Falij-e-Nisfi(Hemiplegia) is a condition in which there is loss of movement and sensation in longitudinal half of the either side of the body. It is the commonest form of paralysis, occurring due to stroke or cerebrovascular accident. Stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide and second most common cause of death. Post stroke hemiplegia is most common causes of disability in adults. In India its prevalence is 56.9 per 100,000.Unani scholars from various part of the world have been treating the condition of Falij-e-Nisfi (Hemiplegia) since centuries successfully. Different effective regimes are available in Unani system of medicine (USM) for the treatment of Falij-e-Nisfi (Hemiplegia). Those treatments are effective and having fewer side effects. In the present paper the case studies of two female patients suffering from Falij-e-Nisfi(Hemiplegia) due to stroke treated with Unani formulations is reported. This case series documented the successful treatment and prevention of recurrence of hemiplegia through Unani medicines .It concluded that the Unani regimen was effective and safe in the management of hemiplegia.

Tibb-e-Unaniis a completely developed system of medicine which is well known for the prevention and management of the diseases. In classical literature of Unani system, modes of treatment classified as Ilaj-bit-Tadbeer-wa-Taghzia, Ilaj-bi'l-dawa and Ilaj-bi'l-Yad. The basic concept of disease in Unani system is that disease occurs when the individual is deviated from Asbab-e-Sitta Zaroriyah (six essential factors). Modification in these essential factors is necessary to achieve the health and maintenance of normal functions of the body. Makool-wa-Mashroob (foods and drinks) is the second most important factor among them. Good nutrition is vital for complete health and essential for physical growth, normal body composition and mental development. Individual's nutritional state can protect them from or predispose them towards chronic disease. Nutrition is thus both a preventive and a healing science. A modified diet is one that has been altered to include greater or fewer nutrients, to impact a variation in the texture or consistency of what is ingested, or to limit the consumption of any substance. Almost all ancient Unani scholars and [2] physicians such as Hippocrates, Galen and Rhazes etc. have compiled number of books on diet therapy on the basis of the principle of Makool wa Mashroob (foods and drinks). Some specific modified diets such as Ma'ushaeer (barley water), Ma'ulahm (meat distillate), Ma'ul Asl (honey water), Rububiyat (fruit's extract), Ma'ul jubn (whey), mentioned in authentic Unani literature. These modified diets are very much effective in the prevention of noncommunicable diseases (NCD's). Recent studies exhibited these modified diets are rich in nutrients, antioxidants, minerals, etc. Therefore it may be used for prevention of various ailments such as diabetes, obesity, hypertention, etc. In the present paper an attempt has been made to discuss the importance of Unani ditetics in the prevention of NCD's.
tibb -e- unanii是一个完全发达的医学系统，以预防和管理疾病而闻名。在Unani系统的古典文献中，治疗方式分为Ilaj-bit-Tadbeer-wa-Taghzia、Ilaj-bi'l-dawa和Ilaj-bi'l-Yad。Unani系统中疾病的基本概念是，当个体偏离Asbab-e-Sitta Zaroriyah(六个要素)时，疾病就会发生。在这些基本因素的修改是必要的，以实现健康和维持身体的正常功能。Makool-wa-Mashroob(食物和饮料)是其中第二重要的因素。良好的营养对全面的健康至关重要，对身体生长、正常的身体成分和智力发育至关重要。个人的营养状况可以保护他们免受慢性疾病的侵害，也可以使他们易患慢性疾病。因此，营养学既是一门预防科学，也是一门治疗科学。改良饮食是指通过增加或减少营养成分、改变食物的质地或稠度，或限制某种物质的摄入而改变的饮食。几乎所有的古代Unani学者和[2]医生，如希波克拉底，盖伦和雷泽斯等，都根据Makool wa Mashroob(食物和饮料)的原则编写了大量关于饮食治疗的书籍。一些特定的改良饮食，如Ma'ushaeer(大麦水)，Ma'ulahm(肉类蒸馏物)，Ma'ul Asl(蜂蜜水)，Rububiyat(水果提取物)，Ma'ul jubn(乳清)，在正宗的Unani文献中提到。这些改良饮食在预防非传染性疾病方面非常有效。最近的研究表明，这些改良的饮食富含营养、抗氧化剂、矿物质等。因此，它可用于预防各种疾病，如糖尿病、肥胖、高血压等。本文试图讨论Unani营养学在预防非传染性疾病中的重要性。

