Abstract

Cancer is a generic term that is used for various diseases that develop in any part of the body. Hearing about the diagnosis of cancer is very stressful and terrifying for everyone. Because we know what can be the result of this disease, how well can our medicines control the growth of this disease. We know this disease is difficult to treat and some other terms are also used to define cancers like malignant tumours, and neoplastic growths. In this disease, abnormal cells grow beyond their usual boundaries and can invade near structures that are healthy, it is called metastasis. This is the main cause of death in the recent few years. In this article, we are going to discuss cancer, its causes, symptoms, and ayurvedic management of this disease.

Introduction

Cancer causes abnormal growth of cells to divide uncontrollably and spreads all over the body. It can start from anywhere and can be spread up to million-billions of cells. The normal mechanism of the body is for human cells to grow and multiply in the body and after some time or according to the life span of the cell they become old and die after some time interval. They die and new cells take their place; this is a natural mechanism that happens in everyone's body. Cells growth may be called cancerous or non-cancerous, non-cancerous is benign in nature, it doesn't spread just like a lump of tissue.

What Causes Cancer?

Cancer starts from the division of normal cells into cancerous cells in different stages. Cancer is caused due to mutation in the cells. This is all due to the changes in the person's genetic factors and various external factors.

The incidence of cancer starts according to age, and builds up the risks for specific cancers that leads to higher chances of having cancer with age. Some specific genetic changes lead to developing the proto-oncogenes, tumour suppressor genes, and the repairing of DNA genes, which are called 'drivers' of cancer.

Gene mutations do -

• Rapid cell growth leads to creating a lump of the same mutated cells.
• Fails to stop the uncontrolled growth and collide with healthy cells and engulfs them to change into cancerous cells.

Symptoms

Symptoms vary according to the affected site, but here we are discussing some general signs and symptoms -

• Fatigue

• Changes in weight
• Changes in skin colour

Risk Factors

• Age - This is common after mid-age, else there are more chances to develop this disease in the older stage but it can occur at any age.
• A sedentary lifestyle can be a major risk factor for the development of cancer. Persistent alcohol intake, increased sun exposure, and direct UV radiation can develop various types of cancers.
• If there is a history of cancer in the family then the chances of getting diagnosed with cancer may increase.
• Environmental issues like the smoke from cigarettes, or exposure to any chemical fumes, may play a major role in developing cancer.

Facts About Cancer

• Cancer is a leading cause of death all over the world. Around 1 in 6 people died due to cancer last year. Last year approx 10 million people died due to this condition.
• These incidents are increased due to increased alcohol intake, tobacco consumption, low fibrous diet, and less physical activities.
• Most commonly occurring cancers are lung, breast, colon, rectum, and prostate.
• Cancers can be treated well if detected in early stages.

Stargardt Disease & Its Treatment With Herbal Remedies

Abstract

Stargardt disease is a genetic condition, a common form of macular dystrophy or also known as fundus flavimaculatus that is caused by tiny alterations on the genetic level. This is an eye-related disorder, the eyes are the organs that help us to see the world, and many parts of the eye work together to bring the objects into focus and share useful information with the brain. The eye consists of various parts like the sclera, cornea, iris, pupil, retina, and lens, along with various muscles and other structures. All these vital parts of the eyes play significant roles and important functions resulting in the perception of vision. If some injuries or any type of trauma occurs to these parts they may lose their functioning capacity and may hinder their vision. In Stargardt disease, the vision is affected and is known as an inherited disorder. In this article writing, we will discuss the causes, symptoms, and Ayurvedic management of this disease.

Introduction

Stargardt disease is an inherited eye disorder that disturbs the vision, and may lead to total vision loss. This condition is also called macular dystrophy, this condition can be noticed in early childhood or in adolescent age and even in adult age in a very few cases. In Stargardt disease, there is a deposition of a fatty layer on the macula of the eye, macula is a small structure located in the retina of the eye and is highly responsible for the sharp, central vision. This disease is said to be genetic because it is passed to children by their parents.

What are the Causes of Stargardt Disease?

If we have discussed that it is a genetic disorder then genetic changes must happen to a particular gene that is named ABCA4. This gives a great impact on the absorption of Vitamin A in the body. And as we know Vitamin A is very important to produce the cells in the retinal tissue which is located at the back of the eye, it is a light-sensitive layer of the tissue.

The main function of the ABCA4 gene is to clarify the fatty material by synthesising a protein. So in this Stargardt disease, this gene is ineffective, and can't do its work, and as a result, a fatty layer starts to clog the macula and after some time, this fatty layer leads to killing the light-sensitive cells and also destroys the central vision. This disease is said to be inherited, so it may be caused if parents are already suffering from this condition.

