Geriatric is the branch of medicine concern with the old age care and treatment. This age group where catabolic, degenerative phenomenons get accelerted due to dominate of vat dosha.The asthikshaya occurs due to vataprakop. Because Vatadosh and Asthi dhatu are related to each other. Therefore in Asthi dhatu, there is formation of Aakashyitva (Space) and soushirya (porocity). It results into osteoporosis. In Modern science, Osteoporosis is most common bone disease in Geriatric population. It is characterised by reduced bone mineral density (BMD), micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, calcium and phosphorus and increased risk of facture. The prevalence of Osteoporosis and Osteoporosis related facture increases markedly with age, reflecting in the related decline in the bone mass and increased risk of Osteoporosis in the Geriatric population. Madhuli (Eleusine coracona) contain more amount of calcium and phosphorus. So this dravy is usefull in Osteoporosis. So Madhuli modaka showed symptomatically good result in Osteoporosis.

Ayurveda is a classification of medicine with primeval origins in the Indian subcontinent. Ayurvedic therapies and practices have been integrated in universal wellness uses and in some cases in medical use. Changes in Lifestyle with development are very drastic. Diseased environment, junk food habits, work in shift duties, anxiety etc. are the main causative factors for vitiation of Tridosha and the demonstration of diseases in today’s era. There is dearth of information about Dincharya and Ritucharya in common people. Due to which People mainly gets exaggerated their gastrointestinal system first, and then other symptoms come subsequently. According to Ayurveda Sheetpitta is described as Tridoshaj Vyadhi (Disease), but Vata and Pitta Dosha are predominant and Ras and Rakta are main Dushya. Sheetapitta is one among the Twak Vikara that have related Hetu of Kotha and Udarda. Vata and Kapha are two “Doshas”, which are primarily bothered which in turn is associated through Pitta resulting in Tridosha Prakopa causing to redness, swelling itching on the skin etc. Chief symptoms of Sheetpitta are reddish spots, inflammation on skin with moderate to severe itching at site. It is compared with urticaria in modern science and termed as primary cutaneous disorder. An episode of it may start with pruritis. Episodes of urticaria may continue to revert for days, weeks, months or year if not cured properly. Urticaria is calculated as allergic reaction due to certain food and have only symptomatic treatment and anti-allergic drug. Commonly antihistaminic medicines were used for urticaria. In Ayurveda, treatment of Sheepitta includes Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa. Here we discussed about a case study of Sheetpitta. where we give Ayurvedic treatment and results were found very encouraging.

Good skin is an integral part of health. In the present era, skin diseases are becoming a major hazard for mental health more than physical harm as it attributes the cosmetic harmony. Skin diseases are the outcome of improper food habits and lifestyles. Ayurveda has described all the skin diseases under the heading of Kushta. It is further divided into Maha Kushta and Kshudra Kushta. Vipadika is a common disorder of skin mentioned under Kshudraroga characterized by fissures and cracks in the hand and feet with severe pain.1Vata Kapha Dosha is involved in this disease. The main features are Panipada Sputana along with Kandu, Thivravedana and Raga.2 It can be compared with palmoplantar psoriasis in modern science. It is an auto-immune condition, characterized by red scaly patches on palm and soles often with fissures and bleeding. Ayurvedic treatment is very effective in these conditions.

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that results from reduced tear production or excessive tear evaporation or an abnormality in the production of mucus or lipids normally found in the tear layer or combination of these. If blinking is decreased or if the eyelids cannot be closed, they may dry out leading to dry eye. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation on the surface of the eye may occur of left untreated leading to pain, ulcers or scars on the cornea and loss of vision. Prevalence of dry eye range from 5% to 35% worldwide while in India it is 29.25%. Tear substitute are the only treatment modality with modern medicine, only providing symptomatic relief. Ayurveda describes similar condition called Sushkakshi Paka and this patient was treated with Tarpana and Nasya with Jeevantyadi Ghrita.

