In persons with COPD, a deterioration in cognitive ability has been linked to disease activity, aggravation frequency, the existence of illnesses, and low levels of physical activity. Physical training is commonly considered the foundation of therapeutic interventions in Patients with COPD. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and usability of implementing various modalities of physical activity in a COPD rehabilitation program. This review was led by an analysis of the secondary data approach. Primary research and epidemiological studies using exercise-based therapies and cognitive performance evaluations released between January 2018 and January 2022 were considered. This study found that physical exercise regimens had a substantial favorable influence on patient outcomes. However, Individual characteristics and their impact on exercise regimen efficacy and utilization will be included in future evaluations of within-subject comparative measures..

Abstract : In this prospective study, we assessed the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) values in the thirty-three intracranial masses were obtained.The FA value in the lesion was reduced in lesion and the perilesional area of the tumor compared to that of the normal appearing white matter (NAWM) for all the tumors except epidermoid cyst. However the FA value in the lesion was found to be lower than the FA value in the perilesional area.The MD value in the lesion and the perilesional are was found to be higher than that in the NAWM. However the MD value in lesion was found to be slightly higher than that in the perilesional area.Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)can be used in conjunction with conventional MRI in the diagnosis of intracranial masses..

Abstract : This study was conducted to sensitize and assess the knowledge of final year medical students on “Informed consent”. Study group comprises of final year students of Apollo medical college, Chittoor. A quantitative & qualitative questionnaire was prepared on informed consent, based on “Likert’s scale” & definition by Hon. Supreme court of India and administered as pre-test & post- test after a didactic lecture class of 30 minutes. 85% of students attended the didactic lecture class. Importance of all the components of informed consent were recognised by 50% of students in pre-test and >80% in post- test. Components of definition on informed consent recognition was more on post –test (Except permission and by a patient). Didactic lecture has great impact on student perception. Majority of students failed to recognise that informed consent has to be granted by patient. Students failed to recognise that informed consent has to be obtained before any diagnostic procedures. Highlights that this topic has to be included in curricula of subjects other than Forensic medicine. Emphasis has to be placed on “communication skills”, so that U.G can communicate better with patient in future..

Abstract : Congenital anomalies are a major cause of infant mortality and an important contributor to childhood and adult morbidity. The aetiology of; however, lack of information about modifiable risk factors for malformations in cardiovascular development impeded the prevention of CHDs. We investigated an association between maternal lifestyle factors and the risk of CHDs, because epidemiological studies have reported conflicting results regarding maternal lifestyle factors and the risk of CHDs recently. The objective of study was to estimate the importance of maternal socioeconomic and lifestyle factors during pregnancy in the risk of congenital anomalies in the study population. A population based observational study was carried out in N.R.S. Medical College and Hospital amongst pregnant women who were carrying a baby with congenital from July 2021 to December 2021. Pregnant women were approached during their first antenatal acre visit at our OPD/ ER/ radiology department. All women who intended to carry their pregnancy and were ready to participate in the interview were included in the study. During the period 42 patients were included in the study as per inclusion criteria Thorough history taking and was done. Template was generated in MS excel sheet and analysis was done on SPSS software. In the present study, maximum cases of congenital anomalies 8 (19.05%)were in the age group of > 30 years in high income group category followed by 7 (16.67%) in the same group. Maximum cases of congenital anomalies were in gravidity in G4 and above 13 (30.95%). Preconceptual Smoking was found maximum in high income group participants i.e 8 (19.05%). About 27 (64.29%) of father were smoker while only 9 (21.43%) mothers were smoker. Drug History of mother was present in 11 (26.19%) of mothers while 27 (64.29%) mothers were having comorbid illnesses. Congenital heart defects were found in 13 (30.95%) studied population. Musculoskeletal system anomalies were present in 9 (21.43%), Urinary system anomalies were present in 6 (14.29%), Nervous system anomalies were present in 5 (11.90%). According to our study results, unfavourable maternal socioeconomic factors and smoking during pregnancy increased the risk of congenital heart defects..
