The main aim of the present study is to find out the level of Anxiety among diabetic patient. It was hypothesized that the level of and Anxiety will differ in diabetic patients with regards to gender and type of area. The sample consists of total 120 (60 patients of urban and 60 patients of rural area) the sample is selected from city and various villages, by using purposive technique. Anxiety scale prepared by A.K.P. Sinha and L.N.K. Sinha devised this test and it is available both test in Hindi and English. Gujarati Adoption by Bhatt D. J. (1999). The data was scored, analyzed as per the manual. ‘t’ test was being calculated. The result showed that (1) There is no significant difference between the mean score of anxiety among male and female diabetic patient. (2) There is significant difference between the mean score of anxiety among type of area i.e. urban and rural. Thereafter could be said that, diabetic patient of rural area show more anxiety than diabetic patient of urban area.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a rapidly growing health problem in India. Diet and physical activity are important modifiable risk factors affecting the incidence, severity and management of DM. The aim of the study was to assess diet of diabetes mellitus patients. 87 adults from a cohort of diabetic patients attending the Medical Clinics at the Hamidia Hospital Bhopal were invited for the study.Methods: Information about their nutritional status & food consumption pattern was taken by 24-hour dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire. Data was analysed using Epi Info and MS Excel. Frequency counts and percentages were used to describe the demographic characteristics of the participants while the significance difference in between male and female participants. The significance level was set at P <0.05 and 0.01. Statistical analysis used:  MS Excel and Epi Info.Results: The study sample was 87 out of which 56 were females and 31 were males; mean age of DM patients was 48.21±12.98.The mean energy intake was 1386.52 kcal and 1125.79 kcal among male and female. The mean protein intake was 68.71 g and 50.50 among male and female diabetics. There was significant difference between male and female age.

Abstract Introduction: Asymptomatic hypoglycaemia has been reported in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients on haemodialysis. Uremic symptoms as inadequate appetite, nausea and vomiting worsen the risk of hypoglycaemia at dialysis initiation. As a standard therapeutic approach for decreasing this risk and dis-equilibrium syndrome at our dialysis unit, a continuous venous 5% glucose solution is applied during the glucose-free dialysate (GFD) dialysis. In this interventional study we sought to assess the glycaemic control during standard initiating dialysis protocol versus novel approach with glucose-rich dialysis fluid (GRD). Material and methods: Twenty-one dialysis patients with chronic renal failure were dialyzed alternatively using GRD (5.6 mmol/l) and GFD fluid. They were not taking any hypoglycaemic medication prior and food during dialysis session. Blood was sampled at regular intervals during dialysis. The dialysis prescription consisted of ultrafiltration (UF) of up to 1 L, membrane surface (MS) up to 1.4 square meters and duration time of 2-2.5 hours. Intra-patient glycaemic variability was defined by Coefficient of variation (CV). In paired analysis t-test was used to determine the glucose control differences in both therapeutic approaches in each patient. For the whole group t-test was used to assess the glucose variability as CV. Results: The mean age of study participants was 62.95±11.73 years; 7 (33%) had diabetes. The two dialysis approaches did not differ in respect of initial blood pressure, UF and MS. Only two episodes of hypoglycaemia occurred in both types of dialysis. The mean glucose level was higher during GRD (8.15±1.89 vs. 6.29±1.33, p=0.001), respectively. The glucose CV was lower in GRD dialysis when pared t-test was applied, without significant difference (16.97± 8.86 vs. 21.05±11.99, p=0.151). When only diabetic patients were analysed, there was no significant glucose CV difference as well (p=0.151). For the whole cohort glucose variability was significantly higher in glucose-free dialysate dialysis (p=0.0001). Conclusion: The GRD approach for initiating dialysis sessions is non-inferior to standard GFD care. Dialysate rich in glucose obtains better glucose control during dialysis compared to glucose-free dialysate.

The study was carried out to assess the differences in the productivity of grain legume farmers, based on gender in Benue State, Nigeria. A Sample size of 220 grain legume farmers comprising 110 male and 110 females was used. Data were collected with the use of a well structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, such as frequency, percentage and mean, as well as inferential statistics, such as t-test and total factor productivity. The results revealed that the mean age of female respondents was 38 years while that of male was 40 years. A larger proportion of the male and female respondents were married (82.7%, and 71.8%:, respectively).The result showed a mean household size of 7 persons for females and 8 persons for males. Also the average annual income was ₦218,309 for females and ₦258,285 for male grain legume farmers. Farming was seen as their major occupation with an average farming experience of 9 years for the females and 10 years for the males. An average farm size of 2.8 hectares for female respondents and 3.4 hectares for the males exists in the study area. Furthermore, result on productivity showed that the mean yield/ha of male respondents was higher (780.28) than the yield of female (696.85) respondents. The t-test result revealed that there was a significant difference in the yield of male and female grain legume farmers (t=1.968, P=0.050), and there was also a significant difference in the productivity of male and female farmers (t=1.648, P=0.041). The study therefore recommends that female farmers should be encouraged to acquire higher education and also female grain legume farmers should be given equal rights as regards productive factors like land.

Aim: This research is planned to identify the effect of exercise on death anxiety in women in the post-menopausal period. Methods: This research is an experiment patterned study (Pre-test/post-test control group model). This model is a two-factor experimental design that shows repetitive measurements (pre-test- post-test) and subjects (experiment-control) in different categories. A total of 36 women voluntarily participated in the study in Erzincan, including 18 women in the experimental group who go through menopause and exercise, and 18 women in the control group who go through menopause and never exercise. The experimental group were given Pilates exercises 3 days a week for 8 weeks, and the control group were asked to preserve their daily lives without regular exercise. In the research, personal information form containing sociodemographic variables of individuals and the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) form adapted to Turkish by Akça, Köse (2008) were used as data collection tools. After identifying the distribution characteristics in the analysis of the data, paired t-test was used for in-group comparisons and independence sample t-test was used for intergroup comparisons in order to identify the effectiveness of the exercise program and to discover the difference between the first and last test scores of the groups. Results: In the Death Anxiety Scale, the mean death anxiety score was found to be 8.66 as a result of the pre-test performed in the experimental group. And after the exercise, the mean score was 8.38. Although there was no statistically significant difference, there was a decrease in the death anxiety score averages. The mean pre-exercise death anxiety score of the control group was found to be 8.33. The mean post-exercise score was found to be 8.22. Conclusion: There was no significant effect of 8 weeks of exercise on death anxiety. It is understood that even if exercise has some positive physical and psychological contributions on the subjects during this period, a strong anxiety such as death cannot be eliminated in such a short time.
