Analysing the Impact of Resistant Starch Formation in Basmati Rice Products: Exploring Associations with Blood Glucose and Lipid Profiles across Various Cooking and Storage Conditions In Vivo

Common cooking methods were used to prepare basmati rice products, including boiling 1 (boiling by absorption), boiling 2 (boiling in extra amount of water), frying, and pressure cooking. The cooked rice was held at various temperatures and times as follows: it was made fresh (T1), kept at room temperature (20–22 °C) for 24 h (T2), kept at 4 °C for 24 h (T3), and then reheated after being kept at 4 °C for 24 h (T4). The proximate composition, total dietary fibre, resistant starch (RS), and in vitro starch digestion rate of products were examined. The effect of RS on blood glucose and lipid profiles was measured in humans and rats, including a histopathological study of the liver and pancreas in rats. The basmati rice that was prepared via boiling 1 and stored with T3 was found to be low in glycaemic index and glycaemic load, and to be high in resistant starch. Similarly, in rats, the blood glucose level, cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL were reduced by about 29.7%, 37.9%, 31.3%, and 30.5%, respectively, after the consumption of basmati rice that was prepared via boiling 1 and stored with T3. Awareness should be raised among people about the health benefits of resistant starch consumption and the right way of cooking

Use of platelet rich fibrin in tymapnoplasty: A prospective study

An observation study was undertaken at Department of Otorhinolaryngology, AIMSR fromJan 2021 – Aug 2022. The aim of my study the efficiency of use of autologous platelet rich fibrin membrane along with temporalis fascia in closure of tympanic membrane perforation during tympanopasty. All the patients attending ENT OPD at AIMSR within the age group of 11-60 years, irrespective of sex with tubotympanic CSOM either unilateral or bilateral were included in this study. In our study of 50 patients, 42 patients had graft uptake and 8 had failure of graft. Through this study we concluded that. The outcome of tympanoplasty does not depend on age and sex, dry ear of more than 6 month has a better graft

Clinicomycological assessment of fungal sinusitis in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis in a tertiary care hospital: An observational study

Background: Rhinosinusitis (RS) poses a major health problem, substantially affecting quality of life, productivity, and finances. Materials & methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Adesh Institute of Medical Science and Research, Bathinda on admitted patients of chronic rhinosinusitis suspected with fungal sinusitis. The specimen obtained during surgery was sent for fungal culture. All the results were analyzed by Microsoft excel software. Results: Fungal sinusitis was present in 50 percent of the patients. Mean age of the patients belonged to the age group of 39.76 years. 58 percent of the patients were males while the remaining 42 percent of the patients were females. Nasal obstruction, nasal discharge and headache were present in 44 percent, 40 percent and 38 percent of the patients. Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigates was present in 32 percent and 24 percent of the patients. Mucormycosis was present in 12 percent of the patients while Candida albicans was present in 14 percent of the patients respectively.&nbsp
