Ayurvedic Management of Ghrahani [Crohn’s Disease]-A Single Case Study
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines. It primarily causes ulcerations (breaks in the lining) of the small and large intestines, but can affect the digestive system anywhere from the mouth to the anus. It causes a wide variety of symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhoea (even bloody if inflammation is severe), vomiting, weight loss. It may also cause complications outside the gastrointestinal tract such as skin rashes, arthritis, and inflammation of the eye, tiredness, and lack of concentration. Crohn’s disease is related closely to another chronic inflammatory condition that involves only the colon called ulcerative colitis. Together, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are frequently referred to as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Crohn’s disease is caused by interactions between environmental, immunological and bacterial factors in genetically susceptible individuals. This result in a chronic inflammatory disorder, in which the body’s immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract possibly directed at microbial antigens. Crohn’s disease has traditionally been described as an autoimmune disease, but recent investigators have described it as an immune deficiency state.
According to Ayurveda, Crohn’s can be compared to ‘Grahani’ disease. Grahani in Ayurveda, is actually an anatomical term to describe small intestines (specifically Ileum and jejunam). Any vitiation or inflammation to this particular part by imbalanced Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) can cause a wide variety of symptom similar to that of Crohn’s disease, anywhere across the digestive system. Degree and nature of symptoms may vary as per the doshic predominance & involvement.
At CHARAKA, we are providing very effective treatment for Crohn’s disease based on the classical principle of Ayurveda and our research. Treatment involves internal research medicines, strict diet regime and life style modifications. In more severe and chronic cases, Panchakarma therapy is selectively done along with these. Pichha Basti indicated in Parvahika, Grahani and Atisara by Acharya Charaka and Vagbatta. This Basti reduce inflammation due to its Grahi, Deepandravya and Picchila Gun
Periosteum-Assisted Coronally Repositioned Flap with EDTA Root Biomodification: A Case Report
The periosteum, a vascular connective tissue layer covering the bone, has great regenerative potential, making it suitable for use in autogenous grafts. The periosteal eversion technique utilizes the periosteum to cover exposed tooth roots. This case report focused on evaluating root coverage using this method for a patient with Miller\u27s Class II recession on a maxillary canine. A partial-thickness flap was reflected, root biomodification was performed using EDTA, and the periosteum was everted over the exposed root and sutured. After six months, 90% of the root surface was successfully covered, highlighting the technique\u27s effectiveness for gingival recession treatment
An Innovative Surgical Technique For Reconstructing The Papilla Using Platelet-Rich Fibrin.
The loss of interdental papilla can result in phonetic, functional and aesthetic issues. Although various surgical approaches are available, they are often difficult and yield inconsistent results. This case report describes the use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) for papilla reconstruction in the maxillary anterior region of a 40-year-old women who experienced papilla loss between teeth 11 and 21. PRF was inserted into a pouch created with a semilunar pedicle flap, allowing the entire gingivopapillary unit to be repositioned upwards. A satisfactory fill was achieved at 3 and 6 months post-operation. Therefore, PRF may offer a promising solution for enhancing interdental papilla

Early detection is crucial for effective intervention, and diagnostic methods encompass blood tests, imaging, biopsies, and genetic tests, followed by staging to determine disease severity. This review focuses on herbal remedies from medicinal plants like ursolic acid, genistic acid, luteolin, curcumin, and others, demonstrating anti-cancer properties in inhibiting proliferation and modulating molecular processes. Studies, primarily in vitro and animals, offer insights into their potential for skin cancer prevention. The review synthesizes diverse literature, providing nuanced insights into herbal remedies’ molecular mechanisms for innovative therapeutic approaches. Emphasizing the importance of human trials, particularly for compounds like ursolic acid and genistic acid, is crucial for validating efficacy and safety. Herbal remedies align with WHO recommendations, holding promise for more effective and holistic skin cancer treatments. Ongoing research supports the integration of these compounds into treatment protocols, marking a hopeful frontier in combatting this pervasive disease
A Comprehensive Review Of Ethnopharmacology, Phytochemistry And Pharmacology Of Some Medicinal And Edible Mushrooms
Since mushrooms have long been utilized throughout traditional medical practices curiosity about exploring mushrooms scientifically and their possible health advantages is rising. Polysaccharides, sterols, and phenolic compounds are just a few of the bioactive substances that can be found in mushrooms and have a positive impact on human health. The study of how different cultures have used mushrooms in traditional medicine is what makes mushrooms relevant from an ethnopharmacological perspective. Mushrooms have a wide variety of ethnopharmacological uses, and these uses change according to culture and mushroom species. Although the scientific study of mushrooms is still in its infancy, the preliminary findings are encouraging. There is proof that mushrooms can boost the immune system, lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, stop the spread of cancer cells, and protect cells from free radical damage. We will probably discover much more information on the health advantages of mushrooms as further research is conducted. A useful source of knowledge about the possible health advantages of mushrooms is their ethnopharmacological relevance. From the present review, knowledge about ethnobotany, phytochemistry, and pharmacology can be utilised to direct scientific study and create new health-improving products made from mushrooms.

Metal Induced Oxidative Stress in Fishes: A Review
Fishes when exposed to various contaminants, particularly metals in their habitat can induce oxidative stress. In fishes, metals contamination results in oxidative stress by promoting reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation through redox cycling and impairing antioxidant defenses. ROS are harmful to all forms of aquatic life and can damage tissues and cellular components.Higher amount ofROS lead to varying degree of oxidative damage to the fish tissues including lipid peroxidation, protein and DNA oxidation as well as enzyme inactivation through different mechanisms as observed in different fish species. The present comprehension of how metals contribute to the onset of oxidative stress in fish is summed up in this review.

Rabindranath Tagore on religion; A philosophical analysis
Rabindranath Tagore was a prominent 20th-century philosopher known as a poet, social reformer, educator, and practitioner. His educational model has a unique sensitivity and suitability for education within multi-racial, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural situations. Most of Tagore’s ideas are expressed in his books and usual writings that draw the attention of Tagore’s scholars, a layman/woman cannot connect easily. This article tries to analyze different standpoints of Tagore on religion and how he implemented it in his real life. Tagore’s concern is to find out the basis of the religion that unites human beings, and he is searching for it in the truth of man’s nature. Tagore realizes that teaching of religion can never be imparted in the form of lessons, but he finds it in the living personality of man. In his work The Religion of Man ~ the Hibbert Lectures for 1930, published in 1931 ~ Tagore compiled his views on religion and the philosophy of life. The compilation was by and large based on the Hibbert lectures Tagore delivered at the University of Oxford in 193
