Interstitial Lung Diseases(ILD) are a group of diffuse parenchymal lung disorders, most of which cause progressive scarring of lung tissue associated with substantial morbidity and mortality as the scarring in ILD eventually affects the ability to breathe and get enough oxygen into the blood- stream. Prolonged ILD may result in pulmonary fibrosis. As there is no definite treatment for the disease, it has remained a great problem for the patients. Several conventional treatment modalities are in existence but not much comprehensive. Though the permanent cure for the disease is not available but Ayurveda can provide cost-effective and conveniently the better treatment which relieves the symptoms to a good extent and improves the quality of life of the diseased. In this article, a case study presented on a case of ILD. A 63 years old female, diagnosed case of ILD, attended Kayachikita OPD , with chief complaint of breathlessness since 2018 but severe from 1 month. Patient got admitted in IPD and treated on the Ayurvedic principles. At the time of discharge, symptomatic relief was found in breathlessness, effectiveness in FEV1( Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 sec)and also maitained saturation , but no significant changes in X-Ray Chest was observed after treatment.

Abstract Wastewaters from chemical industries usually contain pollutants which are toxic and non-biodegradable. Treatment of chemical wastewaters is always a challenging topic in view of the stringent environmental regulations that have to be adhered to. Since 2014, the Chinese government has been continuously tightening the industrial wastewater (IWW) discharge standards, which requires improved quality of IWW effluent. This poses great challenges to the chemical industries in China, especially to many of the chemical industry clusters where the wastewaters usually contain more toxic and non-biodegradable contaminants. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology has been proved to be a reliable and cost-effective solution for the treatment of IWW. However, MBR alone could not effectively remove non-biodegradable organics, it needs to be integrated with advanced oxidization process and/or other physical-chemical treatment processes to improve the overall treatment efficiency. In this paper, studies on the performance of different integrated MBR processes in Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant-A (IWTP-A) will be discussed, including Fenton + MBR, MBR + ozonation + biological aerated filter, and MBR + porous resin sorption.

Refractory ascites causes significant distress to patients and can be managed in various ways. In hospice patients where the goal of care is to preserve comfort and foster better quality of life, diuretics should be tried first; however, in resistant cases, home-based paracentesis should be entertained. Home-based paracentesis is a safe and simple procedure that can be done blindly, if done under standard precautions there is minimal associated risk of bleeding, infection or perforation and no need for pre or post-laboratory testing or the correction of high international normalization ratio or thrombocytopenia. Home-based paracentesis is cost effective, provides immediate symptomatic relief, good patient and caregiver satisfaction and obviates the associated distress to the patient and family of transporting the patient for either outpatient or inpatient paracentesis.

Wilson disease is a rare, inherited autosomal recessive disease of copper metabolism. Loss of ATP7B func-tion leads various grades of reduced biliary excretion of copper accumulation and toxicity of copper in the liver, brain and other tissues results in liver toxicity and other myriad manifestations of the disease. In clas-sics there is no exact description of the disease entity which exactly matches the feature of Wilson disease, but it can be correlated with Sahaja Vyadhi or Janamjata Vyadhi. A 16-year-old female child diagnosed with Wilson disease complaints of improper gait, altered speech, chronic constipation and altered mental level etc. Investigation shows S. Ceruloplasmin- 0.4mg/dl, S. copper- within normal limit, slit lamp study for KF ring was positive. This patient was treated with Ayurvedic procedures i.e. Abhyanga, Swedana, Bas-ti and Nasya along with oral medication. After two treatment protocol patient got symptomatic relief in clin-ical features. So, it can be concluded that quality of life (QOL) of patients with chronic disease can be im-proved with the help of internal Ayurvedic medication along with Panchkarma procedure.

AbstractWorldwide buildings are responsible for about 40% of the overall consumption and contribute to an average of 30% percent of the global carbon emissions. Nevertheless, most current buildings lack efficient energy management systems because such solutions are very expensive, especially when necessary instrumentation needs to be installed after the building’s construction. As an alternative, we purpose the use of IoT sensor networks to retrofit existing medium and large-sized buildings to provide energy management capabilities in a cost-effective way. An IoT network auto-configuration platform for building energy management was developed. In order to efficiently manage metadata related to location and devices, a database using dynamic QR codes was created. Furthermore, we discuss the potential and shortcomings of different sensor-gateway pairing strategies that are applicable to an auto-configuring system. Lastly, we share our implementation of these concepts and demonstrate their use in a medium-sized building case study. The results show a trade-off between optimal configuration and total configuration time with a focus on the quality of the communication signal strength. The proposal provided the necessary automation for a cost-effective energy management system that can be deployed in both new constructions and existing buildings.

Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare autoimmune neurological disease that causes progressive, fluctuating, painful muscle rigidity and spasms, generally beginning in the axial muscles, truncal region, and progressing to proximal musculature. A hyperlordotic posture is considered an early clinical hallmark of the condition. The most common pathological correlate is with anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 65 antibodies, but several other associated antibodies have been identified There is a clinical spectrum of disease with variants including stiff leg syndrome, progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM), and a paraneoplastic variant, often associated with anti-amphiphysin antibodies. Electromyographic findings reveal continuous motor activity. Treatment modalities for SPS focus primarily on symptomatic relief to improve quality of life. Gamma amino butyric acid (GABA)ergic agonists, including benzodiazepines, such as diazepam and baclofen, are first-line therapies for muscle rigidity and spasms. Immunotherapies such as corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), plasmapheresis, and rituximab have demonstrated benefit, As symptoms can be provoked by anxiety and emotional stressors, psychological support with cognitive behavioral therapy should be considered.

Abstract. The identification of priority management areas (PMAs) is essential for the control of non-point-source (NPS) pollution, especially for a large-scale watershed. However, previous studies have typically focused on small-scale catchments adjacent to specific assessment points; thus, the interactions between multiple river points remain poorly understood. In this study, a multiple-assessment-point PMA (MAP-PMA) framework was proposed by integrating the upstream sources and the downstream transport aspects of NPS pollution. Daning River watershed was taken as a case study in this paper, which has demonstrated that the integration of the upstream input changes was vital for the final PMAs map, especially for downstream areas. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this research recommended that the NPS pollutants could be best controlled among the upstream high-level PMAs when protecting the water quality of the entire watershed. The MAP-PMA framework provided a more cost-effective tool for the establishment of conservation practices, especially for a large-scale watershed.
