Today's youth suffer from different diseases and disorders either intentionally (drug addiction, using cell phones) or unintentionally (environmental factors, life style changes) which drastically change their life span. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of gayatri mantra on cognition and cardiovascular parameters in young students. The effect of chanting, writing and listening gayatri mantra daily on cognitive and cardiovascular parameters was studied. Thirty-six healthy undergraduate students were randomly selected. The participants (age 21 3 years) were divided into four (chanting, writing, listening and control) groups (n=9). The different groups performed different tasks like chanting, writing and listening gayatri mantra every day for 108 times in the early morning at 6 am, for seven weeks. The control group was not doing any kind of mantra chanting, writing or listening.

Gayatri mantra in all forms like chanting, writing and listening affects cognitive

Animal studies play a vital role in the development of new medications, medical devices, and therapeutic methods. It is essential, however, that these studies adhere to ethical standards and international regulations to maintain scientific integrity and public confidence in biomedical research. Designed to provide researchers, regulatory professionals, ethics committee members, and institutional leaders with a thorough understanding of ethical standards and the challenges of compliance in preclinical animal research, this book covers regulatory frameworks from around the world, including the USA, European Union, Japan and Australia. Selected for their global impact, these regions represent diverse approaches to compliance while shaping standards internationally. This book also: - highlights the 3Rs principle of replacement, reduction and refinement within animal studies - includes case studies from prominent research institutions worldwide - provides practical advice on navigating international regulations Also exploring recent technological advancements that promote ethical research, including in vitro alternatives and computational models, this book encourages responsible and compliant research practices that promote scientific advancement while ensuring the humane treatment of laboratory animals.
