Psychosomatic - psyche (mind) and soma (body) -A psychosomatic disorder is a disease which involves both mind and body. Some physical diseases are thought to be particularly prone to be made worse by mental conditions such as stress and anxiety. Your current mental status can influence how bad a physical disease is, at any given time. Both mind and body are a single identity, so the involvements of one definitely affect the others. So the bidirectional approach should be done to proper diagnosis and management of psychosomatic disorders. In Ayurveda detail description is given about psychic (Manasika), Somatic (Sharirika) and psychosomatic disorders (Manodaihika Vyadhi), their mode of treatment, they are as follows.

ABSTRACTHalitosis or oral malodor is an offensive odor originating from the oral cavity, leading to anxiety and psychosocial embarrassment. A patient with halitosis is most likely to contact primary care practitioner for the diagnosis and management. With proper diagnosis, identification of the etiology and timely referrals certain steps are taken to create a successful individualized therapeutic approach for each patient seeking assistance. It is significant to highlight the necessity of an interdisciplinary method for the treatment of halitosis to prevent misdiagnosis or unnecessary treatment. The literature on halitosis, especially with randomized clinical trials, is scarce and additional studies are required. This article succinctly focuses on the development of a systematic flow of events to come to the best management of the halitosis from the primary care practitioner's point of view.

The incidence and prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections are steadily increasing worldwide, partially due to the increased incidence of immunocompromised conditions, such as the post-transplantation state. The importance of proper diagnosis and management of NTM infection has been recently recognized. Host immunological responses play integral roles in vulnerability to NTM infections, and may contribute to the onset of specific types of NTM infection. Furthermore, distinct NTM species are known to affect and attenuate these host immune responses in unique manners. Therefore, host immune responses must be understood with respect to each causative NTM species. Here, we review innate, cellular-mediated, and humoral immunity to NTM and provide perspectives on novel diagnostic approaches regarding each NTM species.

Proper Diagnosis

Eczema of the nipple and areola can occasionally develop in the breastfeeding patient and is associated with sore, burning, and painful areolae and nipples. Management includes elimination of any precipitating allergens and irritants and the judicious use of appropriate topical corticosteroid preparations. Patients must also be offered effective pain control and support. The proper diagnosis and management of eczema of the nipple and areola in breastfeeding patients will prevent premature and iatrogenic weaning.

BackgroundRelevance of consultation liaison psychiatry is conditioned by trend of steady rise of psychosomatic disorders and insufficient development of supplied forms and methods of medical care to patients with this pathology.AimTo study incidence rate of psychosomatic disorders in primary health care, to develop algorithm of medical care.Material and methodsA total of 2010 patients of the primary health care unit were examined. Methods used: clinical-psychopathological, clinical-dynamic, questionnaire screening, statistical (factor analysis).ResultsMental disorders, co-morbid with physical pathology, constituted 3.9% of the contingent with predominance of psychosomatic disorders–15.6 per 10,000 of the population. Respective from clinical-dynamic structure of psychosomatic disorders three groups of patients were distinguished: in need for consultation by a psychiatrist (22.9%); for course treatment by psychiatrist and subsequent observation by physicians (28%); and for systematic therapy and observation by psychiatrist (49.1%). Patients with psychosomatic disorders addressed general medicine network 1–2 years after onset of mental disorder and 6.4 ± 1.2 years after diagnostics of somatic pathology. Patients had predominantly cardiovascular (37.7%; P < 0.05), respiratory (20.5%), and gastrointestinal diseases (20.9%). Exacerbation of psychosomatic disorder was reliably interrelated with psychotraumatic situation and exacerbation of physical pathology. Introduced algorithm of psychiatric consultation consisted of:– evaluation of mental and physical status;– distinguishing the nosological groups;– choice of therapy;– formation of groups of observation (risk groups in need for course therapy, systematic therapy).ConclusionConsultation liaison psychiatry in general medical institution allows widening accessibility of psychiatric care and makes its provision more cost-effective.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Introduction: The Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) has caused a serious threat to people’s mental health causing psychosomatic disorders such as panic disorder, anxiety, and depression. Aim: To find out the correlation between the occurrence of psychosomatic disorders and age during the COVID-19 lockdown phase. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in Department of Physiotherapy at RK University, Rajkot, Gujarat, India. Males and females of age ≥21 years, with an ability to understand and fill Google form were recruited for the study. The subjects were divided into four groups according to age 21-34 years, 35-54 years, 55-64 years, and 65 years and older. There were 250 participants in each group. The subjects were asked to fill the COVID-19 Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI). Data were analysed by using software Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 20. The normality of data was checked by the Shapiro Wilk test. Data followed parametric type so; Pearson correlation test was applied to find out the correlation between age and CPDI score. Results: The mean age of the population was 49.24±18.14 years. The mean CPDI scale scores were 27.572, 31.948, 31.364, and 35.328, respectively from groups 1 to 4. There was a significant positive correlation (p-value=0.031) in group 4, while no significance was found in group 1 (p-value=0.074), group 2 (p-value=0.067), and group 3 (p-value=0.062) Conclusion: There was a significant positive correlation between age and psychosomatic disorder occurrence in the geriatric age group (65 years and older) in the Rajkot city.

Cracked tooth is a distinct type of longitudinal tooth fracture which occurs very commonly and its diagnosis can be challenging. This type of fracture tends to grow and change over time. Clinical diagnosis is difficult because the signs and symptoms are variable or nonspecific and may even resemble post-treatment disease following root canal treatment or periodontal disease. This variety and unpredictability make the cracked tooth a challenging diagnostic entity. In this paper we present a case of cracked tooth and emphasise on the timely proper diagnosis and management.

Since 1987 in New Zealand a form of person-centred healthcare has emerged, which was originally loosely  referred to as ‘medicine and story’ and then developed into a University program titled MindBody Healthcare, but more recently has been described in clinical settings and publications as the Whole Person Approach. This paper emphasises the co-emergence of physicality and subjectivity from conception and the harm that comes from keeping mind and body apart in the treatment of physical illness of all kinds. Symbolic physical diseases provide particularly vivid and glaring examples of the need to attend to patient subjectivity as a part of treatment. Clinicians must learn to deal with whole persons and the patient’s story is a practical doorway into the complexity of this whole. Training clinicians over two decades to become whole person-focussed and competent has revealed that clinicians need sustained education to move from the typical Western healthcare dualistic view of patients with physical disease to a unitive, non-dualistic, whole person understanding. It takes time, practice, support and supervision for this to be expressed comfortably in clinical settings. The shift from expert clinician-to-disease focus to a more human-to-human dynamic, underwriting everything that is done, can be very challenging for some clinicians. Specific attitudes are required and some skills in eliciting relevant story can be learned quite easily. There are many sources of resistances to these changes in the health institutions and clinicians are more of a problem than patients. Each clinical discipline within the health sector tends to have unique problems. But the rewards for whole person practice are great for both clinicians and patients.
