In Ayurveda, the concept of Srotas has been propagated very specifically. They are integral part of the body. Body is composed of numerous Srotas which have a significant role in maintenance of equilibrium of body elements. They are responsible for maintenance of health as well as disease condition. Srotas is a channel through which different elements undergo transformation, circulation and transportation. Pathological changes occurs in the body due to Srotodushti, Srotosanga etc.

In Ayurveda, the concept of Srotas has been propagated very specifically. Srotas have a significant role in maintenance of equilibrium of body elements. Among types of Srotas, Aartavavaha Srotas is given prime importance which is only present in females. Aartavavaha Srotas are the channels which carry Aartava. Aartava can be considered as Bijarupia Aartava and Drusta Aartava i.e. ovum and menstrual blood respectively. The root of Artavavaha Srotas are Garbhashaya (Uterus) and Artavavaha Dhamani (vessels carrying Artava). Garbhashaya can be compare with uterus, that help for development of fetus. Dhamani can be compared with arteries i.e. ovarian arteries responsible for formation of Aartava (ovum) and Uterine arteries responsible for flow of Aartava (menstrual blood). Pathological changes occurs in the body due to Sroto Dushti, Sroto Sanga etc. so if any Viddha (injury) occurs to Aartava Vaha Srotas that leads to Viddha Lakshana i.e. Vandhyatwa, Maithunaasahishnutaa, Aartava Naasha.

In federal criminal cases, federal law requires that judges consider the sentences other courts have imposed in factually similar matters. Courts and parties, however, face significant challenges in finding applicable sentencing precedents because judges do not typically issue written sentencing opinions, and transcripts of sentencings are not readily available in advanced searchable databases. At the same time, particularly since the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in United States v. Booker, sentencing precedent has come to play a significant role in federal sentencing proceedings. By way of example, this article discusses recent cases involving defendants with gambling addictions, and recent cases involving college admissions or testing fraud. The article explores the ways the parties in those cases have used sentencing precedent in their advocacy, as well as the ways the courts involved have used sentencing precedent to justify their decisions. Given the important role of sentencing precedent in federal criminal cases, the article finally looks at ways in which the body of sentencing law could be made more readily available to parties and courts alike.

Study Design: Clinical PerspectiveObjective: To provide back care education for patients with low back pain. Background:  Understanding the internal and external forces the body issubjected to, as well as the spine’s response to these forces, can better equipphysiotherapists in educating patients with low back pain. Methods and Measures: The focus of the clinical perspective is to providephysiotherapists with clinically sound reasoning when educating patients. Results: Providing a patient handout, educating them in how to incorporate back care knowledge into their dailyactivities.Conclusion: Physiotherapists can play a significant role in empowering patients through education to take responsi-bility for their disability.


Basement membranes are distributed widely in the body forming an extracellular matrix for epithelial and endothelial cells. The collagenous and glycoprotein constituents of basement membranes are synthesized by these two cell types. Disturbance of the interactions between basement membranes and their associated epithelial and endothelial cells can lead to the pathological changes seen in diseases involving basement membranes. These changes are illustrated here by reference to glomerulonephritis induced by the deposition of immune complexes in the glomerulus of the kidney, and chronic inflammatory changes occurring in the lung after inhalation of asbestos. In these diseases basement membrane changes can occur in several ways. Hydrolytic enzymes released from inflammatory cells degrade basement membranes while other factors released from these cells may stimulate synthesis of basement membrane constituents by epithelial and endothelial cells. Alternatively the physical separation of epithelial and endothelial cells from their basement membranes by space-occupying substances such as immune complexes can interfere with feedback mechanisms leading to synthesis of basement membrane constituents and cell proliferation. Studies of these pathological changes at a cellular level should shed new light on the ways in which cells interact with their pericellular environment.

