EFFICACY AND SAFETY EVALUATION OF SESA OIL AND SESA CAPSULE IN DIFFERENT HAIR DISORDERS

Background: Hair loss can cause psychological stress to the patient. It may be prevented if early treatment is started. A holistic approach to stop hair fall would include not only therapeutic intervention but also an active search for associated nutritional deficits. Aim: Purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SESA oil and capsule in different hair disorders. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Ayurved and Research Institute. Totally 40 individuals, (12 women and 28 men) with alopecia were enrolled. All the patients were advised to use SESA oil and SESA capsule as directed. Results: The efficacy was assessed on every monthly follow-up for 3 months. Patients showed a marked decrease in hair fall and increase in regeneration of hair. They also showed improvement in psychological condition and secondary parameters of hair disorders. There were no adverse reactions documented, neither reported nor observed, during the entire study period. Conclusion: Therefore, it may be concluded that SESA oil and capsule are clinically effective and safe therapeutic regimens for the treatment of different hair disorders

Control of single-wall-nanotube field-effect transistors via indirect long-range optically induced processes

We observe significant changes in the response of single-wall-carbon-nanotube-based field-effect transistors upon photoexcitation in the presence of optically active conjugated polymer network. The primary features observed are in the form of an increase in the current in the depletion mode upon photoexcitation. Pulsed measurements indicate that the transistor enters the depleted state prior to the rise in current brought about by the transfer of the photogenerated carriers from the semiconducting polymer to the nanotube under depletion bias

Numerical identification of initial temperatures in heat equation with dynamic boundary conditions

We investigate the inverse problem of numerically identifying unknown initial temperatures in a heat equation with dynamic boundary conditions whenever some overdetermination data is provided after a final time. This is a backward parabolic problem which is severely ill-posed. As a first step, the problem is reformulated as an optimization problem with an associated cost functional. Using the weak solution approach, an explicit formula for the Fr\'echet gradient of the cost functional is derived from the corresponding sensitivity and adjoint problems. Then the Lipschitz continuity of the gradient is proved. Next, further spectral properties of the input-output operator are established. Finally, the numerical results for noisy measured data are performed using the regularization framework and the conjugate gradient method. We consider both one- and two-dimensional numerical experiments using finite difference discretization to illustrate the efficiency of the designed algorithm. Aside from dealing with a time derivative on the boundary, the presence of a boundary diffusion makes the analysis more complicated. This issue is handled in the 2-D case by considering the polar coordinate system. The presented method implies fast numerical results

Jyotismati Taila and Ashtamangal Ghrita Nasya in the management of Mental Retardation - A Comparative Study

Mental retardation is still elusive to researchers due to multidimensionality of psychological, medical, educational and social aspects, which alters mental functions and capability. Mental sub capability divided in 4 categories, Mild, Moderate, Severe and Profound. Chief aim of management of mental retardation is to make child more capable of performing common activities of everyday life by positive improvement in mental sub-capability. Mental retardation required multidimensional management approach. Present study focused on medicinal intervention, particularly analysis of comparative effectiveness of selected drug formulations (Astamangalghrita and Jyotismatitaila) from classical text of Ayurveda. Study design with the aims to compare the effectiveness of Jyotismatitaila and Astamangal Ghrita Nasya on Mental retardation. Assessment were based on Mental Status Score and IQ score taken before starting of treatment and after completion of treatment in both group. Obtained data was analyzed statistically. In this study, from result we conclude that both drugs are effective to improve Mental Status parameter and in IQ, but higher percentage and significance wise Jyotismati Taila had better result than Astamangal Ghrita Nasya
