Introduction: First-line nurse managers play significant role in directing patient care and creating safe working environment for nurses. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, nurse managers played a major role in promoting vaccine confidence and administration. This study aimed to establish core competencies that nurse managers in Nyeri County utilized to promote vaccine uptake. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional design was used in all health centers and dispensaries providing COVID-19 Vaccine. The total number of participants was 73. A validated model tool for evaluating nursesâ€™ managerial competencies was used. Sociodemographic characteristics were analyzed using descriptive statistics of: frequency and percentages. Core competencies were analyzed and prioritized using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Data was presented in tables. Ethical guidelines were upheld and approval obtained from DeKUTISERC, NACOSTI, and the Nyeri County Health Department. Results: Majority (77%, n=56) of participants were female, (43%, n=31) aged <40 years, (77%, n=56) had a diploma in nursing. The nurse managers gave highest priority competency to self-management (0.2834). For organizing function competencies, delegating roles and functions had highest priority (0.4720). For managerial roles, attitude towards continuous improvement was regarded as the most important competency (0.2630). Generally, for COVID-19 vaccine uptake, the nurse managers mostly gave the highest priority to competencies in control function (0.4470). Conclusions: The first-line nurse managers in Nyeri County played an important role in COVID-19 vaccine uptake by effectively implementing the control managerial function. Continued capacity building on managerial competence is highly recommended for all first-line nurse managers in the county and in all other counties in the country.

High-risk pregnancies, especially with oligohydramnios, significantly increase infant mortality and morbidity. Obstetrics focuses on preventing complications, with Doppler and Non-Stress Test (NST) being key in assessing fetal health. Oligohydramnios, varying in incidence and severity, can lead to diverse perinatal outcomes, including increased cesarean sections rate and fetal pulmonary complications. The study aims to compare the value of fetal doppler ultrasound and fetal non-stress test in prediction of perinatal outcome in oligohydramnios at post-date pregnancy. This cohort study was conducted at Al-Elwiya Maternity Teaching Hospital from 1st January to 1st December 2023, including 100 post-date pregnant women with oligohydramnios. Exclusions include active labor, contraindications to vaginal delivery, and refusal to participate. Data collection covered demographics, medical history, surgical history, physical exams, Doppler ultrasound findings, and non-stress tests. Outcomes for both mother and neonate, including delivery type, complications, and neonatal health, were recorded, ensuring ethical considerations and confidentiality. This study classified post-date pregnant women with oligohydramnios into four groups based on NST and Doppler results. Group 1 (reactive NST, normal Doppler) comprised 32%, Group 2 (normal NST, abnormal Doppler) 26%, Group 3 (abnormal NST, normal Doppler) 30%, and Group 4 (both abnormal) 12%. It found significant differences in delivery modes, with more cesarean sections in Groups 2 and 4. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admissions and Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) incidence varied notably across groups, highlighting the importance of these tests in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes. NST and Doppler effectively assess perinatal outcomes in oligohydramnios, guiding delivery methods and NICU admissions, and highlighting variable risks.

Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, characterized by rapid proliferation of B cells. It typically presents with abdominal masses or extra-abdominal involvement. Although rare, it can be a potential cause of cholestatic jaundice due to extrinsic compression of the bile ducts or direct infiltration of the liver or pancreas. In children, cholestatic jaundice can be associated with various etiologies, including infections, congenital liver diseases, metabolic syndromes, and tumors. The discovery of a rare and malignant cause, such as Burkitt lymphoma, adds complexity to diagnosis and management. In this article, we report a case of a child with cholestatic jaundice as a presenting symptom of pancreatic Burkitt lymphoma. We discuss clinical aspects, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic options, highlighting the challenges encountered in diagnosing and managing this atypical presentation. A review of the literature shows that cases of Burkitt lymphoma with pancreatic involvement and cholestatic presentation are rarely documented, making this case particularly noteworthy.

