Introduction: Ayurveda is an ancient science of medicine and surgery, here many of the treatment procedures are described for combat diseases, i.e., Ksharkarma (procedure with the help of base), Agnikarma (procedure with the help of fire), Siravedhan (procedure with the help of puncturing blood vessels), Panchkarma (purification proce- dure) etc. In this science Marma (vital point) therapy is like a blessing to a human being. It is a stimulation therapy of specific points. Now these days, stress arises as a major problem in COVID-19 recovered patients. It is very common to all age groups. Major causes are lack of proper classes of students, unemployment, lack of social inter- action due to isolation and health status anxiety during COVID-19 infection. It arises during and post COVID-19 but especially in the post period of infection. In stress, Marma therapy has an important role because it helps to maintain the equilibrium of the body by working on body humour. Objective: To provide costless, chemical-free and effective treatment for post-COVID-19 patients. Data Source: Relevant various Ayurvedic literature, Samhitas (classical books), modern literature, journals, magazines and online available materials. considered. Review Method: Relevant various data source materials were considered for this. Result: stress will be relieved because this therapy acts directly on hormones secretion which is responsible for relieving stress. Conclusion: By this ther- apy, a patient gets relief without any expenses and the most important is that without using hormonal treatment. Marma therapy in stress can relieve stress by maintaining calmness in the brain, it helps to maintain the brain's proper functioning. By this therapy, not only the stress but stress-related other complications can be treated. Keywords: Marma therapy, COVID-19, post-covid-19, stress.

1. 64Cu as copper chloride in aqueous solution was given by intraperitoneal injection to rats varying in age from a few hours to 14 weeks. The isotope was allowed to circulate in the body for 24 h.2. The amount of gamma radioactivity present in the brain and blood was measured and the percentage of the initial dose present was calculated. It was shown that the brain 64Cu activity reached a maximum around the 16th day of life and that the blood showed a steady decrease in the 64Cu activity per g from birth to maturity. Measurements were also made on the liver and kidney.3. The excretion of 64Cu in the urine and faeces in 24 h was also studied. Approximately 30% of the isotope was excreted in that time, mostly in the faeces.4. A limited number of experiments in three different age groups were carried out to discover whether changes in specific activity of the isotope given to rats had a significant effect on the percentage of 64Cu taken up by the brain and blood. No such effect was seen.

Purpose of the study:This study is an academic response to a long debate about the practice of zikrullah in the community in order to get answers scientifically. Methodology:The author uses combined data in this study, qualitative data to find models of zikrullah and quantitative data through Electro Encephalo Graf to see the mechanisms and effects of zikrullah on the human brain. Main Findings: The results of the study show that in zikrullah there are five main aspects, namely the aspect of breathing as a mechanism for gas exchange for metabolism in the body, the voiceless aspect as the process of presenting zikrullah energy which will be transmitted to the brain, aspects of hearing to accelerate the presence of alpha waves, aspects of remembering as mental processes affect the limbic system and the aspect of the body's pattern as a union of several energy points. Applications of this study:Therefore, the authors conclude that this study is a new approach to seeing the process and expressing the significance of the zikrullah towards humans. The United Nations, especially WHO can use the results of this study to help humanity who needs a spiritual approach. Novelty:Zikrullah has been practiced for more than a thousand years.The name of Allah has been mentioned throughout the history of mankind, but an explanation of the aspects of zikrullah according to the scientific perspective has not yet been completed. The attention of Islamic scientists who are still little about the mystical phenomenon causes an explanation of aspects of zikrullah according to the scientific perspective has not been completed.

Skin is a type of Gyanendriya (Sparshna indriya) and largest sense organ in the body. It is result of healthy constitution of body as well as healthy mental state. Skin has great cosmetological importance. Due to sed-entary lifestyle, inappropriate diet habits and excessive stress, numerous skin aliments arise. Hence it is need for inculcating healthy skin care habits. One of the common worrying factors related to skin is Dark circles. It affects almost all age groups and is most commonly related to stress and anxiety. Drugs adminis-tered through nasal route acts on higher centers of the brain. It acts on neurological, endocrinal and circula-tory centers and regulates their functions. This study is aimed to evaluate the role of Nasya Karma with kumkumadi taila in Dark circles.

