Plantar Fasciitis: An Updated Review
Authors: Tseng Wen-Che , Chen Yun-Chang , Lee Tsung-Min , Chen Wen-Shiang 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common musculoskeletal disease. Histologic findings of patients with PF showed mainly chronic degenerative processes rather than inflammation. In addition to mechanical factors, such as repetitive stress and reduced ankle dorsiflexion, PF is also linked to rheumatologic diseases and genetic factors. Ultrasound is becoming a standard imaging technique for assessing PF. Major sonographic findings included increased plantar fascia thickness and hypoechoic plantar fascia. In addition to traditional B-mode ultrasound, sonoelastography can also be utilized to diagnose PF. Ultrasound can also be used to guide therapeutic interventions. Over 80% of patients with PF improved under nonsurgical treatment. Treatment options for PF include physical therapy, modalities (laser, therapeutic ultrasound), extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), injections, transcatheter arterial embolization, and surgery. For injections, corticosteroid was mostly used in the past but has been replaced gradually by other techniques such as platelet-rich plasma or dextrose prolotherapy. There is also more and more evidence about ESWT in treating PF. Surgery serves as an option for recalcitrant PF cases, and endoscopic fasciotomy seemed to have good outcomes. Ultrasound plays an important role in diagnosing of PF and evaluating the treatment effect, and the use of sonoelastography in addition to traditional B-mode ultrasound may help in the early detection of PF and assessment of the treatment effect.
Graphical methods and rings of invariants on the symmetric algebra
Authors: Bourn Rebecca , Erickson William Q. , Willenbring Jeb F. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractLet G be a complex classical group, and let V be its defining representation (possibly plus a copy of the dual). A foundational problem in classical invariant theory is to write down generators and relations for the ring of G-invariant polynomial functions on the space
$\mathcal P^m(V)$
of degree-m homogeneous polynomial functions on V. In this paper, we replace
$\mathcal P^m(V)$
with the full polynomial algebra
$\mathcal P(V)$
. As a result, the invariant ring is no longer finitely generated. Hence, instead of seeking generators, we aim to write down linear bases for bigraded components. Indeed, when G is of sufficiently high rank, we realize these bases as sets of graphs with prescribed number of vertices and edges. When the rank of G is small, there arise complicated linear dependencies among the graphs, but we remedy this setback via representation theory: in particular, we determine the dimension of an arbitrary component in terms of branching multiplicities from the general linear group to the symmetric group. We thereby obtain an expression for the bigraded Hilbert series of the ring of invariants on
$\mathcal P(V)$
. We conclude with examples using our graphical notation, several of which recover classical results.

The disease Amavata described in classical Ayurvedic literature is closely resembles with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Amavata is a crippling condition where simultaneously aggravated Vata and Ama associated with each other settles in Sandhis and produce Sandhishoola, Sandhishotha, Sparshaasahitwa, which is similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis. Amavata is the challenging problem for medical science with different treatment protocol. The objectives of this randomized parallel group Comparative study were to evaluate the effect of Vatari Guggulu and Shatpushpadi Churna with Simhanada Guggulu in the management of Amavata w.s.r. to Rheumatoid Arthritis This Study was conducted on 32 patients selected randomly from OPD and IPD of R.G.G.P.G. Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Paprola, Dist. Kangra (H.P.) and divided into 2 groups. Group I and Group II having 16 patients in each group. Group A were managed with Vatari Guggulu 500mg BD with lukewarm water and Shatpushpadi Churna 3gm BD with lukewarm water while Group B were managed with Simhanada Guggulu 500mg BD with lukewarm water for 6 weeks. Results showed statistically significant difference in effect of Group I and Group II on subjective parameters – Angamarda, Trishna, Apaka, Jadya, Sparsh Ashyata, Vidvibandha, Nidravipraya, ESR, walking time and grip strength. Percent wise Vatari Guggulu and Shatpushpadi Churna are found to be more effective than Simhanada Guggulu for all assessment criteria in the management of Amavata.
Ayurvedic Management along with Hypnotherapy in Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (Conversion Disorder)

Published: November 2023

Functional neurological symptom disorder (FND)/Conversion disorder may be broadly defined as the presence of neurologic symptoms in the absence of a neurologic diagnosis, or when a neurologic diagnosis exists, it does not fully account for all of the patient’s symptoms. The cardinal symptom is limited solely to neurological symptoms. The diagnosis is made on the basis of the positive findings of the examination demonstrating preserved neurological function. Yoshapasmara, described in Madhava nidana, is comparable to FND where gathi / samvedhana (motor or sensory functions) are lost in the absence of underlying neurological conditions.
A 29-year female was admitted with C/o Weakness and numbness in the left lower limb for 6 months. She had severe stress factors due to family conflicts. One day after a conflict with her mother-in-law, she felt difficulty walking on her left leg. They consulted a neurologist and done imaging, which was normal. On detailed clinical examination, the diagnosis was FND. She was managed with Internal medications and Udwartana, Abyanga, and Vyathyasa chikitsa (Dry and unctuous therapies alternatively). Hypnotherapy was administered in addition to Ayurvedic management to address stress factors. There were noticeable changes in the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), muscle strength, and could walk without assistance with some difficulty after treatment. The neuropsychiatric perspective incorporating biopsychosocial aspects at the individual level, including consideration of Psychological and Spiritual aspects wherever relevant, is crucial for better outcomes in such cases.

