Abstract:
The priceless gift given by God to human lovers is included in the beautiful flowers of nature. The flower itself is a poem in itself. Flowers are rich in many mineral salts. Flowers vary from season to season. Flowers are the softest product of nature. The flower is the carrier of emotions. The flower is a symbol of love with its beauty, aroma, tenderness. Is also the communicator of love. The flower is vibrant. The basis of expression of depth of emotions is the flower itself. Flower is the bridge between the devotee and God. Vandana is the medium. Flowers are the main ingredient of devotion in Bhagavat worship. Flower means flower with its five qualities, beauty, color, softness, smell and pollen. It is a source of joy. It is the father of attraction. Beautiful expression of nature. Symbol of feelings, flower in the gift of nature is also a means of treatment of many diseases. Effectiveness of diseases in flower medicine is important from every point of view. Color is an integral part of human culture. Along with the color, its aroma has a profound effect on the mind. With their glimpses, the body and mind become cheerful. ईश्वर के द्वारा मानव प्रेमियों को दिया गया अमूल्य उपहार ‘फूल’ की प्रकृति की खूबसूरत नेमतों में शामिल है। फूल स्वयं अपने आप में एक कविता सा है। फूलों अनेक खनिज-लवणों से भरपूर होते है। हर मौसम के फूल अलग-अलग होते है।प्रकृति का कोमलतम उपादान है फूल। फूल भावनाओं का वाहक है। फूल प्रतीक है अपनी सुंदरता, सुगंध, कोमलता के साथ प्रेम का प्रतीक है। प्रेम का संदेश वाहक भी है। फूल जीवंत है। भावनाओं की गहराई के अभिव्यक्ति का आधार फूल ही है। भक्त एवं भगवान के बीच का सेतु है फूल। वंदना का माध्यम है। भगवत् आराधना में समर्पण का मुख्य उपादान है फूल। पुष्प अर्थात् फूल अपने पाँच गुणों, सौंदर्य, रंग, कोमलता, गंध और पराग के साथ क्रिया रुप है। आनंद का पोषक है। यह आकर्षण का जनक है। प्रकृति की सुंदर अभिव्यंजना है।भावनाओं के प्रतीक, प्रकृति के उपहार में फूल अनेक रोगों के उपचार के साधन भी है फूल चिकित्सा में रोगों की प्रभावशीलता हर दृष्टिकोण से महत्वपूर्ण है। रंग मानव संस्कृति का अभिन्न हिस्सा है। रंग के साथ-साथ उसकी सुंगध मन-मस्तिष्क पर गहरा प्रभाव डालती है। इनकी झलक भर से तन-मन प्रफुल्लित हो जाता है।

Abstract:
Green synthesis has gained wide attention as a sustainable, reliable, and eco-friendly approach to the synthesis of a variety of nanomaterials, including hybrid materials, metal/metal oxide nanoparticles, and bioinspired materials. Plant flowers contain diverse secondary compounds, including pigments, volatile substances contributing to fragrance, and other phenolics that have a profound ethnobotanical relevance, particularly in relation to the curing of diseases by ‘Pushpa Ayurveda’ or floral therapy. These compounds can be utilized as potent reducing agents for the synthesis of a variety of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), such as gold, silver, copper, zinc, iron, and cadmium. Phytochemicals from flowers can act both as reducing and stabilizing agents, besides having a role as precursor molecules for the formation of NPs. Furthermore, the synthesis is mostly performed at ambient room temperatures and is eco-friendly, as no toxic derivatives are formed. The NPs obtained exhibit unique and diverse properties, which can be harnessed for a variety of applications in different fields. This review reports the use of a variety of flower extracts for the green synthesis of several types of metallic nanoparticles and their applications. This review shows that flower extract was mainly used to design gold and silver nanoparticles, while other metals and metal oxides were less explored in relation to this synthesis. Flower-derived silver nanoparticles show good antibacterial, antioxidant, and insecticidal activities and can be used in different applications.

