COVID – 19 is an infectious disease drawing everyone's attention globally for public health concern. It is likely zoonotic in origin, and now its person to person spread has made it fatal. Extensive measures have been taken to control this pandemic. As treatment of COVID -19 modern medicine system, is working on trial and error basis but no specific line of treatment/vaccine has been found till date. Ayurveda is a science of life and its basic concepts were evolved during the Vedic period. These concepts were crystallized, refined and advanced further in Samhita’s. The law of uniformity of nature was established by our Acharya’s, which helped in applying the physical laws to the biological field. The entire nature was their laboratory, and their keen observation and divine vision worked as their instruments to arrive at scientific truths. Disease-free condition is the best sources of virtue, wealth, gratification and emancipation while diseases are destroyers of all these sources, welfare and life itself. Samhita's are the most popular texts of ancient essence, and very few are available in complete form. At present, Samhita's are the only representative work of ancient period providing rational guidance and authoritative support to Ayurveda physicians, research scholars and students. Studying the texts of these primary source material is essential for understanding the physical, mental and spiritual wellness of every individual of the universe. In Ayurveda, epidemics are described as Janapadadhwamsajvyadhi. So everyone is enthusiastically expecting Ayurveda for better results. In this review, article COVID-19 has been discussed on the basic concept of Trisutra in Ayurveda. Its hetu (causes), Lakshana (signs and symptoms) and chikitsa (probable treatment) have been discussed here which can be considered in future as the strategies to avoid such pandemics. These guidelines may act as preventive, protective and curative for the entire community in winning the fear of coronavirus disease.

Global Public Health Problem

Pandu Roga is one of the diseases mentioned in Ayurveda characterized by the changes in the skin colour to white (Shweta), yellowish (Peeta), greenish (Harita) etc. which is one of the “Varnopalakshita Roga" i.e., a disease characterized by the change in the colour. The clinical condition of Pandu in Ayurveda can be co-related with Anaemia described in Modern Medical Science, due to the resemblance in the clinical signs and symptoms. In Modern Medicine, Pandu is a pale appearance which may be due to the decreased blood supply to the skin or de- creased visibility of oxyhemoglobin. Anaemia is a major global public health problem and the most prevalent nu- tritional deficiency disorder in the world. This article presents the Ayurvedic concept of Pandu Roga (Anaemia).

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by deficient dystrophin protein in the muscle. The main symptoms the patient presented were delay in expressive and receptive language development, visual discontent, hyperkinetic behaviour, and inability to initiate and maintain social contact with peers. The data obtained from the family, following clinical examination, laboratory investigation results and assessment of mental status were significant for the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, hyperkinetic behaviour and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. In Ayurveda it has been classified under Medomamsa dusti further vitiates the Vata doshas occurs due to the Bheejabagahaavyava Dusti. In modern medicine there is no significant treatment available for this diseases while in Ayurvedic panchakrma therapy shows significant results in all signs and symptoms of this diseases.

Health Issues

Hypothyroidism is one of the fastest rising health issues in India, with the prevalence rate of 10.95% ~1 in 10 adults. Thus, it is of great need to deal with this ever-emerging disease. In Ayurveda, Hypothyroidism is often taken as Rasa - pradoshaja vyadhi and treated accordingly but the outcome is not as expected always. So, there is a need to find out other conditions which shows similar signs and symptoms as hypothyroidism and that can be considered in differential diagnosis. In Modern medicine the causes of Hypothyroidism are differentiated in deficiency, insufficiency of hormone, inefficiency of gland, autoimmune disorder, Cancer etc. In our study we will refer it with Kaphavruta udana vayu vikriti with the help of classical textual references which will be helpful in the treatment precisely. Aims & objective – 1. To evaluate co-relation between hypothyroidism with kaphavruta udana vayu vikruti 2. To evaluate action of erand sneh in kaphavruta udana vayu vikruti Methodology – All classical texts were referred like Bruhtrayi & Laghutrayi and others to evaluate the clinical correlation of hypothyroidism and kaphavruta udana vayu vikruti. Whether line of treatment mentioned in kaphavruta udana vayu vikruti shows the positive result in hypothyroidism. Conclusion –It was observed that the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism were very much similar with kapha vruta udana vayu vikruti. Hypothyroidism can successes fully be referred as Kaphavruta udana yavu vikruti. According to textual references we can utilize Eranda Sneha Nasya & Paan in the management of hypothyroidism. Thus, it has significant role in reducing the signs and Symptoms of Hypothyroidism because of its Vata - kaphhara, srotovishodhan, Anulomana, vrushya actions. Further studies and clinical trials are essential to evaluate the efficacy of erand sneha and correlation between hypothyroidism & kaphavruta udana vayu vikriti.

Abstract In December 2019, a novel human-infecting coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was recognised to cause a pneumonia epidemic outbreak with different degrees of severity in Wuhan, Hubei Province in China. Since then, this epidemic has spread worldwide; in Europe, Italy has been involved. Effective preventive and therapeutic strategies are absolutely required to block this serious public health concern. Unfortunately, few studies about SARS-CoV-2 concerning its immunopathogenesis and treatment are available. On the basis of the assumption that the SARS-CoV-2 is genetically related to SARS-CoV (about 82 % of genome homology) and that its characteristics, like the modality of transmission or the type of the immune response it may stimulate, are still poorly known, a literature search was performed to identify the reports assessing these elements in patients with SARS-CoV-induced infection. Therefore, we have analysed: (1) the structure of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV; (2) the clinical signs and symptoms and pathogenic mechanisms observed during the development of acute respiratory syndrome and the cytokine release syndrome; (3) the modification of the cell microRNome and of the immune response in patients with SARS infection; and (4) the possible role of some fat-soluble compounds (such as vitamins A, D and E) in modulating directly or indirectly the replication ability of SARS-CoV-2 and host immune response.

