Pemphigus Foliaceous with special reference to Visphota Kushta

Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease which can be fatal if left untreated. In case of secondarily infected skin lesions, life threatening sepsis may develop. There is no specific treatment protocol for the management of pemphigus. The present study is aimed to treat a 57-year-old male patient clinically diagnosed with pemphigus foliaceus admitted in Kayachikitsa department in Govt. Ayurveda College, Thiruvananthapuram. Treatment was aimed at controlling the progression of disease, preventing infection and inducing healing of the affected area. In Ayurveda symptoms are more similar to Kaphapitha kushta especially Visphota kushta. Langhana, Snehapana and repeated Sodhana were the treatment protocols adopted. Ayurvedic approach in this single case of pemphigus is beneficial in correcting the inherent Agnimandya at Koshta and Dhatu level and thus provides significant result. PDAI score was used for assessment. Before treatment PDAI was 96, reduced to 24 after Sodhana and after treatment it was 6. There was no recurrence of symptoms after 2 weeks.

Anatomical Consideration of Dhamani Marma with SpecialReference to Vidhur Marma in Ayurveda

Marma sharira is known as the science of traumatological anatomy. Injuries to various structures of the body such as arteries, muscles, nerves, bones, and visceral organs may result in fatal injuries and death. Marmas in Ayurvedic classics are illustrated as the vital points in human body injury of which leads to termination of life. Acharya Sushruta has presented five types of marmas on structural basis, that is, Mansa-marma, Sira-marma, Snayu-marma, Asthi-marma, and Sandhi marma. Whereas according to acharya Vaghbhatt, there are six types of marmas. He has enumerated a sixth group of marma known as Dhamani Marma. Under the Dhamani Marmas which are nine in number he has presented Vidhur marma. The injury to which leads to deafness. The possible cause of deafness may be due to injury of an arterial structure that is Dhamani or snayu, that is, nerves. This article focuses on co-relating various anatomical structures such as arteries and nerves with Dhamani Marma explained by acharya Vagbhatt with special reference to Vidhur marma injury.

A Bird’s Eye View on Ojakshaya with Special Reference to Pandu(Anemia)

It is considered that Ojas is a constituent that embodies the ultimate essence of each and every one of the body's Dhatus, or tissue elements. It is one of the Pranayatanas, or the "seat of life." Ojas is also regarded as the live, luminous energy that resides within the human body. Every bodily component needs it to function efficiently. Both physiological and psychological elements have an impact on it. The classical Ayurveda text describes Ojakshaya as one of the Ojavikara which may be prevalent in various diseases. Referring to our ancient text, Pandu Roga is a disorder brought on by Oja kshaya in the body. Clinical evaluations of Pandu patients can reveal the presence of Oja kshaya; if this information is kept in mind during treatment, it may prevent the disease from progressing further and leading to problems. The relationship between Oja kshaya and Pandu is discussed in old Ayurvedic texts. The findings indicate that Oja kshaya may be more common in Pandu patients. The goal of this review article is to comprehend Oja and Oja kshaya and how they relate to Pandu..

Healthy Diets and Lifestyles in the World: Mediterranean and Blue Zone People Live Longer. Special Focus on Gut Microbiota and Some Food Components.

Longevity has been associated with healthy lifestyles, including some dietary regimens, such as the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and the Blue Zone (BZ) diets. MedDiet relies on a large consumption of fruit, vegetables, cereals, and extra-virgin olive oil, with less red meat and fat intake. Four major BZ have been recognized in the world, namely, Ogliastra in Sardinia (Italy), Ikaria (Greece), the Peninsula of Nicoya (Costa Rica), and Okinawa (Japan). Extreme longevity in these areas has been associated with correct lifestyles and dietary regimens. Fibers, polyphenols, beta-glucans, and unsaturated fatty acids represent the major constituents of both MedDiet and BZ diets, given their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Particularly, inhibition of the NF-kB pathway, with a reduced release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and induction of T regulatory cells, with the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin- 10, are the main mechanisms that prevent or attenuate the "inflammaging." Notably, consistent physical activity, intense social interactions, and an optimistic attitude contribute to longevity in BZD areas. Commonalities and differences between MedDIet and BZ diets will be outlined, with special reference to microbiota and food components, which may contribute to longevity.

Evaluation of the significance of tumor stromal patterns and peri-tumoral inflammation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with special reference to the Yamamoto-Kohama classification.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with 878,348 new cases. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the predominant cell type in tumor stroma and are important promoters of tumor progression. The aim of the study was to evaluate the pattern of desmoplastic stromal reaction and peri-tumoral inflammatory infiltrate with the histological grade and clinical data. A total of 60 cases of HNSCC were included in the study. The hematoxylin and eosin (H and E)-stained sections from all cases were examined by two experienced pathologists for the grade, nature of stomal reaction (SR), peri-tumoral inflammatory infiltration, Yamamoto-Kohama classification grade, worst pattern of invasion (WPOI), depth of invasion (DOI), and other histopathological parameters. Correlation analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test. P- value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Immature SR was not observed in any of the well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cases. However, one (3.7%) case of moderately differentiated SCC and two (28.6%) cases of poorly differentiated SCC showed signs of immature SR. In the case of the higher grades of the YK classification, specifically grades 4C and 4D, a more profound depth of tumor cell invasion, equal to or exceeding 10 mm, was evident in six (66.67%) and two (28.57%) cases, respectively. Additionally, among the seven (11.7%) cases classified as poorly differentiated carcinoma, three (42.85%) displayed a WPOI score of 5. SR and the tumor invasive pattern in HNSCC are related to prognosis and may indicate tumor aggressiveness.