Abstract:
Depression is a complex psychological disorder. Although psychological counseling and traditional Western art therapy have obtained robust results in the diagnosis and treatment of depression, they are not well accepted in China due to cultural differences. Chinese flower and bird painting has been favored in China and beyond. It is of considerable significance to studying the auxiliary treatment of depression by using Chinese flower and bird painting. First of all, during observation of the painting style and works of patients with different severities of depression, such phenomena as broken strokes, roughness at the end of the painting brush, stroke discontinuity, and uneven breath are noted. These signs reflect impatience and lack of control in patients with depression. Subsequently, a three-stage Chinese flower and bird painting art therapy intervention focusing on breathing training to improve ink brush control is established, and this adjuvant art therapy was applied to 56 people with mild and moderate depression. Experimental results show that, via a 24-week Chinese flower and bird painting art therapy intervention, the observation group has a greater decline in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) scores than the control group ( p < .05). The study on electroencephalogram (EEG) shows that The normal rate of brain waves of the observation group in the middle and late stages of treatment and after treatment is 73%, significantly higher than 32% in the control group. This research shows that Chinese flower and bird painting can be used as a new and effective adjuvant treatment for depression in line with Chinese characteristics and is worthy of in-depth research.

Abstract:
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects mainly older men. It is estimated to affect 50% of 51-60-year-old men and 70% of 61-70-year-old men. BPH is a nonmalignant proliferation of epithelial and stromal cells of the prostate gland regions. Despite the use of conventional pharmacological therapy, herbal medicines are used in BPH therapy, and several mechanisms of action have been suggested based on their complex chemical composition. Considering the ethnomedicinal uses ofKalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri(KGB), we evaluated the inhibitory effects on the proliferation of stromal cells from primary benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) of four different aqueous extracts from this plant: underground parts from specimens in flower (T1 treatment), leaves from specimens in flower (T2 treatment), and flowers (T3 treatment) and leaves from specimens not in flower (T4 treatment). T1, T2, T3, and T4 treatments at 250μg/ml for 72 hours inhibited BPH cells by 56.7%, 29.2%, 39.4%, and 13.5%, respectively, showing that the KGB underground parts extract (T1 treatment) was the most active. Our findings show that the extract of the KGB underground parts (150 and 250μg/ml) stimulates important changes in the BPH cells, modulating crucial processes such as proliferation, viability, and apoptosis. HPLC-DAD-MS/MS analysis provided a tentative identification of glycosylated syringic acid derivatives, glycosylated forms of volatile compounds, and lignans in this extract. Finally, these results suggest that there is a potential therapeutic use for KGB in BPH, which could improve the clinical management of the disease.

Abstract:
Hypertension is the condition of blood pressure above normal when measurement pressure systolic larger than 140 mmhg and or diastolik larger than 90 mmhg. Hypertension with stroke and heart disease are number one cause of death in Indonesia. The hypertension mechanism in the body controlled by baroreceptors, regulation of body fluid’s volume, rennin-angiotension system and autoregulation. The handling of hypertension need to control blood pressure and prevent complication that could happen because hypertension. The theraphy of hypertension could be done by pharmacology and non-pharmacology. Pharmacology theraphy can be use drugs like diuretic anti-hypertension, beta-blockers, ace inhibitors, and ca blockers. Non-pharmacology theraphy using the lifestyle and consumption of natural ingredients to reduce the blood pressure. Either plant considered helpful to reduce the blood pressure is rosella’s flower. Rosella’s flower (Hibiscus Sabdariffa) is a plant that many known and used in various country including Indonesia. Part of these plant can be use is the red one. The influence of rosella’s flower in reductions the blood pressure because the compound are gassypetin, antosianin, and glucoside hibiscin. They are believed to substances as diuretics because can reduce viscosity of blood and blood pressure. Lot of research shows the influence of the provision of rosella’s extract to decrease blood pressure and having the effect of proportional to the ordinary anti-hypertension by administering a sedative. Through this, rosella’s flower can be the one alternative therapy for hypertension’s patients. And the conclusion is rosella’s flower extract having influence to reduce the blood pressure.

