The Physiology of Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar)Peeyush Bhargava
This document summarizes a study that used PET/CT imaging to identify the skeletal muscles activated during sun salutation (Surya Namaskar). The study found the most intense uptake and activation in the shoulders and anterior abdominal muscles, specifically the deltoid, infraspinatus, triceps, serratus anterior, and rectus abdominis muscles bilaterally. Other muscles that showed increased uptake included the tibialis anterior. This indicates that sun salutation primarily exercises the shoulders and abdominal muscles. The study provides evidence that PET/CT imaging can effectively identify muscle recruitment during yoga exercises.

INTRODUCTION
In Sanskrit, the word asana translates to “seat”. Asana is the physical practice of yoga and relates to
the body. Asana is also another name for the poses or postures of yoga. “Asana” are sometimes
incorrectly used as another word for yoga, but it is indeed only one component of yoga practise. In
other words, yoga poses are used to do yoga, but the yoga poses themselves are not yoga. Asanas
are physical postures that exercise the entire body, stretch and tone the muscles and joints, the
spine and entire skeletal system. They have a beneficial effect not only on the body frame, but also
on the internal organs, glands and nerves, keeping all systems healthy. Asanas reduce stress,
enhance relaxation and revitalize body, mind and spirit.
According to the yogic scriptures there were originally 8,400,000 asanas, which are representative of
the 8,400,00 incarnations that one has to attain liberation from the birth‐death cycle. Over time,
these asanas were modified and brought down to a few hundred by Rishis and Yogis.
As per Patanjali Asana means a state of physical and mental calmness, to be steady and comfortable.
Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras says “Sthiram sukham aasanam”, meaning that yogasanas are positions
which is comfortable and steady. This is particularly important in meditation when a practitioner has
to sit comfortably in one position for a long time. This is in relation to Rajayoga, as asana here refers
to the sitting position.
HISTORY OF YOGA ASANAS
The history of Yoga Asanas can be traced from Vedic scripture to the modern period, throughout
which they underwent successive modifications. Yoga as a discipline was detailed first by Patanjali in
his Yoga Sutras. However, a physical culture existed prior to this, and Patanjali`s achievement lies in
collating all these diverse traditions.
Atharva Veda Samhita is one of the earliest text to mention yoga asanas in a specifically yogic
context. According to yoga tradition `asanas` means `to be established in a particular posture`.
There are various references in the Vedas, Brahmanas and Upanishads which indicate that the
practices must have already been in existence prior to their being noted in these texts. Meditative
postures were modified before the whole system of physical education was finally perfected by the
early Hatha Yoga practitioners.
Atharva Veda Samhita and the Patanajali Yoga Sutra mentioned asanas in general as postures
beneficial for spiritual development. Although Patanjali does not mention specific asanas, it is the
first text to identify right posture or asanas as part of Yogic practise. Indeed, Asanas in the Yoga
Sutras of Patanjali form the third limb of the eightfold Ashtanga Yoga.
Later Yoga treatises like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Yoga Upanishads provided detailed
descriptions of several specific Yoga Asanas. Modern works largely refer to these texts while
detailing Asanas.
Modern yoga manuals are based on concepts and ideology of Hatha Yoga and Patanaj
Transform your body and mind with Surya Namaskar, an ancient yogic practice that offers numerous health benefits. Improve flexibility, build strength, and enhance cardiovascular health while reducing stress and promoting mental clarity. Take necessary precautions and practice with mindfulness to experience the transformative power of Surya Namaskar.
