An impressive number of thousands of plants have been utilising for the treatment of diseases for thousands of years. Many of them are clearly explained in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda certain drugs manifest their action by their Rasa (taste); some by their Virya (potency) or other qualities, some by Vipaka (biological transformation) and others by their specific action. As per their Raspanchak, some of these drugs possesses an affinity for bala. The drugs that provide Bala (strength) and vitality to the body have been grouped under Balya mahakashaya by Acharya Charak. Bala (strength) plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. This study aimed to discuss the details of ten Balya Mahakashya drugs based on their Raspanchak i.e Rasa, Guna, Vi- rya, Vipaka and Karma and in relation to Bhavaprakash Nighantu, Dhanwantari Nighantu, Raj Nighantu and Kaiyadev Nighantu. Keywords: Bala, Balya Mahakashaya, Raspanchak, Nighantu.

Background: From the evidence of failed injection-based growth factor therapies, it has been proposed that a naturally triggered uninterrupted blood circulation of the growth factors would be superior. Objective: We seek to stimulate discussions and more research about the possibility of using the already available growth factors found in the prostate gland and endometrium by starting a novel educable physiology, known as biological transformations controlled by the mind. Methods: We summarized the stretch-gated ion channel mechanism of the cell membrane, and offer several practical methods that can be applied by anyone, in order to stimulate and enhance the blood circulation of the growth factors from the seminal fluid to sites throughout the body. This details the practical application of our earlier published studies about biological transformations. Results: A previously reported single-patient case study has been extended, adding more from his personal experiences continually improving this novel physiological training and extending the ideas from our earlier findings in detail. Conclusion: The biological transformation findings demonstrate the need additional research to establish the benefits of these natural therapies to repair and rejuvenate tissues affected by various chronic diseases or aging processes.

Aam is an important concept described by Ayurvedic Acharyas which is responsible for many diseases. According to Ayurvedic point of view, all diseases are originated from aamdosh, vitiation of Agni i.e malfunction of Agni produces Aam. Aam is unripe, undigested food which is caused due to Agnimandya. Agnimandya produces aam and viceversa. We all know that all diseases are caused due to Agnimandya. Therefore as agnimandya and aam are the causative factors of each other, aam is the root cause of all diseases. Hence aam and agnimandya plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment of disease. Nowadays due to lack of exercise, unhygienic and unhealthy diet, incapability to obey the rules of sound body maintenance and increasing pollution results in agnimandya and aam production in the body and decrease in immunity resulting into various diseases. The concept of aam is the most important fundamental principal of Ayurveda in understanding the physio- pathology of the disease.

Abstract Objective To realize the characteristics of “zheng” differentiation-treatment for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), a new methodology of syndrome differentiation for different stages of HFMD has been explored. Methods Total of 2 325 cases with HFMD were recorded by distributing them into exterior syndrome stage, interior syndrome stage, severe syndrome stage and recovered syndrome stage, respectively, and the main symptoms and subsidiary symptoms of different stages of HFMD have been observed. The major and minor pathogenesis of HFMD in different stages were obtained, and compared with the “2010 Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of HFMD”. Results It was found that the major pathogenesis of exterior stage was defined as “the invation of the wenevil to the defender of the body with the collaterals got involved”, and the minor as “qi deficiency”; in interior stage, “the fury of Gan-Yang” was the main pathogenesis, and “qi in chaos and qi deficiency” was the minor; in severe syndrome stage, “the damage of heart, liver and lung” was the main pathogenesis, and “qi in chaos” was the minor; and the pathogenesis of recovered stage was “qi-yin deficiency”. Compared with the “2010 Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of HFMD”, it showed that “the obstruction of the fei-pi qi by the mixture of shi-re evil” and “the mixture of shi-re” in vivo was quite difficult to be explained in completely different context in the general situation; in the severe stage, the TCM clinical characteristics of syndrome differentiation might lose; in the early acute severe cases, the phenomenon that xin-yang and fei-qi almost ran out was difficult to be observed, then, the line between the severe and the acute severe became vague. Conclusions The theory of syndrome differentiation by stages of HFMD was reasonable in the actual situation of clinical description on HFMD which was expected to be further tested and widely applied in the “zheng” differentiation-treatment of HFMD in the future.

