Amlapiita is a very common disease of present era and a disease of Annavaha Strotas, and is commonly observed in these days of modernization and industrialization. 30% of the general population is suffering from gastro-oesophageal reflux and gastritis resulting in heartburn. It is very troublesome disease and can give rise to many serious problems if not treated in time. Signs and symptoms of Amlapiita are very similar to gastritis or hyperacidity. According to conventional medical science the most common causes of gastritis are H. pylori infections and prolonged use of Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS). Gastritis is believed to affect about half of people worldwide. In 2015 there were approximately 90 million new cases of this condition. As people get older the disease becomes more common. It, along with a similar condition in the first part of the intestines known as duodenitis, resulted in 50,000 deaths in 2017. The five procedure of Panchakarma done through several procedures purify the body system by removing morbid Doshas from the body. These purification methods are essential components of the curative management of these diseases that are not controlled by palliative management.

Ayurveda is not merely a medical science. It is a complete life science. In Ayurveda all skin diseases are described under the Kushtha, which are further divided into Maha Kushtha and Kshudra Kushtha. Eka Kushtha is one of the Kshudra Kushtha described in different Ayurvedic classics. It is Vata-Kaphaj disorder. Ekakushtha has signs and symptoms i.e., Aswedanam (absence of sweating), Mahavastu (big size lesions) and Matsyasha kalopamam (scaling) which can be compared with Psoriasis. The exact etiology of Psoriasis is not known but many precipitating factors like genetic, dietary, immunological and psychological has been found. It is spreading fast because of unsuitable lifestyle changes such as dietary pattern, busy schedule and stress. The aim is to find out safe and effective treatment for psoriasis. Ayurveda plays an important role. There are three basic principles to treat any disease in Ayurveda i.e., Shodhana, Shamana and Nidana Parivarjana. Nidana Parivarjana is considered as the first line of treatment in most of the diseases. In Ayurveda diet plays a major role in the prevention and management of the disease. Sometimes Pathya and Apathya are the complete treatment of any diseases. So the main aim of this article is to focus on etiological factors of Ekakushtha and its management by various dietary regimens described in different Ayurvedic texts.

Background: Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP) is a serious disease. The role of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the prevention of PEP is conflicting. Objectives: This review aimed to assess the preventive role of NSAIDs in PEP with special emphasis on the dose and route of administration. Methods: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for relevant observational studies published in English during the period from January 2010 to January 2020. The terms post-ERCP pancreatitis, diclofenac sodium, indomethacin, NSAIDs, dose, route of administration were used. Results: Of the 179 identified, 19 full texts were screened and included in the review. Ten studies were from Europe, seven from Asia and two were published in the USA, the studies showed that NSAIDs were effective in preventing PEP when used rectally or intramuscularly, higher doses are more efficacious and the combination with stents was not superior, careful patients selection is needed in particular regarding the body mass index. Conclusion: NSAIDs were effective in PEP prevention; however, the evidence is weak due to the observational nature and the different methods used in the included studies. Randomized controlled studies are needed to solve the issue.

The study of the relationship between somatotypological features of a person and the course of diseases is today an important stage in the development of medical science. The somatotype is genetically determined and is a constant objective characteristic of a person from birth to death. Age changes, illnesses, increased physical activity change the size and shape of the body, but not the somatotype. To date, considerable theoretical and clinical material has been accumulated, which confirms the important role of the somatotype in the emergence and development of pathological processes in the human body. In the literature there are data on somatotypological features of the course of diseases of the respiratory system, cardiovascular and nervous systems, and the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, when analyzing the literature data, we did not find any work on the effect of the somatotype on the course of benign hyperplasia andprostate cancer. The identification of these patterns will be a valuable contribution to the early diagnosis of the above listed diseases.

Iron is an essential mineral that is vital for growth development, normal cellular function, synthesis of hormones and connective tissue, and most importantly, serves as a component of hemoglobin to carry oxygen to body tissues. The body finely regulates the amount of circulating and stored iron within the body to maintain concentration levels within range for optimal physiologic function. Without iron, the ability for cells to participate in electron transport and energy metabolism decreases. Furthermore, hemoglobin synthesis is altered, which leads to anemia and decreased oxygen delivery to tissue. Problems arise when there is too little or too much iron. This review explores the role of the liver in iron physiology, iron overload and discusses the most common causes of primary and secondary hepatic iron overload.

Bronchial asthma (BA) is a common disease of airways in children characterized by chronic inflammation, as well as respiratory symptoms varying in time and intensity. In recent years, an increase in the prevalence of BA has been seen, both among the adult and children’s population. The current trend stimulates scientists to continue studying the probable influence of various factors on this process, including the role of micronutrient deficiency, especially antioxidants, methylene donors and vitamin D (VD). Hypovitaminosis D has been considered as a provoking factor affecting the pathogenesis of various pathological processes. The results of numerous studies confirm the opinion that VD affects the intensity of inflammation, reducing the produc-tion of proinflammatory cytokines and secretion of mucus, and stimulates the secretion of the antiinflammatory cytokine IL-10. VD-regulated genes encode the synthesis of antimicrobial peptides that provide protection against bacteria and viruses provoking BA exacerbations. The article discusses the role of tissue growth factor (TGF-β) as an initiator of fibrosis in the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract through the activation of epithelial mesenchymal transition signals, and also discusses the inhibitory effect of VD on the processes of airway remodeling in BA. To-day it is known that VD can inhibit the progression of pulmonary fibrosis in various ways, in-cluding suppression of the expression of TGF, inhibition of the motility of epithelial cells induced by TGF-β, reduction of the excessive activation of RAS (antifibrotic effect), increase in the level of TGF antagonist. Separately, the issue of the possible strengthening of the antioxidant defense of the body in BA is considered through optimization of the supply of the organism with VD. Conclusion. Thus, taking into account the fact that to date, the results of clinical studies of the use of VD in the treatment of BA gave conflicting results, additional studies are needed to address controversial issues regarding the role of VD deficiency in the pathogenesis of BA and its control. Further understanding of the mechanisms underlying the airway remodeling will help develop a set of measures aimed at minimizing the risk of structural changes in AD.