Child Right of Education under International Law: A Special Reference to Indian Education System

Globally, the application of RTE under international human rights legislation is a deeply entrenched issue, particularly in developing and growing nations. The issue has multiple sides, ranging from discrimination to the topic of free and compulsory quality education for all, because of the nature of soft law, unclear wording, and fragmentation within provisions of international and regional legal instruments. Article 21(A) was implemented in 2002 as a component of the 86th Amendment Act, pertaining to India. It stated that children from six to fourteen would get free and compulsory education from the state, incorporating basic education into the right to freedom. Six years after the Indian Constitution was ratified, in 2008, the Union Cabinet adopted the Right to Education Bill changed. The Right of Children to free and Compulsory Education Act, also known as the Right to Education Act (RTE), was passed by the Indian parliament on August 4, 2009, and it describes the procedures for offering free and compulsory education to children between the ages of six and fourteen. It is a statute that falls under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution. One of the 135 nations to join the club was India. The current study examines India's legal framework and educational system in the context of international law using a qualitative approach and the doctrinal technique of research.

Effect of illite pretreatment on germinated Brown rice with Special Reference to amino acids, antioxidants, texture, and mineral elements

The pretreatment process of various foods has been reported to improve their nutritional properties. The soaking of brown rice improves the texture and nutrients, which are crucial for cooking and maintaining its high functional value. Illite, a clay mineral, has recently been discovered to improve the nutritional value of seeds. Based on these findings, we soaked brown rice with different concentrations of illite solution for different durations and allowed the germination to perform analyses. Soaking the brown rice for 6 h with a germination period of 48 h was determined to be the optimal condition because of its higher sprout length. In addition, this optimal condition had improved textural characteristics such as reduced hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and cohesiveness, and it also had increased adhesiveness and stabilized resilience and springiness. The treatment solutions were free from heavy metal contaminants, whereas the mineral contents such as K, Ca, Fe, Mg, and Na were significantly increased with the increase in illite concentration. Moreover, our results showed that illite treatment could preserve the color appearance and seed germination. The ratio of essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids and antioxidants (phenolic contentγ-oryzanol, and flavonoid) of germinated brown rice was considerably increased with illite treatment. In germinated brown rice, an increase in DPPH and superoxide dismutase levels, a slight decrease in flavonoids, and no difference in polyphenol content were observed. These findings suggest that pre-soaking brown rice seeds with the appropriate concentration of illite could enhance their nutritional properties, which might attract consumers' interest to include this in their daily diet.

Impact of Soundbox by Third Party Application Providers (UPI) on Retailers, with Special Reference to Greater Chennai Corporation

Before the advent of UPI, payments primarily relied on debit and credit cards, proving advantageous for medium-scale business retailers while disadvantaging small-scale or micro retailers using cash due to the high cost of POS machines. The introduction of the UPI digital payment system by the National Payments Corporation of India in 2016 marked a significant boon for customers and retailers of all types. Despite its benefits, some retailers hesitated due to perceived authenticity issues in receiving payments. However, since 2019, the third-party application provider Paytm revolutionized UPI adoption by proposing the installation of a soundbox. This innovative addition led to increased UPI utilization by retailers, driven by enhanced security, user-friendliness, simplified transactions, and lower monthly rental costs. This paper explores the impact and role of the soundbox post-installation by third-party application providers, examining its merits, demerits, and gauging retailers' perspectives on this transformative technology.

Study of association of thrombocytopenia and serological parameters in dengue fever with special reference to NS1 antigen in hilly Region of Northern India

Background: Dengue fever is an arthropod-borne disease transmitted to humans by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and one of the leading causes of arthropod-borne viral disease in the world. Aims and Objectives: The present study aims to analyze any association between platelet count and immunochromatography -based dengue serology tests. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Government Doon Medical College and Hospital. A total of 19,208 clinically suspected cases of dengue who reported in various outpatient departments, emergency services, and inpatient departments of our hospital between June 2023 and November 2023 were included in this study. Samples were tested by rapid immunochromatographic test for dengue non-structural protein 1 (NS1) antigen, immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgG, and platelet count was also obtained and a comparison was made. Results: Out of total 19,208 samples tested, 4876 (25.38%) samples were positive for NS1, 589 (3.06%) samples were positive for IgM. Majority of the patients were in the age group of 21–40 years 9274 (48.28%). 11,753 (61.19%) were males and 7455 (38.80%) were females. A strong correlation was seen between NS1 and thrombocytopenia where a total of 2737/4876 (n=56.13%) patients showed positivity in NS1 with low platelet counts. Conclusion: Detection of NS1 antigen helps in early diagnosis of dengue to avoid complications significantly. In confirmed dengue cases with fever, thrombocytopenia is more consistently found and can be used as a predictor to reduce the morbidity and mortality of dengue disease.