Yoga is described as a practice that unites the body, mind and soul. It allows one to take control of their body through breathwork and relaxation, leading to better physical and mental balance. While working out at the gym focuses on muscles and appearance, yoga aims for overall health by ensuring all body parts and organs function effectively. Any physical exercise causes fatigue, but yoga neutralizes this through inhalation and exhalation. Different poses target specific body parts and should be done in the morning with an empty stomach. Even 20 minutes of yoga can provide benefits to one's mental and physical well-being. Basic poses include chanting, sun salutations, and alternate nostril breathing. Yoga offers benefits such as relief

Movement disorders: A complication of chronic hyperglycemia? A case reportApollo Hospitals
A 77-year-old man presented with bilateral choreic movements that had developed over the past month. He had a history of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. At admission, he was found to have severe hyperglycemia without ketosis. A CT scan showed hyperdensity in the putamen and lenticular nucleus. Treatment with insulin, haloperidol, and glycemic control led to regression of the choreic movements within 4 days. Chorea secondary to nonketotic hyperglycemia is a rare complication of uncontrolled diabetes that is usually reversible with normalization of blood glucose levels and neuroleptic treatment. The pathophysiology is thought to involve metabolic disturbances from hyperglycemia impairing neurotransmission in basal ganglia structures and
Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor – Case Reports and Review ArticleApollo Hospitals
Malignant mixed mullerian tumors are very rare genital tumors. They are biphasic neoplasms composed of an admixture of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements. In descending order of frequency they originate in the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix and vagina. Also they arise denovo from peritoneum. They are highly aggressive and tend to occur in postmenopausal low parity women. Because of rarity, there is as such no treatment guidelines available. Multimodality treatment in the form of radical surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy or combined chemoradiation gives a better prognosis & outcome. Two case reports of such tumors, one from ovary and other from penitoneum are presented along with the review of literature.
Intra-Fetal Laser Ablation of Umbilical Vessels in Acardiac Twin with Success...Apollo Hospitals
This case report describes the successful treatment of an acardiac twin (TRAP sequence) via intra-fetal laser ablation of the umbilical vessels. The patient was a 26 year old pregnant woman at 18 weeks gestation with twins, one normal (Twin A) and one acardiac (Twin B). By 26 weeks, Twin A showed signs of cardiac failure so laser ablation was performed to interrupt blood flow from Twin B to A. This minimally invasive procedure used an Nd: YAG laser to coagulate the vessels under ultrasound guidance. The pregnancy continued successfully, with Twin A delivered via c-section at 35 weeks in good condition. This report demonstrates that intra-fetal laser ablation can safely

We review current treatment; effects on reproductive function; breastfeeding and management of menopausal symptoms following breast cancer.
Turner syndrome (gonadal dysgenesis) is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities occuring 1 in 2500 to 1 in 3000 live-born girls. It is an important cause of short stature in girls and primary amenorrhea in young women that is usually caused by loss of part or all of an X chromosome. This review briefly summarises the current knowledge about the syndrome and the management strategies.
Due to pregnancy thyroid economy is affected with changes in iodine metabolism, TBG and development of maternal goiter. The incidence of hypothyroidism in pregnancy is quite common with autoimmune hypothyroidism being the most important cause. Overt as well as subclinical hypothyroidism has a varied impact on maternal and neonatal outcome. After multiple studies also, routine screening in pregnancy for hypothyroidism can still not be recommended. Management mainly comprises of dosage adjustments as soon as pregnancy is diagnosed based on results of thyroid function tests. The aim should be to keep FT4 at the upper end of normal range.
Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) can persist from childhood or be newly acquired. Confirmation through stimulation testing is usually required unless there is a proven genetic/structural lesion persistent from childhood. Growth harmone (GH) therapy offers benefits in body composition, exercise capacity, skeletal integrity, and quality of life measures and is most likely to benefit those patients who have more severe GHD. The risks of GH treatment are low. GH dosing regimens should be individualized. The final decision to treat adults with GHD requires thoughtful clinical judgment with a careful evaluation of the benefits and risks specific to the individual.
Advances in the management of thalassemia have led to marked improvements in the life span and quality of life of children and young adults. This poses new challenges for the treating physicians. There is now increasing recognition that thalassemics have impaired bone health which is multifactorial in etiology. This paper aims to highlight the factors that predispose these patients to osteoporosis and suggests measures to minimise the impact on bone health.
A 34-year-old woman presented with accidental ingestion of mercury that was used in her household to preserve grains. She experienced abdominal radiopaque shadows on X-ray that cleared after two days. Mercury poisoning can result from inhalation, ingestion, or absorption and affects the neurological, gastrointestinal, and renal systems. Diagnosis involves determining exposure history and elevated mercury levels in blood and urine. Supportive treatment includes removal of contaminated materials, irrigation, activated charcoal, chelation agents, and hemodialysis in severe cases.
