The Ideal

Panchakarma therapy is the ideal line of treatment to maintain the state of health for a longer duration. It aims at the elimination of excessive Doshas from the body. Vamana karma is one of the Panchakarma procedure where in vomiting is induced by drugs and aims at the elimination of excessive Kapha and Pitta dosha from the body. Amavata is a Vyadhi where Kapha and Vata are predominantly involved. Its Udhbava Sthana is Amashaya and Vyaktha Sthana is Sandhi. Vamana is considered as best treatment for Kapha and its associated conditions. In Amavata mainly Kapha Sthana like Sandhi is affected. Langhana is considered as the prime line of treatment for Amavata. Vamana is considered under shodhana variety of Langhana. Normally, after Vamana patient does not complain of having any untowards like those patients after vomiting due to dehydration. This study was conduct- ed to evaluate the effect of vamana karma on serum electrolyte levels and access the safety of therapeutic vomiting. In this study, 20 patients diagnosed with Amavata were selected and subjected for Vamana karma. This study in- volves estimation of serum electrolyte levels before and after Vamana. The results are suggestive of safe applica- tion of the Vamana karma. Keywords: Amavata, Serum electrolytes, Vamana karma.

Background: Snehan(oleation) has a great role in all Panchakarma procedures. The therapeutic procedure by which greasiness is imparted to the body using different kinds of fat (Ghrita, Tail, Vasa, Majja etc) is called Snehan. Snehpan where fat substances are given in increasing doses by Ayurveda physicians, patients may have a fear that it will increase their cholesterol levels, there is this belief that if you consume ghrita, oil etc, it will in- crease your cholesterol levels and also increases the risk of heart disease. We conducted lipid profile reports be- fore and after Shodhnarth Snehpan in 10 patients in Janseva Ayurvedic Hospital, Surendranagar, Gujarat, India. Objectives: to observe Lipid Profile changes before and after Shodhanarth Snehpan. Management and Out- come: S. cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL, VLDL in all 10 patients were decreased. HDL however increased which is good cholesterol. Conclusion: The study requires a large group for more specific data. From this study, we can say Snehpan does not increase S.cholesterol levels. Keywords: Lipid profile changes, Shodhanarth snehpan.

In this article, an attempt is made to determine the legal status of the human body (organs and tissue) both while a person is alive and after a person dies. The article discusses the points of view of various authors in relation to the possibility of considering the human body, its organs and tissue, after their separation from the body, as objects of a person’s property rights, and also as an object of a person’s non-property rights. The article argues the impossibility of qualifying the human body and the organs that were not separated from it during life as parts – and perhaps critical parts – of the existence of the total human being, as objects of real (property) rights including the rights of the persons themselves. The human body as a single object is a personal non-property benefit. The organs and tissue separated from the body may be considered objects of real rights, but on several conditions: if they were indeed separated from the body and if the person gave permission for this in a will. The specific characteristics of the legal status of the separated organs and tissue of a human being are analyzed as things (possessions) with limited turnover. The specific characteristics of the legal status of the organs and tissue separated from the body as possessions in limited turnover are reviewed as well as the impact of personal non-property rights on this status. The main focus of the article is on the legal status of the human body and the organs separated from it after death in view of the fact that transplantology and postmortem organ donation are becoming more and more widespread. This issue is analyzed in terms of the body as a whole and as it applies to the organs and tissue that are not used for transplantation. The proposal is to base our analysis on the status of the human body after death which as a rule cannot be the object of property rights. The human body is disposed of within the framework of the protection of the personal non-property rights of the deceased, including the right of physical inviolability that covers the organs and tissue separated from the body. The article characterizes the legal nature of living wills when people give instructions as to the procedure of their burial and other means of handling their body, including donation of their bodies to science. The article examines the possibility of the right of ownership to organs and tissue separated from the body after death. This right can exist if a complex legal construct is present, including a direct or assumed living will of the person. The specific characteristics of living acts concerning the possibility of after-death organ and tissue harvesting for further use, including for transplantation purposes, and the differences between such acts and last wills are determined.