Published: September 2024

Distraction techniques in pediatric dentistry are crucial for managing anxiety and fear in young patients, ensuring a positive dental experience.These techniques aim to create a calm and supportive environment, promoting positive dental experiences for children and reducing fear associated with dental visits. Children frequently experience anxiety and apprehension when visiting the dentist, which can impact their cooperation and overall experience. Distraction techniques have emerged as valuable tools to divert attention away from dental procedures, thereby reducing fear and improving patient outcomes.Techniques encompassed various modalities, including audio-visual aids, interactive toys, virtual reality, and behavior guidance strategies. Thus these methods represent a pivotal aspect of contemporary pediatric dentistry, offering innovative solutions to mitigate anxiety and enhance patient cooperation. Continued research and integration of novel technologies will further refine these strategies, ultimately promoting positive dental experiences and long-term oral health in children.

Introduction:Modern imaging and lab testing may not always provide a definitive diagnosis for the most common cause of acute abdomen in young adults: acute appendicitis. In an effort to decrease needless appendectomies and enhance results, this study matches histology, CRP, leukocyte count, neutrophil count, and ultrasonography to determine the best reliable diagnostic test. Methods:In a study of 50 acute appendicitis patients scheduled for appendectomy, TLC, differential count (neutrophil count), CRP, and USG abdomen were evaluated for diagnostic accuracy alongside histopathology. Statistical analysis included descriptive and inferential methods, with continuous data as Mean Â± SD and categorical data in percentages, assessing significance at 5%. Result:92% of the 50 patients who had acute appendicitis had pain that moved from the periumbilical area to the right iliac fossa most of these patients were between the ages of eleven and twenty. It was more usual for men to have acute appendicitis (76 %). Higher leukocyte counts (52 %), neutrophil counts (48 %), and CRP levels (62 %) were seen in the laboratory high sensitivity (95.56%) and low specificity (20.00%) of ultrasound, indicating a good but sometimes false-positive detection rate of appendicitis. High PPV (100%) and specificity (100%) were exhibited by Total Leukocyte Count, but low accuracy (57.78%) and sensitivity were noted (62.00 %). Low NPV (15.38 %) and accuracy were observed in Neutrophil Count, despite moderate sensitivity (51.11 %) and high PPV (95.83 %) (54.00 %). With a high PPV (96.77%), moderate accuracy, and balanced sensitivity (66.67 %) and specificity (80.00 %), CRP was provided (68.00 %). 90 % of cases had histopathology confirm that they had acute appendicitis. Conclusion:The study assesses diagnostic procedures for acute appendicitis in individuals experiencing pain in the right iliac fossa. TLC exhibits excellent specificity (100%) but poor accuracy and sensitivity (57.78%). (62 %). The sensitivity and accuracy of CRP and neutrophil counts are moderate. USG has a low specificity (0.05%) but a high sensitivity (95.56%). (20 %). Reducing negative appendectomies and improving diagnostic accuracy are achieved by combining TLC, neutrophil count, CRP, and USG.
THE EFFECT OF MINDFULNESS PRACTICES ON EMPLOYEE RESILIENCE IN HIGH-STRESS INDUSTRIES
Authors: Singh Ananya
Published: September 2024

In todays high-stress sectors, employee resilience is increasingly acknowledged as a vital component in company performance and individual well-being. This study looks into the influence of mindfulness techniques on employee resilience in such circumstances. Mindfulness, defined as a state of heightened awareness and presence, has been found to reduce stress and enhance psychological outcomes. This paper takes a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to investigate the link between mindfulness practices and employee resilience.The quantitative component included a sample of 300 individuals from high-stress areas such as healthcare, banking, and technology. The participants were placed into two groups: control and intervention, with the latter undergoing an eight-week mindfulness training program. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to assess resilience at baseline, immediately after intervention, and three months later. The qualitative component included in-depth interviews with 30 intervention group participants to acquire a better understanding of their mindfulness practice experiences and perceptions. The intervention group had significantly higher resilience ratings than the control group, and these benefits were sustained at the three-month follow-up. Key advantages of mindfulness, according to qualitative studies, include greater emotional control, attention, and coping techniques. This study highlights the importance of mindfulness techniques in promoting resilience in high-stress industries. Organizations may help their employees navigate the challenges of high-pressure situations by incorporating mindfulness into their well-being initiatives, resulting in greater performance and less burnout. Future studies should look at the long-term effects and efficacy of different mindfulness approaches in a variety of industry contexts.

