TRIVIDHI KARMA IN SURGERY (SHALY TANTRA)
Get PDFDetailed description about surgical procedure was given by Acharya Sushrut. Purva Karma, Pradhan Karma, and Paschat Karma are Trividhi Karma. Shastra Chikitsa is one of the prime equipment in which Trividh Karma i.e. Purva Karma (Pre-operative), Pradhan Karama (Operative, main action) and Paschat Karma play a crucial role in order to get fruitful result after surgery. According to Sushrut, Purva Karma means preparation of the patient along with collecting all the materials during Pradhan Karma. Asthvidhishastra Karma is included in Pradhan Karma. Paschat Karma includes all post-operative care. Paschat Karma includes care after surgery i.e., post-operative care of the patient. Every surgery is done under these Trividh Karma so that there will be better outcome after surgery. Acharya Sushrut well known as father of surgery in Ayurveda selected these three Karma wholly and solely for the benefit of patients who undergo through any surgical procedure because surgery not only includes main action (operation) but also care of the patient before and after surgery. He has also emphasized that aseptic and antiseptic precautions should be taken. The wound should be protected from dangerous and invisible creatures. Every surgical procedure is done under these three parts only. Each Karma has got its own importance. We cannot skip any of them and it is very important in order to get good result. Acharya Sushrut also emphasised on diet which is given before and after any surgery. He also explained about septic and antiseptic precautions to be done before, during and after surgery. He also mentioned about fumigation of patients ward after 7-10 days of surgery

MALNUTRITION-CHALLENGE IN 21ST CENTURY AND PROBABLE CONTRIBUTION OF AYURVEDA THROUGH MORINGA LEAVES
Get PDFNutritive diet has grabbed the center stage in current times among common men as well as researchers &food has turned into a whole damn industry. Despite of everything, Malnutrition is the largest single contributor to diseases in the world & leads to 45% of all deaths in children under 5 in developing countries. Due to interrelated mother- child nutrition, if a breastfeeding mother gets required nutrition, her kid becomes healthy. The causes of improper nutrition are variable but lack of nutritious food combinations in all classes are most important throughout the world.
Ayurveda is science of individualistic need based dietetics & nutrition and describes foods accordingly. There is recommendation of a super food named Shigru (Moringa) for Sutika (lactating mothers) in Bheshajyaratnawali,taking this as reference we have conceptualized a food combination of Moringa +wheat flour+ jaggery which is super nutritious and serves as a cheap, affordable, easy to collect and easy to make, palatable preparation.
When 11% of the world’s population is under nourished, need for such right food combination increases manifolds. Owing to per 100g nutritive value of these contents and their cost effectiveness, this combination has a potential to be a perfect staple dietary option for nutrition deficit individuals. It needs to be further established at large scale through RCTs so that large population can be benefitted
IMPORTANCE OF UPYANTRA IN SHALYA CHIKITSA
Get PDFAyurveda is considered as one of the best health science of ancient era. There are 8 branches of Ayureveda and Shalya chikitisa is the most important branch of Ayurveda due to its quick action (Ashukrye –Karnat). Shalya Chikitisa includes different surgical and para surgical technique which can be moulded depending upon the Immunity of Patients.
Today in modern scenario, where advance Science & technology is going to its highest peak & medical Science is becoming emphasis on knowledge of Upyantra seems quite obsolete. Sometime the situation arise when we don’t have proper medical facility during natural calamities where giving medical faculty to every person in not possible. To combat such disastrous situation the knowledge of accessory medical equipment is very important so, that we can survive. Acharya Sushrut is considered “Father of Surgery” who know how to overcome such situation with his unique power of thinking when situation is opposite for survival.
Acharya Dalhan, Acharaya Vagbatta, Achary Sushrut had explained different Yantra and Upyantra which can be used according to the patients immunity. In modern surgery there is no treatment option. They make patient to fit the available treatment but in ancient health science i.e., in Ayurved there are different way of treating patients depending upon their nature of body. Various types of Yantras used in Shalya Chikitsa includes Swastik Yantra, Taal Yantra samdansha Yantra, Shalaka Yantra, Naadia Yantra and Upayantra. These instruments place an at most role in the success of Shalya Chikitisa and without them the practical work of concept of Shalya Chikitisa cannot be made
ISOLATION OF ANTIBIOTIC PRODUCING BACTERIA FROM POND SOIL, GUDLAVALLERU
Get PDFSoil being a major reservoir for microorganisms it is a source of interest for isolation of antibiotic producing organisms. The emergence of antibiotic resistance and need for better, broad spectrum antibiotics is always in high demand. In the present study, antibiotic producing bacteria were isolated from a local soil sample. Total ten soil samples were collected from local pond aseptically and subjected to serial dilution. Crowded plate technique was employed for the isolation of the colony. Total five isolated were isolated which exhibited zone of inhibition around the colony. The isolated colonies were subjected to morphological, microscopical and biochemical characterization. All five colonies were found to be gram positive, non-sporulating organisms and found they belong to the Actinobacteria class. The isolated colonies were subjected to screening for antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Yeast by perpendicular streak method. The primary screening results conclude that except one colony all have good antimicrobial activity. One colony found to be highly potential activity which had inhibition towards gram positive, gram negative, sporulating and fungal activity. This study may contribute in providing information on the antibiotic producing microorganisms in soil. Further characterization, purification, and structural elucidation are recommended to know the novelty, quality and commercial value of these antibiotics
DESIGN, SYNTHESIS AND MOLECULAR DOCKING STUDIES OF NOVEL N-SUBSTITUTED-2-(FURAN-3-YL)-1H-BENZIMIDAZOLE DERIVATIVES
Get PDFBenzimidazole pharmacophore possess broad class of curative properties like anthelmintic, antiulcer, antihypertensive, anticancer, etc. In view of this reason benzimidazole derivatives synthesis gained vital significance in recent years. In this investigation, a series of novel substituted benzimidazole derivatives having furan appendage at 2nd position and alkyl/aryl appendage at 1st position were synthesized by using appropriate procedures. All the compounds synthesized were characterized by physically (Rf values, Melting point, Molecular weight, Molecular formula) and were characterized by spectral data (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR and Mass spectra). All the synthesized compounds were screened for molecular docking studies on human gamma-tubulin protein to find out the binding interaction at the target active site. Molecular docking studies at human gamma-tubulin protein states that the compound 4b showed good binding affinity (-8.98 kcal/mol) in comparison to the reference compound Albendazole (-8.47 kcal/mol)
