Impact of Amiloride-Hydrochlorthiazide Diuretic Against the Pathway of Uric Acid – VLDL and Peroxynitrite in Essential Hypertension
Abstract: Thiazides induce metabolic derangement in terms of hyperlipidemia, glucose intolerance, hyperuricemia and electrolytes imbalance. Co-amiloride-hydrochlorthiazide therapy favorably corrects the hypokalemia that is induced by thiazides alone. This study was aimed to identify the interactions between serum uric acid, very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL) and peroxynitrite in essential hypertensive patients using amiloride-hydrochlorthiazide as antihypertensive therapy. A total number of fifty patients (12 males and 38 females) with a history of hypertension were admitted in …

Potential Role of Unani Herbs in Management of Hypertensive Cardiomyopathy: A Review
Abstract: AbstractHypertensive cardiomyopathy (HTN-CM) is a structural heart disease associated with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) along with systolic or diastolic dysfunction in primary hypertensive patients in the absence of other cardiac diseases causing myocardial hypertrophy or cardiac dysfunction. The structural and functional myocardial abnormalities due to persistent hypertension result in myocardial ischemia, fibrosis, and hypertrophy. HTN-CM is primarily a disease of impaired ventricular relaxation rather than impaired contractility; thus patients …

A Scientific Study: Regulation of Autonomic Nervous System through Slow Breath Pranayama
Abstract: Voluntary slow deep breathing functionally resets autonomic nervous system through stretch induced inhibitory signals and hyper-polarization currents that propagate through both, neural and non-neural tissue. The scientific basis of benefits of practicing slow Pranayama, especially alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana Pranayama as NSP) and Dhyana is regulation of cerebral dominance and shifting of autonomic nervous system. This regulation occurs via Nadisunder control of Agya Chakra. The aim of the present …

A Review on the Clinical and Pathological Significance of Prorenin Receptor [(P)RR]
Abstract: The (pro)renin receptor (P)RR discovery, which is a novel constituent of Renin Angiotensin-Aldosteron System (RAS) has brought renin and (pro)renin back into spotlight. The (P)RR binds both renin and its inactive precursor (pro)renin, this binding triggers a cascade of intracellular signalling that eventually leads to upregulation of the expression of profibrotic genes, potentially leading to pathogenesis of cardiac and renal fibrosis, growth and remodelling. Clinically, it is also seen that …

Tackling Water Hardness: Understanding the Issue for Sustainable Development
Abstract: Hard water poses a serious threat to human health and industrial operations. The pervasiveness of water hardness, characterized by elevated concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions, originates from seepage and runoff from soils, as well as polyvalent metallic ions from sedimentary rocks. These minerals, while essential in moderate amounts, can become problematic when consumed in excess. Epidemiological studies have established correlations between excessive consumption of calcium and magnesium and increased …
