As per the World Health Organization (WHO) report in India, the overall prevalence of primary infertility ranges between 3.9 to 16.8%. A recent report on status of infertility states that, 50% is related to reproductive anomalies or disorders in the male, in which 90% of male infertility problems are related to Oligospermia and other abnormalities in semen analysis. As per Ayurveda, Oligospermia can be considered as Ksheena Shukra. Surgery, Hormone treatments, Medications and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) are the main line of treatment in Conventional medicine, but these are associated with many unwanted and serious adverse effects. The present case discussion is about the effective management of a case diagnosed as Ksheena Shukra (Oligospermia) with Ayurvedic intervention, which was posted for ART and Hormone therapy. The aim of this case report is to evaluate the effect of Ayurvedic treatment in the management of Ksheena Shukra. In this case study, Shodhana procedures (especially Virechana karma) were performed before the administration of Rasayana and Vajikarana drugs, which are Narasimha rasayana, Bhringarajasavam, Ashwagandha churna. The pre and post Semen analysis on the treatment period shows, marked increase in sperm count and motility. The outcome of this case reveals that the Oligospermia associated with male infertility can be effectively managed by Ayurvedic treatments.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to describe the progressive changes of chronic cluster headaches (CHs) in a patient who is being treated by a multimodal approach, using pharmacology, neurostimulation and physiotherapy. Subject: A male patient, 42 years of age was diagnosed with left-sided refractory chronic CH by a neurologist in November 2009. In June 2014, the patient underwent a surgical intervention in which a bilateral occipital nerve neurostimulator was implanted as a treatment for headache. Methods: Case report. Results: Primary findings included a decreased frequency of CH which lasted up to 2 months and sometimes even without pain. Besides this, there were decreased levels of anxiety, helplessness (PCS subscale) and a decreased impact of headache (HIT-6 scale). Bilateral pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) were improved along with an increase in strength and motor control of the neck muscles. These improvements were present at the conclusion of the treatment and maintained up to 4 months after the treatment. Conclusions: A multimodal approach, including pharmacology, neurostimulation and physiotherapy may be beneficial for patients with chronic CHs. Further studies such as case series and clinical trials are needed to confirm these results.

The aim of the case study is to evaluate the efficacy of Leech therapy along with ayurvedic treatment in Alopecia areata (INDRALUPTA). It is prospective interventional case report on alopecia areata treated with leech therapy and ayurvedic formulations. Using a subjective evaluation, an improvement in growth of hair on bald patches over scalp region was observed. An 18-year-old female patient, resident of Delhi, presented with complaints of two bald patches (right parietal & vertex) over the scalp without any secondary changes. With these complaints, the patient visited Shalya Tantra, Outpatient department (OPD No 16) at Chaudhary Brahm Prakash Ayurved Charak Sansthan, New Delhi. She took treatment for six weeks and got complete remission in her symptoms. Line of treatment adopted was tridosha shamaka, rakta-shodhaka and raktamokashana (Leech application). Leech therapy supplemented with ayurvedic formulations have definite role in Alopecia Areata (Indralupta) especially of recent origin. A case series or pilot study may further strengthen above case report and open new treatment arena for such cases. This case report can also be used to formulate hypothesis for management of baldness from an ayurvedic perspective.

Introduction Noninfectious aortitis has been increasingly reported worldwide with a growing prevalence in western medicine. Attributed to our increasingly diverse population, western surgeons must be vigilant to promptly differentiate these cases from its more common infectious counterpart in order to ensure subsequent appropriate management of these patients. Methods We present a case report of a 71-year-old Indo-Caribbean male who presented with nonspecific abdominal and back pain, found to have aortitis of a noninfectious etiology. Results and conclusion: While our patient’s process was ultimately managed without surgical intervention, the varied clinical presentation along with the lack of specific laboratory markers pose a challenge for surgeons to appropriately diagnose and manage aortitis. Appropriate diagnostic imaging, the utilization of a multidisciplinary team, and close patient monitoring are key components for effective management of this increasingly prevalent disease process.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.

This case report describes the positive outcome of a therapeutic intervention that integrated an intensive, residential component with follow-up telepractice for a 21 year old male who stutters. This therapy utilized an eclectic approach to intensive therapy in conjunction with a 12-month follow-up via video telepractice. The results indicated that the client benefited from the program as demonstrated by a reduction in percent stuttered syllables, a reduction in stuttering severity, and a change in attitudes and feelings related to stuttering and speaking.

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. AE is primarily localised in the liver. Echinococcus multilocularis imitates tumour-like behaviour. It can metastasise through blood or lymphatic system to distant organs. Echinococcosis often remains asymptomatic due to its long incubation period and indistinct symptoms. Clinical symptoms are determined by the parasite’s location. Diagnosis of echinococcosis is based on medical history, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, serology results, imaging methods and final histology findings. Surgical removal of the cyst with a safety margin, followed by chemotherapy is the therapeutic method of choice. Case report: We present a case report of alveolar echinococcosis in a thirty-year-old female patient in whom we surgically removed multiple liver foci of alveolar echinococcosis. The disease recurred after two years and required another surgical intervention. Conclusions: Alveolar echinococcosis is a disease with a high potential for a complete cure provided that it is diagnosed early and that the recommended therapeutic procedures are strictly adhered to.
