Published: October 2024

Acharya Charaka has mentioned fifteen koshtanga in the shareera. Koshtanga refers to the viscera. Two koshtanga, Yakrit and Pliha, have been designated as the moola sthana (primary centres of physiological activity) of the Raktavaha srotas (haemopoiesis). The description of Yakrit & Pliha corresponds to the functions of the liver and spleen in contemporary anatomy. Kushta (skin disease) is a Rakta prodashaja vikara (disease caused due to the vitiation of blood). Sidma Kushta, or psoriasis, is one of the eighteen kushta listed in the Samhita. Its prevalence in the Indian population ranges from 0.44 to 2.8%. Recent observational studies have shown that the prevalence of NAFLD [Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease] (as diagnosed either by imaging or by histology) is remarkably higher in psoriatic patients (occurring in up to 50% of these patients) and suggested the presence of a novel hepato dermal axis. In this pilot study, six individuals diagnosed with sidma kushta were subjected to ultrasonography of the abdomen & selected biochemical assays on the function of the liver, to observe the relationship between sidma kushta and moola sthana of raktavaha srotas.The data was statistically analyzed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient and a correlation was observed between the fatty liver grade and the levels of ALT, AST, and blood ammonia.

Published: October 2024

Oligozoospermia (Low sperm count) is one of the most common causes of male infertility today, which is easily diagnosed via semen analysis, keeping in mind the semen qualitative parameters preset by WHO. There is however no clear reason as to why the condition occurs except for the congenital reasons. Heat, smoking, alcohol are certain factors that might affect the sperm count, are being studied. Ayurvedic scriptures explain Shukra Dhatu vitiation by Vata-Pitta-Kapha which leads to Shukra Dosha like Ksheen or Alpa Shukra or Shukrakshaya. The article here presents a case of a 35-year-old healthy male patient with a known case of Oligozoospermia (8 million/mL), infertile for 5 years, who was successfully managed by Ayurvedic intervention within a period of about 5 months. Accordingly, his condition was diagnosed as Shukrakshaya in the OPD, and his Ayurvedic intervention was thoroughly planned. The case was managed by initiating Agnidipaka and Aampachaka Chikitsa, followed by using Virechana for Shodhana. Later the patient was taken on Shaman-Vajikarana & Balya Chikitsa for 3 months, where a significant rise in the sperm count variables depicting normal values was observed, discussed further in this article.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Kallataippu (NSMC-XA, Urolithiasis or Nephrolithiasis) is one of the most common emerging urological disorders worldwide with an increasing frequency in geriatric patients (>65 years). Siddha system provides oral medications for the management of urolithiasis which is non-invasive and cost effective. Method: A 68-year-old patient approached the OPD with complaints of episodic flank pain radiating from the loin to the groin region, pain, and an urge to urinate. On interrogation, the patient gave a history of poor water intake. Ultrasound scan of the abdomen revealed the renal calculi measuring 3 mm noted in the mid-pole calyx of the right kidney, 4 mm in the upper pole calyx of the left kidney and the Urinary bladder is partially distended with a 4.0 mm thickened wall. It was diagnosed as Kallataippu (XA- Urolithiasis) based on signs and symptoms and investigational reports. The patient was administered a combination of medicines based on the Siddha line of treatment. Result: In the first follow-up, the patient informed that he experienced moderate pain and disturbance in the urine flow and the first stone was expelled out through urine on the second follow-up. The patient got moderate relief from pain in the abdomen and did not experience dysuria, and the second stone was expelled through urine on the third follow-up. The patient was asked to take CT-KUB on the fourth follow-up. The reported case has a prospective follow-up for 6 months and was found to be free of renal stone-related complaints. Conclusion: The present work suggests that the combination of Siddha drugs markedly worked well on the disintegration and expulsion of the calculi in the geriatric age.

SOD (Superoxide dismutase) belongs to a class of enzymes and stands as the primary defense against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) are believed to have rasayana (rejuvenating) and vayasthapana (anti-aging) properties in ayurveda. Several studies show the antioxidant properties of individual drugs in disease-induced conditions but a gap was observed in the study of the antioxidant properties of guduchi and punarnava in normal healthy subjects and the combined effect of punarnava in conjunction with guduchi. To gain insight into the potential effects of these herbal formulations on SOD activity study was planned. The Animal experiment was carried out as per the guidelines of CPCSEA (Committee for Control and Supervision of Animal Experiment) laboratory animals after seeking permission from IAEC, with 32 (24+8 considering 20% dropout) healthy male Wistar rats. Rats are divided into four groups, 8 (6+2) animals in each. Distilled water, guduchi kwath (GK), punarnava kwath (PK), and a combination of guduchi and punarnava kwath (GPK) given orally with help of 2 ml syringe in doses 8.1 ml/kg in different 4 groups respectively as Normal control (NC) group, Trial group of guduchi (TGG), Trial group of punarnava (TGP), Trial group of guduchi and punarnava (TGGP) for 30 days. The blood sample through orbital punctures of all 24 animals was collected for assessment SOD levels before administration of the test drug and after 30 days of intervention. (Cu-Zn) SOD activity was determined by using a simple and rapid method with a spectrophotometer in the laboratory. The TGG (P value 0.001), TGP (P value 0.035), and TGGP (P value 0.010) groups did exhibit statistically significant changes in SOD levels after giving GK, PK, and GPK intervention while the NC (P value 0.335) group did not show a significant difference. Higher SOD activity indicates a more antioxidant defense mechanism, thus GK, PK and GPK can protect against oxidative damage which supports the potential slowing down age-related changes and promoting healthier aging.

Published: October 2024

Speed is one of the major factors in car crashes. Many lives could have been saved if emergency services had been alerted to the disaster and arrived in time. For the sake of protecting valuable human lives, an effective automatic accident detection system with prompt reporting of the accident scene to emergency services is essential. Therefore, this research proposes some effective Deep Learning techniques that properly recognize the incidence of accidents. The paper introduces two different techniques for image classification, with a particular focus on distinguishing between accident and non-accident images. The dataset used for the proposed model is taken from Kaggle, which is a collection of CCTV images. The first approach is a hybridized TL-ML method that employs transfer learning techniques that use different pre-trained versions of convolutional neural networks to extract features from image datasets. These extracted features are then fed into various machine learning classifiers to categorize the images as either Accident or Non-accident. To make the final decision, a voting classifier is utilized to choose the best classification outcome from the set of previously employed machine learning classifiers. In the second method, a modified Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) called SpinalNet is adopted. The performance of these models was evaluated by comparing them with each other and with a customized CNN base model. SpinalNet consistently surpassed the other models in terms of Precision, Recall, F1-Score, and Accuracy, demonstrating its outstanding capabilities.
