Keloid can be defined as a benign dermal fibroproliferative disorder with no malignant potential. The keloids tend to occur following trivial physical trauma in genetically predisposed individuals. Jalauka (medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis) is famed to use in all skin disorders caused by vitiation of Rakta (~blood) and Pitta Dosha (a functional regulatory factor of the body). Many studies also have claimed that the saliva of medicinal leeches potentiates wound healing. It helps in healthy scar formation by inhibiting the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. Therefore, a hypothesis was made that medicinal leech application can be helpful in the healing of the wound without keloid formation in patients with keloid formation tendencies. In the present study, case of a 38-year-old male patient infected sebaceous cyst at the right upper back (scapular region) with a previous history of keloid formation after surgical scar was treated by weekly medicinal leech application five times after excision of the cyst under local anesthesia. Initiation wound healing was normal in the studied case until complete epithelization. After 2 months of complete healing, gradual hardening and shiny appearance with irregular margin became very prominent and seemed to convert in keloid, although other associated symptoms were absent. The findings of this case report indicate the limited effect of the medicinal leech application and the requirement of a multimodel therapeutic approach for healthy wound healing in keloid tendency patients.

Traditional knowledge systems, though considered invaluable, present a complex subject matter. In the context of contemporary modern advancements, the disparity in recognition of these deep-rooted traditions and cultural expressions is a matter of serious concern. While deliberations are being held at various global forums, there has yet to be a consensus on binding legal interventions recognizing and respecting traditional knowledge and associated people’s rights. Nations continue to make efforts to bring in the required knowledge parity and equity. The Government of India’s efforts in traditional medicines, especially Ayush, can be seen as a positive example for others. Hon’ble Prime Minister of India appreciating the various aspects of Ayush health and envisions Ayush as an effective tool for global welfare. This unwavering focus of the Government towards promoting Ayush for global welfare can be found in the different “Mann ki Baat” episodes, an interactive platform of the Government with the citizens of India. The remarkable efforts of Ministry of Ayush (MoA) towards forging cooperation with national and international agencies and other stakeholders are the key drivers for boosting awareness, training, education, research and market expansion. The present article provides a brief account of the efforts in the country on this front.
传统的知识系统,虽然被认为是无价的,但呈现了一个复杂的主题。在现代进步的背景下,人们对这些根深蒂固的传统和文化表现形式的认识存在差异,这是一个令人严重关切的问题。虽然各种全球论坛正在进行审议,但尚未就承认和尊重传统知识和相关人民权利的有约束力的法律干预达成共识。各国继续努力实现所需的知识平等和公平。印度政府在传统医药方面的努力,特别是阿尤什的努力,可被视为其他国家的积极榜样。印度总理阁下赞赏阿尤什保健的各个方面,并设想阿尤什是促进全球福利的有效工具。政府毫不动摇地将重点放在促进阿尤什的全球福利上,这可以在政府与印度公民的互动平台“Mann ki Baat”的不同剧集中找到。阿尤什部(MoA)在与国家和国际机构以及其他利益攸关方建立合作方面所做的卓越努力是提高认识、培训、教育、研究和市场拓展的关键驱动因素。本文简要介绍了该国在这方面所作的努力。

Information Technology drives this digital era (IT) enabled services. IT has evolved rapidly with the integrated use of electronic communication, computers, the internet of things (IoTs), and other allied devices in almost every domain. IT software and hardware tools are considered the backbone of research as they produce results from data samples quickly, efficiently, and reliably. Integrated calculations from multitier data samples require customized IT tools per the research requirements and the standard IT tools available in the market. Organizations hire IT services and human resources to design, develop and implement such tools. The Prakriti Assessment Scale developed by the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS), Ministry of Ayush, Government of India, is a scale to assess the Prakriti (somatic constitution) of an individual. Based on the requirement of Prakriti assessment at multiple locations simultaneously and compilation of results for analysis, an integrated web-based solution- Ayur Prakriti Web Portal has been developed by CCRAS, which is the digital conversion of the Prakriti Assessment Scale. Currently, the Ayur Prakriti portal is in the Beta testing phase. This article will provide a technical review of the features and parameters defined in the CCRAS - Ayur Prakriti web portal login page from an IT perspective. It will also provide a comparative analysis of business processes followed in the Prakriti Assessment software viz-a-viz standard business processes to be followed in application software as per the software design guidelines/standards. The objective of this article is to carry out a situational analysis focusing on design steps taken for developing the Ayur-Prakriti Web Portal.
信息技术推动了这个数字时代(IT)支持的服务。随着电子通信、计算机、物联网(iot)和其他相关设备在几乎每个领域的综合使用,IT迅速发展。IT软件和硬件工具被认为是研究的支柱,因为它们可以快速、有效和可靠地从数据样本中产生结果。多层数据样本的综合计算需要根据研究要求和市场上可用的标准IT工具定制IT工具。组织雇佣IT服务和人力资源来设计、开发和实现这些工具。Prakriti评估量表由印度政府阿尤什部阿育吠陀科学研究中央委员会(CCRAS)开发,是评估个人Prakriti(躯体体质)的量表。CCRAS根据同时在多个地点进行Prakriti评估的需求,并对结果进行汇总分析,开发了一个基于网络的综合解决方案——Ayur Prakriti Web Portal,这是Prakriti评估量表的数字化转换。目前,Ayur Prakriti门户处于Beta测试阶段。本文将从IT角度对CCRAS - Ayur Prakriti web门户登录页面中定义的特性和参数进行技术回顾。它还将对Prakriti评估软件所遵循的业务流程进行比较分析,即按照软件设计准则/标准在应用软件中遵循的标准业务流程。本文的目的是对开发Ayur-Prakriti Web Portal所采取的设计步骤进行情景分析。