Before And After

Introduction. An osteopathic examination determines the rate, the amplitude and the strength of the main rhythms (cardiac, respiratory and cranial). However, there are relatively few studies in the available literature dedicated to the influence of osteopathic correction (OC) on the characteristics of these rhythms.Goal of research — to study the influence of OC on the rate characteristics of various rhythms of the human body.Materials and methods. 88 adult osteopathic patients aged from 18 to 81 years were examined, among them 30 men and 58 women. All patients received general osteopathic examination. The rate of the cranial rhythm (RCR), respiratory rate (RR) heart rate (HR), the mobility of the nervous processes (MNP) and the connective tissue mobility (CTM) were assessed before and after the OC session.Results. Since age varied greatly in the examined group, a correlation analysis of age-related changes of the assessed rhythms was carried out. Only the CTM correlated with age (r=–0,28; p<0,05) in a statistically significant way. The rank dispersion analysis of Kruskal–Wallis also showed statistically significant difference in this indicator in different age groups (p=0,043). With the increase of years, the CTM decreases gradually. After the OC, the CTM, increased in a statistically significant way (p<0,0001). The RCR varied from 5 to 12 cycles/min in the examined group, which corresponded to the norm. After the OC, the RCR has increased in a statistically significant way (p<0,0001), the MNP has also increased (p<0,0001). The initial heart rate in the subjects varied from 56 to 94 beats/min, and in 15 % it exceeded the norm. After the OC the heart rate corresponded to the norm in all patients. The heart rate and the respiratory rate significantly decreased after the OC (р<0,0001).Conclusion. The described biorhythm changes after the OC session may be indicative of the improvement of the nervous regulation, of the normalization of the autonomic balance, of the improvement of the biomechanical properties of body tissues and of the increase of their mobility. The assessed parameters can be measured quickly without any additional equipment and can be used in order to study the results of the OC.

Abstract We study size-at-age and sexual variability of morphometric characteristics of the marsh frog. According to the size of the body, males were divided into three size-age groups (juvenis, subadultus, adultus), females — into four groups (juvenis, subadultus, adultus, adultus-I). We found that the chronological age of frogs (skeletochronology) does not always correspond to their biological age (size and proportions of the body). We noted that the semi-adult males are reliably larger than females by mean values of 26 studied morphometric characters. Males and females of “adultus” group do not differ by linear body size, significant differences were found in body proportions (7 characters). For the females of “adultus-I” group, the mean values of 26 characters are significantly larger than for “adultus” males. The results of our study showed that with the age of the marsh frog, the level of exhibition, directionality and structure of morphometric sex differences changes.

Emerging results support the concept that Alzheimer disease (AD) and age-related dementia are affected by the ability of the immune system to contain the brain's pathology. Accordingly, well-controlled boosting, rather than suppression of systemic immunity, has been suggested as a new approach to modify disease pathology without directly targeting any of the brain's disease hallmarks. Here, we provide a short review of the mechanisms orchestrating the cross-talk between the brain and the immune system. We then discuss how immune checkpoint blockade directed against the PD-1/PD-L1 pathways could be developed as an immunotherapeutic approach to combat this disease using a regimen that will address the needs to combat AD.

Nanoparticles Toxicity

We conducted a comparative assessment of the nickel oxide nanoparticles toxicity (NiO) of two sizes (11 and 25 nm) according to a number of indicators of the body state after repeated intraperitoneal injections of these particles suspensions. At equal mass doses, NiO nanoparticles have been found to cause various manifestations of systemic subchronic toxicity with a particularly pronounced effect on liver, kidney function, the body’s antioxidant system, lipid metabolism, white and red blood, redox metabolism, spleen damage, and some disorders of nervous activity allegedly related to the possibility of nickel penetration into the brain from the blood. The relationship between the diameter and toxicity of particles is ambiguous, which may be due to differences in toxicokinetics, which is controlled by both physiological mechanisms and direct penetration of nanoparticles through biological barriers and, finally, unequal solubility.
