Listening to Turkish classical music decreases patients’anxiety,pain,dissatisfaction and the dose of sedative and analgesic drugs during colonoscopy:A prospective randomized controlled trial

AIM： To determine whether listening to music decreases the requirement for dosages of sedative drugs, patients＇ anxiety, pain and dissatisfaction feelings during colonoscopy and makes the procedure more comfortable and acceptable. METHODS： Patients undergoing elective colonoscopy between October 2005 and February 2006 were randomized into either listening to music （Group 1, n = 30） or not listening to music （Group 2, n = 30）. Anxiolytic and analgesic drugs （intravenous midazolam and meperidine） were given according to the patients＇ demand. Administered medications were monitored. We determined their levels of anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Test form. Patients＇ satisfaction, pain, and willingness to undergo a repeated procedure were self-assessed using a visual analog scale. RESULTS： The mean dose of sedative and analgesic drugs used in group 1 （midazolam： 2.1 ± 1.4, meperidine： 18.1 ± 11.7） was smaller than group 2 （midazolam： 2.4 ± 1.0, meperidine： 20.6 ± 11.5）, but without a significant difference （P 〉 0.05）. The mean anxiety level in group 1 was lower than group 2 （36.7 ± 2.2 vs 251.0 ± 1.9, P 〈 0.001）. The mean satisfaction score was higher in group 1 compared to group 2 （87.8 ± 3.1 vs 58.1 ± 3.4, P 〈 0.001）. The mean pain score in group i was lower than group 2 （74.1 ± 4.7 vs 39.0 ± 3.9, P 〈 0.001）. CONCLUSION： Listening to music during colonoscopy helps reduce the dose of sedative medications, as well as patients＇ anxiety, pain, dissatisfaction during the procedure. Therefore, we believe that listening to music can play an adjunctive role to sedation in colonoscopy. It is a simple, inexpensive way to improve patients＇ comfort during the procedure.

The Function of Education in Codification of Radif in Iranian Dastgahi Music

The goal of this research is to investigate the ideas that functioned in shaping thought of Radif in Iranian Dastgahi music. In this regard by preparing the reasons, we pay attention to the function of education in codification of Radif. Although Iranian traditional music has long history but its codification to seven Dastgah-s and five Avaz-es in the format of Radif is attributed to Qajar Dynasty in the 19th century. In this transformation, Mirza Abdollah, Tar-Player of the Nasser al-Din Shah Period, has played an important role in final codification of Radif. Due to the truth that the past masters scrimped in music education, and Mirza Abdollah had encountered with problems to learn music, hence he has mostly cared about music education in adulthood, and it is probable that one of the reasons in collecting Gusheh-s （approximately a small piece of the Iranian Dastgahi music） and organizing them into coherent sets was making simplicity for the students to learn. Furthermore, masters who seriously and continuously have taught after Mirza Abdollah, left a narration （version） of Radif. On the other hand, definite patterns in placement of Gusheh-s and phrases of the Radif have been organized in a manner that makes educational function for it.

Music stimulus has a positive eff ect on survival and development of the larvae in swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus

The sound stimulus has a signifi cant impact on marine animals.However,many studies have focused on the negative impacts of sound on marine vertebrates.The positive impacts of sound on marine animals,especially on marine invertebrates,were rarely studied.In the present study,we evaluated the eff ects of music on the survival and development of an economically important marine invertebrate,swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus.Three pieces of classical music and a control group,i.e.,Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart(EK),Bach-Violin Concerto No.1(BV),Anonymous Romanza by Anonymous(AR),and environmental sound(EN)were used.The sound pressure received were 163-dB root mean square(RMS)re 1μPa for EK,166-dB RMS re 1μPa for BV,165-dB RMS re 1μPa for AR,44-dB RMS re 1μPa for EN,respectively.The larvae were subject to 3-h classical music transmission every day during the entire larval development period.The result showed that BV and AR signifi cantly elevated the cumulative survival rate of the larva from 3.42%±1.77%(EN)to 10.65%±1.69%(BV)and 7.12%±1.37%(AR)respectively(P<0.05).Though music did not aff ect the cumulative development time of larvae from ZoeaⅠto ZoeaⅣ,it signifi cantly increased the molting rate of megalopa from 24.00%±11.78%(EN)to 44.00%±13.06%(AR)and 46.67%±10.50%(BV)(P<0.05).Musical exposure during critical growth intervals may contribute to the survival and development of larval crustaceans.From an application point of view,music intervention is much economically feasible.The observed music eff ects imply that music could further enhance growth,welfare,and production.