Species belonging to the genus Crocus L. have some traditional uses against some cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, Parkinsons disease, depression, apoptosis, atherosclerosis. In this study, total phenolic, total flavonoid and antioxidant potentials of the plant extract obtained using Crocus chrysanthus(Herb.) Herb.were investigated. C. chrysanthus was extracted with 70% ethanol using a soxhlet apparatus. While total phenolic content was found to be 127.48 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE/g), total flavonoid content was found to be 41.67 mg quercetin equivalent (QE/g). Radical scavenging (DPPH) and metal chelation (CUPRAC and FRAP) methods were used to determine the free radical scavenging properties. While DPPH radical scavenging was found to be 85.27%, CUPRAC was found to be 56.83 mg trolox equivalent (TE/g). In the FRAP method, the reducing power was found to be 57.68trolox equivalent (TE/g). According to the results obtained, it was determined that the ethanol extract of C. chrysanthus exhibited antioxidant properties. In addition, phenolic and flavonoid content was determined. As a result, C. chrysanthus extract can be recommended as a source of bioactive components with potential use against chronic diseases caused by oxidative stress. Future in-depth studies are recommended to determine the biological effects of compounds isolated from C. chrysanthus to determine the main compounds modulating the observed activities.

Panax ginseng, a traditional herbal medicine, has garnered attention for its potential therapeutic effects on the central nervous system (CNS). Neuronal cells are the fundamental building blocks of the CNS, playing crucial roles in receiving, integrating, and responding to various stimuli. However, culturing these cells poses challenges due to the inability of mature neurons to undergo cell division. To address this limitation, researchers often use secondary cell lines derived from neuronal tumors, which offer the advantage of easy proliferation and consistent results in culture. Ginseng and its active compounds, particularly ginsenosides, have shown promise in mitigating CNS injuries. In the early phases of CNS injury, ginseng exhibits neuroprotective effects primarily through anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Additionally, it aids in the recovery of neural circuits by promoting processes such as neurogenesis and synaptogenesis. Notably, oral administration of Panax ginseng at 100 mg/kg in mice has been shown to enhance adult hippocampal neurogenesis, improving learning and memory abilities. This suggests that ginseng could be beneficial in enhancing neurogenesis following neuroinflammatory conditions, such as ischemia/reperfusion injury. In this study, we explored the effects of Panax ginseng on neurogenesis in NSCs derived from the hippocampus of C57BL/6J mice, with a particular focus on neurosphere formation, neurite outgrowth, and the expression of key neuronal markers and signaling molecules.

Marginal Utility and New Saint Petersburg Paradoxes
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Taylor John A.
Published: September 2024

Adam Smith may have read Daniel Bernoulli’s 1738 essay on risk, and Smith modified his view on risk while teaching jurisprudence to two Russian students, this essay argues. The matter is important because William Stanley Jevons read Adam Smith closely, of course, but Jevons did not read Daniel Bernoulli, and Jevons convinced Alfred Marshall that the concept of marginal utility did not need the advanced mathematical probability which they could have found in Bernoulli. Jevons thought arguments in English prose, like Smith’s arguments, together with the very simple mathematics of Gregory King were sufficient for discussion of moral expectation (what was later called marginal utility). We begin with the tantalizing suggestion that Adam Smith modeled his famous notion of the invisible hand upon Daniel Bernoulli’s also famous essay about risk. The resemblance between the two was striking. Bernoulli’s essay gained the nickname “The Saint Petersburg Paradox” because the author was at the Imperial Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg when he authored the essay and because he published his essay with the proceedings of that same Imperial Academy in Saint Petersburg. Evidence for the connection between Bernoulli and Smith is only circumstantial, however. This present essay lays out the circumstantial evidence, comparing passages from Bernoulli on risk and from Smith on the invisible hand and on what Smith called the lottery of employment.

