Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is one of the most common diseases in gynecology at present. Some clinical trials have reported the effects of moxibustion and confirmed temporal factors are the important elements influencing the efficacy of moxibustion. However, no systematic review has yet been conducted. In this study, we assessed the effects of moxibustion in patients with PD enrolled in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the difference among different intervention times to start moxibustion. We extracted data for studies searched from 10 electronic databases and evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies. We discussed three outcomes: effective rate, pain remission, and the level of PGF2 in serum. Current clinical researches showed that, compared with nonmoxibustion treatments for PD, moxibustion leads to higher effective rate and lower level of PGF2 in serum. -
Harshavardhana [NCERT Notes on Ancient Indian History for UPSC]
UPSC Civil Services Examination UPSC Notes [GS-I] Topic: Harshavardhana [NCERT Notes on Ancient Indian History for UPSC] King Harshavardhana was also known as Harsha. He built a huge empire that extended from north & northwestern India till the Narmada in the South. His capital was Kannauj. His reforms and policies were generous and were always aimed at boosting the peace and prosperity of his people. King Harshavardhana deeds were praised by Chinese Buddhist traveller Xuanzang in his writings. Facts about King Harshavardhana (Reign: 606 A.D to 647 A.D.) Harshavardhana was born in 590 AD to King Prabhakaravardhana of Sthaneshvara (Thanesar, Haryana). He belonged to the Pushyabhuti also called Vardhana dynasty. He was a Hindu who later embraced Mahayana Buddhism. He was married to Durgavati. He had a daughter and two sons. His daughter married a king of Vallabhi whereas his sons were killed by his own minister. King Harshavardhana Ascension After Prabhakaravardhana died, his elder son Rajyavardhana ascended to the throne of Thanesar. Harsha had a sister, Rajyashri who was married to king Grahavarman of Kannauj. Sasanka, the Gauda king killed Grahavarman and kept Rajyashri prisoner. This prompted Rajyavardhana to fight against Sasanka. But Sasanka killed Rajyavardhana. This led the 16-year old Harshavardhana to ascend the throne of Thanesar in 606 AD. He vowed to avenge his brother’s murder and also rescue his sister. For this, he forged an alliance with Bhaskaravarman, the Kamarupa king. Harsha and Bhaskaravarman marched against Sasanka. Ultimately, Sasanka left for Bengal and Harsha became the king of Kannauj also. Empire of King Harshavardhana On acquiring Kannauj, Harsha united the two kingdoms of Thanesar and Kannauj. -
JRA 29 1 Bookreview 188..190
Reviews of Books Ibn Khaldun’s inconsistent scepticism and rationality, rejecting some but not all forms of magic and sorcery, (p. ) coupled with consistent religious faith is the leitmotif of Irwin’s intellectual portrait drawn from “another planet”. But is not this portrait consistent with the world of a medieval thinker? Would not any further rationalism be utter heresy? Ibn Khaldun’s conditional rationality prompts Irwin to join those who reject the view of Ibn Khaldun as ‘precursor’ of modern ideas. In the epilogue, com- ing back to the perspective from “another planet” announced in his introduction, Irwin candidly and refreshingly admits that he could not always understand Ibn Khaldun. Although he was one of the most outstanding figures of his age, Ibn Khaldun’s thoughts remained beyond the grasp of his contempor- aries. Robert Irwin sees him as a strikingly bleak and lonely figure (p. ), standing between the exceptional and the conventional, beyond categorisation. Irwin’s portrait of the philosopher is beautifully written, intriguing, stimulating and movingly intimate. <[email protected]> DORIS BEHRENS-ABOUSEIF School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London TREASURE,TRADE AND TRADITION:POST-KIDARITE COINS OF THE GANGETIC PLAINS AND THE PUNJAB FOOTHILLS, – CE.ByJOHN S. DEYELL. pp. New Delhi, Manohar Publishers, . doi:./S This is an important new book that answers a long-standing question in Indian numismatic history: where is the coinage of the great Puspabhụ ̄ti king Harsavardhana?̣ The only known coinage of this illustrious king is a small silver issue modelled on Gupta/Maukhari prototypes. Deyell did not set out to answer this question, but rather to study a series of base gold coins of a post- Kidarite style, showing a stylized king sacrificing at an altar on one side and a seated female deity on the other.1 Sir Alexander Cunningham attributed these coins in to a “Naga” or “Karkotaka” dynasty of Kashmir. -

Matulek: Succor in Smoke: A Historical and Comparative Analysis of Incense Introduction Medicine in traditional China was a dynamic, widespread, and all-encompassing aspect of society that drew from other facets of civilization to gain information, define etiology, diagnose illness, and offer treatment options to the sick. In the earlier periods of Chinese history, disease was explained and treated through the concepts of dissatisfied ancestors and malicious demonic possession. Expressed in the oracle bones of the Shang and Early Zhou Dynasties, mortal ailments were attributed to and thought to be controlled by volatile external forces. The Chinese medical tradition would shift from these approaches in subsequent dynasties, however, largely due to the introduction of China’s three major religions—Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. -
