A Physiological Study of Twaca w.s.r. to Effectiveness of Madhucchishta and Jatyadi Taila in Padadari
Get PDFAyurveda considers Padadari under Kshudra roga which has been first described in Sushruth Samhita. Padadari is one of the most commonest and negligible diseases, highly prevalent in rural areas. Vruddha Vata Dosha is related to Padadari. It is characterised by minor to severe cracks on the feet, more frequently on the heels. In severe conditions, it causes Vedana, Daha, Rookshata and occasionally Raktasrava. Here, Madhuchchista and Jatyadi Taila being cost and medically more effective are used as remedy for Padadari. An open labelled clinical trial has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Malahar prepared using Madhuchchista and Jatyadi Taila in Padadari. Material and Method: Whole pharmaceutical procedure was carried out in the sequence of Madhuchchista and Jatyadi Taila preparation. Ratio of 1:5 of Madhuchchista and Jatyadi Taila for preparing Sikta Taila was selected and prepared for the preparation of Padadari Malahar. Result: Response to the treatment was recorded on a weekly basis and therapeutic effect was evaluated through symptomatic relief. Conclusion: The study yielded statistically highly significant results in symptoms such as dryness (P<0.001), roughness (P<0.001) and cracks associated with pain (P<0.001)
Significance of Pathya - Apathya in Present Era
Get PDFAyurveda is not only a medical science it is a holistic science of life. The aim of Ayurveda is promoting and preserving the health of individual and to cure from diseases. Pathyas are food substance and lifestyle of Ayurveda management line. Those drugs and regimes which are not harmful to channels and please the mind are considered as Pathya, and Sadapathya dravyas are such food which are good for most of the healthy individuals. Wholesome diet or Pathya plays equal role in management of any disease, it is essential to follow dietetic rules and regimes in order to curing diseases so that keep their Dhatu in a healthy state and will not let them get vitiated more from Doshas. The food which is prescribed according to disease by physician plays important role in successful treatment and it’s also prescribed as prophylactic and interventional diet. The concepts of Pathya and Apathya ahara vihara (diet and lifestyle) are still relevant and significant in the modern period as they offer a holistic approach to health, disease prevention, immunity boosting, and personalized care based on Ayurvedic principles
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Review of Medicinal Properties and Pharmacological Potential of Madhucchista & Jatyadi Taila w.s.r. to Malahar Kalpana
Get PDFThe fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle, according to Ayurveda include following a regular schedule for Ahara-Vihar and Aachar depending on Hetu (material cause), Kala (season) and Desha (habitat). Poor hygiene and inconsistent eating habits are brought on by such a lifestyle. All these elements disrupt Dinacharya\u27s natural balance and contribute to frequent skin issues. Ayurveda has mentioned two types of treatment in skin disorders, Antahparimarjan and Bahirparimarjan which means respectively systemic and local therapy. One such Malahar used in skin disorders/skin cracks is Madhucchista and Jatyadi taila malahar. It is a classical formulation mentioned in Rasatarangini. The main ingredients are Madhucchista and Jatyadi Taila. This formulation is mentioned in eleventh Taranga of Rasatarangini. The drug Madhucchista has long been used as a ground component of ointments, and this practise is still prevalent today because moisturisers currently on the market still contain the ingredient. The medicine for external application as well as the base in numerous formulations has been described by Charaka, Sushruta, and Vagbhata, who have also referenced it in the treatment of Vatarakta, Vrana, Kushtha, and Vipadika. In the Bhasmaka Chikitsa, Charaka employed it internally. Jatyadi Taila being an Ayurvedic oil is used for wound healing in fissures, piles, and fistula. It speeds up the wound healing processes and results in quick recovery from these diseases. Local application of Jatyadi Taila helps in quick healing of fissures. It reduces pain, heals the cracks. This Malahar base helps in healing the skin by its Vrana Ropaka, Dashahara, Komalata property, reducing pain and swelling and thus, prevents further cracking. Cosmetically, it softens the skin and prevents from further roughening and cracking. So, it renders both therapeutic efficacy and cosmetic property
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
