A Case Study on Pompholyx (Dyshidrotic Eczema) w.s.r. to Vicharchika

Besides the miraculous achievement of modern medical science, humanity is passing through a horror of disease and drug phobia, particularly in developing countries like India, where poverty and illiteracy account for the man’s ignorance towards the principles of health care. Skin is one of the five ‘Gyanindriyas’ as described in Ayurvedic texts. It is responsible for ‘Sparsha Gyan’ or touch sensation; therefore it plays a great role in physical and mental well-being of any individual. The skin is highly complex organ which plays a vital role in the body’s general working. The unbroken skin is the nature’s dressing over the body’s it acts as an effective barrier against the entry of diseases and its damage results in a whole host problems. Approximately 15% of all patients who visits the doctors to do for care of the skin as the wise saying ‘skin patients never cured and never die. When a skin disorder occurs it is rooted in tissues like fat, blood etc. Skin disorders occur due to aggravated Pitta Dosha. The built up toxins due to imbalanced Pitta cause Pompholyx. Pompholyx is a type of eczema, in which intensely itchy blisters that develop on the edges of the fingers, toes, palms and soles of feet appear. It may be acute or chronic and it affects teenagers and adults. In the present case 42yrs old female patient, who presented with complaints of rash over palm of left hand associated with intense itching, deep seated oozing wound and burning sensation has been presented here. She was treated with Ayurvedic treatment regimen for 40 days and she recovered fully with no symptoms left.

The Change of Capillaroscopic Features under Pulsed Magnetic Field

The purpose of present study is to observe the change in capillaroscopic features before and after pulsed magnetic field (PMF) stimulus: the number, shape, length of capillary loop, and diameters of efferent capillary, and images of capillary loop. Nailfold capillary microscopy was used to quantitatively estimate the change of morphological characteristics of the capillaries. Capillary blood flow is recorded using video camera recorded at a frame rate of 60fps attached to the microscope. The velocities of capillary blood cell were 441 ± 22 and 508 ± 20 ㎛/s, before and after PMF stimulus, respectively. For the nailfold capillary morphologies, compared to before PMF, the more clearly visible loops are arranged as well as the capillary loop lengthened after PMF stimulus. Also the numbers of capillary loop/mm increased after PMF stimulus. In addition, tortuous capillary turned to hairpin shaped loop and the number of tortuous and abnormal capillaries are reduced after PMF stimulus. Our results proved the PMF stimulus on the palm of left hand for 10 min. provide the improvement of capillary blood flow, and it decreases vascular resistance in the blood micro-circulatory system. In addition, our study suggested quantitative and qualitative parameters of the nailfold vasculature in order to elucidate the effect of PMF. For expanding our findings, we need to have more subjects across a wide spectrum of age and with microvascular abnormalities, such as scleroderma, dermatomyositis and related disorders.

The Alteration of Young Boxers’ Athletic and Special Physical Fitness during the First Year of their Physical Training

