The metabolic disorders are main and increasing public-health and clinical challenge worldwide because of urbanization, excessive energy intake, increasing obesity, and sedentary life styles. According to International Diabetes Federation (IFD) diabetes is one of the major metabolic disorders and a dangerous risk factor for heart problems. Twenty five percent of the world’s adults have metabolic disorders. Recently in year 2013 the American Heart Association also reported that adults have abnormal serum lipid profile. Allopathic drugs used as hypolipidemic agents have number of unwanted effects. Herbal therapy for Hyperlipidemia is getting attention due to their less frequent side effects. In this study we have compared hypolipidemic effects of Fenofibrate 40 mg with Nigella sativa. Seventy five hyperlipidemic patients from National Hospital Lahore were enrolled for study. Consent was taken from all enrolled participants and were divided in three equal numbers ie; twenty five in each group. Group 1 was on Nigella sativa, group 2 was on Gemfibrozil and third group was on placebo therapy. They were advised to take drugs for two months. After completion of study pretreatment and post treatment values of LDL cholesterol were analyzed statistically. In 25 patients who were on Nigella sativa, their LDL cholesterol decreased from 191.14±3.45 to 159.40±2.98 mg/dl. 31.7 mg/dl LDL reduction was observed when compared with placebo group. In 25 patients who were on Fenofibrate 40 mg, their LDL cholesterol decreased from 197.77±3.91 mg/dl to 159.62±2.20 mg/dl. LDL reduction in this group was 38.2 mg/dl. These changes are highly significant with p-values of <0.001. We concluded from this study that hypolipidemic characteristic of Nigella sativa is comparable and therapeutically as effective as traditionally used hypolipidemic medication Fenofibrate.

Prediabetes is a condition in which there is elevated blood sugar does not reach the criterion accepted for an outright diagnosis of diabetes. The researchers are struggling to search an effective, satisfactory and harmless remedy. In present day, the Prediabetes is managed by lifestyle modification such as diet and exercise. They are helpful in controlling the condition but, even then a large population of Prediabetic patients turn out to be diabetic. Improper dietary habbits and sedentary life styles are the major causative factors described for Prediabetes, which closely resemblance with the etiology of Kaphaja prameha. In our classics, Acharyas has mentioned that the person inflicted with Kaphaja Prameha should be administered the Apatarpana Chikitsa (depletion therapy) due to the involvement of vitiated Kleda, Meda and Kapha. We hereby present a case report of 63 year old male patient who was diagnosed as prediabetic according to American Diabetic Association. The patient was treated with Snehapana with Murchitha Sarsapa Taila(6 days) followed by Virechana with Trivrt Churna (1 day) and Nisakathakadi kashaya (3 months). The clinical effects were assessed on the basis of subjective and objective parameters. After the completion of the treatment, his FPG 116 mg/dL reduced to 98 mg/dL, OGTT 162 mg/dL reduced to 134 mg/dL and HbA1c level 6.3% reduced to 5.6%.

Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a persistent condition of liver steatosis in the absence of alcohol consumption. The main risk factors associated with the disease are hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia these are together termed as metabolic syndrome. Recent studies identified that children are more vulnerable to develop NAFLD in future due to sedentary life styles and poor diet. NAFLD can further make complications of cardiovascular and liver related disorders. Apart from these causes there are factors such as enzyme, gene expression; amino acid regulation and so on in the human body plays an important role in the development of NAFLD. The objective of this research is to summaries the various ways by which a NAFLD is affected in a normal individual and to point out current research on treatment strategy for the NAFLD.

To displace a character in time is to depict a character who becomes acutely conscious of his or her status as other, as she or he strives to comprehend and interact with a culture whose mentality is both familiar and different in obvious and subtle ways. Two main types of time travel pose a philosophical distinction between visiting the past with knowledge of the future and trying to inhabit the future with past cultural knowledge, but in either case the unpredictable impact a time traveller may have on another society is always a prominent theme. At the core of Japanese time travel narratives is a contrast between self-interested and eudaimonic life styles as these are reflected by the time traveller's activities. Eudaimonia is a ‘flourishing life’, a life focused on what is valuable for human beings and the grounding of that value in altruistic concern for others. In a study of multimodal narratives belonging to two sets – adaptations of Tsutsui Yasutaka's young adult novella The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Yamazaki Mari's manga series Thermae Romae – this article examines how time travel narratives in anime and live action film affirm that eudaimonic living is always a core value to be nurtured.

Abstract The aim of this research was to determine to what extent different variables describe the style and way of life present within the student population in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this sense, in addition to general data on examinees, gender differences were identified, the assessment of parental dimensions of control and emotion, overall family circumstances, level of empathy, intercultural sensitivity, role models, preferences of lifestyles, everyday habits and resistance and (or) tendencies to depressive, anxiety states and stress. The survey included a sample of 457 examinees, students of undergraduate studies at the University of Zenica and the University of Sarajevo, with a total of 9 faculties and 10 departments covering technical, natural, social sciences and humanities. The obtained data give a broad picture of the everyday life of youth and confirm some previously theoretically and empirically justified theses about the connection of the family background of students, everyday habits, with the level of empathy, intercultural sensitivity and preferences of the role models and lifestyles of the examinees.
