Fibroids, one of the major reason for infertility are present in 5- 10% of infertile patient. Depending on the location in the uterus, fibroid prevent conception by causing difficulty in sperm ascent, impaired sperm transport and hindering the nidation of fertilized ovum. Thus, fibroids have been implicated in infertility as well as pregnancy loss. Hereby, we are reporting a case of a 31year-old married female who visited the OPD of the National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur. She came with complaints of being unable to conceive for 1 year. Ultrasonography dated July 13, 2022, suggested a bulky uterus with intramural fibroid (85 × 65 mm). On the basis of these clinical presentations and USG findings, the patient was diagnosed with infertility due to a uterine fibroid correlated with Kshetra dushti janya Bandhyatva. Vamana karma was conducted for the elimination of Kapha Dosha. After Vamana karma, she missed her period. Her UPT was performed on March 22, 2023, which was found positive. Uneventfully, the patient had delivered a live female child weighing 2.5 kg on 1/11/2023 by LSCS under SA.

Diabetes stands as one of the most prevalent diseases globally, and diabetic patients are at risk of developing foot ulcers as a microvascular complication. These ulcers stem from diabetic neuropathy or atherosclerosis, leading to ischemia or breakdown of glucose-laden tissue, resulting in inflammation and ulceration. If left untreated, these ulcers can become infected, spreading to the underlying tissues. In Ayurveda, such ulcers are termed as Madhumehajanya Vrana. Sushruta Acharya outlined Anushastra Karma for managing Vrana, which includes Ksharakarma (application of alkalis) and Jalukavacharana (leech therapy). Kshara functions by actions like Chhedana, Bhedana, Lekhana and Ropana. Jalukavacharana possesses anti-inflammatory properties, promotes fresh blood supply by removing vitiated Dosha from the blood, and fosters wound healing by forming healthy granulation tissue. A 65-year-old female patient presented with a non-healing wound on the plantar aspect of her left foot below the greater toe since 8 months, associated with foul-smelling pus discharge for 6 months. She had a known history of diabetes mellitus since 10 years. The ulcer measured 4cm x 3cm x 2.5cm, GRBS was 380mg/dl with HbA1c of 12%. Patient was treated with Ksharataila infiltration, application of Tilwaka pratisaraneeya kshara followed by Lekhana of callosity present over the edges of the ulcer, and Jalukavacharana therapy for four sessions with seven days interval, in addition to internal medications.

Whenever a person is exposed to Visha, it follows a course of Visha vega before causing the death of the person. Aim: To study the eight visha vega according to Acharya Charaka along with Veganusar chikitsa. Objective: To study different Dravya and Karma used during eight Visha vega management. Material & methods: For this review eight Visha vega will be analysed from the Charaka Samhita. For the study of Dravya used, Rasapanchaka and their corresponding pharmaceutical studies would be obtained from Dravyaguna text and CCRAS plant database, API, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Ayurvedic text. Discussion: Acharya Charaka mentioned 8 Vega of Visha or 8 stages of Visha along with their symptoms in each Vega and also their management in every Vega. Every Vega represents a Dhatu which visha enter by crossing over the respective kala with the force of Vayu as per Acharya Sushurta known as Vegantara. Also the symptoms in each Vega are of the Dhatu in which it resides and produces the symptoms according to its respective Dhatu. After analysing the Raspanchak of Dravya’s used during Vega most of the dominant Rasa was Tikta and Katu, Laghu ruksha guna, Katu vipaka and Ushna veerya respectively. Conclusion: After their Raspanchak evaluation it was concluded that the dominant Rasa was Tikta and Katu, Laghu ruksha guna, Katu vipaka and Ushna veerya. So it is can be said that the drugs used during treatment, are similar in properties to the Visha. These Dravya’s used possess the same potential similar to visha to fight against the Visha, so that it can reach the places where visha has been placed in the body and use in present times as per the complexities of visha. And the Hetuvipritarthkari chikista siddhant is also established in terms of Visha chikitsa.

