Due to present day lifestyle, a greater number of people are inclined to desk work and computer usage leading to many disorders. Manyasthamba is one among such disorders where the stiffness of neck with severe pain is the classical symptom which hampers our day to day life. While explaining treatment of Manyasthamba our Acharyas explained Rukshasweda and Nasya Karma as main line of treatment. Here a study was done by taking Gudashunti Yoga explained in Sharangadara Samhita indicated for Nasya and Kolakulattadi Churna indicated in Vatavyadhi explained in Ashtanga Sangraha for Ruksha Churna Sweda. A comparative clinical study of 40 patients suffering from Manyastambha were selected after thorough investigation. Patients were subjected to Nasya Karma in Group A and Ruksha Sweda and Nasya Karma in Group B for 7 days. Patients were assessed based on standard parameters before and after treatment and 7 days follow up. The statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant improvement in parameters like pain and stiffness. Hence proving the efficacy in the condition.

Nowadays, people are more vulnerable to metabolic disorders due to their faulty dietary and behavioural habits. One such disorder is Vatarakta which causes functional impairment due to involvement of Sandhi (joints). It is manifested by Ruk, Toda, Sparsha asahatva, Shopha, Raga, Daha and Stabdhata in Sandhi. Vatarakta can be correlated with Hyperuricaemia or Gout due to similarity in their clinical features. Hyperuricaemia is defined as abnormally high level of uric acid in blood (i.e. >6mg/dl in female and >7mg/dl in male). On the other hand, Gout is an inflammatory response to monosodium urate crystals formed secondary to hyperuricaemia. Aims and objectives: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of Trikarshika kwatha and lifestyle modification in the management of Vatarakta. 2. To compare the effects of Trikarshika kwatha with and without lifestyle modification in the management of Vatarakta. Materials and methods: Raw herbs of the research formulation were collected after proper identification and Kwatha was prepared for oral administration. For the clinical study, total 60 patients were selected on the basis of selection criteria. Selected patients were randomly divided into two groups. (i) Group A: 30 patients were treated with Trikarshika kwatha. (ii) Group B: 30 patients were treated with Trikarshika kwatha along with Lifestyle modification. Individual patient was treated for 45 days along with follow up at the interval of every 15 days. To assess the effectiveness of treatment, scoring pattern was followed for subjective and objective parameters. They were assessed before and after treatment. The collected data were analysed statistically by using Paired t-test. Results: On the basis of all statistical data, it can be said that patients of Group B showed better results in all parameters in comparison to patients of Group A. Conclusion: Both Trikarshika kwatha and Lifestyle modification are affective but Trikarshika kwatha with Lifestyle modification is more effective than Trikarshika kwatha without Lifestyle modification in the management of Vatarakta.

Kasa is one of the Pranavaha Srothodusti vikara which hinders normal life. Kaphaja Kasa is a type of Kasa with Vata and Kapha as predominant doshas and present with Prabhuta, Ghana and Bahala kapha. Kaphaja Kasa can be best compared with Chronic Bronchitis. If left untreated it leads to various conditions like Swasa, Kshaya, Chardi, Svarasaadha etc. This signifies the importance of its early management. The present study was conducted on 40 diagnosed subjects of Kaphaja Kasa who were randomly allocated into 2 groups with 20 patients each. La- vangadi gutika was taken in Group A and Pippalyadi gutika in Group B. Medicines was given for 30 days and the data was collected from the subject at baseline, 16th day, 31st day and on 46th day (follow up). The result of the study showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the assessment parameters in both the groups from baseline. However no statistically significant difference was observed between the effect of Lavangadi guti- ka and Pippalyadi gutika in the management of Kaphaja Kasa suggesting that both interventions were having a significant effect on the condition.

Abstract Forty-two nonhypertensive patients with a proven subarachnoid hemorrhage but normal cerebral panangiography were investigated. The follow-up period was 1 to 5 years, with a mean of 39.1 months. Treatment consisted of 2 weeks of bedrest and sedation, followed by progressive mobilization on the 3rd week. Thirteen patients (Group A) were treated with tranexamic acid, whereas 29 patients (Group B) received no antifibrinolytic therapy. Five patients of Group A died of ischemia caused by cerebral vasospasm. No patient of Group B died, and there was no early rebleeding in either group. Therefore, antifibrinolytic therapy is not indicated in these patients. Only 1 of 42 patients (2.4%) experienced late rebleeding, and he again had normal cerebral panangiography. Reangiography several weeks or months after the first hemorrhage seems not to be indicated. The overall prognosis of the surviving patients was good; almost all were able to return to their previous occupations within 6 months after the hemorrhage.

Being a disease of shoulder joint, which has greatest range of motion, is of vital importance to the activities of daily routine work. This disease is a hindrance in one’s productivity. Various effective treatment modalities have been mentioned in our classics regarding this disease. In order to reverse the pathogenesis, Shodhana is advised initially followed by Shamana therapies. In the present study 40 patients were selected incidentally and placed randomly into two groups- A and B, with 20 sub-jects in each group. Group- A received Nasya with Sheetala Jala and Group- B received Nasya with Ma-sha Taila followed by Rasnadi Guggulu as Shamanoushadhi for both groups A and B. In both the groups after 7th day of Nasya Karma follow up was done. Assessment was done on the bases of symptomatology. Nasya Karma provided highly significant results in all the symptoms of Avabahuka. In the present study as per the clinical data, ‘Nasya with Masha Taila is found to be more effective than Nasya with Sheetala Jala’.

Myopia is a refractive error which affects every age group person around the world. Specially in modern age when the use of mobile screen and computer is increased so much, this error has become horrible. The symptoms of myopia closely resembles with the disease Timir. It involves pratham and dwitiya patala of Netra. In the present study, 35 clinically diagnosed patients of Timira/Myopia were selected and randomly divided into two groups (Group-A-18 patients, Group-B-17patients) out of these, 30 patients completed the trial. Patients of group A were administrated Timirhar Lauha orally. While patients of group B were topically administrated Baladi Ghrita for Tarpana and Timirhar Lauha orally. The study shows that Timirhar Lauha (systemic drug) alone was effective in all symptoms of Timira /Simple Myopia but combination of the drug Timirhar Lauha (systemic drug) with Baladi Ghrita (Tarpana/topical application) had much greater potential to ameliorate the symptoms of Timira /Simple Myopia.

Abstract Background COVID-19 has become a new infectious disease in the global pandemic, most of which are non-severe patients. It is particularly important to understand the dynamic changes of the whole disease course of non-severe patients from the onset to the follow-up after discharge.Methods On February 1, 2020, 18 cases of non-severe COVID-19 appeared in a hospital in Beijing. We recorded the clinical information and viral dynamics of these patients from the onset of the disease to one month after discharge.Results Eighteen patients (median age 43) were included, including 14 females. Fever (11/18) and cough (8/18) are the most common symptoms. According to the degree of lung inflammation, 18 patients were divided into two groups (group A imaging score ≤ 10; group B imaging score > 10). The duration of SARS-CoV-2 positive in group A was significantly longer than that in group B (the median was 30 and 13, respectively, P = 0.0025). One month after discharge, almost all patients were followed up for IgM antibody disappearance and IgG antibody production.Conclusion In non-severe COVID-19 patients, the positive duration of the SARS-CoV-2 in patients with mild lung injury was longer than that in patients with severe lung injury. The possible mechanism is that the virus-mediated immune system is not fully activated in mild damaged patients.
