Dr. Nidhi Sharma presented on the relationship between visceral fat and cognition. Visceral fat surrounds internal organs in the abdomen and is linked to increased disease risk. Recent studies show higher visceral fat is associated with poorer performance on cognitive tasks involving attention and task switching. Childhood obesity and higher visceral fat are also linked to weaker cognitive abilities. Visceral fat may impair cognition through inflammatory pathways and reduced blood flow to the brain. Physiotherapy approaches like aerobic exercise and resistance training can help reduce visceral fat and may have benefits for cognition.

Introduction
Obesity is a health situation whereby the affected person(s) has fats in excessive level in the body. Some individuals are unaware of the growing incidences or number of cases related to the obesity. In the United States, there are more than 70 percent of men and 60 percent women in adult population that are overweight. The risks that are associated with obesity include the development of life-threatening diseases like heart failure, cancer, hypertension gall bladder, osteoarthritis, and the category II of diabetes (Zhao, 2013).
This paper, therefore, aims at looking at the literature review of the past studies on adult obesity. In this study, data is collected from different previous studies that have discussed adult obesity. Areas of the present research and coming research on adult obesity and its complications are also addressed in this paper.
Literature Reviews
According to the study by Goededcke and his colleague, in 7786 sampled women of ages between nineteen to ninety-five years in South Africa, the black females recorded a higher prevalent of obesity and overweight.Females of different ancestry were at 52 percent, females with the white complex at 49.2 percent while the women of Indian origin were at 42.8 percent. There was higher Body Mass Index among the women residing in the towns as compared to the women living in rural places. It was noted that the Body Mass Index increased as one age. The overall rate of obesity was higher in men (29 percent) and women (56 percent) (Goededcke, 2010).
This prevalence is higher as compared to other nations in Africa especially females because 30 percent of women in South Africa of age 30 to 59 have cases of obesity. North Africa also has a higher prevalence of obesity as South Africa
.
In his cross sectional study using 1430 rural and urban individuals from Luo, Maasai, and Kamba females of ages 17 to 68 years, Christensen and his colleagues found out that there was an increase in the inside and under skin fats, fat in the area of the arms and the waist circumference as one gets older. This was common among the Maasai females as well as in individuals in the urban areas. The incidence of the overweight BMI (≥ 25) and obesity BMI (≥ 30) was greater among people dwelling in town as compared to those in villages. The rate of the overweight was at 39.8 and 15.8 percent of the city and community areas respectively. Residents from cities recorded a higher rate of abdominal viscera and under skin fat thickness. High prevalence of overweight was due to the accumulation of fats among the Maasai (Christensen, 2011).
Report from the World Health Organization indicates that China, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, as well as Bangladesh have higher obesity prevalence. The pathological obesity in India is at five
percent of ...

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SELF-EFFICACY 2
The Relationship between Physical Activity and Self-Efficacy in Schools
Abstract
Few studies have examined the relationship between physical activities and health outcomes among adolescents. The majority of the adult population knows much about health-risk behaviours of adolescents, and knows less about their health-promoting behaviours. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between physical activity levels and self-efficacy among adolescents.
Introduction
According to Start Active, regular physical activity associates with benefits for physical and mental health (as cited in Roberts et al, 2015). Studies have indicated that health life traits and styles have an impact on lifelong health and life quality. Childhood poor diet and physical inactivity have been risk factors for a multitude of chronic health condition in adulthood (Matthews et al, 2015). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for children, only 42% of children and 8% of adolescents achieve current recommended physical activity.
Most students studying in Hoca Ahment Yesevi University were hound to have health issues emanating from lack of physical exercise and personal fitness programs (Ozkan, 2015). Up to 70 per cent of university students are reported as not participating in regular free-time physical activity or exercise (Haase et al, 2004, as cited in Roberts et al, 2014). Simon et al (2015) mentioned that majority of the adult population fails to achieve recommended daily exercise, 30-minutes moderate intensity exercise. When physical activity is conducted regularly as the researchers found out, it is likely to improve the physical fitness of the students and generally of people and therefore contributing heavily to better healthy life styles. Achieving daily exercise was shown to promote better sleep quality and higher psychological functioning in adolescents (Kalak et al, 2012, as cited in Rew et al, 2015).
Styles and activities that promote the health of humans increase their chances of wellbeing and therefore promote healthy living. In achieving well-being in health, there must be a mentioned engagement in activities which are likely to enhance the same such as proper exercises and fitness methods. Health promotion takes quite a multidimensional structure, that is, intellectual, mental, physical and social and therefore a number of behaviours which are meant at promoting behaviours are identified by health professionals and other researchers. These behaviours include life appreciation, stress management, health responsibility, social support, exercise and better nutrition. Therefore a general conclusion is arrived at that physical activity and exercise have an impact on the quality of human life and can actually aid its improveme.

