            In present era, changes in life style and food habits leads to imbalance of sharirika doshas, as well as mansik doshas which is the cause for Amlapitta . Amlapitta is one of the most common disease seen in the society. In the ancient text books of Ayurveda it is described that irregular food and life style habits are the main causative factors for the disease. There are two types of Pitta, Prakruta and Vidagadha. The Rasa of Prakruta Pitta is Katu and Vidagdha Pitta is Amla. The Amla Guna of Pitta increases in its Vidagdha Avastha, which further leads to increase in its Drava Guna, thus resulting in Amlapitta. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the role of Vamana Karma in Urdhwaga Amlapitta. Method: A clinical study done on 90 patients of both sexes, between age group 16-60yeras were randomly selected. Madanaphala pippali churna along with Yashtimadhu phanta was administered for Vamana Karma. Vamana Karma was done in following order- Purvakarma, Pradhana and Paschata Karma. Assessment was done after completion of therapy. Result: By Vamana karma, kapha & pitta may expel out from amashaya (stomach) thereby uprooting pitta dosha. Significant improvement was observed in all the parameters like Amlodgar, Tiktodgar, Urahdaha, Kukshidaha, Kanthadaha, Hriddaha, Adhman, Gaurava. In all the patient percentage relief on symptoms has been observed. This shows that Vaman Karma is effective in Urdhwaga Amlapitta.

There were 18 male cases and 6 female cases, all died due to incidence of scald. All reported cases were domestic in nature. Upper part of the body was affected in majority of the cases and boiling water was the main source of scalds. The surface area affected in all cases was more than 50% which was calculated with the help of rule of nine. The cause of death in majority of the cases was septicemia. Aim: The aim of the study is to explore of causative factors of wet burns in young age group.

Abstract Background Changes in diet and physical activity can affect the prevalence of overweight. The study aimed to evaluate trends in overweight and lifestyle factors among Lithuanian population considering socio-demographic factors. Methods The data were obtained from eleven cross-sectional postal surveys of Lithuanian Health Behaviour Monitoring, carried out in 1994-2014. For every survey, a nationally representative random sample of 3000-4000 individuals aged 20-64 was drawn from the National Population Register. In total, 8738 men and 11822 women participated in these surveys. Self-reported body weight and height were used to calculate BMI. Questions about food consumption and physical activity were included in questionnaires. Results Between 1994 and 2014, the proportion of men with overweight (BMI≥25 kg/m2) increased from 47.5% to 58.6 and the proportion of men with obesity (BMI≥30 kg/m2) - from 10.7% to 19.5%. The increasing trends were observed in all socio-demographic groups. In women, the prevalence of overweight decreased from 51.7% in 1994 to 46.0% in 2014; the prevalence of obesity has not changed significantly and was 17.3% in 2014. The most remarkable decrease in BMI was observed in women of the youngest age group and with university education. Socio-demographic differences in the trends in nutrition habits were in line with changes in BMI. The highest decrease in fatty meat and milk products consumption and an increase in fresh vegetable consumption were reported by younger, highly educated and living in city women. Since 1994, the proportion of men and women having leisure-time physical activity at least four times a week has increased, however, only to 29.1% of men and 24.5% of women. Older people and those with lower education were less physically active. Conclusions Over 20 years, the prevalence of overweight increased in Lithuanian men and decreased in women. These trends were related to trends in diet and physical activity habits. Key messages Over 20 years, the increasing trends in the prevalence of overweight were observed in all socio-demographic groups of men and decreasing trends in the youngest age group and high-educated women. Positive changes in BMI were associated with improvement in food habits and physical activity level.
