    (Mahadev Publications, 2019-08) Joshi, Rashmi; Kumar, Pravesh; Panwar, Balkrishan; Sharma, Uttam Kumar
    Thyroid gland is the most important gland of the endocrine system. Thyroid hormones manage the metabolic activity of the body. When the secretion of these hormones gets hampered, the thyroid gland fails to complete the metabolic need of the body. This condition is called as hypothyroidism. This problem is a great challenge for both developing as well as developed countries. It is seen 7 to 8 times more common in females than males. The only treatment available is levo-thyroxine tablets which patients have to take lifelong. Due to high prevalence of the disease in the society, the present study was taken to evaluate the efficacy of the management by Ayurvedic principles. In Ayurvedic literature there is no direct reference of this disease. It may be considered due to the disfunctioning of Jatharagni which may leads to the manifestation of this disease. According to the symptoms of this disease, dominance of Dosha may be understand as Pittaand Kapha. Virechanais the best treatment for the Pitta Dusthi and also an effective treatment for the Kapha Dosha. Hence, in present study, total 20 patients of hypothyroidism with TSH more than 5.0 mIU/ml irrespective of the level of serum T3 and T4 were selected and treated with Virechana karma with Araghvadhadi yoga. Effect of Virechana karma was seen extremely significant on symptoms like fatigue, dry and coarse skin, unexplained weight gain, muscle ache, puffiness of face and breathlessness. After the treatment, the average TSH value reduced from 153.03 to 138.41. This is observed that the TSH level was reduced up to 9.88%.

    Short Estrous Cycle Post-ovulation in Peri-pubertal Sahiwal and Jersey Crossbred Heifers
    (Ms. M. B. Mondal, 2024-01) Sharma, Pururava; Kumar, Pravesh; Sharma, Akshay; Negi, Vijender; Kumar, Harish; Sood, Pankaj
    This investigation focuses on analysing the follicular dynamics exhibited during peri-pubertal period in Sahiwal and Jersey crossbred heifers. The aim of the study was to assess first ovulation in the heifers following puberty (N=20; 10 for each breed). Heifers were subjected to alternate day trans-rectal ultrasonography (TRUS) when the diameter of dominant follicle surpassed 9 mm diameter. Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) was performed to observe and assess first ovulation in heifers. The size of the first pre-ovulatory follicle in Sahiwal and Jersey Crossbred heifer in peri-pubertal stage was 10.52�13 and 10.15�51 mm, respectively and the corpus luteum attained its maximum size of 13.89 and 11.26 mm, was significantly different (p<0.01) at day 8.6�4 and 8.2�48 in Sahiwal and Jersey crossbred heifers, respectively. The regression of corpus luteum (CL) adjudged by the Colour Doppler initiated on 10.6�4 and 11.0�63 day for Sahiwal and Jersey crossbred heifers, respectively. Some other follicular dynamics parameters i.e. day of wave onset, number of follicles recruited, inter-wave duration along with maximum diameter of dominant follicle, day of maximum diameter, growth rate, length of growth and static phase, duration of static phase and onset of atresia was recorded, however, no significant difference (p>0.05) was recorded between breeds. On an interesting note, the next estrous cycle for heifers did not lead to ovulation despite having follicular size more than10 mm in both the breeds. Conclusion: In peroration, peri-pubertal Sahiwal and Jersey crossbred heifers had notably precocious luteal regression after first ovulation, without subsequent ovulation in next estrous cycle.