Published: September 2024

Analysis of the latest publications in professional periodicals today occupies a special place in the field of communications: firstly, it acts as a filter, demonstrating scientific achievements and gaps that require deeper study; secondly, its results serve as a guide for further research; thirdly, thanks to such analysis, new methodological approaches are developed that are relevant to the current situation of uncertainty. An analytical review of articles published in highly rated journals focused on the problems of the communication sphere allowed us to identify a number of the most pressing topics that make up the discursive field of communication studies today: the need for self-determination of the communication sphere in the situation of the “new reality”; the role of crisis communication in modern society, understood as problem management; issues of public opinion formation and the problem of trust; the place of digitalization in communication processes and its consequences. The authors managed to identify a number of universal thematic areas successfully developed by foreign and domestic scientists. These include: the process of mediatization and transgression as a new turn in its deployment; formation of the metaverse; creation of ecosystems, etc. Approaches to solving acute communication problems related, first of all, to crisis situations were outlined. An important conclusion that the authors draw from the results of the analytical review is the urgent need for an interdisciplinary approach in the study of communication phenomena and processes. It is this methodological principle, which involves the integration of ideas not only from the communication sciences themselves, but also from philosophy, economics, politics, cultural studies and other branches of scientific knowledge, that opens up the possibility of an innovative approach to interdisciplinary comprehensive research in situations of uncertainty and instability.

Published: September 2024

The paper presents the results of a media linguistic study of Telegram discourse as a segment of the Internet viewed in a system of characteristics determined by the multimedia organization of communication in the social network. The objective of the research is to work out relevant parameters for analyzing Telegram discourse as a format, taking into account both linguistic and extralinguistic factors. The methodology is based on the advantages of Discourse analysis, Internet linguistics, Media linguistics about the language of electronic interaction, functional varieties of speech, multimodality of discourse, changes in the quality of textuality in new technological conditions. The Telegram discourse format is interpreted as a set of parameters that organize its content and determine its functioning in a digital environment. A case study method has been applied. The material for the analysis presents a selection of 922 messages posted on Telegram about labor migration from September to December 2023. Two analyzed channels cover more than 200 thousand subscribers. It is explained that the ontology and the functioning of Telegram discourse is motivated by extralinguistic reasons. To prove that, the analysis of the technical and multimedia properties of the messenger, the structure of Telegram communication, the combinations of semiotic systems is carried out. The author draws the conclusion about the polyparametricity of the format of Telegram discourse, realized through modularity, dialogicity, hypertextuality, and convergence. A case study on migrant workers reveals changes of the quality of the written speech in the digital discourse and its transformation into the written-and-spoken variety. The results of the research open up prospects for further development of the problems of formatting discourse against the backdrop of virtualization of social practices.

Authors:   Perm State University, Tikhomirova Larisa S. , Chernousova Anastasia S. ,   Perm State University
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes advertising texts covering the real estate market in modern media discourse. The issue of language strategies and tactics of advertising media texts of residential complexes (LCs) owned by authors demonstrating different approaches to this advertising product is considered. Through linguostylistic, functional-grammatical and comparative analyses, a conclusion is made about the choice of the following argumentation tactics as language strategies: emotional, rational and mixed. Emotional tactics are implemented through an appeal to basic human needs: for example, to comfort and coziness (the normal state of a person, manifested in self-care and satisfaction with one’s life); to join the circle of privileged people close to the recipient of the advertising message, etc. Rational tactics involve the use of facts, statistical data, an appeal to reason, and a demonstration of the practical application of the advertised product. A combined (mixed) strategy is implemented by combining various tactics. The scientific novelty lies in the description of the modern advertising text of the residential complex in Perm, based on a multi-aspect analysis of speech strategies and tactics that realize the pragmatic goal of the advertising discourse of the residential complex in the linguistic and cultural space of Perm. In the process of work, such research methods as a descriptive method (collection and systematization of material), a quantitative-qualitative method, and a communicative-pragmatic method were used. The first made it possible to identify the main types of strategies and tactics that reflect the specifics of the commercial product of liquid crystals; the second showed the dynamics of linguistic means influenced by sociocultural factors. Using the communicative-pragmatic method, linguistic and speech units have been identified that represent various strategies of influence and verbalize the advantages of a particular housing complex.
Sports commentary of refereeing errors during TV broadcasts of football matches of the Russian Premier League
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin, Kalinichenko Maxim O.
Published: September 2024

