Sneha Kalpanas in Ayurvedic medicine are very effective and unique preparations. In classics, for single formula- tion many indications are stated. For same preparation, some of ingredients are altered in various Samhitas. For a single disease, exact same protocol of treatment cannot be followed. Because treatment protocol will be based on many factors, treatment has to be employed by looking into the involvement of Dosha, Dooshya (tissues) and based on the diseased condition of a patient. In such condition, Yukti (reasoning capacity) of a physician plays important role. Panchatikta Guggulu Ghrita (PTG Ghrita) is one unique formulation which has many indications stated in different Ayurvedic classics. The utility of this medicine can be made by looking into classics thoroughly and analyzing the condition of a patient. PTG Ghrita is indicated in almost all Dhatu and all Srotogata vyadhis (Systemic diseases). PTG Ghrita can be used as Sneha Drava, as a Shodhanaga sneha (oleation in purificatory therapies), as a Shamananga sneha (oleation in Palliative treatment) and also it can be used as Sneha Dravya in Basti dravya (drugs in Enema therapy).

Patients with brain tumors may have the following issues: tumors are in deep or vital regions; they refuse the biopsy; the neurosurgeon does not reach the tumoral tissue and the biopsy is irrelevant; advanced cases, considered “outside the surgical and oncological therapeutic resources”. These patients cannot receive oncological treatment or radiotherapy because of the restrictive indications of the insurers (health insurance companies) or because of the risk of allegations of malpractice. Patients will not receive some social security rights (short term sick leave, disability pension) in the same way as cancer patients, but only as a patient with a common illness. Patients can receive palliative treatment, can be hospitalized in oncology departments. We propose to discuss a separate diagnostic and treatment protocol for this group of patients, based on laboratory (ctDNA) and imagistic criteria. Assistive technologies using Computer Vision Model combined with Convolutional Neural Network may help classificate and diagnose these tumors.

Background: There are several diseases which arise in gall bladder and one of them is gall stones (cholelithiasis). The prevalence rate is difficult to work out because calculous disease is often asymptomatic. Cholelithiasis has become one among the foremost common diseases of the biliary tract. approximately 80 percent of gallstones contain cholesterol and therefore the remaining 20 percent are pigment stones, which consist mainly of calcium bilirubinate. Case Report: A 35-year male patient approached complaints of heaviness of abdomen, mild intermittent abdomen pain, nausea and with ultrasonography report which was suggestive of cholelithiasis of 4.7mm. Conclusion: The patient was diagnosed as Pittashmari and treated with ayurvedic medicine. With the help of Ayurvedic treatment protocol, the patient was free from 4.7mm cholelithiasis within 2 months of treatment and also improvement was observed in symptoms like the heaviness of the abdomen, pain in the abdomen, and nausea.

For a woman “Rajah” is a very important factor. Shuddha Rajah or Artava is a sign of Dhatuparipurnata. In Ayurveda, Rajonivrutti is not described as a diseased condition. Almost all Acharya have described the age of Rajonivrutti as approximately 50 years without any controversy. The majority of the Lakshanas of Oajonivrutti are due to Vata Vriddi, Kapha Kshaya, Ashayapakarsha of Pitta by aggravated vata; vitiation of Manovaha Strotas; and Dhatukshaya, Which all are manifesting as a part of aging. The diagnosis was carried out on the basis of various symptoms. On the basis of criteria of assessment adopted, Medhya Grita Nasya the total effect of therapy has been carried out.

This Quotation from the writings of one of the founders of ancient Hindu or Ayurvedic medicine, is evidence that Suśruta was aware of the diagnostic significance of odors in many diseases. For most contemporary physicians an awareness of the importance of the sense of smell in clinical medicine was rekindled largely by the discovery of phenylketonuria by Følling ill 1934.2 He, as has almost every other student of this disease, called attention to a distinctive odor of patients with PKU. With the burgeoning of our knowledge of inborn errors of metabolism during the last decade, we are now aware of at least five additional conditions in which the patient's odor is unusual; these conditions include disorders of amino acid as well as fatty acid metabolism. ODORS IN CLINICAL MEDICINE The quality or character of odors described ill clinical medicine for the same disease varies from author to author. Although an odor may be defined as a volatile emanation that is perceived by the sense of smell, the precise description of a particular odor is extremely difficult. This may be because most of us, unlike almost all other mammals, pay little attention to the odors around us. It is not that we are anosmic but rather that our faculty for discniminating smell in clinical practice has atrophied from disuse. Sources of Patients' Odors Odors arise chiefly from the secreta and excreta of the body: sweat, sebum from the skin; secreta from the nose, mouth, throat, bronchi, and lungs; urine, stool and vaginal discharges; wound suppuration; and from necrotic tissue.

AbstractVarious types of local zeta functions studied in asymptotic group theory admit two natural operations: (1) change the prime and (2) perform local base extensions. Often, the effects of both of the preceding operations can be expressed simultaneously in terms of a single formula, a statement made precise using what we call local maps of Denef type. We show that assuming the existence of such formulae, the behaviour of local zeta functions under variation of the prime in a set of density 1 in fact completely determines these functions for almost all primes and, moreover, it also determines their behaviour under local base extensions. We discuss applications to topological zeta functions, functional equations, and questions of uniformity.

