Ayurveda is an ancient medical science which main aim is to maintain the health of a healthy person and cure diseases from its root. Ayurved is based on Saptapadartha, where dravya is one of them. Ancient Acharyas classified the Ayurveda into eight branches, collectively known as “Ashtang Ayurveda”. Dravyaguna Shastra is an important branch of chikitsa shastra. This deals with the guna (properties), karma (action), and Prayoganum (therapeutic uses of dravya). In Ayurveda “Ekal dravya” chikitsa having more importance. In some context, a single drug (Ekal Dravya) is used for one disease or more than one disease. Agrya Aushadhi Dravya is the most potent drug for that particular disease. Agrya Aushadhi Dravya is cost-effective economical, easy to use, and safe. This article highlighting the Agrya Aushadhi dravya mentioned in a charak samhita which acting on different body systems.

Severity Of The Disease

The major risk associated with low platelet count in pregnancy is the increased risk of bleeding during the childbirth or post that. There is an increased blood supply to the uterus during pregnancy and the surgical procedure requires cutting of major blood vessels. Women with thrombocytopenia are at increased risk of losing excessive blood. The risk is more in case of caesarean delivery as compared to vaginal delivery. Hence based on above findings the present study was planned for Assessment of the Platelet Count in the Pregnant Women in IGIMS, Patna, Bihar. The present study was planned in Department of Pathology, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Science, Patna, Bihar, India. The present study was planned from duration of January 2019 to June 2019. In the present study 200 pregnant females samples received for the platelet estimation were enrolled in the present study. Clinically platelet indices can be a useful screening test for early identification of preeclampsia and eclampsia. Also platelet indices can assess the prognosis of this disease in pregnant women and can be used as an effective prognostic marker because it correlates with severity of the disease. Platelet count is a simple, low cost, and rapid routine screening test. Hence the data generated from the present study concludes that platelet count can be used as a simple and cost effective tool to monitor the progression of preeclampsia, thereby preventing complications to develop during the gestational period.

Introduction: Detection of dengue virus infection as soon as possible is critical for management of dengue virus infected patients. Immuno-chromatographic (ICT) tests are easy, cost effective method for dengue virus antigen detection.The sensitivity and specificity of ICT should compare with a gold standard test like RT-PCR. Aim of this study was to compare two test methods (ICT and RT-PCR), observe dengue serotype and seasonal impact on dengue infection.Methodology & result: The patients of Ibn Sina Medical College Hospital from October 2015 to October 2017 were tested for dengue NS1 antigen by ICT method. Out of 3201 sample tested 32.39% were found positive and 89 of which were re-tested for RT-PCR for comparison. Eighty eight of 89 NS1 positive cases showed positive by RT-PCR method giving an accuracy of 98.87%. Among the RT-PCR positive cases 45 were further analyzed for serotype. DEN-1, DEN-2 or both DEN- 1 and DEN-2 were found in 21, 23 and 1cases respectively. No cases of DEN-3 or DEN-4 were detected.Conclusion: This study showed that easily available and cost effective dengue NS1 antigen detection method (ICT) is as effective as molecular test (RT-PCR). DEN-1 and DEN-2 serotype were prevalent during last few years in Bangladesh. Continuous monitoring of dengue virus serotype is important for prevention and control of sudden epidemic by other serotype. Alert to be more during post monsoon when the peak of dengue virus infection was observed.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(4) 2018 p.669-673

Purpose Ultrasound is a well-established technology in medical science, though many of the conventional measurement systems (hydrophones and radiation force balances [RFBs]) often lack accuracy and tend to be expensive. This is a significant problem where sensors must be considered to be “disposable” because they inevitably come into contact with biological fluids and expense increases dramatically in cases where a large number of sensors in array form are required. This is inevitably the case where ultrasound is to be used for the in vitro growth stimulation of a large plurality of biological samples in tissue engineering. Traditionally only a single excitation frequency is used (typically 1.5 MHz), but future research demands a larger choice of wavelengths for which a single broadband measurement transducer is desirable. Furthermore, because of implementation conditions there can also be large discrepancies between measurements. The purpose of this paper deals with a very cost-effective alternative to expensive RFBs and hydrophones. Design/methodology/approach Utilization of cost-effective piezoelectric elements as broadband sensors. Findings Very effective results with equivalent (if not better) accuracy than expensive alternatives. Originality/value This paper concentrates on how very cost-effective piezoelectric ultrasound transducers can be implemented as sensors for ultrasound power measurements with accuracy as good, if not better than those achievable using radiation force balances or hydrophones.

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) by fungi is emerging as an important branch of nanotechnology due to its ecofriendly, safe, and cost-effective nature. In order to increase the yield of biosynthesized SNPs of desired shape and size, it is necessary to control the cultural and physical parameters during the synthesis. We report optimum synthesis of SNPs on malt extract glucose yeast extract peptone (MGYP) medium at pH 9–11, 40–60°C, and 190.7 Lux and in sun light. The salt concentrations, volume of filtrate and biomass quantity were found to be directly proportional to the yield. The optimized conditions for the stable and rapid synthesis will help in large scale synthesis of monodispersed SNPs. The main aim of the present study was to optimize different media, temperature, pH, light intensity, salt concentration, volume of filtrate, and biomass quantity for the synthesis of SNPs byFusarium oxysporum.