It has been repeatedly proven that the speech of sports commentators is capable of manipulating the audience. However, there is a need for a study of how sports commentators cover officiating as part of sports discourse. The objective of this study is to determine the ways to present the work of sports officials in sports commentary. The materials for this study are comprised of transcripts from broadcasts of 5 football matches of the Russian Premier League 2023/24 season which, according to the expert officiating committee, involved refereeing errors. We have undertaken pragmatic, lexical and stylistic, speech act and conversation analysis in order to inquire how the sports commentators of the “Match TV” channel discuss difficult officiating decisions and frame the information about a potential refereeing error. These moments hold reputational risks for both the channel and the league since the words uttered by journalists and experts could have an impact on audience’s perception of an event, an officiating crew, and the Russian football industry as a whole. The study has shown that in controversial moments commentators attempt to demonstrate multiple perspectives (of referees, players, colleagues, experts) and, to express their opinion, employ a range of strategies: agreeing with the officials’ decision, using markers of uncertainty and doubt as to avoid uttering the only possible interpretation of an episode, switching the audience’s attention to other aspects of a match, implicitly and explicitly indicating a refereeing error. An explicit option is possible only provided that there are valid reasons and expert commentary or opinion of the majority contradicting the officials, but even in that case the face-threatening act directed at referees is redressed. In a dialogue, sports commentators examine multiple points of view and ways to interpret a difficult officiating decision during a football match.

Introdução: A hipersensibilidade é uma doença que acomete grande parte da população que, por muitas vezes, também almejam uma melhor estética dos dentes através do clareamento e não alcançam seu objetivo devido sua condição sintomática. Objetivo: Verificar se uma paciente com hipersensibilidade dentinária e trincas no esmalte, ficaria sem dor após realização da blindagem do esmalte com agentes dessensibilizantes de ação neural e oclusiva em sessão única e, ainda, se continuaria sem dor após o clareamento de consultório utilizando o peróxido de carbamida a 37%. Relato de caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 31 anos, apresentava todos os elementos dentários com alta translucidez, muitas trincas e desgaste dental erosivo restrito à ponta de cúspide nos elementos 36 e 46. Após estes achados e associado à história clínica relatada de alta sensibilidade na dieta principalmente gelada, fechou-se o diagnóstico de um caso de hipersensibilidade dentinária. Foi realizado um procedimento dessensibilizante, em sessão única, com agentes de ação neural e oclusiva e, sequencialmente, clareamento dentário de consultório. A paciente relatou eliminação da sensibilidade com o tratamento dessensibilizante (blindagem do esmalte), o que levou à concordância da paciente em realizar o clareamento com produto à base de peróxido de carbamida a 37% que promete ausência de dor. Conclusões: o protocolo dessensibilizante utilizado cumpriu seu papel no quesito eliminação da dor com retorno da paciente às atividades diárias antes impossibilitadas (como ingerir bebidas geladas) e propiciou a realização de clareamento dentário sem dor, porém sem muito sucesso na mudança de cor alcançada.

Introdução: O envelhecimento da população está associado ao aumento da prevalência de demências, incluindo a doença de Alzheimer. O diagnóstico precoce é crucial para intervenções terapêuticas eficazes. Estudos recentes investigam o impacto da suplementação de ácidos graxos ômega-3 na função cognitiva de idosos, devido à falta de tratamentos farmacológicos conhecidos para prevenir ou retardar o início da demência. Objetivo: Analisar os resultados de diversos estudos sobre a suplementação de ácidos graxos ômega-3 na função cognitiva de idosos. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura a partir das bases de dados BVS, PubMed e Scielo nos últimos dez anos (2013-2023), a partir dos descritores: (Fatty Acids, Omega-3) AND (Cognitive Aging) sem restrição quanto ao idioma e de acesso livre. Foram identificados 107 artigos, dos quais, 32 foram analisados e 14 utilizados nesta revisão.Resultados: O ômega-3, encontrado em peixes e oleaginosas, está associado à saúde cognitiva, especialmente os componentes EPA e DHA. Fatores genéticos, como o gene APO E4, podem influenciar sua eficácia na prevenção de doenças como Alzheimer. Estudos variam sobre seus benefícios na cognição em idosos, com resultados mistos.Conclusões: Os estudos revisados apresentam achados divergentes sobre os efeitos da suplementação de ácidos graxos ômega-3 na função cognitiva de idosos. Enquanto alguns sugerem benefícios, outros não identificam diferenças significativas.