Nasa (Nose) is an Indriya, which works not only to perceive the smell but also to provide the main breathing pathway, along with this, Nasa is one of the drug administration pathways. Acharyas have been placed Nasya as one of the Panchkarma procedures, which signify the importance of Nasya as Shodhana Karma (Purification procedure) especially for Urddhva-jatrugata Vikara (disease which affect the body above clavicle). Nasya Karma is a therapeutic measure in which the drug (Medicated Oil/Ghee/ Decoction/ Powder/Smoke etc.) is administered by Nasa (Nose) essentially to remove the vitiated Dosha found in Shira and its constituent parts. Indirectly, by enhancing the functions of the endocrine glands and nervous system, Nasya can operate on the entire body. In classics Nasya is mentioned in different type of supra-clavicular as well as in systemic diseases. So present review article focused on the therapeutic uses of Nasya Karma in different diseased condition which are proven by clinical researches.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of canine distraction and also to evaluate the position of canine in the arch after distraction. Materials and methods The study sample consisted of five patients, (4 males and 1 female), in the age group of 14 to 25 years who needed canine retraction (ten maxillary canines including both left and right) and first premolar extraction as their treatment protocol were included in the study. This study used a in-house manufactured periodontal ligament distractor. Results The maxillary canines were distracted distally by 6.42 mm in three and half weeks with a distal tipping of around 15.1° and the maxillary first molars tipped mesially by an average of 6.1°. The maxillary canines rotated mesiobucally by an average of 7.8° bilaterally. Conclusion: Canines can be distracted rapidly with minimal effects on the vitality and the periodontal condition and almost all of extraction space can be used for anterior dental alignment or retraction. Maxillary canines can be rapidly retracted into the first premolar extraction space at the rate of about 2.43 mm per week. Conclusion Canines can be distracted rapidly with minimal effects on the vitality and the periodontal condition and almost all of extraction space can be used for anterior dental alignment or retraction. Maxillary canines can be rapidly retracted into the first premolar extraction space at the rate of about 2.43 mm per week. Clinical significance The overall treatment time is reduced as the time taken for retraction of canine is decreased considerably from 6 and 8 months to 3 weeks. Also there is no significant anchorage loss during this period and is well suitable for cases with group a anchorage where the whole extraction space is needed for retraction of anterior teeth.

Abstract Ewing sarcoma family of tumors predominantly affect the pediatric population in the long bones of the extremities or the pelvis, and only 8% of cases arise within the spine. Primary Ewing’s sarcoma of the cervical spine is extremely rare and less than 30 cases have been reported in the literature thus far. Here we present a case of primary Ewing’s sarcoma of the cervical spine in a 28-year-old female who presented with a three-month history of neck pain and right arm radiculopathy. MRI revealed a homogeneously contrast enhancing, eccentric mass with dural tail at C2-C7. After undergoing a hemilaminectomy, histopathology confirmed extraosseous Ewing’s sarcoma with CD99 positivity. A comprehensive systemic and neuraxis work-up ruled out overt metastasis. We extrapolated data from children’s cooperative group studies and IESS-II clinical trial to formulate a three phase treatment protocol as described below. To date, patient is in remission with no evidence of any residual disease in the cervical spine. In conclusion, although Primary Ewing’s sarcoma of the cervical spine is extremely rare it should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with neck pain and a spinal mass under the age of thirty. Less than 25% of EFT’s present with overt metastasis and almost all have subclinical metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, therefore, a comprehensive evaluation and systemic chemotherapy is recommended. We recommend a multidisciplinary approach of surgical decompression to preserve neurological functions, followed by compressed chemotherapy regimens, reevaluation for local treatment, and adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract Background: Periodontal pathology in children has distinctive characteristics that can be accounted for by the peculiarities of the age, the dynamically changing oral environment, and the processes of formation and stabilization of periodontal structures during teeth eruption. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the composition of the subgingival microbiota during permanent dentition formation in puberty. Materials and methods: The study included 30 children aged between 10 and 15 years without gingivitis (up to 25% PBI), with good oral hygiene, with no systemic diseases or reception of antibiotics for 3 months. The clinical status of all children was assessed using a specially designed chart based on the periodontal examination chart of a child adopted by the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, FDM-Sofia. Gingival sulcus samples were taken with a paper pin from 6 teeth for a PCR – Real Time study of 9 control strains (a comprehensive sample). The samples were sent for investigation in standardized containers. Results: C. gingivalis (green complex) was found in almost all tested children and F. nucleatum (orange complex) - in more than half of them. The rest of the tested samples for microorganisms was isolated in just few of the children (6% - 17%). A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis were not isolated in this study. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that a significant amount of the periodontal pathogens migrate to the subgingival zone relatively early, immediately after the permanent teeth eruption, and become a risk factor for the development of periodontal disease.

The oral cavity is suggested as the reservoir of bacterial infection, and the oral and pharyngeal biofilms formed by oral bacterial flora, which is comprised of over 700 microbial species, have been found to be associated with systemic conditions. Almost all oral microorganisms are non-pathogenic opportunistic commensals to maintain oral health condition and defend against pathogenic microorganisms. However, oral Streptococci, the first microorganisms to colonize oral surfaces and the dominant microorganisms in the human mouth, has recently gained attention as the pathogens of various systemic diseases, such as infective endocarditis, purulent infections, brain hemorrhage, intestinal inflammation, and autoimmune diseases, as well as bacteremia. As pathogenic factors from oral Streptococci, extracellular polymeric substances, toxins, proteins and nucleic acids as well as vesicles, which secrete these components outside of bacterial cells in biofilm, have been reported. Therefore, it is necessary to consider that the relevance of these pathogenic factors to systemic diseases and also vaccine candidates to protect infectious diseases caused by Streptococci. This review article focuses on the mechanistic links among pathogenic factors from oral Streptococci, inflammation, and systemic diseases to provide the current understanding of oral biofilm infections based on biofilm and widespread systemic diseases.
