Yoga and Neural Health: Enhancing Brain Function Through Postural Alignment
Abstract: Correct posture significantly influences neural function and brain health by ensuring optimal alignment of the spine and nervous system. Poor posture disrupts neural communication, impairs blood flow, and affects cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, leading to adverse effects on cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and overall brain health. This study examines the physiological connection between posture and neural health, emphasizing its impact on cognitive function, mood, and neuroplasticity. Using a mixed-methods approach, …

Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy: An Ayurvedic Review and Treatment: A Case Study
Abstract: One of the most severe and potentially fatal conditions of the infant brain that can develop before or during delivery is HIE. Common definitions of HIE include HYPOXIC (insufficient oxygen), ISCHEMIC (insufficient blood flow), and ENCEPHALOPATHY (brain disease). It is a terrible disease that can leave children with severe neurologic deficits or even kill them. HIE happens when a baby's brain receives insufficient oxygen and blood (perinatal hypoxia), which results …

Role of Human Neutrophils in Inflammation and its Modulation by Ixora coccinea
Abstract: Neutrophils are one of the key cells that actively participate in the innate immune reactions. Sequences of event of pathogen elimination by neutrophils are initiated with the activation of resting neutrophils. Pathogen is then eliminated by oxygen-dependent killing mechanism or oxygen-independent killing mechanism. This process includes margination, diapedesis, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and degranulation of neutrophils. Although, these mechanisms of the neutrophils are targeted to eliminate the pathogens and protect the body, …
