Abstract of Paper I

ROLE OF IN-VITRO TOXICITY ASSAYS IN RASASASTRA

                        Dr.Sugeena.P., Dept. of Rasasastra & Bhaishajyakalpana, GAVC, TVM

                   

                            In-vitro and in-vivo experiments play a major role in drug development. The researches that have been done on tissues or cell lines are termed as in-vitro studies.  In vitro toxicity testing is the scientific analysis of the effects of toxic chemical substances on cultured bacteria or mammalian cells. Many of the toxicologists believe that in-vitro tests can replace in-vivo animal models. There are different types of in-vitro toxicity assays and all of them measurethe percentage of viable cells in the cell culture plate.  

                                               In Ayurveda cell line studies and cytotoxicity assays are employed in different fields of researches. In Rasasastra, the processed mineral drugs and toxic herbs are used as therapeutic agents. So there is a greater concern about the safety of these drugs. Many of the physicians are reluctant to prescribe rasa medicines due to toxicity concerns. In the modern era, there is a necessity of evidence based experimental studies to prove the safety of rasa preparations.  In this paper, the role of in-vitro toxicity assays in screening the toxicity potential of a rasa formulation is discussed. The possibilities of using these kinds of assays and its limitations are also considered.

Abstract of Paper II

 UTILITY OF GUDAVARTI IN CLINICAL MANAGEMENT- HORIZONS YET TO EXPLORE

Dr.Sreedarsan.K.S.,Dept. of Rasasastra &Bhaishajyakalpana ,GAVC, TVM

                                                                                                         

                                               Pharmaceutical modifications are essential tool of Ayurveda Bhaishajyakalpana. These make the formulation more patient friendly and will enhance their popularity. The major disadvantage in a pharmaceutical modification nowadays is reduced efficacy compared with the classical preparation. Thus it will be a difficult task to convert a formula to a modified form without losing its efficacy. Gudavarti is a classical solid dosage form that is limited its clinical utility to bowel evacuation. The need for an easier and safer option for ayurveda drug administration in children; especially in conditions like pyrexia is mounting now a days.The possibilities of developing a modified gudavarti having a systemic action lead to converting the time tested Amruthotharamkashaya yoga into an easy admissible form- gudavarthi or rectal suppository. The paper deals with the experimental study done on rabbits using this modified Amritotharam rectal suppository.

Abstract of Paper I

SHOULDER JOINT DISLOCATION

                  Dr.Jiji.G, Final year P G Scholar, Dept of Salyatantra, GAVC, TVM

                                                            

                               Shoulder joint dislocation is a condition in which the head of the humerus is displaced and losses contact with the glenoid cavity. Shoulder joint dislocation is the most common among all the joint dislocations. The prevalence is 23.9 persons per 1 lakh per year. Trauma and sports injuries are the most common cause for acute shoulder joint dislocation. It is much common in adults and rarely seen in children. Shoulder joint allows wide range of movements thus “stability is sacrificed for mobility”. Anterior dislocation constitutes 90% of the acute shoulder joint dislocation. Kocher’s method  is the most popular method of reduction. Shoulder joint dislocation is explained in the classics as Amsasandhimuktham, elaborating the effective management with the help of Musali etc.  In this presentation an attempt is made to describe the types of shoulder joint dislocation, current methods of reduction and the management practiced in our OPD.

Abstract of Paper II

  A CASE PRESENTATION ON SATHAPONAKA BHAGANDARAM

    Dr.Jasir Ahammed.N, Final year P G Scholar, Dept of Salyatantra, GAVC, TVM

                                   

                                    Fistula in ano is an inflammatory track which has an external opening in the perianal skin and internal opening in the anal canal or rectum. The prevalence rate of Fistula in ano is 9.6 cases per 10,000 populations. The male to female ratio is 1.8:1. Persistent anal gland infection is the one of the main reason for developing fistula in ano. Persistent seropurulent discharge, swelling and throbbing pain in anal region are the main features of this disease. In modern science no definite medical therapy is available, surgical and parasurgical measures are the currently practiced treatment modalities but having a high recurrence rate. We are successfully managing fistula in ano using ksharasutra therapy and the recurrence rate is almost nil.

                                 So here I am presenting a case on Sataponaka bhagandaram(Multiple fistula) covering the relevant Ayurvedic and  modern aspects of the disease.

