Changing Demography of Pancreatitis Patients in India -A Hospital Based Study
Pancreatitis is rising globally, with major risk factors including alcohol, tobacco, and family history. A study of 800 patients in North India found higher incidences among non-alcoholic, non-tobacco users, and those with no family history. The disease mostly affected men (4.6:1) aged 19-45, particularly in the service class and students. Further research is needed to explore its causes and extent in the region.
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.
Herbo-mineral ayurvedic treatment in a high risk acute promyelocytic leukemia patient with second relapse: 12 years follow up
A 47-year-old diabetic male with high-risk AML-M3 relapsed after multiple chemotherapy treatments. In 1997, he opted for a pilot Ayurvedic study and was treated with Navajeevan, Kamadudha Rasa, and Keharuba Pisti. He achieved complete remission and has remained disease-free for 13 years without side effects from the alternative treatment.
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.
Scientific validated approach for application of Mandura bhasma A review
Mandura (iron rust) is purified and calcined in Ayurveda to create Mandura Bhasma, used for conditions like spleen and liver enlargement, jaundice, oedema, and anemia. Our study found that Prak-20 aligns with the classical dose schedule for Mandura Bhasma.
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.