The goal of this study was to analyze the alteration of young boxers’ athletic and special physical fitness during the annual cycle of their initial training. Research methods: literature review, experiment, testing, comparative analysis, and mathematical statistics. The sample consisted of 14 persons, who were training boxing for one year. The average age of the boxers was 14.9 ± 0.6 years. The duration of the experiment was 10 months (from September till June). The young boxers were training 1—1.5 hours 5 times per week according to the program which was made for them. The training program of one alternative was applied in the experiment. The initial training program contained 24.6% of athletic training, 27.6% of specialphysical training, 28.5% of technical training, and 19.3% of tactical training. The testing of the boxers was performed three times: the first testing was in October, the second one — in February, and the third one — in June. The following training means were used for the young boxers’ athletic training program: physical exercises on the special equipment, exercises with partner, exercises with weights (dumbbells), short distance running, point-to-point running, various jumps, throwing of the stuffed ball, various games. The main means for the young boxers’ special training were imitation exercises, exercises with a rope and lawn tennis balls, exercises at the boxing bags, straight and side thrusts to the boxing bag, defense exercises, thrust imitation using the dumbbells and the stuffed balls. During the annual cycle of the initial training there was a minor alteration in the indexes of the young boxers’ body composition: their height, body weight and Ketle index increased (p < 0.05), while the amount of the fat (%) within the body and the body weight index changed very little (p > 0.05). The strength of the sportsmen’s right hand palm was always bigger than the strength of the left hand palm. The boxers’ athletic and special physical fitness improved (p < 0.05) during one year of their initial training. The boxers’ speed, explosive strength, anaerobic glicolitic endurance, hand strength endurance and flexibility indexes increased significantly (p < 0.05). The strength of the single side thrusts with the front hand to the boxing bag increased from 106.3 ± 7.5 kg to 127.6 ± 8.15 kg (p < 0,05). The strength of the single thrusts with the straight hand increased from 135.2 ± 7.43 kg to 158.5 ± 6.74 kg (p < 0.05). The amount of the thrusts of the examined boxers during the period of 8 sec increased (p < 0.05) in each testing period and at the end of the experiment, the average amount of the boxers’ thrusts in 8 s was 43.5 ± 2.9. The training program, determined for one alternative experiment significantly improved the preparation of young boxers and did not harm their health. During the annual preparation cycle the athletic and special physical fitness of the boxers improved. The implementation of this experimental program made a positive influence on the alteration of the body composition indices of the young boxers.Keywords: athletic training, special physical training, boxing bag, energy input, total energy, total strength

The microbiomes of a XVIII century mummy from the castle of Krásna Hôrka (Slovakia) and its surrounding environment.

This microbiological survey was performed to determine the conservation state of a mummy in the Slovak castle of Krásna Hôrka and its surrounding environment. Culture-dependent identification was coupled with biodegradation assays on keratin, gelatin and cellulose. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) using Illumina platform was used for a deeper microbial investigation. Three environmental samples were collected: from the glass of the sarcophagus, from the air inside it, and from the air of the chapel where the mummy is located. Seven different samples were taken from mummy's surface: from the left ear, left-hand palm, left-hand nail, left instep, right hand, abdomen and mineral crystals embedded within the skin. Three internal organ samples, from the lung, pleura and stomach, were also included in this study. Together, the culture-dependent and culture-independent analyses revealed that the bacterial communities present had fewer taxa than the fungal ones. The mycobiome showed the largest variability and included Epicoccum nigrum, Penicillium spp., Alternaria spp., Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium spp. and Aureobasidium pullulans; many other Ascomycota and Basidiomycota genera were detected by NGS. The most interesting results came from the skin mineral crystals and the internal organs. The hydrolytic assays revealed those microorganisms which might be considered dangerous 'mummy pathogens'. © 2018 Society for Applied Microbiology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

강한 펄스자기장 자극에 의한 적혈구 연전현상의 활동성 조사

It is widely known that pulsed magnetic field (PMF) is very useful tool to manipulate chemical and physiological processes in human body. The purpose of our study is to observe dynamics of rouleaux patterns of red blood cells (RBC) under PMF. The aggregation of RBCs or rouleaux formation is caused by fibrinogen in blood plasma. The maximum magnetic field intensity is 0.27 T and pulse time of 0.102 msec and pulse repetition rate was 1 ㎐. PMF stimulus was applied to the palm of left hand for 5, 10, 15 and 20 min. Live blood analysis was used in vitro in order to quantitatively estimate the velocity of RBC exposed to PMF stimulus. The velocity of stacked-RBC of 10 minute PMF stimulus was increased up to 8 × 10 −4 m/sec, but it decreased rapidly as the time passed. The results of present study have adduced that PMF stimulus on hand provide the improvement of RBC rouleaux formation, increase of RBC’s moving velocity as well as low blood viscosity.

