Need and Purpose of Manuscript Cataloguing in Ayurved

Ayurveda, as an ancient system of medicine, possesses a vast repository of textual knowledge encapsulated in manuscripts. However, the scattered nature of this manuscript presents significant challenges for scholars and practitioners alike. This study reviewing the importance, difficulties facing for compiling manuscript catalogues in Ayurved. This paper elucidates the objectives of promoting awareness and emphasizing the importance of manuscript cataloguing as a primary source for Ayurvedic researchers. This paper outlines the methodology employed to compile and analyze literature on manuscript cataloguing in Ayurveda, with a focus on elucidating the need and purpose of this practice. It discusses the challenges in accessing Ayurvedic knowledge and how a well-designed catalogue can bridge this gap

The Role of Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa in Ayurveda: A Focus on Upavas Chikitsa

Introduction: The disease preventive and health leading approach of ‘Ayurveda’, which takes into consideration the whole body, mind and spirit while dealing with the maintenance of health. In the realm of traditional Indian medicine, Ayurveda, and its holistic approach to health and wellness, the concept of Daivayavpashraya Chikitsa holds significant importance.  Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa is one of the three treatment modalities listed in Charak Samhita for Shririk Dosha (bodily elements) and Manasik Dosha (psychological attributes). This ancient healing philosophy emphasizes the integration of natural elements and practices to restore balance and promote well-being. Among its various modalities, Upavas Chikitsa, or therapeutic fasting, stands out as a potent therapeutic tool. Objectives:1)To review literature related to the concept of Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa.2)To find out details about Upavas Chikitsa. Material and Methods: Ayurveda text, Ayurveda Samhita, published articles are review for compilation and analysis of the concepts. Discussion and Conclusion:  Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa works on the basis on Prabhava (unknown /unexplainable mode of action, not undergoing digestion but showing its action) Upavas Chikitsa is not merely about abstaining from food; it involves a structured approach tailored to individual constitution (Prakriti), health conditions, and seasonal variations

LOFAR search for radio emission from galaxies hosting tidal disruption events

Radio emission from 23 tidal disruption event host galaxies were searched in the 144 MHz LOFAR-LoTSS2 images. Three host galaxies are detected with diffuse radio emission, which can be interpreted as either galactic synchrotron radio emission or diffuse radio halo in dense galactic environments. Non-detection of (transient) radio emission in majority of galaxies could be due to self-absorption of radio emission associated with the tidal disruption event. The detected objects are AT2018iih, RBS 1032, and NGC 5905. Non-detection for Sw 1644+57 is also reported.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, In Research Notes AAS (RNAAS

Thoracic reconstruction of exposed lung by contralateral pectoralis major muscle flap

Chest wall defects are defined as defects with variable loss of skin, muscles, and rib cage with exposed pleura or lung. The exposed lung is a life-threatening emergency and requires urgent intervention to restore airtight closure. We use contralateral pectoralis major muscle turnover flap to obliterate dead space and airtight closure for full thickness right-sided chest wall injury with exposed lungs

Applications of microbes in bioremediation of point source pollutants from wastewater

Water pollution is the major concern of this era. Industrial developments, agriculture patterns, construction processes and unsustainable mining have contributed to increased level of pollutants in most of the fresh water bodies across the globe. This review categorizes different sources of water pollution and focuses on remediation of wastewater through microbial applications. The point source pollutants can be remediated using 'at source' microbial bioreactor installations. This work concludes that hybrid biofilm reactors and membrane bioreactors can be utilize for the removal of micro-pollutants. However, anaerobic bioreactors are more efficient in treating wastewater having high concentration of organic matter

Management Practices, Perceived Constraints and Estimation of Biochemical Parameters in Indigenous Goats of Gwalior City of Central India

Aim: A study was conducted in order to analyze goat rearing practices prevailing in the Gwalior City of Central India and to identify the constraints in goat farming. Study Design: Data of ninety six indigenous goats of 2 to 5 age group from thirty respondents from the district was collected. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in Gwalior City of Central India during July 2023. Methodology: The data pertaining to goat rearing practices being followed and constraints being faced were collected with the help of pre-structured interview schedule after ensuring its reliability and validity. To evaluate the nutritional status of the animals the blood sample of twenty four randomly selected female goats of 2 to 5 years of age was taken from Jugular vein for the normal biochemical profile. Results: It was observed that total protein and serum calcium level was significantly lower than normal value, while. Alkaline phosphates, SGOT and SGPT and blood urea levels are higher than the normal values. Conclusion: It is concluded that goats reared on extensive system of rearing have poor reproductive performance (higher age at first kidding and kidding interval and low twinning rate) due to lack of scientific management and feeding practices by goat farmers of Gwalior City of Central Indi

Quantum chemical investigation of the reaction of O(<SUP>3</SUP>P<SUB>2</SUB>) with certain hydrocarbon radicals

The reaction of ground-state atomic oxygen [O(3P2)] with methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and isopropyl radicals has been studied using the density functional method and the complete basis set model. The energies of the reactants, products, reaction intermediates and various transition states as well as the reaction enthalpies have been computed. The possible product channels and the reaction pathways are identified in each case. In the case of methyl radical the minimum energy reaction pathway leads to the products CO + H2 + H. In the case of ethyl radical the most facile pathway leads to the products, methanal + CH3 radical. For propyl radical (n- and iso-), the minimum energy reaction pathways would lead to the channel containing ethanal + methyl radical

A quick and selective rhodamine based “smart probe” for “signal-on” optical detection of Cu²⁺ and Al³⁺ in water, cell imaging, computational studies and solid state analysis

A novel rhodamine hydrazone 1 has been synthesized by the condensation of rhodamine B hydrazide with allylsalicylaldehyde and has been fully characterized using various physicochemical techniques including single crystal XRD. Probe 1 can detect Cu2+ and Al3+ ions in aqueous media and displays a turn-on response in absorbance with a high degree of selectivity amongst other common interfering analytes. Al3+ ions lead to fluorescence enhancementby the opening of the spirolactum ring resulting in chelation enhanced fluorescence. DFT and TDDFT calculations support the experimental results. The 1-Al3+ ensemble acts as secondary sensor for pyrophosphate anion due to metal ion induced decomplexation resulting in a low detection limit. Probe 1 can be utilized for bio imaging and displays morphological transformations from crystalline to amorphous state with associated color changes due to mechanical switching. In the solid state, probe 1 displays distinct color changes with emission at different wavelengths in particular Al3+ and Hg2+result in a red shift of the CIE-diagram. While the band gap of probe 1can be tuned from 2.08 eV to 1.60 eV.Probe 1 meets many real-world-challenges in that it is prepared using simple synthetic methods, produces fast and distinct response towards multiple-ions, observed by the “naked eye” in solution and on a TLC plate, and can be exploited for binary data storage