Panchkarma is the most integral part of Ayurvedic management. It is precautionary, promotive, conservative, therapeutic and reconstructive therapy. As per Ayurveda, the seasonal variations have an impact on the biological systems eliciting into the accumulation and aggravation of specific Doshas in a particular season like Kapha accumulation in Hemanta Ritu and aggravation in Vasanta Ritu, Pitta accumulation in Varsha ritu and aggravation in Sharada ritu and Vata accumulation in Grishma Ritu and aggravation in Pravrita Ritu. Vasantika Vamana is carried out approximately in the month of Chaitra -Vaishakha for the expulsion of vitiated Kapha dosha for forbidding the impending ailments like allergic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, allergic sinusitis, bronchial asthma, migraine, psoriasis, indigestion, anorexia, lethargy, hyperacidity, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, acne vulgaris, eczema, urticaria, etc. Total of 57 volunteers were registered in this study out of which 45 were coped with classical Vamana Karma. The study was accomplished on 45 evidently healthy volunteers, between the age group of 18 and 60 years to observe the changes in lipid profile and weight before and after Vamana procedure. The outcome of the study was significant.There was also an improvement in appetite (Agni) of the volunteers after Vamana. Volunteers with irregular bowel habits showed significant improvement. On an average the minimum, maximum, total dose and total days of Snehapana were 36.40ml, 187.21ml, 578.59ml and 5.01 days respectively. Average quantity of Madanaphala, Ksheera, Yashtimadhu Phanta and Lavanodaka was 5.81g, 1130.29ml, 3202.9ml and 2489.13 ml respectively.

The objective of this research is to explore the production of biodiesel using Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) as the primary feedstock and calcined eggshell ash as an environmentally sustainable catalyst. The WVO, characterized by a Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content of 2.86%, serves as the primary feedstock for biodiesel production through transesterification. The eggshell ash undergoes a rigorous process, including washing with distilled water to remove impurities, drying at 100ºC for 24 hours, crushing into fine particles, and final calcination in a muffle furnace at 900ºC. Process optimization is achieved by varying key reaction parameters, including temperature, catalyst loading, and the methanol-oil molar ratio. The optimal conditions are identified at 65°C, utilizing a methanol-oil molar ratio of 6:1 and a 5wt% catalyst loading. Under these optimized reaction conditions, a substantial biodiesel yield of 91.3% is obtained. The produced biodiesel meets the stringent quality requirements specified by the American Standard (ASTM D 6751) and European Standard (EN 14214) for biodiesel fuel, ensuring its suitability for various applications. This study demonstrates the potential of utilizing calcined eggshell ash as an eco-friendly catalyst for sustainable biodiesel production from WVO.

Published: November 2023

Religious tourism in India has witnessed significant growth over the years, with an increasing number of women participating in such travel experiences. Despite the patriarchal and male-dominated orientation of Indian society, women have been actively engaging in religious tours, both as part of group travel and independently. In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a noticeable rise in women travelling in small groups or embarking on solo religious journeys.
This study aims to explore the socioeconomic implications of religious tourism from the perspective of Indian women. By analysing personal experiences, beliefs, encountered challenges, and proposed solutions, the research sheds light on the economic and social aspects of women's religious tourism in the Indian context. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire administered to female tourists who have independently undertaken religious tours. The study employs an empirical approach to provide insights into the changing dynamics of female participation in religious tourism and offers valuable perspectives for policymakers.
The findings reveal significant structural changes taking place in India, particularly concerning the increased participation of women in religious tourism. The study uncovers key insights into the economic and social implications of religious tourism for women, highlighting the challenges they face and their expectations from policymakers. By addressing the previously neglected issues specific to women travellers in previous research, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the motivations and experiences of female tourists.
"Recuperar mi gravedad" entre el Origen y lo Originario: La espiritualidad como proyecto originario de la "religatio" en la dinamicidad de la comunión y la participación
Authors: Ofilada Mina Macario 
Published: November 2023

Este ensayo es un estudio programático con la finalidad de proponer un nuevo modelo por la comprensión y desarrollo de la espiritualidad. Empleando la noción clave de ‘Religatio’, desde una inspiración agustiniana, la espiritualidad se presenta como un proyecto en la historia, partiendo del Misterio, que es origen y originario (o el mismo origen al final y como meta) tras la experiencia enriquecedora, que es mediación. El resultado es una presentación vigorosa de la esencia de la espiritualidad en su pretensión metafísica, realización histórica y mediación sacramentológica o experiencial. Todo ello abrirá nuevos horizontes de comprensión.

Published: November 2023

El escrito hace una reflexión acerca de la seguridad del paciente durante el proceso de atención que demanda en las diferentes unidades de salud. Existen normas y protocolos que garantizan la calidad de atención en los servicios que brindan los profesionales de la salud. Las instituciones sanitarias públicas y privadas están comprometidas a garantizar las condiciones para que se desarrolle un proceso seguro, eficaz, eficiente y libre de errores, así mismo, los profesionales sanitarios desde la formación tienen un compromiso que demanda de principios éticos y deontológicos, de manera que, todos han de cumplir con esas normas garantes de salvaguardar la salud y la vida del paciente bajo el principio de no maleficencia. La Organización Mundial de la Salud por su parte ha enfatizado fuertemente en estrategias que garantizan la seguridad en la atención al usuario diseñadas en los diferentes instrumentos de monitoreo y evaluación de indicadores de los servicios de salud. Estas estrategias están dirigidas desde aspectos estructurales y organizativos en el sistema de la salud pública, pero también, a la acción humana; como los profesionales de la salud son capaces de trabajar en equipo, de interactuar de manera efectiva cada contexto de actuación sin perder de vista que, cada uno tiene una responsabilidad diferente en el proceso de atención. Por esta razón, se afirma que la seguridad del paciente no es sólo responsabilidad del personal de enfermería, aunque sean estos quienes tienen una fuerte responsabilidad con ellos.
