Cervical spondylosis is degeneration of the bones in the neck (vertebrae) and the circles between them, squeezing (compacting) the spinal string in the neck. Cervical spondylosis is common among moderately aged and old individuals with over 85% of individuals more seasoned than 60 years being a survivor of this issue that causes cervical neck torment. Early cervical spondylosis can likewise happen however it is uncommon.
Manyastambha is agonizing problems principally related with vitiation of Vata and Vyana vayu. The vitiated Vata get held up in neck district coming about solid torment in neck region.
Causes for Cervical Spondylosis
The ordinary mileage of the bones in the spinal line is the principle cervical spondylosis causes that outcome in degenerative spondylosis. Other potential reasons for cervical torment can be the accompanying:
Bone Spurs or Abnormal Outgrowths of Bones called Osteophytes: As the spine declines and gets more fragile because of mature age, the body reacts by developing new and additional unresolved issues the spine more grounded. This strange development of bones or cervical osteophytes is called bone prods. These additional bones can squeeze the spine, for example, the nerve and the spinal line in the cervical district prompting an awful instance of cervical circle illness.
Dried out Spinal Disks : The spinal line is comprised of minuscule bones called vertebrae which comprises of little liquid filled plates. The liquid in the middle of the bones is thick and acts like cushion like pads that ingest the stun of substantial exercises like lifting, bending and different developments. With age, the liquid can get got dried out driving because of a condition called circle parching. This makes the bones rub against one another during exercises that cause neck spondylosis and brings about intense agony in the perilous space of the neck.
Herniated Disks: In this condition, spinal plates create breaks in them that bring about spillage of the liquid present between them. This interior padding material that holes out can press against the spinal nerves and bones bringing about deadness of the arms and serious torment.
Injury: Any kind of neck injury because of a mishap can prompt the beginning of gentle cervical spondylosis which speeds up the maturing cycle of the cervical spine.
Solidness of the Ligament: Tendons are groups of stringy connective tissue that associates bones and ligaments together. With age, these tendons can become stiffer that influences the general neck development prompting a cervical issue at the neck.
Extreme Stress and Overuse: Individuals who are utilized in areas that require hefty liftings like development work and more inclined to create neck spondylitis and spondylosis. Since the beginning, this sort of occupation squeezes the neck and spinal rope prompting early lumbar spondylosis and side effects of cervical spondylosis.
Symptoms of Cervical spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis side effects can differ from one individual to another and the degree of cervical spine torment relies upon the age of the influenced individual. A portion of the regular spondylosis symptoms are:
- Extreme firmness at the neck prompts manifestations of cervical torment in neck
- Weighty cervical spondylosis migraine that may start at the fundamental cervical spondylosis torment spaces of the neck
- Torment in the shoulder and arms that outcomes in the powerlessness to move the hands

- With enough rest and legitimate rest, cervical agony side effects will in general improve. The indications of cervical torment are greatest toward the beginning of the day and afterward again around evening time before bed.
- On the off chance that osteophytes cause cervical stenosis in the cervical bone, it squeezes the spinal line prompting a condition called cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The myelopathy significance is only it alludes to any sickness of the spinal line. The beginning of this optional condition can bring about the accompanying manifestations of spondylosis:
- A sensation of strange shivering, deadness, and shortcoming in the fringe areas like the arms, hands, feet, and legs
- Absence of equilibrium and coordination which prompts strolling and development challenges
- The spondylosis neck bone prompts unusual reflexes and causes arbitrary muscle fits
- The event of incontinence or the deficiency of power over one’s urinary bladder and defecations.

Age: Cervical spondylosis is a typical piece of maturing.
Occupation: Occupations that include dull neck movements, off-kilter situating or a ton of overhead work put additional weight on your neck.

Hereditary variables: A few people in specific families will encounter a greater amount of these progressions over the long haul, while others won’t.
Smoking: Smoking has been connected to expanded neck torment.
Treatment of Manyastambha
Nasya karma is the principal line of the executives clarified in the exemplary for urdwajatru gata vatavyadhi.