Abstract:
Bach®Original Flower Essence (BFE) Rescue®Remedy, a modality used since 1930 but not yet thoroughly investigated scientifically, was evaluated for the reduction of acute situational stress. A double-blind clinical trial comparing a standard dosage of BFE Rescue Remedy against a placebo of identical appearance was conducted in a sample of 111 individuals aged 18 to 49, randomized into treatment ( n = 53) and control ( n = 58) groups. The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was administered before and after the use of Rescue Remedy or placebo. Downward trends in anxiety level measurements were discovered in both the treatment (Rescue Remedy) and control (placebo) groups. Statistical analyses indicated that only the high-state anxiety treatment subgroup demonstrated a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. The results suggest that BFE Rescue Remedy may be effective in reducing high levels of situational anxiety.

Abstract:
This portfolio comprises of work submitted for the Practitioner Doctorate in Psychotherapeutic and Counselling Psychology. It contains academic, therapeutic practice and research dossiers. The aims of this introduction are to put the work into the context of my development as a practitioner, as well as to alert the reader to the various links between the papers in this portfolio. I have known for a long time that I wanted to be a therapist of some description. Several people bad an influence on this intention, firstly my mother, who worked in psychiatric teaching until I was 16. Secondly, there was my violin teacher who was also a music therapist. I feel that the combination of these two formative influences gave me an early insight into the different ways of approaching and being with human distress, the one from the head, and the other more from the heart. One thing I felt both women were united in was the intention to help, and use their skills to make a difference in the world. My decision (though it was more an evolution than a decision) to put my efforts into studying psychology come very much from the some intention; I want to do something worthwhile with the time given to me, to use the skills I was born with and the skills I have learned to make a difference in the world.

Abstract:
Electrophysical agents (EPA) are a fundamental element of therapy practice and are vital for the treatment of a variety of conditions. Many of these agents employ some form of electromagnetic fields (EMF), in which radiofrequency (RF) is a major component. The therapeutic effects of RF are mainly linked to their effects on pain relief and potential effects on tissue repair. Although RF across various frequency ranges has been in use, reviews have shown that the frequency ranges currently used in therapy practice have narrowed to within 30 kHz-30,000 kHz (30 MHz). The most commonly used and hence the most commonly researched are shortwave therapies (SWT) that operate at 27.12 MHz, which is presently used predominantly in its pulsed form (PSWT). In addition to SWT, devices employing significantly lower RF ranges have also been used widely despite their lack of evidence. Capacitive Resistive Monopolar Radiofrequency (CRMRF) that operates at 448 kHz is one such RF. This programme of research was designed to investigate the physiological and clinical efficacy of CRMRF delivered using the 'Indiba Activ 902' device. The project also evaluated the scope and evidence for RF-based EPAs in therapy, through a comprehensive review of literature. A total of 120 relevant clinical studies on either acute (30 studies) or chronic (90 studies) conditions were reviewed. Notable evidence was identified for chronic OA knee and acute postoperative pain and wound healing. Some evidence also exists for chronic low back pain and healing of chronic wounds. Only eight studies reported devices that employed RF outside the shortwave frequency band. In a randomised crossover laboratory study on asymptomatic adults, the effects of contrasting doses of CRMRF on skin temperature (SKT), skin blood flow (SBF), nerve conduction velocity (NCV), deep blood flow and the extensibility of tissues were examined against a placebo dose and a control condition with no treatment. The study further compared CRMRF results with that of PSWT. The results showed that high (moderately thermal) and low (sub/minimally thermal) doses of CRMRF significantly enhanced and sustained SKT (p < 0.001), while only the high dose meaningfully increased SBF (p < 0.001). High dose PSWT increased SKT marginally (p < 0.001) but did not sustain it. Further, the high and low dose CRMRF significantly enhanced blood flow volume at depth (p=0.003), while PSWT failed to show any significant impact. None of the treatments significantly affected deep blood flow velocity, tissue extensibility or NCV. These results were reproduced on a cohort of patients affected by OA knee in a randomised controlled trial (RCT), and the effects appeared more pronounced in the patients than in the asymptomatic people. More importantly, the RCT showed that a four-week high dose CRMRF treatment (eight sessions) produced statistically and clinically significant gains in pain and function associated with OA knee in the short to medium term (p < 0.001), which was also significantly more pronounced than the gains produced by a placebo, or standard care (p=0.001for pain; p=0.031 for function). The findings of this study were considered promising. It is therefore suggested that CRMRF-based treatment can potentially be used as an adjunct to current therapeutic methods to enhance the clinical outcomes. However, further studies are needed to substantiate this, and the current results will provide credible baseline data for future research.

