Introduction: The Bhasmas, herbo-minerals, are reported to produce adverse effects when used clinically. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the safety of Krishna Vajra Abhraka Bhasma (KVB), through acute and subacute toxicity testing.
Materials And Methods: After ethics committee approval, total 66 Wistar albino rats weighing 180-200 gms were used.
Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) immune response is crucial for disease management, although diminishing immunity raises the possibility of reinfection.
Methods: We examined the immunological response to SARS-CoV-2 in a cohort of convalescent COVID-19 patients in matched samples collected at 1 and 6-8 months after infection. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from enrolled study participants and flow cytometry analysis was done to assess the lymphocyte subsets of naive, effector, central memory, and effector memory CD4+ or CD8+ T cells in COVID-19 patients at 1 and 6-8 months after infection.

- - There have been limited documented cases of syringomas in medical literature.
- - The microscopic examination reveals normal sweat ducts within a fibrous capsule, with tumor cells organized in tube-like structures and solid clusters.
Article Synopsis
- Panchvalkala is an Ayurvedic medicine traditionally used for gynecological issues and has shown anticancer potential in cervical cancer cell lines.
- The study aimed to evaluate the safety of its aqueous extract (PVaq) in Swiss albino mice through a subacute toxicity study over 28 days.
- Results indicated no significant changes in food consumption, body weight, or vital organ health, suggesting that PVaq does not show acute toxicity in the tested mice.
