Ayurvedic Management in Case of Depression W.S.R. to Kapahaj Unmad A Case Studyijtsrd
Ayurveda gives a prime importance to positive mental health. In the present era, the rate of depression is raised to the alarming extent so that it becomes the disorder of major public health importance, in terms of prevalence, suffering and morbidity due to modified and stressful lifestyle. Depression would be the second leading cause of disability adjusted life years DALYs . Kapahaj Unmada can be equated to Depression. Material and Methods In this study, a patient of 27 years old presented with complaints of disturbed sleep, headache, anger issues, lack of concentration, involuntarily redundant thinking on any point, suicidal thoughts and increased cry spells since last 2 years. In this present study, an attempt is made to study the efficacy of combined therapy of Shirodhara and Nasya along with Yoga and internal administration of Saraswthaarishta and Brahmi vati. Result and Conclusion Result were assessed by the improvement in patient's symptoms based on Hamilton's Depression Rating Scale. During and after the treatment, no adverse events were observed.

Nasya Karma an Emergency Therapy W.S.R. Visha Chiktsaijtsrd
The Nasya Karma has been specifically indicated, when the poison reaches the head region Shirogata Visha . As the medicines administered through Nasya directly enter the central nervous system, this treatment modality can be aptly used in such emergency medical conditions. The administration of Nasya doesn't need any specific pre therapeutic measures like Snehana Oleation or Swedana Sudation etc. which are compulsory before other starting other treatments like Vamana or Virechana. This makes it more suitable for its use in the emergency cases of poisoning. Moreover, the utilization of Nasya Karma has been observed right since the Vedic period and this extensive tradition of Nasya Karma gives lots of confidence about its safety and efficacy. Even certain researches in modern medical science have proved its utility, but still there is a greater need to explore and utilize this treatment option in a more scientific manner. Poisoning is always an emergency condition that doctor has to handle diligently and cautiously. Nasya karma NK drug delivery through nasal passage is considered to be the best one among all the panchkarmas for all urdhwajatrugata Organs above the adam's apple diseases. According to its practical application with minimum requirements, its accessibility is comparatively is easier. From 2016, CCIM has declared Agadatantra as a clinical subject. Agadatantra is the ayurvedic toxicological science which deals with the study of signs and symptoms of different types of poisons and its management. Among the twenty four treatment modalities of vishachikitsa, nasya is one. But practicle application of drugs which are used for NK in poisoned cases were not available at first hand.

AYURVEDA FOR PREVENTION OF LIFE STYLE DISORDERS W.S.R. TO MADHUMEHA (DIABETES...Dr Madhumita Panigrahi
Life style disorders are diseases which are associated mainly with the way a person or group of people lives. The present day living conditions pose a diverse situation where on one hand the average life expectancy has increased whereas on the other; the state of health is facing a new question every day in the form of either a new type of disease or some unknown problem endangering the human life .With this lot of lifestyle diseases are coming up and diabetes mellitus is one of them. It is estimated that the total number of people with diabetes will rise from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million by 2030. DM is now a world threat and the perspective to visualize its management has shifted from holistic to drug oriented with the advent of time from ancient to modern. Therefore, till few years before the revival of the holistic inclusion, the lifestyle and diet were not being much focused upon its management. Ayurveda has great potential in preventing life style disorders. According to Ayurveda a healthy person is one who remains established in self along with equilibrium of Tridosha (three functional units in body i.e. Vata,Pitta,Kapha ).Dietetic factors, lifestyle as well as environmental factors affect the Tridosha. Disease is the result of disturbance in homeostasis of Tridosha. This study will deal in length about the role of Ayurveda at different levels i.e. primordial, primary, secondary and tertiary levels of prevention of lifestyle disorders with special reference to Madhumeha (DM).

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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).
CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

11. DISCUSSION:
• Due to its use of nanoparticles and comprehensive approach in treating diseases, rasa preparations have
heralded in a new era in nanomedicine.
• The applications, dosage, mode of action, duration of treatment, patient prakruthi, pathya-apathyas, etc.
Are crucial considerations.
• For examples: Kakaradi gana is considered as apathya during rasaoushadhi sevana.
Kulatta to be avoided during shilajathu sevana.
High protein diet as the Sulphur bearing amino acids will greatly facilitate
detoxification[8].
• Pathya dravyas also decreases the teekshna properties of rasaoushadis and helps in proper absorption.
• Common antioxidants like vit C and vit E helps to scavenge free radicles also reduce chances of
chronic poisoning [9].

12. CONCLUSION :
• The key benefits of rasaoushadis are
Having longer shelf life, given in extreme small doses, palatability and are quick in
action[10].
• With an approach to enhancing neurodegenerative conditions shamana aushadis in
ayurveda are well developed for treating neurological illness.
• Numerous rasa dravyas acts as nervine tonics, immunomodulators, nootropics, cell
regenerators, anticonvulsant's, antipsychotics, neuroprotective as well[11].
• Rasaoushadis have been demonstrated to be effective in treating a variety of
disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, and hemiplegia.
