The Amlapitta is one of the most common disease of Annavaha Srotas which bears the direct impact of the dietic errors that a person indulges. Amlapitta Vyadhi is complex of symptoms correlated with acid peptic disease/gastritis/hyperacidity described in modern medicine science.Many new drugs are available like antacids, proton pump inhibiters,H2 blockers, in modern medicine system but all they provides symptomatic relief  instead of complete cure of disease and they also  have adverse effects.The case of Amlapitta was treated with Vamana (Therapeutic emesis) therapy, as indicated in Kashyap Samhita. A 53 years old female patient presented with complaints of Chardi(Vomiting), Hritkanthadaha(burning sensation in chest and throat), Tikta-Amlodgara(Acid eruction with bitter and sour taste and Hrullas( Nausea) since 1 year.Dadimashtak Churna for Deepan, Pachana.Panchatikta ghrit  for internal oleation was used .External oleation and sudation  was  done with Nirgundi oil .Vamana dravya madanphal phant while Yashtimadhu Kwatha was used for Aakanthapan as Vamanopaga dravya.On the follow up day it was seen that patient got complete relief from Chardi, Hritkanthadaha while significant improvement was seen in Hrullas and Tikta-Amlodgara  and there was no recurrence of disease  seen . Thus Vamana therapy is effective in patient of Urdhwaga Amlapitta.The Amlapitta is one of the most common disease of Annavaha Srotas which bears the direct impact of the dietic errors that a person indulges.

Objectives: To identify whether combination therapy with mucolytics and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) leads to faster and more effective symptomatic relief in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Methods: Patients diagnosed as LPR with a reflux symptom index (RSI) ≥ 13 and a reflux finding score (RFS) ≥ 7 were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients were randomly allocated to control (PPI only) or experimental (PPI + mucolytics) groups and changes in RSI and RFS values were assessed at 1- and 3-month follow-up. Results: One hundred sixteen patients were randomly allocated into either the control group ( n = 59) or the experimental group ( n = 57). The RSI and RFS scores significantly decreased in both groups (all P < .001) after 1 month of treatment; however, there was no significant difference in RSI change between groups ( P = .223). After 3 months of treatment, there remained no significant difference in RSI change between groups ( P = .592). Conclusions: Combination therapy with mucolytics and PPI compared to PPI alone did not lead to faster or more effective symptomatic relief in LPR patients.

Ashmari is one among the eight most difficult to cure diseases (Ashtamahagada) described in Ayurveda classical texts. The symptomatology of Ashmari resembles the clinical features of Urolithiasis mentioned in the contemporary medical science. Urolithiasis is third most common disease of the urinary tract. Conventional management of Urolithiasis does not have any effect on the pathogenesis of this disease and therefore, recurrence of disease occurs very commonly. Ayurveda has more radical approach and wide range of options in the management of urolithiasis. A 23-year old Indian male student presented with the complaints of pain in right side of abdomen, burning and difficulty in micturition since last 15 days. Per abdomen examination elicited tenderness on right lumbar region of abdomen and around right renal angle. No other abnormality detected during general and systemic examination. Ultrasonography (whole abdomen) revealed multiple right renal calculi (largest being 6.9 mm). On Ayurvedic parlance, the present case was diagnosed as Ashmari based on the signs and symptoms. Patient was prescribed the Ayurvedic medicines, Gokshuradi Gugguluand Varunadi Kashaya on OPD basis. Patient was advised to follow-up initially after 07 days and later after every fortnight. Improvement in clinical features was there within 07 days. Patient showed complete relief in his complaints on third follow-up visit. Repeat Ultrasonography scan did not revealed any renal calculus. Clinically also, Gokshuradi guggulu and Varunadi Kashaya has provided complete relief in pain, burning micturition and dysuria. It can be concluded that Gokshuradi guggulu and Varunadi Kashayamay lead to disintegration and expulsion of calculi and thus provide relief in signs and symptoms of Ashmari. This case illustrates the effective conservative management of Ashmari with Ayurvedic medicines with no adverse events and no episode of recurrence even after one year.

In a first of its kind, a 20 year old Hindu, highlander, working girl presented with abnormal behavior, unrelenting symptoms, had limited benefit by usual treatment and was diagnosed as Possession syndrome. Exorcism offered symptomatic relief. The girl resumed normal activities with no recurrence in a 12 month follow up. Possession syndrome is explained in both medical and theological perspectives. Modern medicine associates it with a mental illness though True Possession syndrome without associated mental illness has been reported. Theological perspective can be amalgamated with current scientific theory and practice, thereby complimenting existing concepts.

