Pranayama comprises two Sanskrit words namely, Prana, which means life, and Yama, which means to control. So, it is all about controlling the life force inside your body. It is usually practiced by restraining breath and indulging in controlled inhalation and exhalation in order to feel the life and flow of energy within us. However, it has embraced various techniques over a period of time. According to the science of yoga, pranayama is considered as important to humans as life is to them.
There is nothing much to say about meditation. This is the oldest practise by virtue of which one can control ones mind and the mind becomes the strongest tool for tackling any challenges that life may throw at us. Meditation is the tool described in the vedic scriptures and today it is accepted world wide as a potent and effective therapy.
The Yoga is holistic and therapeutic approach in this presentation we learn about what is yoga the precaution and guideline for doing yoga and the yoga asana for low back pain
In Dhanurasana (= धनुः + आसान = bow-like posture), the shape of the body generally becomes like a drawn bow, that why it is called Dhanurasana.
During this yoga, the posture of the body becomes like a bow, hence it is called Dhanurasana. Dhanurasana is made up of two words. Sagittarius and Asana. Dhanu is a Sanskrit word, which means bow. Whereas, asana means posture.
Dhanurasana is also known as Dhanushasana or Bow Pose. While doing this asana, the body makes a shape like a bow. Dhanurasana is considered one of the 12 basic asanas of hatha yoga.
This asana is one of the three main asanas mentioned in yoga science for stretching in the back. The whole back gets a good stretch by the practice of this asana. The practice of this asana increases flexibility in the waist and strengthens the waist.
Both ancient yoga and modern science have confirmed that the spine is the most complex and important part of the body. In most of the asanas, it has been said to strengthen the spinal cord, considering it as the root of life. Dhanurasana strengthens it by concentrating the most on the spinal cord itself. It not only helps in making the spine strong but flexible also.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
