Internal derangements of the temporomandibular joint are conditions in which the articular disc has become displaced from its original position over the condylar head. Pain, stress, functional and social handicap are the common reasons for which the patients seek treatment. Various modalities for management include medication, physiotherapy, occlusal splints, self-management strategies, and interventions based on cognitive behavioral approaches. At present, conservative means are preferred to surgical modalities as they are less-aggressive, economical and have comparable successful outcomes. Progressive Muscle Relaxation adapted from Edmund Jacobson (1938) is easy to learn and has been advocated to manage dental anxiety in the past. This article presents a unique case report where this novel technique has been used to manage a young patient with articular disc derangement with a 6-month follow-up showing successful functional and psycho-social rehabilitation of the young patient. self-limiting nature of TMDs

The severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) breakout has caused millions of infections with thousands of deaths worldwide. Still, the number of infected cases with deaths is increasing day by day. Unfortunately, to date, we do not have a single specific remedy for it. Along with the protective measures, respiratory and/ or circulatory supports and some non-specific anti-viral drug therapies have been reported to fight against this pandemic. So far, 165 vaccine candidates have been in various stages of clinical trials, of which 26 are in human trials. Besides Oxford University’s vaccine many others have already been able to garner worldwide response, it is still a long way to go. On the other hand, the discovery of vaccines is also delaying drug therapy approaches. In this case, we can focus on dietary supplements, especially vitamin-rich foods, as an alternative treatment. This writing focuses on the effects of dietary contents, especially the diets containing vitamins on the management of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

The objective of this article is to report on the methodology of teaching surface anatomy from the Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (ICHP) created in the Extension Project “Contact”. As a methodology for teaching surface anatomy, especially the dorsal anatomy, the project uses ICPH in medical training. The ICHP were: auriculotherapy, cupping therapy, chiropractic and massage. The project involved 5 professors from different fields of knowledge and 7 medical students from the medical course of the Multicampi School of Medical Sciences of Grande do Norte (MSMS). In this report, we highlight the importance of knowledge of anatomy in medical performance and the use of surface anatomy associated with ICPH as a technique for teaching and learning and developing skills in the evaluation and diagnosis of impairment in the quality of life of people who are related to pain and muscle tension.

The need for integration of modern science in the study of medicinal plants is very crucial. Without the application of science, herbal medicine would just remain traditional. The broad objective of the study was to identify the phytochemical properties of these three medicinal plants in order to encourage utilization, conservation and management of these plant species. This research sought to contribute to existing knowledge about the phytochemical constituents and medicinal uses of these plants. The highest concentrations of tannin (11.6%) and flavonoid (10.1%) were found in the leaves of Ceiba petandra . Anthraquinone was not found in any of the plant species investigated. Alkaloid was found only in the leaves of Moringa oleifera with a concentration of 5.4%. Terpenoids were found only in the leaves of Ceiba petandra (4.2%) and in the leaves of Moringa oleifera (3.5%). The least concentration of cyanoglycosides (0.1%) was found in the leaves of Ceiba petandra . It was concluded that leaves of Ceiba petandra , Moringa oleifera and Cymbopogon citratus were the major sources of phytochemicals. The study also revealed that higher quantities of phytochemicals were found in Ceiba petandra leaves when compared with other plant species. This showed that the leaves of Ceiba petandra are highly medicinal. It is recommended that Clinical trials should be conducted on these medicinal plant species to determine their efficacy in the treatment of diseases.

This research was done to explore the role of fresh garlic homogenate (GH) on attenuation of myocardial damage when administered concurrently with atenolol (ATN) in experimental animals. At the end of treatment of male albino rats, hearts were excised from anesthetized animals and mounted on modified Langendorff setup. After initial perfusion with physiological solution, hearts were subjected to 15 min global no flow ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and perfused again. Significant recovery in developed tension and heart rate was exhibited by hearts of animals pretreated with ATN, GH-125 and GH-250. There was significant elevation of LDH and CK-MB in heart tissue homogenate and fall in perfusate of treated groups (ATN, GH-125 and GH-250). Additionally, simultaneous administration of GH-250 with ATN resulted in significant increase in endogenous antioxidant enzymes (SOD and catalase) activities. The augmented antioxidant activities could be due to the possible synergistic potential of ATN in GH mediated scavenging of oxidative free radicals produced during IRI. On the contrary, high dose of GH (500 mg/kg) failed to demonstrate similar potential even in presence of ATN. Hence, only moderate intake of garlic is good for cardioprotection when administered prophylactically and addition of ATN produces synergistic effect.

