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 …

Impact on Mobility and Mortality in Minimally Invasive Surgeries
Abstract: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) presents numerous advantages such as fewer complications, shorter hospital admissions, and reduced patient discomfort. This surgical method has progressed significantly, with laparoscopy being one of its earliest applications. Laparoscopy involves the insertion of miniature cameras and instruments through small incisions. Robotic-assisted surgery, another form of MIS, enhances surgical precision and offers a three-dimensional view. With technological developments, MIS has gained widespread acceptance among both surgeons and …

Can Screw-only fixations of ACPHT acetabular fractures enhance stability as the standard buttress plate fixation provides?
Abstract: Background: Of acetabular fractures, anterior column posterior hemi-transverse(ACPHT) fractures commonly occur after a fall onto the hip in elderly population. When displaced in these fractures, open reduction and internal fixation using plate and screws is usually required to achieve good functional outcomes. The open procedures, however, involve high complication rates due to surgical invasion; therefore, percutaneous techniques by screw-only constructs have been advocated to minimize these complications. The purpose of …
