EFFECT OF MUSTAKADI VATI IN THE MANAGEMENT OF GRAHANI DOSHA IN CHILDREN – A CASE STUDY

BACKGROUND: Grahani is the Adhishthana of Agni and Agni Dushti is the main reason of the disease. The disease Grahani Dosha is very commonly seen in present pediatric practice and it aggravates to form a critical condition if the proper care is not taken. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A 8-years-old male patient of Grahani Dosha with complaints of defecation just after taking meal, Bowel frequency 3-4 times/day, irregular bowel habit, loss of appetite, generalized weakness, occasional pain in abdomen, slow weight gain for 5-6 months was treated by Mustakadi Vati in three divided doses of 10 Vati per day after meal for 8 weeks with SukhoshnaJala. RESULT: Marked improvement was found after 8 weeks of treatment i.e., bowel frequency reduced to 1 time/day, no weakness, abdominal pain relieved, 2 kg body weight gained. Hematological parameters along with routine and microscopic investigations of stool and urine were done before and after the treatment, all were found normal. Mala Parikshana was done before treatment which showed sinking of stool in water and foul smell and after 8 weeks of treatment again Mala Parikshana was done where floating of stool in water and no foul smell were found. CONCLUSION: This case study has shown that Mustakadi Vati is effective in improving the symptoms of Grahani Dosha. Marked improvements were found in all the symptoms of Grahani Dosha in Children

Evaluation of Hepatoprotective activity of fruits of Sesbania grandiflora L. Pers against thiocetamide and ranitidine induced hepatotoxicity in rats

The Petroleum ether extract of Sesbania grandiflora L. pers fruits showed a significant dose dependent (100mg, 200mg/kg p.o.) protective effect against thioacetamide and ranitidine induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar albino rats. The degree of protection was measured by using biochemical parameters like Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Total bilirubin (BRN), Total Cholesterol (TC), Total protein and Histopathological alterations. The fruit extract completely prevented the toxic effects of Thioacetamide and Ranitidine on the above serum parameters. The petroleum ether extract of Sesbania grandiflora L. pers fruits produced significant protectio

Sleptogenesis

We propose that the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe can naturally arise from a net asymmetry generated in the sleptonic sector at fairly low reheat temperatures. The best candidate is indeed the right-handed sneutrino. The initial asymmetry in the sneutrino sector can be produced from the decay of the inflaton, and is subsequently transferred into the Standard Model (s)lepton doublet via the decay of the sneutrino. The active sphalerons then reprocess the leptonic asymmetry into the baryonic asymmetry. The marked feature of this scenario is that the lepton asymmetry is decoupled from the neutrino Yukawa sector. We exhibit that our scenario can be embedded within models which seek the origin of a tiny mass for neutrinos.Comment: 7 revtex pages, 2 figures (uses axodraw).

Micro Irrigation Management in Cotton

Not AvailableIndia has the second largest net irrigated area in the world, after China. The irrigation efficiency under canal irrigation is not more than 40% and for ground water schemes, it is 69%. The net irrigated area in the country is 53.5 Mha, which is about 38% of the total 'sown area. Even all the water resources have been tapped for irrigation, almost 50% area will still remain rainfed. But, whether it is irrigated or rainfed agriculture water holds the key for enhancing and sustaining agricultural production. Since, sustainability and enhanced productivity are the need of the hour, the focus has to shift from crops to cropping systems that are more input use efficient going with resource conservation technologies. Out of the 250 cropping systems in India, 30 are the most common ones and out of them, several are well fitted under drip and sprinkler irrigation system.Not Availabl

Not AvailableSoil erosion is viewed as a major process of land degradation in rubber-growing areas under hot moist sub-humid to humid agro-ecological region of Kerala and Karnataka in India. The bench mark survey with geo-reference at 121 locations was carried out with the objective of deriving soil-water conservation strategies in the extensive rubber-growing areas of Kerala and Karnataka (5.2 lakh hectares with productivity of 1514 kg/hectare). In the present study, Rainfall erosivity for 7 locations (considering monthly rainfall 1971 to 2007) and soil erodibility (Epipedons of 121 bench mark soils) were used. Monthly rainfall data, for the period 1971 to 2007 were used to compute the Modified Fournier index (MFI) The results showed that June, July and August receive maximum rainfall with very high Modified Fournier index (>160) from 433.4 (Trivandrum) to 2641.2 MJ mm ha−1 h−1 y−1 (Kannur) with an increasing from southward to northward. The soil erodibility (K) for five major soil subgroups of humults were 0.15 to 0.24 indicating that these soils are weakly susceptible to water erosion. Majority of the area (45.73% of TGA) is susceptible to extremely strong erosion followed by very strong erosion on 25.40 per cent of TGA and strong erosion in 22.28 per cent of TGA. The soil loss estimations can serve as effective inputs in prioritizing soil conservation strategies and management in rubber growing areas of Kerala and Karnataka.Not Availabl