Published: August 2024

Nasya is one among the five important Panchkarma procedures. The unit of measurement used to explain the Nasya dosage is Bindu. One Bindu is typically understood to be one drop (0.05ml) in Ayurvedic practice, while Acharayas defines Bindu as one Shana, which is ten times the commonly used dose. This study addresses the traditional understanding of Bindu and how it should be standardized for various Nasya Kalpanas. A few publications previously published discussed the standardization of Bindu Pramana for Sneha Kalpana of Nasya. However, our classical books do not provide a standard Pramana for another Nasya Kalpana, such as Ksheer, Swarasa and Kwath Kalpana. Thus, for these Kalpanas of Nasya we are attempting to standardize Bindu Pramana of Nasya. Method and Material: 40 volunteers aged between 18 to 40 years were considered and in each group for Ksheer, Swarasa and Kwatha Kalpana of Nasya, irrespective of sex and age were selected for the study. Group A: 40 people were asked to dip their fingers up to 2nd interphalangeal joint in cow milk and all drops dribbled were considered 1 Bindu. Group B: 40 people were asked to dip their fingers up to 2nd interphalangeal joint in Tulsi Patra Swaras and all drops dribbled were considered 1 Bindu. Group C: 40 people were asked to dip their fingers up to 2nd interphalangeal joint in Dashmoola kwath and all drops dribbled were considered 1 Bindu. Conclusion – The study showed variations in dose of Bindu as per the different Kalpanas of Dravya used for Nasya.

Authors: Akshita  , Soni Kapil
Published: August 2024

In Ayurveda, infertility is addressed under the concept known as "Bandhyatava," which is described in ancient texts such as Charak Samhita, Sushrut Samhita, Ras Ratna Samuchya, and Harit Samhita. Acharya Sushrut described four crucial factors for fertility: Ritu (menstruation), Kshetra (functioning reproductive organs), Ambu (digestive juices) and Beej (healthy sperm and ovum). It occurs due to the vitiation of Vata dosha where Kapha dosha also contributes to the formation of blockage. Beeja Grahana is unable due to Sanga Strotodushti of Artavavaha i.e., tubal blockage which leads to failure of conception. Fallopian tube is an essential part of the Artavavaha Srotas as the Beej Samagam (ovum and sperm) takes place here. In the current case scenario, Bandhyatva is due to Tubal Blockage. A 37-year-old female patient was reported to PTSR OPD with the complaints of irregular menses with decreased duration and wants to conceive irrespective of unprotected sexual intercourse since 3 years. Her HSG scan suggestive of B/L fallopian tube cornual blockage. Aims and Objectives: To maintain the balance between the four factors to conceive through Sanshodhan therapy.

Authors: Dhanushree R N  , Megha M  , Prakruthi G
Published: August 2024

Ayurveda, encompasses eight branches known as Ashtangas. Among these, Shalakya Tantra specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the Urdhwajatru-head and neck. Acharya Sushruta, a revered figure in Ayurvedic medicine, meticulously detailed the management of eleven head diseases, termed Shirorogas, in the Uttara Tantra of Sushruta samhita. One of these diseases, Kaphaja Shiroroga, closely aligns with the modern medical condition of Sinusitis based on its signs and symptoms. Kaphaja Shiroroga presents with symptoms such as a sensation of heaviness, mucus accumulation, stiffness, coldness and swelling around the eyes. Sinusitis, a contemporary counterpart, involves inflammation of the sinus tissues- air-filled spaces in the forehead, cheeks and nose. This inflammation results in facial pain, nasal congestion or discharge and sometimes fever, often triggered by a common cold. However, sinusitis can also be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or allergies. Classified as a Kaphaja Vyadhi (disease caused by an imbalance of the Kapha dosha), Kaphaja Shiroroga is treated through various Ayurvedic procedures, including Shirovirechana (cleansing of head), Kavala (gargling), Snehana (oiling), Swedana (sudation), Vamana (therapeutic emesis), Upanaha (poultice) and Dhumapana (medicated smoking). The choice of treatment is determined by the physician's expertise and tailored to the patient's specific needs. By following these methodologies, Ayurveda aims not only to eradicate the disease but also to minimize the likelihood of recurrence, thus promoting long-term health and well-being.

