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.
Sustainable Effect of Ayurvedic Formulations in the Treatment of Nutritional Anemia in Adolescent Students
This study evaluated the impact of Ayurvedic treatments (Sootshekhar Rasa and Sitopaladi Churna) on nutritional anemia in 1322 adolescent students in Dehradun. After 90 days of treatment, significant hemoglobin improvements were seen in the treatment groups, especially those receiving a daily dose of 250 mg SR and 400 mg SC. The study concluded that this combination effectively improves anemia in adolescents without adverse effects.
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.
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.
Hepato-protective Effect of an Ayurvedic Formulation Prak-20 in CCl 4 Induced Toxicity in Rats: Results of Three Studies
Prak-20, an ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation, was studied for its hepato-protective effects in rats. It showed no significant liver damage or elevated enzyme levels compared to controls. In higher doses, it reduced liver enzymes by up to 54% and minimized liver damage. These results suggest Prak-20 is effective in protecting the liver, with further research needed on its mechanism.
Significant Reduction of Carbohydrate 19-9 Antigen Levels in a Patient of Acute on Chronic Pancreatitis through Ayurvedic Treatment Protocol
A 52-year-old male with recurrent acute necrotizing pancreatitis showed poor response to conventional treatment, leading to weight loss and high CA 19-9 levels. Ayurvedic therapy, including herbal formulations, a balanced diet, and rest, normalized his CA 19-9 levels within 108 days, highlighting its potential for further study.