Bacterial Porins

The lack of new drugs for Gram-negative pathogens is a global threat to modern medicine. The complexity of their cell envelope, with an additional outer membrane, hinders internal accumulation and thus, the access of molecules to targets. Our limited understanding of the molecular basis for compound influx and efflux from these pathogens is a major bottleneck for the discovery of effective antibacterial compounds. Here we analyse the correlation between the whole-cell compound accumulation of ~200 molecules and their predicted porin permeability coefficient (influx), using a recently developed scoring function. We found a strong linear relationship (75%) between the two, confirming porins key role in compound penetration. Further, the remarkable prediction ability of the scoring function demonstrates its potentiality to guide the optimization of hits to leads as well as the possibility of screening ultra-large virtual libraries. Eventually, the analysis of false positives, molecules with high-predicted influx but low accumulation, provides new hints on the molecular properties behind efflux.<br>

Background: Anal fissure (AF) is a common disease associated with severe pain and reduced quality of life. Factors related to lifestyle, including diet and bowel habits, play a pivotal role in its pathogenesis. Most of the chronic fissures are not responsive to drugs and more likely to recur. Given the significance of diet in Persian medicine (PM), investigation on physiopathology and appropriate foods can be useful for decreases in AF symptoms and consequences. Objective: This study was intended to evaluate the role of diet in the formation and progression of AF from the perspective of PM. Methods: In this study, the most important resources of PM dating back to thousands of years were reviewed. All these textbooks contained a section on AF, its causes, and treatment. Further analysis was performed on these resources in comparison with databank and resources of modern medicine to develop a food-based strategy for AF management. Results: From the view of PM, the warmth and dryness of anus temperament accounted for AF. Both Persian and modern medicine identified constipation as another cause for AF. Therefore, avoidance from some foods and commercial baked goods was recommended. Both Persian and modern medicine forbad the following foods: potato, cabbage, cauliflower, pasta, beef, fish, and so forth. High fiber and oligo-antigen diets with some limitations have garnered more attention. Conclusion: An integrative approach is recommended employing both Persian and modern medicine for AF. There have been some evidence in this regard, however standardized clinical trials are required for future research.

Nowadays Pilonidal Sinus (PNS) is becoming common disease in between 20-30 years of age, in men and mostly dense hairy persons. Commonly it occurs midline over the coccyx. It results in purulent discharge, pain and discomfort. In Ayurvedic practice, there are many surgeons who are practicing classical Ksharasutra management to treat PNS, which is very effective but there are some problems using classical Ksharasutra in the management of PNS, such as discomfort, burning sensation, itching and irritation due to Snuhi-ksheera. So to overcome these problems Guggulu Apamarga Ksharasutra has been used, which is very effective in curing PNS and has no complications. So patients can do their daily routine work without any pain or discomfort.

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that results from reduced tear production or excessive tear evaporation or an abnormality in the production of mucus or lipids normally found in the tear layer or combination of these. If blinking is decreased or if the eyelids cannot be closed, they may dry out leading to dry eye. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation on the surface of the eye may occur of left untreated leading to pain, ulcers or scars on the cornea and loss of vision. Prevalence of dry eye range from 5% to 35% worldwide while in India it is 29.25%. Tear substitute are the only treatment modality with modern medicine, only providing symptomatic relief. Ayurveda describes similar condition called Sushkakshi Paka and this patient was treated with Tarpana and Nasya with Jeevantyadi Ghrita.

AbstractGastric ulcer or peptic ulcer is a common disease worldwide. Basically, it develops when there is an imbalance between the protective and aggressive factors, especially at the luminal surface of epithelial cells. Thus, there is a constant interest in research new drugs for treatment of gastric ulcer. The snail secretion is a dense mucous, that covers the external surface of the snails, with important functions for the survival of snails. The biological proprieties of snail Helix Aspersa Muller mucus it has been known for centuries to treat human disorders in particular for skin disease. Recently the use of snail mucus has seen a worldwide increase, as a component in cosmetic product and it has been used in particular for the management of wound and skin disorders. In this study we use a murine model of ethanol intragastric administration which has been widely used to test the drugs efficacies and to explore the underlying mechanism for gastric ulcer development. The intragastric ethanol administration causes several mucosal damages and an induction of a severe inflammatory response. Our results show a significant protective effect of snail secretion filtrate in reducing macroscopic and histological lesions, as well the protective effect on mucus content, oxidative stress and inflammatory response. In conclusion this study demonstrate the protective effect of intragastrical snail secretion filtrate, in a model of ethanol-induced gastric ulcer in mice, suggesting its possible useful use in the treatment or prevention of gastric ulcer.
