Observational research on the effect of an Ayurvedic treatment protocol in patients of hereditary pancreatitis
Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is a chronic genetic disorder with limited treatment options. This study evaluated the efficacy of a year-long Ayurvedic Treatment Protocol (ATP) in 151 patients, 88 of whom completed the program. The treatment included Ayurvedic formulations, dietary adjustments, and discontinuation of pancreatic enzymes. Results showed a 92.8% reduction in attack frequency and a 98.7% decrease in hospitalizations (p < 0.0001), with no adverse effects. ATP demonstrated safety and effectiveness in managing HP, suggesting the need for further research.
Clinical Intervention of Ayurvedic Treatment in the Patients of Recurrent Acute/Chronic Pancreatitis
The study of 1233 acute pancreatitis patients found that 12.9% experienced oral feeding intolerance (OFI). Risk factors included younger age, male sex, alcohol use, smoking, non-biliary etiology, and SIRS at 48h. SIRS at 48h (OR 2.85) and non-biliary etiology (OR 1.77) were independently linked to OFI, with biliary etiology being protective.
Demographic Pattern of Pancreatitis Patients in India – A Hospital-based Study
A hospital-based study on 2,050 pancreatitis patients across India found that 83% were male, with an average age of 24 years, and 75% aged between 19–45. Alcohol use was reported by 33.6% and tobacco by 18.4%, while genetic and gallstone-related causes accounted for 8.8% and 5% respectively. The findings suggest emerging lifestyle and regional risk factors, but broader studies are needed for definitive insights.
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia: 37 Years Long Ongoing Survival in a de novo Patient with Metal-Based Ayurvedic Treatment
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) is a subtype of leukemia marked by anemia, infections, and bleeding. It is diagnosed through bone marrow tests and the PML-RARα fusion gene. Recent treatments with ATRA and arsenic trioxide have improved survival rates, but challenges like side effects and relapses remain. A 1982 case of a patient who survived 37 years without standard treatment suggests potential alternative therapies.
Prevalence of Anemia among Pregnant Women and Adolescent Girls in 16 Districts of India
Nutritional anemia is widespread in India, affecting 84.9% of pregnant women and 90.1% of adolescent girls. Severe anemia is prevalent in both groups. The Government of India provides iron and folic acid to pregnant women, but no similar program exists for adolescent girls. Interventions should address iron, B12, and folic acid deficiencies.
CA19-9 lowering effect of Ayurvedic Mineral Complex in the patients of Chronic Pancreatitis
CA19-9, a marker for pancreatic cancer, is elevated in pancreatitis and some gastrointestinal cancers. An Ayurvedic Mineral Complex (AMC) has shown promise in lowering CA19-9 levels in pancreatitis patients. This finding could lead to further research on AMC as a preventive therapy for pancreatic cancer in such patients. This study reports on 43 pancreatitis patients treated with AMC.
