A Complex Condition; Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A Review of its Recent Advanced Treatment

Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting women worldwide. It refers to a condition that often has ‘poly’ liquid containing sacks around ovaries. It affects reproductive-aged females, giving rise to menstrual and related reproductive issues. PCOS is marked by hormonal imbalance, often resulting in hyperandrogenism. Women with PCOS might experience abnormal insulin activity and complications such as acne, mood swings, hirsutism, obesity, and infertility. The disease is linked with severe clinical ailments such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and cancer. A faulty lifestyle, neuroendocrine factors, genetic causes, and androgen exposures often cause PCOS. The approach of society towards physiological problems such as PCOS in women is that it must be under the veil that is the ultimate barrier to the early diagnosis of PCOS. Thus, this review summarizes the causes, symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and possible treatment (medical, herbal, and lifestyle improvement, acupuncture, and bariatric surgery) related to PCOS.

CONCEPT OF AGNI IN ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND ITS MANAGEMENT THROUGH YOGA& AYURVEDA

In Ayurveda, the concept of Agni is inevitable in determining the overall health of an individual, where Agni is said to be the base (moola) of life. The whole catabolic and metabolic processes are carried out in human body, regulated by Agni .But if due to Pragyaparadh or faulty lifestyle, the Agni is deranged then the metabolic activity becomes disturbed at cellular tissue and organ level and it fascilitates to the formation of Ama. Hence, Ama is a triggering factor of many diseases that in turn destroys the Agni. Atherosclerosis occurs mainly due to lifestyle abnormality which is a direct result of Ama accumulation in the body. It is observed that 17.7 million people die each year from Cardiovascular Disorders, in which Atherosclerosis is the precipitating factor and an estimated 31% of all deaths worldwide (acc to WHO). Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to a build up of Plaque around the artery wall. This disease disrupts the flow of blood around the body, posing the risk of serious complications. The term ‘Atherosclerosis’ is derived from the Greek word ‘athero’ meaning gruel or wax corresponding to the necrotic core area at the base of atherosclerotic plaque and ‘sclerosis’ for hardening the plaques luminal edge. Apart from drug, Yoga therapy may play a pivotal role for alleviation of Atherosclerosis. Yoga therapy improves the blood flow to the organs by neuromuscular action. Practice of Pranayama stimulates and changes the lumen size of the arterioles, which helps to regulate the circulation.

Pharmaco-therapeutic potentials of Mucuna pruriens (L.) in male infertility and associated sexual dysfunctions

Abstract Mucuna pruriens (L.) (MP), also known as Kapikacchu in Sanskrit, is a well-known medicinal plant, the seed of which is commonly used in traditional systems of medicine worldwide, mainly for treating male infertility and associated conditions. Infertility is a multifactorial disease process with several potential contributing causes, among which male factors contribute to almost 50% of cases of infertility, the causative factors of which can be counted from faulty lifestyle to stress factors.

Ayurvedic management of Sthoulya (Medoroga) W.S.R. to obesity

Obesity has been described as Sthoulya or Medoroga in Ayurvedic texts. It is described under Santarpanottha Vikar. Sthoulya is an abnormal state i.e., excessive accumulation of Medodhatu. Faulty lifestyle like over-eating, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise leads to various health problems. One of such lifestyle health problem is obesity which leads to various disease such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, joint disorders, diabetes and sometimes cancer also. Now a days, obesity is considered as a Global epidemic and a public health problem. One of the important aspects is mentioned in Ayurvedic text is Agni which plays an important role to maintain the normal state of health (equilibrium of Dosha, Agni, Dhatu and Mala). Mandagni leads to production of Ama which may be at the level of Jatharagni, Bhutagni or Dhatvagni. Mandadhatvagni leads to improper Dhatu Vriddhi and vitiated Medodhatu is main cause of metabolic disturbance in an obese individual. Medodhatu also becomes increased due to excessive intake of Kaphavardhaka Aahar-vihar. The modern drugs like appetite suppressants and lipase inhibitor have their side effects but Ayurveda acts on the causative factors (aggravated Kapha Dosha, Mandagni and vitiated Medodhatu) through Aoushadha, Aahar and Vihar which will be further described in full paper.

The Influence of Gender on Food Consumption Patterns Among National-Level Adolescent Cyclists.

Background and objective Adolescents in general make poor food choices due to a lack of awareness, social pressure, and other factors, leading to a faulty lifestyle. On the other hand, the adolescent athletic population is associated with a healthy eating pattern. In light of this, this study aimed to evaluate the eating behavior of adolescent cyclists competing at the national level. Methods A total of 50 national-level adolescent cyclists (26 males and 24 females) were assessed for eating behavior, daily food consumption patterns, and eating habits around exercise time by using a pre-tested validated questionnaire, Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and 24-hour Food Recall. Results The majority (82%) of the cyclists were non-vegetarians, followed by lacto-vegetarians (14%) and lacto-ovovegetarians (14%). Of note, 72% of the cyclists consumed four meals consisting of breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner daily, while 28% skipped at least one of the meals. The preference for takeaways (52%) surpassed dine-outs (34%) and home-cooked (14%) food. Pre-training snack was consumed by 37% and post-training snack by 47%. Cyclists daily consumed breakfast cereals (76%), bread (94%), pulses (92%), fruits (100%), vegetables (62%), milk (84%), milk products (90%), egg (82%), poultry, fish, and meat (74%), dry fruits, nuts, and seeds (78%), and saturated fats (100%). Junk foods (94%) and sweetened beverages (70%) were consumed at least once a week. No significant difference was observed in eating behavior and daily food consumption pattern between male and female cyclists. Conclusion The eating behavior of adolescent cyclists was inclined towards the consumption of saturated fats, junk food, and sweetened beverages. Male and female athletes have similar food habits. There is a need for the implementation of behavior change-oriented nutrition strategies to inculcate healthy eating habits among adolescent cyclists.
