Abstract

Stress is the gift of today's modernization. It may influence autonomic nervous system (ANS). It may reflect on Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Personality may affect the stress level effect on ANS. So this comparative interventional study was conducted to compare HRV response of physical and mental stress in both type of personality (type 'A' and type 'B'). This study was conducted of 30 type 'A' personality and 30 type 'B' personality subjects. Baseline HRV was recorded then mental stress is given and HRV was again recorded after 5 minutes. After 5 minutes physical stress was given and HRV was again recorded after 5 minutes. Mean change in HRV was compared in both the personality after mental and physical stress. Significance of this mean difference was ascertain with the help of unpaired 't' test. It was found that In Physical stress, all the parameters of HRV are significantly reduces in type 'A' personality than type 'B' personality except parasympathetic activity which was significantly less in type 'B' personality than type 'A'. In mental stress, there was no significant difference in all the parameters of HRV in type 'A' personality than type 'B' personality except in heart rate which was significantly reduced in type 'B' personality than type 'A'. The present study concluded that the mental stress should be avoided by both personality subjects, as it increases the sympathetic and reduces the parasympathetic outflow. Physical stress is beneficial to type 'A' personality subjects.

Abstract

Malaria is still a major public health problem in India. It is caused by a protozoa transmitted through bite of a type of mosquito. Temperature and rainfall has important role in life cycle of mosquito. So this record base study was conducted to assess the burden of Malaria in Rajasthan in year 2018 with its seasonal variation. This study was conducted at Directorate Medical and Health Services (DMHS) Jaipur (Rajasthan) India. The present study found total 9205 cases of Malaria occurred in year 2018.