Aims:

This study aimed to assess the effects of AEO in an in vitro model of cell lines derived from
cervical cancer—namely, HeLa and SiHa—by screening for AEO’s cytotoxic properties and examining its influence
on the modulation of gene expression.

Background:

Cervical cancer stands as a prevalent global health concern, affecting millions of women worldwide.
The current treatment modalities encompass surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, but significant limitations
and adverse effects constrain their effectiveness. Therefore, exploring novel treatments that offer enhanced
efficacy and reduced side effects is imperative. Arborvitae essential oil, extracted from Thuja Plicata, has garnered
attention for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and tissue-remodeling properties;
however, its potential in treating cervical cancer remains uncharted.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to delve into the molecular mechanisms induced by arborvitae essential
oil in order to learn about its anticancer effects on cervical cancer cell lines.

Methods:

The methods used in this study were assessments of cell viability using WST-1 and annexin V–
propidium iodide, mRNA sequencing, and subsequent bioinformatics analysis.

Results:

The findings unveiled a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect of arborvitae essential oil on both HeLa and
SiHa cell lines. Minor effects were observed only at very low doses in the HaCaT non-tumorigenic human
keratinocyte cells. RNA-Seq bioinformatics analysis revealed the regulatory impact of arborvitae essential oil on
genes enriched in the following pathways: proteasome, adherens junctions, nucleocytoplasmic transport, cell
cycle, proteoglycans in cancer, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, spliceosome, mitophagy,
cellular senescence, and viral carcinogenesis, among others, in both cell lines. It is worth noting that the
ribosome and spliceosome KEGG pathways are the most significantly enriched pathways in HeLa and SiHa cells.

Conclusion:

Arborvitae essential oil shows potential as a cytotoxic and antiproliferative agent against cervical
cancer cells, exerting its cytotoxic properties by regulating many KEGG pathways.

Main key for good health is wholesome food and obedience of different dietary regimen without which nothing can be obtained. Generally people have this problem that after suffering from disease, they are unable to choose proper food according to the disease and also being ignorant about the diet according to the disease, due to which that particular person's disease becomes fiercer. Therefore, food according to disease is of great importance which helps for the destruction of disease. Before knowing this food, it is also very important to know the factors of disease. It is clearly described in the codes that improper food is the root cause of diseases and along with it, the nature of the particular person, condition of vitiate doshas in his body, Agni, Kala, Desha, etc. also play an important and helpful role in this process. If seen in this way, food is also a cause of diseases and it is also an infallible medicine for disease prevention. In different Ayurvedic texts and lexicons, what type of food should be taken daily in the codes, the benefits of proper food, how to choose specific dietary articles in various diseases like Prameha, Sthaulya, Arsha etc. and how this food will cure the disease in the form of medicine is mentioned in detail. In this article this all matter will be described in detail.

In Ayurveda Ahara is considered as the best preventive medicine and solely responsible for health and illness, sorrow and happiness. Unlike many infectious diseases, lifestyle disorders are mostly preventable through modifications in lifestyle behaviors. Amlapitta, is often considered a lifestyle disorder were lifestyle choices play a significant role in its development and exacerbation. Amlapitta is the commonest Vyadhi of Annavaha Strotas, caused by vitiated Agni where Amlaguna of Pachak Pitta increases due to Samata manifesting symptoms such as Avipaka (indigestion), Amlotkalesh or Tikta Amlodgara (sour or bitter belching), Hridkantha Daha heart throat burning sensation) and Aruchi (anorexia) affecting more people in India.  Main causes for the disease are improper diet, habits, stress, not following Ahara Vidhi Visheshayatana, Viruddhahara, Asatmya Ahara, stale food, spicy irritant food, oily foods, bakery products, some fast foods, excess consumption of tea and coffee, excess food intake, drinking excess water after meals, freeze products, wine, cigarette smoking during meal etc., Amlapitta can be correlated with Acid Peptic Disorders which comprises of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Gastritis, Functional Dyspepsia described in modern science. By promoting healthier lifestyles, individuals can reduce the incidence and severity of Amlapitta symptoms, improving their overall quality of life and well-being. Hence it is important to understand the causes and triggers of Amlapitta. This article’s focus will be on comprehending the factors responsible for development and exacerbation of Amlapitta in the contemporary period.
