Abstract

Globalization is the process of international integration arising from interchange of the world’s views,products, ideas and other aspects of the culture. Ayurveda has holistic approach towards health and diseases,lifestyle, using medications, diet and their fewer side effect .Globalization helps to propagate Ayurvedaworldwide with the help of health tourism.India is emerging as a great destination for health tourism because it has several factors like excellentmedical treatment at low cost, easy accessibility, picturesque locations for excellent holidays etc. Healthtourism is not only beneficial for the foreigners but our country can also be benefitted financially. It willalso help to spread the importance of Ayurveda worldwide. The physician can extend a helping hand inglobalization of Ayurveda by being in their own motherland. Patients from industrialized nations seek healthtourism because of high quality treatment at low cost.Panchakarma is one of the specialty of Kayachikitsa presents unique approach of Ayurveda with shodhanaprocedures of the body. Panchakarma provides promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilative aspect.There has been phenomenal increase in the demand for Panchakarma. Sharad ritu is the time for Pittaprakopa. The pitta which was accumulated in Varsha ritu gets provoked by ushna guna during this season. Ifproper care is not taken during this time, it will cause Pittaja vikara. Virechana is the method of purification,conducted in Sharad ritu for preventing and controlling pitta prakopa as a part of Ritukalina shodhana.In this current paper, we would like to discuss different aspects of health tourism with special reference toSharadiya Virechana, which will contribute to propagate Ayurveda globally.

Abstract

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is growing in heaps and bounces with increasing incidencesevery year due to increase in cardiovascular risk factors like diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking, hypertension,dyslipidemia and sedentary life style. Platelets have always been a cornerstone of thrombosis, aggravationof atherosclerosis and its complications, such as acute coronary syndromes which include acute myocardialinfarction (AMI), Non ST Elevation MI (NSTEMI) and unstable angina (UA), and sudden cardiac death.Platelet aggregation and activation plays a pivotal role in thrombus generation in cardiovascular diseases.The aim of this study is to evaluate platelet indices in coronary artery disease and to reveal a clinicaldiscussion based on them.Methods: A total of 65 cases were studied; 21 patients had stable coronary artery disease for which theywere admitted for a coronary angiogram. 27 patients had Troponin negative unstable angina (UA) or troponinpositive NSTEMI or STEMI having corresponding ECG findings. The third group had a normal cardiogram.Conclusion: Platelet Volume Indices studied were — mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet large cellratio (PLCR), platelet distribution width (PDW) was increased in ACS as compared to stable CAD and thecontrol group. Large platelets are functionally notorious and are a predisposing contributor for developingmyocardial infarction. Larger platelets can be diagnosed routinely by CBC’s, Platelet volume indices arecommon, cheap and easily available tool for screening future thrombotic cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract

Bladder cancer has become common cancer globally. It is the most common urological cancer; it comprises asignificant part of urologists’ work. 80 % of bladder cancers are superficial at diagnosis; they have not invadedinto the muscle. The residual 20% are muscle-invasive, which carry a much worse prognosis. Emergingevidence mark that some parasites such as the blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium, Clonorchis Sinensisand small liver flukes Opisthorchis viverrini are causative agents of malignancies such as bladder cancercaused by schistosomes and cholangiocarcinoma by liver flukes. Infection with Schistosoma haematobiumleads to urogenital schistosomiasis, which has been correlated with the occurrence of bladder cancer. Themechanisms responsible for this association have not yet been clearly identified. This study clarifies theassociation between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and bladder lesions associated with Schistosoma. The resultshows there is a high expression of COX2 in the Bilharzia related bladder cancer (BBC) while there is lowexpression of COX2 in non-bilharzia related bladder cancer (NBBC). In conclusion, conceder the positiveexpression of COX2 among Iraqi patients with Schistosomal-related bladder lesions is high. There may bea strong association between high rates of bladder cancer and urinary schistosomiasis in Iraq, as the vastmajority of COX2 lesions were positive.