Published: August 2024

Vyayama, a specialized concept in Ayurveda, serves as both the cause and remedy for various illnesses. While physical exercise is beneficial, excessive engagement in it can lead to negative health outcomes. Over-exertion aggravates the Vata Dosha, which in turn affects the qualities of the channels (Srotas), making them Ruksha and Khara. Consequently, Vyayama becomes a primary factor in the disturbance of the channels Pranavaha, Asthivaha, and Swedavaha Srotas. Conversely, insufficient exercise disrupts the Medovaha Srotas.
The Pranavaha Srotas serves as the vital channel responsible for carrying Vata, especially Prana, which sustains the vitality of every cell. Disruption in the structure or function of this channel leads to illness. When exercise is excessive, it can lead to Hridayoparodha resulting in impairment of the primary site of action. This can manifest as acute conditions (as myocardial infarction) or chronic conditions (as Shosha). It's important to engage in exercise appropriately according to Bala and Ritu to preserve health. This article explores the scientific evidence supporting the notion that excessive exercise (Ativyayama) can disturb the balance of the body's channels, particularly the Pranavaha Srotas. It offers a thorough examination of the relationship between overexercise and channel disturbances, providing insights into potential risks and preventive measures.

Authors: Kanyal Kavita  , Pandey Vijay Shankar
Published: August 2024

The Ayurvedic approach to healthcare is distinct from the allopathic approach, as it is not primarily focused on using drugs. In Ayurveda, there are numerous drugs derived from plants, animals, and minerals that are believed to enhance the body's Vyadhikshamatava. However, to fully benefit from these substances, they must be used in accordance with the principles of Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, the emergence of disease is intricately connected to distinct factors collectively referred to as Nidanadi Visheshas. These factors encompass Nidan, Doshas, and Dushyas. The pivotal determinants influencing whether a disease manifests or not lie in the Prativisheshas associated with Nidanadi Visheshas to the dynamic interplay of Vikaarvighaat Bhava-Abhava. Understanding Vikaarvighaat Bhava, Abhava, and Prativisheshas is crucial for assessing pathogenesis, determining the Sadhyasadhyata, and formulating an appropriate treatment protocol. Various principles are advocated for the management of diseases. In this sequence, the desired increase in the best Dhatu Saar and Oja by prior conditioning through the best diet, medicine, Rasaysana, etc. can be adopted along with altering the body through purification therapies such as emesis or purgation. Another approach involves using substances or medicines with properties and actions opposite to those causing the disease, adhering to the general principle of treatment. Additionally, refining the body using substances similar to the factors that could cause the disease is known as Purvaabhisanskaar.

Sthavar Visha- Need of Balance in Tradition and Safety
Authors: Ved Bhushan Sharma  , Parul Sharma  , Ramesh Chandra Tiwari
Published: August 2024

The ancient Indian system of medicine has a long history of using poisonous herbs and minerals, known as Sthavar Visha, which are an integral part of Ayurveda medicines used for therapeutic purposes. It involves a delicate balance between harnessing the medicinal properties of these substances and mitigating their potential risks. These toxic substances can be transformed into beneficial medicines through meticulous processing, while the improper use of Sthavar Visha can lead to significant toxicity and may cause harm instead of causing benefits. This manuscript explores the diversity of Sthavar Visha, the challenges of complex formulations, variability in quality, and the lack of standardized dosages. Case studies on Aconitum ferox (Vatsanabha) and mercury-based preparations highlight the measures of potential dangers along with their solutions. Addressing these risks requires stringent quality assurance, substantial research and clinical trials, effective regulatory oversight, and increased education and awareness. Pharmacovigilance in Ayurveda, although currently underutilized, plays a crucial role in monitoring adverse effects and ensuring the safety of Ayurveda practices. Effective regulatory oversight is crucial for monitoring the use of potentially toxic substances and ensuring compliance with safety standards. Implementing post-marketing surveillance programs and encouraging adverse event reporting can help identify potential safety concerns and take timely corrective actions. Combining traditional knowledge with safety methods is essential for promoting health and ensuring quality treatment in Ayurveda's growing global popularity. A harmonious integration of tradition and safety measures will pave the way for a robust and sustainable future for Ayurveda medicine.