Palmprint Recognition using Feature Level Fusion

Problem statement: Palmprint based biometric method has gained high i mpact over the other biometric methods due to its ease of acquisit ion, reliability and high client acceptance. Multip le feature extraction from image gives higher accuracy of the authentication system. Approach: This study presents the palmprint based identification m ethodology which uses the Gabor wavelet entropy to extract multiple features existing on the palm p rint, by using a feature level fusion using Dempste r- Shafer theory and are classified using nearest neig hbor approach. A feature having the same vector can be grouped together using wavelet transform. A different feature of image using wavelet can be extracted. Some of the features that can be extract ed using wavelet entropy consist of contrast, correlation, energy and homogeneity. The features a re fused at feature levels. Palmprint matching is then performed by using the nearest neighbor classi fier. Results and Conclusion: We selected 100 individuals' left hand palm images; every person is 6 and the total is 600. Later we got every person each palm image as a template (total 100). The rema ining 500 were treated as the training samples. The experimental results achieve recognition accura cy of 98.6% and interesting working point with False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of = 0.03% and False Rejection Rate (FRR) of = 1.4% on the publicly available database of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Experimental assessment using palmprint image databases clearly validates the eff icient recognition performance of the suggested algorithm compared with the conventional palmprint recognition algorithms.

Automatic Palmprint Identification based on High Order Zernike Moment

Problem statement: Hand geometry contains relatively invariant features of an individual. Palmprint recognition is an efficient biometric solution for authentication system. The existence of several hand-based authentication commercial systems indicates the effectiveness of this type of biometric. Approach: We proposed a palmprint verification system using high order Zernike moment that was robust to rotation, translation and occlusion. Zernike moment was an efficient algorithm for representing the shape features of an image. The design consists of feature extraction and matching of image using high order Zernike moment. Zernike moments at high orders was calculated from the image and the image was classified using K-Nearest Neighborhood (KNN). The reason for using Zernike moment was that it was the best algorithm due to its orthogonality and rotation invariance property. Results and Conclusion: Computational cost can be reduced by detecting the common term of Zernike moment. Experiments and classifications have been performed using Hong Kong PolyU palm print database with 125 individuals’ left hand palm images; every person has 5 samples, totaling up to 625. We then get every person’s palm images as a template (totaling 125). The remaining 500 are used as the training samples. The proposed palmprint authentication system achieves a recognition accuracy of 98% and interesting working point with False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of = 1.062% and False Rejection Rate (FRR) of = 0%. Experimental evaluation demonstrates the efficient recognition performance of the proposed algorithm compared with conventional palmprint recognition algorithms.

Recognition of the Tamil sign alphabet using image processing technique with angular-based analysis of left hand to aid deaf-dumb people

Human-computer interaction is an important research work for enabling convenient communication between deaf-dumb and normal people. This paper introduces a Tamil sign recognition system for one of south Indian languages. Tamil alphabets have 12 vowels, 18 consonants and one Ayutha Ezhuthu. This proposed method introduces a set of 31 sign combination of binary images. Each image representing five finger positions in the form of binary ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’ type. The images represent the left hand palm side which is to be taken ten times at different distances as static 320 images. Fingertip position identification of ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ is identified by using efficient and fast algorithm image processing techniques. Then a binary type of fingertip position is converted into corresponding Tamil letters. The experiments revealed that the system is able to recognise Tamil sign language with 98.44% better accuracy.