Chronic renal failure is fatal disease because it leads to failure of excretory ,metabolic and endocrine functions of the kidneys which lead to disturb all physiological functions of the body some of these derangements is fatal to human beings to save human these body disturbances by chronic renal failure is treated by renal transplant and dialysis in different ways including peritoneal dialysis (PD.). Chronic renal failure is a common disease in patients attending Ramadi teaching hospital whom treated by peritoneal dialysis (PD) with variable results . So this study is introduced to detect the health status for managing chronic renal failure treated by peritoneal dialysis. All patients were 100 patients (53 male and 47 female) with CRF who admitted to the medical word in Al-Ramadi teaching hospital during a period from November 2008 till July 2009. Thorough history, examination and investigations were done for them including: hemoglobin, ESR ,blood urea, serum creatinine, ECG and abdominal U/S then PD was done for them according to their indications. The study showed that male was 53% with the age between 13 and 87 years while the female was 47% with the age between 12 and 91 years. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT) were the most common cause of CRF. The outcome was: 30%complete improvement, 21% partial improvement, 26% less responsive and 23% died. In the last months of my study there was significant improvement. Inconclusion; DM and HT were the most common causes of CRF respectively; however obstructive uropathy had a notable ratio. There was no significant difference regarding sex. The outcome of PD was poor early in my study with significant improvements later.

Essential Enzyme

: Xanthine oxidase (XO) is an essential enzyme in catalyzing hydroxylation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and uric acid in the kidney. Excessive formation of uric acid can lead to hyperuricemia (HUA), a condition caused by excess uric acid contamination in the blood.HUA is responsible for various diseases in the body, such as gout, cardiovascular, and renal failure. It is also associated with numerous inflammatory diseases and their metabolic pathways, including tumors, chronic hypoxia, renal injury, and hypertension. XO is a superoxide producing enzyme usually confined to lungs, liver, and blood serum. Blood assay and diagnostics for XO help in a better understanding of its associated diseases in the human body. The mechanism of how XO is released in the bloodstream is a matter of debate in medical science. In the current review article, we comprehensively discussed the role of XO in human health, inhibitors, and their regulation, isolation, and extractions of inhibitors from plants, types, and their activities towards the human health perspective are concerned.

Classic Bartter syndrome is a rare condition caused by mutations in the CLCNKB gene and characterised by metabolic alkalosis, hypokalaemia, hyper-reninaemia and hyperaldosteronism. Early signs and symptoms usually occur before a child’s sixth birthday and include polyuria and developmental delay. We treated a 13-year-old Vietnamese boy with this syndrome presenting with atypical presentations including syncope and hypertension, but normal growth and development. All common causes of hypertension were ruled out. Genetic testing found two novel mutations in the CLCNKB gene, that is, Ser12Ala (exon 2) and Glu192Ter (exon 6). His estimated glomerular filtration rate was 61 mL/min/1.73 m2 and a kidney biopsy showed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. He was well managed with long-term enalapril therapy instead of non-steroidalanti-inflammatory drugs which are recommended in managing the increased prostaglandin E2 production in Bartter syndrome. Paediatricians should be alerted with the variability in its presentation. To preserve the kidney function, treatment must include preventing factors damaging the kidneys.

Abstract Background Motivation is a crucial and widespread theme within medicine. From clinical to surgical scenarios, acquiescence in taking a pill or coming to a consultation is imperative for medical treatment to thrive. The “decade of the brain” gave practitioners substantial neuroscientific data on human behavior, helped to explain why people do what they do and created the concept of “motivated brain”. Findings from empirical psychology stratified motivation into stages of change, which became more complex over the decades. This research seeks to improve the understanding of how people make decisions about their health, and how to better understand strategies and techniques to help them resolve ambivalence in an effective goal-oriented way. Methods We establish a dialogue with Ricoeur’s phenomenology of the will in order to understand the meaning of these scientific findings. Starting from Husserlian phenomenology, Paul Ricoeur developed his thoughts away from transcendental idealism, through emancipating the intentional structures of the will from the realm of perception. Results Through introducing the concepts of the voluntary and the involuntary, Ricoeur deviated from Cartesian dualism, which renders the body as an object body, a target of natural vicissitudes. The new dualism of the voluntary and the involuntary is dealt with by reference to what Ricoeur called the central mystery of incarnate existence, which considers man “double in humanity, simple in vitality”. This duality makes it possible to consider the brain to be the natural organ of behavior in the human body, and to use empirical psychology as a path to escape from shallow subjectivations of concepts. Conclusions Paul Ricoeur’s simplicity (or unity) of existence provides an invitation for medicine to rethink some of its philosophical assumptions, such that patients can be considered to be autonomous subjects with authorial life projects. Ricoeurian anthropology has a deep ethical impact on how medicine should use technology, which arises from empirical psychology findings. The usage of this new knowledge also needs to be thoroughly inspected, since it shifts the social role of medical science.