Abstract

Background: Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) is an indicator of patient’s glycemic status over the previous 3months. HbA1C levels increase in presence of Iron deficiency anemia.Aim: To analyze the effect of iron deficiency anemia on HbA1c levels in patients of diabetes mellitus withcontrolled plasma glucose levels.Material and Methods: In the present study, total 50 patient of diabetes mellitus with iron deficiencyanemia with controlled plasma glucose levels were taken as a cases and 50 iron-sufficient non-anemichealthy individuals were taken as a controls. Medical history was taken from all participant and data ofHbA1c, ferritin, FBS, hemoglobin, peripheral smear examination, red cell indices were collected fromlaboratory. Statistical analysis was carried out by student’s t-test, Chi-square test, and Pearson’s coefficientof regression.Results: HbA1C level (6.90 ± 0.81%) were increased in iron-deficient individuals as compared to controls.In females, HbA1C (7.08 ± 0.78%) were more elevated than males. When classified on the basis of FBS,HbA1C was elevated more in subjects having FBS between 100-126 mg/dl (7.31 ± 1.52%) compared to thethose with normal FBS (<100 mg/dl).Conclusion: A positive correlation found between iron deficiency anemia and increased HbA1C levels,especially in the controlled diabetic women and individuals having FBS between 100-126 mg/dl. Therefore,presence of iron deficiency anemia should be checked before altering the treatment regimen of diabetesmellitus patient.

Abstract

Objective: To determine the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of garlic against Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureus. Method: Dilution test was performed on 9 different concentration of ethanol extractof garlic (1024, 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4 mg/mL) dissolved in DMSO 10% and MRSA suspensionon Mueller Hinton broth medium to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration. The MinimumBactericidal Concentration was determined by the result of streaking of MRSA inoculation on the nutrientagar plate. Results: The observation through Mueller Hinton broth medium has shown turbidity both beforeand after incubation because of garlic ethanol extract color which is blackish-brown and thick, while in thenutrient agar medium, MRSA bacteria grew on the media with concentrations 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, & 128 mg/mL and unable to grow at concentrations of 256, 512, and 1024 mg/mL. Conclusion: The MIC of ethanolextract of garlic on MRSA could not be determined, and the MBC in this study was 256 mg/mL.

Abstract

The study was conducted in the Republic of Altai, one of the Russian regions, with the participation ofstudents of different ethnic and gender backgrounds. The main idea was to clarify the anthropoestheticpreferences when choosing a sexual partner; however, in this work, attention is paid to a characteristicfeature of the drawn face – its asymmetry. One of the original projective psychodiagnostic methods was used– face drawing, which made it possible to determine the coefficient of asymmetry of its structural elementsand the manifestation of emotions in relation to a potential sexual partner. The algorithm for obtaining a facepattern, drawing reference (cephalometric) points, and a module for calculating asymmetry was describedin detail. In addition, the authors made an attempt to show the connection between asymmetry and the spaceoccupied by facial structural elements with the emotional background.

Abstract

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease worldwide caused mainly by the metacestode Echinococcusgranulosus. Hydatidosis disease is common in all countries of world, especially in the Middle East, inaddition to Asia, Africa and Europe. A person becomes infected with this disease through accidentalconsumption of water, soil or food contaminated with the faeces of infected dogs, which is the most commontype of method of infection. This parasite is transmitted to dogs when it ingests the infected organs of otheranimals that contain hydatid cysts. A study was conducted to study the infection rate between women andmen in Baghdad governorate. The results showed a highly significant increase in the incidence of infectionwith hydatid cyst among females (70.00%) in comparison to males (30.00%). The oldest age of hydatidosispatients was between 31-40 years (30.00%) with a significant differences between age groups and gender,while the lowest percentage was at age 41-50, in addition 51-60 age reached (10.00%). In regard to theprofession, the highest value of infection recorded in housewives (60.00%) and the lower percentages(6.67%) in the employees’ category. However, the most infection rate was within under primary educationlevel (40.00%), while the lowest percentage was at university education level (3.33%). The incidence ofliver infection (100%) is higher than the other organs, Moreover, it is the only affected organ that contains alarge number of hydatid cysts, Compared with lung, kidneys and spleen, which each recorded only two cystfor each of these affected organs in hydatid cyst patients, which was represented by significant differencesat (P<0.01) and (P<0.05).
