Cornea is a transparent anterior one-sixth outer fibrous coat of the eye ball which is called Krishna mandala in Ayurveda, resembles a watch-glass in the wrist watch. The diseases of Cornea are due to damage to the Cornea by various causative factors that result in loss of transparency of the Cornea and progress into different stages of disease condition. These different stages of corneal diseases stand a major role in classification of corneal diseases in Ayurveda, i.e; Krishnagata Rogas. Out of total 76 eye diseases mentioned by Sushruta, he had enumerated Krishnagata Netra Roga as 4 in number. Vagbhata had enumerated total eye diseases as 94 among them 5 types of Krishnagata Netra Roga. A comprehensive literary study of assorted text books of Ancient Medicine in view of analogy between Allopathic corneal disorders and Ayurvedic Krishnagata Roga. The purpose of this comprehensive study is paralleling of corneal diseases in both the systems of medicine. The academic Ayurvedic manuscripts had ordered the corneal ailments in a serial and accelerating manner in which one condition will lead to next reciprocal stage of the disease. In a complimentary manner, an attentive effort has been executed to parallel the corneal ailments in both the Systems of Medicine. For the comparison of corneal disorders in both the systems of medicine, the clinical symptoms, advancement of disease, prognostic causes, and management have been considered.

The Comparative Study

Abstract: This research is a comparative literary study that uses Malay and Javanese versions of Mahabarata text sources. The research objects used were the text edition of Pandhawa Gubah (PG) by Sudibjo Z. Hadisutjipto and the text of Cheritera Pandawa Lima (CPL) by Khalid Hussain. The research method used is descriptive-analysis method. In the comparative study used a comparative literary theory proposed by Endraswara (2011). The results of the text comparison reveal the similarities and differences in the image of Bima figures in the Javanese and Malay versions. The equation as a whole is that both texts contain the same heroic storyline and heroic character, Bima. In addition, Indian influence is still evident in the two texts seen from the nuances of Hinduism that exist in both texts. While the difference is seen in the events that accompany Bima's struggle in achieving his victory. Based on these similarities and differences, it can be seen that the authors attempt to represent the concept of metaphysical interactions vertically and horizontally expressed through PG text. --- Abstrak: Penelitian ini adalah satu kajian sastra bandingan yang menggunakan sumber teks Mahabarata versi Melayu dan Jawa. Objek penelitian yang digunakan adalah edisi teks Pandhawa Gubah (PG) karya Sudibjo Z. Hadisutjipto dan teks Cheritera Pandawa Lima (CPL) karya Khalid Hussain. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif-analisis. Dalam telaah perbandingan digunakan teori sastra bandingan yang dikemukakan Endraswara (2011). Hasil perbandingan teks mengungkapkan adanya persamaan dan perbedaan citra tokoh Bima dalam versi Jawa maupun versi Melayu. Persamaan secara keseluruhan adalah kedua teks tersebut mengandung alur cerita kepahlawanan dan tokoh pahlawan yang sama yaitu Bima. Selain itu, pengaruh India masih tampak dalam kedua teks tersebut dilihat dari nuansa Hinduisme yang ada dalam kedua teks. Sementara perbedaannya tampak pada peristiwa-peristiwa yang menyertai perjuangan Bima dalam mencapai kemenangannya. Berdasarkan persamaan dan perbedaan tersebut tampak adanya upaya penulis untuk merepresentasikan konsep interaksi metafisik secara vertikal dan horizontal yang diungkapkan melalui teks PG.