Immense Potential

The concept of Immunity is mentioned as ‘Vyadhikshamatwa’ in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda numbers of medicinal herbs are described under immunity-enhancing drugs category. The concept of immunity enhancer is explained under the category of Rasayan chikitsa in Ayurveda. These herbs are used in various diseases, especially by modulating the immune system. These herbs are called as Rasayan Dravyas. Ayurveda medical science comprises the herbs which are Rasayana and also which are non-Rasayana in nature. In Samhitas entirely enriched with enormous data of Rasayana medicinal herbs acting as immune modulators. The data of available Samhitas and researches show that these Rasayana herbs have immense potential as immune modulators. Advanced researches have proven that drugs like Guduchi, Haritaki, Ashwagandha, Brahmi, Jyotishmati act as a good immune enhancer. Theses herbs are mentioned in Ayurveda as Rasayana drugs. Experimental studies also have proven the role of Rasayana drugs as antioxidant, adoptogenic and having anti-stress activities. These Rasayana drugs as having immunity enhancer protect the health of a healthy person and protects them from any type of diseased condition. Charakacharya had mentioned Rasayanchikitsa adhyay as the first addhya of their chikitsasthan considering his aim as ‘Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam’. This means to protect the health of a healthy person as in priority by using immunity enhancer drugs as Rasayanas. This review article empowers such reviewed data on Rasayan medicinal herbs as a promising future target for immunotherapy.

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma and affects over 200 million people worldwide. The control and treatment of this neglected tropical disease is based on a single drug, praziquantel, which raises concerns about the development of drug resistance. This, and the lack of efficacy of praziquantel against juvenile worms, highlights the urgency for new antischistosomal therapies. In this review we focus on innovative approaches to the identification of antischistosomal drug candidates, including the use of automated assays, fragment-based screening, computer-aided and artificial intelligence-based computational methods. We highlight the current developments that may contribute to optimizing research outputs and lead to more effective drugs for this highly prevalent disease, in a more cost-effective drug discovery endeavor.

Vicharchika is described under Kshudra Kustha by most of the Acharya’s. Kashyapa described Vicharchika in Sadhya Kustha. In ancient time also skin diseases were very common. Acharya’s described skin diseases and their treatment in detail. In present era also, skin diseases are very common in all age group, especially paediatric age group. One among them is eczema. Eczema is most common chronic re-lapsing skin disease seen in infancy and childhood. Despite of great advance in dermatology and the ad-vent of higher potency antibiotics, antifungal as well as steroids, Eczema continues to defy the best effect of dermatologists. Drug (Dravya) is one among the Chikitsa Catuspada and is having the next place after the physician. Medication is considered as Karana (means) for producing Dhatusamya and defined as “Anything which is utilized by the physician for restoring the equilibrium of body elements”. Anything be-sides the source of action, endeavour, place and time which sub serves the same purpose, is also medica-tion. Management of Vicharchika includes Shodhana, Shamana and Bahirparimarjana Chikitsa among them Shamana in the form of khalvi Rasayana & Bahirparimarjana Chikitsa as Lepa has shown apprecia-ble result in many previous researches. So, need of time is to go for cost effective, safe and efficient treat-ment of Vicharchika. Although, there are many drugs available in modern medical science for the treat-ment of eczema which is found to be effective but is unsatisfactory for long term prophylaxis, so there is need of the hour to look into the safe, efficient & satisfactory remedy which not only treat the above ail-ments, but also ensure reduction in the episodes of relapse of the disease. Keeping all the above points in mind Gandhaka Kalpa & Pathyadi lepa has been selected to know its efficacy in treating Vicharchika. Gandhaka Kalpa & Pathyadi lepa consists of 9 drugs with different properties which includes Gandhaka, Amalaki, Haritaki, karanja, Siddhartha, Haridra, Bakuchi, SaindhavaLavana, Vidanga.

Abstract: Telemedicine is a young science that integrates innovations of information-technology and telecommunications into medical science. A successful telemedicine procedure should guarantee reduced workload of the healthcare system with well secured and cost-effective processes. Our goal was to collect the development phases of telemedicine projects through existing telecardiology solutions. Subsequent to reviewing international publications we analyzed the past and present situation of blood pressure monitoring, remote diagnostics of electrocardiography, implantable cardioverter defibrillator monitoring and pocket ultrasound devices. In case of new solutions (a) several internationally accepted, confidently reproducible “good practices” are needed for creating (b) guidelines and recommendations of international medical associations. They have to ensure (c) cost-effective work, with well-designed sustainability and (d) patient confidentiality. Improving (e) education for professionals and patients is essential. We recommend to telemedicine developers to use our standards in order to introduce their products more effectively into clinical practice. It is encouraging that current possibilities of telecardiology partly or fully meet the aforementioned criteria. Further development of the topic can contribute to financial sustainability of our healthcare and might be able to resolve limitations of human resources. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(44): 1741–1746.
