Summary: A 49-year-old man was diagnosed with pre-fibrotic myelofibrosis after acute left lower-limb ischemia requiring amputation and portal vein thrombosis. After surgery he developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with venous thromboembolism, successfully treated with argatroban followed by dabigatran. Our systematic review of the literature supports the use of dabigatran for suspected HIT.

Loss Of Strength

Purpose: Life style disorders demand a strict regimen throughout one’s life among which Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus are common. Hence the treatment aims an effective control along with Life style modification. The negligence towards the prescribed life style regimen would lead to many complications among which stroke are most prominent and the prevalence in India is 29%. Though the patient is under strict Anti hypertensive medications still one day he/she will land up in stroke hampering his rest of precious life. Aim: With this understanding a successful case report is presented to highlight the importance of Avasthiki Chikitsa with life style modification in controlling Hypertension and treating Pakshaghata from the root level. Materials and Methods: A 74 years old female patient, known case of HTN and DM was brought on a stretcher to the Panchakarma OPD of KLEU Ayurveda Hospital and Research Centre with the complain of loss of strength in left upper and lower limb associated with inability to speak since 9 days. Her MRI suggested Left Hemiplegia with B/L cerebellar hemorrhagic infract in occipital lobe. Initially treatment commenced with Shiromarmaghata Chikitsa with Shamanoushadhi along with modern medication which the patient had been advised. Later on when the patient started to improve in her blood parameters allied science medications were tapered and gradually stopped excluding her routine medication. After the clearance of Avarana, Panchakarma therapies were administered sequentially at various stage with a meticulous diet and exercise. Results: After 22 days of treatment Diabetes and Hypertension were under control, patient was able to walk with minimal support and speech also improved. Conclusion: A well planned diet along with Ayurvedic therapies based on the Awastha provides encouraging results in treating HTN, DM and Pakshaghata.

Lymphedema is a chronic edema that sometimes occurs after treatment of gynecologic cancer, and cellulitis often occurs concomitantly with lymphedema. On the other hand, necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a relatively rare, but life-threatening disease. The symptoms in cellulitis and NF are very similar. In this case report, we describe a case in which the diagnosis of NF in a lymphedematous limb was difficult. A 70-year-old woman had secondary lymphedema in bilateral legs and consulted our department. On the first day of lymphedema therapy, the patient complained of vomiting, diarrhea, and fever (37.7 °C) without local fever in the legs. She was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. On the next day, swelling and pain in her left leg occurred and her blood pressure was 59/44 mmHg. She was diagnosed with cellulitis accompanied by lower limb lymphedema and septic shock. On the second day, blisters appeared on the left leg, and computed tomography showed NF. We performed debridement under general anesthesia and her vital signs improved postoperatively. Streptococcus agalactiae (B) was detected in blood culture, and we administered bixillin and clindamycin. Postoperatively, necrosis in the skin and fat around the left ankle gradually spread, and it took 5 months to complete epithelialization. The diagnosis was more difficult than usual NF because patients with lymphedema often experience cellulitis. Clinicians should always think of NF to avoid mortality due to delayed treatment. This case report was approved by the institutional ethics committee.