ABSTRACT The morphological classification of radio sources is important to gain a full understanding of galaxy evolution processes and their relation with local environmental properties. Furthermore, the complex nature of the problem, its appeal for citizen scientists, and the large data rates generated by existing and upcoming radio telescopes combine to make the morphological classification of radio sources an ideal test case for the application of machine learning techniques. One approach that has shown great promise recently is convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Literature, however, lacks two major things when it comes to CNNs and radio galaxy morphological classification. First, a proper analysis of whether overfitting occurs when training CNNs to perform radio galaxy morphological classification using a small curated training set is needed. Secondly, a good comparative study regarding the practical applicability of the CNN architectures in literature is required. Both of these shortcomings are addressed in this paper. Multiple performance metrics are used for the latter comparative study, such as inference time, model complexity, computational complexity, and mean per class accuracy. As part of this study, we also investigate the effect that receptive field, stride length, and coverage have on recognition performance. For the sake of completeness, we also investigate the recognition performance gains that we can obtain by employing classification ensembles. A ranking system based upon recognition and computational performance is proposed. MCRGNet, Radio Galaxy Zoo, and ConvXpress (novel classifier) are the architectures that best balance computational requirements with recognition performance.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Takotsubo syndrome (TKS) is characterized by the appearance of apical reversible dyskinesia in its typical form. Electrocardiogram (ECG) in the acute phase (<12 from symptom onset) generally shows anterior ST segment elevation. Nonetheless, other atypical forms of TKS have been described depending on the location of the dyskinetic segments, such as, mid-ventricular, basal and focal forms. Considering the different segments involved in these atypical forms, it seems reasonable to consider that ST changes in acute phase ECG could be different. Purpose To compare ECG in the acute phase of typical TKS versus mid-ventricular TKS, as it was the more frequent form of atypical TKS in our registry. Methods Patients included in the prospective TKS registry of our center according to the Mayo Clinic diagnostic criteria, with the first ECG performed less than 12 hours from the symptoms onset were reviewed. All cardiac left ventriculographies were reviewed to ensure a correct classification of the different types of TKS. Results A total of 297 patients were included in our local registry. 80 patients met our study inclusion criteria. 56 ECGs of typical apical TKS were compared to 24 ECGs of atypical midventricular TKS. There were no differences between the baseline characteristics in both groups, except for mid-ventricular TKS, that was more frequently triggered by physical stressor. Regarding the ECG analysis, the main difference found in our serie was related to ST-segment deviation (Table 1). While ST-segment elevation was more common in typical TKS than in atypical TKS (73% vs 50%), ST-segment depression (generally in inferior leads) was observed in 54% of patients with atypical TKS and in no patient with typical TKS (figure 1). Conclusion The different location of dyskinesia between typical TKS and mid-ventricular TKS is associated to significant differences in the ECG obtained in the first hours after the onset of the clinical symptoms. The presence of ST-segment depression is highly suggestive of mid-ventricular TKS.

Background: Water buffaloes are important milch species of tropical and subtropical countries. In general, they are considered to more resistant to diseases compared to crossbred cattle. However, a recent problem of tick-borne diseases in the water buffaloes by the field veterinarians and farmers causing production losses was observed. The study was conducted to explore the spectrum of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) infections in buffaloes and analyze the associated risk factors. Methods: Acute-phase response, cytokine and oxidative stress in infected buffaloes with TBDs were evaluated and compared with the negative buffaloes (control) to elucidate their role in pathogenesis and outcome of infection. The study was undertaken in 107 tick-infested water buffaloes. The conventional Giemsa stained blood smear (GSBS) based confirmation and classification of infection of haemo-parasites were made. The statistical model was used to understand their relevance with TBDs. Conclusion: Tick-borne disease in water buffaloes must be looked upon seriously to maintain good productivity. The buffaloes are often accompanied by low and un-yielding clinical symptoms due to associated co-infections of haemo-parasites. Our study showed that the buffaloes had a high prevalence (47.66%) of haemo-parasites transmitted by the ticks associated with co-infections and a low level of parasitemia. Most buffaloes responded symptomatically with the different modalities administered. Production parameter was not restored post 15 days of treatment. Oxidative stress is one of the important mechanisms of production losses in infected buffaloes.

Diabetes mellitus is becoming the fastest considerable disease in the world. India has been estimated with the fast- est-growing population of Diabetics. According to International Diabetic Federation (IDF), the total number of Diabetic subjects will be around 151 million in India by 2045. The clinical entity of Prameha can be correlated with Diabetes Mellitus. It is considered a Lifestyle disorder, the food, drinks and sedentary habits are having a great influence on this disorder. In Ayurveda classics elaborately mentioned the Nidana (causative factors) and Pathya ahara (wholesome food & drinks) and Apathya ahara (unwholesome food & drinks), Pathya Vihara (Conducive lifestyle) and Apathya Vihara (Non-Conducive lifestyle) of Prameha. The classification of Prameha as per Susruta Samhita as Apathya nimittaja Prameha and Beeja doshaja Prameha indicates the importance of Ahara and Vihara in prevention as well as management of this disease. In this article, a sincere attempt has been made to incorporate the principles of Ayurveda and Modern medical science with a scientific explanation regarding Pathya (Diet) and Vihara (lifestyle) in Prameha (Diabetes Mellitus). Keywords: Pathya, Apathya, Prameha, Ahara, Vihara.
