Unique Factor

Night-vision handheld scopes are of wide use in military operations at dark conditions. In some cases in the battlefield, as in our case report, if there is no light coming from any source (neither from Moon nor from Stars), infrared light-emitting diode illumination can be coupled with night-vision goggles. Reflected illumination from the target is mostly blue filtered through the night-vision goggles objective lens. Retinal damage induced by unfiltered blue light and visible light has been previously reported. We described a phototoxic maculopathy induced by night-vision handheld scope assembled with infrared light-emitting diode illuminator in two soldiers who are on duty at nights for nearly two-thirds of the last year. The phototoxic maculopathy can represent with typical optical coherence tomography findings such as intraretinal hyperreflective accumulation particularly located on the surface of outer retinal segments defect or presumably in the vicinity of the light passageway. Here, we presented a unique factor causing phototoxic maculopathy.

Guide Lines

A chronic venous leg ulcer is not so common in Ayurvedic practices. But deep vein thrombosis is more common in clinics. Venous and arterial diseases are most usual cause of leg ulcers accounting to 60 to 80% of them. On an average 33 to 60% of these ulcers are present for more than 6 weeks and therefore referred to as venous leg ulcers. The case reported here was as a result of repeated trauma with a history since 20 years. The treatment was given at IPD level diagnosing it as Upadrava Roopi Vatarakta with valid Chikitsa Siddhanta. This case report provides us a guide lines that even a chronic ulcer can be healed with proper assessment of Dosha, Dhatu, Strotas involvement.

Background: Recent advances in care aware that inadequate management of the healing process in wounds and the development of bacterial infections leads to increase morbidity. Health professionals have progressively recognized the value of choosing suitable dressings to manage wounds particularly in developing countries. Honey has been used for thousands of years as a wound dressing and considered as biologic treatment due to its multiple bioactivities related to healing process. Objective: The aim of this case report is to demonstrate that Argania Honey dressing improve the healing process in a venous leg ulcer. Method: Pure raw Argania honey (Argania spinosa, endemic tree in southwestern of Morocco) with no additives, pasteurization, or manipulation was used and provided from local beekeepers. A mechanical debridement process was achieved previously to the application of honey dressings to a venous leg ulcer of a 67-year-old woman affected by type II diabetes for 11 years. Results : The Argania honey dressing accompanied by mechanical debridement process demonstrated a rapid recovery and complete healing of the wound for 12 weeks approximately (79 days). Conclusion: This Moroccan honey (Argania) experienced for the first time in venous leg ulcer management may represent a good alternative to treat other types of wounds. Further investigations by using Argania honey dressing are required to explain its effect and the mechanisms involved in the improvement of healing process.

History Of

Light emitting diode (LED) bulb is an unusual cause of foreign body aspiration. We present a case of a 6-year-old boy who reported with a four-day history of difficulty in breathing and cough following a LED bulb aspiration retrieved via rigid bronchoscopy. This present case suggests that LED bulb should be considered in the differential diagnosis of foreign body aspirations in our environment.
