<p><em>Yoga is becoming an increasingly global activity. This worldwide yoga is only for hatha yoga, not accompanied by the well-known advanced stages of hatha yoga, namely Raja yoga. The actually, Yoga teach to connect ātman and paramātman . This goal can be achieved if humans undergo the stages of yoga as a whole so that the atman who is affected by virtual nature can be purified again.Maha Rsi Pātañjali was the first people to give an explanation of the yoga system in the Yoga Sutras and there are eight stages which are called astangga yoga. Furthermore, yoga teachings are also contained in tattwa texts, including: Lontar Text of Tattwa Jñāna (prayogasaṅdhi);The lontar text of Wrhaspati Tattwa (ṣaḍanga yoga); Lontar text of Jñānasiddhânta (ṣaḍ-aṅga-yoga). Tattwa texts contain teachings about yoga because in the tattwa teachings there are the concepts of cetana and acetana. Putting off acetana leads to cetana with yoga as the path. The teachings of yoga whose aim is to connect and purify the ātman to paramātman  are related to the advaita or monistic concept of divinity, because the paramātman  that the ātman  will aim at in yoga is of course the monistic paramātman  which believes that everything is God and all the differences that exist are mere delusion.</em></p>

Recent reports in the medical literature suggest that some vigorous Yoga breathing practices (prânâyâma) may pose health risks. This article addresses the issue of safety in prânâyâma by reviewing traditional cautions and recommendations from Yoga texts such as the Yoga Sûtras and Hatha Yoga Pradipikâ, and by describing the prerequisites for beginning a prânâyâma practice. Prerequisites include the ability to establish a normal breathing pattern with efficient use of the diaphragm, the ability to consciously control the process of breathing without strain or undue tension, learning basic prânâyâma techniques before advanced techniques, and preparation of the body through Yoga postures. Finally, safety precautions are described for practicing more vigorous prânâyâma techniques

Abstract: What is Yoga? How is Self-realization achieved through Yoga? The great Sage Pātañjali (3rd Century B.C.) defined yoga in the Yoga-Sūtras as “the restraint of the modifications of the mind” (yogaś-citta-vritti-nirodah). In his Yoga-Sūtras (196 sutras), Pātañjali systematically laid down the exact methods and techniques for attaining Self-realization through the Eight Limbs of Pātañjali’s Yoga (Ashtānga-yoga). This system is commonly known as Rāja-yoga (Royal yoga). This Eight Steps is the way to attain self-transcendence. It consists of yama, niyama, āsanas, prānāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāranā, dhyāna and samādhi. This article will focus on Ashtānga-yoga in the practical and philosophical contexts. Other systems of yoga also use this Eight Steps, but each yoga may start from and emphasize different aspects of yoga. However all systems of yoga accept and practice the Eight Steps of yoga to achieve the final goal, that is liberation (kaivalya, moksha, mukti). Yoga also reconciles the six systems of Indian Philosophy (Shadh Darśana).   Keywords:  Rāja-yoga  (Royal  yoga),  Hatha-yoga  (Hard  yoga), Bhakti-yoga (Yoga of Devotion), Jñāna-yoga (Yoga of Knowledge), Ashtānga-yoga (Eight limbs of Yoga), Citta-vritti-nirodha (Restraint of  modification of  the  mind),  Purusha  (Spirit),  Prakriti  (Matter), Iśvara-pranidhāna (Surrender to God), Moksha (Liberation).

The word "yoga" is commonly used to refer specifically to Hatha yoga stretching postures or generally to Hatha yoga programs that also include certain relaxation,breathing and meditation practices. Such programs, however, represent only certain aspects of the comprehensive system that comprises the physical, psychological,philosophical, and spiritual components of yoga. In the generic sense, yoga means the practical aspect of a philosophy, — its methods and application. More specifically, it refers to the philosophical view of the world and the individual described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and related texts.

Surgical resection is the first choice of treatment for patients with hepatocellular (HCC) and cholangiocellular carcinomas. Prolongation of survival is, however, the only realistic goal for most patients, which can be often achieved by nonsurgical therapies. Inoperable patients with large or multiple HCCs are usually treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with lipiodol in combination with a chemotherapeutic drug and gelfoam. Three-year survival depends on the stage of the disease and is about 20%. Patients with earlier tumor stages (one or two tumor nodules less than 3cm in size) are suitable for treatment with percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) alone or in combination with TACE. Several studies have shown that in these early stages, the 3-year survival rate is approximately 55%-70% in the actively treated patients which is significantly higher than in untreated patients. In advanced stages of the disease, TACE and PEI have no effect on survival and should not be performed. Some of these patients have been successfully treated with octreotide. Patients with inoperable cholangiocellular carcinoma are treated by endoscopic or percutaneous stent placement. If stenting does not achieve adequate biliary drainage, multidisciplinary therapy including internal / external radiotherapy or photodynamic therapy should be considered in patients with potential long-term survival. In conclusion, nonresectional therapies play an essential role in the therapy of inoperable hepato- and cholangiocellular carcinomas as they lead to satisfactory survival. Multidisciplinary therapy appears to be the current trend of management.

Introduction. The primitive malignant melanoma of nasal mucosa and paranasal sinus is a rare tumor of uncertain etiology, with unpredictable biologic behavior and bad prognosis. Unlike skin melanomas, there are no risk factors and the disease is frequently manifested in older patients, whose clinical otorhinolaryngology complaints are normally non-specific and ranges from nasal obstruction to rhinorrhea and epistaxis. Unfortunately, this disease is diagnosed basically in advanced stages which makes the surgery difficult. Objective. To report a case of primitive malignant melanoma of nasal mucosa, ethmoid and frontal sinuses, that was diagnosed in 2015. It was performed a subtotal resection in another hospital in 24.08.2015, with a large local reccurence. Report. Our patient was a 78-year-old woman with bilateral nasal obstruction, light epistaxis and unilateral rhinorrhea. The ENT, CT and  MRI exams showed a tumour with important, invasion of the nasal cavity structures (billateral nasal bones, left frontal process of the maxilla, the superior midpoint of the nasal septum, bilateral middle and superior turbinates, left ethmoid and bilateral frontal sinuses). The patient was submited for surgery: total macroscopic resection in the combined endoscopic approach; transnasal and modified lateral rhinotomy with titaniul plates reconstruction of the external nose architecture. Conclusions. Malignant melanomas of nasal mucosa are, in general, diagnosed in advanced stages. Their histological characteristics in the mucosa makes difficult the surgical treatment, which is one of the most efficient options, because they are resistant to chemo and radiotherapy. The early diagnosis and a good surgical treatment plan are the best option for this tumor nowadays.
