RESUMEN
Background: COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine of people who were tested positive made more cautious and anxious when being out in public. This study concentrates on the prevalence of panic and agoraphobia using panic and agoraphobia scale. Methods: Survey research study of 121 subjects using web-based data collection (Google form). Results: The result were obtained using panic and agoraphobia scale. Statistical analysis did not show considerable panic attack and agoraphobia in people who were tested positive for COVID-19. Conclusions: The study population did not show considerable panic attack and agoraphobia after being quarantined or hospitalised during 1st, 2nd and 3rd wave of COVID-19.
RESUMEN
Background: Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) is a measure of the maximum speed of exhalation after a deep inspiration. The peak expiratory flow is measured by a device named peak flow meter. This study concentrates on the correlation of the PEFR with the pectoral muscle length.Methods: It is a cross sectional study of 30 convenient samples based on gender distribution where the PEFR and pectoralis muscle length were measured in the subjects.Results: Statistical analysis shows that there is a significant correlation between right pectoralis major general muscle length and PEFR (p=0.030), left pectoralis major general muscle length and PEFR (p=0.014), right pectoralis major clavicular end muscle length with PEFR (p=0.010).Conclusions: There is a significant correlation between peak expiratory flow and pectoralis muscle length.
