Dushta vrana is a commonly encountered problem in day-to-day practice. Contemporary progress in the field of surgery has reduced the incidence of wound infection to a great extent along with the use of antibiotics. But still the management of ulcer encounters many glitches. This case study discusses about a 58-year-old male patient who presented with a chronic non healing ulcer in the anterior aspect of the left ankle joint associated with pain, burning sensation, foul smelling and inflammation with no history of varicose veins. Patient was treated with Karaskara ksheera kashaya dhara followed by dressing with Jathyadi ghrta. Punarnavadi kashayam and Guggulupanchapala choornam was given internally for a period of 35days. Virechana with Avipathy Choornam was given once during the whole course of the treatment. Raktamokshana was done twice as Jaloukavacharana. In order to enhance the speedy recovery, traditional use of Kupeelu was considered. A highly potent drug among the Upavisha which is well known for properties like Vranahara, Soolahara, Kushtahara, Sothaghna etc. which augments the peripheral blood circulation, reduces pain, burning sensation and inflammation. The wound healed within a period of 35 days and got complete relief from pain, burning sensation and swelling. Thus, the patient was successfully treated with no complications.

Varicose veins are saccular dilatations of veins that are frequently convoluted. Certain vocations, such as bus drivers and police officers, necessitate lengthy standing, and those who work in these positions are prone to varicose veins. It can also happento those who do a lot of muscle work, including rickshaw pullers and sportsmen. Varicose veins are often referred to Sirajagranthiin Ayurveda. According to Acharya Sushruta, Vata prakopaka nidanassuch as physical exertion and straining cause Vatato enter the Siras, creating Sampeedana, Sankocha, and Vishoshanaand triggering Granthiproduction in the Siras, displaying Sirajagranthi.Ayurveda reveals Raktamokshanaas a treatment for varicose veins. Raktamokshanawas done as Jalaukavacharana.This is a case study of a 36-year-old male patient with a history of varicose veins who complained of discomfort, muscular spasms, and blackish discoloration over the past three years. Before 5 years ago, he hada varicose vein stripping operation for the same issue. Jalaukavacharanawas performed once a week for one month. The patient had complete relief from all symptoms, as well as a noticeable improvement in the blackish discoloration of both legs.

Amlapitta is a diseases caused due to increase in the amla guna of pitta dosha. Amlapitta is divided on the basis of gati i.e. Urdhwaga Amlapitta and Adhoga Amlapitta. Adhoga amlapitta shows symptoms like trisha, daha, murcha, bharma, moha, mandagni etc. and Urdhwaga Amlapitta shows symptoms like tikta-amlaudgara, kanthhridyakukshidaha, tikta-amalchardi etc. Due to resemblance of sign and symptom it is correlated with Gastritis. Gastritis is diseases that have symptoms like epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, heart burn etc. Gastritis occurs due to inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Prevalence of Gastritis all over the world population is 50% and it increases with age. It affects about 8-20% of population in India. A 22 years old female patient from Sirsa, Haryana was having complain of burning sensation in stomach and oesophagus after intake of food, sour belching, dry and burnt tongue since four months. She was also having history of loss of consciousness 2 month back. Her aggravating factor is mainly intake of lunch meal wherever relieving factors consist of milk and amalaki juice consumption. On the basis of all sign and symptoms she was diagnosed with Ubhyaga Amlapitta. In this case the treatment planned was Sadhyo Vamana followed by classical Virechana. In this case the given treatment pacifies mainly pitta dosha along with kapha and vata dosha due to their Amlapitta is a diseases caused due to increase in the amla guna of pitta dosha.

Amlapitta is a disease of Annahava Srotas and is more common in the present scenario of unhealthy diets and regimens. The case of Amlapitta, was managed with Vamana, one of the Panchakarma therapy, as indicated in ‘Kashyap Samhita.’ Case: A 29 year old male patient presented with complaints of pitta udiran, sour belching (amlodgara), burning sensation in throat and chest (hritkanthadaha), indigestion (avipaka) and ajeerna since 2 years. Management: Pachan was done with Hingvashtak churna. Internal oleation with Kantakari ghrita in increasing dose. External oleation and sudation was done with Sesame oil. For Vamana Akantha pan godugdha was used. Vamana dravya was madanphala churna (2gm), yashtimadhu churna (2gm), vacha churna (1gm), saindhav (2gm) (chatan with madh). Yashtimadhu kwath was used as Vamanaopag dravya. Result and conclusion: The patient was asked for follow-up after 7 days. Then the patient was asked to come for follow-up after every six months. It was seen that patient got complete relief from pitta udiran, sour belching (amlodgara), burning sensation in throat and chest (hritkanthadaha), indigestion (avipaka) and indigestion (ajeerna) on day 7. And it also seen that there was no recurrence of Amlapitta even after one and half year. Thus Vamana therapy in patient of Amlapitta is effective and shows long term relief from the symptoms.

