Among different variety of Kustha, Shwitra is considered as one of them in the Ayurvedic classics which occur due to vitiation of Tridoshas and Dhatus like Rakta, Mamsa and Meda. Shwitra can be correlated with vitiligo or leucoderma, where it manifest as white patch on the skin due to partial or complete loss of skin pigmentation and causes cosmetic imbalance of the body. Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease and it may be associated with other autoimmune diseases such as pernicious anaemia, addison disease and diabetes mellitus results in destruction of melanocytes thus causing depigmentation.

Introduction, Autoimmune diseases are chronic conditions initiated by the loss of immunological tolerance to self-antigens. They constitute heterogeneous group of disorders, in which multiple alterations in the immune system result in a spectrum of syndromes that either target specific organs or affect the body systematically. Recent epidemiological studies have shown a possible shift of one autoimmune disease to another or the fact that more than one autoimmune disease may coexist in a single patient or in the same family. Numerous autoimmune diseases have been shown to coexist frequently with thyroid autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune thyroid disease and other organ specific non-endocrine autoimmune diseases. This part of the study reviews the prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disease coexisting with: pernicious anaemia, vitiligo, celiac disease, autoimmune liver disease, miastenia gravis, alopecia areata and sclerosis multiplex, and several recommendations for screening have been given. Autoimmune thyroid disease and other organ non-specific non-endocrine autoimmune diseases. Special attention is given to the correlation between autoimmune thyroid disease and rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, syndrome Sj?gren, systemic sclerosis and mixed connective tissue disease. Conclusions. Screening for autoimmune thyroid diseases should be recommended in everyday clinical practice, in patients with primary organ-specific or organ non-specific autoimmune disease. Other?wise, in patients with primary thyroid autoimmune disease, there is no good reason of seeking for all other autoimmune diseases, although these patients have a greater risk of developing other autoimmune disease. Economic aspects of medicine require further analyzing of these data, from cost/benefit point of view to justified either mandatory screening or medical practitioner judgment.

Abnormal immune response of the body against substances and tissues causes autoimmune diseases, such as polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Irregular lipid metabolism and inflammation may be a significant cause of autoimmune diseases. Although much progress has been made, mechanisms of initiation and proceeding of metabolic and inflammatory regulation in autoimmune disease have not been well-defined. And novel markers for the detection and therapy of autoimmune disease are urgent. mTOR signaling is a central regulator of extracellular metabolic and inflammatory processes, while DEP domain-containing mTOR-interacting protein (DEPTOR) is a natural inhibitor of mTOR. Here, we report that overexpression of DEPTOR reduces mTORC1 activity in lymphocytes of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Combination of DEPTOR overexpression and mTORC2/AKT inhibitors effectively inhibits lipogenesis and inflammation in lymphocytes of PBMC culture. Moreover, DEPTOR knockdown activates mTORC1 and increases lipogenesis and inflammations. Our findings provide a deep insight into the relationship between lipid metabolism and inflammations via DEPTOR-mTOR pathway and imply that DEPTOR-mTOR in lymphocytes of PBMC culture has the potential to be as biomarkers for the detection and therapies of autoimmune diseases.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a long-term disorder of the metabolism characterized by elevated levels of sugar in blood, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. Insulin is the main culprit for diabetes mellitus. Beta cells of the pancreatic islets are the producers of this peptide hormone which is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body regulating the carbohydrates, fats and protein metabolism by promoting the absorption of, especially, glucose from the blood into fat, liver and skeletal muscle cells. From this study, it seems that stem cell therapy can be a promising approach to manage the long term condition diabetes mellitus. The patients were administered stem cells derived from their bone marrows during the procedure. The levels of blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were decreased significantly post procedure in both the patients.

Diabetes Mellitus is a non-communicable disease and is an important public health problem. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body is ineffective in using it (WHO, 2016). One of the non-pharmacological management of diabetes mellitus is the administration of red dragon fruit. Dragon fruit is rich in antioxidants and contains many substances such as calcium, beta-carotene, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, phosphorus and flavonoid substances so that it can be used as a therapy to reduce blood glucose levels by preventing apoptosis due to oxidative reactions. The purpose of this case study is to compile a resume of nursing care in giving red dragon fruit to reduce blood glucose levels. This type of research is descriptive with a case study method in the form of a one group pretest posttest design. The subject of this study was 1 patient with diabetes mellitus. The results of the study showed that there was a change in the patient's condition after being given red dragon fruit for 10 days. Conclusion Dragon fruit has the effect of lowering blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus because it contains fiber that is able to bind water in the intestines, and contains antioxidants and bioactive compounds and is able to inhibit free radical compounds.

Present Case Study

Skin is the largest and protective organ of the body that comes in contact with the external world. The skin has many roles in the maintenance of life and health. Pathological Manifestations in the skin are caused by both external and internal factors. Nowadays skin diseases are more common due to improper lifestyles and habits. Urticaria is one among them. The present case study is about, a 30-year-old female patient, visited our hospital (KC OPD) with a chief complaint of itching, redness, and mild burning sensation all over the body for nine years. We diagnosed her with Kota. Kota is mentioned in Ayurveda as one among the Twak Vikara. Most of the Acharyas are explained Sheethapitha, Udarda and Kota under a single chapter because of almost similar symptomatology. The main symptoms of Kota are Mandala (elevated round), Kandu (itching), Raga(redness), Bahuni (number) and Sanubandatha (frequency of attack). In comparison to symptomatology, Urticaria is quite similar like Kota. In India, approximately 15-20% of the general population will have Urticaria once in their life. Chronic Urticaria is defined as urticaria persisting daily or almost daily for more than 6 weeks. Chronic autoimmune urticaria or chronic idiopathic urticaria has no discernable external cause. It can cause severe impairment on the quality of life. There is no complete treatment for this, but medicines and lifestyle changes can help the patient to feel better according to modern science. In Ayurveda it is a Sadhyavyadhi, Treatment adopted here are Vamana, Virechana, Siravyada followed by Patolakaturohinyadi kashayam, Nimbadi guggulu, Vilwadigulika, Manibadram Guda. This case study proves the Ayurvedic management in Urticaria is very effective with promising results. Keywords: Kota, Urticaria, Shodhana, Shamana Aushadhis