Psychic Trauma

Neuro-endovascular therapy is regarded as one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine because of its effectiveness and low-invasiveness in the treatment of difficult neurovascular diseases. On the other side of the coin however, occasionally complications may occur which not only have a profound neurological effect, but also have a severe effect on the vital prognosis. The nightmare of a neuro-endovascular therapist is a catastrophe resulting from a preventive treatment for an asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patient with a potentially dangerous disease. Therefore, grave psychic distress tends to occur on both sides of the patient-doctor relationship. Once severe complications occur, we have simultaneously to take care of not only the psychic trauma of a patient and/or family but also our own psychic trauma. If treatment is not appropriate, we might invite malpractice suits or end up in occupational burnout. In order to study the adaptive mechanisms that allow our continued survival in this new specialty of medicine, we administered a questionnaire survey to members of the Japanese Society of Neuro-endovascular Treatment. 51% of 300 respondents stated that they had been the targets of severe recriminations by patients and/or families as a result of complications. 284 respondents had multiple (2.5 on average) signs and symptoms of psychic trauma. Also 23% of respondents were unable to continue the clinical practice of neuro-endovascular therapy or resorted to conservative treatment. Only 7% of respondents had medical curriculum or residency program training on the psychological problems of complications. There is no systematic approach to education regarding physician grief in clinical practice. Many respondents tend to focus their attention solely on the details of failed interventional procedures and repeatedly “undo” actions and relive past events. However, the study showed that intellectualization of the tragic experiences without accepting and working through grief only adds to the physician's grief. The correlation was evaluated between the respondents' initial response to grieving and their change of attitude regarding their ability or willingness to performing the procedure after they had experienced devastating complications. It may be said that by facing the emotional truths of responsibility and grief, physicians can develop the ability to empathize with patients and their families. Mention is also made of the patient-doctor relationship, medical education, and the relationship with fellow physicians and medical lawsuits.

Household Preference

The use of herbal medicinal products and supplements has increased enormously over the past three decades with not less than 80% of people globally depending on them for some part of primary healthcare. However, this might be the case in many Cities. This study seeks to determine. Household preference for traditional/herbal and modern medicine in Abuja, Nigeria. Cross-sectional data from the primary source was used for this study. Two hundred and twenty (220) individuals responded to the survey hence that constitutes the sample size used for the study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data set. From the result, the mean age was 33.7 years. About 90.9% of the respondents in the study area had tertiary education. Most (60%) of the respondents were female in the study. Most (50%) of the respondents were civil servants and 58.63% of the respondents have a household size below 5 persons. 60% of the respondents prefer modern/contemporary drugs, 25.91% prefer traditional/local drugs, and 14.09% prefer to seek out spiritual prayers when they are sick. Dosage of traditional medicine cannot be regulated was the most ranked perception of the respondents. Most (55%) of the respondent posit that they were dizzy after taking traditional medicine. From the foregoing, it can be concluded that the usage of traditional medicine was still poor, as most of the households in the study posit that they preferred modern drugs. Majority of the respondent also opined that the dosage of traditional drugs could not be properly regulated. Traditional drugs had negative side effects including heavy dizziness, purging among others. Based on the findings of the study, it is therefore recommended that training and re-training be done for the producers of traditional medicine on how to better prescribe the necessary dosage per time. It is also recommended that an advocacy campaign be carried out to encourage patronage of locally produced herbs given that some of the imported or foreign drugs are made from herbs as well.

New Strategies

Antibiotic resistance is a global health concern and a current threat to modern medicine and society. New strategies for antibiotic drug design and delivery offer a glimmer of hope in a currently limited pipeline of new antibiotics. One strategy involves conjugating iron-chelating microbial siderophores to an antibiotic or antimicrobial agent to enhance uptake and antibacterial potency. Cefiderocol (S-649266) is a promising cephalosporin–catechol conjugate currently in phase III clinical trials that utilizes iron-mediated active transport and demonstrates enhanced potency against multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogens. Such molecules demonstrate that siderophore–antibiotic conjugates could be important future medicines to add to our antibiotic arsenal. This review is written in the context of the chemical design of siderophore–antibiotic conjugates focusing on the differing siderophore, linker, and antibiotic components that make up conjugates. We selected chemically distinct siderophore–antibiotic conjugates as exemplary conjugates, rather than multiple analogues, to highlight findings to date. The review should offer a general guide to the uninitiated in the molecular design of siderophore–antibiotic conjugates.

As If

In this article I would like to touch upon one of the basic questions of modern medicine that life itself urges. It is the question of revising the method of clinical work, of revising the direction of the doctor's thought, which has taken root in his mind as a result of the inertia of the progressive advance of medicine, which at one time, probably since Hippocrates, has had a definite bias in its development. And this inertia of medical thought, as if logically justified by the length of time we have been working in a certain direction, thereby hypnotizes us, forcing us to recognize correctness where it does not really exist.

Trauma Informed

“The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to be able to walk on water without getting wet. This sort of denial is no small matter”1The concept of trauma and traumatic stress emerged in the field of mental health over forty years ago and is a widespread public health concern.  The paradigm of trauma-informed care acknowledges that trauma and traumatic stress overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope while simultaneously changing their biology with both short term and lifelong implications for health and wellbeing. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) was the first to implement a trauma-informed care framework which “(1) realizes the widespread impact of trauma; (2) recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others; (3) responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and (4) actively seeks to resist re-traumatization.”2
