Hemiplegia is a condition with gradual weakness or loss of functions on either half of the body. The injury to the motor centers of the brain either due to ischemia or hemorrhage, can cause poor balance, speech deficits and loss of function. The prevalence rate of hemiplegia is 9 cases per 1000 in global population.[1] In Ayurveda, this condition can be compared to Pakshaghata due to similarity in clinical signs and symptoms being. According to Acharya Charaka Pakshaghata is a Vatavyadhi, where vitiated Vata Dosha is involved in its pathogenesis. Since Pakshaghata is Nanatatmaja Vaat Vyadhi hence use of oral ayurvedic drugs along with Panchakarma therapeutics is recommended.

Primary Infertility associated with recurrent pregnancy loss because of Viral infections like TORCH and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a worrisome issue nowadays. In modern medicine, antiviral drugs are the main treatment for TORCH, causing various side effects. Ayurveda being preventive and curative medicinal branch, has good positive outcome in the treatment of TORCH induced BOH and infertility. The Garbhini Paricharya refers to the care given to pregnant lady. It has to be started as soon as the signs and symptoms of pregnancy are seen. The rate of abortions can be prevented by following proper antenatal care detailed in Ayurveda. Presenting a case report of 32-year-old female came to Govt. Ayurvedic college and hospital, Varanasi with 11 years of married life and history of two consecutive spontaneous abortions and wasn’t able to conceive since then. She was detected with PCOS and Positive TORCH infection. Her last USG findings dated 17/01/2023 was right ovarian- PCOS morphology & left ovarian- hemorrhagic cyst 54x60mm + subserosal uterine fibroid 20x27mm in fundal region with complaints of inability to conceive with complaints of delayed menses at interval of 2-6 months with prolonged bleeding with clots for 10-15 days for 7 years (after last abortion). Treatment protocol was based upon Samprapti Vighatan & focused on Prakriti of patient, Dosha Pradhanya Lakshana & Dosha Dushya Sammurchana. She was treated with Jalkumbhi Kshar with Varunadi Kwath for her fibroid and Pushpadhanva Rasa, Kanchanar Guggulu, Ashokarishta etc along with Nasya, Matra Basti and Uttar Basti. After 4 months of treatment, patient was treated successfully with Ayurvedic intervention and Garbhini paricharya with conception and delivery of a full-term healthy baby boy.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in persons with diabetes has a significant and growing impact on public health. Patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type I or type II are highly susceptible to many heart conditions, including congestive heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, cardiomyopathy, and coronary heart disease. Diabetes demands rigorous control of all cardiovascular risk factors due to its significant risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. According to estimates, the global population with diabetes will increase from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million by 2030, and the global population with hypertension will rise by 60% to reach 1.56 billion by 2025. 65–75% of deaths among diabetics are attributable to cardiovascular disease. The rationale is that cardiovascular illnesses and diabetes mellitus share a number of risk factors. The current medical system is effective in preventing infectious diseases, but it has not been effective in preventing diseases linked to a lifestyle by itself. Ayurvedic medicine is the best at managing and preventing lifestyle problems since it emphasizes a complete lifestyle adjustment for the patient. For those with diabetes and CVD, a special regimen of food (Aahar), exercise (Vihar), and herbs (Aushadhi) can help reduce symptoms and promote overall health. Reviewing the co-morbidity between diabetes mellitus (Madhumeha) and its related cardiovascular risks is the goal of this research work.
糖尿病患者的心血管疾病（CVD）对公众健康的影响越来越大。被诊断为 I 型或 II 型糖尿病的患者极易患多种心脏疾病，包括充血性心力衰竭、外周动脉疾病、心肌病和冠心病。由于糖尿病有导致心血管疾病发病和死亡的重大风险，因此需要严格控制所有心血管风险因素。据估计，全球糖尿病人口将从 2000 年的 1.71 亿增加到 2030 年的 3.66 亿，全球高血压人口将增加 60%，到 2025 年达到 15.6 亿。糖尿病患者中 65-75% 的死亡归因于心血管疾病。其原因在于心血管疾病和糖尿病有许多共同的危险因素。目前的医疗体系在预防传染病方面很有效，但在预防与生活方式本身有关的疾病方面却不尽人意。阿育吠陀医学最擅长管理和预防生活方式问题，因为它强调对患者进行全面的生活方式调整。对于糖尿病和心血管疾病患者来说，食物（Aahar）、运动（Vihar）和草药（Aushadhi）的特殊疗法有助于减轻症状，促进整体健康。回顾糖尿病（Madhumeha）及其相关心血管风险之间的共病关系是本研究工作的目标。

Avabahuka (frozen shoulder) is a type of Vata Vyadhi caused by vitiated Vata Dosha with Anubhandha of Kapha Dosha. The symptoms of Avabahuka can be correlated with the symptoms of adhesive capsulitis, which is commonly known as frozen shoulder. Being a disease of shoulder joint, which has the greatest range of motion, it seriously affects routine day-to-day activities. A 56-year-old female came to the OPD of Pt. Khushilal Sharma Government Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Bhopal (MP) with pain and restricted movement in the right shoulder since 6 months, having undergone conventional treatment without any significant improvement. In this case study effect of Marma Chikitsa in the management of Avabahuka (frozen shoulder) is evaluated. The patient was treated with Marma Chikitsa for 10 days. The range of movements improved gradually from 45 to 123° for abduction, 102° to 165° for flexion, 53 to 65 for external rotation, and 30° to 45° for extension. VAS score for pain in the right shoulder was 7 before treatment, which came down to 4 after first course of the treatment regimen and gradually to 3 after completion of the treatment. The study suggested that Marma Chikitsa may be used for relieving symptoms of Avabahuka; however, study on large population was suggested.

