This is an online E log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's signed informed consent. Here we discuss our individual patient's problems through series of inputs from global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs. Patient: 'Here's a quick summary of my medical history that may be relevant to my condition: 'I'm a 70 year old mathematician/professor of computer science. I have worked on a number of medical projects with clinicians but have had no clinical training but I hope some understanding of some clinical issues. In 2005 I was diagnosed as a T2 diabetic which I was successfully controlling with a ketogenic diet ( eg my BGL in the morning before breakfast was 4 - 5 mmol/L before I had COVID in June 2022 after which it was consistently 2 mmol/L greater) before I started taking dexamethasone which has req

[20/02, 8:33 pm] Dr.Dinesh Datta:(Forwarded from other group) Any ayurvedic practitioner on the group, can you pls throw some light on use of heavy metals in medicines? Is it ok to take under medical supervision? I read somewhere about Ras-shastra and Nagarjuna. [20/02, 8:33 pm] Dr.Dinesh Datta: But then there are reports of heavy metal poisoning too on Pubmed due to ayurvedic preparations, what is the catch?? [20/02, 8:37 pm] Dr Rakesh Biswas: The catch is in dose optimization!  Holds true for all drugs be it any system of medicine [20/02, 8:58 pm] +91 93714 56707: My thoughts: the conventional method of preparing ayur drugs i.e. the ras aushadhis which have metallic content is pretty elaborate...eg soak them in lemon juice for x number of days, or triturate together for x hours...these are primarily for those containing the mercury and sulphur combinations....however in current usage Pharma companies may not be diligently following those methods of preparation...and I am not sure of

According to ancient Persian records recorded in 'Shahnama',the history of ancient Iran begins with conflict of (Ahuras) and Daevas(Devas).Probably,Daeva or Ahriman posed a great challenge to Ahur Mazda.Gayomart or Keyumars was the first king of Zoroastrians or Iranians.He was also the contemporary of Ahriman.Daeva Indra was also an enemy of Ahuras.In all probabilities,Ahriman was Aryaman who was one of the Adityas of early Vedic period.Devas and Asuras of early Vedic period were cousin brothers.Puranic records relate to the legend of Tripurasura and his son Gayasura.Seemingly Ahur Mazda(Asur Mahad) and his son Gayomart were Tripurasura and Gayasura.Avesta is the oldest text of Zoroastrianism.It is well known that there are many similarities in words and Grammar of Avesta and Vedic Sanskrit. Avesta mentions Mithra,Varuna,Indra,Yama etc.Gathas of Avesta mentions Rudra along with Angra Mainyu.Yajurrveda's one mantra also mentions('Namaste Rudyamanyava') also mentions

Most of us might be familiar with this upcoming branch of medicine called 'Digital Health,for that past few years.Post Covid scenario,it became our hope and understanding that 'Digital Health can help in reducing healthcare access inequalities and helps in streamlining the healthcare system in our country.Digital revolution in India helped in streamlining many other branches like internal security,policing,auditing and etc. Let's dissect its role in Healthcare field. 1.PROLOGUE  Definition    'Digital health, or digital healthcare, is a broad, multidisciplinary concept that includes concepts from an intersection between technology and healthcare. Digital health applies digital transformation to the healthcare field, incorporating software, hardware and services. Under its umbrella, digital health includes mobile health (mHealth) apps, electronic health records (EHRs), electronic medical records (EMRs), wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, as well as Personalis

I decided to dive deep into Indian Philosophy (as in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain Philosophies). I must admit though, it's a handicap being an Indian and not being able to read Sanskrit and the vast literature works that our predecessors have left for us. I felt a little guilty for not knowing much about our country's intellectual heritage. Although I've read excerpts from various sources over the years, there was no coherent thread connecting the entire Indian Intellectual Culture and Philosophy. So I've given it some thought and decided to fill that ignorance with knowledge. So I did careful readings. I've dived deep into the literature and I have recorded my thoughts for you to peruse, I'm sure we can debate a lot of the material that I cover in this email. I've tried to write everything chronologically (as they developed through history). These are my thoughts written in an expository way for you to read, understand, and debate. I'm sure there are many

That's such an interesting topic.I don't know where to begin this topic. Let's start with the Universe, I don't know how well-versed you are with the laws of thermodynamics. In a nutshell, they describe the relationship between different forms of energies in different states. There are some interesting elements of simplicity as well as complexity within those four laws and their implications. Between the twin extremes of simplicity and complexity, is where everything comes in. If you think about it, too much chaos can lead to anarchy, too much uniformity can lead to a dull and boring regularity. Of all the systems of thought, theories, hypothesis, and opinions, the most convincing theories come from the field of mathematics called Complexity Theory. In it, it is mathematically proven that all dynamical and non-linear systems are highly sensitive to initial input. Meaning that one small change is all it takes for radically different outputs of two identical systems. Anot
