Abstract : Salacialehmbachii has been used in traditional medicine to treat malaria and anaemia, convulsion, pains, inflammation, respiratory disorders, and other health challenges. This study evaluated the antiplasmodial activity and hematological parameters in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice treated with ethanol root extract of S.lehmbachii. Sixty healthy Swiss mice were used for this study. The 4-day suppressivetest, curative effects against established rodent malaria infection in mice models and haematological indices. The animals were treated with 20 mL/kg of distilled water, chloroquine 10 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/g of the ethanol root extract, respectively. The extract at varying doses, significantly (p<0.05 and p<0.01) exhibited a dose-dependent decrease in parasitemia in suppressive and curative studies. Chloroquineat 10 mg/kg significantly (p<0.01) decreased parasitemia levels in the two models of malaria infections. The effect elicited by the extract against plasmodium is equivalent to standard drug in terms comparison. There was a significant increase (p<0.01) in hematological indices. However, there was also a decrease (P <0.05) in WBC and its differentials. The secondary metabolites revealed potential phytoconstituents. The extract was found to be non-toxic in mice at 5000 mg/kg. The findings show that S. Lehmbachiiethanol root extract demonstrated high antiplasmodial activity in a dose-dependent fashion and improved hematological indicesin plasmodia infected mice.

Journal ID : AMJ-09-02-2023-11204; Author : Dr.Sonali Rajdev, Dr.Ranadip Mukherjee2, Dr.Rahul Kumar Shukla,
Abstract : Eclampsia and Pre-eclampsia account for about half of these cases Worldwide and have been recognized and described for year despite the general lack of understanding of the disease. Hypertension is the most common medical problem encountered during pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a metabolic disorder that adversely affects the lives of mother and their infants. Even though, several studies have been conducted on PE, no effective diagnostic and therapeutic agents were developed so far. Eclampsia, which is considered a complication of sever pre-eclampsia. It is commonly defined as new onset of Grand mal seizure activity or/and unexplained coma during pregnancy or postpartum in a female with signs or symptoms of pre-eclampsia Hence, this study was designed to evaluate serum uric acid, blood urea and creatinine levels in the prediction of Pre-eclampsia (PE) and Eclampsia. A hospital-based case-control study was conducted among pregnant women’s. A simple random sampling technique was applied to select study participants. The clinical data were collected. Serum samples were used to determine the maternal uric acid, urea and creatinine levels via an automated chemistry analyzer. Independent sample t-test, Pearson correlation test analysis were performed to check the association and diagnostic accuracy of variables Eclampsia to pre- eclampsia. The mean ages (in years) of the case and control groups were 17 to 20 age group with 11, 12 & 06 patients, 21 to25 age group with 33,11 & 17 patients, and 26 to31 age group with 6, 02 & 03 patients of controls, pre- eclampsia and eclampsia respectively. The above geographical distribution of patients. In pre-eclampsia 21 is rural & 04 is urban and in eclampsia 25 is rural & 01 is urban and no one is found in tribal. The age wise comparison of uric acid, urea and creatinine of cases in pre-eclampsia. The most deviation is shown by age group 26 to 31. The comparison of all parameters in controls and cases of pre-eclampsia. The Uric acid 9.676±3.376, urea 44.544±9.152 and creatinine1.2560±0.3841 are highly significant in cases as compared to control group of Uric Acid 3.3145±0.910 Urea 30.168±8.287 and Creatinine 0.7366±0.1686 comparison of all parameters in control and cases of eclampsia. Uric acid, urea and creatinine are highly significant in cases as compared to control groups respectively. In this study, Uric acid is found to be highly significant in 2nd and 3rd age group (P<0.001) and not significant in 1st and 2nd & 3rd and 1st age group. Urea is found to be highly significant in all compared age group (P<0.001). Creatinine is found to be not significant in any compared age group in Pre -eclampsia patients and Uric acid is found to be not significant in any compared age group. Urea is found to be highly significant in 2nd and 3rd age group (P<0.001) and not significant in 1st and 2nd & 3rd and 1st age group. Creatinine is found to be not significant in any age group of eclampsia Patients. But their inclusion in routine diagnostic test to eclampsia & Pre-eclampsia requires large-scale multi-center prospective studies that corroborate our findings.

Abstract : The cognitive-social theory (SCT) is often used as a principle of health behavior change that is influenced by cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of nutrition education based on SCT on self-efficacy, motivation, knowledge, and breakfast practice of female adolescents with anemia in Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi Province. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a pre-post test and control group design. The sample inclusion criteria included female adolescents aged 10-18 years from 4 Junior High Schools. A total of 62 samples were obtained and grouped randomly at the location. The intervention group (n=31) was given a module and nutrition education for 90 minutes with a total of 12 meetings, and the participants' parents were involved in discussions, while the control (n=31) was given 12 types of leaflets every week for 3 months. Questionnaires, Food Frequency, and 24-hour recall (3 days before and after education) were analyzed using the SPSS software with independent-sample T-test, paired-sample T-test, Wilcoxon, Mann Whitney, and Chi-square. There was a significant difference in self-efficacy, motivation, knowledge, and breakfast practice after the administration of nutrition education based on cognitive-social theory in the intervention group (p=0.000). Based on these results, there were differences in these parameters after nutrition education between both groups (p=0.000). Nutrition education based on SCT has a positive effect on changes in self-efficacy, motivation, knowledge, and breakfast practice of anemic adolescents.

Journal ID : AMJ-05-02-2023-11194; Author : Serhat Koran, Aydın Sarıhan, AYDIN SARIHAN,
Abstract : The purpose of this study is to investigate the acute effect of chiropractic sacroiliac joint manipulation on core muscle strength in tennis players. 65 tennis players were approached for the study. A total of 50 tennis players with an average age of 47.8±11.4 who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study were enrolled. After recording their sociodemographic information and time spent playing tennis, a test for abdominal and back core strength was conducted. Then, chiropractic sacroiliac joint manipulation was performed. A final test was conducted afterwards. The initial and final tests were performed by different chiropractors. The measurements for core muscle strength (abdominal and back) were performed using the Chattanooga Stabilizer Biofeedback Pressure device. Significant differences were found in abdominal and back core scores after chiropractic manipulation (p<0.05). Although males had higher back and abdominal core scores compared to females, this difference was not significant (p>0.05). Similarly, males had a longer time spent playing tennis than females, but this difference was not significant (p>0.05). Our study results indicate that core muscles, which are important for the health and performance of athletes, can be strengthened through chiropractic practices.