Les pots de médicament de Yakushi Bouddha (bouddha de la guérison) au Japon

The origin of Yakushi buddha (Bhaisajyaguru in Sanscrit, buddha of healing) is not clearly known. It has been proposed the original statue of Yakushi buddha may have been conceived from Varna, a god in Brahminism, believed to be a god of justice who possessed medicines and prolonged life. It is believed that Yakushi buddha appeared in Japan when the buddhism was imported from Korea and China in VI century, Yakushi buddha was believed more profoundly in Japan, compared with Korea and China.The reasons are probably as follows: Yakushi buddha is buddha of healing, Emperor Temmu (672-685) built Yakushi-ji temple in Nara, Emperor Shomu (724-749) built Kokubun-ji temples at principal towns. The principal statues of buddha in these temples are Yakushi buddha. In Japan, there are 252 Yakushi Buddha statues in Buddhistical Temples, which are listed in Important Cultural Property including 14 National Treasures. Belief in Yakushi Buddha was especially prevalent from the 7th to the 13th centuries in Japan. The oldest wooden Yakushi Buddha statue is in the Horin-ji temple in Nara. Among the 252 Yakushi Buddha statues, 224 are in wood, 15 are in copper, 6 are in picture and etc. 212 (84,1%) have medicinal pots (or rarely, a bowl) on the palm of left hand. However, these medicinal containers are wooden blocks. Very recently, it was found that Yakushi Buddha statue in the Suho-Kokubun-ji temple (Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan) has a medicinal pot on the palm of the left hand in which an offering (220 g materials) was found. The date on the reverse side of lid places the offering at October 12, 1699. The offering is composed of five cereals (rice, barley, wheat, soybean, adzuki bean), five medicinal plants (Acori Graminei, Acori Calami, Radix Ginseng, Flos Caryophylli, Lignum Santali Albi), and five minerals (rock crystals, purple and blue glasse, CaCO3, particles, silver and golden foils). DNA analysis proved those three randomly selected seeds of rice all belongs to the template japonica, which is predominant in the present variety of Japan.

19S ゴルフスイングにおけるグリップ力の測定

In this paper, we investigate the gripping force of golf which is considered to have close relationship with performance and feeling of the club. The force sensor cell composed by bridge structure featured small light and strain gages was newly designed in order to detect the gripping force in golf swing. The sensor grip using the force sensor cell was developed which can detect the gripping force in radial direction (Fz), tangential direction (Fx) and thrust direction (Fy). The sensor grip was attached on the shaft of the test club and the dynamic gripping force on some part of finger and palm in swing action was examined. Some remarkable results of change in radial and frictional force were obtained as follows. (1) The gripping forces of three direction show the tendency to change rapidly at around the impact point. (2) The force of frictional direction (Fx, Fy) in swing were large on the all measured points. (3) The force of radial direction on the palm of left hand was detected steadily. (4) The force of tangential direction on the palm of left hand and the middle finger of right hand were detected markably at back swing and impact. (5) The thrust direction force on the thumb of right hand was detected stably in down swing. It is considered that these results will offer the many useful data in order to develop the advanced sports gear which have funtional design and appropriate specification for each player.

Effects of needle stimulation of acupuncture loci Nei-Kuan (EH-6), Tsu-San-Li (St-36), San-Yin-Chiao (Sp-6) and Chu-Chih (LI-11) on cutaneous temperature and pain threshold in normal adults.

The effects of stimulation of acupuncture loci Nei-Kuan (EH-6), Tsu-San-Li (St-36), San-Yin-Chiao (Sp-6) and Chu-Chih (LI-11) on cutaneous circulation and/or pain threshold were assessed in eight normal adults. Stimulation of acupuncture locus San-Yin-Chiao (located in the right leg) produced vasoconstriction in the right leg skin temperature (Tright leg) and in the left leg skin temperature (Tleft leg). There was no change in either right arm skin temperature (Tright arm), left arm skin temperature (Tleft arm), metabolic rate, or respiratory evaporative heat loss. Stimulation of Nei-Kuan (located in the right arm) produced vasoconstriction only in both Tright arm and Tleft arm without changes in Tright leg or Tleft leg. Stimulation of acupuncture locus Tsu-San-Li (located in the left leg) produced vasoconstriction in both Tleft leg and Tright leg without changes in either Tright arm or Tleft arm. Stimulation of acupuncture locus Chu-Chih (located in the left arm) produced vasodilatation in both Tleft arm and Tright arm without changes in either Tright leg or Tleft leg. On the other hand, stimulation of acupuncture locus San-Yin-Chiao (right side) produced analgesia only in the right foot sole, while stimulation of acupuncture locus Chu-Chih (left side) produced analgesia only in the left hand palm. Thus, the data indicate that each acupuncture locus may have its own topographical representation with special reference to both cutaneous circulation and pain threshold in normal adults.
