“…Similar to our study, Noor et al found highly significant statistical association of the awareness with educational status and significant association with gender. 21 Pandor, in her study done in Gujarat, found similar results in association of knowledge regarding yoga and higher educational level (graduate and postgraduate). 19 In the present study, we observed that the SBP in the patients practising yoga and/or meditation was lesser than the non-practising patients by 4.8 mmHg and it was statistically significant.…”

“…This was falling short of the recommendations from various studies which range from at least 30 minutes to 1 hour for 5 days a week. 14,21 We observed highly significant association between awareness regarding lifestyle modification involving yoga and meditation with gender, education, socioeconomic status and with locality (urban non-slum/ urban slum/rural). Similar to our study, Noor et al found highly significant statistical association of the awareness with educational status and significant association with gender.…”

Background: Yoga and meditation hold promise as a non-pharmacological management of hypertension as they have shown to lower blood pressure. This study aimed at (1) assessing the awareness about benefits of yoga and meditation in hypertension among patients and finding its socio-demographic correlates, (2) estimating the practice of yoga and meditation in hypertensives, its pattern and impact on blood pressure control.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 hypertensive patients. Statistical association was tested with chi square and independent t tests.Results: It was observed that only 9% respondents were aware of the benefits of yoga and meditation in hypertension while 12.8% practised the same. On probing it was found that these 3.8% practised yoga and meditation only because their physician had advised them to do so without even knowing their benefits. This points out the importance of physician advice which can be even more effective if pros and cons are properly explained. People who were aware of the benefits were 51.9 times more likely to practise them (p<0.001). Highly significant association was observed between awareness regarding lifestyle modifications like yoga and meditation and gender, socioeconomic status, education and locality (urban non-slum/urban slum/rural).Conclusions: The complementary use of non-pharmacological treatment or lifestyle modifications like yoga and meditation can go a long way to lower blood pressure and such options need to be provided by the health care providers and the gap in awareness elicited in our study needs to be addressed.

“…El punto de corte es 7,5. Aunque existe evidencia que indica que el rendimiento de la escala de Alvarado no es superior a la de RIPASA en el diagnóstico de apendicitis aguda (8,9), la mayoría de estas investigaciones han sido realizadas con población asiática, para la cual fue creada la escala de RIPASA (10).…”

Contexto: A través de los años se han desarrollado varias escalas para apoyar el diagnóstico y predecir la gravedad de los casos con un cuadro sugestivo de apendicitis aguda. En esta investigación se comparan dos de estas escalas. Objetivo: Determinar el grado de certeza diagnóstica de las escalas Alvarado y RIPASA como apoyo diagnóstico de Apendicitis Aguda, en la población del oriente del Hospital General Puyo, desde enero 2021 hasta diciembre 2021. Metodología: Investigación analítica, comparativa, retrospectiva, de exactitud diagnóstica. Población y muestra: Historias clínicas de 105 pacientes adultos admitidos con diagnóstico de apendicitis aguda en el periodo de estudio. Se utilizó el programa SPSS v25.0, se calcularon la sensibilidad (S), especificidad (E), valores predictivos (VPP y VPN), razones de verosimilitud (LR+ y LR-), OR diagnóstico (ORD), IC 95% y curvas Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC). Como pruebas de referencia se tomaron el criterio del cirujano y, el examen histopatológico. Resultados: Exactitud diagnóstica: Alvarado: Sensibilidad: 49,0% (35,9%-62,3%), Especificidad: 50,0 % (37,1%-62,9%); Valor Predictivo Positivo: 48,1% (34,2%-62,2%); Valor Predictivo Negativo: 50,9% (37,0%-64,7%), Razón de verosimilitud positiva: 0,9 (0,7-1,4), Razón de verosimilitud negativa: 1,0 (0,7-1,5); Odss ratio diagnóstico: 0,9 (0,4-2,1), Área bajo la curva: 51,8% (40,6%-63,0%). RIPASA: Sensibilidad: 76,5% (62,2%-86,7%), Especificidad: 12,9% (5,8%-25,5%), Valor Predictivo Positivo: 45,3% (34,7%-56,4%), Valor Predictivo Negativo: 36,8% (17,2%-61,4%), Razón de verosimilitud positiva: 0,88 (0,73-1,06), Razón de verosimilitud negativa: 1,82 (0,78-4,25), Odss ratio diagnóstico: 0,48 (0,17-1,35), Área bajo la curva: 60,8% (49,7%-71,9%). Conclusiones: No hubo diferencias significativas entre las escalas RIPASA y Alvarado en relación a la exactitud diagnóstica de apendicitis aguda en el Hospital General de Puyo. En ambos casos, el rendimiento fue “discreto”; pero, debido a las características de la muestra, no debería generalizarse este hallazgo.
