Rationale & Objective: The concept of Prakriti is unique to Ayurveda, which is used for deciding the preventive and curative strategy to be adopted in the treatment of patients. It is the total of anatomical, physiological, and psychological domains of an individual. The diseases often manifest by susceptibility that depends upon Prakriti of individuals. COVID 19 is a new disease, where the status of the susceptibility of its victim in terms of Prakriti is not known. This study has been undertaken to determine the Prakriti of COVID 19 positive patients.
Method: The validated instrument CCRAS Prakriti assessment scale has been applied to the COVID 19 positive patients admitted between 16 May 2020 to 10 June 2020 at COVID hospital.
Result: Data of 117 patients aged 10 to 80 years have been analyzed. The ratio of male-female patients was 1.8:1. Most patients belonged to Vata-KaphaPrakriti (27%).Individuals with their Prakriti found in order of frequency were Pitta-Kapha (21%), Kapha (20%), Vata (13%), Vata-Pitta (11%), Sama (4%) and Pitta (3%).
Conclusion: Patients with Vata-Kapha, Pitta-Kapha, and Kapha dominant Prakriti have been found more in COVID19. The treatment strategies can be accordingly decided in respect of each patient.

The regulation of oxygen homeostasis is critical in physiology and disease pathogenesis. High Altitude environment or hypoxia (lack of oxygen) can lead to adverse health conditions such as HAPE despite initial adaptive physiological responses. Studying genetic, hematological and biochemical, and the physiological outcomes of hypoxia together could yield a comprehensive understanding and potentially uncover valuable biomarkers for predicting responses.

Article Synopsis
- Ayurveda suggests that each person has a unique entity that affects their physical, physiological, and psychological traits, influencing their reactions to stimuli beyond just genetics.
- This research seeks to validate this Ayurvedic concept by exploring the KCNJ11 gene's role in type 2 diabetes susceptibility through an analysis of patient and control groups.
- The study found that specific protein mutations were linked to diabetes in particular groups, indicating that variations in amino acids can impact protein function and contribute to the development of the disease.