Abstract:
Radiation therapy has been successful in treating lung cancer patients, but its efficacy is limited by the inability to account for the respiratory motion during treatment planning and radiation dose delivery. Physics-based lung deformation models facilitate the motion computation of both tumor and local lung tissue during radiation therapy. In this dissertation, a novel method is discussed to accurately register 3D lungs across the respiratory phases from 4D-CT datasets, which facilitates the estimation of the volumetric lung deformation models. This method uses multi-level and multi-resolution optical flow registration coupled with thin plate splines (TPS), to address registration issue of inconsistent intensity across respiratory phases. It achieves higher accuracy as compared to multi-resolution optical flow registration and other commonly used registration methods. Results of validation show that the lung registration is computed with 3 mm Target Registration Error (TRE) and approximately 3 mm Inverse Consistency Error (ICE). This registration method is further implemented in GPU based real time dose delivery simulation to assist radiation therapy planning.

Abstract:
A incontinência urinária na mulher é uma afecção crônica que altera a sua qualidade de vida. Um dos tratamentos propostos é o exercício da musculatura do assoalho pélvico. A eficácia desse tipo de terapêutica depende da adesão da paciente a ele. Aderir a um tratamento é seguir as orientações dadas; no caso dos exercícios da musculatura do assoalho pélvico, envolve a incorporação da terapêutica ao cotidiano. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever três aspectos relacionados à adesão ao tratamento: satisfação, expectativa e repetição ou não do tratamento. Para a sua realização foram entrevistadas 50 mulheres que aderiram ao tratamento, atendidas no setor de Uroginecologia da Disciplina de Ginecologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. Os resultados mostraram que 68% das mulheres estavam satisfeitas com o tratamento, 62% tinham expectativa de cura e apenas 12% não o repetiriam. Quando questionadas sobre os motivos para a não repetição do tratamento, a maior parte das mulheres referiu a não melhora do quadro clínico. Concluiu-se que a satisfação é alta nas mulheres que aderiram ao tratamento, a expectativa mais comum entre as entrevistadas é de cura e que o fator mais importante para repetir a terapêutica foi a melhora do quadro clínico.
The female urinary incontinence is a chronic disease which affects life quality. One of the treatments suggested is the pelvic floor exercises. The therapy depends on the patient’s adhesion. Adhesion to treatment implies to follow all medical instructions; in case of pelvic floor exercises, it involves its incorporation to daily routine. The aim of this study is to describe tree aspects regarding to the treatment adhesion – satisfaction, expectation and repetition (or not). Fifty women who have followed the treatment were interviewed. They were recruited from the Urogynecology Service of Clínicas Hospital of São Paulo University Medical School. The results demonstrated that 68% of women were satisfied with the treatment, 62% expected to be cured, and only 12% hadn’t undergone the treatment appropriately. When inquired about the reasons for not repeating the treatment, most of the women have mentioned that they haven’t seen positive results. In conclusion, patient’s satisfaction level was high, cure was the main expectation, and the good response to clinical treatment was the most important reasons to repeat the treatment.

