The bacteriological evaluation of waste water from Kwata abattoir was carried out to determine the bacterial load present and if the waste water generated is suitable for direct discharge into the environment. A total of two samples were aseptically collected, in which the physicochemical analysis of the waste water showed objectionable color and odor, pH of 7.3 and 6.5, and temperature of 30.2°C and 25.3°C for samples A and B, respectively, of which the pH and temperature were within acceptable limits by WHO. The membrane filter method was used to determine the total coliform and thermotolerant coliform counts present per 100 mL of the samples using MacConkey agar and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar, respectively. The total viable count was obtained for both samples: 5.1×105 CFU/mL for sample A and 1.4×106 CFU/mL for sample B. Phenotypic and biochemical tests were carried out for four isolates, which include Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Bacillus spp., and Bacillus cereus. Thus, it can be concluded from the above study that untreated abattoir waste water contains a high level of pollutants, which supports the growth of the microbial population, as evidenced in the microbial study. Therefore, waste water has to be treated before discharge into the environment to protect public health and promote the safety of the environment.","PeriodicalId":13687,"journal":{"name":"Innovare Journal of Ayurvedic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82827275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Without early and optimal intervention, the wound can rapidly deteriorate and leading to amputation of the affected limb. Studies reveal that it is difficult to achieve the complete aim of wound management with a single drug. In the present study, Vipareeta Malla Taila is selected from Bhaishajaya Ratnavali and Yogaratnakar. It consists of Sindoor, Kushta, Hingu, Rason, Chitrka Root, Langali, Hartal, Sharpunka, Shudh Tutha, Shudh Samundrafena, etc. These drugs having properties of Vrana Shodhana (cleansing), Ropana (healing), Vedanashamana (analgesic), Shothaharana (anti-inflammatory and reducing swelling) and bactericidal. It is a single-blind clinically study where 20 patients were selected. The patient would were treated with Vipareeta Malla Taila. Vipareeta Malla Taila mentioned by Acharya Yogratnakar in the context of Vrana chapter is found efficacious in wound healing. The drug initially acts as a debriding agent removing slough and necrotic tissues and subsequently paves way for smooth and uninterrupted healing of the ulcer. Topical application of Vipareeta Malla Taila reduces pain, burning sensation, and itching. It also decreases discharge, edema, and also helps in gradual improvement in floor and granulation tissue. The semi-occlusive dressing of Vipareeta Malla Taila provides moist environment which enhances epithelialization, prevents scab formation, and can be easily removed from wound surface without causing pain or damage to the new growing epithelium. Hence, from the present clinical study, it can be speculated that Vipareeta Malla Taila possesses sufficient efficacy in Vrana Shodana and Vrana Ropana without producing any adverse effects.","PeriodicalId":13687,"journal":{"name":"Innovare Journal of Ayurvedic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79023071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many natural-based products such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, iso-flavones, and polyunsaturated fatty acids play major role in therapeutic ability to degrade, slow down, and recondition the amyloid protein (amyloid protein inhibitors). These compounds extracted from plants have shown consequential potential in in vitro studies as well as in vivo studies. For requisite for brain nutritive growth, omega 3 fatty acids are important, whereas ß-carotene plays indispensable role in cognitive impairment and oxidative stress in the brain. It is described that omega 3 fatty acids are extracted from the source (flaxseed) by oil press method and ß-carotene is synthesized by physiochemical process from carrot. The main objective of this particular research topic is to provide more effectiveness in detaining the growth of amyloid protein inhibitors in brain. It is observed that the product with omega 3 and ß-carotene slow down the protein aggregation more efficiently than omega 3 capsules alone and intra-cerebroventricular injected streptozotocin. This can be determined by in silico activity of acetylcholinesterase. The analyses show extensive reciprocity between inhibitors and amyloid proteins. The administration of omega 3 with ß-carotene depreciates the amyloid protein aggregates more efficiently. Hence, it is suggested that the product can be used as treatment for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.","PeriodicalId":13687,"journal":{"name":"Innovare Journal of Ayurvedic Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83351190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acharya Charaka called it Janapadodhwamsa, Acharya Sushruta called it Maraka, and Acharya Bhela called it Janamaar. There are four factors that have been described which are common and essential for every living being, that is, Vayu (air), Jala (water), Desha (land), and Kaala (season). Among these four factors, Kaala is mainly main factor. Any abnormal alteration in these four factors can significantly influence individual or community or environment or all of them together. Vitiation of these four common factors is the cause for Janapadodhwamsa. Foremost reason for Janapadodhwamsa has been described as Adharma (immorality) and the root cause of Adharma is said to be Pragyaparadha (delinquency of wisdom). Considering the note worthiness of Janapadodhwamsa, a whole chapter has been depicted in CharakaSamhita illustrating its onset, causes, peculiar features, and management. Its causative agents, method of prevention has been clearly explained.
