Dushta Vrana is a common and frequently encountered problem faced in surgical practice. The presence of Dushta Vrana worsens the condition of the patient with different complications and may become fatal. Local factors on wound like slough, infection and foreign body, affect the normal process of healing. A healthy wound in a normal body heals earlier with a minimum scar as compared to a contaminated wound. Therefore in this study all the efforts are made to make a Dushta Vrana into a Shuddha Vrana. Once the Vrana becomes Shuddha, Ropana of the Vrana will start. The objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jatyadi Taila and Jatyadi Ghrita in Dushta Vrana. Clinically diagnosed 60 Patients of Dushta Vrana were randomly divided into two groups, each consisting of 30 Patients. Group A were treated with the Jatyadi Taila and Group B was treated by Jatyadi Ghrita. The results observed was based on the relief obtained on the subjective and objective parameters taken for consideration for this study viz, size of ulcer, discharge, smell, pain, burning sensation, itching and granulation were found significant (P Lass Than 0.05). On the basis of assessment criteria and overall result of treatment, the patients of Jatyadi Taila group showed better results when compared to Jatyadi Ghrita group. Even though statistically there is no much significant difference between the two groups, but by seeing the effect on individual parameters (subjective and objective) and over all response, Jatyadi Taila seems to be effective when compared to Jatyadi Ghrita. It is having more Ropana qualities when compared to Shodhana.

The present scenario of lifestyle is prone to cause many lives deteriorating conditions. Sandhigatavata is one among the Vatavyadhi and the commonest articular disorder affecting the middle-aged, obese, and elderly population. The advancement in working pattern, lifestyle & age-factor, all together have become a prime cause for aggravation of Vata, which accelerates Dhatukshaya (depletion of tissues). Sandhigatavata can be correlated with osteoarthritis (OA) which is one such chronic, degenerative, inflammatory disease that has a great impact on the quality of the life of an individual. OA poses a huge hindrance in the day-to-day activities of the sufferer like walking, dressing, bathing etc. As per Ayurveda, it is caused due to localized accumulation of aggravated Vata in joints, which leads to Shula, Sotha, Vatapoornadritisparsha and functional disability of affected Sandhis. If not treated in time, the disease makes man disable. According to epidemiology the prevalence of osteoarthritis in India is 22-39%. Different treatment modalities like Snehana, Swedana, Lepa, Bandhana, Agni Karma and Raktamokshana are emphasized in Ayurveda to provide better relief from the pain and swelling and restore mobility; for the management of these symptoms, Swedana is the most convenient & best procedure. So, the present study was aimed to assess clinically the effect of Upanaha Swedas in the management of Janusandhigatavata. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of Vachadi Upanaha Sweda and Koladi Upanaha Sweda in the management of Janusandhigatavata. Materials and Methods: It was a randomized comparative clinical study; total 40 patients were divided into 2 groups as 20 in each. In Group A, patients were treated with only Vachadi Upanaha Sweda and other group patients were treated with Koladi Upanaha Sweda. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that both the interventions wereeffective in reducing all the signs and symptoms of Janusandhigatavata, however in parameters Shotha, tenderness and walking distance, Koladi Upanaha Sweda showed better response than Vachadi Upanaha Sweda. Conclusion: There is a significant effect of Koladi Upanaha Sweda over Vachadi Upanaha Sweda in Janusandhigatavata both clinically and statistically. Keywords: Janusandhigatavata, knee osteoarthritis, Koladi Upanaha, Vachadi Upanaha, Swedana.

Abstract BACKGROUND Sleep disorder, brings in many physical, behavioral, and mental problems. Applying continuous care model leads to proper recognition of the patient’s problems and involves the patient in solving health problems. This study aimed to determine the effect of continuous care model on the quality of sleep in menopausal women. METHODS AND MATERIALS A random clinical trial study was carried out with participation of 110 menopausal women visiting Kermanshah-based clinics (the west of Iran) in 2017. The participants were randomly assigned to intervention (n=55) and control (n=55) groups. The control group received the routine cares and in addition to the routine cares the intervention group attended four weekly group consultation sessions (60-90min). The quality of sleep in the two groups was assessed using Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention. Data analyses were done using independent t-test, ANOVA with frequent measures, Friedman’s test, Wilcoxon’s post hoc test, and X2 test in SPSS (24). RESULTS The mean scores of quality of sleep before and after the intervention were significantly different in the intervention group (p=0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of quality of sleep before (p=0.140) and immediately after the intervention (p=0.168). However, one month after, the difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.001). CONCLUSION Implementation of the continuous care model led to an improvement of quality of sleep in the menopausal women.

This study investigated effect of a 6-week telephysiotherapy programme on quality of life (QoL) of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Fifty patients with knee OA were randomly and equally assigned into two treatment groups: clinic group (CG) and telephysiotherapy group (TG). The CG received physiotherapist-administered osteoarthritis-specific exercises in the clinic thrice weekly for 6 weeks while the TG received structured telephone monitoring with self-administered osteoarthritis-specific exercises for the same duration at home. Participants’ QoL was assessed using WHOQoL-Bref at baseline, second, fourth, and sixth week of intervention. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and independent Student’st-test. Within-group comparison showed significant improvements in physical health domain (P=0.00*for TG and CG) and psychological domain (P=0.02*for TG;P=0.00*for CG) of WHOQoL following six-week intervention. However, there were no significant differences (P>0.05) in TG and CG’s social relationship and environment domains. Between-group comparison showed no significant differences (P>0.05) between CG and TG’s physical health, psychological, and social relationships domains of WHOQoL following 6-week intervention. However, there was significant difference in the environment domain (P<0.05). Telephysiotherapy using telephone medium improved QoL in patients with knee OA comparable to clinic based treatment.
