Tahajud is qiyammul lail or sunnah muakad in Islam, which is both spiritual and physical practice that integrating mind and body. Tahajud regularly has been showed the improvement of neuropsychoendocrinology sistem, relaxing muscle of breathing, and might be influencing cardiovasculae function. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of tahajud on blood pressure, pulse rate, and lung volume. Observational analytic study with cross-sectional design was conducted from June – October 2013, using direct measurement to compare calues of blood pressure, pulse rate, and lung volume (forced volume capacity – FVC and forced expiratory volume in 1 second) between tahajud and non-tahajud prayers. Fourty two male students at Bina Siswa SMA Plus Cisarua, Lembang included in this study as volunteer subjects after informed consent. The result are the mean difference for pulse rate (-2,29 ± 8,69 vs 5,38 ± 0,27; p=0,001), forced volume capacity (-0,04 ± 0,27 vs 0,37 ± 0,27; p=0,012), systolic blood pressure (-2(-22,30) vs 0(-20,30); p=0,64), diastolic blood pressure (0(-20,20) vs 0(-20,20); p=0,22), and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (2,64 ± 0,64 vs 2,23 ± 0,38; p=0,22). This study concluded that tahajud regularly provided improvement in value of cardiopulmonary system especially in pulse rate and FVC.

Abstract Research examining biological risk is critical given that both the Mexican and U.S. populations are aging. Biomarkers can help us understand underlying disease patterns among Mexican-origin individuals in Mexico and the U.S. to help inform disease-prevention efforts for these populations. Using data from the 2012 Mexican Health and Aging Study and the 2010/2012 Health and Retirement Study, we examine seven biomarkers known to predict health risk: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, and C-reactive protein. Logistic regression models, controlling for age and sex, are used to predict high-risk for each biomarker among Mexico-born Mexicans, Mexico-born Mexican-Americans, and U.S.-born Mexican-Americans. Results show that Mexico-born Mexicans exhibit higher biological risk for systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, low HDL cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, and inflammation than Mexico-born and U.S.-born Mexican-Americans. Additionally accounting for socioeconomic status and health behaviors did not explain differences in high-risk among Mexican-born Mexicans.

Eur J Endocrinol 1996; 135:598–603. ISSN 0804–4643 Perimenopause and menopause may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, so we have investigated the cardiovascular and catecholamine response to caffeine in perimenopausal women compared to young cycling premenopausal subjects. Caffeine (250 mg per os) was administered to nine perimenopausal women and nine premenopausal women. The perimenopausal women repeated the test after 4 months of percutaneous estrogen replacement therapy. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine, glucose, insulin and free fatty acids were determined at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min after caffeine administration. No differences were found in the basal values of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, norepinephrine, epinephrine, insulin, glucose and free fatty acids between perimenopausal women, both before and after therapy, and premenopausal women. Caffeine induced a higher increase of systolic (F = 4.9; p < 0.05) and diastolic blood pressure (F = 4.7; p < 0.05) in perimenopausal women before and during estrogen therapy as compared with premenopausal women. Pulse rate increased significantly only in perimenopausal women before therapy (F = 6.5; p < 0.03). These data show that perimenopause either before or during short-term estrogen therapy is associated with enhanced cardiovascular reactivity to caffeine. This phenomenon is not due to increased adrenergic and metabolic responses. Graziano Del Rio, Department of Internal Medicine via del Pozzo, 71 41100 Modena, Italy

Background: Premenstrual syndrome is a set of physical, behavioural or emotional symptoms that some women experience on regular basis in relation to menstruation. Premenstrual symptoms have been associated with perceived stress, and perceived stress is the strongest predictor of premenstrual syndrome. The purpose of this study was to investigate the premenstrual stress and its effect on cardiovascular system and sensorimotor association and processing capability of central nervous system.Methods: The present study was done in 60 healthy female volunteers in age group of 18-22 years. We measured following parameters during premenstrual and postmenstrual phases- pulse rate, blood pressure, weight, auditory and visual reaction time and perceived stress with the help of Cohen’s perceived stress scale.Results: The study revealed that significant increase was observed in perceived stress, pulse rate, blood pressure, weight, auditory reaction time (ART), and visual reaction time (VRT) during premenstrual period as compared to postmenstrual period.Conclusions: These changes could be attributed to fluid and salt retention due to ovarian steroids and to exaggerated response to hormonal changes leading to decrease in the processing capability of central nervous system. It is not clear how stress may contribute to increased pre-menstrual symptom severity, although stress-induced changes in ovarian hormone levels and neurotransmitters may be involved.