What are the Symptoms of Stargardt Disease?

• The most common symptom is loss of central vision slowly or gradually in both eyes. Some may lose their vision quickly or some may take time.
• Spotting of grey colour, black colour, or hazy spots may be seen in the centre of the vision.
• Light sensitivity is a peculiar effect in this condition.
• Unable to focus when the light effect changes like going from light to dark places.
• Visual acuity starts demolishing slowly and fastens with time and suddenly goes off.
• Over time peripheral vision loss may occur.

How will your doctor Diagnose Stargardt Disease?

Stargardt disease can be checked by dilating the pupils. This is done by adding some drops of pupil dilator solution to widen the pupils and then check for the signs of Stargardt disease, it will be seen as yellow colour fatty layer deposition in flecks form on the macula.

• Colour vision testing
• Electroretinography
• Genetic testing
• Fundus photography

Ayurvedic View For Stargardt Disease

This condition is developed due to genetic and hereditary conditions, so in Ayurveda this concept of genetic structure is correlated with beeja, beeja bhag and with beej bhag avyava. When these are vitiated it shows its impact on the chromosomes and genetic structures, and also on the tridoshas that are vata, pitta and kapha. So to manage this condition effectively we have to balance the doshas and beej dushti that can be done by effective formulations. Our Acharyas have mentioned the treatment of these types of diseases in classical textbooks. Planet Ayurveda provides those medications for the needful persons by using classical methods to prepare them and modify them according to the severity of the disease.

This anterior chamber of the eye is filled with a clear fluid that is referred to as aqueous humour, folds of the posterior chamber that are named ciliary processes are responsible to make this fluid, then cross through the pupils into the anterior chambers of the eyes. This pooling of blood may cover a maximum part of the iris and pupil and may hamper the vision, halfly or completely. A hyphema is a very painful condition, if not treated on time then it may cause permanent damage to the vision problems.

What Causes Hyphema?

A most common cause is -

• Blunt eye trauma can be caused due to sports injuries.

• Decrease in vision or a loss of vision
• Pain around the eyes.
• Sensitivity to the light.
• Vision with a red tint.
• If someone is having microhyphema then it may have slightly blurred or normal vision, but if someone is not having vision anymore, then this will be a complete hyphema.
• This condition may improve with time when the blood gradually goes down and accumulates in between the iris and cornea or in the anterior chamber of the eye.
• Complete hyphema condition is the most severe in which the blood fills the chamber entirely.

Facts About Hyphema

• The incidence of traumatic hyphema is 15 out of 1,00,000 people but this commonly occurs in children.
• Males are more prone to get this disease because they are more involved in gaming activities as compared to females.

Ayurvedic View Of Hyphema

In Ayurveda, there are various Vetra rogas, that are mentioned by Acharya Charak, Acharya Sushrut, Ashtang Hruday, etc. Hyphema is a condition in which pitta dosha and rakta dhatu get vitiated. It can be caused by abhighata (Trauma) to the native place of the eye. Then due to these factors netra srotas are being vitiated by kapha dosha and its gunas, it shows its powerful effects on the intraocular circulation and the drainage of the affected area slows down. So in this disease, we used to balance all the doshas and do the treatment that is pitta and rakta dosha shamak and is rasayana in nature.

Herbal Remedies for Cauda Equina Syndrome

ABSTRACT

It is very rightly said, if you seek health, look first to the spine. Hence, describing the importance of the spine for the health of the body very well. Spine is considered to be the central support structure of the body. It is a bony structure that protects the spinal cord and helps to bend, sit or twist.

This condition will be described in detail along with its causes, symptoms, management, and ayurvedic perspective, etc. in the following article.

INTRODUCTION

Cauda equina is a latin word translated as the horse tail. The cauda equina is the end part of the spinal cord where there is a collection of nerves. Due to resemblance of this part with the tail of the horse, it is referred to as cauda equina. The cauda equina syndrome is marked as a condition in which there is abnormality or dysfunction of multiple nerve roots such as the lumbar and sacral, etc. of the cauda equina. It is an emergency condition that requires regent medical attention. Unavailability of appropriate medical help can worsen the situation and have adverse results such as paralysis, impaired bladder and bowel movements, and various other neurological conditions, etc. The causes of cauda equina are described as follows.

CAUSES OF CAUDA EQUINA SYNDROME

There could be a variety of causes underlying the condition of cauda equina syndrome which will differ from patient to patient. The most common cause being the presence of a herniated disc of large size in the lumbar region. Various other possible causes of cauda equina syndrome include congenital deformities (birth defect), lumbar spine stenosis, lesions or tumors in the spine, etc. There can be iatrogenic causes also such as spinal anesthesia or as a postoperative complication of lumbar spine surgery. These causes along with numerous other causes can result in various presentations of the cauda equina syndrome which will be described as follows.

