Depression is a common but serious mood disorder which exerts wide range of physical, physiological and psychological impact. It may include feeling of anxiety, sadness, emptiness, helplessness, worthlessness, guilty, irritability or restlessness. According to WHO (2017, p.1), Depression affected over 322 million people worldwide as per 2015 statistics. In India it is estimated that around 57 million people are affected by depression. Vishada is the main factor which increases the range of all the diseases. It is a condition originated from apprehension of failure, resulting in incapability of mind and body to function normally with significant reduction in activities. When depression compared with Vishada, symptoms appears similar hence we can co-relate Vishada with depression. Samanya Unmada Chikitsa can be used in all kind of Manasikarogas based on the understanding of the Doshas predominant in that particular condition. In Chikitsa sangraha, Chakradatta mentions Sarshapa taila Nasya in Unmada chikitsa. Sarshapa Taila hav-ing Ushna and Teekshna qualities that can subside VataKapha Dosha. Vishada is one of the Vataja vikara and Nasya Karma is considered as prime line of treatment in Vataja Vikaras and could effective, economi-cal and affordable treatment modality. The drug is having Snigdha Guna which is easily administrable Hence the study was planned to check efficacy of Sarshapa Taila in Vishada.

The Impact

Analyzing human gait with inertial sensors provides valuable insights into a wide range of health impairments, including many musculoskeletal and neurological diseases. A representative and reliable assessment of gait requires continuous monitoring over long periods and ideally takes place in the subjects’ habitual environment (real-world). An inconsistent sensor wearing position can affect gait characterization and influence clinical study results, thus clinical study protocols are typically highly proscriptive, instructing all participants to wear the sensor in a uniform manner. This restrictive approach improves data quality but reduces overall adherence. In this work, we analyze the impact of altering the sensor wearing position around the waist on sensor signal and step detection. We demonstrate that an asymmetrically worn sensor leads to additional odd-harmonic frequency components in the frequency spectrum. We propose a robust solution for step detection based on autocorrelation to overcome sensor position variation (sensitivity = 0.99, precision = 0.99). The proposed solution reduces the impact of inconsistent sensor positioning on gait characterization in clinical studies, thus providing more flexibility to protocol implementation and more freedom to participants to wear the sensor in the position most comfortable to them. This work is a first step towards truly position-agnostic gait assessment in clinical settings.

Main Factor

A wide range of the temperatures of hydrothermal fluid regime (430-103 °C) has been revealed in the result of microthermometric study of the fluid inclusions in the minerals of pre-ore and post-ore stages developed at the Elkon deposit. Average temperatures, as well as the temperature variation are similar for both pre-ore and post-ore stages. It allows sure determination of temperatures of uranium ore formation as 400-120 °C. Fluids possessed Na-chloride, rarely Na-chloride-carbonate composition and moderate salinity (6-16 wt. % · NaCl equiv.). The wide range of tem-peratures confirms an assumption made before that various temperatures were the reason of formation of uranium mineralization both in the form of predominantly amorphous phase (U-Ti-metagel), as well as the rarely crystalline form (brannerite). Abrupt temperature decrease was apparently the main factor of the ore precipitation.

AbstractCervicofacial hemangiomas treated from January 2001 to December 2009 was clinically evaluated. This retrospective clinical study consisted of 42 females and 20 males with the age ranged from 20 days to 55 years. The lesions were present with-in first month in 45 patients (72.6%). Two patterns of tumor growth were evident: focal and diffuse. There were 59 focal hemangiomas (80.8%) and 14 diffuse hemangiomas (19.2%). Complications noted at the time of first consultation include residual skin changes in the in 35 patients (56.5%), obstruction of orifices in 14 patients (22.6%), ulceration in 6 patients (9.7%), and infection occurred in 2 patients (3.2%). Overall, there is reduction in size and improvement in color and texture of lesion following intervention in each group. No significant difference in outcome was observed in between groups with respect to change in size and texture. However, improvement in color showed statistically significant difference and combined treatment modality and surgical treatment was found to be better.

This clinical study aims to evaluate the stability and efficiency of biodegradable self-reinforced poly-L/DL-lactide (SR-PLDLA) plates and screws for fixation of pediatric mandibular fractures. The study included 12 patients (3–12 years old) with 14 mandibular fractures. They were treated by open reduction and internal fixation by SR-PLDLA plates and screws. Maxillomandibular fixation was maintained for 1 week postoperatively. Clinical follow-up was performed at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 12 months postoperatively. Radiographs were done at 1 week, 3 months, and 12 months postoperatively to observe any displacement and fracture healing. All fractures healed both clinically and radiologically. No serious complications were reported in the patients. Normal occlusion was achieved in all cases. Biodegradable osteofixation of mandibular fractures offers a valuable clinical solution for pediatric patients getting the benefit of avoiding secondary surgery to remove plates, decreasing the hospital stay, further painful procedures, and psychological impact.

The current dependences of the output optical power and emission spectral characteristics, including their distribution (mapping) over the emitting surface, of vertical AlInGaN LEDs in a wide range of operating currents up to ~ 70A have been studied. Analysis of the current dependence of the LED optical power and emission spectrum reveals that, starting from a certain level of excitation, it is incorrect to use the value of the average current density when interpreting the ìefficiency dropî. The effect of ìcurrent crowdingî around the contacts becomes the main factor in reducing internal quantum and light extraction efficiency, limiting the energy capabilities of the LED.

The 2019 coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is a public health emergency of international concern, which poses a major challenge to mental health as a result of its unprecedented impact in this 21st century. Research in past epidemics has revealed a deep and wide range of psychosocial consequences at the individual and collective level. There are multiple associated psychological disturbances, ranging from isolated symptoms to complex disorders with marked impairment of functionality, such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Therefore, it is necessary for mental health services to develop strategies that allow them to react skillfully and provide support to health workers and the affected population so as to reduce the psychological impact as well as the development of psychiatric symptoms. The purpose of this reflection article is to show the possible consequences on the mental health of the population as a result of social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
