Vicharchika is one of the Kshudra Kushta (skin disease). Kashyapa mentioned it as Sadhya Vyadhi. Almost all symptoms are Vata-Pitta or Kapha-Pitta predominant and even Tridosha involvement and it is specifically located at lower extremities. The choice of treatment is Virechana (purgation) and Raktamokshan (bloodletting). We can use this modality as per requirement. Kandu (itching), Pidika (pimples), Bahusrava (discharge) get relieved completely (100%) after Virechana. Mild effect was noticed in Shyava (blackish discoloration) and Rukshata (dryness) i.e. (33.33%). Highly significant result found after both the therapies (Virechana and Raktamokshana) and marked improvement was seen in Shyava and Rukshata after Raktamokshana. It shows over all Ayurvedic modality gives very good result in Vicharchika..

Background: Syndactyly is a congenital anomaly, basic principles of surgical release of syndactyly have been well established, each patient requires a thorough assessment of the soft-tissue and bony components in the syndactylized region. Reconstruction must be planned carefully when more than two digits are involved or when the syndactyly is a component of a systemic congenital syndrome. The aim of the treatment strategies for syndactyly is to separate the fused digits, create a functional hand, and produce an aesthetically acceptable web.Methods: The prospective clinical study is conducted in the Department of Plastic & Reconstructive surgery, between October 2016 to October 2018. Twenty six patients with congenital syndactyly and post burn syndactyly of fingers were included in this study.Results: There were no intra operative complications and no cases had any neurovascular compromise. Integrity of Dorsal and volar flaps, quality of scars, aesthetical aspects of fingers are reasonably good in almost all the cases that are operated in this study. Overall 97% of patients treated achieved good function and superior results following single surgery.Conclusions: Primary syndactyly is more common than secondary syndactyly. In this study the primary goal is separation of fused digits/toes and covering the web space with dorsal flap, and covering the separated digits/ toes with a graft and create a functional hand and produce an aesthetically web with fewest complications and fewest surgical corrections.

Basti is considered the best modality of treatment in managing the disorders of Vata Dosha. As Sandhigatavata is also one among Vatavyadhi, Basti is the effective line of treatment, which is characterized by swelling, pain during flexion and extension of joints. Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint condition with a prevalence of about 22% to 39% in India. There is a steady rise in prevalence from age 30 such that by age 65, 80% of people will have radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis. It is caused by the degradation of the joints, the articular cartilages and subchondral bone. It is characterized by pain, stiffness and loss of flexibility of joints.1 By foregoing, Sandhi- gatavata can be readily correlated to Osteoarthritis. In contemporary medical science, they use NSAIDs for control of the symptoms. Acharya Sushrutha and Acharya Charaka have mentioned Snehana (Oleation) as a line of treat- ment in Sandhigatavata. So here an attempt is made through Janubasthi and Matrabasthi using Saireyaka Taila2 mentioned in Gada Nigraha under Vata Vyadhi for treating Janusandhigatavata in specific. Method: This study is an open-label, observational and clinical study containing 30 patients, who were posted for Janu Basti and Matra Basti with Saireyaka Taila for 9 days. The assessment was carried out before treatment, during treatment (5th day), after treatment (on 10th day) and after following up (28th day) and the gradings were noted. Results: Out of 30 patients in this study, 5 patients (17%) were getting Moderate Improvement and 25 patients (83%) were gettingGood Improvement. The overall effect of the treatment is 69.44%. Conclusion: It is concluded that the combined effect of Janubasti and Matrabasti with Saireyaka Taila is clinically and statistically significant in almost all the parameters. Keywords: Janu Basti, Matra Basti, Sandhivata, Osteoarthritis, Saireyaka Taila.

Skin disease is one among Deerghkalinvyadhi (Chronic disease) and also one of the AsthaMahagada (Eight dreadful diseases). The disease psoriasis comes under the Kustha roga. Psoriasis is one of the most common dermatologic disorder and a chronic skin disorder of present day. Almost all the skin disease is explained under Kushta- Rogadhikara (skin disease) and classified as MahaKushta and Kshudra Kushta (Major and Minor skin disease). Acharya have described that all Kushta’s have Tri Dosha (three energies) involvement but the type of Kushta depends on the predominance of particular Doshas. The signs and symptoms of Eka-Kushta (psoriasis) in Ayurveda are similar to that of psoriasis explained in modern medicines. Psoriasis is marked by periodic flare-ups of sharply defined red patches, covered by a silvery, flaky surface. Aswedana (Absence of perspiration), Mahavastu (Present all over body), MastyaShakalopama (Look like a fish scale) is the feature mentioned by Acharyas for Eka-kushta. In Psoriasis relapsing nature is most common, which suggests that it needs long term treatment. In modern there is no such treatment for psoriasis. Here is the case of 52 yrs old male patient diagnosed as Plaque psoriasis undergone treatment of Shodhan (Purification) i.e. Vaman (Emesis) as well as Shaman Chikitsa (Palitative treatment) having marked improvement. The study showed that combination of Ayurvedic modalities gives significant result in lakshnas (Symptoms) like Aswedana, Mahavastu, MastyaShakalopama.

AbstractNonwovens are one of the most versatile textile materials and have become increasingly popular in almost all sectors of the economy due to their low manufacturing costs and unique properties. In the next few years, the world market of nonwovens is predicted to grow by 7%–8% annually (International Nonwovens & Disposables Association [INDA], European Disposables and Nonwovens Association [EDANA], and Markets and Markets). This article aims to analyze the most recent trends in the global export and import of nonwovens, to present two case studies of Polish companies that produce them, and to present one special case study of the market of nonwoven geotextiles in China and India, which are the Asian transition economies among the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa).
