    The aim of Ayurveda is “Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshana” and “Aturasya Vikara Prashamana,” it is achieved on the bases of various concepts of Ayurveda. Nidana is one of them. To cope with the fast developing field of medicine many Ayurvedic concepts are to be reviewed, also must be updated and presented so as to fulfill the lacunae in diagnosis and treatment of the disease. With this background, the study “A conceptual study on Charakokta Nidana of Visarpa with special Reference to present day Aharaja and Viharaja” was carried out. All the skin diseases including Visarpa can be prevented if effective care is taken in terms of avoidance of predisposing factors. Since it is not very sure about the exact causative factors of Visarpa, so this Observational study may help to identify the most commonly involved Nidana. Nidana in causation of Visarpa which in turn may help for initiating preventive measures. Nidana of Visarpa explained in Charaka Samhita still holds good in present day life style

    The present study reveals the correlation of zooplankton productivity of lotic and lentic water ecosystem. The biological rhythms are useful tool to determine the zooplankton production. Planktons enrich the trophic level of lentic and lotic ecosystems. The relationship of primary productivity of any aquatic ecosystem depends on the biological biodiversity. Estimation of zooloplankton productivity of any water system helps to analyse its richness of species as biological population which are sustainable in it by the adequate amount physicochemical parameters. It is observed in most of the water system the quality of physical, chemical and biological phenomena are depends directly or indirectly correlation to establish diverse life as suitable habitat. To identify the current problems on lentic and lotic water system correlation studies will be more helpful, it is need of hour to give more attention on limnology because most of the biodiversity polluted due to industrialisation and anthropology. To develop advanced monitoring tools to address it on time to time problems of water system as key indicators and to conservation strategies towards the sustainable developments

    Background: Urolithiasis is a medical condition that, despite substantial research in the field of urology, has yet to find a cure within the allopathic medical approach. The process of stone development, known as nephrolithiasis, can occur within the kidney or any segment of the urinary tract, encompassing the ureters and bladder. Material and Methods: The seeds of Cassia auriculata (Linn.) were obtained in June 2021 from Mettukadai hamlet, located in the Erode District of Tamilnadu, India. The herbarium of the plant was meticulously assembled, verified, and afterwards deposited as a voucher specimen. The voucher specimen was retained within the college premises for future reference. Results: The current investigation involved conducting a preliminary phytochemical analysis on the ethanolic seed extract of Cassia auriculata Linn. The research revealed the existence of many phytochemical constituents, including Alkaloids, Flavanoids, Carbohydrate, Sterols, Phytosterols, Phenols, Terpenoids, Amino acids, and Anthraquinones. The acute toxicity experiments revealed that rats exhibited tolerance to a maximum dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight, and no discernible alterations in behavior were detected across all experimental groups. Hence, fractions equivalent to one-fourth and one-eighth of the maximum tolerated dose of 200 mg/kg body weight were selected for subsequent investigations. Conclusion: In summary, the findings suggest that the application of an ethanolic seed extract derived from Cassia auriculata Linn effectively decreased the progression of urinary stone formation. Additionally, it appears that the efficacy of the treatment impact surpasses that of its preventative counterpart
