Ayurvedic Concept of Allergy in Reference to Diet and Regimen
Abstract: AbstractLife of man depends on three main sub-pillars; these are Ahar, nidra and brahmacharya. Ahar plays very important role to provide strength, complexion and lifespan. Nowadays, human life is too busy to fulfill his lawful diet. Some diets are incompatible, unwholesome while some are wholesome. Unwholesome and incompatible produce untoward skin diseases. Foods that are not suited to body produce allergy. Udard, koth, raktapradoshaja vikara and shitapitta are allergic disorders. …

A Comprehensive Review: Personalized Treatment Strategies in Stable Ischemic Heart Disease
Abstract: Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD) is one of the leading cardiovascular disorders associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Since early symptoms such as chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath are often non-specific and difficult to recognize, diagnosis becomes challenging, and many cases remain undetected until advanced stages or complications occur. Traditional diagnosis depends heavily on clinical evaluation, electrocardiography, stress testing, and imaging techniques. The development of improved treatment …

¬¬¬Lycopene Protects Testes and Epididymal Sperm in BPA Exposed Adult Sprague-Dawley Rats
Abstract: Bisphenol A (BPA) is ubiquitous and persistent environmental contaminant. Previous studies proved that BPA disrupt hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and oxidative balance. Numerous studies have clearly been reported that oxidative stress leads to male infertility by affecting testes and spermatozoa. On the other hand, lycopene has beneficial role on testes and spermatozoa by reducing the oxidative stress. Therefore, this study was conducted to delineate the protective role of lycopene by acting against …

Elucidating the Role of Temperature in Reproductivity of Plants
Abstract: Analysis on plant counter to temperature stress accumulates interest because of the expanded mindfulness with respect to an unnatural weather change. High and low temperature stresses help in setting up the slight natural division of refined plants, the restricted geographic expansion of some other financially healthfully significant species, and furthermore produce lopsided connection for certain species. All things considered, the view of plant reprisal to temperature stress falls behind other …

Stress Perception among School-age Children
Abstract: Introduction: Prosody is the inflection embedded in speech. The perception of prosody is necessary to understand a spoken utterance, especially to appreciate the intricacies of languages. The influence of prosody is also beyond the boundaries of a sentence and provides speech its emotional tone. Prosody or the supra-segmental is made of stress (accent), intonation (pitch patterns) and the rhythmic (timing) pattern of language. Acoustically, it is described in terms of …
