An Critical Interpretation On Amlapitta Nidana
Nowadays, there is a major issue because of the overuse of katu, snigdha, viruddha, abhishyandi, atyushna, vidahi, pista anna, a changed lifestyle, and indulgence in diwaswapna, ati udaka panam, chinta, and amlapitta. These causative factors also lead to vitiate pitta's dravata and Agnimandhya, which in turn produce shukhtatva and vidagdhata in ahara rasa. Therefore, the treatment of amlapitta and the prevention of its growth depend heavily on strengthening agni and following proper pathya. Amlapitta is defined as the elevated state of sourness of pitta, and it is a pathologic condition in which the pitta gets vitiated in terms of vriddhi. Kashyapa is the first person to talk about amlapitta explicitly. Virudha, adhyasana, vidahi, pittaprakopi ahara, and other nidanas of amlapitta lead to tridosha prakopa, where samana vata, pachaka pitta, and kledaka kapha are most impacted and result in agnimandya. Ashayadushti causes improper digestion of food, which leads to the formation of shuktata and unsuitable rasadi dhatus. After completing all of these steps, Amlapitta generates tiktamla udgara and hrtkantadaha. As a result, vitiating each and every tridosha yields amlapitta

A Review on Sneha Kalpana in Ayurveda
Ayurveda the science of life, uses natural resources to fulfill the fundamental objectives i.e. Swasthya Rakshanam and Vyadhi Prashamanam. Ayurveda has been given the greatest emphasis to comprehensive knowledge of drugs. This science of manufacturing drugs is divided under two branches as Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana. Bhaishajya means medicine and Kalpana means forms. Hence Bhaishajya Kalpana means branch of Ayurvedic medicine which deals with preparation of medicines by the use of herbal drugs. Bhaishajya Kalpana includes Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana as Swarasa, Kalka, Kwatha, Hima and Phanta. Bhaishajya Kalpana also includes preparation of various forms of medicine such as Churna, Guti, Vati, Ghruta Paka, Tail Paka, Lepa, Asava, Arishta etc. Sneha Kalpana is a group of products of medicated Taila and Ghruta. Quality and quantity of lipid soluble extract of medicinal ingredients varies, as per methods, types of material and ratio of material with reference to Sneha Dravya. That is why various methods of Sneha Paka are described in classical texts of Ayurveda. Classically these formulations are having a longer shelf life in comparison to other Ayurvedic herbal medication form. It is only Kalpana which is used through all four modes of administration of such formulations i.e. Pana, Abhyanga, Nasaya and Basti. So to review all these methods at a glance is main aim of this article
Thyroid Function Tests in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome: A Comprehensive Analysis
A thorough examination is required since the incidence of the complex cluster of cardiovascular risk factors known as the metabolic syndrome is rising worldwide. In a cohort of [insert number] adults, this study investigates the association between thyroid function tests (TSH, FT4, FT3) and the specific manifestations of metabolic syndrome (central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose metabolism).
Methods: Adults who fulfilled the NCEP ATP III criteria for metabolic syndrome were included in a prospective observational research that lasted two years, from October 2020 to October 2022. Clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical data were gathered, together with results of thyroid function tests and evaluations of the metabolic syndrome's constituent parts. Results: There was a positive connection between TSH and central obesity (r = 0.342, p 0.001), hypertension (r = 0.248, p = 0.004), dyslipidemia (r = 0.187, p = 0.034), and poor glucose metabolism (r = 0.215, p = 0.015). Significant correlations between TSH and central obesity (Ăź = 0.218, p = 0.009), hypertension (Ăź = 0.157, p = 0.045), and poor glucose metabolism (Ăź = 0.189, p = 0.032) were confirmed by multivariate regression analysis. Independent correlations between these components and FT4 and FT3 were not found.
Conclusion: This study highlights the substantial correlation between TSH and metabolic syndrome features, highlighting the possible contribution of thyroid dysfunction to the pathophysiology of the metabolic syndrome. The treatment of metabolic syndrome and lowering cardiovascular risk may both benefit from early detection and management of thyroid problems. To clarify underlying causes and treatment implications, additional research is require

ACUTE HEMORRHAGIC STROKE PROGNOSTIC MARKERS BASED ON SERUM FERRITIN LEVELS: A COMPREHENSIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Accurate prognostic markers are essential for the efficient management of acute haemorrhagic stroke, a serious cerebrovascular event. In order to establish serum ferritin as a prognostic biomarker, this study investigates the connection between acute haemorrhagic stroke patients' admission serum ferritin levels and outcomes.
