Conceptual study of Asthibhagna in relation to Ayurvedic and Modern views

The indigenous system of medicine Ayurveda is not only limited to the basic prevention and management of diseases but it also has various specialized fields which can provide treatment to the serious illnesses. Asthibhagna is one such specialized branch which deals with the traumatic injuries of musculoskeletal system. Traumatic injuries are increasing day by day due to the rash driving, traffic load, speedy driving, etc. Bhagna Chikitsa has been described properly by the great scholar Sushruta in his classics, elaborating the classification of the injuries and their surgical and conservative treatment. Sushruta elaborated the basic principles of Bhagnasthapna, Sthirikarna, Sukhcheshta prasartwam, Bandhanas etc. for the management of such injuries. These principles are also mentioned as Reduction, Immobilization and Rehabilitation in the modern medicinal system. Orthopedics is the branch of modern medicine which deals with the management of deformities of the bones and muscles. Asthi (bones) are considered as the most important supportive framework of the body and therefore Bhagna chikitsa plays very important role in restoring the functional ability of this framework. One can trace the history of trauma management from the time of Vedas which is still relevant and applicable. The following article is trying to elaborate the traditional and modern views in relation to the Bhagna

Prelimnary Screening of Molds for Production of Xylanase

Xylanases shows a large variety of function and have unique importance in the biotechnology and industries due to their potential applications. The major applications of Xylanases are in Textile industry, Biofuel production, Bread making, Pulp bleaching and Food industries. This study is focused on identification and screening of fungi, which can produce Xylanase. Xylanase producing fungi were obtained by congo red method of screening from soil collected from different area. The selection was done on the basis of colony size maximum dimeter 2.5. Four isolates showed clear zone around them that proving to be xylanolytic in nature. The maximum clear zone diameter was measured to be around 7.50 cm in Apergillus versicolor

Conceptual study on Janapadodhvansa Roga and its treatment

Prevention as well as cure of disease is goal of Ayurveda. Through maintenance of Dincharaya, Rutucharya, Sadvritta, person’s physical and mental health is secured
