The classic branches of the coeliac trunk are the left gastric, common hepatic and the splenic arteries. In a routine dissection of a 72year old male cadaver at the Faculty of Medicine, University Sri Lanka a variation of five branches originating directly from the abdominal aorta at the level of the origin of coeliac trunk was observed; left gastric artery, splenic artery, main hepatic artery, first direct hepatic branch and second direct hepatic branch. This deviation from three main classic branches of coeliac trunk to five direct branches is a very rare occurrence. Records of this type of vascular patterns are really important in planning and performing abdominal surgical and radiological procedures as well as radiological interventions.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder characterized mainly by a disruption of androgen secretion or endocrine feedback mechanism dysfunction occurring subtlety during adolescence and progressively impairing the ovarian folliculogenesis which affects preponderantly women of reproductively active age. Most of the reproductive active period of women is hampered by this condition, thereof reducing their fertility and causing metabolic disturbances. Traditional Chinese Medicine principles have been historically settled to develop Chinese Herbal Medicine formulas designed to treat various ailments including reproductive disorders. This study addresses the mechanisms of action of Jia-Wei-Xiao-Yao-San formula by examining the functional predicted PCOS-related targets networks first enriched by STITCH chemical interactions and then analyzed by STRING protein interactions database. Using the highest confidence interaction score as a screening binding parameter, we obtained a total of 274 PCOS-related targets interacting with 58 bioactive compounds from the formula and 22 PCOS-related drugs interacting with a total of 133 PCOS-related targets. Our analysis identified a total of 84 common PCOS-related targets shared by both the formula and the PCOS-related drugs and demonstrate the predicted PCOS-related protein-protein interaction network resulting in various KEGG pathways. These findings indicated the formula functionality role preponderantly in cholesterol metabolism, ovarian steroidogenesis, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, and adipocytokine signaling pathway. Numerous compounds identified here are known to have high binding interactions with PCOS-related targets. Our methodological approach demonstrates that both the drugs-PCOS-related targets network support Jia-Wei- Xiao-Yao-San formula as an appropriate Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat at least the symptoms associated with PCOS manifestations.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), conjointly referred to as atypical and dysfunctional female internal reproductive organ bleeding, is often inflicting iron deficiency anemia.1,2 It will affect the standard of life negatively. AUB may be a common condition because it affects over seventieth of all gynecological consults (3). AUB affects two-hundredths of generative aged girls.2 The underlying causes could embrace gonad issues, fibroids, endometrial dysplasia, female internal reproductive organ polyps, underlying harm issues, aspect effects from contraception, or cancer.1–3 over one class of causes could apply in a personal case. The workup’s primary step is to rule out an abnormal abdominal or physiological state.3 The AUB’s causes are divided into nine groups: endometrial polyps, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, gynecological cancer, coagulation disorders, issues with biological process, mucosa issues, attention induced, and not nonetheless classified.3–5 Over one class of causes could apply in a personal case. Attention induced causes could embrace the aspect effects of contraception. Treatment depends on the underlying cause2,3 and includes oral contraceptive pills, gonadotropin-releasing secretion (GnRH) agonists, oral antifibrinolytics, NSAIDs, and surgery like mucosa ablation or ablation. Polyps, endometriosis, and cancer are treated with surgery. Iron supplementation is also required.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is the most common cranial neuralgia, defined as sudden, usually unilateral, severe, brief, stabbing, recurrent episodes of pain in the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve; some patients experience also a degree of dull, burning, or tingling pain between attacks. TN may have a significant impact upon quality of life due to the associated depres sion and anxiety. TN’s pain is generally managed with medical therapy alone, carbamazepine being the first-line medica tion. Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare inherited disorder associated with primary craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia and other anatomical abnormalities. Acupuncture is a valid therapeutic option for painful conditions, including neuralgias. Hereby, we describe remission from trigeminal neuralgia- related pain in a 37years old man with Pfeiffer Syndrome, after acupuncture.

