Abstract

The practice of yoga and meditation at Dharma Hidup Singin Prana Bali has a deep meaning in maintaining physical and mental balance, as well as supporting mental health in the midst of the dynamics of modern life. Yoga has been shown to be effective in helping to manage blood sugar levels through meditation and yoga practices. This study uses quantitative research methods, specifically using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test, to assess the results before and after the intervention for the purpose of evaluating blood sugar levels from the results of yoga and meditation exercises. Descriptive analysis of 32 samples showed that the mean glucose values after the intervention showed a decrease. Statistical analysis of Kolmogorov-Smirnov pre-test with P = 0.183 data showed normal and homogeneous distribution. The test of the difference in the results of the pre-test and post-test research using the Paired sample T-test analysis with 95% confidence showed significance = 0.000 Because the significance result of 0.000 which means < 0.001 where 0.001<0.05 so that there is a statistically significant difference. Traditional Dhsp Bali yoga and meditation exercises involving breathing exercises, postures and Yoga have been shown to be effective against the balance and decrease of glucose levels in the blood.

Abstract

Low back pain is a frequently seen problem in the society and causes loss of productivity. In recent studies, inflammatory mediators and inflammation itself has an efficient role in pain mechanism. We aimed to investigate the association between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio level as an inflammatory biomarker with pain severity patients with chronic low back pain. A retrospective analysis was conducted on medical records of low back pain patients between Januari until December 2024 in Neurology Department of Bhakti Rahayu Denpasar Hospital. Seventy-three medical record patients between 27-81 years old were included in the study. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is calculated by dividing the absolute neutrophil count by the absolute lymphocyte count based on blood samples. The patients were divided into two groups based on pain severity. The average age of the participants was 56,63 years (±15,56) (p= 0,077), with 40 males (54,85) and 33 females (45,2%) with average neutrophil count 5,99 x 109/L (±1,45) (p= 0,200) and lymphocyte count 1,75x 109/L (±0,39) (p= 0,093). NLR cut-off was 3,55 (±0,72) (p= 0,200). Higher NLR correlated with age (r = 0.243, p = 0.038) and pain score (r = 0.394 p < 0.001). High NLR increased the risk of 33, 43 LBP patients experiencing moderate pain (p= <0.001). NLR may be used as a simple and reliable premise independent predictor of pain severity in patients with chronic low back pain
