THE HINDU-Dec 05 2014
1,000 delegates from India expected to take part.
SDM College of Ayurveda organised a two-day national seminar on ‘Yakrit Vikara’, diseases involving the abnormal functions of the hepatobiliary system, here on December 5 and 6.
The hepatobiliary system refers to the liver, the gall bladder and the bile ducts and the way they work together to produce bile.
Addressing presspersons here on Monday, B.V. Prasanna, Chief Organising Secretary of the seminar and the Head of the Department of Roganidana at the college, said that nearly 1,000 delegates from India will take part in the seminar.
Nearly 200 delegates will also present papers at the two-day event.
He said ‘Yakrit Vikara’ had emerged as a major health problem in the country and throughout the world.
Many of the diseases were caused by either impaired conjugation, infection of the hepatobiliary system, alcohol consumption and the malignancy of the liver, the hepatic duct, the gall bladder, the common bile duct or the pancreas. A specialised infrastructure is needed to detect as well as diagnose it and a multi-disciplinary approach is needed for effective, curative or palliative treatment.
The seminar has assumed importance as Ayurvedic treatment for ‘Yakrit Vikara’ was an alternative effective option in contrast to other contemporary medical treatments.
The seminar will aim to documentcurrent advances in the field of diagnosis, laboratory investigations and treatment principles based on Ayurveda as well as current Western medical practices.
The seminar will include many keynote addresses from eminent scholars of Ayurveda specialised in ‘Yakrit Vikara’, scientific sessions and panel discussion.
U.T. Khader, Minister for Health and Family Welfare, will inaugurate the seminar. Shantharam Shetty, Pro Chancellor of Nitte University, Pramod Madhwaraj, MLA, will be the chief guests at the inaugural function.
D. Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala, will preside over the inauguration.
Vinay Kumar Sorake, Urban Development Minister, Vijaykumar Gogi, Director, Department of AYUSH, will be chief guests at the valedictory function on December 6, Prof. Prasanna said.
Nagaraj Poojary, organising secretary, was present.