Ayurveda, an ancient medical science, emphasizes the balance of Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), proper functioning of Dhatus (tissues), and enhancement of Agni (digestive fire) for maintaining health. Mandagni, or diminished Agni, is a common ailment in Ayurveda associated with various gastrointestinal symptoms. This case study aims to evaluate the efficacy of traditional Ayurvedic interventions, specifically Chitrakadi Vati and Ekakala Bhojana (one-time meal in a day), in alleviating Mandagni and its related gastrointestinal manifestations. The study documents the case of a 38-year-old female patient exhibiting symptoms of Mandagni, including abdominal and head heaviness, cough, weakness, and tastelessness. Treatment involved Chitrakadi Vati and Ekakala Bhojana, aimed at enhancing Jatharagni and alleviating symptoms. Assessment criteria encompassed subjective and objective measures, showing improvements in symptoms and laboratory parameters post-treatment. Discussion highlights the pharmacological actions of Chitrakadi Vati and dietary modifications of Ekakala Bhojana in promoting digestion and alleviating symptoms. The study concludes positively, suggesting the efficacy of these Ayurvedic interventions in managing Mandagni and enhancing overall well-being.

Vrana is an interruption of tissue caused by physical, microbial, chemical or immunological or typically associated with loss of function. The rupture of the continuity of body tissue or part of body Skin is also called as a Vrana. Normally wound factors delay wound healing. The presence of infection is one of the important factors which delay the wound healing process. Vrana is a common problem observed in surgical practice nowadays. It is one of the fundamental aspects of Shalyatantra, as a trauma and after surgical procedures (Abhighataj Vrana and Postoperative Vrana) surgeon thinks about healing of wound, so it is important to know about wound and wound healing. Acharya describes Vrana as its different aspects; cause symptoms etc. Vranitagara, method of Vranaraksha Vidhi, various type of Vrana Srava, Dustavrana and Sudhdha Vrana in detail. Sushruta also mentioned Aragwadhadi Gana to treat many types of Dustavrana. Panchendriya Pariksha and Vranasrav with Doshik involvement should be applied to diagnostic purposes. The 6 stages of Vrana as Shat Kriya Kala are helpful for diagnostic assessment. Samprapti is the reason for Roga Gyan and Chikitsa Gyan. That’s the only reason to know detail about Samprapti in Ayurveda. Dustavrana are of 20 types. Also, presence of Dushtavrana can damage the condition of the patient with different complications and may become fatal for him/her.

Bindu M Bhandari, Krishnamurthy N, Kochuthresia Jose
Ayurveda is a way of life governed by the principle that whatever there is in the universe is there in the body also. The concept of Tridosha is one such theory which decides the well-being and the diseased condition of a human being. That is, when in equilibrium leads to health and when vitiated, leads to disease. Vaata being one of the Tridosha leads the other two Dosha, Mala, Dhatus as the wind carries the clouds in the sky. There are five types of Vaata, i.e., Prana, Udana, Samana, Vyana and Apana. Samaana, is situated near Jatharagni and moves all over the Koshta. The function of Samaana Vaata can be corelated with functions such as Grahana, Pachana, Vivechana, Munchana. The myenteric plexus, or plexus of Auerbach, is located between the longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers of the muscularis in gastrointestinal tract. The motor neurons of these plexus mostly control GI tract motility (movement), particularly the frequency and strength of contraction of the muscularis. This can be co-related to Karma of Samana Vata like Grahana, Munchana. The submucosal plexus, also known as Meissner’s plexus, is a network of autonomic motor nerve fibres located in the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. The motor neurons of the submucosal plexus supply the secretory cells of the mucosal epithelium, controlling the secretions and absorption of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. This can be co-related to Karma of Samana Vaata like Pachana, Vivechana. Hence this article is aimed at further exploration of these anatomical and physiological aspects.

Background: Autoimmune disorders occur when the body’s immune system is working hard to defend against potentially precarious substances our bodies such as allergens, toxins, infection or food but does not identify the difference between the invaders and own body cells. SLE is an autoimmune disease in which organs, tissues and cells undergo damage, mediated by tissues binding auto antibodies and immune complexes. SLE affects heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidney and nervous system. Due to Piita Pradhantwa in SLE it can be correlated with Pitta Anubandhi Amavata as both are systemic autoimmune disease having involvement of mainly Pitta Dosha. Materials and Methods: A male patient with complaints of pain in multiple joints with swelling, recurrent mouth ulcers, weakness all over the body and erythematous rashes on both hands with some discharge came to OPD of PTKLS Hospital and diagnosed as Amavata and admitted in IPD of the Hospital and treated according to Ayurveda Protocol including oral medications and Panchakarma therapy. Result: Patient got symptomatic relief. Details of this will be discussed in full paper. Discussion: In Ayurveda, symptoms of Vata Kapha Anubandhi Amavata can be correlated with RA and symptoms of Pitta Anubandhi Amavata can be correlated with SLE as there is involvement of Pitta Dosha and Rakta Dhatu in SLE.