This chapter explores movement and circulation across the Mediterranean and seeks to contribute to a history of proto-nationalism in the Maghrib and the Middle East at a particular moment prior to World War I. The discussion is particularly concerned with the interface of two Mediterranean spaces: the Middle East (Egypt, Ottoman Empire) and North Africa (Morocco), where the latter is viewed as a case study where resistance movements sought external allies as a way of compensating for their internal weakness. Applying methods developed by Subaltern Studies, and linking macro-historical approaches, namely of a translocal movement in the Muslim Mediterranean, it explores how the Egypt-based society, al-Ittihad al-Maghribi, through its agent, Aref Taher, used the press as an instrument for political propaganda, promoting its Pan-Islamic programme and its goal of uniting North Africa.

Immediately after the Second World War Sweden was struck by a wave of sightings of strange flying objects. In some cases these mass sightings resulted in panic, particularly after authorities failed to identify them. Decades later, these phenomena were interpreted by two members of the Swedish UFO movement, Erland Sandqvist and Gösta Rehn, as alien spaceships, or UFOs. Rehn argued that ‘[t]here is nothing so dramatic in the Swedish history of UFOs as this invasion of alien fly-things’ (Rehn 1969: 50). In this article the interpretation of such sightings proposed by these authors, namely that we are visited by extraterrestrials from outer space, is approached from the perspective of myth theory. According to this mythical theme, not only are we are not alone in the universe, but also the history of humankind has been shaped by encounters with more highly-evolved alien beings. In their modern day form, these kinds of ideas about aliens and UFOs originated in the United States. The reasoning of Sandqvist and Rehn exemplifies the localization process that took place as members of the Swedish UFO movement began to produce their own narratives about aliens and UFOs. The question I will address is: in what ways do these stories change in new contexts? Texts produced by the Swedish UFO movement are analyzed as a case study of this process.

Introduction. There is a lack of knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms that form peripheral nerve disorders in mercury lesions of professional origin. The study aims to reveal the mechanisms underlying peripheral nerve damage in the long-term post-contact period of chronic mercury intoxication (CMI). Materials and methods. Fifty-one people had the diagnosis of a long-term period of CMI. The post-contact period was 8.5±2.6 years. The authors compared the results with a control group of 26 healthy men who had no contact with toxic substances. Stimulating electroneuromyography was performed. We studied the body systems that could contribute to the formation of disorders in the peripheral nerves. Changes in peripheral hemodynamics were studied using reovasography. The content of autoantibodies, neuron-specific enolase, serotonin, histamine, catecholamines (epinephrine, dopamine), metanephrine, and neurotrophin-3 was reviewed. The content of ceruloplasmin, secondary products of lipid peroxidation processes, reduced glutathione, the activity of superoxide dismutase and the content of nitric oxide levels were determined. Results. The study established pathogenetic structural links of peripheral nerve disorders. The autoimmune process's role was to increase the range of antibodies to the MAG protein and increase the level of antibodies to DNA. Violations of elastic-tonic properties of peripheral vessels could be associated with the functional state of motor axons. The increased content of neurotransmitters is related to the state of peripheral blood circulation; the most pronounced changes were on the legs, which could contribute to the occurrence and maintenance of vasoconstriction. The role of oxidative stress in the formation of demyelinating disorders in patients' peripheral nerves in the long-term period of CRI is possible. Conclusion. Neuroimmunological processes has an essential role in the development of peripheral nerve demyelination was shown, which consists in an increase in the content of antibodies to the MAG protein expressed on Schwann cells of peripheral nerves and in an increase in the level of antibodies to DNA involved in the formation of demyelinating changes when exposed to metallic mercury. The revealed pathological changes in the state of the peripheral blood circulation, characterized by a violation of the vessels' elastic-tonic properties, leading to demyelination of motor axons in patients in the long-term period of CMI. The increased content of neurotransmitters in the examined is of great importance in the state of peripheral circulation. Pronounced changes in blood circulation are established on the lower extremities, which may be associated with the predominance of α-adrenergic receptors in the arterial bed and may contribute to the occurrence and maintenance of vasoconstriction in the legs. The relationship between changes in indicators of oxidative stress, consisting of a decrease in the value of superoxide dismutase and reduced glutathione, and the formation of demyelinating disorders of peripheral nerves in patients in the long-term period of CMI has been proved.

Background: From the evidence of failed injection-based growth factor therapies, it has been proposed that a naturally triggered uninterrupted blood circulation of the growth factors would be superior. Objective: We seek to stimulate discussions and more research about the possibility of using the already available growth factors found in the prostate gland and endometrium by starting a novel educable physiology, known as biological transformations controlled by the mind. Methods: We summarized the stretch-gated ion channel mechanism of the cell membrane, and offer several practical methods that can be applied by anyone, in order to stimulate and enhance the blood circulation of the growth factors from the seminal fluid to sites throughout the body. This details the practical application of our earlier published studies about biological transformations. Results: A previously reported single-patient case study has been extended, adding more from his personal experiences continually improving this novel physiological training and extending the ideas from our earlier findings in detail. Conclusion: The biological transformation findings demonstrate the need additional research to establish the benefits of these natural therapies to repair and rejuvenate tissues affected by various chronic diseases or aging processes.
