Creating Yoga Therapy Classes and Individual Sessions that Work
Authors: Le Page Joseph 
Published: July 2020

This article outlines a model of Yoga therapy based on the five koshas, or levels of being. By recognizing separation in individuals or groups at the level of the physical body, energetic body, psycho-emotional body,wisdom body, and bliss body, Yoga therapists can facilitate healing at all levels by designing a program of appropriate yogic techniques. A five-step process of development is described, whereby the therapist describes what is happening at each of the levels, looks at areas of separation, examines the role of stress in the separation process at each level, determines factors and yogic techniques to facilitate wellness for this group or individual, and builds a practice or class lesson plan that incorporates the selected yogic techniques.
Successful development of Yoga therapy sessions and classes requires detailed knowledge and understanding of the structure, systems, and functioning of each of thekoshas and the tools provided by Yoga to facilitate healing on all levels. The goal of all Yoga therapy is to create the appropriate environment, conditions, and relationship with the student for optimal health, healing, and awakening. Each student is addressed at the level of his/her own needs whether these be physical, emotional,or spiritual. Ultimately, all healing comes from the realization by the student of his/her own indwelling source or essence. The Yoga therapist facilitates the student's journey toward wholeness by maintaining that connection within him/herself, offering the elements of Yoga most appropriate for the student and maintaining a loving,nonjudgmental space for the student's growth.
Yoga Breathing Techniques (YBT) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):A Preliminary Study
Authors: Vedanthan P. 
Published: July 2020

Yoga Breathing techniques (YBT) have been in vogue as an adjunct treatment in the management of asthma. The current study was done to determine the value of YBT in patients with COPD. Eleven patients (6 male, 5 female) in the age range 61–82 years (mean age 72) with an established diagnosis of COPD volunteered to participate in the study. Written consents were obtained prior to start of the study. All subjects were taught the YBT and relaxation techniques by a senior Yoga teacher. The procedure for YBT used in this group was modified to accommodate the limited physical capabilities of the participants due to their age as well as the severity of their COPD. The techniques involved breathing exercises with hand stretching, guided relaxation,sectional breathing, and meditation. All the participants received recorded audiotapes so that they could practice these techniques at home for a period of one week prior to the study. All the subjects were on continuous supplemental oxygen 1–3 liters per minute via nasal prongs.
On the study day, baseline vital signs (blood pressure,pulse rate) were taken, a physical examination was done, and spirometry and oximetry were performed and readings recorded. The supplemental oxygen supply was stopped and subjects were asked to perform the YBT off oxygen. The subjects were closely watched and supervised by the Yoga teacher, as well as by the principal physician investigator, during this procedure. Continuous oximetry readings were taken and readings were recorded at baseline, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes during the performance of the YBT. Pre- and post-Yoga spirometry also was performed and recorded. All the subjects were requested to write down their impressions of the effect of YBT. Results: Oxygen saturation dropped to an average value of 87% (range: 82%–92%) immediately after the oxygen supply was discontinued. The oximetry values rose at 10 minutes to 92% and at 20 minutes to 94% during theYBT session on room air alone (without the use of supplemental oxygen). Ten out of 11 subjects felt subjectively better and relaxed overall. One subject could not tolerate being off oxygen, but still felt better subjectively during YBT. Spirometry values before and after YBT did not show any significant change. Conclusion:YBT seems to offer some benefit to patients with COPD and emphysema.
Going Forward

The 2007 IAYT conference in Los Angeles was a huge success. In particular, I appreciated the diversity and professionalism that was present and celebrated throughout the event. I left with two key ideas that I want to support with action going forward:
1. Research is very important, and we need to embrace it individually and as a profession.
2. Standards are also very important to the practice of Yoga therapy, and we have a unique opportunity to not only create standards for our profession but to do so in a way that acknowledges, embraces, and supports our diversity.
What Yoga Therapists Need to Know about Ayurveda and Kinesiology
Authors: Stiles Mukunda 
Published: July 2020

This perspective responds to two questions that John Kepner, director of IAYT, asked following discussions on establishing standards of education for Yoga therapists:
1. What suggestions do you have on the anatomy,physiology, and possibly Ayurveda requirements for Yoga therapists? Assuming there is a limit to the requirements one might expect, should Ayurveda be a substitute for anatomy and physiology, or should strong anatomy and physiology be a foundation for all therapists?
2. I am quite sensitive to the student teacher relationship issue. It's a key part of Yoga therapy,and it's also a disappearing element in much of today's conventional healthcare environment. I don't know how to address that in standards,but I certainly don't want to impede that in any fashion either.

