Introduction:Ayurveda has described about the pathogenesis and the treatment of various disorders, the incidence of some of which have increased in the present scenario. Janu Sandhigata Vata correlated with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint is one such chronic, degenerative, inflammatory disease which has a great impact on the quality of the life of an individual. Different modalities of treatment have been explained in the classics to tackle the condition effectively.Methodology:In the present study, an attempt has been made to review the various clinical research works done in the management of OA of the knee, which are registered in various research portal. In AYUSH Research Portal using the keywords Ayurveda-clinical research-musculoskeletal disorders-osteoarthrosis of knee-Janu Sandhigata Vata and in PubMed using clinical research – Ayurveda-OA. The studies reviewed were categorized depending on the treatment used in the management of the condition.Results:Fifty three research works were registered under AYUSH Research Portal with 34 full papers. There were 12 research papers in PubMed, out of which 6 papers which dealt with OA of the knee were reviewed. Among these six, three already existed in AYUSH Research Portal. The results were discussed by categorizing the studies as per the treatment used.Conclusion:Among the papers reviewed, most of them dealt with few modalities of treatment rather than the complete classical line of the treatment. The evidence-based research involving multimodality treatment with long-term follow-up covering various aspects of prevention and cure has to be conducted which is the need of the hour.

The prevalence of pregnancy complications are on the rise globally with severe consequences. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2009), every minute, at least one woman dies and 20 are affected by the complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. While the root cause of pregnancy complications is unclear, it likely has physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. The Vedas are a rich source of antenatal health care guidelines in all these aspects. The primary objective of the authors was to compile the scriptural and scientific evidence for a holistic antenatal model of yoga with emphasis on sociocultural Indian practices.

Gout is a heterogeneous disorder that results in the deposition of uric acid salts and crystals in and around joints and soft tissues. Gouty arthritis comes under the purview of vatarakta. Various modalities of treatment for vatarakta have shown good outcome. A study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of raktamokshana by siravyadha method which is ardhachikitsa according to Sushrutaacharya and this was compared to the efficacy of Basthichikitsa which is also ardha chikitsa recommended by Charakaacharya hence a Comparative clinical randomized two groups study on 40 patients with Gout was undertaken. Patients of Group A (n=20) were subjected to siravyadha twice with an interval of 11 days and patients of Group B (n=20) were subjected to Guduchi siddha Yoga basti, completed in 8 days. Assessments were done before and after the therapy in both groups using subjective parameters - pricking pain (Toda), burning sensation (Daaha), numbness (Supti) in joints and objective parameters –serum uric acid, tenderness (Sparshaasahyatha), swelling (Shotha), discoloration (Raaga) of joints which were graded and analysed statistically. In group A the overall response of the treatment includes, 0(0%) patients showed marked response, 19(95%) patients showed moderate improvement, 1(5%) patient showed mild improvement and 0(0%) patient showed no response. In group B the overall response of the treatment includes, 7(35%) patients showed marked response, 13(65%) patients showed moderate improvement, 0(0%) patient showed mild improvement and 0(0%) patient showed no response. So Overall response was significantly more in group B (Marked response 35%) when compared to group A (0%) with P= 0.008**

The importance of research on non‐linear evolution equations has increased over time. In the fields of plasma physics, fluid mechanics, optical fibers, and other sciences, such equations are not unrealistic. Discovering the exact answers to these equations needs to be a top priority. In this study, we will investigate a ‐dimensional non‐linear MA‐FAN equation that is used to simulate weakly non‐linear restoring forces and frequency dispersion in long wavelength water waves. The ‐dimensional MA‐FAN equation's solution is analyzed using the Lie symmetry analysis, and it is also used to pick the appropriate one‐dimensional Lie subalgebra system. We discover invariant solutions of the ‐dimensional MA‐FAN equation, which may capture the dynamic behavior of non‐linear waves, by solving the numerous ordinary differential equations that are reduced equations from the MA‐FAN equation by using the Lie group of transformation approach. In conclusion, the method offered is robust and convenient tool for studying various classes of non‐linear PDE solutions.
