STRESS, A SELF GENERATED PROBLEM-AN AYURVEDIC APPROACH

In the modern era, the high-tech communication facilities, rapid industrialization, sophisticated life style and extensive use of computers have made lives much easier but they are blamed for making the life stressed. It is estimated that 80% of all modern diseases have their origin in stress. Stress and health are closely linked. Constant exposure to stress leads to psycho-somatic disorders affecting immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems. The diseases linked to stress includes heart disease, asthma, allergies, hypertension, diabetes and even cancer. In view of the changing concepts of health and diseases and with the emergence of modern health hazards, attention has been drawn to the holistic concept of Ayurveda. Ayurveda proclaims that the main purpose of human birth is to attain Purusharthas -Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. To achieve these aims, one needs a healthy body and healthy mind. Ayurveda considers body and mind as inter-related and inter-dependent to each other. Dhi, Dhairya and Atmadi vignynana plays a very important role in the attainment of healthy mind and it in turn contributes a healthy body. Any factor which adversely affects the Sareera, Indriya, Satwa and Athma may lead to ill health either at somatic or psychic level. This review tries to explain how the individuals himself is responsible for stress

Lung Lesion Extraction Using Histogram Binning Based Automatic Segmentation Approach

Lung Lesion Extraction becomes the crucial part in the lung cancer diagnosis. The accurate segmentation of lung lesion from computerized axial tomography (CAT) scans is important for lung cancer diagnosis and research. A novel toboggan based growing automatic segmentation approach (TBGA) with a three-step framework is used for lung lesion segmentation. The initial seed point in the lung lesion was first automatically selected using an improved toboggan method for the subsequent 3D lesion segmentation. Then, the lesion was extracted by an automatic growing algorithm with multi constraints. Finally, the segmentation result was optimized by a lung lesion refining method. By using this lung lesion segmentation algorithm better performance will be obtained. The combination of TBGA and adaptive histogram binning, have similar or slightly better accuracy than previously obtained TBGA results on same-center training and evaluation. In conclusion, we believe that the novel HBBAS can achieve robust, efficient and accurate lung lesion segmentation in CT images automatically
