Ashmari is one among the eight most difficult to cure diseases (Ashtamahagada) described in Ayurveda classical texts. The symptomatology of Ashmari resembles the clinical features of Urolithiasis mentioned in the contemporary medical science. Urolithiasis is third most common disease of the urinary tract. Conventional management of Urolithiasis does not have any effect on the pathogenesis of this disease and therefore, recurrence of disease occurs very commonly. Ayurveda has more radical approach and wide range of options in the management of urolithiasis. A 23-year old Indian male student presented with the complaints of pain in right side of abdomen, burning and difficulty in micturition since last 15 days. Per abdomen examination elicited tenderness on right lumbar region of abdomen and around right renal angle. No other abnormality detected during general and systemic examination. Ultrasonography (whole abdomen) revealed multiple right renal calculi (largest being 6.9 mm). On Ayurvedic parlance, the present case was diagnosed as Ashmari based on the signs and symptoms. Patient was prescribed the Ayurvedic medicines, Gokshuradi Gugguluand Varunadi Kashaya on OPD basis. Patient was advised to follow-up initially after 07 days and later after every fortnight. Improvement in clinical features was there within 07 days. Patient showed complete relief in his complaints on third follow-up visit. Repeat Ultrasonography scan did not revealed any renal calculus. Clinically also, Gokshuradi guggulu and Varunadi Kashaya has provided complete relief in pain, burning micturition and dysuria. It can be concluded that Gokshuradi guggulu and Varunadi Kashayamay lead to disintegration and expulsion of calculi and thus provide relief in signs and symptoms of Ashmari. This case illustrates the effective conservative management of Ashmari with Ayurvedic medicines with no adverse events and no episode of recurrence even after one year.

The unique position of man as a master mechanic of the animal kingdom is because of skilled movements of his hands and when this shoulder joints get obstructed, we call it as Apabahuka (Frozen shoulder), we do not find satisfactory management in modern medical science. Various effective treatment modalities have been mentioned which reverse the pathogenesis, Shodhana is advised initially followed by Shamana therapies. In the present study 30 patients were selected incidentally and placed randomly into two groups A and B, with 15 subjects in each group. Group A received Amapachana with Panchakola Churna, Jambeera Pinda Sweda and Nasya Karma. Group B received Amapachana with Panchakola Churna, Jambeera pinda Sweda and Nasaapana. In both the groups two months follow up was done. Both groups showed significant improvement in the signs and symptoms of Apabahuka as well as the activities of daily livings, thereby improving the quality of life of the patients. Nasya Karma and Nasaapana provided highly significant results in all the symptoms of Apabahuka. In the present study as per the clinical data, Nasaapana is found to be more effective than Nasya Karma.

In Ayurveda, Gridhrasi is considered as one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi having vitiation of Vata and sometimes Vata Kapha Dosha. The cardinal signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi are Ruk (pain), Toda (pricking sensation), Stambha (stiffness) and Muhurspandan in the Sphika, Kati, Uruh, Janu, Jangha and Pada in order and Sakthiuthkshepanigraha (hinderence in lifting of the legs). In Kaphanubandha -Tandra, Gaurav, Arochaka are present. The signs and symptoms of ‘Gridhrasi’ can be correlated with that of ‘Sciatica’ in modern terminology. Sciatica is a very painful condition in which pain begins in lumbar region and radiates along the posterior lateral aspects of thigh and leg along with difficulty in walking. SLR test, sitting test, Lasegues sign are helpful not only to diagnose the sciatica but also to assess the progress of the therapy. With reference to the management of Sciatica, in modern medicine, various modalities are available. These modern therapies have their own limitations and these management tools are not affordable for the poor, especially in the developing countries. Therefore, the choice of treatment commonly opens to reveal some effective, simple, safe and economic modalities. Total 30 patients were registered in this study. 15 patients were assigned to group A (Ajmodadi Churna) and 15 to group B (Ajmodadi Churna and Sahacharadi Taila Kati Basti). Each patient was examined thoroughly before treatment and observed keenly during the procedure and follow up.

Background: Geographically Kashmir valley is isolated from the rest of the country. It has a different climate with people having different social and dietary habits. Gastric cancer, esophageal, and skin (Kangri) cancer have a higher prevalence but there is little data available on the cancers of brain.Objectives & Methodology: Aim was to study brain tumors prospectively and retrospectively, to analyse brain tumors geographically and to analyse the age and sex ratio of brain tumors in Kashmir valley. In this Retrospective and Prospective study, retrospectively (initial seven years) all patients were analyzed for their clinical symptoms, age, sex, residence, histopathologic characteristics of tumors. Prospectively (later three years) after get-ting the radiological diagnosis pathological diagnosis was arrived by procedures like open, stereotactic, and endoscopic procedures. All patients were then analysed for age, sex, residence, signs and symptoms and histopathological characteristics. Follow up was done for gliomas. Mortality and morbidity was analysed for gliomas in these 3 years. Patients who lost the follow up were considered dead. Out of 1730 patients included in our study, there were 1031 males and 699 females. The most common age group was between 41-50 years. Results: The most common tumor was gliomas followed by meningiomas. Gliomas were most common in men and meningiomas in females.  Out of all the histological grades in gliomas, the glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) was the most common, and frontal lobe was the commonest anatomical site involved. The most common symptom in our study was headache followed by vomiting.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjms.v13i3.19148Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.13(3) 2014 p.268-277

Recurrent urachal adenocarcinomas are rare. It is commonly associated with poor prognosis. A 51-year-old woman underwent a partial cystectomy for urachal cancer in 2014. She was well throughout follow-up with annual cystoscopies. She presented with a 1-month history of rapidly progressive suprapubic mass and hematuria. A contrasted computed tomography scan of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis showed a large mixed solid cystic tumour at the right lumbar region, suprapubic area and also at the pouch of Douglas. She refused surgical extirpation and now on chemotherapy. Urachal adenocarcinoma is rare, and resection is commonly advocated; usually, no standard adjuvant therapy is advocated. Recurrent cancers represent a management dilemma, and no standard follow-up protocols exist. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(4) 2021 p.911-913

Background: Anal fissures are common, but most are short lived and heal spontaneously. Those which persist and require intervention cause considerable morbidity in an otherwise healthy young population. Glyceryl trinitrate is well in the conservative management of anal fissures. Material and Methods: The retrospective study was carried at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Science Srinagar, Kashmir, India from Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2005. Total of 111 patients were studied, to evaluate the result of glyceryl trinitrate treatment in the management of anal fissures. Results: 80% of the fissures healed with topical glyceryl trinitrate treatment over a period of 6-8 weeks, with no recurrence during a one year follow up. The remaining 20% patients had to be managed with manual dilatation (8 patients) and lateral internal sphincterotomy (14 patients). Conclusion: Our conclusion is that glyceryl trinitrate induces a chemical sphincterortomy and produces healing of fissure in majority of patients. J Med Sci 2009;12(1):11-13.
