Study Of Medicinal Plant-Based Anti-Stress Herbal Tea On Prediabetic Women: Randomized Controlled Trial
No full textThe focus of this study is on the effects of herbal tea made with Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana), Thankuni (Centella asiatica), and Bay leaves (Laurus nobilis) on prediabetic women. In a "single centre randomised controlled trial," participants\u27 blood pressure, serum cortisol, blood sugar levels, and scores on common stress-assessment questionnaires were measured in order to determine the impact of this herbal tea on stress reduction. A total of 62 female participants between age of 18-60 years were considered to be prediabetes out of 100 female participants. The intervention group (Group A) received the herbal tea (150 ml twice a day) daily for 8 weeks, whereas the control group (group B) received similar amount of normal tea on a daily basis. At baseline and 8 weeks later, measurements of “serum cortisol level,” “blood sugar level, ”blood pressure,” and “stress-assessment questionnaires” were made. After adjusting for confounding factors, it was observed that group of participants receiving the herbal tea, experienced a larger decrease in blood sugar level from the baseline. After 8 weeks, a reduction of 26.2% from baseline was observed in the intervention group. In contrast, a reduction of 7.8% was observed in the control group. In Group A, after 8 weeks there was a significant reduction in scores corresponding to all of the item-subsets: 51.5% for the “Depression” item-subset, 73.5% for the “Anxiety” item-subset, 60.7% for the “Stress” item-subset. In contrast, in group B, the corresponding reductions in scores were much smaller: 6.8%, 13.01% and 8.2%, respectively. In case of blood pressure, a reduction of 10.4 % for Group A from baseline compared to Group B which is 2.0% for systolic pressure has been noticed. For diastolic pressure also Group A has larger reduction rate (8.48%) than Group B (0.67%)
Effectiveness of dexmedetomidine and midazolam for pediatric dental procedures: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
No full textBackground / Introduction: Pediatric dentistry has long been associated to pain, fear, and anxiety. It typically takes a variety of behavioural management techniques that are communicated by the entire dental team to get a child to cooperate with a procedure. Beyond non-pharmacological methods, there are pharmacological methods using sedative agents used in dental practise to provide analgesia and anxiolysis to help children behave appropriately for dental treatment. This makes treatment more patient-friendly and efficient.
Aim: The current study was aimed to determine the efficacy of Dexmedetomidine and Midazolam as sedative agents and the effective route of administration.
Methodology: A thorough literature search was conducted on PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane’s database for randomized controlled trials that compared sedative efficacy of dexmedetomidine (DEX) with midazolam (MDZ) in children of 0–15 years of age undergoing dental procedures. This systematic review and meta-analysis has been registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Review- PROSPERO- CRD42023449821. This review follows the guidelines of preferred reporting items in systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Sedation in children during procedure, when used as a sedative agent, hemodynamic stability, onset time, duration of anesthesia, were evaluated.
Result: Significant difference was noted for onset time with DEX group having a higher mean time, at p=0.005. The duration between the two agents were not significantly different at p=0.43. Dexmedetomidine administered children clearly took greater time to recover as compared to Midazolam group. Blood pressure did not vary between groups, SpO2 was better in Midazolam group, but heart rate was also increased in the Midazolam group.
