Vatarakta a Mahavatavyadhi is a burning problem in present era. Here, both vata and rakta are responsible for complex effects in the joints. The status of Vatarakta (gout) is often compared with Gout in the allied sources due to the outstanding similarities. The present study has been conducted to evaluate Antihyperuricemic activity of Shodhita Shilajatu following its 7-days repeated oral administration on potassium oxonate induced hyperuricemic rat model. Antihyperuricemic activity of Shodhita (purified) Shilajatu (Asphaltum punjabinum -Black bitumen or mineral pitch) was studied in hyperuricemia induced in wistar albino rats using potassium oxonate. The uric acid levels in serum and urine were measured and histopathological study of Kidneys was evaluated. In potassium oxonate induced hyperuricemia, standard drug allopurinol and trial drug significantly lowered the serum uric acid levels. Urine analysis shows the presence of uric acid crystals in both the groups. When the results were compared it was found to be higher in the test group which suggests better uric acid excretion efficacy of Shilajatu. Histological examination of the kidney sections from all the groups showed moderate changes in Potassium oxonate administered control group which were significantly reduced in reference standard and moderately reversed in test drug administered group.
This paper is aimed at defining the process of automating the operation of electronic devices, in this case, street lights of a certain campus or area where there is a reliable network connection. This is achieved by using a microcontroller to control the target electronic device wirelessly instead of operating the electronic device manually and a relay to electromagnetically provide the functioning of a switch and also use a step-down converter to regulate voltage and convert it from 220v AC to 5v DC. The microcontroller used is the ESP8266 (NodeMCU) as this microcontroller has inbuilt Wi-Fi module that can suffice connecting to a network helping us in reaching the goal of wirelessly operating electronic devices. This is a step in the direction of a smart world where internet of things is the way of communication between all electronic devices and efficient utilization of this system saves a lot of energy and there will be lesser need of human intervention. This is an efficient step in the right direction of digitizing routine tasks and have much more control over them as opposed to being present physically near the electronic device.