Skin is the general covering of the entire external surface of the body. Because of a large number of its functions, the skin is regarded as an important organ of the body. There are so many skin disorders of which Tenia pedis is a very common fungal infection that affects a significantly large number of people globally. This fungal infection is called Athlete’s foot because it is commonly seen in athletes. In Ayurveda, various skin disorders are described under the heading of kshudraroga. A brief description about Kshudraroga has been given in many Ayurvedic classics. Alasa is a variety of Kshudraroga occurring in between the skin of toes manifesting with Kleda, Kandu, Daha and Ruja. Talisadi tailam mentioned in Sushruta Samhita is an excellent formulation prepared of drugs which are effective against this disease. Current study includes 30 patients from OPD Department of Shalya Tantra, Jammu Institute of Ayurveda and Research, Jammu and Sri Sain Charitable Hospital, Janipur, Jammu diagnosed to have Tenia pedis based on signs and symptoms. Therapeutic effect was evaluated before and after treatment. The present clinical study has shown symptoms of Kandu, Daha, Ruja, Kleda significantly reduced after application of Talisadi tailam.

Background and Study Aim: The article presents the results of analyses of students’ foot pressure distribution on the ground, as well as their body balance before and after exercise (Harvard Step Test). The aim of the paper was to carry out a comparative analysis of foot pressure distribution on the ground, as well as assess the degree of body balance before and after exercise. With that purpose in view, the following research hypothesis was formulated: in the students participating in the study, the distribution of foot pressure on the ground and the degree of body balance differ significantly after physical effort compared with the at-rest conditions. Material and Methods: The study encompassed n=48 students, including 37 women and 11 men. The tests were carried out using such tools as: an EPS/R1 podobarographic mat and the impedance methods – i.e. the InBody 270 body composition analyser. An analysis was performed for the parameters concerning body composition, the distribution of foot pressure on the ground, and the level of body balance. Results: The results obtained revealed statistically significant differences in the physiological parameters of foot arching and the functional efficiency of the body balance system under different measurement conditions that reflected the impact of effort stimuli. Conclusions: Significant differences reflecting the impact of the effort stimuli were expected to be achieved during the mathematical analysis of the results of podobarographic tests that allow for the assessment of the physiological parameters of foot arching and the functional efficiency of the body balance system under different measurement conditions. The authors’ assumption was mathematically and statistically confirmed by significant differences foe most of the parameters arising out of the possibilities offered by the research method applied. Comparative assessment unquestionably revealed a negative change in foot arching, as well as lower body posture stability in the female and male subjects, resulting from the physical exercise applied.

The Impact

Introduction: The association between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and cardiovascular disease has been established. Complementary and integrative medicine (CAM) modalities are commonly underutilized due to their mixed results and need further evaluation. Empathetic Touch therapy is a holistic healing tool, which incorporates integrative medicine techniques such as energy healing, acupressure, craniosacral therapy, shamanic healing, aspects of Chinese medicine and spiritual care to promote wholeness in the body, mind, and spirit. The purpose of this study is to analyze symptoms of stress, anxiety, pain, and depression in a primarily veterans affairs population suffering from PTSD and voluntarily undergoing Empathetic Touch therapy sessions at a non-profit organization called the Forgotten Soldier Program. Hypothesis: We assessed the hypothesis that Empathetic Touch therapy will reduce feelings of anxiety, stress, pain, and depression. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 424 participants from the Forgotten Soldier Program who completed surveys before and after an approximately 1-hour session of Empathetic Touch therapy (November 7, 2013 through August 11, 2017). Self-reported scores on a scale of 0 to 10 for feelings of stress, anxiety, pain, and depression were collected before and after every therapy session. The change from baseline was determined and analyzed using a paired t-test. Results: Across a cohort of 424 individual patients, a total of 1,359 individual sessions were included for analysis. Self-reported feelings of stress (n=1267), anxiety (n=1223), pain (n=1275), and depression (n=416) were reduced by 3.27±3.34, 2.98±3.53, 2.44±3.66 and 1.46±3.7 (all p-values <0.001), respectively. No significant adverse events related to Empathetic Touch therapy were reported. Conclusion: Empathetic Touch therapy significantly reduces feelings of stress, anxiety, pain, and depression. Alternative and integrative modalities need to be further incorporated in a holistic treatment of patients. Assessing the impact of Empathetic Touch therapy on cardiovascular endpoints is warranted.