Conclusion: The nasal route of administration may be the most effective method of drug delivery. The use of midazolam might be more beneficial for short procedures carried out in busy outpatient centers, but the use of dexmedetomidine is more effective for long extensive dental treatment

Aqueous Extract Of Tutsan (Hypericum Androsaemum L.) Red Berries Exhibits Antioxidant Activity And Effects Akin To Those Of An Antidepressant
No full textHypericum androsaemum L., sometimes referred to as "tutsan" or "shrubby St. John\u27s Wort," is a plant in the Hypericum genus that grows naturally in the Mediterranean region. It is widely grown as an ornamental plant because of the striking color variation in its young, berry-like capsules, which turn shiny black as they ripen from red. In traditional medicine from Portugal and Spain, tutsan has also been used to treat depression. We evaluated the potential benefits of H. androsaemum red berry water extract (WE). After H. androsaemum red berries were decocted, WE was produced, and its ten bioactive component content was ascertained using HPLC-DAD analysis. By boosting endogenous antioxidant defenses and restoring normal behavior, the maximum dosage of WE was found to effectively alleviate the symptoms of depression overall and lower oxidative stress levels
Issue of Feminine Sexuality in Namita Gokhale’s A Himalayan Love Story
No full textThis paper explores Namita Gokhale’s A Himalayan Love Story from the perspective of a woman living in Indian hills. It focuses on the feminine mind that is upset by things like frankness, melancholy, ebullience, assertiveness, honesty, and strong assertion. A few of these attributes are connected to the novel’s protagonist. In addition to being a brilliant and compassionate lady, Parvati’s strong protests the pointless limitations force her to live a certain way after her marriage to Lalit Joshi because of her previous physical relationship with Salman, a history teacher. It also demonstrates how impossible and challenging it is to find unconditional connection in the harsh realities of the outside world. In the story, the new woman searches for her identity and defines herself, but she also encounters and hears the traditional male voice and image - often a derogatory one - of a woman in this patriarchal society. Her approach is particularly efficient in analysing the range of emotions, interactions, and misinterpretations that comprise married couples’ relationships

Bridging Traditional and Modern Healthcare: Ethnomedicine in the Chakpa Community of Andro, Manipur
Get PDFEthnomedicine is the study of traditional medical knowledge, practices, and beliefs of various cultural and ethnic communities. It is an interdisciplinary field encompassing anthropology, medicine, botany, and pharmacology, aiming to understand and integrate indigenous healing systems into modern healthcare. Traditional medicine has played a crucial role in human societies for centuries, with the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating that nearly 80% of the global population relies on it for primary healthcare. The recognition of ethnomedicine as a distinct discipline in the 1960s highlighted its significance in addressing healthcare needs and preserving indigenous knowledge. A notable example of ethnomedicine can be found in Andro, a village in Manipur inhabited by the Chakpa community. The community has a rich tradition of using medicinal plants, many of which serve dual purposes as food items, spices, or snacks. Approximately 56% of these medicinal plants are collected from the wild, while 24% are cultivated, ensuring their sustainable use. This deep-rooted knowledge system plays a vital role in community health, reinforcing the importance of preserving traditional healing practices. The study of ethnomedicine is essential for bridging the gap between traditional and modern healthcare systems. By documenting and analysing traditional healing methods, researchers can identify bioactive compounds that may contribute to the development of new pharmaceutical drugs. Moreover, integrating ethnomedical knowledge into modern healthcare can enhance culturally sensitive medical practices and improve healthcare accessibility in indigenous and rural communities. Understanding and preserving ethnomedicine is crucial for global health and sustainable healthcare development. As modern medicine advances, recognizing the value of indigenous knowledge systems can foster a more holistic approach to healthcare. Future research should focus on validating traditional remedies through scientific studies while ensuring the ethical protection of indigenous knowledge and resources
Gender Disparities among Scheduled Tribes in Manipur: Trends and Determinants
Get PDFThis study examines gender disparities among Scheduled Tribes (STs) in Manipur, India, focusing on sex ratio, literacy rates, and work participation rates (WPR) using Census data from 1991, 2001, and 2011. The findings indicate a rising ST sex ratio, consistently exceeding the national average, attributed to egalitarian social structures and limited access to sex-selective technologies. While literacy rates have improved for both genders, a persistent yet relatively smaller gender gap remains, influenced by traditional norms and infrastructural limitations. The WPR gender gap among STs is narrower than in other social groups, as women actively engage in agriculture and economic activities out of necessity and cultural acceptance. Some tribal communities exhibit a reversed gender gap, with higher female literacy and WPR, while others continue to face disparities. The study highlights the need for targeted policies, enhanced infrastructure, and community-driven initiatives to foster gender inclusivity among Scheduled Tribes in Manipur.
