Uttarabasti in Female Infertility: A Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Outcomes and Safety Profile
Abstract: Background: Uttarabasti (UB) is a specialized Panchakarma procedure involving intrauterine instillation of medicated Sneha, classically indicated in Yonivyapad and Vandhyatwa. It facilitates targeted local drug delivery, bypassing gastrointestinal metabolism and enabling direct therapeutic action at the uterine level. In Ayurvedic understanding, UB achieves Garbhashaya Shuddhi and Apana Vata Anulomana — the two primary pathological corrections considered essential in Vandhyatwa. Infertility affects an estimated 10–15% of couples globally, with a substantial …

The Risk of Second Malignant Tumors after Definitive Treatment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Three Case Reports and Literature Review
Abstract: Introduction: Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have an increased incidence of developing second malignant tumors (SMTs). This may possibly be explained by the concept of “field cancerization” or “condemned mucosa syndrome”, implying the importance of other risk factors like smoking, alcohol consumption, genetic factors and viral infections. However, risk factors for SMTs have not been documented well, especially in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Objective: Evaluate the presence …

Refractive symmetry analysis of fellow eyes
Abstract: The biological structure of human body frequently exhibit symmetry. The hypothesis of refractive symmetry assumes that the two eyes of an individual should have homogeneous refractive properties. Optometry clinical management mostly rely upon meridional magnification effect, spatial distortion, and binocular spatial perception while prescribing refractive correction. Additionally, bilateral symmetry analysis approach has proven very informative for better diagnosis. This study was multi-centered, cross-sectional, analytical, and retrospective, where we studied refractive …
