Objective:To estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among adolescents attending school in the Jammu region, India.Materials and Methods:This is a cross-sectional study conducted between November 2009 and December 2010, among a total of 1160 school-going adolescents of both sexes aged 10-18 years. Relevant metabolic and anthropometric variables were analyzed and criteria suggested by National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel Third (NCEP-ATP III) modified forage was used to define metabolic syndrome.Results:The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 2.6%. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was higher in males (3.84%) than in females (1.6%) and slightly higher in urban area (2.80%) than in rural area (2.52%), whereas prevalence of metabolic syndrome among centrally obese subjects was as high as 33.33%. High density lipoprotein cholesterol was the most common and high blood pressure was the least common constituent of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome was most prevalent in 16-18 years age group (4.79%).Conclusion:This study demonstrates that metabolic syndrome phenotype exists in substantial number (up to 3%) of adolescent population in the Jammu region, India, and particularly 33% of obese adolescents are at risk to develop metabolic syndrome. These findings pose a serious threat to the current and future health of these young people.
IIntroduction. The cavernous sinus (CS) is a paired venous sinus in the human brain that is classified as a true dural venous sinus rather than a venous plexus. The entire CS is separated by septa into two small cavities called caves. The CS has a very close resemblance to various key structures present in the head. The CS is a blood compartment that contains ligaments, endothelium, and trabeculae. It is clinically significant because of its position and relationship with several cranial nerves. Clinical implications. For effective management and treatment of CS syndrome, CS thrombosis, carotid-cavernous fistula, and other CS-related problems, CS surgery became necessary. As a result of the lack of sophisticated surgical techniques in the past, CS surgery was exceedingly challenging, complicated, and deadly. The surgery of CSs can benefit from a variety of surgical procedures, including extradural and intradural, endoscopic endonasal, rhomboid, and temporopolar trans cavernous approaches. In this review, numerous surgical procedures for CS are discussed along with their intended uses. Conclusions. A greater understanding of the CS was made possible by the quick modifications and improvements in surgical methods, which aided in neurosurgery procedures.

Acharya Sushruta who is worshipped as the Father of surgery has described various modalities relating to both surgical and para surgical procedures. Agnikarma (Thermal Cautery), an ancient para surgical modality, Acharya Sushruta elaborated the concept of considering the feasibility and effectiveness of the use of Agni karma in numerous diseases. Which are still applicable in the present era. Agni karma (Thermal Cautery) has given a special place in surgery by Sushruta and it is believed that diseases treated by Agni karma (Thermal Cautery) never reoccur. Pain has been given utmost importance even in Ayurveda, Despite recent advances in pain management including anesthesia, its' management remains challenging. This article deals with the facts about pain, its management through the conceptual study of vitiation of Vata Dosha responsible for pain, with therapeutic procedure Agni krama utilized in Ayurveda with modern outlook. The proposed hypothesis of increase and decrease the bio signaling pathway leading to Dhatukshaya (depletion of body tissues) and Margavrodhjanya Vata Prakopa (obstructive vata prakopa) could pave the way in understanding the vitiation of Vata Dosha leading to inflammatory pathology. This article attempts to touch maximum aspect of pain management through Agni karma (Thermal Cautery).
Sandhigata Vata is Vatapradhana Vyadhi, which needs a specific target of therapeutic intervention to slow down the process of Dhatu Kshaya and to pacify Vata. We can correlate Sandhigata Vata with osteoarthritis (OA) on the basis of clinical features. OA is defined as a chronic joint disorder with progressive softening and disintegration of articular cartilage and bone at joint margin called osteophytes and capsular fibrosis. Matra Vasti of Panchtikta Guggulu Ghrita is effective in the management of Sandhivata. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of Matra Vasti of Panchtikta Guggulu Ghrita in the management of Sandhigata Vata (Osteoarthritis). Materials and method: Total 40 patients having signs and symptoms of Sandhivata were selected and randomly divided into two groups. In Group A (n=20), Laksha Guggulu 250mg 2tab for TDS and Group B (n=20) Laksha Guggulu in same dose with 50ml of Matra Vasti of Panchtikta Gugulu Ghrita for 16 days. Results: Statistical analysis of both groups comparison in right knee joint shows that there are no significant results in movement and swelling. In both group comparisons pain shows significant results. Conclusion: Matra Vasti of Panchtikta Guggulu Ghrita provided better results compared to Laksha Guggulu in the management of Sandhivata (Osteoarthritis).
