    Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can cause joint pain and damage throughout the body. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more on joints. As per Ayurvedic science Rheumatoid Arthritis sign and symptoms resemblance with Aamvata. Aamvata is the disease caused by impairment of Agni, formation of Ama and vitiation of Vatadosha. There is limited treatment in modern science for rheumatoid arthritis. Ayurveda treatment has the best result for Amavata. So in this case study Ayurveda treatment has used to cure Aamvata

    Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder of skin, results in hyper proliferation of the skin. It is a chronic skin disease characterized by dry skin and raised, rough, red areas on the skin covered with fine silvery scales. A clear skin description is available in Charaka Samhita under Kushtha. Ayurved management is quite effective in Psoriasis as compared to modern treatment. The line of treatment in present given study is Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa. Virechana therapy followed by internal medicinal treatment is considered as good management of skin disorder

    Third-party apps square measure a significant reason for the recognition and addictiveness of Facebook. Sadly, hackers have accomplished the potential of exploitation apps for spreading malware and spam. As we discover that a minimum of thirteen of apps in our knowledge square measure malicious. So far, the analysis community has targeted on detective work malicious posts and campaigns. During this paper, we have a tendency to raise the question: Given a Facebook application, will we have a tendency to confirm if it's malicious? Our key contribution is in developing FRAppE?Facebook?s Rigorous Application authority the primary tool targeted on detective work malicious apps on Facebook. To develop FRAppE, we have a tendency to use info gathered by perceptive the posting behavior of 111K Facebook apps seen across 2.2 million users on Facebook. First, we have a tendency to establish a collection of options that facilitate U.S. distinguish malicious apps from benign ones. For instance, we discover that malicious apps typically share names with different apps, and that they usually request less permission than benign apps. Second, investment these distinctive options, we have a tendency to show that FRAppE will discover malicious apps with ninety nine accuracy

    Antioxidant and spermatozoa: a complex story- A review

    Get PDF
    The artificial insemination is a common practice in domestic animals, but the use of frozen semen compromises the fertility of goat spermatozoa based on pregnancy rates from AI. This could be due to a poor resistance of goat spermatozoa to cryopreservation stresses compared to sperm from other domesticated mammals. Lipid peroxidation caused by reactive oxygen species limits the success in this species. Reports revealed that inclusion of antioxidants in cryopreservation media improved quality of semen against LPO. Moreover, inclusion of enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants (vitamin C, glutathione reduced etc) in diluents at appropriate concentration can help in holding the semen at refrigeration temperature for many days

    Soil biological properties as influenced by long-term manuring and fertilization under sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) -wheat (Triticum aestivum) sequence in Vertisols

    The effect of long-term manuring and fertilization on soil biological properties was studied under the long term fertilizer experiment on sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] -wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) sequence conducted on Vertisols. The treatments comprised 50% RDF, 100% RDF, 150% RDF,100% RDF (-S), 100% RDF + 2.5 kg Zn/ ha to wheat crop only, 100% RD of NP, 100% RD of N, 100% RDF + FYM @ 10 tonnes/ha, 100% RDF + S @ 37.5 kg/ ha, FYM @ 10 tonnes/ha, 75% RDF and control. The assessment of soil biological properties at 40 and 70 days after sowing revealed that, significantly highest CO2 evolution was recorded at 70 DAS of sorghum under 100% RDF + FYM @ 10 tonnes/ ha ( 66.82 mg/ 100 kg). Soil microbial biomass carbon was also influenced significantly with the combined application of NPK+FYM (278.9 mg/ kg). The soil enzyme activity, viz. dehydrogenase (55.01 µg TPF/g/24 hr), urease (47.9 mg NH4/kg/ 24 hr) and cellulase (52.23 µg glucose/g/24 hr) were significantly influenced with the application of 100% RDF + FYM @ 10 tonnes/ha. Similarly, the application of 100% RDF + FYM @ 10 tonnes/ha recorded significantly higher grain yield of sorghum

    Ayurveda management of Osteo Arthritis (Sandhigata Vata) - A Case Study

    Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the end of your bone wears down overtime. In Ayurveda osteoarthritis correlate to Sandhigat Vata. The common sign and symptoms of this disease is present in the form of Shoola, Shotha, Vatapoornadriti Sparsha and difficulty in flexion and extension of Sandhi. In modern science the available treatment is use of NSAID, Calcium supplement and finally replacement therapy. Due to this there are large no of patients suffering from this disease come towards Ayurveda. Ayurveda treatment by its Chikitsa Siddhant gives remarkable relief in osteoarthritis. In this case study a 60 yrs patient suffering from osteoarthritis of both knee joint got good relief

    Towards understanding the myometrial physiome: approaches for the construction of a virtual physiological uterus

    Premature labour (PTL) is the single most significant factor contributing to neonatal morbidity in Europe with enormous attendant healthcare and social costs. Consequently, it remains a major challenge to alleviate the cause and impact of this condition. Our ability to improve the diagnosis and treatment of women most at risk of PTL is, however, actually hampered by an incomplete understanding of the ways in which the functions of the uterine myocyte are integrated to effect an appropriate biological response at the multicellular whole organ system. The level of organization required to co-ordinate labouring uterine contractile effort in time and space can be considered immense. There is a multitude of what might be considered mini-systems involved, each with their own regulatory feedback cycles, yet they each, in turn, will influence the behaviour of a related system. These include, but are not exclusive to, gestational-dependent regulation of transcription, translation, post-translational modifications, intracellular signaling dynamics, cell morphology, intercellular communication and tissue level morphology. We propose that in order to comprehend how these mini-systems integrate to facilitate uterine contraction during labour (preterm or term) we must, in concert with biological experimentation, construct detailed mathematical descriptions of our findings. This serves three purposes: firstly, providing a quantitative description of series of complex observations; secondly, proferring a database platform that informs further testable experimentation; thirdly, advancing towards the establishment of a virtual physiological uterus and in silico clinical diagnosis and treatment of PTL

    Atomically thin boron nitride: a tunnelling barrier for graphene devices

    Get PDF
    We investigate the electronic properties of heterostructures based on ultrathin hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) crystalline layers sandwiched between two layers of graphene as well as other conducting materials (graphite, gold). The tunnel conductance depends exponentially on the number of h-BN atomic layers, down to a monolayer thickness. Exponential behaviour of I-V characteristics for graphene/BN/graphene and graphite/BN/graphite devices is determined mainly by the changes in the density of states with bias voltage in the electrodes. Conductive atomic force microscopy scans across h-BN terraces of different thickness reveal a high level of uniformity in the tunnel current. Our results demonstrate that atomically thin h-BN acts as a defect-free dielectric with a high breakdown field; it offers great potential for applications in tunnel devices and in field-effect transistors with a high carrier density in the conducting channel.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
