K Shanti, G Gopinathan
Diplopia or double vision has many aetiologies and often presents to the ophthalmologist. The causes of diplopia may be ocular or neurogenic in origin. Any trauma to the eyes in the form of blow-out fractures causes diplopia by damaging the third nerve. The management by the practitioners of contemporary science depends upon the extent of the nerve or muscle injury. Entrapment of muscles requires surgical intervention, whereas others are managed conservatively. The recovery rate is the least for diplopia of traumatic origin...

Alcohol has always been a component in the dietary pattern of human civilization. It is widely used in society for celebration and socialization. Alcohol abuse is among the most serious problems in public health characterized by uncontrolled drinking which causes physical and emotional dependence on alcohol. Chronic alcoholics are at a higher risk of developing vitamin B1 deficiency due to malabsorption, poor diet, and an increased demand for nutrition. Vitamin B1(Thiamine) is an essential nutrient required for the body's energy metabolism and proper functioning of the nervous system...

A 23 year old young lady was admitted for Ayurveda treatments of her refractive error coupled with migraine. She was put on Shadbindu Taila Nasya, 24 drops in both her nostrils immediately the next day. Within 6 h of performing Nasya, the patient started developing pyrexia which was initially of low grade, and later, within 6 h, went on to high-grade. Nasya was suspended, and rescue Ayurveda medicines were started but had no improvement. The patient later self-medicated an antipyretic drug, and with a single dose, the high-grade pyrexia came down to normal...

This article narrates the potential role of sesame oil-based Anu taila for respiratory health and the prevention of COVID-19. Ayurveda recommends the use of sesame oil and A. taila as a part of daily routine (dinacharya) for oral gargling and transnasal application (Nasya) for preventing upper respiratory tract infections. Recent studies on COVID-19 have elucidated the activity of certain fatty acids in restricting viral binding. Based on the evidence gathered from in-silico, pre-clinical, and pharmacological studies as well as references from classical textbooks of Ayurveda, this article infers that the transnasal application of sesame oil and/or A...

Allergic Rhinitis is an immunological inflammatory response of the nasal mucosa to airborne allergens. Although Allergic Rhinitis is not a life-threatening disease, the symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis can be particularly bothersome and disruptive to a patient's sleep and overall quality of life. The coexistence of other allergic conditions like Asthma is very common. No satisfactory treatment is available in modern medicine for this disease. There is a need to search for satisfactory treatment available in another medical system...

BACKGROUND: Insomnia is connected with a lifted hazard for neurocognitive dysfunction and psychiatric disarranges. Clinical observations of psychosomatic patients indicate that their distorted somatopsychic functioning necessitates their practice of yoga-like therapy. Sleep and its modifications and management have also been explained well in ayurveda. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Yoga and Nasya Karma on the sleep quality, stress, cognitive function, and quality of life of people suffering from acute insomnia...

INTRODUCTION: Apathy is one of the most common neuropsychiatric manifestations in Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent proposals consider apathy as a multidimensional construct, which can manifest in behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and/or social dimensions. Apathy also overlaps conceptually and clinically with other non-motor comorbidities, particularly depression. Whether all of these dimensions are applicable to the apathetic syndrome experienced by people with PD is unclear. In the present study, we investigated the multidimensional pattern of apathy associated with PD, using the recently developed Apathy Motivation Index (AMI) which probes behavioral, emotional, and social apathy dimensions...

Small fibre neuropathy (SFN) is a subgroup of peripheral neuropathy which is characterized by a disorder of the thin myelinated A-δ and unmyelinated C-fibres. With a prevalence of 52.95 per 100,000 population per year, the reported etiology of SFN has remained unclear in 23-93% of investigated patients and hence termed idiopathic small fibre neuropathy (iSFN). Pain is the most common symptom which is often described as burning. Conventional pain management is the only treatment option for iSFN, which is only modestly effective and associated with adverse events which lead to reduced drug compliance...

We report a primary hemifacial spasm that started four years ago with sudden twitching of the face towards the right side. It was diagnosed as a hemifacial spasm by a neurologist and prescribed with Zeptol 100 mg 0.5 tablet BID for two weeks, followed by two sittings of Botox injection in a gap of 1 year. A year later, it reappeared more severely, driving her towards an integrative treatment modality. Ayurveda treatments including Nasya , Ksheera dhooma , internal medications, and Rasona navaneetha prayoga were administered...

Recent studies have found high levels of stress among Americans, particularly amongst young adults and ethnic minority groups. The purpose of this secondary data analysis was to explore the association between stress and social support among a sample of 276 young adult smokers of Pacific Islander ancestry, specifically Samoans and Tongans with an average age of 25.3 years. Previous research had documented the protective role of social support on stress, and thus it is hypothesized that young adult Pacific Islander smokers who perceived higher levels of social support will have less perceived stress...

Biodiesel is an alternative to fossil-derived diesel with similar properties and several environmental benefits. Biodiesel production using conventional catalysts such as homogeneous, heterogeneous, or enzymatic catalysts faces a problem regarding catalysts deactivation after repeated reaction cycles. Heterogeneous nanocatalysts and nanobiocatalysts (enzymes) have shown better advantages due to higher activity, recyclability, larger surface area, and improved active sites. Despite a large number of studies on this subject, there are still challenges regarding its stability, recyclability, and scale-up processes for biodiesel production...
