Respiratory diseases are increasing rapidly and drastically, the reason behind is mainly changed breathing pattern along with environmental pollution as a highly infectious respiratory tract disease like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can cause, physical and psychological respiratory dysfunction in patients. COVID - 19affects the respiratory tract in humans, starts off with mild flu-like symptoms or no symptoms, and further progress to severe symptoms death due to ARDS and pneumonia. Therefore, pulmonary rehabilitation is crucial for both admitted and discharged patients of COVID-19. To counterattack of various disorders developed due to polluted air or other factors. Ayurveda has advised pranayama as a mode of treatment. Pranayama is the procedure of regulated breathing, giving a solution for this problem with its multi-dimensional effects. In many research works, it is found that Pranayama is having multi- systemic benefits on the body. Respiratory system is one among those beneficiary systems. Respiratory system is directly involved in the Pranayama. Rate and rhythm of respiration, lung volumes and capacities, breath holding time etc., will get significantly and positively influenced with the practice of Pranayama. To provide a general overview about the effect of various pranayama (breathing techniques) on COVID-19 infection with special reference to respiratory system. A narrative review was performed based on the available scientific literature.

WHOQOL- BREF is assessment of a multidimensional concept incorporating an individual’s perception of health status embedded with physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains. Various types of health issues are common around the globe due to improper sleep pattern and lifestyle. Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) is the intervention of many clinical conditions like, arresting the aging process, pro-cure the body in debilitating condition by creating a sense of mental wellbeing and increase physical fit-ness. Ashwagandha possesses Vatakaphahara, Jara Vyadhi Nashaka, Balya and Dhatu Vriddhikara prop-erties. Because of these properties, it acts not only preventive but also promotive and curative effects as well as slowdown Jara by breaking the pathogenesis. The present study was opted to analyse the health status (quality of life WHO-QOL BREF)in apparently healthy voluntary subjects. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) on quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) in apparent-ly healthy subjects. Methods: The study includes randomized, single blind controlled comparative study with pre-test and post-test design. 408 apparently healthy subjects were screened for the features of health. 108 apparently Healthy subjects were selected by considering the inclusion criteria, and categorised into two group, (Group 1- control Group and Group 2- study Group) 54 subjects in each group. Subjects in the study group consumed 12 gm of Ashwagandha Choorna (powder) once daily with milk 200ml and the control group consumed milk 200 ml daily once. WHO-QOL BREF Questionnaire was utilised for analys-ing the health status of the individuals before intervention, after intervention and follow up. Results: In the control group (n=54), the mean score overall quality of life was found to be 65.75 before intervention, af-ter complete intervention quality of life was found to be 67.55 and at the time of follow up quality of life was found 67.55. In the study group (n=54), the mean score overall quality of life was found to be 64.38 before intervention of study, after complete intervention quality of life was found to be 71.58 and at the time of follow up quality of life was found 71.61. Conclusion: In this study, subjects were improved to the higher scores among the physical, psychological domains as comparison with the environmental and social domains. Found improvement in the quality of life (WHO BREF) in study group as compared to control group.

Ankle is the most common site where a lower limb fracture can occur. Ankle joint fracture can occur during sports activities and misstep on daily routine. Ankle joint fracture caused by an indirect trauma is about 9% of all other fractures. As far as the modern conservative management is concerned, a below knee plaster for a period of 3-6 weeks is sufficient enough to protect the fractured ankle joint without displacement. This type of plastering technique may cause some complications like muscle atrophy, cartilage degeneration, and a stiff, painful and swollen joint. Hence, an Ayurvedic approach is relevant in the management of ankle joint fractures. In Ayurveda, ankle joint fracture is termed as Gulphasandhi Bhagna. According to Susruta, initially a fractured ankle joint has to be reduced and then Bandhana should be done along with splint to prevent the movements of fractured fragments which is known as Kuśa Bandhana. There is another modified form of bandaging which is in practice over Southern parts of India and is conventionally known as Indian plaster. It is found to be very effective in the management of ankle joint fractures. It may be understood that it offers an optimal immobilisation. Even though splint bandage is the widely practised method, it has certain disadvantages. It may cause delay in healing. It requires the patient to tend more frequent hospital visits. Hence it is proposed to find out the efficacy of Indian plaster in malleolar fractures. A total number of 20 participants with malleolar fracture were selected and evaluated, by taking detailed history and clinical examination. The study was conducted at Shalyatantra OPD of V.P.S.V. Ayurveda college, Kottakkal. Indian plastering was done on 0th,14th and 28th days and retained up to 42nd day. The duration of the treatment was 42 days and follow up was done for 4 weeks after the intervention. Assessment was done on 0th, 14th, 28th and 42nd day for pain, tenderness, stiffness. Radiological assessment was done on 0th, 28th and 42nd day. The results were analysed statistically. On statistical analysis, it was found that the Indian plaster shows 77.74 % of the efficacy.

