Subject Specific Integrated Multisensory Stimulation Program A Ray of Hope to Facilitate Arousal Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Get PDFObjective: The objective of the study was to test a newly developed subject specific integrated multisensory stimulation program (SSIMS) on arousal of patients in coma following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Design: Parallel group pilot randomized controlled trial. Patients: Twenty patients in coma following TBI from a tertiary care hospital with Glasgow coma scale score ≤8 and hemodynamically stable participated in the study. Interventions: Conventional coma stimulation was administered to control group and SSIMS to the experimental group participants. Measurement and Main Results: Baseline assessment was done using Coma Recovery Scale Revised (CRS-R) and Sensory Stimulation Assessment Measure by a blinded outcome assessor. Reassessment was done on 7th day and 14th day post initiation of treatment in both groups. Patients in the experimental group showed better improvement on 7th day (P = 0.04) and on 14th day (P = 0.009) of intervention on arousal measured by CRS-R scores. Conclusion: SSIMS is a safe and feasible protocol to improve arousal in comatose patients post TBI, which could be a better choice for coma stimulation in routine clinical setups

Integrative Outlook for Bahihiprakoshthi Asthibhaghna W. S. R. to Smith’s Fracture: A Case Study
Get PDFAyurveda is not only a system of medicine in the conventional sense of curing disease. It is also a way of life that teaches us how to maintain and protect mental and physical health and achieve longevity. Prevention is better than cure it is the main aim of Ayurveda. Ayurveda has many unique and important concepts are mentioned. In which the basic eight branches, that is, Ashtanga Ayurveda which includes Shalya Tantra which includes Yantra, Shastra all details regarding Shalya Chikitsa, nowadays, which is related with the Surgery in modern science. There are various unique concepts are described in the Shalya Chikitsa of Ayurveda. In which Bhagna or Asthibhagna is one of the concept. It’s Nidana, Chikitsa its prevention all are well explained in the Ayurveda science. Asthibhagna is correlated with the Fracture in the modern science. This article emphasize case study of Asthibhagna, treated with Ayurvedic principles in particular Shodhan Chikitsa,the therapy which expels out pathological Doshas from the body. Shodhan Chikitsa helps in eliminate the disease from its root level, that avoid its recurrence in future. Here is a case study of 52 year adult male patient visited in OPD of Shalya tantra presenting with complaints of Vam Hasta Shoola [Left hand pain]. Vam Hasta Alpa Shotha [Left hand mild swelling] and Sparshaasahatva [Local tenderness] since from 3 to 5 days. The patient was admitted and managed by Shodhana (Purification) along with Shamana (Pacification) Chikitsa. Kushabandha (Splint) was administered for immobilization for a duration of 60 days. Shital Kashaya aushadhis and Chakra Taila mainly for Parisheka (Irrigation). The results with marbles have been exquisite in this article
Integrative Management of a Case of Mild Head Injury with Small Hemorrhage in Brain – A Case Report
Get PDFHead injury is one of the common problems that we are facing from accidents. It can range from mild-to-severe head injuries, among which mild head injury is the most common one. In some cases of mild head injury, there can be an associated brain hemorrhage. In such cases, an integrated approach may benefit the patient. A 55-year-old male who had a mild traumatic head injury with a small hemorrhagic focus in the right parietal region of the brain detected with a CT scan was treated with homeopathic medicine, Arnica montana. Along with allopathic medicines, he was advised to take homeopathic medicine. In the next follow-up on repeating the CT scan, there was a disappearance of hemorrhagic foci. This is a case to support integrative approach treatment and is documented with evidence
Artificial Intelligence-Based Attack Weapon Target Allocation Using the Defense Area Analysis and Surface Learning
Get PDFFor better reflection of the interactive defense between focuses in common sense battle situations, the essential weapon-target assignment (WTA) based on defense area analysis using on-surface learning is proposed. Initially, a guard territory examination is introduced by the objectives’ positions. To build an automated system in this space after modeling Threat Evaluation and Weapon-Target Allocation measures, addressing these models and tracking down the ideal arrangement are further significant issues. This setting requests prompt operational arranging and dynamic under inborn extreme pressure conditions. The radii of the safeguard zones were used to dissect the intuitive inclusion and insurance between targets’ protection regions. The related duties are normally split between various administrators and electronic choice emotionally supportive networks. The inclusion status and inclusion layer number and the multistage assault target work model are set up. The customary WTA strategy and the multistage WTA technique are analyzed. The target work model is approved with the on-surface learning technique. The outcomes propose that if the battle situation includes intelligent inclusion of targets’ guard territories, it has been essential to investigate the protection zones and apply the multistage assault strategy to debilitating the objective safeguard dynamically for better battle adequacy