Published: August 2024

The immune system's defense mechanism has been affected by the management and nutrition conditions in poultry production. In biological aspects, Bursa Fabricius and Thymus are primary lymphoid organs that defend the body against diseases. The spleen, cecal tonsils, immunoglobulins, and various forms of mucosal immunity, BALT (bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue), MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue), CALT (conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue), and GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue), are also vital to their overall health. The management program (environmental conditions, heating, lighting practices) and nutritional supplementation (feed ingredients, composition, and feed additives) significantly affect birds' immunity and performance. Dietary supplementation enhances immune system activation by improving the lymphoid tissues and beneficial immune modulators and responses. During the past fifteen years, alternative feed additives (amino acids, minerals, vitamins, probiotics, prebiotics) have impacted animal production performance and immunity. Besides, feed additives, such as probiotics, prebiotics, vitamins, minerals, and organic acids, are essential for sustaining hormonal, physiological, and immunological processes. These additives, probiotics, vitamins (A, C, D, E), mineral (selenium) supplementations, and organic acids boost the immune system's activity against microbial pathogens and physiological stress mechanisms. At the last point, this paper aims to review the current improvement in the relationship between nutrition and immunity in poultry.

Мақолада илмий тадқиқотларда дин ва табобат масаласини ўрганишдаги ёндашувлар ўрганиб чиқилган, шу тариқа инсоният тарихи давомида тиббиёт масаласи хеч қачон ўз долзарблигини йўқотмаган. Айниқса, унинг дин билан асосланиши ёки диний таълимотларга зид бўлиши муҳокама марказида бўлган. Антик давр олимлари томонидан ёзилган тиббиётга оид асарларда диний мотив учрамасада, диний адабиётларда тиббиёт масаласи доимо изоҳланган. Кейинчалик, жамиятда диннинг ўрни кучайиши билан тиббиёт билан шуғулланувчи олимлар ҳам ўз қарашларини дин билан исботлашга ҳаракат қилдилар.

Published: August 2024

This study aimed to investigate the challenges associated with translating elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) within the context of Hong Lou Meng. Building upon the identified challenges, the study delved into solutions aimed at employing effective strategies in the translation of diverse Traditional Chinese Medicine. This study employed a qualitative method to investigate the translation of TCM terms in the English version translated by Hawkes and     Minford (2014) from the perspective of translation aesthetics. The study carefully chose representative examples from different facets of TCM in the source text, encompassing TCM theories, disease diagnosis and syndromes, and terminologies and formulas. The translated content was juxtaposed with the source text to scrutinize the translation methods employed in the translation. Based on this analysis, the study assessed both the achievements and shortcomings in translating various TCM terms from the perspective of translation aesthetics. Ultimately, the study consolidated solutions and compensation methods on how to retain the aesthetic and cultural value of Chinese medicine elements in the translation of classical literature. The study findings indicate that the challenges of translating TCM lie in conveying the difficult TCM theories, the recreation of the strict and beautiful language structures in disease diagnosis and syndromes, and the accurate reproduction of TCM terminologies. It shows that to overcome the challenges, translators should adopt various methods flexibly, such as annotating the TCM theories, recreating the content using similar sentence structures by adopting domestication plus transliteration, or foreignization plus annotation to translate Chinese medicine terminologies and formulas.

Argumentative essay is an important component in English writing for students in China. The present study investigated the schematic structure of a higher vocational college students’ argumentative writings and its pedagogical implementation in teaching and learning English writing in China context. This study utilized a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze fifteen English argumentative essays of students from a higher vocational college in Anhui, China. The schematic structure was analyzed based on Lee’s (2006) model under Systemic Functional Linguistics. The findings showed that when writing argumentative essays, higher vocational college students in China centered on giving ‘Thesis’, ‘Arguments’ and ‘Reinforcement’ stages. Some essays including high-graded essays did not present the ‘Identification’ stage and many essays ignored the ‘Recommendation’ stage. For the ‘Arguments’ stage, middle-graded and low-graded essays did not exhibit the ‘Point’ and ‘Elaboration’ steps clearly. As many students failed to write reasonable and persuasive argumentative essays, the pedagogical implication is that teachers should help students be conscious of the schematic structure of different writing genres, and give students more opportunities to practice writing.