Aacharya Sushruta, the father of surgery has described few diseases under the heading of Kshudraroga, meaning that category of diseases that do not need major attention and the diseases that are simple and do not result in any complications or cause threat to life. Diseases like Charmkeela (warts) are not causing any noticeable discomfort but still their impact on body and mind is such that the individual suffering from such diseases falls into a state of distress. Aacharya Sushruta has been described a para-surgical proce-dure- Kshara Karma for the management of unwanted growths. Today advanced techniques and surgical procedures like sclerotherapy, laser therapy, cryosurgery, polypectomy etc have been innovated for the management of such type of unwanted growths which have their own disadvantages & limitations. These unwanted growths have peculiar tendency of recurrence despite of their surgical removal. So, to avoid the surgical removal of unwanted growths and recurrence, the present work has been undertaken.

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory condition of skin in youth. In Ayurveda, acne has been elaborated as one of the KshudraRogas (minor ailments). It is manifested in adolescence thus called as Yuvanpidika or Tarunyapitika. Symptoms of Mukhadushika show close resemblance with bacterial infection and inflam-matory factors of acne. According to Ayurveda, vitiation of Kaphadosha, VataDosha and RaktaDhatu lead to acne development. Kapha vitiation may resemble with excess sebum production, Vata vitiation may re-semble with hyperkeratinization and Rakta vitiation may resemble with inflammatory mediators in blood, play an important role in pathogenesis of acne. Both modern and Ayurvedic sciences have considered the use of topical as well as oral medications and their combinations for the treatment of acne. Modern medi-cations provide relief from acne vulgaris but cause noticeable side effects. In this study, 50 patients with symptoms of Yauvanapidika were treated in two groups. In Group A, patients were given local application of Shalmalyadilepa twice a day with milk, while in Group B patients were given 2 gm of Guduchyadivati thrice along with local application of Shalmalyadilepa. At the end of treatment, Group B showed better im-provement in comparison to Group A.

Ksheera Dhooma is an effective and popular Ayurvedic procedure in which decoction of herbal medicines and cow’s milk are mixed, heated and the emitted vapours are directed through a rubber tube. The steam coming out of the tube is applied to the whole body or the affected part of the patient’s body. It is used in the treatment of facial paralysis, lock jaw and disorders of head and neck, with Vata Dosha imbalance. Though Ksheera Dhooma is considered as a type of Sweda, it is termed as Dhooma because steam is inhaled with gaping mouth. Ksheera Dhooma has multi-fold benefits like facilitating proper blood circulation of the body and relaxation of the mind, lubrication of the joints, relief from pain, spasms and stiffness of the muscles and joints. This study was performed with an aim to review the procedure of Ksheera Dhooma or Palpuka Swedam, understand the standard operating procedure and its efficacy.

As per theory of eugenics, human race will be benefitted by producing fit and well born children. There are many ways to attain this but can prove dreadful too. Ayurveda, especially Charaka Samhita, provides a crisp and clear ideology about how each and every human can beget a superior progeny i.e. Supraja. The wisdom is found strewn across Charak Samhita. The present review is an attempt to piece together relevant references and provide a roadmap towards principles of Supraja or eugenics from Charaka Samhita. As healthy mind resides in a healthy body, such mentally and physically fit children will be a boon to the future generations to come, as our survival depends on them.

As healthy mind resides in a healthy body, such mentally and physically fit children will be a boon to the future generations to come, as our survival depends on them.","PeriodicalId":20643,"journal":{"name":"Proposed for presentation at the 2020 Virtual MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit held November 27 - December 4, 2020.","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87338992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Sense organs of human body can be undertaken as essential aspects of human life. Our world is alive with stimuli, all the objects and events that surround us. Sensation and perception are the processes that allow us to detect and understand various stimuli. We do not actually experience these stimuli directly, rather, our senses allow us to get information about aspects of our environment, and we then take that information and form a perception of world. Sensation is the processes of receiving stimulus energies from external envi-ronment and transforming those energies into neural energy. Physical energy such as light, sound, heat is detected by physical receptors cells in the sense organs-eyes, ears, skin, nose and tongue. When the recep-tor cells register a stimulus, the energy is converted to an electrochemical impulse or action potential that relays information about stimulus through the nervous system to brain. An action potential is brief wave of electric charge that sweeps down the axon of a neuron for possible transmission to another neuron. When it reaches the brain, the information travels to the appropriate area of cerebral cortex. The brain gives mean-ing to sensation through perception. Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory infor-mation so that it makes sense. Every species is adapted to sense and perceive stimuli that matter to that spe-cies ability to survive in its environment. Ayurved says that Indriyas able to pertain knowledge of Vishayas - Sabda, Sparsa, Rupa, Rasa and Gandha. The production of speech is pertained by the help of Vagendri-ya. Acharya Charak said that knowledge is obtained by conjoint action of Aatma, Indriya, Mana and Vishayas.
