Difficult Patients

This single case study illustrates a methodology for identifying recurrent pathological emotional states in a hospitalized, borderline patient. Parallel therapeutic inputs are delineated and examined in terms of patient-specific responses. The results indicate that ratings of nursing notes recorded across three periods of hospitalization can reliably isolate the patient's most salient and debilitating emotional states. State-specific therapeutic interventions are extracted and their effectiveness noted. The analyses illustrate clinical phenomena which are congruent with what is known about borderline symptomatology. In addition, the study locates therapeutic errors which often occur when working with difficult patients.

Initial Results

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulty recognizing subtle expressions of feelings, identifying and understanding various other states of emotion expressed by others, and knowing what to do in a set of conditions that exist at a particular time in a particular place. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects that a music-movement programme can have on a 6-year-old girl with ASD ‐ specifically her ability to recognize and understand the feelings of others, communicate clearly about her personal emotional states and build stronger relationships. Results showed that the programme appeared to enhance empathic development for the young girl with ASD and reduced the frequency of difficulty in determining emotional reactions in others, describing emotional states, and difficulty thinking and feeling about a situation. These initial results support the use of the programme to reduce maladaptive behaviours of children with ASD and increase their awareness of and sensitivity towards others.

The Subject

Abstract The relations between the emotions and the brain's functioning have been the subject of scientific investigation over the past decade. This report continues this investigation in a single case study that required the subject to evoke different emotional states (happiness, love, depression) and rate the emotional states on an intensity scale while brain activity was monitored by quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG). The variations in brain activation patterns in these evoked emotional states indicated a predominant QEEQ activation of the beta2 (32–64 Hz) frequency range for all emotional states, with specificity of left hemisphere and temporal lobe activation for happiness and right hemisphere for depression. The response pattern also indicated a greater activation of central and posterior locations for the emotional states.

Uncontrolled Diabetes

Diabetes is a major health problem in whole world. In spite of many drugs available, uncontrolled diabetes remains a challenge. Moreover, some anti-diabetic drugs are on the verge of withdrawal due to its adverse effects. So, there is an acute need for a new effective and safe drug. So in this case study we used Ayurvedic medicine ‘Mustadi Kwatha’ mentioned in Bhaishajya Ratnawali in Prameha Chikitsa. A single case study was done on use of Mustadi Kwatha on Type II Diabetes Mellitus. Significant reduction was seen in blood sugar level fasting and post-prandial.
