Clinical significance of Meda and Medovaha Srotas in present scenario - A Comprehensive Study

The explanation of Sharir in Ayurvedic texts states that the existence of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala together is Sharir. Basically, there are Tridosha, Saptdhatu and Trimala. Meda is one among the Saptdhatu. The internal transport system which is used to carry these Dhatus (Parinampradh) is Srotas. Vitiation and depletion of Srotas can lead to many pathological conditions in body. If Medovaha Srotas is vitiated it will cause Medo Dushti which may be expressed as either Prameha Poorvaroopa or the Sthoulya Vyadhi. And in present era they are compared with diabetes and obesity respectively. The epidemiology of obesity and diabetes is increasing day by day and having serious effect on our current as well as upcoming generations. Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic, and its prevalence has been projected to grow by 40% in the next decade. This increasing prevalence has implications for the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and also for chronic kidney diseases (CKD) – CKJ OXFORD. In 2017, about 72 million people and 20% of the urban population were diabetic in India - international diabetes federation (IDF). Health service use and medical cost associated with obesity, diabetes and related diseases have risen dramatically and are expected to continue to grow. The above mention data necessitates throw knowledge of the basic concept of the Meda Dhatu, Medovaha Srotas. Thus the present study deals with the understanding of Meda Dhatu, Medovaha Srotas along with its Moola Sthana and the disease that may occur from its vitiation. Similar concept from the contemporary science have been analysed for a better understanding. &nbsp

Creep Transition in a Thin Rotating Disc with Rigid Inclusion

Creep stresses and strain rates  have been obtained for a thin rotating disc with inclusionusing Seth’s transition theory. Results have been discussed numerically and depicted graphically.It has been observed that radial stress has maximum value at the internal surface of the rotatingdisc made of incompressible material as compared to circumferential stress and this value ofradial stress further increases with the increase in angular speed. Strain rates have maximumvalues at the internal surface for compressible material. Rotating disc is likely to fracture bycleavage close to the inclusion at the bor

Diet and lifestyle for the prevention of the cancer care

Cancer is one of the major health problems around the globe and the number of cancer are also get larger day by day. In this 21st century 3 out 10 may get cancer, says WHO. There are several medicines available for the treatment of various types of cancer but no drug is found to be fully effective and safe. Ayurveda, the oldest Indian medicine system is known from very early times for preventing or suppressing various tumors using the natural medicine. Cancer was mentioned in Ayurveda as a Arbuda it is mentioned in detail by Acharya Sushruta. Ayurveda has mentioned various life-style carcinogens. A high fat diet, fast food, packed food, sedentary lifestyle, stress, alcohol and smoking are either causative or an aggravating factor (Nidan) in most of the cancer incidence. AaharVihar mostly plays a decisive role in ancient healing method and theories. It often plays a role in modern society. However, 30-50 percentage of all cancer cases are preventable by a healthy diet and lifestyle in accordance with the world cancer research fund (WCRF) cancer prevention

Critical analysis of Manasika Bhava in Anurjatajanya (allergic) diseases - A Survey Study

People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be. The state of mind defines ones healthy or unhealthy status. Human body and mind are always interlinked for the existence of life. Any alteration in functioning of body or mind gives formal invitation for various disorders. Ayurveda treatise has inculcated the importance of Manasika Bhava like Krodha (anger), Shoka (grief), Bhaya (fear) etc. at every influential place. In the present survey study, the inevitability of Manasika Bhava in Anurjatajanya (allergic) diseases is verified with the generated evidences. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 300 million individuals have asthma worldwide, a figure that could increase to 400 million by 2025 if trends continue. This is paralleled with a rising prevalence of skin allergies along with life threatening allergies like food allergies, drug allergies and anaphylaxis and more complex forms. This survey study end up with the result that, over 96% of the total registered allergic patients were with one or more abnormal Manasika Bhava

Advancements in wireless communications and Micro-Electro-Mechanical structures have enabled the improvement of wireless sensor networks (WSN), which in flip have fostered the emergence of a plethora of programs in diverse fields together with agriculture, healthcare supervision, and transportation systems. However, because of the strength dilemma of battery-powered sensors, these packages nonetheless face a major energy issue that save you their giant adoption. In this thesis, we contributed to conquer this challenge via several contributions. In this paper we've got surveyed the various techniques to power efficient strategies in wi-fi sensor networks

Pilonidal Sinus : Management through Guggulu Apamarga Ksharasutra

Nowadays Pilonidal Sinus (PNS) is becoming common disease in between 20-30 years of age, in men and mostly dense hairy persons. Commonly it occurs midline over the coccyx. It results in purulent discharge, pain and discomfort. In Ayurvedic practice, there are many surgeons who are practicing classical Ksharasutra management to treat PNS, which is very effective but there are some problems using classical Ksharasutra in the management of PNS, such as discomfort, burning sensation, itching and irritation due to Snuhi-ksheera. So to overcome these problems Guggulu Apamarga Ksharasutra has been used, which is very effective in curing PNS and has no complications. So patients can do their daily routine work without any pain or discomfort