Effect of music on blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate of asymptomatic individuals: A randomized controlled trial

A slight reduction of blood pressure and heart rate can reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Maintenance of the respiratory rate within the normal range has also being identified as crucial for a healthy heart. Use of Indian and western music have been considered among many preventive programmes for long time in order to risk reduction associated with cardio vascular diseases. Therefore the aim of this study is to describe the effect of Indian classical music on systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate in asymptomatic individuals aged 45 to 65 years. Methodology: A community based randomized intervention study was conducted in 252 asymptomatic individuals. The study group (n = 127) listened to a music based on Indian classical system (entire track of 22 minutes). The control group (n = 125) was kept silent for a similar time period. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate of each study participant were monitored before and after the intervention. Results: Statistically significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (8.53 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (5.8 mmHg), pulse rate (5.16 breaths per minute) and respiratory rate (2.55 per minute) were observed in the study group after listening to the music (p < 0.01). In the control group, changes observed during the period of intervention were not significant (p > 0.05). The reduction was independent of gender, age, education level, practicing a mind relaxation technique and preferred type of music of the participant. Conclusions: Listening to Indian classical music for about 22 minutes significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate of asymptomatic individuals. Hence, music may have a potential benefit in cardio vascular disease preventive programmes.

Can music improve the symptoms of stable angina? A randomized controlled trial

Worldwide, the leading cause of death is ischemic heart disease. Other than medical and surgical management, alternative therapy such as relaxing music has been identified as having an impact on reducing morbidity in ischemic heart disease. Although several studies have been conducted to find out the impact of music on pain, anxiety, heart rate and stress in myocardial ischaemia, literature on the long term impact of music on severity of symptoms associated with stable angina is very sparse. Therefore, the whole purpose of this study was to determine the long term effects of Indian music on severity of symptoms in patients with stable angina. Methodology: A single blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients of 45 to 65 years of age with stable angina. Intervention group (n = 30) listened to a music based on Indian classical system at home twice a day complementary to their regular treatment for a period of one month. Control group (n = 30) was only on their usual treatment. Both groups were assessed prior and one month after the study period for severity of symptoms based on Canadian classification of angina guidelines and their treatment. Results: Severities of symptoms (timing of the chest pain, chest pain during walking and climbing a staircase, the effect of chest pain in day to day physical activities, frequency and the number of GTN used per week and frequency of consultation a doctor for chest pain) were significantly improved in the study group (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) after intervention. However, the control group did not show any significant changes (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Systematically, regular listening of music based on Indian classical system significantly improves the severity of the stable angina symptoms. Hence music has a potential benefit in considering for use as complementary to angina treatment in reducing morbidity.

Effect of Music on State of Ischaemia in Stable Angina;a Randomized Controlled Trial