Asana as Sculpture, Kinetic Toy and Worshipful Ritual
Authors: Rain Willow 
Published: July 2020

A sculpture is the indwelling potential of the stone or wood to be carved. An artist uncovers the shape, sensitive to the qualities and character of the material. Likewise, asanas are expressions of the inherent potential of the human bodymind.
Each time an asana holds a body, the posture creates a new and unique sculpture. Body parts may assume positions similar to those held previously, but variation is infinite in the subtle points of expression. Breathing may be manipulated or left free flowing.
Understand Your Backache: A Guide to Prevention, Treatment & Relief
Authors: Cailliet Rene , Lasater Judith 
Published: July 2020

Not surprisingly, when I was in physical therapy school, our anatomy text was Gray's Anatomy. Because the text is so detailed, we would occasionally ask our teacher how much we had to know. The answer was always the same: "Know everything. You can't know enough anatomy."
Obviously, keeping anatomical details in mind is difficult at best, yet a thorough knowledge of lumbo-sacral anatomy is critical when working with Yoga students who may be suffering from lower back pain. Cailliet's book makes this task easier for several reasons
Table of Contents & Editorials

Published: July 2020

In 2005, I took over the role of editor in chief for this journal. When the board of IAYT hired me, they gave me two goals: 1. Institute a peer review process. 2. Get the journal indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE,the world's leading database of scientific and medical journals.
The first, I knew we could do. The yoga therapy world is full of people with wide-ranging expertise and a willingness to serve their profession. Whether we needed expert analysis of a pilot study or scholarly insight into the modern history of yoga, I believed our community would step up(and they did).
The Nasal Cycle: Observations over Prolonged Periods of Time
Authors: Funk Edwin , Clarke John 
Published: July 2020

Ancient yoga texts concerned with the study of breathing patterns, or pranayama, have remarked upon a regular alternation of nasal flow through one nostril and then the other.
In addition to an underlying cycle, certain activities and psychological conditions were noted to be associated with predominant flow through one particular nostril. Right nostril dominance, for instance, was associated with outward directedness, more vigorous activity and also certain physiologic states such as occur in the digestion of food. Left nostril predominance was related to more, quiet, receptive moods.

A Method of Real-Time Tsunami Detection Using Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition
Authors: Wang Yuchen , Satake Kenji , Maeda Takuto , Shinohara Masanao , Sakai Shin’ichi 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWe propose a method of real-time tsunami detection using ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD). EEMD decomposes the time series into a set of intrinsic mode functions adaptively. The tsunami signals of ocean-bottom pressure gauges (OBPGs) are automatically separated from the tidal signals, seismic signals, as well as background noise. Unlike the traditional tsunami detection methods, our algorithm does not need to make a prediction of tides. The application to the actual data of cabled OBPGs off the Tokohu coast shows that it successfully detects the tsunami from the 2016 Fukushima earthquake (M 7.4). The method was also applied to the extremely large tsunami from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake (M 9.0) and extremely small tsunami from the 1998 Sanriku earthquake (M 6.4). The algorithm detected the former huge tsunami that caused devastating damage, whereas it did not detect the latter microtsunami, which was not noticed on the coast. The algorithm was also tested for month-long OBPG data and caused no false alarm. Therefore, the algorithm is very useful for a tsunami early warning system, as it does not require any earthquake information to detect the tsunamis. It detects the tsunami with a short-time delay and characterizes the tsunami amplitudes accurately.
A cost variation analysis of various brands of oral anti-diabetic drugs currently available in Indian pharmaceutical market
Authors: Shyam Sharvari , Mahanthegowda Bhavya Darshini 
Published: July 2020

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder requiring lifelong treatment. There are a large number of anti-diabetic drugs available in the Indian market. The cost of drugs plays an important role in patient’s care, warranting the need for all physicians to keep themselves updated with the latest prices and price variation of various brands of anti-diabetic drugs. The objective of this study is to evaluate the cost of oral anti-diabetic drugs of different brands currently available in the Indian market.Methods: Cost of oral anti-diabetic drugs manufactured by different pharmaceutical companies in the same strength and dosage forms was obtained. The percentage price variation and cost ratio for each formulation was calculated.Results: In sulfonylurea group of drugs, maximum price variation was seen in glimepiride 1mg 1366% and minimum was seen in glipizide 2.5 mg 17%. In non-sulfonylurea group of drugs, a maximum variation was seen in metformin 500 mg 809% and a minimum variation was seen in acarbose 100 mg 10%. Among the fixed dose combination therapy, glimepiride 2 mg and metformin 500 mg showed the highest price variation 555% and pioglitazone 7.5 mg and metformin 500 mg showed the least price variation 8%.Conclusions: Our study showed that there is a very high price variation for oral anti-diabetic drugs by different brands. Since diabetes mellitus is a chronic illness, cost of the drug plays an important role in compliance to the treatment regimen. It is necessary to bring awareness regarding this wide variation in prices, such that the drug costs can be reduced and made more affordable to the common man.
Tigecycline: pharmacological concerns and resistance
Authors: Paudel Rama , Nepal Hari P. 
Published: July 2020

Tigecycline, a semisynthetic derivative of minocycline, has a broad spectrum of activity against both gram positive and gram negative multidrug resistant bacteria. The drug acts on 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein synthesis. Since the drug has excellent tissue distribution, it is very useful for treatment of skin infections, intra-abdominal infections and pneumonia. Side effects of the drug are usually mild. The common side effects include nausea and vomiting. The exact mechanism of resistance remains unclear. However, resistance mediated by enhanced expression of resistance nodulation cell division (RND) type efflux pumps is one of the most frequently reported mechanisms. Resistance has been observed worldwide. However, the rate of resistance is low.
Status of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 infection
Authors: Shahani Savita Ramesh , Shahani Lokesh R. 
Published: July 2020