Survey of Vertical Handoff Decision Criteria in LTE Cellular Networks

Vertical handover advantage brilliant importance because of the upgrades in mobility fashions by way of the Fourth era (4G) technology. A handover desire scheme in LTE networks both based totally on unmarried or multiple criteria. The wide variety of standards is right away depending on the overall handover time. In addition, the time required for deciding on a target network at some point of handover is also extended with the growth in a number of parameters. Conventional handover choice Strategies are specifically based at the unmarried parameter. But, with the advent of heterogeneous Wi-Fi networks, the overall performance of those unmarried parameter choice schemes is highly decreased. Consequently, researchers introduce multirequirements handover selection schemes. those enhancements are restricted to specific situations and for this reason do now not offer help for mounted mobility. Further, numerous schemes are proposed

A randomized, comparative, open clinical trial for evaluating the efficacy of PP/JLN/107/09-10 Syrup in the management of Functional Constipation

Context: Functional constipation which has no underlying organic causes is difficult to be allopathic treatment for long term due to its side effects and undeniable effect, thus a natural balanced and compatible formulation needs to be validated. Objectives: Current study aimed to assess a poly-herbal formulation in management of functional constipation. Material and Methods: This study was 28 days, two armed, randomized, open labeled, prospective clinical study. 60 clinically confirmed cases of functional constipation patients randomized to receive orally either 2 teaspoonful of PP/JLN/107/09-10 Syrup or 1 teaspoonful of 5- 6 gm of Isabgol powder. Results were analyzed as per Rome II criteria and other associated symptoms like headache, acidity, belching, barborgysmy, flatulence and abdominal distension or bloating which are recorded on VAS score. Results: PP/JLN/107/09-10 scored over Isabgol on four out of six parameters of Rome II Criteria viz., frequency of bowel movement, straining at defecation, lumpy I hardstool formation, feeling of incomplete evacuation, feeling of ano-rectal blockage and manual maneuvers (p < 0.001). Trial drugs showed comparable effects (p > 0.05) in reducing the mean scores of associated symptoms like headache, acidity, belching, borgorgysmy, flatulence and abdominal distension. However, trial drug was found to perform statistically significant result in more number of parameters in comparison to Isabgol. Conclusion: PP/JLN/107/09-10 was found to be effective and safe in reliving functional constipation

Emerging and re-emerging viral infections in India

The number of outbreaks have  progressively increased since many years in India. In this era of globalization and rapid international travel, any infectious disease in one country can become a potential threat to the entire globe. Outbreaks of Nipah, Zika, Crimean- Congo Haemorrhagic Fever and Kyasanur Forest Disease and have been reported since a decade and now we are facing COVID 19 pandemic. One of the challenges in the prevention of these outbreaks is that as the cases decrease, the felt need declines, the public demand decreases and the mitigation responses get overshadowed by the need of emergency responses elsewhere. The One Health approach is a movement to promote alliance between medicine field, veterinary medicine and environmental sciences to upgrade the health of humans, animals, and ecosystem. The data in this article is compiled from different websites and publications of World Health Organization (WHO), Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP), grey literature and media. There is an urgent need for better surveillance and disease burden assessments in the country and to gain detailed insights into vector biology, factors of environment influencing the diseases, mapping of endemic areas, strengthen intersectoral coordination, infection control practices, and ensure use of Personal Protective Equipment’s (PPE) and availability of drugs and vaccines to handle the outbreaks in a better way

Carpal alignment in distal radial fractures

BACKGROUND: Carpal malalignment following the malunited distal radial fracture is described to develop as an adaptation to realign the hand to the malunion. It worsens gradually after healing of the fracture due to continued loading of the wrist. It is also reported to develop during the immobilization itself rather than after fracture healing. The present work was aimed to study the natural course and the quantitative assessment of such adaptive carpal realignment following distal radial fracture. METHODS: In a prospective study, 118 distal radial fractures treated with different modalities were followed-up with serial radiographs for a year for assessment of various radiological parameters. RESULTS: Two patterns of carpal malalignment were identified depending upon the effective radio-lunate flexion (ERLF) measured on pre-reduction radiographs. The midcarpal malalignment was seen in 98 radial fractures (83%) with the lunate following the dorsiflexed fracture fragment and a measured ERLF of less than 25°. The second pattern of radio-carpal malalignment showed the fracture fragment to dorsiflex without taking the lunate with a measured ERLF of more than 25°. The scaphoid did not follow the fracture fragment in both the patterns of malalignment. CONCLUSION: It is better to assess distal radial fractures for any wrist ligamentous injury on the post-reduction film with the restored radial anatomy than on the pre-reduction film since most carpal malalignments get corrected with the reduction of the fracture. Similar carpal malalignment reappear with the redisplacement of the fracture as seen in pre-reduction radiographs and develops during the immobilization rather than as a later compensatory mechanism for the malunion
