Clinical findings of two brothers suffering from progressive muscular dystrophy pseudohypertrophic type according to Duchenne are reported. Literatures dealing with its clinical classification, biochemical disturbances, hypotheses of the pathogenesis, management of treatment, mode of action of A.T.P. and the pedigree have been briefly reported. Progressive Muscular Dystrophy is a progressive disease affecting voluntary muscles; It is characterized by a decreased strength in the affected muscles with rapid or slow gradual progression. About 45% of the patients gave a history that at least another member of the family is affected by the disease.

Highly Effective

Bhagandara (Fistula in ano) is a common anorectal condition prevalent world wide, and its prevalence is second highest after Arshas (Haemorrhoids). Kshara Karma is a one of the parasurgical procedure in Ayurveda. In this study Palasha Kshara Sutra is used in Bhagandara (Fistula-in-ano). Though, Apamarga Kshara Sutra is highly effective in the management of Fistula-in-ano. But pain, irritation, difficulty in preparation has limited its use. Thus, various type of Kshara Sutra tried with their efficacy in different angle. In this present study effort will be made to define the probable mode of action of Palasha Kshara Sutra prepared in Arka Ksheera in Fistula-in-Ano. This is equally effective with less pain and easy to prepare because a single plant is enough and not a seasonal plant. A 56 yr old male presented with complaints of painful swelling with pus discharge in the anal region since 1 week has been presented here.

Muscle Wasting Disease

Ducchen’s muscular dystrophy is most common X-linked recessive disorder affecting 30 in 100,000 live male births. The primary cause of this disease is mutations in Dystrophin gene which is essential for the structural and functional integrity of muscle. It is a progressive muscle wasting disease in which patients frequently develop contractures and lose the ability to walk between 6 and 12 years of age. With progressive disease most patients succumb to death from respiratory failure and cardiac dysfunction in their twenties. As this is a genetic disorder we can consider it as Adibala Pravritta Vyadhi. As Mamsa Kshaya is seen at some muscles and Mamsa Vriddhi at other this is an Avarana Vata Vyadhi. In both Upsthambha and Nirupasthmbha Vatavyadhi, Basthi is considered as prime choice of treatment. A Variety of Ksheerabasti in the form of Kalabasti is studied in this condition by taking subjective and objective parameters. As this has given better improvement with no adverse effects in the patient, it can be tried in large number of patients.

Corneal Tomography

Purpose: Ocular features of Alport syndrome include anterior lenticonus, posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy, and fleck-and-dot retinopathy in most cases. Keratoconus in such patients has been rarely mentioned in previous studies. To our knowledge, this is the first report of corneal cross-linking for halting the progression of keratoconus in a patient with Alport syndrome. Case report: A 22-year-old male was referred for his initial corneal topography, after he was already prescribed with rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. Alport syndrome was diagnosed in his infancy and gene COL4A5 mutation was confirmed. Ophthalmological evaluation confirmed keratoconus. One-year follow-up showed a progression on his right eye and standard corneal cross-linking was performed. Stabilization of the disease marked by normalization in visual function and corneal tomography values was noticed 1 year after the procedure. Conclusions: When diagnosing ocular clinical findings of Alport syndrome, keratoconus should be considered. Standard corneal cross-linking protocol can halt its progression.

A 13 years old boy admitted with the complaint of progressive exophthalmos and gradually decreasing vision on right eye, also occasional headache and deformity on the right fronto-orbital region. Radiological & clinical findings revealed a case of frontal osteoma in the right frontal sinus extending up to right frontal lobe, eroding right roof of the orbit. Complete excision of the tumor mass was possible surgically. Biopsy confirmed a case of osteoma. Below is a discussion on diagnosis & management of frontal osteomaPulse Vol.9 January-December 2016 p.45-48
