Arshas is one among many diseases which are most unkind towards mankind. The incidence of Arshas increases with advancing age and at least 50% of people over the age of 50 years have some degree of hemorrhoidal symp- toms. Hemorrhoids are the dilated veins in the anal canal in the subepithelial region formed by radicals of the su- perior, middle, and inferior rectal vein[1]. In this modern era the improper diet habits, junk food intake, inhibition of natural urges and mental strain makes one susceptible to this disease. Acharya Sushrutha while detailing the treatment principles of Arshas has categorized it as Bheshajasadhya, Kshara Karma Sadhya, Agnikarmasadhya and shastra karma sadhya[2]. Surgical treatments though commonly being practised are very painful and hence will put the patients into more agony. Despite putting the patient into such a state there are high chances of recur- rence of the condition. Hence there is a need for very effective as well as less/non-agonizing treatment for Arshas. Vansurana Ghrta is an unexplored formulation that is mentioned in ChikitsaManjari[3]. The main ingredient Vanasurana is considered as Agryoushada for Arshas in Kaiyyadevanighandu.

BACKGROUND Computer games can increase children’s interest in learning, and then improve their nutritional knowledge, and their dietary intake behavior. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of computer games on preschool children's nutrition knowledge and junk food intake behavior. This study was a cross-sectional study. METHODS We recruited 104 preschool children age 5-6 years from preschools and randomly assign to experiment group (n=56) and control group (n=48). The researchers used Construct 2 to design and produce the "Healthy Rat King" computer game as a nutrition education tool for children. The computer game courses intervention was one hour per week for four consecutive weeks in experiment group, and the control group did not received computer game intervention. RESULTS The results showed that the nutrition knowledge score of children in experiment group were significant higher than the control group after four weeks of computer game course intervention, and the frequency of chocolate, candies, and ice cream intake was significantly reduced in experiment group after four weeks of computer game intervention. CONCLUSIONS computer game teaching suggested that improved children’s nutrition knowledge and decreased the frequency of junk food intake.

The Brain

The allure of afflictions and appetites gone awry are endless in the modern era. They range from the endless junk food we eat, to the computer games that lock our children to distraction, compulsion, and fixation on a screen. A sense of compulsion pervades addiction. For both appetite and addiction, incentives are mediated by diverse information molecules, which include CRF and dopamine. Chapter 8 explains how CRF is tied both to the ingestion of diverse drugs and to withdrawal. This process, however, is little understood. Indeed, one of the most important discoveries in the addiction research field was that for all addictive drugs that have been tested, this dual phenomenon on ingestion and withdrawal has been expressed; this included cocaine, heroin, alcohol, and cannabis, for example. The brain is active in all stages of addiction (preoccupation/anticipation, binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative affect, and psychic pain), and is differentially regulated.

ABSTRAK Tingkat kesibukan masyarakat membuat masyarakat menyukai sesuatu yang praktis, termasuk dalam pemilihan makanan. Makanan cepat saji sangat mudah di jumpai sehingga banyak orang menyukainya. Disisi lain, kandungan gizi makanan cepat saji yang tidak seimbang akan menimbulkan masalah gizi, dan merupakan faktor risiko berat badan lebih atau obesitas serta berbagai penyakit degeneratif. Perilaku ini tentunya sangat berbahaya jika dimiliki oleh remaja, karena dampak negatifnya akan didapatkan sekarang maupun jangka panjang yang akan menurunkan kualitas kesehatan bangsa. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah memberikan gambaran konsumsi makanan cepat saji dan kejadian obesitas pada remaja di Surabaya. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan studi Analisis Observasional pendekatan Cross Sectional. Populasi adalah remaja SMP di Surabaya dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 166 orang. Cara pemilihan sampel dengan probability sampling yaitusecara cluster sampling. Alat pengambilan data adalah menggunakan kuesioner JFIM (Junk Food Intake Measure). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas remaja sebesar 84,3% mengkonsumsi makanan cepat saji dengan frekuensi yang tinggiserta terdapat hubungan antara konsumsi makanan cepat saji dengan kejadian gizi lebih (p = 0,037). Perlu kerjasama yang baik antara pihak sekolah dan Puskesmas dalam mengedukasi remaja tentang bahaya mengkonsumsi junkfood dalam frekuensi yang tinggi. Selain itu penting juga untuk memberikan edukasi kepada orang tua agar menyediakan makanan yang sehat dirumah. Peran sekolah juga sangat penting dalam menyediakan kantin sehat, sehingga gerakan masyarakat sehat yang dicanangkan pemerintah bisa terdukung dengan baik.

Surgical Treatments

Anal fistulae are common and debilitating; they are characterized by severe pain and discharge. They arise following infection near the anal canal, or as a primary event from an abscess in the abdomen, fistulating into the vagina or perianal skin. The term ‘cryptoglandular’ is given to abscesses arising from the anal glands.For many years, the treatment of choice was to lay open the fistula; however, this risks causing incontinence with potentially devastating consequences. Alternative surgical treatments include setons, fibrin glue, collagen plugs and flaps to cover the internal fistula opening. These have achieved varying degrees of success, as will be discussed. The present review also discusses anal fistulae in light of much recently published literature. Currently, anal fistulae remain challenging and require specialist expertise; however, new treatment options are on the horizon.

ObjectiveTo report anatomic and visual outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), as well as scleral buckling (SB) and PPV/SB as surgical treatments for the management of primary, non-complex rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Methods and analysisData from 751 eyes that underwent PPV, SB or combined PPV/SB as a surgical treatment for primary non-complex RRD with at least 3 months of follow-up were analysed to determine rates of single surgery anatomic success (SSAS) and final anatomic success (FAS). Patients or the public were not involved in the design, conduct or reporting of this research.ResultsPPV accounted for 89.0% (n=668), PPV/SB for 6.8% (n=51) and SB for 4.2% (n=32) cases. Overall SSAS (91.2% PPV, 84.3% PPV/SB, 93.8% SB; p=0.267) and FAS (96.7% PPV, 94.1% PPV/SB and 100.0% SB; p=0.221) were reported for the three surgical groups. SSAS and FAS were similar for lens status, macular detachment status and the presence or absence of inferior retinal breaks for each of the PPV, PPV/SB and SB groups.ConclusionsIn this large, single institution, retrospective case series, we report surgical outcomes for patients with primary non-complex RRD managed with PPV, SB or PPV/SB in the modern era of small-gauge vitrectomy. We demonstrate that primary PPV without adjunct SB provides excellent anatomic and visual outcomes irrespective of lens status, macular involvement or pathology location.
