Ardita is one of the Vata Vyadhi. Management of Ardita is same as Vata Vyadhi. It includes Nasya, Murdhnitala, Basti. Karnapurana and Akshitarpana. Akshitarpana is a unique procedure where medicated ghee is retained over the eyes for a specific amount of time. Ardita can be correlated with Bell’s palsy. Symptoms like incomplete closure of eye, watering of eye, deviation of mouth, forehead creases loss, earache, dribbling of saliva, heaviness of face, taste loss, hyperacusis are same. In this study efficacy of Akshitarpan is evaluated in Ardita. Triphala Ghruta is selected to do Akshitarpan. Subjective criteria for assessment are watering of eye, deviation of mouth, forehead creases loss, earache, dribbling of saliva, heaviness of face, taste loss, hyperacusis. Total 30 patients were taken for study. Objective criteria for assessment is incomplete closure of eye. Accurate tests are applied to data. Study reveals that Triphala Ghruta Akshitarpana has effect on only 2 symptoms of Ardita. i.e. Incomplete closure of eye and watering of eye.

SummaryBackground. Despite the availability of several diagnostic methods for the detection of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), the identification of previous episodes of DVT remains a diagnostic challenge.Study objective. To assess the reliability of a combination of a standardized clinical score with three non-invasive tests: compression ultrasonography (CUS), Doppler ultrasound (DUS), and photoplethysmography (PPG), in determining the presence or the absence of previous proximal DVT.Methods. One hundred consecutive unselected outpatients were identified, who had undergone contrast venography six to nine years previously because of the clinical suspicion of DVT (confirmed in 43). They were blindly reinvestigated by a panel of trained operators unaware of venography results. They underwent a clinical evaluation of the lower limb, by applying a standardized score to five symptoms and six signs (grading each item from 0 to 3); a PPG test to determine the venous refilling time; a DUS test to determine the venous reflux separately in the common femoral and the popliteal vein; and a CUS test to determine vein compressibility in the same regions.Results. An abnormal CUS test and/or the demonstration of venous reflux in the popliteal region and/or a high clinical score (≥ 8) identified twenty-four of the 43 (56%) DVT + patients with a specificity of 89%. The combination of normal CUS with the absence of venous reflux in both the common femoral and popliteal vein and a low clinical score excluded previous thrombosis in 45 (79%) of the 57 DVT- patients (negative predictive value, 78%). Abnormal venous reflux in the isolated common femoral vein did not reliably predict the presence or absence of previous DVT. However, this occurred in only 13 (13%) patients. The PPG determination of venous refilling time did not improve the results obtained with the other tests.Conclusions. The combination of a standardized clinical evaluation with the results of CUS and DUS can reliably diagnose or exclude previous proximal-vein thrombosis in almost 90% of patients with previous episodes of suspected DVT.