Laparoscopic Excision of Foregut Duplication Cyst of StomachApollo Hospitals
Retroperitoneal gastric duplication cysts lined by ciliated columnar epithelium are extremely rare lesions and its presentation during adulthood is a diagnostic challenge for treating clinicians. This entity often resembles cystic pancreatic neoplasm, retroperitoneal cystic lesions and sometimes as an adrenal cystic neoplasm. Correct diagnosis on the basis of radiological investigation is difficult and histopathologic analysis. We report a case of gastric duplication cyst in a 16year old girl that mimicked as a retroperitoneal /pancreatic /adrenal cystic lesion and was successfully managed by laparoscopy.
Occupational Blood Borne Infections: Prevention is Better than CureApollo Hospitals
Viral infections like HIV, hepatitis Band C virus pose a big risk to the contacts of individuals with high risk behaviour as well as to the attending health care workers. Blood, semen, vaginal and other potentially infectious materials can transmit the infection to the susceptible contacts. Universal precautions should be strictly implemented during clinical examination, laboratory work and surgical procedures to prevent transmission to the health care providers. Health care workers should receive vaccination for hepatitis B infection. An inadvertent exposure should be managed with proper first aid and infectivity of the source and severity of exposure should be assessed. Severity of exposure is based on the nature and area of exposed surface, mode of injury and volume of infective material. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) should be started as soon as possible after a proper counseling about the effectiveness of post-exposure prophylaxis, side effects and risk of carrying the infection to his familial contacts and its prevention.

DRESS is caused by certain drugs and is characterized by fever, rash, eosinophilia, and involvement of internal organs like the liver or lungs. Carbamazepine was withdrawn and steroids were started, leading to improvement. The report reviews the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of DRESS, noting it is important to identify the causative drug and avoid re-
Difficult Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy-When and Where is the Need to Convert?Apollo Hospitals
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now become the treatment of choice for the gall bladder stone. With increasing experience, surgeon has started to take more difficult cases which were considered relative contra indications for laparoscopic removal of gall bladder few years back.
We conducted this study at our hospital and included all laparoscopic cholecystectomy done from May'08 to January'10. Total time taken in surgery, conversion rate and complication rate were analysed. Factors making laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficult were also analysed. We defined difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy when we found -dense fibrotic adhesions in and around Callot's triangle, gangrenous gall bladder, empyma, large stone impacted at gall bladder neck, contracted gall bladder, Mirrizi's syndrome, h/o biliary pancreatitis, CBD stones, acute cholecystitis of <72 hrs duration.
Out of 206 cases done during above period, 56 cases were considered difficult. Only two cases were converted to open.
With growing experience and technical advancement surgery can be completed in most of the difficult cases. This is important because recently it is shown in literature that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with less morbidity than open method irrespective of duration of the surgery.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. Yoga For Diabetes
Yoga poses or asanas, as they are called, have an impact on the internal organs of the body;
most prominent among them being the pancreas, liver, kidneys and some glands like
adrenal and thyroid glands. Many asanaswork on the stomach region and help activate the
organs in there, with special emphasis on pancreas, thereby strengthening and improving
their function. Since pancreas is responsible for secreting insulin, these asanas directly help
control diabetes.
Suryanamaskar
Suryanamaskar comprises of 12 poses of yoga, which are done in a systematic pattern along
with maintaining a rhythm of breathing. Suryanamaskarworks on the entire spinal cord
which comprises the endocrine system‐including the glands like adrenal, thyroid, pituitary
and the pancreas. Thus, this is very beneficial in controlling diabetes and promoting overall
wellbeing.
Bhujanga Asana
Also called the Cobra pose, this asana promotes flexibility of the spinal cord as it gently
bends the spine backwards.
Utthan Pada Asana
This asana uses all the muscle of the abdomen, thus improving the condition of the
pancreas, digestive system and also strengthening the spine and reducing fat around the
stomach region. It also relieves gastric disorders.
Mayurasana
Also called as the peacock pose, thisasana strengthens the internal organs like the liver,
pancreas and kidney. It also helps to cure stomach disorders, which improves digestion.
Some of the other asanas that can be beneficial for diabetics are Pawanmuktasana,
Salabhasana and Nadi Shodhana Pranayama.
