Contributed by: (http://www.india-herbs.com): What is Ayurveda good for? The goal of Ayurvedic medicine is to prevent diseases before they occur. Studies have suggested that Ayurveda may be particularly effective at reducing the risk of heart disease. For example, a recent study found that this traditional Indian medicine helped reduce plaque and reverse the thickening of artery walls known as atherosclerosis in both healthy adults as well as adults at high risk for heart disease. (Atherosclerosis is a slow, complex disease in which fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and other substances build up in the inner lining of an artery. This build-up, also known as plaque, can lead to heart attack and stroke.) Diagnosis Process The imbalance of doshas and the course they follow to cause disease is termed samprapti or pathogenesis. Since diseases develop in distinct stages, a good knowledge of those helps in early recognition of disease. Ayurveda thus elaborates a six stage process for diagnosis called Kriya (action) Kal (time). The first 4 stages being unique to Ayurveda in that they permit recognition and elimination of the disease before it ventures into differentiated clinical symptoms. One who knows the various stages of pathogenesis accumulation (sanchaya), provocation (prakopa) spread or migration (prasara), deposition or augmentation (sthana samshaya), manifestation (vyakti) and the differentiation (bheda) is entitled to be a physician. Stage One: Accumulation (Sanchaya) Weak digestive power and excess of dosha is responsible for such a condition. Here toxins (ama) produced by improper digestion collects in the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. Toxins resulting from a kapha imbalance accumulates in the stomach, those associated with a pitta imbalance collects in the small intestine, and that related to vata malfunction amasses in the colon. Due to the presence of one of these toxins, mild and ill-defined symptoms may show. We should recognise and eliminate the cause instead of ignoring or suppressing it. Causes aversion to similar things and attraction for contraries. Stage Two : Aggravation (Prokapa) The accumulated, stagnant doshas are now `excited' by factors as ahara, vihara & seasons. The toxins amass in such degree to get provoked in the site of production in the GI tract. Stage Three : Spread (Prasara) In this stage, the toxins accumulated in the GI tract start overflowing. Generally, up to this stage the damage is entirely reversible and restoration of doshic balance can be achieved with proper measures. Or there may be spontaneous prashama (remission) influenced by seasonal changes. Thus there is sanchaya of pitta in rainy season, prakopa in fall and prasara in early winter. Based on degree of excitation, it might even passed the stages of prashama or prasara. Stage Four : Agumentation (Sthana Samshraya) Overflowing toxins migrate, entering and taking refuge in localised, weak or defective dhatus thereby leading to malfunction and structural damage. It is from here that specific degenerating disease and susceptibilities to serious infections begin. Stage Five : Symptom Manifestation (Vyakti) Differentiated symptoms first begin to appear from the location. Manifested symptoms being used by modem medicine for classification & diagnosis of disease. Stage Six: Complications/Differentiation (Bheda) The disease having taken taken years or even decades to reach this final stage, becomes chronic. Offers detailed understanding of the group of symptoms thereby making clear nature of disease. Might act as predisposing factors for the spread of other diseases. Examination Process To confirm, evaluate and treat a disease, physicians need to perform clinical examinations of patients -- wherein textual knowledge (aptopadesa), direct perception (pratyaksha) and inference (anumana) are all very important components. The examination of patients can be carried out in the following manners: Three (Tri) fold (Bidha) Examination (Pariksha) Covers a general examination of the patient. Involves: Visual observation (Darshan) Tactile perception (Sparsha) Questioning (Prashna) Examination of the pulse (nadi pariksha) : The foremost clinical art in ayurvedic diagnosis it can provide deep insights into the history of the patient. The ideal time for pulse examination is early morning in empty stomach. But in case of emergency, it can be examined at any time of the day or night. An experienced ayurvedic physician can assess your body's nature (prakriti), pathological state (vikruti), imbalances of body type, very subtle observations & even prognosis of disease through the pulse.

The anterior scalene muscle starts from the transverse processes of C3-C6, slanting downward and forward, and inserts into the first rib. When it contracts, the head bends to the same side and forward. The causes of anterior scalene muscle syndrome are: 1. Cervical spondylosis -- Spinal nerves C3-C8 provide motor innervation to the anterior scalene muscle. Their irritation or compression evokes increased tension in the anterior scalene muscle. 2. Chronic overload and muscular strain -- Chronic physical overload of the anterior scalene muscle or its strain also produce the clinical picture of anterior scalene muscle syndrome. Because the anterior scalene muscle participates in inspiration, patients with bronchial asthma frequently have anterior scalene muscle syndrome. 3. Visceral pathology -- The heart and lungs are innervated by the same segments of the spinal cord as the anterior scalene muscle. Thus, chronic cardiac and pulmonary disorders evoke reflex zones in the anterior scalene muscle and are responsible for anterior scalene muscle syndrome. Radiating pain to the left arm caused by this syndrome can also mimic heart pathology. The brachial plexus is located between the anterior scalene and middle scalene muscles. If the tonus of the anterior scalene muscle is increased, the brachial plexus is found in the sphincter between these two muscles. As a result, the brachial plexus becomes chronically irritated and produces a rich neurological picture. The spinal nerves of C7-C8 are involved to the greatest degree (C6-C7 and C7-T1 segments of spine.) Anterior scalene muscle syndrome causes an abundance of circulatory problems. The subclavian artery and vein pass between the anterior scalene muscle and the first rib. An over-tensed muscle can compress the artery and vein, or evoke their vasospasm by irritation of the brachial plexus. Compression of the subclavian artery produces symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the upper limb; compression of the subclavian vein produces symptoms of insufficient blood drainage (edema). Additionally, the anterior scalene muscle can compress the vertebral artery or evoke vasospasm by irritating its sympathetic plexus.

Mitochondrial DNA Variation at Position 16189 and Diabetes: Frequency Amongst South Eastern Kenyan Populations Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and Diabetes Mellitus, and mitochondrial mutations have been reported to be a cause of maternally inherited diabetes and some features of metabolic syndrome. A substitution of thymidine for cytosine (T→C) at nucleotide position 16189C of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) may be associated with insulin resistance and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. An analysis of subjects from five Asian countries confirmed an association between the 16189C variant and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. However, a meta-analysis of previous research on European subjects did not show an association between the 16189C variant and disease expression. Due to the inconsistency of the results between the studies in Asians and Europeans; we decided to investigate other ethnic populations. DNA was extracted from cheek swab samples collected from the Mijikenda and Taita groups of southeast Kenya. The Hypervariable Region I of the mtDNA, where the mutation is found, was sequenced. The mutation is found at low frequencies in these Kenyan populations, 8.61% in the Taita sample and 9.62% in the Mijikenda sample. In contrast, previous studies indicated frequencies of 31.0% in Asian and 9.2% in European samples. Ethnic differences among populations may underlie risk association in a complex disease such as diabetes because the interaction between genes and environment, influences many aspects of the phenotype. It is not yet clear whether the 16189C variant is associated with diabetes risk, and specifically in Asian populations. It may be a risk factor for diabetes among Asian populations, and perhaps in other populations, but the specific metabolic effects of this mutation must be identified before definitive conclusions can be reached. It appears that mtDNA mutation at position 16189C is not a risk factor for the development diabetes, at least in south eastern Kenyans. Urban lifestyle patterns seem to be more influential in the development of diabetes in Kenyan populations. Association studies between diabetes and the 16189C mutation in other ethnic groups are needed as well.
