A CASE STUDY ON APPLICATION OF KSHARASOOTRA IN PILONIDAL SINUS

Pilonidal means appertaining to a nest of hair. Pilonidal sinus extends into the subcutaneous planes as an infected track. This occurs predominantly in males at a ratio of 3- 4:1. Incidence of is about 26 per 100,000 population. Disease mainly seen in late teens to early twenties. Sedentary life style and obesity are the contributing factors. It can be correlated with Salyaja nadivrana in Ayurveda and treatment mentioned is Ksharasootra application. In case of surgical treatment main complications are recurrence and post operative infection and wide excision of skin which will take long time to heal. Kshara karma is one of the important parasurgical procedure and Kshara sootra is an effective treatment in case of pilonidal sinus. Kshara sootra helps for cutting, curetting and healing of the tract faster. Kshara is having antimicrobial action so chance of infection is very rare. A case report of pilonidal sinus treated at Central Research Institute, cheruthuruthy is discussed here. Kshara sootra (prepared with Snuhiksheera, Apamarga kshara and Haridra), application was done after preoperative procedures and weekly thread change was done till tract was cut open completely followed by dressing with Jathyadi ghritham. Internally Chiruvilwadi kashaya, Triphala guggulu and Guggulupanchapala choornam was given. Externally sitz bath with Thriphala kashaya daily three times and dressing with sterile pad. Symptoms like pain, discharge, size of wound, unit cutting time was assessed throughout the treatment. Pain and discharge was reduced around 2-3 weeks. Got complete cure around 2 months. Ksharasootra application was found to be effective in pilonidal sinus

MANGO STARCH: ITS USE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is tropical fruit with high nutritional value. The aim of present work was to isolate the starch from black variety of mango and evaluate the physicochemical as well as functional properties. Starch is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries for various applications. These industries depend on crops that are also the traditional sources of food resulting high demands with consequence economic implications. The results showed that the moisture content (14.93%) was higher while ash content (0.12%) was low. Amylose content was 35.06%. It was observed that the onset gelatinization temperature of the starch ranged from 50°C whereas, the conclusion gelatinization temperature was from 91-92.5°C. The starch show adequate properties and could be alternative source for the production of industrial products that may require starch.Â

Real-Time Camera Tracking of Augmented Reality in Landmarks Environments

AbstractAugmented Reality is the hybrid of real world and virtual reality objects, where the system generated graphical objects are mixtured into the real world. AR will create the illusion that virtual and computer-generated objects are existing in the real world. It is completely graphical experience that is united with real world circumstances. Here, the landmark has acquired as an input of the real time video image file by eyesight-based camera parameter approximation methods by using SFM (STRUCTURE FROM MOTION) technique. In this paper, we are going to superimpose real time video images of landmark with virtual system generated graphical video image. These SFM method which are already discussed earlier in some of the preceding papers does not work in practical time applications because of its excessive costness. But here, in this method we have achieved quick and perfect landmark estimation based on SFM and we can obtain the stereoscopic structure of a landmark by this method
