BACKGROUND: Increasing prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in the Indian population is a major community health concern in future. Camp based screening of low bone mineral density (BMD) by using calcaneum quantitative ultrasound scan (QUS) is widely used low cost procedure in India. Hence Calcaneum QUS was used to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in rural population of Gurukunj Ashram, Dist Amravati (Maharashtra) in present camp based study. METHODS: In present study total 99 participants aged 25-65 years were included. Each participant was enquired for their demographic details, dietary habit, lifestyle pattern, exercise and menstrual history related information in prescribed format and assessed for BMD (as T score) by using calcaneum QUS. The data were express in percentages and proportions and results were expressed as descriptive statistics. Chi square test was used to compare the risk factors for categorical variables. RESULTS: Out of total participants (n=99), 66.66% (n = 66) were female subjects and 33.3% (n = 33) were male. As per the WHO criteria of BMD, 34.34 % participants were osteoporotic, 56.56% were osteopenic, whereas approximately 9.09% had normal bone density. A significant association (χ2 = 38.50, P < 0.00001) was reported between the T‑score and different age groups. Study shows apparent increasing trend in the frequency of osteopenic and osteoporotic participants with age of 35 and 56 years onward respectively.

Pilonidal disease is a common anorectal problem that typically affects young people. Pilonidal sinus describes a hair-filled cavity in the subcutaneous fat of the post sacral intergluteal region known as the natal cleft. the pilonidal sinus, presented with boil with slight seropurulent foul discharge from post anal region in the natal cleft.
The most commonly used surgical techniques for pilonidal sinus includes excision with primary closure and excision with reconstructive flap with their own limitation(PNS).In Ayurveda acharya Sushruta has considered it under shalyaj nadi vrana ( sinus or fistula due to foreign body). Sushruta mentioned the chedana as well as ksharkarma in the management of Nadivrana. Hence the study concluded that excision & ksharkarma in pilonidal sinus is one of the potential treatment option to avoid recurrence.
Nowadays Pilonidal Sinus (PNS) is becoming common disease in between 20-50 years of age, in men and mostly dense hairy persons. Commonly it occurs midline over the coccyx. It results in purulent discharge, pain and discomfort. In Ayurvedic practice, there are many surgeons who are practicing classical Ksharasutra management to treat PNS, which is very effective but there are some problems using classical Kshara in the management of PNS, such as discomfort, burning sensation, itching and irritation due to Snuhi-ksheera. So patients can do their daily routine work without any pain or discomfort.
In Ayurveda, Shastra and Anushstra Karma are described in detail. Kshara is best among Shastra and Anushastras. Two types of Kshara are there - Paneeya and Pratisarneeya. Pratisarneeya Kshara is of three types- Mridu, Madhyama and Teekshana. Kshara Karma include - Pratisarneeya Kshara application, Kshara Sutra therapy and Kshara Varti. Pratisaraniya Kshara is mainly used in wound management, various anorectal disorders such as Arsha (Haemorrhoids), kushtha, Arbuda, Dushta Nadivrana, Guda Bhramsha (Rectal prolapse). Kshara is a caustic material. It causes chemical burn on the area where it is applied. It helps in sloughing of necrosed and infected tissues. Kshara Sutra therapy is used specially in Bhagandara (Fistula in Ano), Nadivrana (Pilonidal sinus) and various benign growth of skin such as papilloma, warts etc. Kshara Varti is used in chronic non healing wounds for debridement and in sinuses or fistula in ano. Ksahra Karma has been very much effective non surgical means in the management of various disorders especially in anorectal disorders.

REVIEW ON DROUGHT TOLERANT MEDICINAL PLANTS
Authors: Prachi Khaire  
Published: April 2021

In India, where agriculture is the main occupation of about 70% of the population, the total area under cultivation is about 169.7 M ha. The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like droughts have increased during the last few decades due to global warming. In our country 1/6th of the total geographical area (51.1M ha) contributing 12% of population is drought prone. It covers 13 states including 74 districts.
Drought results in recurrent crop failure and yield reduction. Besides this, medicinal species are difficult to obtain in sufficient quantities from traditional suppliers owing to manpower scarcity and rising production cost, necessity of their cultivation in farms arises. So, the drought-tolerant plant species with medicinal values have been listed. Out of these, some plant species like Adhatoda, Tribulus & Ricinus require very low maintenance and man power.
Now-a-days, good foreign market exists for species like Aloe, Withania, Cassia, Liquorice, Rouwolfia, Datura and Lowsonia. So these cash crops procured from drought prone area can fulfill their high demand in market & contributes to India’s performance in terms of value. Therefore, a cultivator of these medicinal plants in drought-prone land will be sure of his investments in terms of cost-benefit ratio.
Further, average land holding in India is tiny and often split into scattered pieces which comes under marginal land holding (below 1 ha). For people below poverty line, cultivation of these drought tolerant plants provides a significant proportion of self-employment opportunities and supplements the income of most sections of India.

Published: April 2021

Dadru is described in Kshudra kushtha by acharya Charak. The symptoms like Kandu (Itching), Raga (Erythema), Pidaka (Exanthemas) and Mandala (Discoid lesions with elevated borders) seen in Dadru is analogous to the symptoms of Dermatophytosis. Most of skin infections caused by dermatophytes are referred as tinea and often severe as well as recurrent. Ringworm infections are also called as dermatophytosis which is characterized by the infection of keratinized tissues like epidermis, hair and nails. In modern science, tropical anti-fungal drugs, oral anti-fungal drugs are used to treat ring worms at various stages. Nowadays resistance is increasing to anti-fungal allopathic drugs. So, there is a need to study and research the effective, safe and affordable Ayurverdic treatment for the management of Dadru So, I decided to work on this topic.
Kapha and pitta doshas are predominant in Dadru. As Dadru is type of kshudra kushta, shodhan therapy must be primary treatment for elimination of vitiated doshas. So panchakarma therapies like Vaman, Virechana and Basti given to the patient as stated in ayurvedic classics. Total effect of Vaman therapy was 29.19 %, Total effect of Vaman followed by Virechana therapy was 58.66 %, Total effect of Vaman followed by Virechana and Basti therapy was 77.58 %. Hence, we can conclude that shodhan therapy effective in management of Dadru but it needs frequent shodhana for total eradication of disease according to bala of patient.