Abstract of Paper I

Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media

                Dr. Praveen.T.Jose , Final year P.G Scholar, Dept. of Salakyathantra, GAVC, TVM

          

        Chronic Suppurative  Otitis  Media (CSOM) is a disease affecting a part or whole of the middle ear cleft characterized by ear discharge and permanent perforation. It is a disease having prevalence of 46/1000 in rural areas and 16/1000 in urban areas. No age group is exempted from the disease but the children are more prone to the disease. Because of the CSOM, the children will be suffering from conductive hearing loss. As proper language acquisition is not obtained due to improper hearing, it will lead to the deterioration of the quality and productivity of younger age. Moreover CSOM is a disease, if improperly treated will lead to serious complications such as meningitis, labyrinthitis, facial nerve palsy, brain abscess etc. So a basic awareness of CSOM is a must. There are two types of CSOM –Tubotympanic and Attico-antral. Tubotympanic is a chronic infection confined to anteroinferior part of middle ear cleft whereas attico-antral type involve  posterosuperior part of middle ear cleft (Attic, antrum and posterior tympanum and mastoid). Aetiology, bacteriology, pathological changes, clinical features, signs, investigations and modern medical management of both types of CSOM are discussed in detail. Intratemporal and intracranial complications of CSOM are explained to highlight the importance of management of CSOM in the initial stage itself. Ayurvedic perspective of CSOM, i.e. Poothikarnam described in classics along with its nidana, samprapti, dosha, dooshya and shrotas are explained. Detailed management of poothikarna with appropriate medications are described in detail.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Dr. KrishnakumarV, Final year P.G Scholar, Dept. of Salakyathantra, GAVC, TVM

  

                   Diabetic retinopathy refers to retinal changes seen in patients with diabetes mellitus. With increase in the life expectancy of diabetics, the incidence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) has increased. The total number of people with diabetes is projected to rise from 285 million in 2010 to 439 million in 2030. Diabetic retinopathy is responsible for 1.8 million of the 37 million cases of blindness throughout the world. In Western countries, it is the leading cause of blindness. The objectives of this presentation on Diabetic retinopathy includes recognizing it as a public health problem, to identify the risk factors, describe and distinguish between the different stages of the disease, understand the role of risk factor control and annual dilated eye exams in the prevention of vision loss. This paper also covers the Ayurvedic perspective of the disease and its management.

Abstract of Paper I

Sootikopachara- A Scientific Approach

                Dr. Aparna S Nair, Final year P.G Scholar, Dept. of Prasoothithantra, GAVC, TVM

          

         Motherhood is a precious gift given by nature to the women. A lady undergoes a number of complex changes during pregnancy and during sutikavastha these changes start approximately to the pre pregnant state. Thus proper care and treatment should be given to sootika so that she should recover fast. According to conventional science the puerperal period begins as soon as the placenta is expelled and lasts approximately about 6 weeks. According to  the duration we can consider the sootika kala  as 1 ½ month, 4 month, 6 month or till the appearance  of menstruation. The diet , habit and medicines Ayurveda offers the women after delivery help a great deal in reducing the post delivery complications.That’s why a special dietary  and habitual regimen called sootika paricharya is recommended. There are some differences in the practice of sootika paricharya. My attempt is to modify the  sootika paricharya scientifically.

Uterine Fibroids

Dr. Sandhya C V, Final year P.G Scholar, Dept. of Prasoothithantra, GAVC, TVM

  

                   The word uterine fibroid (leio myomata) is familiar to us as it is a commonest benign solid tumor in females.20%of women at the age of 30 has got fibroid in their wombs. Prevalence is higher in 35-45years.Incidence of symptomatic fibroid is only 3%in op. Other important factor is that 70%of hysterectomies done now a day are due to fibroids. Why this disease become so common now a day? The answer ends in the changing dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles.

                                                  This presentation aims to refresh the knowledge about fibroids and also to think what Ayurveda can do with fibroids. This covers the diagnosis, signs and symptoms with complications of fibroids, possible nidana, samprapthi, lakshanas according to dosha predominance, and how different treatment principles can be adopted in the treatment fibroids according to dosha predominance. The preventive aspects of the disease is also discussed.