DEFINATION:-
Gastro-esophageal reflux disorder is a common condition that features a burning pain in the gastric tract or lower chest area, this is also known as Acid reflux and heart burn.
Heart Burns or Acid reflux occurs when the sphincter muscle of the esophagus (food pipe) at the lower end are relaxes at the wrong time, that causes stomach acid to back up into the esophagus (food pipe). This cause Acid reflux or heartburn, pain, Irritations and other signs and symptoms in the stomach. Constant and frequent Acid reflux can lead to gastro-esophageal reflux disorder (GERD).
In other words the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up or refluxes) into the esophagus (food pipe). The liquid can damage or inflame the esophagitis (lining) these are the visible signs of inflammation that occur in many patients. The Stomach juices mainly contains acid and pepsin named enzymes that are produced by the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme that helps in the digestion of proteins in the stomach. The refluxed stomach juice (liquid) may also contain bile that has backed-up into the stomach from the duodenum (first part of small intestine). So the Acid is most injurious component of the refluxed liquid. The bile and Pepsin enzymes may also injure the esophagus, they also causes inflammation and damage in the esophageal.
SYMPTOMS OF GASTRO-ESOPHAGIAL REFLUX DISORDERS
- Pain and burning sensation in the chest area, throat and stomach
- Heart burn
- Gas or Flatulence
- Chest Pain
- Regurgitation
- Indigestion
- Bad Breathing
- Constipation
- Nausea or vomiting
- Heaviness in the abdomen after eating
- Frequent burps
- Mimic heart pain (angina)
- Regurgitation of undigested food coming back into mouth

- Pain may extend to the back in many patients
- Stomach ailments like ulcers
- A bad lifestyle such as taking too much stress, sleeping less, drinking alcohol, and smoking etc.
- In many patients with GERD are awakened from sleep due to heart burn or pain
- Prolonged regurgitation of acidity can cause acid-induced erosions of teeth.
- Acidity can cause inflammation into the esophageal blood vessels
- Prolonged acidity can cause bleeding into the esophagus
- The bleeding may severe due to acidity
- Due to acid reflux swallowed food may get stuck into the esophagus, causes severe narrowing
- The refluxed acidic liquid can cause coughing
- Narrowing of the breathing tubes may resulting in an attack of asthma.
- Recurrent acidity can cause Inflammation of the larynx and throat
- The severe acidity resulting inflammation this can lead to a sore throat and hoarseness of voice
- The refluxed acidic liquid can cause infections and inflammation of the lungs
- The refluxed acidic liquid also cause aspiration that may lead to infection of the lungs and result in pneumonia. This type of pneumonia can cause Pulmonary fibrosis
CAUSES OF GASTRO-ESOPHAGIAL REFLUX DISORDERS
There are four common factors that contribute to GERD, these are following:-
- Lower Esophageal Sphincter Abnormalities
- Hiatal Hernias
- Abnormal Esophageal Contractions
- Prolonged or Slow emptying of the stomach.
Lower esophageal sphincter (LES)
The functions of the lower esophageal sphincter is the most important mechanism (factor) for preventing the acid reflux. The esophagus is a muscular, it is a tube like structure which extends from the lower throat to the stomach. The LES is a ring of muscle which surrounds the lower-most end of the esophagus and it joins to the stomach. When there is contracting and closing off the passage from esophagus to the stomach. So the closing of the passage helps to prevent the reflux. When saliva and food is swallowed, to allow the food or saliva the LES relaxes for a few seconds, this happens to pass the saliva and food from the esophagus into the stomach, and then it is closed again after all these process.
In the patients with GERD there are several different abnormalities are found. There are two factors that causes GERD. The first abnormality is, weak contraction of the LES, which reduces the ability to prevent reflux. The second abnormality is LES relaxations. These prolonged relaxations allow reflux to happen more easily.
Hiatal hernia
Hiatal hernias can cause reflux, in many patients with GERD have hiatal hernias. If there is a hiatal hernia, a small part of the upper stomach which attached to the esophagus pushes up through the diaphragm. As a result, a small part of the stomach and the lower esophageal sphincter come to lie in the chest, and the lower esophageal sphincter is no longer at the level of the diaphragm. It appears when the diaphragm that surrounds the lower esophageal sphincter is important in preventing reflux.
Esophageal contractions
The swallows are very important in eliminating the acid in the esophagus. Swallowing can causes a ring-like wave of contraction of the esophageal muscles, which narrows the inner cavity (lumen) of the esophagus. The contraction, can cause peristalsis, that peristalsis begins in the upper esophagus and moves to the lower esophagus. It pushes the food, and saliva from the esophagus into the stomach.
In patients with Gastro-esophageal reflux disorders, several abnormalities of contraction are occurred such as waves of contraction may not occurs after each swallow or the waves of contraction may die out before they come to the stomach. The pressure also generated by the contractions, that may be too weak to push the acid back into the stomach. Smoking can also cause GERD in many patients.
Gastro paresis (Emptying of the stomach)
Most reflux can occurs after meals. This reflux may be due to transient lower esophageal reflux relaxations that are caused by distention of the stomach with meal. The slower emptying of the stomach causes prolongation of the distention of the stomach after meals with food.
HOME REMEDIES FOR GASTRO-INTESTINAL REFLUX DISORDER:-
Saunf or Fennel seeds:-
One teaspoon of fennel seeds powder mix in a glass of warm water relieves acidity, heartburn, bloating and its symptoms. This also improves digestion.
Black Cumin Seeds:-
Take one tablespoon of cumin seeds Chew directly or those in a glass of water and its drink relieve acidity. Black cumin seeds are gastro-protective remedy.

