Study alternative medicine with renewed focus on anatomy,physiology & cadaver

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Every alternative medicine eg;Ayurveda,Homoepathy,Naturopathy,Yogatherapy requires the sound knowledge of body constitution and its function. On the structure of body different modes of alternative therapy have been evolved. It includes the medicinal plants,herbs found commonly or in the great Himalayan range.In Buddist era its study ascended its prime and great ayurvedacharyas like Charaka,Sushruta,Nagarjuna brought forward the subject to its zenith. It is still the favoured medicine of crores of Indian population. Ayurveda is considered the 5th Veda ,the Indian holy religious book.

 The Yoga is another Indian contribution to the modern world. Great Patanjali evolved some postures which are of immense medical value. It cures many musculoskeletal diseases involving muscles,joints,tendons,nerves and bony skeleton. Each asana is specific for a region of our body.It also has immense effect on the soft tissues of our body and precludes any unnecessary deposit of fat or laxity of skin or fascia.Contrary to the popular belief, the Yoga exercises have profound influence on mind status. A fit and resilient body keeps the mind  alert and sound so that life becomes a productive progress.

The homoepathy is the gift of great German scholar Hahnemann who showed to the world that chemicals, herbs,metals which are otherwise toxic to human body in high doses are best medicines when used in dilutest form. The symptoms that it creats in toxic doses are studied intensely. Sometimes those symptoms may occur in other naturally occurring diseases and those medicines which have similar toxic symptoms may be given in minutest dilutions with effective result. This was a great discovery and homoepathy subject has been built up and studied worldwide.

The study of alternative medicine requires the simultaneous study of body’s detailed anatomy and physiology. In the study of every medicine it is the essential pre requisite. So more emphasis will be given at first or simultaneous study of AP(Anatomy & Physiology)with special study of muscles,nerves,joints,fascias in order to understand the Yoga.

Study of neuroscience is thrilling and electrifying.Electric currents normally flows along the nerve path and that is measurable.It will be a nice and revealing experience how yogic process of meditational exercises bring about a sense of gift when a new mental power is achieved.

Seeing is believing. A conception of body structure cannot be made unless different muscles,nerves,brain,heart,lungs and other organs are seen physically and studied their way of function. We have the arrangement to extend that mode of study. For theoretcal discussion traditional class room study or online study can be arranged. For dead body dissection we require the candidate to contact my email:dattatin@hotmail.com

For study of Ayurveda,Yoga and Homoepathy theoreticals can be imparted by online route or class room but practice of practical requires special arrangement of case study and prior email contact.

New Drug Study for Abdominal Mesothelioma

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Researchers recently published the results of a study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology detailing a potentially new treatment for patients of abdominal mesothelioma that will likely improve the condition for patients.
The study found that when patients suffering from abdominal mesothelioma were given a combination of two drugs, Alimta (pemetrexed) and Gemzar (gemcitabine), their condition improved. The following are the results of the study:
* Response rate among patients was 15 percent.
* The control rate of the disease for patients while on the medication was 50 percent.
* The median time to disease progression was 10.4 months.
* The median survival time was 26.8 months.
* The mesothelioma study involved 20 patients suffering from the condition.
Each patient also received various vitamins including folic acid, vitamin B12 and dexamethasone. The study was conducted by researchers involved in a multi-center U.S. trial. Researchers expect to continue studying the drug’s effects on abdominal mesothelioma patients to determine if the treatment can be improved.
What is Abdominal Mesothelioma?
Abdominal mesothelioma is an extremely rare form of mesothelioma cancer. Commonly described as peritoneal mesothelioma, the cancer affects the abdominal lining, which is also known as the peritoneum. Within the abdominal cavity is the serous membrane, which is also known as the parietal peritoneum, and this membrane continues on to the visceral peritoneum that lines the organs. With abdominal mesothelioma, the visceral and parietal peritoneum linings are affected with the development of cancerous cells.
Most often, abdominal cancer occurs when an individual first develops pleural mesothelioma, which is when the lining of the lung develops cancerous cells after inhalation of asbestos. Pleural mesothelioma can then spread to the peritoneal cavity and cause peritoneal mesothelioma, which accounts for less than one-third of all mesothelioma diagnoses.
How is Peritoneal Mesothelioma Contracted?
Abdominal, or peritoneal, mesothelioma is caused through the inhalation of asbestos fibers or asbestos dust. Asbestos is a material that is derived from vermiculite, a mineral that was mined heavily in the United States and around the world in the 20th century. Asbestos was most commonly used as an insulation within the construction industry because it was flame resistant and was developed at inexpensive prices.
There are many common symptoms of mesothelioma, including:
* shortness of breath.
* inability to breath.
* fatigue.
* wheezing or severe cough.
However, many of these symptoms are generalized to overall cases of mesothelioma. Specific symptoms exist for those diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma. These symptoms are as follows:
* weight loss.
* abdominal swelling, which can be caused by ascites or the buildup of fluid in the abdominal cavity.
* bowel obstruction.
* fever.
* anemia.
* blood clotting.
* trouble swallowing.
* swelling of neck and face.
Abdominal Mesothelioma Treatment
Abdominal mesothelioma treatments commonly consist of surgical procedures to remove the infected cancerous areas. Often, the main surgery involved with peritoneal mesothelioma is known as cytoreductive surgery. This surgery is usually accompanied with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and together the median survival rate for patients has been shown to increase slightly, although, treatment is dependent on a specific case-by-case basis.
Obtaining Peritoneal Mesothelioma Legal Help
Individuals who have been diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma or any similar form of mesothelioma cancer are advised to locate an experienced mesothelioma attorney. Because mesothelioma is considered a highly preventable disease, individual victims who contract the illness were likely exposed to asbestos fibers or asbestos dust without knowledge of the danger of exposure levels. These individuals may be able to receive monetary compensation for the extremely costly medical bills associated with abdominal mesothelioma.
It is especially important for an individual to seek legal counsel for their mesothelioma lawsuit if they were an employee within the metal, mining, maritime, construction and welding industries.