Physical Activity during Pregnancy and the Effect on Mothers and Fetal Health
Abstract
1.2 Introduction:
Physical activity is an essential role that all people should engaged, aerobic and muscle strength exercises are an easy to do where the benefits of it are great, prevention, treatment of disease and keeping fit in all stage of life even in pregnancy period and this exercises can be modify to suit physical condition of the pregnant womens
Pregnancy is a blessing from Allah that every woman wishes. Pregnancy it’s condition that many changes it happened on women bodies from the day of fertilization to the day after delivery of the baby and the popular effect in women bodies it’s the increment of body weight, as it's known that many women they didn’t control them weight and they become overweight or obese, in this condition the pregnant woman she will be in danger, many diseases start with increase of the body weight and it may lead to a serious health problems. Without controlling the body weight increment, woman with a normal weight it may become an overweight or even obese.
In general overweight and obesity one of prevalence public issue that affect many countries in the world where it’s observe in all ages, adults, adolescents, and children it maybe became a global epidemic , the impact of this issue has a strong relationship with mortality and morbidity also this relationship have been known for more than 2000 between health professionals[1-2]. body mass index (BMI) is the way that give a right measurement for the total body fat compare with body weight, the method for calculation by determining the body weight in kilogram and divide it by height in meter squared, this way determine the degree of overweight easy with a reliable number.
There are interventions that can control the body weight before pregnancy period, during pregnancy period and after it, but the most important intervention that we will cover it’s the physical activity or exercise and the advantages for this intervention on the mother health and the outcome also the disadvantages that it can happen if available.
Physical activity and exercise has a great impact on health status, where there are many study done to prove this relation. where health outcome in people with physical inactivity is a major problem in the world and specially in developed countries. In worldwide physical inactivity appear in a huge number where one out of every five adults is physically inactive and the long period of sitting independent show that is a risk factor for mortality[3]
The healthy body weight in pregnancy it depends on the body mass index (BMI) so the WHO classify the BMI into four categories underweight: <18.5 kg/m2, normal weight: 18.5-24.99 kg/m2, overweight: 25-29.9 kg/m2, and obese ≥30 kg/m2 [4-5]. With this category, recognizing every case will be easy and right grouping will be more accurate.
all pregnant women are included in all age and different country.

Relationship of body mass index, fat and visceral fat among adolescentsSports Journal
In the present study the researcher studied out the correlation of Body mass index, Fat and visceral fat
among adolescents. Data was statically analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Multi
Correlation Coefficient was used (PPMCC). It was find out that body mass index was significantly
correlated with fat and visceral fat and on the other hand fat was also significantly correlated with
visceral fat among adolescents.
ABSTRACT- Obesity is the problem of global concerned. All over the world it is considered to be the most improbable dilemma both health and appearance wise. Obesity not only makes the person to feel low in society but also indulge them with other health related disorders. Present review tries to focus on the different aspects allied with the obesity. Diseases associated with obesity and different therapies of concerned are being dis-cussed.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. Introduction to Body Fat
Bad reputation
Everyone tries to exercise it away
But for researchers, it is the most fascinating
and intriguing organ
Fat has more functions in the body than we
thought.
When we are hungry, fat stores could be
mobilized.
Metabolism could be controlled by the hormones
released from fats.
4. Types of Fat
Brown fat: activated when you feel cold, helps to
maintain body temperature by producing heat.
White fat: store energy and produce hormones
that makes us less susceptible to diabetes and
heart diseases.
Subcutaneous fat: found directly under the skin,
normally harmless and may even protect from
some of the diseases