Introduction: Ischaemic heart disease is the number one cause of deaths in the world. As these patients experience severe distress due to a number of associated reasons, it is important to focus on both physiological and psychological needs of the patients in the management. Beyond the standard medical and surgical treatments, relaxation therapies such as relaxing music have been identified as having impact in reducing morbidity in ischaemic heart disease. Even though several studies have been conducted to find out the impact of music on pain, anxiety, heart rate and stress associated with myocardial ischaemia, it is hard to find literature on the long-term effects of music on ischaemia. Therefore the effort of this study was to determine the long-term effects of Indian classical music on state of ischaemia in stable angina. Methodology: A single blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients of 45 to 65 years of age with stable angina. Intervention group (n = 30) listened to a music based on Indian classical system at home twice a day complementary to their regular treatment for a period of one month. Control group (n = 30) was only on their usual treatment. Both groups were assessed before and one month after the study period for state of ischaemia based on exercise ECG results. Results: Significant improvement in state of ischaemia (p 0.05). Conclusion: Systematic, regular listening of music based on Indian classical system significantly improved the severity of the state of ischaemia associated with stable angina. Hence music therapy has a potential benefit in considering for use as complementary to angina treatment in reducing morbidity.

Effect of Music on Quality of Life in Stable Angina: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Introduction: Quality of life associated with coronary artery disease can be affected by number of factors. Even though standard treatment has improved survival of such patients, the quality of life may be less than ideal as the disease affects the physical, social, and emotional functioning of such individuals. Therefore improvement of the quality of life of the patients with coronary artery disease is vital. Though music has been identified having a potential benefit in improving quality of life for many years, researches conducted to recognize the effect of music on quality of life were sparse. Therefore the aim of this study was to determine the effect of frequent long term listening to Indian classical music on quality of life in chronic stable angina (SA) patients. Methodology: This single blind randomized clinical trial was conducted for one month. The intervention group of 30 patients listened to a music based on Indian classical system at home twice a day complementary to their regular treatment. The control group of 30 was only on their usual treatment. Both groups were assessed before and after the intervention for the quality of life by the Sinhala version of SF-36 questionnaire. Results: A statistically significant increase of scores for physical function by 16.17

印度古代艺术理论家般多利迦·韦陀罗的几部梵语论著简评

梵语艺术理论家般多利迦•韦陀罗生活于16世纪末至17世纪初。他是继婆罗多、角天之后最重要的印度古典乐舞论者之一,是非常典型的北印度乐舞理论家。他的乐舞论反映了卡塔克舞等北印度艺术表演实践。韦陀罗的三部小书《美妙拉格月升》《拉格花簇》和《拉格蔓》是其梵语代表作《乐舞论》的理论预演。韦陀罗介绍了音名、微分音、音域、基本音阶、装饰音、拉格和膜鸣乐器(鼓)的表演方式等。韦陀罗的音乐论借鉴了婆罗多、角天和罗摩摩底耶等前人的著作,但又有自己的一些创意。韦陀罗列举的波斯拉格及其相似的印度本土拉格名称,是印度音乐与外来的波斯音乐交流融合的历史见证。韦陀罗对旋转舞、脚铃声和棍棒舞等的介绍,对于我们观察当今仍在印度流行的卡塔克舞和棍棒舞等,具有重要的参考价值。韦陀罗的舞蹈二分法(规则舞和自由舞)将角天等开创的雅俗共存的论述模式推进到雅俗转换阶段,这是其《乐舞论》对印度古代舞蹈理论发展的重要历史贡献。韦陀罗是承先启后的重要乐舞论者之一,他的几部梵语乐舞论著在印度古代音乐理论史上留下了浓墨重彩的一笔。

西方古典乐:萨义德音乐批评的起点

音乐批评作为萨义德整体批评实践的关键部分对于我们认识萨义德批评的丰富性非常重要。终其一生,萨义德对“西方古典乐”怀有持久的热爱,后者构成了萨义德音乐言说的起点。在他看来,音乐不仅是静态的对象,更是与社会交织缠结的活动。因此,一般被认作是无异议的“西方古典乐”,从能指到所指都充斥着显而易见的历史性,萨义德对它的偏爱与他流亡的历史经验及由此生发的美学趣味密切相关。历史和萨义德对“西方古典乐”的上述“两个选择”成了理解萨义德音乐批评无可规避的问题,也为我们思索“古典乐”的起源及其被遗忘的过程、“西方”与“经典”的自明性关联、萨义德的动态经典观和知识分子批评家的公共责任,构筑了一个合适的“开端”。