Abstract:
Nasal high flow (NHF) therapy is a recent form of non-invasive respiratory support for patients suffering from respiratory distress that supplies high flows of heated and humidified air, oxygen or a mix via a nasal cannula. A number of in vivo studies have proven its effectiveness at improving blood oxygenation; however, its mechanisms of action remain widely unproven. Two proposed mechanisms of action, the CO2 washout of anatomic dead space and the production of positive airway pressure, are investigated in this thesis for the use of the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Ltd (FPH) Optiflow™ adult nasal cannula through a range of experiments. Five anatomically correct upper airway models produced from computed tomography (CT) scan data via 3D printing were employed during in vitro experiments and two live subjects participated in in vivo measurements. The human respiratory system was faithfully replicated for CO2 washout experiments with physiological CO2 diffusion into the lung replicated by a constant flow of CO2 into the lung pump. In vivo measurement of a natural breathing flow pattern was scaled to an average population tidal volume and respiratory rate for in vitro use. In vitro measurements of static pressure during natural breathing found similar flow resistances across the nasal passage for inspiratory and expiratory flow directions; however, across the entire upper airway greater resistance was seen for inspiration. Introduction of NHF therapy produced significant increases in all mean and peak airway pressures within the upper airway with a flow rate of 30 LPM fulfilling the inspiratory work requirements presented by the upper airway resistance. In vivo and in vitro hot wire anemometry measurements at the exterior nares indicated low velocity and turbulence intensity flows at peak inspiration and a high velocity jet with high turbulence during peak expiration. At natural breathing an in vitro anterior-posterior velopharynx traverse captured low turbulence intensities during peak inspiration and high turbulence intensities during peak expiration. Introduction of NHF therapy had little influence on the turbulence intensity profile of peak expiration yet did cause significant increases in the turbulence intensities during peak inspiration. Measurements of the CO2 concentration near the lung volume over many breath cycles were used to find time-averaged CO2 concentrations. For the standard airway model an average CO2 concentration of 4.88 ± 0.07 %V/V was determined during natural breathing. Implementation of increasing levels of NHF therapy generated significant washout of CO2 reducing this average concentration to a minimum of 3.81 ± 0.11 %V/V at a flow rate of 80 LPM. It was determined that airway geometry significantly affected the efficacy of the NHF therapy though CO2 washout was observed in all five airway models.

Abstract:
Carbon nanoparticles have the potential to significantly impact the medical field over the next decade. Currently, carbon nanoparticles are being studied for a myriad of applications, including drug delivery, selective laser therapy, imaging, and biosensing. The most common type of carbon particles being investigated are carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs are attractive materials for medical applications because of their physical properties and the ease with which they can be surface modified; however, there is a great deal of controversy over their possible toxicity. A more novel type of CNT that was discovered in 1999 by Iijima et al. is the carbon nanohorn [1]. Individual single-walled nanohorns (SWNHs) are single graphene sheets that roll into a conical open ended structure. The open ends of these cones are then attracted to one another through van der Waals interactions and form a flower-like final structure [2]. SWNHs are more favorable for medical applications because they are produced without the use of metal catalysts abating the concern of toxicity associated with CNTs.

