The shift in epidemiology from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases indicates that the rural population is also at a high-risk for developing diabetes mellitus. Introduction The aim of present study is to estimate the prevalence of diabetes and high, medium, and low risk in rural population of Karnataka. Furthermore to study the effect of Integrated Approach of Yoga therapy on participants with Diabetes and high-risk population. Methods Within the chosen villages, people aged above 18 were surveyed using mobile application. Low, medium, and high risk for diabetes were graded using Indian Diabetes Risk Score. Following which 43 (diabetic=13, High risk=4, Medium risk =22, low risk=4) interested people attended yoga classes taught by trained therapist for 10 days. The module included breathing exercises, loosening, suryanamaskara, and asanas, meditation, and relaxation techniques. The assessments were carried out day one prior intervention as well as on 12th day. Vital parameters like FBS (using Hemocue machine), weight, waist circumference, Blood pressure were assessed. Psychological parameters such as Fatigue severity scale, Emotion Regulation scale, Satisfaction of life scale, and Sleep quality tools were used to measure the effect of IAYT. All the participants were asked practice regularly in home, every Sundays the therapist use to visit to monitor and encourage the practice. All parameters were again assessed after 5months.Item Effect of one week integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT) on peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), 6 minute walk test, anxiety and sleep quality index in asthma patient a pilot study(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Sarungbam Joyshree ChanuEffect of one week integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT) on peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), 6minute walk test, hospital anxiety and depression scale, breath holding time, and symptom score, in asthma patient - a pilot study Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. The chronic inflammation causes an associated increase in airway hyper-responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing at night or in the early morning. Most of the Yoga based studies have reported, significant improvements in pulmonary functions, quality of life, and decrease in medication use. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of yoga on peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), 6minute walk test, hospital anxiety and depression scale, breath holding time, and symptom score of asthmatics. Methods: In present study 20 participants with the age range from 18 to 75 years from Arogyadhama, Bangalore was selected. Results: Showed significant change in PEFR (p<0.01) from 240 ±90.32 to 271.5±87.19 with 13.13%, in 6minWT (p<0.00) from 120.67±27.26 to 141.84±39.21 with 17.54%, and in HADS (p<0.009) from 13.5±7.74 to 8.45±6.41 with -37.41% respectively change. In SQI there in no improvement but disturbance of sleep and number of asthma attacks in night time get reduced. Conclusion: IAYT is effective in asthmaItem To study the prevalence and IAYT effect on diabetes and highrisk population in rural Karnataka – a survey and pre-post design(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Kumar, Praveen B.Background Rural India is currently experiencing a great spurt in lifestyle diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and ischemic heart disease.

Method: Thirty participants with diabetes recruited from Arogyadhama, Holistic Health Care Home in Prashanti kutiram, at Bangalore, were checked for DNA damage before and after 7 days of IAYT intervention. Age range of participants was from 30 to 65 years. Intervention consisted of intensive residential yoga program comprising of asana (physical posture), pranayama, meditation, devotional sessions, diet modification and interactive sessions on philosophical concepts of yoga. The damage in the genomic DNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was assayed by single cell gel electrophoresis method following the previously described protocol of Singh et al. Analysis of the data was done using CASP and excel. Result: After one week of IAYT program, 63% of participants showed lessening in the DNA damage (decrease in post tail length) after intervention while in 37% the DNA damage increased (increase in post tail length). The percentage of decrease of tail length was significantly higher (37%, comparing the percentage of means of pre and post) than the percentage of increase of tail length (19%). The data of both positive and negative change showed normal distribution. Conclusion: DNA Damage has a direct link with defects in metabolism, non-communicable disease like diabetes and stress. There was significant reduction in the tail length of DNA and the total comet length after IAYT intervention which signifies a better improvement in the DNA damage. Whether this was achieved because of reduction in stress or through other physiological pathway is not know. Normall distribution of data shows that the damage or betterment of damage, are both not a chance occurring in this data but first of a kind report of Yoga influencing the DNA repair mechanism. Also, in this novel study we have made findings to differentiate between short and long fragment DNA damage through data analysis.Item Effect of one week intergrated yoga program on depression using implicit and explcit measures(S Vyasa, 2017-01-14) Kumar, AmitanshuBackground Depression has a negative impact on all aspects of an individual’s life. Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy is known to have a beneficial effect on a range of depressive symptoms. Attempt to understand the effect of Yoga on emotional regulation using implicit and explicit measures in depressed individuals were not made earlier. This information is important to assess stability of an intervention. Materials and Methods In a one-week residential yoga program depressive participants (n=32) were assessed on Implicit Association Test, Emotional Stroop Test, Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS). This Yoga group was also cross-sectional compared with a healthy group (n=26). Results The mean age of yoga group and healthy group was 27.72±6.28 and 21.46±3.46 respectively. Significant improvement was observed only in HADS (p < 0.05). Improvements were seen in all other variables but it was not statically significant. Only explicit domain improved significantly whereas implicit domain was not influenced much indicating that strength of this yoga program needs to be strengthened further to see changes in implicit measures. Conclusions One week IAYT is effective in reducing severity of depressive symptoms. But a longer duration study will be required to assert long lasting changes in implicit domain.
