Implications of Drug Levels in Body Fluids: Basic Concepts

In Ayurveda it is necessary to reveal basic concepts, without which one cannot achieve good practice because many treatment approaches are hidden in basic concepts. In this aspect, Rasa, Guna, Veerya, Vipaka, Prabhava and Karma constitute basic concepts of Dravyaguna. Stambhana and Grahi comes under heading of karma, both do the same function of checking the excess flow but applicable in different conditions, having different mechanism of action. Grahi karma is different from Stambhana karma in performing Deepana and Pachana. Stambhana karma is applicable in excess flow of all the Srotas and Grahi karma is restricted to Purishavaha, Udakavaha, Annavaha srotas. Many drugs and formulations are explained in classics which perform Stambhana and Grahi action by their Rasadi Panchaka and Panchabhautik composition. Most of the Stambhana and Grahi drugs contain tannins, which help in ceasing excess flow of body fluids. Present article reveals the Stambhana, Grahi and Sangrahi karma along with its clinical applicability.

The Past

During this century, interest in the particulate content of the organs and body fluids of those individuals affected by pneumoconiosis, cancer, or other diseases of unknown etiology developed and concern was further prompted with the increasing realization that various foreign particles were associated with or caused disease. Concurrently particularly in the past two decades, a number of methods were devised for isolating particulates from tissue. These methods were recently reviewed by Vallyathan et al. who concluded sodium hypochlorite digestion was both simple and superior to other digestion procedures.

Linguistic Intervention

Test-teach questioning is a strategy that can be used to help children develop basic concepts. It fosters the use of multisensory exploration and discovery in learning which leads to the development of cognitive-linguistic skills. This article outlines some of the theoretical bases for this approach and indicates possibilities for their applications in child-clinician transactions.

And Function

The search for best practices in hearing aid fittings and aural rehabilitation has generally used the audiogram and function stemming from peripheral sensitivity. In recent years, however, we have learned that individuals respond differently to various hearing aid and aural rehabilitation techniques based on cognitive abilities. In this paper, we review basic concepts of working memory and the literature driving our knowledge in newer concepts of hearing aid fitting and aural rehabilitation.
