Abstract:
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is prevalent among IT professionals and often accompanied by psychological symptoms such as depression, stress, and sleep disturbances. While conventional treatments primarily target pain management, holistic approaches like yoga show promising results in addressing both physical and psychosomatic factors. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to assess the impact of a yoga intervention on depression, stress, and sleep quality in IT professionals with CLBP. A total of 83 IT professionals with CLBP were randomly allocated to either a yoga (n = 40) intervention group or a control group (n = 40) receiving standard care. The intervention group underwent a structured yoga program tailored for CLBP, while the control group followed a standard care protocol. Outcome measures, including pain intensity, depression levels, perceived stress, and sleep quality, were assessed using validated standard questionnaires. Preliminary analysis reveals significant enhancements in the yoga intervention group compared to the control group. Specifically, participants in the yoga group reported a statistically significant reduction in pain intensity (p < 0.05), along with notable decreases in depression scores (p < 0.05), anxiety score (p < 0.05), and stress levels (p < 0.05). Additionally, the yoga intervention group demonstrated enhanced sleep quality (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. This RCT provides compelling evidence for the efficacy of yoga as an adjunctive therapy for CLBP management in IT professionals. The findings emphasize the potential of yoga in alleviating both physical and psychological symptoms associated with CLBP. Healthcare providers may consider incorporating yoga into treatment programs for CLBP in IT professionals to optimize outcomes and enhance overall well-being. Moreover, these results emphasize the importance of holistic interventions in addressing the complex nature of CLBP in the workplace.

Abstract
India has been affected by novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) since January 2020. It was declared as a pandemic outbreak and a nationwide lock down was implemented to reduce the transmission of infection. As a lack of effective treatment method or vaccine development against the disease, social distancing and home confinement was considered to be the only solution. The COVID-19 has a dangerous effect on the quality of life of the public. The aim of the present study was to assess the life style changes among the public in tamilnadu during the outbreak. This web based survey was initiated to asses and compare the life style changes during lockdown period of COVID-19 outbreak in Tamil Nadu. By July 10, 2020 a total of 236 participants submitted the responses and the collected data were included for the analysis. The study contained a planned questionnaire that finds out demographic, dietary habits information, screen exposure, sleep time and lifestyle habits information through online survey. The present study findings suggest that significant influences of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on the majority of employed individuals with history of no comorbidity by decreasing Physical activity (60.16%), increase in screen time (52.9%) and sleep per day (43.2%), decrease consumption of vegetables (36.4%) and variation in fruits and meat consumption. This study elicits the importance of various factors to be considered before the commencement and policy about the Lockdown and its durations. These findings need to be further confirmed with studies of larger population size to gain higher insight towards healthy lockdown against COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) often encounter challenges related to both physical and mental well-being. Recognising the widely acknowledged benefits of yoga in promoting overall health, this study aimed to assess the impact of a 12-week yoga program on heart rate variability (HRV), an indicator of autonomic nervous system function, in healthy young female adults with ID. A total of 56 healthy young female adults with ID participated in the study, engaging in a tailored 12-week yoga program. Regular yoga sessions, adapted to their abilities and needs, were provided. HRV was measured using electrocardiography (ECG) at baseline and post-intervention. Age-matched peers with ID, who did not partake in the yoga program constituted the control group. Following the 12-week yoga intervention, a significant (P < 0.05) reduction was observed in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and pulse pressure (PP) within the yoga group compared to the control group. Short-term HRV analysis revealed a significant (P < 0.05) increase in time domain parameters among the yoga group participants. In the frequency domain, high frequency (HF n.u) exhibited a significant (P < 0.05) increase, whereas low frequency (LF n.u) and LF/HF ratio displayed a significant decrease after yoga practice. This study suggests that yoga practice positively influences heart rate variability in young female adults with ID, potentially enhancing autonomic nervous system function and overall well-being. Implementing yoga programs tailored to the specific needs of individuals with ID may represent a valuable strategy for improving their physical and mental health. Further research is essential to validate these findings and explore the broader implications of integrating yoga into the care and support of individuals with ID.