Introduction: Currently, dermatologists across India are inundated with cases of dermatophytosis presenting with unusual large lesions, ring within ring lesions, multiple site lesions (tinea cruris et corporis), and corticosteroid modified lesions, making diagnosis a difficult bet. This changed face of dermatophytosis has created a real panic among dermatologists. The recent prevalence of dermatophytos is in India ranges from 36.6–78.4%. Skin mycosis is the most frequent form of skin infections accounting for 20-25% of world population Dermatophytosis management has become an important public health issue, with a large void in research in the area of disease pathophysiology and management. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted to find out the prevalence of Qooba in adult rural population of Pune, Maharashtra. Subjects in the age group of 30 – 60 years of either gender attending the outpatient departments of hospitals from the designated study areas were included for the study. The random sampling method was used to obtain the sample of studied population. Approval of the Institutional Ethical Committee was also obtained. Assessment of subjective and objective parameters was done as per the pre-tested Performa and scales. KOH test was used as investigation of evaluation. The collected data was entered in MS-Excel and the master chart prepared accordingly data. The qualitative data was analyzed by chi square test. Result: The prevalence of dermatophytosis was 18.88%. Majority of patients (60%) having dermatophytosis were in the age group of 30-35 years. Dermatophytosis was found to be predominant in males. Itching was found in all the positive cases. The results revealed that Tinea Cruris was the most prevalent among the cases. Conclusion: Overcrowding, low socioeconomic status, unhygienic living conditions, outdoor work, increased physical activity and excessive sweating predisposes to ring worm infection. The present study showed the involvement of several fungi in dermatophytosis infection and hence detection of the causative agent is necessary for appropriate treatment of dermatophytosis.

Pharmacovigilance (PV), which is also known as drug safety. It is the pharmacological science relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects, particularly long term, and short term side effects of medicines [1]. The key role of this field of medicine is to ensure the safe reception of drugs, examining the adverse side effects reported by patients. The compound causing side effects in the drug need to be identified and the remedy to counteract the side effect should be explored. This study was carried out at Regional Research Institute of Medicine (RRIUM), Srinagar, wherein a total of 10 patients suffering from general body ache, common cold and fever etc were analysed for the adverse side effects caused after prescribing the pharmacopoeial drug Habb-e-Karanjawa. It was observed that almost all patients suffered from gastritis after the consumption of the drug. After a thorough analysis of the ingredients of the drug it was concluded that the corrosive effect of compound copper sulphate or TutiyaSabz present in Habb-e-Karanjawa can be the main reason of causing gastrointestinal problems in patients.

Hasah al-Kulya (renal calculi) is one of the leading problems affecting kidney. Recurrence of kidney stone formation is approximately 50%, after 2-3 years of recovery. This makes the prevention of its recurrence an essential problem to address. Despite substantial progress in medical therapy, there is no drug with satisfactory effect. Furthermore, the drugs those are being used for its treatment have many side effects. Baranjasif (Achillea millefolium Linn.) is one of the drugs used in Unani Medicine that has been extensively used for the management of urolithiasis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the lithotriptic action of Baranjasif in-vitro. In this study, calcium oxalate stones were prepared experimentally followed by the preparation of semipermeable membrane by dissolving the outer shell of egg in 2M HCl overnight. Calcium oxalate stones weighing 10mg were then allowed to react with 7 extracts of A. millefolium L. viz, Pet-ether, Chloroform, Ethyl Acetate, Methanol, Acetone, Hydro-alcohol and Aqueous by packing them together in semipermeable membrane. The reaction was performed on three different concentrations of each extract i.e., 50 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg. In addition to 7 groups, two more groups were taken, i) a negative group containing only the stone of weight 10 mg and ii) standard group consisting of stone weighing 10 mg and cystone (in concentrations of 50 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg). Statistical methods like mean standard deviation, percentage dissolution, percentage inhibition, IC and Pearson's correlation were applied to understand the extent of dissolution of stones 50 in each group. The study advocates that Baranjasif reveals lithotriptic activity comparable to standard drug. The efficacy of the drug is directly proportional to its concentration. Ethyl acetate extract of the plant showed the most promising results.

COVID-19 pandemic has been propagating with high amplitude and paralyzing the healthcare system with powerful tentacles. Nonavailability of specific drug against the Corona virus disease-19 turned the world attention towards finding ways to strengthen the host defense, the most effective measure of containment of spread of pandemic. Coral has potential to be used as an immunomodulator for this purpose. This article is aimed to provide an overview of prophylactic role of coral in relevance with current pandemic. A manual literature survey of classical Unani texts was conducted to collect the information on Marjān (coral). In addition, electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar and Science Direct were searched to identify researches conducted on Coral as well as to obtain recent information about COVID-19 outbreak. The keywords used were “Marjān”, “Coral”, “Containment”, “COVID-19”, and “Unani Medicine”. The literature review shows that Unani philosophers have emphasized the role of coral as source of calcium in enhancing the immunity of the host linking their action on vital organ. Marjān (coral) as described in classical Unani text seems to be much relevant in today's context. Arguably calcium is the most important mineral in enhancing the immunity to strengthen the host defense. Hence it is our opinion; it is worth assessing this animal origin drug may be used as prophylactic agent in current outbreak.