Bhela samhita is an Ayurvedic (Indian system of medicine) treatise written by ‘Maharshi Bhela’ (belongs to 1000-2000 BC). Maharshi Bhela was the student of popular preceptor ‘Acharya Punarvasu Atreya’ and colleague of ‘Agnivesha’ (author of the popular Ayurvedic text ‘Charaka samhita’). Bhela samhita consists of 8 sections and 120 chapters. ‘Indriya sthana’ is one of the eight sections of ‘Bhela samhita’ which comprises 12 chapters. ‘Bhela Indriya sthana’ deals with prognostic aspects. ‘Sadyo maraneeyam indriyam’ is the fourth chapter of ‘Bhela indriya sthana’ which contains the description of various emergency conditions with high mortality rates. The word ‘sadyo maraneeyam’ denotes an immediate death caused by various emergency conditions. Though previous works have explored ‘Charaka indriya sthana’, studies on ‘Bhela indriya sthana’ are lacking. The present work is aimed to explore the contents of ‘Sadyo maraneeyam indriyam’ of ‘Bhela indriya sthana’. Various emergency conditions such as coronary artery disease, cardiovascular disease, acute coronary syndrome, Granulomatosis with polyangiitis, increased intra-cranial pressure, abdominal compartment syndrome, cancer cachexia, increased intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic pressure due to benign or malignant tumours, prostate cancer, neurosyphilis with saddle nose and ocular manifestations, gastro-duodenal perforation or ulcer, perforation of peptic ulcer, acute abdomen, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, lower gastrointestinal bleeding, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, colon cancer, proctalgia fugax, disseminated intravascular coagulation, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, coagulation disorders, cardiac cachexia, coma, shock, pulmonary cachexia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease etc are documented in this chapter by ‘Maharshi Bhela’. ‘Maharshi Bhela’ has provided a list of signs & symptoms or clinical features of emergency conditions having poor prognosis.

The COVID-19 outbreak, which emerged in Wuhan city China, at the end of 2019, burgeoned into a pandemic in March 2020 and now has become a grievous public health issue. One of the pronounced features of this malady was its propensity of transmission in the healthcare premises, among close family and social contact. The stability of the virus at different temperature and the influence of meteorological factors on the transmission posed to be key factors for the spread of COVID-19 since the beginning. This study aimed to find the impact of temperature on the extremity of the COVID-19 outbreak on a worldwide scale and to explore the association between COVID-19 death and weather parameter. As it was earlier speculated that the transmission of COVID-19 might be dwindling or even disappeared when the temperature and UV radiation increase in the summer. So, since the climate seems to be one of the key variances between the countries with high and low COVID-19 cases, we have cross-checked temperature among the topmost 50 affected countries with COVID-19. Our perusal showed no possible association between low temperature and high temperature with increases number of daily COVID-19 cases throughout the world.

Bloom’s taxonomy classifies the goals of modern education system. It defines three domain of learning cognitive, affective and psychomotor domain, related with head, heart and body respectively. Ayurveda mentioned four qualities of physician in the form of chatushpada (quadruple), as to acquire knowledge, to gain practical knowledge and importance of cleanliness. Proposed review study was carried out to high light the concept of traditional education system designed by Acharya Charaka, Sushruta and Vagbhata to reflect goals of traditional education system. Classical texts (Samhita) of Ayurveda as Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Sangraha and Ashtanga Hridaya were consulted as references to know the qualities of chatushpada. Literature available regarding modern Bloom’s taxonomy was also collected. These references from both streams of knowledge were compared and analyzed critically. Literature search revealed that qualities of bhishak (physician) among chatushpada, includes the three domain of Ayurvedic education system. Paryavadatatva means having excellence in theoretical knowledge, bahushodrustakarmata means having extensive practical experience, dakshya means dexterity and shouch means cleanliness of mana (mind) and sharir (body). If physician endowed with these qualities leads to elimination of disorders. As Bloom’s taxonomy classify the goals of modern education system, the four qualities of physician reflects the goals of traditional system of education in Ayurveda.
