Vitamin A (retinol) is one of the key elements for regulating the immune response and controls the division and differentiation of epithelial cells of the mucous membranes of the bronchopulmonary system, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, eyes, etc. Its significance in the context of the COVID‑19 pandemic is difficult to overestimate. However, a number of studies conducted in the past have associated the additional intake of vitamin A with an increased risk of developing cancer, as a result of which vitamin A was practically excluded from therapeutic practice in developed countries. Our review highlights the role of vitamin A in maintaining human health and the latest data on its effect on the development mechanisms of somatic pathology.

Background: Sneha Kalpana is one among the several highly established Kalpana of Ayurvedic system of medicine. Many types of Taila Kalpana are mentioned in Ayurvedic classics and used effectively in therapeutic practice. Tila Taila is the most commonly using Taila. However Narikelataila, Erandataila, Sarshapataila, etc, are also used in special conditions. It is interesting to note that certain preparations are available in the market based on both TilaTaila and Narikela Taila. This is an attempt to comparatively evaluate the formulation Dhutturadi Taila prepared in Tila Taila and Narikela Taila as the bases. Dhutturadi Taila mentioned in Sahasrayogam is taken for the present study. Objectives: To comparatively analyse Dhutturadi Taila samples with classical and advanced analytical techniques. Materials and Methods: Dhutturadi Taila was prepared using two media i.e. Narikela Taila and Tila Taila. Both Taila samples were comparatively analysed with suitable physicochemical parameters and advanced instrumental methods of analysis. Conclusion: As per the existing result it seems that more amount of marker components are extracted into Tila Taila medium when compared with Narikela Taila.

Abstract Background This study examined the experiences of young people and their parents who attended an intensive day treatment programme for eating disorders online during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Online questionnaires were completed by 14 adolescents (12–18 years) and their parents (n = 19). The questionnaires included a mixture of rating questions (Likert scale) and free text responses. Free text responses were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results Three main themes were identified: 1) New discoveries, 2) Lost in translation and 3) The best of a bad situation. This study provides insight into the benefits and pitfalls of online treatment delivery in the adolescent day programme context, which has rapidly had to become part of the everyday therapeutic practice. Results indicate that there are advantages and disadvantages to this, and that parents and young people’s views differed. Conclusions This study suggests that the increased accessibility provided by online working does not necessarily translate to increased connection. Given the importance of therapeutic alliance in treatment outcomes, this will be an important consideration for future developments of online intensive treatments.

Phone Calls

Digital communication is omnipresent. In everyday life, social messenger apps are very popular. Thus, for some patients1 it seems intuitive to use such media to correspond with their professional therapists as well. From a practical perspective, this seems to be advantageous for the therapists themselves. However, this should not lead us to overlook the problems of such platforms, especially issues with data protection. In spite of the legally binding rollout of a safe communication route for therapeutic and medical services in Germany (the so-called “Telematik-Infrastruktur”), so far, there is no unproblematic communication platform for therapists and their patients. Special messenger apps, which explicitly do not store metadata, seem to be the least problematic besides classic phone calls or letters. However, they are not yet widely used. This paper aims to sensitize psychotherapists for their responsibility and to demonstrate technical options, which need to be weighed carefully in order to maximize data protection of digital communication in therapeutic practice.