care, 2009 June; 32(6)
5. Types of Fat contd...
Visceral Fat: fat wraps around the inner
organs and drives up the risk for many
diseases.
Belly fat: Belly fat has gotten a mostly
deserved reputation as an unhealthy fat.
Belly fat is both visceral and subcutaneous

6. VISCERAL FAT
Visceral fat also termed as
deep fat or active fat.
It is found in the abdomen
surrounding the internal
organs externally.
Often misinterpreted as
subcutaneous fat.

ensures that there is
some spacing between
the internal organs.
Visceral obesity is
defined as visceral fat
area more than 130 cm²
at the level of Lȝ.

9. PREVALENCE
Central adipocity or obesity rate in 2014 were 41.2% in China.
In a study of 2018 a total of 35.5% children were categorized as
obese.
In a study of 2019, they estimated that >340 million children and
adolescents aged 5–19 years and 41 million children under the age
of 5 years were overweight or obese upto 2016.
In the survey for 2018-2019, at least one- third of the global
population was overweight or obese and >60% of people with
obesity lived in developing countries.

18. COGNITION
Cognition refers to the
process of thinking.
Mental action or
process of acquiring
knowledge and
understanding them
through thought,
experiences and the
senses.

20. RELATION BETWEEN COGNITION
AND VISCERAL FAT
Visceral fat produces inflammatory cytokines and hormone.
It serves as an endocrine organ which secretes
adipocytokines such as interleukins that can exacerbate
inflammation and impair vascular functions.
It could act to limit cerebral perfusion that can culminate
cognitive functions.

21. • It drains directly into portal circulation and then to liver in
form of very-low density lipoproteins which leads to disorders
like dyslipidaemia, hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
• IRS2 gene variants are responsible for central adiposity, insulin
sensitivity, cognitive performances and in turn glucose
metabolism.
• Impaired micro vascular function may reduce oxygenation in
the brain and adversely contribute to the pathogenesis of
cognitive disorders.
22. • A stronger correlation between reduced cognitive function
and increased visceral adiposity (VFA) than global obesity
(BMI) exists in older adults withT2D.
• In younger individuals also, deficits in attention, executive
function, verbal learning, verbal memory, and manual
coordination have been noted with increasing BMI.
• Studies suggest that hormone milieu associated with
obesity itself modulates cognitive changes.

24. RECENT STUDIES
According to this recent
study of 2019, males and
females with higher amount
of visceral fat area
calculated by Biomedical
impedance analysis were
slower in task switching
cognitive paradigm as
compared to lean ones.

25. Results: children who were
obese and hat higher
accumulation of visceral
fat area were poor in
cognitive abilities and
thinking abilities as
compared to children who
were under normal BMI.

26. According to this study of
2017, it is stated that,
people with high visceral
adipose fat have worse
cognitive values as
compared to those with
sub-cutaneous adipose
tissue.

30. PHYSIOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT
Aerobic exercises including walking
and cycle ergometer are the main
interventions for continued 2 weeks
helps in reduction ofVAT.
Resistance training benefits the
obese to improve functional
outcomes and cognitive abilities with
decrease in visceral fat cognition and
insulin sensitivity.

intensity endurance (aquagym,
cycling, walking) and resistance
training( free weight training) for 8
weeks was said to proof faster
reduction in visceral fat.
Bouts of interval training also reduces
visceral fat.The protocol was 4
minute cycling exercise, followed by 3
minutes for recovery excluding warm
up and cool down exercises.