Published: August 2024

This study seeks to examine and reinterpret gender roles shown in the book River of My Blood (Hangor Nodi Grenade, titled in Bangla) by Selina Hossain. Hossain's (2016) work is a compelling story that questions conventional standards by emphasizing the changing experiences of its three central female characters, Boori, Nita, and Ramija. These people live in a society allegedly to be puritanical and misogynistic, in which women have little independence. They are faced with thoughtful questions on the political and sexual persecution of women as well as the differences in political processes. The book, set against the backdrop of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, offers an authentic and detailed account of a significant historical event. Through the characters in this book, the author, Selina Hossain, demonstrates her skill in examining the issue of identity while questioning stereotypical gender norms. This study examines the book's potential to inspire readers by challenging gender stereotypes and presenting perspectives on identity and social roles. This study employed a qualitative research approach, with thematic analysis being the primary method used for data collection. The study showed how the book challenges gender stereotypes and presents perspectives on identity and social roles.

Recycling of used cooking oil is an effort by collecting, processing and reusing solid waste or materials that have been used for the purpose of environmental conservation. This study was conducted to identify the level of knowledge and awareness of used cooking oil management among the community in the Kuala Nerus district, Terengganu. The study involved 30 respondents in the community, namely traders, used cooking oil wholesalers, households, students and the government. The study used a mixed method, i.e. qualitative and quantitative research using fuzzy cognitive modelling including individual mental model modeling. The results of the study showed that the knowledge of cooking oil waste recycling among the respondents was still at a moderate level. The results of the study found that for the aspect of qualitative analysis, there were four themes that emerged, namely knowledge, awareness, attitude and culture. While descriptive analysis identifies the most dominant relationship strength is the theme of awareness. The recommendations in this study are necessary to improve the management of used cooking oil in Kuala Nerus through a comprehensive and integrated approach.

Aims: Given the presence of comorbidities and critical illnesses in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), it is imperative to accurately forecast their prognosis and mortality in order to effectively plan and administer their therapies. Decreased serum albumin level is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. We designed this study to evaluate the prognostic value of decreased serum albumin level and its association with age in critically ill patients based on data obtained from the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods: Data of patients followed between June 2022 and December 2023 in the Internal Medicine ICU of Akdeniz University Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II) scores were documented within the initial 24 hours following admission to the ICU. Delta Albumin expression was used to express the changes between albumin values. The relationship between the obtained data and age was examined and compared between the surviving and deceased patient groups.
Results: 300 patients were included in the study. Albumin levels were significantly lower at admission compared to discharge in both the survival and deceased groups (both p
IMPROVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF MEASURES STATE SUPPORT FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

Published: August 2024

Государственная поддержка промышленности является значимым стимулом для сбалансированного роста любой национальной экономики. В Российской Федерации (кроме прямого софинансирования и субсидирования промышленно-производственных предприятий) создан специальный институт – Фонд развития промышленности, который призван содействовать расширенному воспроизводству в сфере высокотехнологичной промышленной деятельности. Вместе с тем данные показывают, что государственная поддержка промышленности не является достаточно эффективной и ориентирована преимущественно на оборонно-промышленный комплекс. Такой подход на практике приводит к тому, что сфера гражданского производства стагнирует.

State support for industry is a significant incentive for the balanced growth of any national economy. In the Russian Federation (in addition to direct co-financing and subsidizing of industrial production enterprises), a special institution has been created – the Industrial Development Fund, which is designed to promote expanded reproduction in the field of high-tech industrial activity. At the same time, the data show that government support for industry is not sufficiently effective and is focused primarily on the military-industrial complex. This approach in practice leads to stagnation in the sphere of civil proceedings.
