“Effectiveness of Aerobic Exercise on Dysmennorhoea among Adolescent Girls in Selected High Schools of Bagalkot, Karnataka.”

Background of the study: Adolescence in girls has been recognized as a special period which signifies the metamorphosis from girlhood to womanhood. One of the major physiological changes that take place in the adolescent girls is the onset of menarche, which is often associated with problems of irregular menstruation, excessive bleeding and dysmenorrhoea. Dysmenorrhoea is the term for painful menstruation. Aerobic exercises are found to be very beneficial for the treatment of menstrual problems. Aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of aerobic exercises on dysmenorrhea among nursing students.  Methods: Quasi- Experimental was conducted at VMS government high school, at navanagar Bagalkot Karanataka. Total study 101 students were selected by purposive sampling technique. .Written consent was taken from participants for the study. Socio demographic variables, Clinical characteristics ,and  Numeric Pain Rating Scale were used as tool for data collection. Results: The present study revealed that mean pain score and standard deviation was 3.25 ± 3.29 before giving intervention and 2.25± 0.73 after giving intervention. The effectiveness was statistically tested by using paired t- test which revealed that t value = 6.08 and the result was found to be significant at p<0.001 level of significance. So, the results of the present study also revealed that, there was statistically significant association between the post-test level of dysmenorrhoea with the selected socio-demographic variables among nursing students at p<0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that, there was a decrease in level of pain during dysmenorrhoea after intervention (Aerobic exercises)

“A Correlation Study to Assess the Quality of Life and Quality of Sleep of People Living with Cancer. A Cross Sectional Study at Hsk and Kerudi Hospitals, Bagalkot,” Karnataka, India.

Introduction: Cancer patients and survivors are vulnerable to disturbed sleep and impaired quality of life across the continuum of illness. Few studies have sought to identify predictors of quality of life using well- validated measures of both sleep quality and quality of life in this population. Objectives: To assess the quality of life and quality of sleep of People living with Cancer and find the relationship between them. in HSK and Kerudi cancer hospital at Bagalkot Methods: The quality of life and quality of sleep were measured using WHOQOL-BREF scale and PITTSBURG SLEEP QUALITY INDEX scale respectively from a convenient sample of 40 People living with Cancer attending HSK and Kerudi cancer hospital, Bagalkot in a cross-sectional survey. The data was entered in MS excel sheet and transferred to SPSS 25 for analysis.   Results: Majority (90%) of cancer patients had average quality of life, (50%) of cancer patients had Moderate sleep disturbance. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between the quality of life and quality of sleep ((rs= -0.720, P<0.01). A significant association was found between the quality-of-life scores and demographic variable age (p<0.05) and there was a not significant association between total quality of sleep scores and demographic variables Conclusions: There was significant negative correlation between quality of life and quality of sleep among cancer patients

“A Correlation Study to Assess the Relationship between Diabetic Distress and Blood Glucose Level among Diabetic Patients Attending to Medical OPD of HSK Hospital and Research Centre Bagalkot”.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorder in which deficit in insulin production or action of insulin it leads to increased sugar level in blood. Diabetic distress is the emotional reaction of person living with diabetes, the burden of daily self – management of diabetic mellitus, and to prevent the long-term complication of DM. Method: The descriptive correlation survey design was used for the present study. The data was collected from a sample 60 diabetic patients from attending Medical OPD of HSK Hospital Bagalkot using convenient sampling technique. Diabetes distress scale was used to assess the level of stress among diabetic patient. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: In this present study the highest percentage is 55% of patient had mild distress, 23.4% of patient had moderate distress, 21.6% of patient had severe distress. & there is a week positive correlation between glucose random blood sugar and diabetic distress.   Conclusion: The study concludes there is a positive correlation between glucose random blood sugar and diabetic distress (GRBS)

“A Hospital based Cross-Sectional Study to Assess the Functional Independence and Quality of Life and Determinants among Stroke Survivals at Selected Neuro Centers of Bagalkot’’

Background :- Functional independence and Quality of life are commonly problem among stroke patients, which usually impede in proper management of neurological center and also can create serious brain issues if not treated properly. Method: - The Descriptive study design was adopted for the present study. The sample for the present study includes 50 stroke patients from neurological unit at selected Hospitals of Bagalkot. Qualitative research approach was used, descriptive design was used, data was collected from at selected neuro centre study includes 50 subjects, by using convenient sample technique data was collected. Structured quality of life and functional independence tool was used to collect the data. Data was analyzed using descriptive  Statistics. Result :- The Result Shows that neurological patient have 58% of mild to moderate level functional of independence and 60% having moderate level of quality of life. There is a statistically weak negative co-relation between functional of independence and quality of life among stroke patients. Indicating that there is a negative co-relation between functional of independence and quality of life among stroke patients. Conclusion: The Result Shows that neurological patient have 58% of mild to moderate level functional of independence and 60% having moderate level of quality of life. There is a statistically weak negative co-relation between functional of independence and quality of life among stroke patients. Indicating that there is a negative co-relation between functional of independence and quality of life among stroke patients

Roadmap on magnetic nanoparticles in nanomedicine

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) represent a class of small particles typically with diameters ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. These nanoparticles are composed of magnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, or their alloys. The nanoscale size of MNPs gives them unique physicochemical (physical and chemical) properties not found in their bulk counterparts. Their versatile nature and unique magnetic behavior make them valuable in a wide range of scientific, medical, and technological fields. Over the past decade, there has been a significant surge in MNP-based applications spanning biomedical uses, environmental remediation, data storage, energy storage, and catalysis. Given their magnetic nature and small size, MNPs can be manipulated and guided using external magnetic fields. This characteristic is harnessed in biomedical applications, where these nanoparticles can be directed to specific targets in the body for imaging, drug delivery, or hyperthermia treatment. Herein, this roadmap offers an overview of the current status, challenges, and advancements in various facets of MNPs. It covers magnetic properties, synthesis, functionalization, characterization, and biomedical applications such as sample enrichment, bioassays, imaging, hyperthermia, neuromodulation, tissue engineering, and drug/gene delivery. However, as MNPs are increasingly explored for in vivo applications, concerns have emerged regarding their cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and degradation, prompting attention from both researchers and clinicians. This roadmap aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on the evolving landscape of MNP research