SYMPTOMS OF CAUDA EQUINA SYNDROME

The cauda equina syndrome is characterized by a wide range of features which depends on the extent of compression of the nerve roots. The patient may experience few or all of the following features such as -

• Disturbed urine urge - The patient does not feel the urge to pass urine or the normal sensation to urinate even when his/ her bladder is filled with urine.
• Reduced or no voluntary control over urine and bowel movement - The patient may experience incontinence of urine due to the overful bladder and the anal sphincter dysfunction will lead to fecal incontinence.
• The patient may experience pain and weakness in various parts of the body. Pain may be observed most commonly in the back or legs.

If there is presence of these features in anyone, he/she must be provided with urgent medical attention and detailed evaluation should be performed to identify or diagnose the condition.

DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT

Diagnosing the cauda equina syndrome will require the detailed medical history of the patient. There can be different types of diagnostic tests that will be helpful in diagnosing the cauda equina syndrome such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT (Computed tomography) scan and myelogram, etc. After the diagnosis, immediate medical management must be provided. The line of treatment according to the modern system of medicine will indicate surgery as the main aim will be to remove the compression from the nerve roots. Urgent medical attention is required to deal with the scenario appropriately, in lack of the management, consequences may be very severe such as permanent paralysis and incontinence. Let’s discuss the ayurvedic perspective of the cauda equina syndrome.

AYURVEDIC ASPECT

The cauda equina syndrome presents similarities with various conditions described in ayurveda such as gridhrasi, khanja and pangu. It should not be designated with one name but can be associated with dushti of the vata dosha. There are five types of vata dosha mentioned in the ayurvedic texts namely, prana vayu, udana vayu, samana vayu, vyana vayu and apana vayu. In the condition of cauda equina syndrome, there is vitiation or dushti of the vata vaha srotas and considering the clinical manifestations, the affected regions are the adho nabhgata region and the vyana vayu and apana vayu are more prominently vitiated. The treatment methodology will target the equilibrium of the vata dosha levels to restore the health of the body. This can be achieved by using various ayurvedic formulations such as vrihat vat chintamani ras, ashwagandharishta, dashmularishta, etc. These ayurvedic formulations beneficial for the patients of cauda equina syndrome will be described as follows.

Ayurvedic Correlation & Indicators Of Hemapheresis

Abstract

The measurement of viscosity of blood plasma using in vitro techniques only gives us partial information about the characteristics of blood flow however they provide information regarding the rheological properties of blood which is helpful in developing new hemorheological therapeutic modalities. In the past few years the evidence based approaches have given us a better way to understand the clinical role of therapeutic hemapheresis in various diseases for patients which gives better results and information regarding the different uses of therapeutic hemapheresis.

Hemapheresis treatment is used for different spectrums of illness.In this procedure abnormal cells are removed from blood to treat the hematologic, oncologic and neurological disorders. Replacement of abnormal cells with the normal constituent of blood also help in increasing the immunity, improving the retico endothelial function or increase the responses of conventional therapy. Therapeutic hemapheresis with the use of automated blood processing equipment is very useful in selectively deplete, exchange, replace or atleast manipulation of soluble blood components.

Procedure Of Hemapheresis

Hemapheresis is the procedure which involves removal of blood from a patient or donor. It is done with the help of a centrifuge machine which helps to separate the components of blood after this separation. One which needs to be drawn is withdrawal and rest of the components transfused back in the body of the patient or donor. Blood components which are separating and withdrawn out are:

1. Plasma - plasmapheresis
2. Platelet - plateletpheresis

CAUSES OF HAND, MOUTH AND FOOT DISEASE

The cause for hand, mouth and foot disease is the virus which belongs to the Enterovirus family. The virus called Coxsackievirus A16 is responsible for causing this condition.

According to Ayurveda, if your body is having a strong defence system no virus can cause harm to you. The viruses are called agantuk karan for the development of disease. But these agantuk karan can only cause harm when your body’s vyadhi shamatv is henna, which means the fighting capacity of the body with the bacterias and viruses is low. This makes the body prone to being attacked by the microorganisms and hence results in dosha imbalance. In this the thermal energy of the body is being disturbed that is pitta dosha.

SPREAD OF HAND, MOUTH AND FOOT DISEASE

The spread of the causative agent Coxsackievirus A16 is through coughs, sneezes, poo and fluid which is secreted from the blisters. One can start spreading this virus even before getting the symptoms. The most common spread routes are as follows:

• A person with infection when sneezing or coughing or blowing their nose near you. The tiny droplets from their mouth can spread the virus, easy and quick.