AbstractThe aim of the paper is to investigate the role of dictionary form (paper versus electronic) in language reception, production and retention. The body of existing research does not give a clear answer as to which dictionary medium benefits users more. Divergent findings from many studies into the topic might stem from differences in research methodology (including the various tasks, participants and dictionaries used by different authors). Even a series of studies conducted by one researcher (Dziemianko, 2010, 2011, 2012b) leads to contradictory conclusions, possibly because of the use of paper and electronic versions of existing dictionaries, and the resulting problem with isolating dictionary form as a factor. To be able to argue with confidence that the results obtained follow from different dictionary formats, rather than presentation issues, research methodology should be improved. To successfully generalize about the significance of the medium for decoding, encoding and learning, the current study replicates previous research, but the presentation of lexicographic data on paper and on screen is now balanced, and the paper/electronic opposition is operationalized more appropriately. A real online dictionary and its paper-based counterpart composed of printouts of screen displays were used in the experiment in which the meaning of English nouns and phrases was explained, and collocations were completed with missing prepositions. A delayed post-test checked the retention of the meanings and collocations. The results indicate that dictionary medium does not play a statistically significant role in reception and production, but it considerably affects retention.

Slot-radiography is an x-ray examination in which a two-dimensional radiography with a straight beam and further computer stitching of the images obtained on the workstation during a single-pass of x-ray tube over a patient. The application of innovative techniques for image acquisition and processing in combination with a large-area flat panel detector (FPD) makes it possible to produce long-view images from one to several anatomical regions. During the investigation, the x-ray tube and the FPD move simultaneously at a constant speed in parallel relative to one another with the longitudinal axis of the body. Thus, it makes possible to obtain images with little distortion and processed images without visual defects. And this allows conducting more accurate diagnosis of pathological changes. Slot-radiography can be performed both in the patient’s standing position and lying down depending on the region of interest and tasks. It is possible to obtain images in both a frontal and a lateral projection without loss of quality. Slot-radiography is effectively used to diagnose pathological changes in joints and spine, including scoliosis, limb shortening, segmental spinal instability, pathology of lower limb veins, and also as a method for assessing the quality of the treatment. This technique is characterized by safety and convenience for the patient: minimal time costs and low radiation exposure. The application of this technique significantly increases the informative value of the x-ray examination, brings it to a qualitatively new level, providing a physician with a wide range of diagnostic possibilities.

Blood being one among the seven tissues has its significant role in regulating the function of all vital organs and giving life to individuals. Without proper quantity and quality of blood, the body cannot remain healthy. The fourth chapter of Charaka samhita ie related to fifty various groups. In each group, 10 herbs are included having common action. Shonita sthapaka mahakashaya is pronounced for action related to restoring the normalcy of blood. Shonita sthapaka mahakashaya is very specific and only mahakashaya in which only 5 medicines of herbal origin, one metallic compound, one jantav dravya and two byproducts and Mrutkapala. Shonitasthapakaa gana included actions like Raktashodhana [haemostatic], Raktastambhana [ blood coagulation], Raktavilayaka [blood thinning], Raktavardhanaa [ haemopoitic]. Rakta and pitta dosha are the same in nature, so Rakta is mainly vitiated by pitta dosha. Thus, dravyas included in Shonitasthapaka gana have pittashamak properties. So, according to different conditions of Raktavikara [disorders related to blood], we can categorize Shonitasthapaka dravyas in treatment.

On the experimental model of liver ischemia-reperfusion, quantitative changes in protein composition in the blood of white outbred rats were investigated. It was found that against the background of a 10-minute ischemia, the total protein content decreased by 0,9%, albumins by 1,5% (p0,05). The content of globulins practically did not change, and the content of fibrinogen increased by 33,3% (p0,05). In the corresponding periods of reperfusion compared with intact values, the content of total protein and albumins decreased, and globulins and fibrinogen increased. The intensity of changes in the quantitative and qualitative content of proteins in the blood of animals depended on both the duration of the ischemia period and the duration of reperfusion. At the same time, the increase in the level of globulins in the blood occurred more intensively during reperfusion after 20 minutes of ischemia. Thus, against the background of ischemia, there are changes in the quantitative composition of plasma proteins (total protein, albumins, globulins, fibrinogen). As the duration of ischemia increases, pathological changes increase. With reperfusion, the process continues unidirectionally, but against the background of a deeper ischemia lasting 20 minutes, some parameters of the pathological changes in the blood composition are less pronounced than against a background of reperfusion after a 10-minute ischemia. This phenomenon is explained by the activation of the protective and adaptive functions of the body.