The Impact

The aim of the paper was to investigate health aspects of high altitude trekking such as preparation for the physical exertion during trekking at high altitude, the impact of mountaineering on the daily life before and after the expedition, the effect of high-mountain conditions on health and well-being. It was found that in the pre-departure period trekkers commonly train to ensure that they are physically fit for the expedition. They train alone or under the supervision of a trainer. Self-prepared workouts may turn out to be insufficient due to the lack of appropriate training plans. The most challenging aspects of high altitude trekking for the body include carrying too heavy equipment, dealing with illegibly marked routes, wearing inappropriate clothing, having an unbalanced diet, not having enough water, which can lead to dehydration and infections. Misconduct by other people poses a risk. The specific type of effort involved in mountaineering requires balanced nutrition in terms of both micro- and macro-elements. To find the right combination, one has to either experiment or seek advice from a dietitian. However, relatively few people consult a nutrition coach. Among sanitary problems, the most serious one is inappropriate human waste disposal, the resulting lack of drinkable water. Some of the observed problems result from insufficient regulations regarding the conduct in the mountains and from trekkers’ lack of awareness regarding good practices in such extreme conditions.

Abstract: Acute physical exercise is an exercise that is performed in a short time, it was performed only for a few minutes or <30 minutes. Physical exercise will cause some changes in the body, such as increased levels of urinary protein. Increased levels of urinary protein generally occurs in people with kidney disease, so that medical practitioners are often mistaken about this. This is because when doing physical exercise occurs decreases blood flow to the kidneys and cause disruption of glomerular and renal tubular function. This situation is not dangerous because it is only temporary, and reversible. In the previous studies, there is still controversy about the effect of acute physical exercise on levels of urinary protein. Based on that, researchers interested to know the impact of acute physical exercise kinds of anaerobic (sprint) towards levels of urinary protein. This study used an experimental design on one group pre-post test. Subjects were 30 male students who are in the Faculty of Medicine Sam Ratulangi. Urine protein levels assessed before and after sprint. The results obtained were processed using Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test. On the results, there was a significant increase of urinary protein (p = 0,00) after performing an acute physical exerise (sprint).Keywords: urine protein, acute physical exercise, studentAbstrak: Latihan fisik akut adalah latihan yang dilakukan dalam waktu yang singkat, sekitar beberapa menit atau <30 menit. Latihan fisik akan menyebabkan beberapa perubahan dalam tubuh, seperti peningkatan kadar protein urin. Peningkatan kadar protein urin umumnya terjadi pada orang dengan penyakit ginjal, sehingga tenaga kesehatan sering keliru akan hal ini. Peningkatan kadar protein urin terjadi karena pada saat melakukan latihan fisik aliran darah menuju ginjal berkurang dan menyebabkan terganggunya fungsi glomerulus dan tubulus ginjal. Keadaan ini tidak berbahaya karena hanya bersifat sementara, dan reversibel. Pada penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya masih terdapat kontroversi tentang pengaruh latihan fisik akut terhadap kadar protein urin. Hal ini membuat peneliti tertarik untuk mengetahui pengaruh latihan fisik akut jenis anaerobik (sprint) terhadap kadar protein urin. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian eksperimental dengan rancangan pre-post one group test. Subjek berjumlah 30 orang mahasiswa laki-laki yang berada di fakultas kedokteran universitas sam ratulangi. Kadar protein urin dinilai terlebih dahulu sebelum melakukan sprint, setelah melakukan sprint kadar protein urin dinilai kembali. Hasil yang didapatkan diolah dengan menggunakan uji Wilcoxon Signed Ranks. Pada hasil penelitian didapatkan peningkatan yang signifikan (p = 0,00) kadar protein urin setelah melakukan latihan fisik akut (sprint).Kata kunci: protein urin, latihan fisik akut, mahasiswa