Abstract:
This paper introduces a novel floating production platform concept for exploration and production of oil and gas in ultra deep water. The developmental effort has been supported by ABB in-house research and development budget. This novel production unit is an enhanced version of ABB Self-Installed Single Column Floater (SISCF) concept. This unit is envisioned to be completely assembled at quayside, towed to location, and be installed vertically to its target draft without the need of a major crane vessel. This enhanced feature reduces the wind load on the deck and hull significantly during wet tow as well as alleviates the uncertainty on the duration of an offshore operation, thereby widens the weather window for installation, hook-up and commissioning offshore. The enhanced SISCF (ESISCF) hull consists of four major components i.e., hard tank with center opening, soft tank with telescoping truss members and opening, permanent-stability ring, and three (3) telescoping support columns. During the installation phase, the telescoping columns are used to guide the permanent-stability ring, which provided needed stability in the installation phase. In addition, because of the way center truss being constructed, the hard tank is collapsed (or sit) right on top of the soft tank during wet tow thus reduced the wind arm (almost 100 ft) and wind forces. In its in-place position, ESISCF motion responses in waves are found to be excellent because of its deep draft. The current concept combines the advantages of a spar and a semi-submersible vessel. The paper will detail the concept, and outline the fabrication to installation scenario. The principal dimensions of a typical ESISCF for a given payload will be presented together with its stability and motion responses in waves based on the sea conditions representing a typical geographical area of Gulf of Mexico. The advantages of this concept will be explained in detail.

Abstract:
Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy, also known as insulin pump therapy, has become an important advancement in diabetes therapy to improve the quality of life for millions of diabetes patients. Insulin delivery failures caused by the precipitations of insulin within micro-sized CSII tubing systems have been reported in recent years. It has also been conjectured that the flow of insulin through an insulin infusion set may be reduced or inhibited by air bubbles entrained into the capillary CSII tubing system during the typical three- to five-day operation between refills. Currently, most solutions to insulin occlusion related problems are based on clinical trials. In the present study, an experimental and theoretic study was conducted to investigate the pulsed flows inside the micro-sized CSII tubing system. A micro-PIV system was used to provide detailed flow velocity field measurements inside the capillary CSII tubing system to characterize the transient behavior of the micro-flows upon the pulsed actuation of the insulin pump used in CSII therapy. It was found that the microflow inside the CSII tubing system is highly unsteady, which is much more interesting than the creeping flow that the nominal averaged flow rates would suggest. A theoretic frame work was also performed to model the pulsed micro-flows driven by the insulin pump to predict the transient behavior of the microflows and velocity distributions inside the micro-sized CSII tubing system. The measurement results and the theoretic predictions were compared quantitatively to elucidate underlying physics for a better understanding of the microphysical process associated with the insulin delivery in order to provide a better guidance for troubleshooting of insulin occlusion in CSII therapy.

Abstract:
Today, hemodialysis is a common therapy to treat people with severe chronic kidney disease. This therapy strongly relies upon the vascular access that connects the patient’s circulation to the artificial kidney and which is obtained by surgically creating an arteriovenous fistula in the arm. However, due to the high flows involved at the venous side and elevated venous pressures, the functioning of venous valves in the arm is significantly disturbed, which too often bring about serious dysfunctions or complications in the patient [1–2]. To this end, research is done to improve the outcome of vascular access in patients on hemodialysis therapy by means of computational modeling [3]. One crucial challenge, however, is experimental validation of these computer models, preferably by using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) for simulations of flow fields. Yet, the task of modeling the venous valve is daunting because this valve functions at very low physiological pressure differences. Moreover, PIV requires an experimental model to be fully transparent. In this study, we propose an innovative design of a PIV-compatible venous valve model which has the ability to function at minimal pressure differences and which is able to generate valuable PIV data.

Abstract:
A rising therapy for liver tumor treatment is the local delivery of Yttrium-90 (90Y) radiation via the injection of radioactive microspheres into the hepatic arteries. The elevated arterial blood flow supplying the liver tumor(s) hopefully directs the microspheres towards tumor cells rather than healthy liver tissue. While limited in precise control of the microspheres, the therapy has been shown to have positive response rates on tumors that are nonresponsive to chemotherapy or are disqualified for surgical resection or ablation. Thus, research studies seeking to improve clinical 90Y-microsphere therapy are crucial to advancing radiation oncologists’ ability to effectively treat the increasing number of patients afflicted with liver tumors1,2.
