Diabetes and Periodontitis are the most common chronic disease in the world. Abundant epidemiology evidence implies a bidirectional relationship between these two diseases. Periodontitis has been reported as the 6th compli- cation of Diabetic Mellitus. In Ayurveda, there is no direct reference for Diabetic Periodontitis. But the symptoms of Upakusha can be correlated to Periodontitis. Dantamala is one of the Prameha Poorvarupa which is quoted by Sushruta in NidanaSthana. Prathisarana and Gandusha are the procedures explained in our classics for oral hy- giene. So, the present study was undertaken to study the effect of Gaurasarsapa Lepana and LakshadiTaila Gandusha in the management of Diabetic Periodontitis. 40 patients with Diabetic Periodontitis as per inclusion criteria were selected from O.P.D and IPD of SJIIM Hospital, Bengaluru.40 Patients were treated by Gaurasarsa- pa Lepana followed by LakshadiTaila Gandusha for 15dyas. Clinical signs and symptoms were given suitable scores according to the severity and were assessed by pre and post data given in research proforma, designed for the study. The treatment showed significant results after the treatment. Keywords: Diabetic Periodontitis, Upakusha, Prathisarana, Gandusha.

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). Keywords: Pandu, Vyadhi, Srotas, Anaemia, Pallor,

Clinical signs and symptoms were given suitable scores according to their severity and assessed based on pre and post data gathered through pre-designed research clinical proforma. The results having ‘P’ value less than 0.0001 was considered to be statistically significant in this study. Result: All the patients in the group showed highly significant improvement in all the symptoms. Pain relieved 80.77%, stiffness  relieved 84.39%, fatigue relieved 100%, restricted movement  reduced by 100 % and deformity reduced by 74.15%. Conclusion: Yoga Basti is found effective in the management of Sandhivata with reference to osteoarthritis of knee joint.All the patients responded to the given treatment without any adverse effects and complications.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with central giant cell granulomas (CGCGs) and peripheral giant cell granulomas (PGCGs) in Iranian population.Methods: The data were obtained from records of 1019 patients with CGCG and PGCG of the jaws referred to our department between 1972 and 2010. This 38-year retrospective study was based on existing data. Information regarding age distribution, gender, location of the lesion and clinical signs and symptoms was documented. Results: A total of 1019 patients were affected GCGLs including 435 CGCGs and 584 PGCGs during the study. The mean age was 28.91 ± 18.16. PGCGs and CGCGs had a peak of occurrence in the first and second decade of life respectively. A female predominance was shown in CGCG cases (57.70%), whereas PGCGs were more frequent in males (50.85%). Five hundred and ninety-eight cases of all giant cell lesions (58.7 %) occurred in the mandible. Posterior mandible was the most frequent site for both CGCG and PGCG cases. The second most common site for PGCG was posterior maxilla (21%), whereas anterior mandible was involved in CGCG (19.45%). The majority of patients were asymptomatic. Conclusions: In contrast to most of previous studies PGCGs occur more common in the first decade and also more frequently in male patients. Although the CGCGs share some histopathologic similarities with PGCGs, differences in demographic features may be observed in different populations which may help in the diagnosis and management of these lesions.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(2) 2016 p.220-223