Ginger:-
Drinking ginger tea or chewing raw ginger is very helpful to prevent acidity and its symptoms.
Banana:-
Taking banana neutralizes the acidity and gives relief from heartburn. A mixture of banana and milk helps to suppress excess acid secretion.
Papaya:-

UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF VACCINE
VACCINE- It is administered primarily to prevent from a disease. It is a suspension of weakened, killed, or fragmented microorganisms or toxins or of antibodies or lymphocytes.
How does it work?
It stimulates your immune system or the natural system of the body which fight against diseases. The healthy immune system recognizes the invading bacteria and viruses in addition it produce antibodies to destroy or disable them.
HISTORY OF VACCINE
In 1980s, the Smallpox was eradicated worldwide by through vaccination and cases of Poliomyelitis declined by 99%.
Vaccines have been developed of various diseases – Mumps, Measles, Typhoid fever, Cholera, Plague, Tuberculosis, Tularemia, Pneumococcal infection, tetanus, influenza, yellow fever, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some types of encephalitis, and typhus.
THE ROLE OF VACCINE IN COVID ERA
The daily count on 15April 2021 is noted to be double of the first peak making the Environment fearful.
The 2nd wave is affecting even to those who are staying indoors due to the large asymptomatic population and the presence of more infectious variants of the virus.
The detection of the UK strain in a significant proportion during genome surveillance in Delhi and Punjab has shown a 50% higher transmission, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The only way to prevent from this dreadful second wave is Vaccines, stringent lockdown, and awareness.
VACCINES AVAILABLE IN INDIA
There are two vaccines available in India-
COVAXIN® –
- Developer- Bharat Biotech in association with the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) – National Institute of Virology (NIV).
- It is made by using Whole-Virion Inactivated Vero Cell derived platform technology. Inactivated vaccines contain dead virus, which is incapable of infecting people but still able to instruct the immune system to mount a defensive reaction against an infection. Thus, do not replicate and are therefore unlikely to revert and cause pathological effects.
- COVAXIN® – efficacy rate is 81% in preventing COVID-19 according to interim 3rd phase trial results.
- Analysis from the National Institute of Virology indicates that vaccine-induced antibodies can neutralize the UK variant strains and other heterologous strains.
COVISHIELD-
- This Vaccine has been developed by the Oxford-AstraZeneca and is being manufactured by the Serum Institute of India (SII).
- It has been prepared by using the viral vector platform which is a totally different technology.
- A chimpanzee adenovirus – ChAdOx1 – It has been modified to enable it to carry the COVID-19 spike protein into the cells of humans. This virus can very well teach the immune system to prepare a mechanism against such viruses but it is incapable of infecting the receiver. Exactly the same technology was used to prepare vaccines for the viruses like Ebola.
- It has has shown a very satisfactory efficacy of 62%.
DOSES
- Two dose regimen for both the vaccines.
- After the first dose, the Second dose must be administered in between 6 to 8weeks.
MODE OF ADMINISTRATION
Both Covaxin and Covishield are IM or intramuscular vaccines
Site of administration- Deltoid region in arm.
AGE OF BENIFICIARIES
Covishield – Age limit- 18 years and above.
Covaxin- It can be given to people aged 12 years and above.
There is no assurance whether the vaccine can be given to children and pregnant women.
BENEFITS OF GETTING VACCINATED
The Herd immunity is achieved when a sufficient number of individuals in a population are immune to a disease. It is possible through vaccination of a large proportion of a population. In other words it would be said that if there is random mixing of individuals within the population, then the pathogen cannot be spread throughout the population.
It acts by lessening the chances of susceptible individuals coming in contact with a person who is infectious or breaking the transmission of infection.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF COVID-19 VACCINE
Minor Side effects that have been reported are as follows-
- Pain in the Injection site / Swelling / Redness / Itching
- Headache
- Fever
- Malaise/body aches
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Rashes
It is rare to get a severe allergic reaction after getting a dose.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU GET VACCINE?
You should mention some things regarding your health to your vaccinator provider/ Officer supervising about all of your medical conditions –
- If you are on regular medication for any illness, for how long and for which condition.
- Any allergies
- fever
- Bleeding disorder or are on a blood thinner.
- Immuno-compromised or are on a medicine that affects your immune system
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
In the above conditions vaccination should be avoided or consult your doctor regarding these issues.
FACTS CHECK
- The vaccines doesn’t contain live COVID 19 virus.
- It is not possible to contract COVID 19 virus from being vaccinated.
- Even if you have already had COVID 19 infection, the vaccine is recommended.
- It reduces hospitalization and deaths due to COVID 19 disease.
- After being vaccinated- One should continue to wear a mask, maintain social distance and practice proper hand hygiene.
