Concept of Sushrutokta Guda Shareera

Swastha Rakshana and Vikara Prashamana are the prime goals of Ayurveda. Knowledge about structural and functional aspect of Shareera is considered as a key to reach these goals. Guda is one such structural entity explained in Ayurveda, which play a role in elimination of Pureesha and Apana Vata. In Basti Chikitsa, one of the prime treatment modality of Vata medicine usually administered through Guda Marga only. Hence knowledge of Guda is helpful in understanding the physiology of Pureesha Bahirgamana and concept of Basti Chikitsa. In this article an attempt is made to understand the concept of Sushrutokta Guda Shareera

A comprehensive study on regional anatomy of Urdhwa Shaakhaagata Siramarma by cadaver dissection and their applied anatomy

Introduction: Marma is considered as the vital point in the body where Mamsa, Sira, Snayu, Asthi, Sandhi along with Prana resides. Siramarma is one such category based on the predominant Marmavasthu. According to Susruta, they are forty one in number. Among them four are present in Urdhwashaakhaa, i.e, two Urvi and two Lohitaksha (one on each side). Both of these are Vaikalyakaramarma. Injury to Urvi Marma causes Shonithakshaya which leads to Sakthishosha, while, injury to Lohithaksha leads to Lohithakshaya which causes Pakshaghata or Maranam. Methods: Collection of literary review on the Urdhwa Shaakhagata Sira Marma and its Vidhalakshanas from various books, journals, previous work done and its Vidhalakshanas are analyzed. Anatomical structures found in the regions of Urdhwa Shaakhaagata Sira Marmas will be confirmed with the help of cadaver dissectionin six bodies. Results: The regional anatomy of Urvimarma is considered as the middle of arm and Lohitaksha Marma is considered as the distal part of axilla. The Vidha Lakshanas are analyzed with applied aspect of these regions. Interpretation & Conclusion: Urvimarma is located in the middle of arm. The predominant Siravasthu in this region is brachial vessels, basilica vein, cephalic vein and profunda brachial vessels. Lohitaksha Marma is located on the distal part of axilla, the predominant Siravasthu in the region are third part of axillary artery and its braches and axillary vein

Smart Frame - A Location Sensing Picture Frame using IOT

To make communication easier, We have created a IOT Location Sensing Picture Frame. A decorative item which acts smart to tell the user the location of their family member. Each family member has a photo of themselves in the picture frame. Each photo has a corresponding strip of lights that is controlled by an app which runs in the background of the designated family member’s smart phone. The lights are programmed to display colors in a spectrum ranging from red to green. Even the app is designed in such a way that a panic alert can be sent to the emergency contact and alert will be depicted in the photo frame with red lights and a buzzer

ACCURACY OF ORAL MUCOSAL MEASUREMENTS USING CBCT AND BARIUM EMBEDDED DENTURE BASE

Objective The dimensions and relationships of the periodontal structures are vital in various dental specialties. Paper describes a simple, novel, noninvasive and a promising technique which illustrates and validates the possibility of radiographically visualizing and metrically assessing oral hard and soft tissues of the periodontium. Materials and Methods A total of 14 periodontally healthy, dentate subjects with no severe crowding, rotation, or spacing in the maxilla, and no history of palatal disease or surgery participated in this study. Maxillary impression of the patient made using additional polyvinyl impression material. Maxillary CBCT images of the patients with the barium incorporated denture base in place were obtained using Carestream CS 3D 9300 C machine with the FOV of 5X10 cm at 90 Kvp, 6.3 mA, scanning time 8 secs and angle of rotation 270 degrees. Analysis was done using CS 3D Dental Imaging Software. Results A strong correlation in the measurements of thickness of the palatal masticatory mucosa by both methods (r=0.90; p<0.01). Mean palatal masticatory mucosa thickness was 2.74 mm (range: 2.0 to 6.03 mm) on CBCT and on physical measurements it was found to be 2.6 mm (range: 2.0 to 5.03 mm). Conclusion Barium sulphate dry, white, chalky powder, appears white (radio-opaque) on the X-ray film. Its applications in medicine include barium meal a diagnostic test used to detect abnormalities of the esophagus, stomach and small bowel using X-ray imaging. This coherent property of radio opacity of barium helped us visualize and analyse the oral hard and soft tissues on maxillary CBCT images as well

Design and Fabrication of Earth Auger with trolley

The purpose of this project is to design and fabricate an earth auger to overcome limitations on the existing earth augers. The earth auger is designed by introducing the trolley system. The project will be successful in providing the earth auger which is operator friendly and can be transported from one place to another by the single operator. The simplified mechanisms are implemented in the project including the winches and pulley systems for the feed and movement of the drill bit. The clamping systems are introducing to increase the stability and to decrease the vibrations which keeps the operator to be in a distance during the operations for the purpose of safety. Therefore, this project is made to reduce the fault and to improve the safety measures as well as the usability
