Research Protocol for Assessment of Solitary and Combined effect of Guduchi and Punarnava on Structural and Functional Changes of Ageing in Liver and Kidney in Wistar Rats

Abstract

Background: The liver and kidney play a central role in metabolic and detoxification processes leads to structural degeneration of organs with aging, which may hamper the functional ability of these organs. Acharya charaka suggests to use drugs of vayasthapana mahakashaya in different combinations to prevent ageing. Guduchi (Tinospora cardifolia) and punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) are two drugs chosen to evaluate the solitary and combined effect on structural and functional changes in liver and kidney of Wistar rat.
 Materials and Methods: After identification and phytochemical study of test drugs, the 32 healthy, male rats of 18 months will be divided into four different groups, with eight rats in each group. 1st to 4th group will receive distilled water, guduchi kwath, punarnava kwath, guduchi and punarnava kwath respectively for 30 consecutive days at the rate of 8.1ml/kg dose, orally. Before administration of control drug and test drug blood sample assessment will be done for LFT, KFT, and SOD level. The same investigation will be repeated after one month trial period. Then after 60 days,120 days and 180 days, two animals from each group will be sacrificed, organs such as liver and kidney will be extracted and preserved for histopathological study, and blood samples will be collected for investigation. The remaining animals will be returned to the animal house for their reuse.
 Expected Results: Guduchi and punarnava may provide strength to liver and kidney and thus helpful in delaying degenerative changes of organs.

Assistive and Rehabilitation Technology in Osteoarthritis of Knee

“…Wearable sensors combined with machine learning techniques could help design assistive gadgets for Knee Osteoarthritis patients to improve disease treatment and decrease the risks of non-functional overreaching (e.g., pain). The goal of this research was to create an artificial neural network (ANN) that could predict external knee flexion moments (KFM) and external knee adduction moments (KAM) during diverse locomotion activities using data from two wearable sensors (27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38).…”

Rapid review of virtual rehab in musculoskeletal injuries in athletes

“…This study of virtual reality training protocol which suggests the weight training between it, enhance affliction along with the sport completion otherwise is kinetic and further several conventional practices in the athletes, with acute as well as chronic pain. Artificial intelligence automation is kindly assume while a modern practice obligation of various sports deformation for various games (46)(47)(48)(49)(50).Artificial intelligence automation based convalescences display the prospective as a pleasant as well as efficacious course of action to make better upper shank functioning as well as the consequent potential. The affirmation bears the usage of virtual reality as an accompaniment for the musculoskeletal rehabilitations, with convincingness for a diversification of the programs, preparation framework as well as the phases of recuperation (51-52).…”

Robotics in Lower limb Amputate to improve functional activity

“…21 To determine the degree of adaptation, a 5-point Likert scale with anchors of "not at all adapted" and "totally adapted" at the extremities of the scale was utilised. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]…”