Abstract: Dermal filler is a non-surgical procedure to improve facial volume or the anatomy of other parts of the body. It is also a rejuvenate therapy to achieve a younger appearance. Besides that, the need of lipodystrophy therapy is increasing. There are several types of fillers with their superiorities and inferiorities; therefore, it is pretty difficult to determine and choose the ideal filler. Dermal fillers vary in duration of therapeutic effect, filler technique, filler origin, and their physical properties. To date, there is no perfect filler so far. An ideal filler must be non-allergenic, non-carcinogenic, non-teratogenic, as well as has achievable cost and long acting effect. In case that dermal filler is therapeutical indicated, good preparation of doctor and patient is essentially needed. Consultation and information have to cover the therapy indication, filler technique, filler limitation, side effects, outcome, cost, and informed consent. As the other cosmetic procedures, to achieve optimal satis-faction, the doctor must be able to provide effective communication to the patient before and after the dermal filler therapy.Keywords: dermal fillerAbstrak: Dermal filler adalah prosedur non-bedah untuk penambahan volume wajah atau anatomi tubuh lainnya. Prosedur ini juga merupakan salah satu terapi rejuvenasi yang bertujuan untuk tampilan lebih muda. Selain itu, kebutuhan untuk terapi lipodistrofi juga makin meningkat. Terdapat berbagai jenis filler dengan keunggulan dan kekurangaood prepnnya masing-masing, sehingga agak sulit menentukan atau memilih produk filler yang ideal. Dermal filler bervariasi dalam hal lamanya efek terapi yang diperoleh, cara pemberian, asal filler, dan sifat fisiknya. Sampai saat ini tidak ada produk filler yang sempurna. Untuk menjadi ideal, produk filler harus nonalergenik, nonkarsinogenik, nonteratogenik, harga terjangkau dan berefek terapi yang panjang. Saat dermal filler menjadi pilihan terapi atau tindakan, persiapan yang tepat baik dokter maupun pasien merupakan hal yang esensial. Konsultasi dan informasi harus meliputi ketepatan indikasi pemberian filler, tehnik pemberian, keterbatasan filler, efek samping, kemungkinan hasil akhir, biaya, dan informed consent. Sebagaimana prosedur kosmetik lainnya, untuk kepuasan bersama, dokter harus mampu dan bersedia memberikan komunikasi efektif kepada pasien sebelum dan sesudah terapi dermal filler.Kata kunci: dermal filler

Abstract Objective: Sleepiness caused by poor sleep hygiene may increase the risk of injuries and damages during physical activity. Individual data so far indicate a generally better static postural stability of women regardless of sleeping conditions. The main aim of this study was to assess the impact of sleep deprivation on postural stability according to gender after 24 hours of sleep deprivation. Methods: Participants included 83 students (36 men and 47 women). Postural stability was measured with eyes open and closed eyes before and after sleep deprivation. Data from posturographic platform were used to assess postural stability objectively. Results: The type of test determined the size of observed changes in postural stability. The data suggest that women are better able to cope with the effects of sleep deprivation than men. Conclusion: Postural control system is very important in sport and in physically active people. The results show that men are more sensitive to sleep deprivation than women because they had higher COP path length values in tests. Less postural stability of the body due to sleep deprivation indicates a higher risk of injury during physical activity.

Purpose: Fitness testing is common within physical education, but there has been considerable debate about the pedagogical purpose and potential psychological implications of this practice. The aim of this study was to conduct a pilot experimental study to determine the impact of traditional fitness testing approaches on the body image, self-esteem, mood, and attitudes toward fitness testing of a sample of Australian students. Method: Fifty-one students in Grades 7–10 completed a questionnaire before and after their usual two traditional fitness testing classes at their school. Results: Repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed there were no significant differences from T1 to T2 on body image, self-esteem, or mood scores. However, there were significant differences observed over time, for participants aged over 15 years, whose self-esteem, social self-esteem subscale, and attitudes toward fitness testing scores, decreased from T1 to T2. Conclusion: This study provides initial evidence that older students may experience a decline in self-esteem due to fitness testing.
