Withania somnifera, Dunal (Solanaceae) has long been used as a herb in Siddha and other indigenous medicine and has received intense attention in recent years for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and chemopreventive properties. The present study focuses on the effect of the fresh root of W. somnifera in the management of pain in degenerative disorders of lumbar region(lower back). A clinical trial was conducted with 20 samples and they were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The fresh root of amukkura kizangu (Withania somnifera) is pulverized and gomiyam (Cow urine) is added to it. This medley is heated in woodfire and applied for 12 consecutive days in the region of pain. As amukkura possesses both anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, application of herbal poultice on the painful area of the skin works by the mechanism of transdermal route of absorption. Pain was assessed before and after the study using back pain functional scale (BPFS). Significant changes in the score was observed which indicates a dramatic incline from a severity score of 20 – 30 to a better score of 35-50 out of total score 60. Thus amukkura kizangu pattru(poultice) was found to be more effective in management of pain in degenerative disorders(Arthritis) of lumbar region.

Origin of cratering features on meteorites surface

Cratering features are observed on the surface of planetary bodies and on their moon’s surface, small size cratering features are observed on the surface of moons, asteroids, meteoroids, and meteorites. To investigate in detail the formation or the cause or origin of small size cratering features on the surface of meteorites, five iron meteorites namely Sikhote Alline – 1 No., Campo-del Cielo – 2 No., unknown iron meteorites – 3 Nos and a stony meteorite Chelyabinsk were undertaken with respect to earth rocks. From the studies conducted, it is concluded that the cratering features observed on meteorites are from the time our present solar system came into existence, it may either be pre-solar dust, present solar dust or fragments from the supernova explosion. This paper reports or documents a detail study to search the cause or origin of small size cratering features on the meteorite surface, which is one of the most important characteristic feature in recognizing a meteorite from a terrestrial rock.

Prevalence of depression among elderly people in old age homes, Chandigarh

In India, there has been a considerable increase in the elderly population. According to census 2011, there are nearly 104 million elderly persons in India. A systemic review reported a median prevalence of 21.9% for depression among the elderly in India. Amongst the elderly population due to factors such as chronic illness loneliness and financial dependence they are more prone to depression as compared to other populations. OBJECTIVES- To assess the prevalence of depression among elderly people residing in the old age home in Chandigarh and its association with socio-demographic variables. METHODS- Three old age homes were selected randomly out of which 50 elderly people were selected through a convenient sampling technique. GDS was applied in all the individuals to assess the depression prevalence. RESULTS- This study showed that males were having more severe depression as compared to females. Mild depression was greater among females. There was a significant association of religion (p=0.05) and sex (p = 0.01) with depression. Those who were financially dependent had greater depression as compared to those who were financially independent. CONCLUSION- Depressive disorder was highly prevalent among the elderly population residing in the old age homes.

Prevalence and risk factors of non -communicable disease among population attending medical camp organized by Ayush Healthcare in Bakhtawarpur, Delhi

An unhealthy lifestyle that includes exposure of an individual to risk factors such as smoking and alcohol with lack of physical activity and hereditary characteristics of some diseases may lead to non communicable disease which is currently the leading cause of preventable death and disability in India and the four major identified non communicable disease(NCDs) are diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease(heart attacks and strokes) and cancer. NCDs are the leading cause of death, accounting for over 60% of all mortality cases in India placing them ahead of communicable disease, Maternal, prenatal and nutritional conditions (WHO 2014). India being the populous country of about 1.3 billion, contributes more than 2/3rd of total death due to NCDs (WHO, 2014; united nation statistics division). Methods-A cross-sectional study was carried out in July 2019 in the population above 30 years of age attending the medical check-up camp organized by Ayush Healthcare, BakhtawarPur, Delhi. A quantitative approach was used to assess the population. Sample Size was 50 and used a convenient sampling technique. Data collection tool was CBAC form of NPCDCS containing 6 parameters to assess population under having the risk of NCDs & clinical examination was done using BP apparatus, Glucometer, height and weight measurement. The method of data collection was the Clinical examination and interview technique. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Conclusion-Prevalence of risk of NCD using CBAC was found to be significantly associated with family history (P= 0.001 ODR=14) ,physical activity (P=0.003, ODR=15.1 ) and smoking (P=0.02) , RBS (P =0.002, ODR=10.6), systolic BP (P=0.04 ODR=5). When Clinical parameters were used to identify the risk of having NCD, it was found that variable like sex (P=0.03 ODR=0.2), family history (P=0.01, ODR=9.5) , waist measurement (P=0.02) , BMI (P=0.01 ODR=0.69) , RBS (P=0.02 ODR=0.69) Systolic BP (P<0.001 , ODR=0.47) and diastolic BP (P<0.001, ODR = 0.56) were statistically associated with risk of NCD.