Risk Assessment Method

Successful implementation of Health and Safety (H&S) systems requires an effective mechanism to assess risk. Existing methods focus primarily on measuring the safety aspect; the risk of an accident is determined based on the product of severity of consequence and likelihood of the incident arising. The health component, i.e., chronic harm, is more difficult to assess. Partially, this is due to both consequences and the likelihood of health issues, which may be indeterminate. There is a need to develop a quantitative risk measurement for H&S risk management and with better representation for chronic health issues. The present paper has approached this from a different direction, by adopting a public health perspective of quality of life. We have then changed the risk assessment process to accommodate this. This was then applied to a case study. The case study showed that merely including the chronic harm scales appeared to be sufficient to elicit a more detailed consideration of hazards for chronic harm. This suggests that people are not insensitive to chronic harm hazards, but benefit from having a framework in which to communicate them. A method has been devised to harmonize safety and harm risk assessments. The result was a comprehensive risk assessment method with consideration of safety accidents and chronic health issues. This has the potential to benefit industry by making chronic harm more visible and hence more preventable.

Abstract Background Rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D), also among younger adults, constitutes a growing public health challenge. According to the person-centred Chronic Care Model, proactive care and self-management support in combination with community resources enhance quality of healthcare and health outcomes for patients with T2D. However, research is scarce concerning the importance of person-centred care and community resources for such outcomes as empowerment, and the relative impact of various patient support sources for empowerment is not known. Moreover, little is known about the association of age with these variables in this patient-group. This study, carried out among patients with T2D, examined in three age-groups (27–54, 55–64 and 65–75 years) whether person-centred care and diabetes-related social support, including community support and possibilities to influence community health issues, are associated with patient empowerment, when considering possible confounding factors, such as other quality of care indicators and psychosocial wellbeing. We also explored age differentials in empowerment and in the proposed correlates of empowerment. Method Individuals from a register-based sample with T2D participated in a cross-sectional survey (participation 56%, n = 2866). Data were analysed by descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results Respondents in the youngest age-group were more likely to have low empowerment scores, less continuity of care, and lower wellbeing than the other age-groups, and to perceive less social support, but a higher level of person-centred care than the oldest group. Community support, including possibilities to influence community health issues, was independently and consistently associated with high empowerment in all three age-groups, as was person-centred care in the two older age-groups. Community support was the social support variable with the strongest association with empowerment across age-groups. Moreover, vitality was positively and diabetes-related distress negatively associated with high empowerment in all age-groups, whereas continuity of care, i.e. having a family/regular nurse, was independently associated in the youngest age-group only. Conclusion Person-centred care and community support, including possibilities to influence community health issues, supports empowerment among adults with T2D. Findings suggest that age is related to most correlates of empowerment, and that younger adults with T2D have specific healthcare needs.

Mandatory nutrition labelling, introduced in Malaysia in 2003, received a “medium implementation” rating from public health experts when previously benchmarked against international best practices by our group. The rating prompted this qualitative case study to explore barriers and facilitators during the policy process. Methods incorporated semi-structured interviews supplemented with cited documents and historical mapping of local and international directions up to 2017. Case participants held senior positions in the Federal government (n = 6), food industry (n = 3) and civil society representations (n = 3). Historical mapping revealed that international directions stimulated policy processes in Malaysia but policy inertia caused implementation gaps. Barriers hindering policy processes included lack of resources, governance complexity, lack of monitoring, technical challenges, policy characteristics linked to costing, lack of sustained efforts in policy advocacy, implementer characteristics and/or industry resistance, including corporate political activities (e.g., lobbying, policy substitution). Facilitators to the policy processes were resource maximization, leadership, stakeholder partnerships or support, policy windows and industry engagement or support. Progressing policy implementation required stronger leadership, resources, inter-ministerial coordination, advocacy partnerships and an accountability monitoring system. This study provides insights for national and global policy entrepreneurs when formulating strategies towards fostering healthy food environments.
