Aging is believed to be a first-order risk factor for most neurodegenerative disorders. Brain changes do not occur to the same extent in all brain regions.7 Men and women may also differ with frontal and temporal lobes most affected in men compared with the hippocampus and parietal lobes in women. The neurotransmitters most often discussed with regard to ageing are dopamine, serotonin and acetyl-choline. Vestibular stimulation modulates the neuro-transmitters which are involved in brain aging and delay aging. Hence we recommend controlled vestibular stimulation to all. This in the need of time to identify the importance of vestibular system and to start translational research in this area.

The present study was undertaken with an objective to observe the effect of sleep duration on spo2 and pulse rate in males and females and to create awareness among the general population to improve the quality of life. The present study has been performed at Little Flower Medical Research Centre, Angamaly, Kerala, India. A total of two hundred and twenty two healthy male and female college students, with mean age 18.55 ± 0.94 were participated voluntarily in the medical camp comprising 110 males and 112 females. Two investigators of our study recorded Spo2 and pulse rate by using pulse oximeter from the students at the same time. The participants were grouped into two groups, those who sleep more than seven hours and those who sleep for less than seven hours and their spo2 pulse rate were compared. The analysis of data was done by SPSS 20.0. Independent sample t test is used for data analysis. Spo2 is equal in both the groups. However pulse rate is slightly lower in the students who sleep less than seven hours. However this is not statistically significant (P value 0.372). Our study suggests that Pulse rate is slightly lower in the students whose sleep duration is less. No significant change is observed in spo2 in our study. Hence this study merits to continue with higher sample size.

There are no studies where the pupil to limbus diameter ratio was assessed in the underweight individuals. Hence, the present study was undertaken to observe the correlation of pupil to limbus diameter ratio (PLD ratio) with blood pressure and pulse rate in underweight females. A total of 30 underweight females were included in the present study after obtaining voluntary informed consent by convenient sampling. PLD ratio was measured manually by the two-box method. There was a positive correlation between the PLD ratio of the right eye with the blood pressure and pulse rate. However, it was not statistically significant. There was a negative correlation between the PLD ratio of the left eye and pulse rate but it was not statistically significant. There was a positive correlation between the PLD ratio and systolic blood pressure. However, it was not statistically significant. There was a positive correlation between the PLD ratio and diastolic blood pressure. However, it was not statistically significant. The study results suggest the correlation between the PLD ratio and the blood pressure and pulse rate. The insignificant of results may be due to less sample size.