In a scenario where there is a huge amount of available data sources, the Semantic Web has played a key role in sharing, retrieval, selection, and combination of data organized in various formats. The storage and retrieval of medical images manipulated by systems that support breast cancer detection can take great advantage from the use of such technology. In this paper we present a comprehensive study on ontology-based systems that support the manipulation of medical images related to breast cancer, identifying the main features of each approach.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus enters the body through the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2), which is the entry point of the virus into the cell. The most dense fabric of ACE-2 is the lungs. The small intestine also contains large amounts of ACE-2 in the enterocyte membrane and is often involved in this process. Intestinal symptoms can appear at different stages of the disease. The review describes the mechanisms of interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with enterocytes, the fecal-oral route of infection, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 with intestinal symptoms.

The features of fractional distribution of plasma proteins in rats with Escherichia coli at different stages of infection are established. It was studied the effect of hypobiosis on the proteinogramma under and after artificial sleep too. Artificial hypobiosis is important for therapeutic use at bacterial infection and proteinogramma is informatively significant as a diagnostic element of the functional changes provoked by a hypobiosis. We used the nephelometric method. Experiments were performed on young rats with Escherichia coli, in a state of hypobiosis and one day after leaving it. It was established the infection provoked changes in plasma proteins such as increasing globulins and decreasing albumin at the beginning of the disease and the opposite trend during the period of total depletion. The introduction of sick animals into a state of hypobiosis causes an increase in nonspecific resistance of the organism level due to an increase in the content of γ-globulin fraction and a decrease in the level of albumin, which increases the survival of animals after removal from hypobiosis. Indicators of the proteinogram of blood of animals that were introduced into the state of hypobiosis at the initial stage of the disease and the stage of progressive symptoms return to control values on the first day after the elimination of hypobiosis factors. Further research should be aimed at a comprehensive study of functional changes in the body according to the proposed model.

Background: Globally, it is estimated there will be a 43% increase in breast cancer-related deaths from 2015 to 2030, largely as a result of cancer metastasis. Metastatic breast cancer (mBC) is the most advanced stage of breast cancer where the cancer has spread from the original site to other parts of the body. While resources are available for early detection of breast cancer, there is a lack of information and support for those with an advanced breast cancer diagnosis in Brazil. To address this need, Instituto Oncoguia developed the National Metastatic Breast Cancer Patient Support Network, the “More Life Network.” This research is part of the Network initiative and seeks to increase knowledge and support for patients living with mBC. Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the mBC patient journey through diagnosis, treatment and quality of life after diagnosis. Methods: In May 2018, we conducted a cross-sectional study of mBC patients in Brazil. Patients were recruited voluntarily through online platforms. A quantitative online survey instrument was used for data collection. Frequency analysis was conducted across the main subject areas: knowledge, diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life. Results: A total of 188 online surveys were included in the analysis. Participants represent 20 of 26 states in Brazil and have a mean age of 44. Of the 188 participants, 114 are members of the Network. Knowledge about mBC was assessed through patient self-reporting. Approximately one third of patients (32%) reported little to no knowledge of mBC. When a patient does have questions about their diagnosis and treatment, a majority (83%) seek information from their physician. The Network was also indicated as a resource referenced by patients (51%). To understand the cancer journey, questions focused on diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life. Twenty-two percent (22%) of patients stated the most complicated or longest step of their journey was identifying symptoms of metastasis. The process of diagnosis was challenging, as well. Thirty-six percent (36%) of patients reported their metastasis was an incidental (by chance) diagnosis and 30% had little or insufficient information about the possibility of metastasis. After diagnosis, only 17% of patients continued working, while 78% worked prior to diagnosis. During treatment, the greatest hurdles in the patient journey include a decline in quality of life (42%) and lack of understanding or access to information about mBC (31%). The life of the patient is also impacted after diagnosis and treatment. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of patients expressed fear of the future and 61% felt they could no longer do the activities they previously enjoyed. Conclusion: This research demonstrates the lack of available information specific to a mBC diagnosis and the need for additional support throughout the cancer journey for patients living with mBC. Current breast cancer resources do not adequately address these challenges.
