Puberty - An Ayurvedic care

The functionality of Ayurveda reproductive system in women is initiated by onset of menstruation is menarche. The peak time being 12 years to 16 years, these are probable ages. There may be slight variation in individual cases because of age, that can be influenced by specific Ahara and Arogya. It is only in our country refers to the phase specific practices based on religion, community, geographical, area the practices differ. But these practices have root in Ayurveda. A playful girl menstruates for first time though indicative of reproductive system. Thus this period requires a special care, which could be a simple household remedy or specific nutritious food based on resources of local ate. There is Ayurvedic text refers to the ad vocation of regime. This article discusses the relevance’s of such practices. Further suggest simpler regime to enhance the further growth and development of individual. And also focus on the medical conditions occurs during this period. It is also important to give psychological support

Effect of Isolated and Combined Practice of Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda on Distant Vision among Myopia

Myopia or shortsightedness is the most common refractive error of the eye. A recent study conducted at National Eye Institute shows the prevalence of myopia from 25% in 1971 to a whooping 41.6% in 1999 -2004. Present study was done to analyse the efficacy of Yoga Therapy and Ayurvedic Medicine on distant vision among myopics. 30 subjects were randomly selected for the study from SHES Ayurvedic Medical College OPD, Kalaburagi. 30 subjects were grouped in 3 experimental groups. First group were administered Ayurvedic medicines, second group was selected for Yoga therapy, and third group was advised Yogasana and Ayurvedic therapy. First group was given Triphala Ghrita and Pratimarsha Nasya with Abhijeeta Taila for a period of 8 weeks. Second group was selected for Trataka for a period of 8 weeks. Training was given for 6 days in a week, 15 minutes per day. Third group received combined Ayurveda and Yoga therapy. Snellen’s chart was the scale used to record the distant vision before and after the treatment. Good Response was seen in Group C (Yoga + Ayurveda) as compared to Group A (Ayurveda) and Group B (Yoga)

Nutritional diet in Balyavasta - An Ayurvedic Perspective

In Ashtanga Ayurveda, Kaumarya Bhritya has been considered as important specialty. Kaumarya Bhritya deals with the proper growth and development of the healthy child as well as treatment of the diseased child. Nutrition plays central role in growth and development of the child. Initial 6 months the baby is nourished with exclusive breast feeding, later periods only breast milk is not sufficient to provide the nutritional needs of growing baby. After 6 months, introduction of food supplements (semi-solid foods) along with breast feeding is necessary (to provide adequate and appropriate supplements) for proper growth and development and to prevent malnutrition. Introduce fruits and vegetables, which are rich source of macro and micro nutrients, hence help in growth and development of child, Prevent many diseases. After two years start normal diet. So Ayurveda gives importance on good nutrition at every stage of life, in order to maintain health. This article highlights Ayurvedic concepts of nutritional practice in Balyavasta

Yoga and Ayurveda based conceptual study on role of Neti Karma in Eye Diseases

Yoga and Ayurveda are the unique sciences of antiquity. Both were developed and practiced in similar circumstances with similar objectives in the same land. Both are based on similar concept of human existence. Currently there is an emerging trend towards the holistic approach to the health related problems. The study focuses on the role of Netikarma in eye diseases based on Yoga and Ayurveda concepts. The study aims to reveal the facts on the benefits of Netikarma w.s.r to eye diseases based on the concepts explained in Yoga and Ayurveda Shastra. Ayurveda and Yoga both accepts Panchajnanendriyas i.e., sense organs. Eye is considered to be superior amongst the sense organs. In Astanga Hridaya it is said that “All efforts should be made to protect our eyes because for the blind man day and night are the same.” Yoga shastra describes six purificatory measures (Shat Karma) as the means of Nadi Shodhana. Among the Shatkarmas, Trataka and Neti are said to bring clear vision. Therefore this study is taken up to understand the mode of action of Netikarma in eye disorders

HARMONIZING TEXT AND AUDIO: AI-POWERED EMOTION RECOGNITION AND SENTIMENT ANALYSIS

Abstract In the realm of human-computer interaction, emotion recognition and sentiment analysis play a pivotal role in understanding user experiences and enhancing communication between individuals and machines. This research paper delves into the integration of text and audio-based approaches for emotion recognition and sentiment analysis using advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. By harmonizing these modalities, we aim to develop a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of users' emotional states and sentiments. The proposed methodology leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques for processing textual data and audio signal processing methods for analyzing audio inputs. Our AI-driven framework employs machine learning algorithms, including deep learning models, to capture nuanced emotions and sentiments expressed in both text and audio content. The synergy between these modalities promises to enrich the accuracy and reliability of emotion recognition and sentiment analysis systems. Through experiments and evaluations on diverse datasets, we showcase the effectiveness of the hybrid approach in capturing complex emotional cues. The results demonstrate enhanced accuracy and cross-modal validation, highlighting the potential for real-world applications in fields such as customer sentiment analysis, virtual assistants, and affective computing. This article introduces a hybrid model that combines machine learning and deep learning methodologies for the purpose of emotion identification in text. The model leverages Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) as its deep learning components, while also incorporating Support Vector Machines (SVM) as a machine learning technique. To assess the effectiveness of this approach, the model's performance is gauged across three distinct types of datasets: sentences, tweets, and dialogs. Notably, the proposed hybrid model achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 85.11%

Burden of typhoid fever in low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic, literature-based update with risk-factor adjustment

Background: No access to safe water is an important risk factor for typhoid fever, yet risk-level heterogeneity is unaccounted for in previous global burden estimates. Since WHO has recommended risk-based use of typhoid polysaccharide vaccine, we revisited the burden of typhoid fever in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) after adjusting for water-related risk. Methods: We estimated the typhoid disease burden from studies done in LMICs based on blood-culture-confirmed incidence rates applied to the 2010 population, after correcting for operational issues related to surveillance, limitations of diagnostic tests, and water-related risk. We derived incidence estimates, correction factors, and mortality estimates from systematic literature reviews. We did scenario analyses for risk factors, diagnostic sensitivity, and case fatality rates, accounting for the uncertainty in these estimates and we compared them with previous disease burden estimates. Findings: The estimated number of typhoid fever cases in LMICs in 2010 after adjusting for water-related risk was 11·9 million (95% CI 9·9–14·7) cases with 129 000 (75 000–208 000) deaths. By comparison, the estimated risk-unadjusted burden was 20·6 million (17·5–24·2) cases and 223 000 (131 000–344 000) deaths. Scenario analyses indicated that the risk-factor adjustment and updated diagnostic test correction factor derived from systematic literature reviews were the drivers of differences between the current estimate and past estimates. Interpretation: The risk-adjusted typhoid fever burden estimate was more conservative than previous estimates. However, by distinguishing the risk differences, it will allow assessment of the effect at the population level and will facilitate cost-effectiveness calculations for risk-based vaccination strategies for future typhoid conjugate vaccine.