Objectives: The effect of phyto-acupressure (PAP) on chronic tension-type headache was investigated in this prospective pragmatic study. PAP is traditionally used in Asian medicine. Methods: This open intra-individual study was conducted during three periods of four weeks each: first as baseline with usual treatment, second PAP treatment on top usual treatment and third free choice of the patient. 31 voluntary patients (20 women and 11 men) with frequent episodic and chronic tension-type headache (6 to 15 per month) self-administered massage therapy on acupuncture points with the local application of a concentrated plant formula. Headache frequency, intensity, duration, and analgesic use were recorded and compared with baseline values. Results: Compared with baseline values, the average number of headache episodes was significantly reduced during the PAP period from 13.06+-6.7 to 10.9+-5.5. The reduction of headache episodes continued for the remainder of the study (p= 0.01). At the end of the trial, when patients had a free choice of treatment, average headache number was 7.17+-4.86 and for 87% of headaches the patients opt for PAP alone. Concerning intensity and duration, the effect of PAP was on the same magnitude as paracetamol on-demand. The intake of paracetamol was sharply reduced by phyto-acupressure. Conclusions: The phyto-acupressure therapy used in this study seems to go beyond the treatment of pain. In addition to have an analgesic effect measured by reduction in analgesic use, PAP also has a prophylactic action in reducing headache frequency. A randomized controlled trial is needed as a next step.

Modern generation vaccines have poor immunogenicity and rely on adjuvants to potentiate their immunogenicity to generate a desired immune response. Adjuvants are macro-molecular complexes that enhance immunogenicity of antigens in vaccines, thereby playing an important role in vaccine formulation. The present study aims to develop a de-novo herbal adjuvant derived from a medicinal plant growing in adverse climatic conditions at high altitude. The adjuvant was compared with CFA and Alum. Animals were immunized with native, recombinant and conjugated proteins. The humoral immune response was measured in terms of antibody titers. A relative contribution of Th1/Th2 type was evaluated in terms of IgG1 & IgG2a isotyping and IFN-γ & IL4 levels. Splenocytes from mice immunized showed moderate T- cell recruitment in terms of cell proliferation. Antigen specific immunoglobulin levels were significantly enhanced by adjuvant at par with CFA & Alum. Therefore, this adjuvant could be substitute for oil and alum adjuvants.

holis-Abstract The work presented in this paper aims to study modern holistic medicine from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine and to elucidate the concept of holism in traditional Chinese medicine. Based on a secondary analysis of available literatures, the study findings have led the author to the conclusions that: a. in spite of the superficial similarities, modern holistic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are different in essence b. the future architecture of modern holistic medicine should incorporate the thinking modes, clinical experience, treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine, and these two medical systems can complement each other in the 21st century. In addition, this paper also puts forward the suggestion of making full use of the current prosperity of wellness tourism in Thailand to promote Thai traditional medicine.

The ancients believed that energy Chi circulates and activates the organs in a specific order reflected in the “law of five elements” (see the author’s book Maria Kuman, Modern Aspects of Ancient Acupuncture).1 Y Manaka, et al.2 in their book Chasing the Dragon’s Tail2 explained that the law means that at different times of the day or night the organs are in different phases of their cycles of activity and they consider the “Law of Five Elements” as a “Law of Five Phases”. The ancient book3 offers the following information for the cycles of organs’ activity, which is systematized in the table below.
古人认为，能量气以特定的顺序循环和激活器官，这反映在“五行定律”中（见作者Maria Kuman的书《古代针灸的现代方面》）。1 Y Manaka，等人2在《追龙尾》一书中解释说，该定律意味着在白天或晚上的不同时间，器官处于其活动周期的不同阶段，他们认为“五行定律”是“五相定律”。古书3提供了以下器官活动周期的信息，这些信息在下表中进行了系统化。
