No full textIndian Courts and Social Change: A Case Study of the Doctrine of Informed Consent in Medical Law and Ethics
No full textThe doctrine of informed consent in medical law andethics has a strong grounding in the principle of bodilyautonomy and self-determination of human beings. Thisemphasis on the freedom of every individual to decidewhat is best for his/her body and health has led to severalcontroversies in the area of medical law and ethics inIndia and abroad, especially in the United Kingdom.Being a legal and ethical doctrine, „informed consent‟ hasbeen discarded, accepted, modified and emulated byvarious judgments of courts. This paper will examine theingenuity of courts in bringing about social change byupholding patient autonomy and adopting the doctrine ofinformed consent in the UK. However, this doctrine hasbeen rejected by the Indian Supreme Court, citing thereason that Indian citizens are unprepared and illequippedto understand the complexities of medicaltreatment and procedures. This view, in the author‟sopinion, is a missed opportunity for the Indian SupremeCourt to bring about social change by upholding patientrights and autonomy
A SCIENTIFIC EVALUATION OF AYURVEDIC DRUGS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2: AN EVIDENCE BASED REVIEW
No full textDiabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major challenging health problem of the 21st century. Prevalence of DM is rapidly rising throughout the globe where India leads with largest number of diabetics and became “Diabetes capital of the worldâ€. It refers to a heterogenous chronic metabolic disorder that shares the phenotype of hyperglycaemia. DM is caused by a complex interaction of genetic, behavioural and environmental factors. It results due to impaired insulin secretion or insulin resistance, decreased glucose utilization and increased glucose production. It is characterized by polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, fatigue, Dryness of mouth and throat, constipation and instance itching. Diabetes mellitus is of two types- Type I - IDDM (Jata pramehi or Sahajapramehi) Type II - NIDDM (Sthula pramehi and Apathyanimittaja pramehi).Ayurvedic management strategy of Apathayanimittajaprameha (type-2 diabetes mellitus) include Snehana (oleation), Shodhan and shaman treatments accompanied with suitable dietary and life style modification which has been found very effective. In Ayurvedic system of medicine various single herbs, herbal formulations, herbominerals and minerals are using popularly and very effectively in the treatment of Madhumeha i.e., Diabetes Mellitus type- 2. Many Ayurvedic drugs revalidated to having anti-diabetic and anti-hyperglycaemic activity by clinical and experimental study but many are awaited. In this study, the initiation have been taken to collect and compiled all the related information regarding Ayurvedic drugs used therapeutically that may facilitate further research works

No full textPrésentation orale ayant pour titre "Super-Resolution of Sentinel-2 multispectral images"International audienceWe present a new resolution enhancement model, with application to MODIS and Sentinel-2 data. For applications like land cover monitoring, the availability of multispectral bands at multiple resolutions limits the classification accuracy at full resolution. We introduce a new model to separate pixel content from color information at high-resolution bands. This sub-pixellic model is then applied to unmix low-resolution bands. This technique drastically improves the overall land cover classification accuracy, especially in the MODIS cases, and it is particularly effective on Sentinel-2 data
