“…The mean S.Prolactin of all the infertile women was found to be 43.86±23.03ng/ml which was in agreement with observations made by Goswami B (47.73 ng/ml) and Turankar S (54.38ng/ml) emphasizing a higher occurrence of hyperprolactinemia in infertile women [9,21]. 54% of the infertile women were hypothyroid and 46% were euthyroid.…”

Hyperprolactinemia and Hypothyroidism adversely affects the fertility potential. The aim of our study was to assess the correlation between the Prolactin and Thyroid hormone levels amongst infertile females after excluding tubal and male factor. This hospital based descriptive study was conducted on 50 patients attending infertility clinic in Zenana Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SMS Medical College, Jaipur from Jan 2015 to Jan 2016. Hyperprolactinemia was observed in 64% of the infertile cases in our study. In our study 27 female had hypothyroidism, out of which 74.07% had subclinical hypothyroidism and 25.93% had overt hypothyroidism.18%of patients had both Hypothyroidism & Hyperprolactinemia. 33.3% of hypothyroid females had hyperprolactinemia. 28.3% of hyperprolactinemic patients had hypothyroidism. Hence, measurement of both S.TSH and S. Prolactin levels should be done in infertility work up and treatment should be initiated accordingly to fulfill a woman's dream of motherhood.

“…Similar results were obtained by Turankar S where the infertile group had a mean S.TSH of 9.05±2.64 mIU/ml. [21]. Awasthi K observed mean S.TSH of 6.12±2.34 mIU/ml in their study [13].…”

“…In a systematic review on the beneficial health effects of pranayama in respiratory, cardiovascular, and malignant diseases, the duration ranged from days to six months, with variation in duration per day from five minutes a day to 45 minutes twice a day [ 17 ]. Reduction in the frequency of attacks, severity, medication requirement, improvement of physiological variables, and improved QOL was reported in bronchial asthma.…”

Introduction The unpredictable course and sheer magnitude of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have sparked a search for novel and repurposed pharmacological interventions. Non-pharmacological interventions may also play a role in the management of this multifaceted disease. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and effect of yoga in hospitalized patients with moderate COVID-19. Methods Twenty patients satisfying the inclusion criterion were randomized (1:1 ratio) into Intervention and Control groups. Patients in the intervention arm performed a one-hour yoga session that included pranayama and Gayatri mantra (GM) chant for up to 14 days. Sessions were fully supervised by a trained yoga trainer via an online platform. Patients in both groups received the normal treatment as per national guidelines. Outcome parameters were recorded on the 14th day/end of the hospital stay. Results Yoga is safe and feasible in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The decline of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels was significantly greater in the Intervention Group. Quality of life (QOL), depression, anxiety, and fatigue severity scale (FSS) showed a decline in both groups with a significant decline observed in FSS scores of the Intervention Group. Median chest X-ray score values, duration of hospital stay, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) conversion days were observed to be lower in the Intervention Group but were not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion The study found that incorporating pranayama and GM practices in hospitalized patients with moderate COVID-19 pneumonia was safe and feasible. It showed a notable reduction in hs-CRP levels and FSS scores in the Intervention Group, but the study was not powered to detect statistically significant results. Further research with larger sample sizes is needed for conclusive findings.

Introduction: Sushruta stated that Sira Vedha (phlebotomy) at Right Elbow Joint was used as a cure for Liver Diseases. Modern science is likewise on the same page as phlebotomy treatment for some liver illnesses, although the specific location for phlebotomy has not been specified. Similarly, there is diversity in the amount of blood extracted and the time length, with each research study recommending a different amount to be removed and the gap between two sessions. Both of the previously listed things are mentioned in the context of Ayurveda. Nonetheless, due to a lack of clinical proof, it cannot be practiced reliably in normal exercise. As a result, clinical proof for liver illnesses is required to confirm Sushruta’s theory. Methodology: 111 eligible patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Grade I/II were randomly assigned to the control (group A) or trial (group B) groups in the pilot research (group B). After obtaining written informed permission, blood samples from each patient were collected for LFT and lipid profile testing. The patients in Group A were then just counseled to make dietary changes. Group B patients underwent dietary changes as well as Sira Vedha (phlebotomy) with 65 cc blood three times in 15 days. Checked hemoglobin before each phlebotomy for safety considerations before discontinuing the patient. The blood sample was taken before enrollment in the study and after the final follow-up, which was on the 60th day. Results: The serum results from the first and last follow-ups were compared. This study found that group B considerably improved in liver enzymes and lipid profile (P<0.050) when compared to group A. As a result, we may infer that phlebotomy can enhance liver enzymes and lipid profiles in NAFLD patients.