COVID-19 causing virus is a single stranded RNA virus which has spread across the globe causing human respiratory tract infection. The novel virus which started from Wuhan was named as Wuhan coronavirus or 2019 novel corona virus (2019-nCov) by the Chinese researchers. The international committee on taxonomy of viruses named the virus as SARS-CoV-2 and the disease as COVID-19. There is preliminary in vitro evidence of the ability of CQ and HCQ to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 activity. Various small group clinical studies conducted in china indicated efficacy of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in Covid-19 cases but results were inconclusive. Based on these studies national agencies in various countries issued guidelines mentioning that chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine are only to be used in clinical trials or emergency use programs. However, USFDA does not recommend use of both these drugs for treatment of COVID-19 cases. Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are known to produce dose dependent toxicity including fatal arrhythmias therefore its possible benefit has to be assessed against its risk. Large number of international and national studies are ongoing to assess exact status of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for treatment and prophylaxis of COVID-19 infection. Based on these results ICMR recommend to use hydroxychloroquine for prophylaxis of COVID-19 in India and hydroxychloroquine has been is included in schedule H1 hence they can be sold by pharmaceutical chemists only strictly with a valid prescription and require record to be maintained but chloroquine is still under schedule H which require to be sold with prescription.

El caminar de los niños, conocido como marcha, no es homogéneo, pues varía de uno a otro según su edad. En los primeros 8 años de vida la marcha va perfeccionándose a medida que se adquieren habilidades, hasta que logran caminar de forma similar a los adultos. En este lapso, una variante muy frecuente es la “marcha en inversión de pies”, que se define como el desplazamiento o rotación de las puntas de los pies hacia la línea media.

Authors: Pérez Villa Marjorie 
Published: July 2020

Introducción. Las terapias ofrecidas a los pacientes con cáncer, incluidos los medicamentos citotóxicos, generan un alto riesgo para los profesionales de la salud involucrados en el proceso de atención del paciente; por tanto, todo el personal, incluido el de enfermería, debe contar con las medidas de seguridad necesarias para evitar la aparición o el aumento de efectos no deseados para su salud.
Objetivo. Describir las medidas de bioseguridad adecuadas para la manipulación de medicamentos citotóxicos y los signos clínicos y síntomas producto de la exposición a estos fármacos en el personal de enfermería de una institución de salud para adultos de Envigado, Colombia.
Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en el personal de enfermería que tuviera a su cargo el cuidado de pacientes oncológicos en una institución de salud de alta complejidad del municipio de Envigado durante el primer semestre del 2018. A los participantes se les aplicó una encuesta autodiligenciable, en la cual se registraron datos sociodemográficos, laborales, de salud y medidas de protección personal para la administración y manipulación de citostáticos. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de los datos.
Resultados. Participaron 51 trabajadores con una mediana de edad de 33 años (RIQ=8); el 90 % pertenecía al servicio de hospitalización. Los síntomas manifestados más frecuentes fueron cefalea (64,7 %), dolor abdominal (25,5 %) y mareo (25,5 %). El 98 % de los participantes contaba con los suministros y elementos personales para la manipulación de citotóxicos, pero solo el 19,6 % había recibido capacitación sobre el manejo de estos medicamentos.
Conclusiones. Se deben realizar capacitaciones al personal de salud para que identifiquen en su área de trabajo los riesgos a los que se encuentran expuestos y así adopten las medidas de bioseguridad necesarias para desempeñar sus labores diarias.

РИНОК ЖИТЛОВОЇ НЕРУХОМОСТІ: ЙОГО СУТНІСТЬ I РОЛЬ У ФІНАНСОВО-ІНВЕСТИЦІЙНИХ ПРОЦЕСАХ
Authors: Кузнєцова Анжела , Штейнгауз Дмитро 
Published: July 2020

Процеси трансформації, що відбуваються у фінансовому секторі та зокрема в економіці, потребують змін у фінансово-кредитних інструментах для забезпечення ефективного функціонування ринку житлової нерухомості. Розглянуто нерухомість у п’ятьох площинах суспільного виміру: соціальній, економічній, правовій, фізичній, фінансово-інвестиційній. Для кращого розуміння унікальності нерухомості запропоновано враховувати її сутнісні характеристики з позиції їхнього розподілу на родові (притаманні нерухомості загалом) й особливі (пов’язані із специфікою житлової нерухомості). Представлено класифікацію видів житла за ознакою соціально-майнової стратифікації населення. Для ринку житлової нерухомості визначено три типи характерних ознак (атрибутів): родових атрибутів, спеціальних і специфічних ознак. В узагальненому варіанті наведено підходи, які вчені здебільшого застосовують для визначення поняття «ринок житлової нерухомості», та сформульовано власне бачення щодо трактування цього поняття.
