A Review on Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Parkinsons’s Disease Diagnosis and Treatment and Its Future Challenges
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a long-term, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that mainly occurs in people older than 60 years, affecting nearly 1% of this population. It is chiefly marked by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, a crucial brain region responsible for controlling motor functions. The resultant dopamine deficiency significantly disrupts motor control, manifesting in clinical symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, and postural instability. While PD …

Netra Roga Nidana : A Critical Review
Abstract: Ayurveda defines Indriyas as sense organs that acquire knowledge for the Atma. According to Acharya Charaka, Indriyas are instruments that distinguish between living and non-living things. Because the Panch Mahabhuta (five elements) contributed to the composition of Indriyas, different sense organs function differently. Indriyas exist in minute form within their Indriya adhishtanas (anatomical organs) and perform the function of perceiving senses and communicating that perception to the brain or body …

Mind-Gut Connection: The Psychosomatic Effects of Stress and Emotions on Digestive System
Abstract: Stress, understood as an immediate disruption to bodily equilibrium, triggers an adaptive or allostatic response that impacts gastrointestinal function both in the short and long term. The enteric nervous system communicates in both directions with the brain through parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways, collectively forming what is known as the brain-gut axis. Unani scholars describe stress as a response to the loss of something valuable, such as an opportunity, a desired …
