Published: April 2023

Continuous Passive Motion - CPM - is a therapeutic method that provides fast and safe patient rehabilitation. Considering the fact that the equipment performs the movement along with the patient, who also does it but passively, this treatment procedure can immediately be applied in the postoperative care period. Although this technique makes recovery faster, as strains will be spared from ligaments, muscles and tendons, not all clinics can offer CPM therapy due to its high cost. Bearing in mind the existence of  such equipment that performs the aforementioned motion, the objective of this work was the development and manufacture of a prototype device for continuous passive shoulder movement, with costs reduced to an approximate value of USD$730.00 compared to the average price in the market which is around USD$1510.00. This difference in values would make it affordable for a greater majority of clinics and offices to purchase them and, thus, promote the accelerated timely recovery of the limb after operation, for a larger number of patients, allowing these patients to return to their daily tasks in shorter period of time. For the execution of the prototype, specific mechanical manufacturing methods, such us turning, milling and welding of materials, were applied in order to make the equipment safe and effective, provide comfort for the patient and, above all, make the device affordable for most physiotherapy clinics. The material used for the production was stainless steel, cables, pulleys, tilting automation kit and inductive sensors.

Repositioned or reformulated products are those products which are reconstituted into a new form investigating their impact on market demands. It has great relevance on drug research and development. As a result of such market needs, pharmaceutical companies are looking for cost-effective products and making it more patent friendly. Developing a new formulation or indication for already known drugs can be considered as an appealing strategy for drug developers. Aim of form change is to increase patient friendly usage of a product without compromising its quality and potency. Lepa kalpana is one among the Bahirparimarjana Chikitsa used in Ayurveda. Karutha vatu is a traditional Gulika yoga explained in Sahasrayoga Gutika prakarana for the treatment of headache. The formulation is intended to apply externally over forehead or bregma with suitable medium for the cure of various types of head ache. The formulation contains Kundurushka (Oleo gum resin of Boswellia Serrata), Kanya rasa (Aloe vera), Kathini (silicate of magnesia), Karigoodha (Karndivenna) and Sahasravedhi (limonite). Making Lepa out of pill is a tedious task for the patients in present scenario due to their busy life schedules. It also creates problem of non-uniform mixing. Hence a form change of this tablet into ointment is necessary for greater patient’s acceptance. The formulation is tested for its analytical values and discussed in this article.

Vilwadileha is a well-known Ayurvedic polyherbal formulation used for the management of various diseases such as Chardi, Arochaka, Praseka, Agnimandhya etc. It is described in Sahasrayoga leha prakarana. Aim: The objective was to develop the standard manufacturing procedure (SMP) and quality standards of Vilwadi leha based on total solid method. Total soluble solids content of a solution is determined by the index of refraction using either hand refractometer or Abbe refractometer. Brix is the term used when a refractometer equipped with scale, measures total soluble solids of a pure aqueous sucrose solution by the aid of refractive indices at 20°C and percentage by mass. Materials and methods: In present work, VL was prepared in three batches as per standard guidelines mentioned in AFI Vol 2. Results: Samyak leha paka lakshanas observed was compared with brix value and fix the brix value of VL prepared in 3 Batches. It took 10.40hr to completion of preparation. Conclusion: The current study opens a new concept to standardise Avaleha. This is a trial work to standardise the Leha paka with total solids analysis method or brix value. Brix for each preparation may differ based on sucrose concentration. It was found that Leha prepared with TS between 75 and 77 had parameters similar to Samyak Leha paka. Attempts were also made to develop analytical profile of final product.
Autophagy from Siddhars Perspective in Preventing Non-Communicable Diseases- A Review
Authors: Nikil Niva John Raja  , Hema Nandhini Devi Veluchamy
Published: April 2023

Siddha system of medicine is one of the ancient medicines in the AYUSH system of medicines. It described the prevention and cure of disease through the ways of "Naal Ozhukkam" (daily regimen) and "Kaala Ozhukkam” (seasonal regimen). Fasting (Pattini) is one of these practices of Naal Ozhukkam. In 2016, a Japanese man named Mr. Yoshinori Ohsumi got his Noble Prize for finding the mechanism behind autophagy. Fasting is the most efficient method of activating autophagy. This review showed fasting in our Siddha literature and autophagy from Siddhars perspective in preventing non-communicable diseases. In our Siddha literature, it says that the uses of fasting are to rest our digestive organs, remove toxins and waste products from our bodies, and refresh our body cells. Autophagy is the body’s way of eliminating damaged cells in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells. Recent research has indicated roles for autophagy in an increasing number of pathologies, from bacterial and viral infections to cancer, and more recently in neurodegenerative and other age-related diseases. But during their period, Siddhars treat fever and some other diseases by fasting. By this method, they prevent non-communicable diseases. As a result, we must lead the Siddhars' ideas by performing Naal ozhukkam and Kaala Ozhukkam to prevent non-communicable diseases.

In general, there is talk, research, analysis and action in various other categories of vulnerable groups (poor, elderly, institutionalized, etc.), ignoring the fact that drug addicts are also part of this category and that they are, in turn, excluded and stigmatized. Addressing this topic has helped me to study the social perception of this category of vulnerable, socially excluded population, namely that of drug addicts. The dynamics, dimensions and characteristics of drug use in Romania are aspects that underlie the governmental policy in this field. That is why the intervention of society must focus on at least four dimensions: social, economic, political and, last but not least, moral. Drug addiction is an increasingly visible phenomenon, with wide and sometimes serious consequences at individual and community level, and in this capacity highlights a series of hypotheses and perspectives concerning both the substances and the situations against which they are it creates addiction, but also the types and ways of consumption. It can be said about the drug problem in Romania that the period has passed, romantic in fact, in which there were several voices claiming that drug addiction would be a minor problem, that we are more of a transit chain to the western market, that there is a such external constraints on the individual, of which the economic one would be the most effective in keeping him away from expensive drugs. Unfortunately, this desirable situation has been somewhat transgressed and now we are in a stalemate that is not yet manifested in its "fullness": the subject of drug use is increasingly present in the social space, the institutions capable of social control are (statistics show a fabulous increase (1200% in the period 2000-2004, so in four years, of illicit drug users and addicts), the intervention network is insufficient and consists of several hospitalization centers / services set up next to psychiatry, the specialists of the intervention are still in training regarding the professional experience, the specialized literature is deficient and mainly theoretical, the researches and scientific studies on the field are hardly projected for the Romanian reality.
