prakruti May Play a Key Role as One of the Major Causative Factors for Incidence of Myopia? - A Pilot Study

Sunil Rapolu

Introduction: Prakruti is the individual’s unique constitution on the basis of Dosha dominance. Considering the fact, in the recent past there have been several studies that have been proposed on the basis of some important genetic, biochemical and hematological basis for Prakruti. The aim of the present study was to evaluate that whether the Prakruti has any role in the incidence of myopia?

Method: We conducted this study in healthy young volunteers including the both gender after taking their written consent. The Prakruti of these volunteers was assessed based on a validated questionnaire. After confirming that the primary Dosha ascertained by self-assessment questionnaire, 151 volunteers were shortlisted and grouped into three on the basis of primary Dosha and their visual acuity recorded by using Snellen’s chart (distant vision chart reading) as numerical convention and later converted into percentage. The results were analyzed by applying suitable statistical tests.

Results: As per the results of visual acuity test by using Snellen’s chart (distant vision chart reading) have no relationship with the primary Dosha expressed in an individual.

Conclusion: Individual Prakruti may not be the only one major governing factor for incidence of myopia. Visual acuity variation in different individual may be influenced by many other causative factors too.

Acute Effects of Yin Yoga and Aerobic Exercise on Anxiety

Denise Winroth, Peter Hassmen and Christopher J Stevens

Yoga and aerobic exercise have several health benefits. These include improved mood and well-being, and reduced symptoms of depression and stress. Research further suggests that the two modes of exercise have an anxiolytic effect, although these findings are not consistent across the literature. The current study measured the acute effects of yin yoga and aerobic exercise on state anxiety, train anxiety, and trait mindfulness. Thirty participants completed a one-hour yin yoga session, and fourteen returned one week later to complete a one-hour aerobic exercise session. Immediately before and after the sessions, participants completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). No differences in scores on the STAI and MAAS were detected after the aerobic exercise, however there was a significant reduction found in state anxiety and trait anxiety after the yin yoga, with no changes in trait mindfulness. The results indicate that yin yoga has an anxiolytic effect, although the uneven number of participants made comparison difficult. Yin yoga should be considered as a potential treatment option for anxiety.
