Tai Chi Therapy's Effectiveness on Depression and Quality of Life in Elderly Residents of Old Age Homes in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, India
Abstract: Growing older is the process of ageing. If we can make sure that we are lengthening life in the middle and not simply at the end, older people will live longer and in better health. The “longevity dividend” might be substantial for the societies that adapt to this shifting demography and invest in healthy ageing (WHO). Due to the socio-demographic changes, older adults at times are forced to transit from …

Immediate Hypersensitivity Reactions: Causes, Treatment and Prevention
Abstract: Hypersensitivity alludes to unnecessary, undesirable (harming, distress creating and some of the time lethal) responses delivered by the typical insusceptible framework. Extreme hypersensitivity responses require a pre-sharpened (safe) condition of the host. Immediate hypersensitivity is a quick IgE-and pole cell-intervened vascular and smooth muscle reaction that happens in hereditarily defenseless people upon introduction to certain ecological antigens to which they have been beforehand uncovered. These responses are otherwise called sensitivities, …