Materials and Methodology: A cross-sectional study with 72 patients who had an acute haemorrhagic stroke was carried out, and clinical characteristics, neuroimaging results, and serum ferritin levels were examined. The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores were used to assess functional outcomes. Studies using correlation and regression statistics were conducted.
Results: When compared to patients who had positive outcomes (150.6 ng/ml), patients with negative outcomes had considerably higher blood ferritin levels (337.8 ng/ml). Elevated ferritin had a positive (r=0.756) and a negative (r=-0.709) correlation with mRS and GCS scores, respectively. Serum ferritin was found by regression analysis to be an independent predictor of decline or death (OR=1.024, p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: Severe outcomes in acute haemorrhagic stroke are correlated with elevated serum ferritin levels at admission. A potential independent predictive factor that could help with clinical decisions is serum ferritin. Interventions that aim to raise ferritin levels can potentially enhance patient outcomes, according to future research
Structural, mechanical, dielectric properties and magnetic interactions in Dy<sup>3+</sup>-substituted Co-Cu-Zn nanoferrites
Sol-gel-synthesized Co-Cu-Zn ferrite nanoparticles diluted with Dy3+ ions were investigated in terms of their structural, morphological, elastic, magnetic and dielectric properties. X-ray diffraction patterns showed the formation of a single-phase cubic spinel structure. As the concentration of Dy3+ ions was increased, the lattice length gradually increased from 8.340 to 8.545 Ă…, obeying Vegard's law. The Williamson-Hall (W-H) method was employed to observe the change in the lattice strain. Crystallite size obtained from W-H plots followed a pattern similar to that observed using the Scherrer equation. The cation distribution suggested a strong preference of Dy3+ ions for the octahedral B site while Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions were distributed over both A and B sites. The microstructures of the samples were visualized using transmission electron microscopy. Mechanical properties such as stiffness constant, longitudinal and transverse wave velocities, Young's modulus, bulk modulus, rigidity modulus, Poisson's ratio and Debye temperature were investigated by acquiring infrared spectra recorded in the range of 300 to 800 cm-1. Replacement of Fe3+ ions with the strongly magnetic Dy3+ ions increased the saturation magnetization and coercivity. Dielectric constant increased with Dy3+ substitution but decreased with applied frequency. This journal i
COMPREHENSIVE CARDIAC ASSESSMENT IN ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE PATIENTS: INTEGRATING ELECTROCARDIOGRAM AND 2-DIMENSIONAL TRANSTHORACIC ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY FOR ENHANCED DIAGNOSIS AND RISK STRATIFICATION
Acute ischemic stroke continues to be one of the top causes of death worldwide, necessitating precise diagnostic techniques for effective treatment. Due to the lack of precise markers, clinical distinction of stroke subtypes is currently difficult. Integrating cutting-edge imaging methods like 2-Dimensional Transthoracic Echocardiography (2D TTE) and Electrocardiogram (ECG) could yield insightful results.
Materials and Methodology: In the prospective observational study, we looked at 2D TTE and ECG changes in 96 patients who had an acute ischemic stroke. Within 72 hours of admission, patients were evaluated, with an emphasis on 2D TTE findings (normal, left ventricular dysfunction, mitral valve abnormalities, and aortic valve abnormalities) and ECG abnormalities.
Results: T wave inversion (30.2%), ST-segment depression (38.5%), and U waves (53.1%), among other ECG anomalies, were among the numerous. 44.8% of the cases with 2D TTE were normal, 34.3% had left ventricular dysfunction, and 14.5% had defective mitral valves. Across age categories, notable ECG and 2D TTE findings were seen, highlighting the value of thorough evaluations.
Conclusion: Combining 2D TTE and the ECG to diagnose acute ischemic stroke can reveal subtle cardiac involvement. These techniques support risk classification and subtype identification, particularly with relation to ASCVD risk factors. For accurate risk assessment and customized treatment options, routine ECG and 2D TTE evaluation is essentia
