The covid-19 Pandemic in India is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome Corona virus 2 .  The disease originates through bats and spread from unknown mediums to People. Ideally, the condition is spread by Inhalation or close contact with the infected patient’s Droplets. Incubation Periods in between 2 and 14 days there are so many infections and Death that have been caused by the disease. The symptoms of the disease include fever, cough, sneezing, sore throat, difficulty in breathing, generalized weakness. The diagnosis of the disease depends upon multiple symptoms of the upper and lower respiratory tract. Based on the available evidence, various clinical guidelines for the management of COVID-19 have been formulated. Ayurveda has documented the first reference of epidemics as Janapadodhwamsa and has given a scientific insight into its causes, effect, and prevention along with management strategies. This article intends to compile and summarise guidelines from esteemed organizations along with their implication in the Indian ethical scenario and offers an easy tool for clinicians managing pregnant women in times of COVID-19. The clinical profile of COVID-19 matches with Vata-Kapha dominant Sannipataja Jwara for which detailed treatment guidelines and an array of pharmaceutical preparations are described in Ayurvedic literature which are being practiced by qualified Ayurvedic physicians effectively for long. This highlights the Ayurvedic perspective of the COVID-19 along with its prevention, prophylaxis and management strategies through Ayurveda

COVID-19 pandemic which has spread to 216 countries in eight months resulted in 7.50 lakh deaths across the globe. SARS CoV-2, highly infectious causative agent of this disease is transmitted through droplets, contact routes and aerosols. Even the most developed nations are experiencing difficulty to limit its spread and the disease is still spreading at an alarming rate. For filling the gaps and lacunas in the healthcare system this is high time to integrate different healthcare systems available to meet the ever emerging health challenges. Ayurveda has documented the first reference of epidemics as Janapadodhwamsa and has given a scientific insight to its causes, effect and prevention along with management strategies. No established and approved treatment of COVID-19 is yet available and off label drugs are being tried for prophylaxis and therapeutic purpose. Variation in host susceptibility and outcomes has been observed and host factors are being explored along with fast track vaccine development. Ayurveda treatment always take into account the host factors to alleviate the disease by improving the Agni and providing nutrition and strength to the host by means of Rasayana, Panchakarma, lifestyle measures and using drugs of varied origin. The clinical profile of COVID-19 matches with Vata-Kapha dominant Sannipataja Jwara for which detailed treatment guidelines and array of pharmaceutical preparations are described in Ayurvedic literature which are being practiced by qualified Ayurvedic physicians effectively since long.

The world community is facing an unprecedented pandemic of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV- 2). SARS CoV-2, a highly infectious causative agent of this disease is transmitted through droplets, contact routes and aerosols. Even the most developed nations are having trouble limiting its spread and the disease is still spreading at an alarming rate. For filling the gaps and lacunas in the healthcare system this is high time to integrate different healthcare systems available to meet the ever-emerging health challenges. Despite worldwide efforts to contain it, the pandemic is continuing to spread for want of a clinically proven prophylaxis and therapeutic strategy. Even though no system of medicine has any evi- dence-based treatment for COVID-19 yet, clinical interventions are required to be put in place. Ayurveda has documented the first reference of epidemics as Janapadodhwamsa (“Jana” means “people” whereas the word “Pada” means “place of habitation” of Jana, any disease or conditions like natural calamities or disasters affected a Janpad, it was called Janpandodhwansa) and has given a scientific insight into its causes, effect, and prevention along with management strategies. The clinical profile of COVID-19 matches with Vata-Kapha dominant Sannipataja Jwara (Fever caused by Tridoshas) for which detailed treatment guidelines and an array of pharma- ceutical preparations are described in Ayurvedic literature which is being practised by qualified Ayurvedic physi- cians effectively for a long. This paper highlights the Ayurvedic perspective of the COVID-19 along with its aeti- ology, prevention, prophylaxis, and management strategies through Ayurveda.

Insight Into

Fatigue is a common, secondary symptom of endometriosis that has not been qualitatively explored. We conducted individual, face-to-face interviews with 25 women in South Africa about their experiences of endometriosis-related fatigue. Participants were recruited at a public hospital in Cape Town and through several South African endometriosis organizations. Interviews were conducted in English and Afrikaans and ranged from 30 min to 1 hr 16 min in duration. All interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. We found that both the experience of fatigue and fatigue-management strategies were highly personalized. Participants reported using a variety of cognitive strategies, such as planning, pacing, and pushing through their fatigue to reduce the levels of fatigue. Participants also employed physical strategies such as rest, dietary changes, using supplements, and exercise. We found that while participants often tried fatigue-management strategies suggested to them by others, they struggled to maintain these strategies even when they were successful. There are currently no interventions aimed at reducing endometriosis-related fatigue. The findings of this study provide insight into the management of fatigue in women with endometriosis and may be used to develop a psychosocial intervention for fatigue among women with the disease.

A thyroid storm (or thyroid crisis) is an emergency in endocrinology. It is a form of complication of hyperthyroidism that can be life-threatening. Inadequate control of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy could develop into thyroid storm, especially in the peripartum period. We present a woman came in the second stage of labour, with thyroid storm, superimposed pre-eclampsia, acute lung oedema and impending respiratory failure. Treatment for thyroid storm, pre-eclampsia protocol and corticosteroid was delivered. The baby was born uneventfully, while the mother was discharged after 5 days of hospitalisation. Delivery is an important precipitant in the development of thyroid storm in uncontrolled hyperthyroidism in pregnancy. Although very rare, it can cause severe consequences. Diagnosis and treatment guidelines for thyroid storm were available and should be done aggressively and immediately. Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism should be prevented by adequate control in thyroid hormone levels, especially before the peripartum period.

Abstract The goal of this review is to assess the current treatment and outcomes of special clinical situations in patients with myeloproliferative disease (MPD) such as pregnancy, major thrombotic and bleeding complications and surgical interventions. However, only a limited literature to support optimal management strategies is available. Many of the proposed strategies are the results of common sense or derive from the extrapolation of data from other studies not specifically designed to solve these problems. Therefore, practical recommendations to guide clinical decisions in these settings still remain largely empirical.

 Background: Skilled care before, during and after delivery can save the lives of women and newborns. Antenatal care is useful for detecting problems in pregnancy and childbirth, as well as preparing for labor. It is estimated that labor will begin 2-3 weeks after the entry of the fetal head on pelvic inlet. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of descending of the fetal head at the pelvic inlet in the primigravida of 34-36 weeks of gestation. Methods: This study uses a systematic review study method with the data used are the results of research that have been circulating in the world. Results: In Weekes and Flynn's (1975) study, the entry of the fetal head into the pelvic cavity and having passed the pelvic inlet with a sample of 422 primigravidas, the prevalence was 34 weeks (2%), 35 weeks (1%). Of the three studies analyzed at 36 weeks' gestation, a prevalence was 4.22%.

Insight Into

Intracranial tumors reflect a broad range of benign and malignant processes that are often managed by neurosurgeons and medical oncologists. Patients presenting with new brain tumors will undergo biopsies or resection for tissue diagnosis and resolution of neurological symptoms. These patients have significant perioperative risk factors that must be addressed to ensure the best possible outcomes. Hospitalists play a pivotal role in identifying these risk factors and offering management strategies prior to the development of an operative plan. This chapter provides insight into the range of preoperative considerations and postoperative complications that a hospitalist may face when managing brain tumor patients.
