Abstract:This study sought to evaluate the rate of childbirth associated complications and to determine if multiparity constitutes a danger to mother and child. The cross-sectional study included women of childbearing age (15-45 years) who had attended health care facilities during pregnancies within the past two years (2009-2011). 384 women who fall into different para groups were picked at random. Data on subjects were abstracted from their medical records. Events such as abruptio placentae, uterine rupture, hemorrhage, malpresentations and mortality were observed and their rates of occurrence in the different para groups wereanalyzed. The research findings showed that complications occurred in all groups with the highest rates occurring in grand multiparas (para 6-9) such that uterine rupture occurred in 24% of the grand multiparous group, abruptio placentae was observed 17.97%, malpresentations [20.05%] and death [4.17%]. The grand multipara appears to have the highest risks of all groups of child bearing womenin the study population. Based on the high rates of childbirth complications that increased with parity, and due to poor perinatal care obtainable in the general population; multiparity is seen as dangerous and predisposes women to have childbirth complications. Thus, health workers and public health educators have the responsibility to enlighten the communities on the dangers of multiparity; husbands should value the health of their wives as a family and c

Abstract: Gandhashastra, a Science of Cosmetology and perfumery was contemporary to ancient Ayurveda. The modern day herbal cosmetology has its roots in the Gandhashastra. It deals with the formulations meant for Face care, Body care, Oral care, Hair care and the perfumery products like Fragrant water, Fragrant fabric, Armpit deodorants and the Room-fresheners. The Gandhashastra, while preparing the gandhakalpanas have utilized most of the basic principles of Rasashastra & Bhaishajya Kalpana. The present paper deals with the Critical study of Gandhashastra with special reference to Rasashastra & Bhaishajya Kalpana.
Keywords: Gandhashastra, Gandhakalpanas, Rasashastra, Bhaishajya Kalpana.

Abstract: Vitiligo is an acquired depigmenting skin condition that results from the destruction of melanocytes. It is a progressive, idiopathic pigmentation skin disorder, characterized by hypopigmented patches. The Vedic texts have even mentioned the term 'Kilasa' or Shvitra to describe hypopigmented patches. According to Ayurveda, Shvitra is caused by improper diet and behavioral factors. Certain other factors like Daivakrita nidana, beejadushti nidana and nidana-arthakar vyadhis are known to induce Shvitra. Many Ayurvedic medicines are known ro regenerate melanocytes among which Gomutra Aasava is the one. The present paper deals with the clinical evaluation of the efficacy of Gomutra Aasava in Shvitra.

Abstract : Dorsalis Pedis artery is the artery for peripheral vascular disease. It is the direct continuation of anterior tibial artery. Evaluation of Dorsalis pedis artery pulsations is an useful clinical tool for assessing peripheral arterial perfusion. The present study aims at determining branching pattern of Dorsalis pedis artery. The objective is to provide data on thediameter of Dorsalis pedis artery and its branching pattern. A study of Dorsalis pedis artery was done in thirty three lower limbs at Dr.B.R.Ambedkar medical college by dissection method. The diameter of Dorsalis pedis artery at its origin varied from 1.5 to 5mm. Maximum diameter is 5mm, minimum is 1.5mm. Average is 3.31mm. Arterial branching pattern is categorised into A, B, C, D and E. The study infers correlation between diameter of Dorsalis pedis Artery and its branching pattern. This study also provides data for vascular mapping of foot prior to certain surgeries like free flap transplantation.
