A hematoma can result from an injury to an artery, vein, or small capillary. A patient with 12x12 cm Hematoma of left gluteal region associated with severe pain and local tenderness was taken for Jalaukavacharana (leech therapy) as primary line of management.

New Discovery

Abstract Background The right and left lung anatomy are similar but asymmetrical. The right lung consists of three lobes, and the left lung consists of two lobes. Our study is unique because of discovering a very rare morphological feature of the left lung which has not been reported yet. By the way, we compared two different available chemical agents for pleurodesis (talc and bleomycin) according to side effects, complications, and pneumothorax recurrence. Case presentation We reported a case of bilateral primary spontaneous pneumothorax, who underwent talc slurry and bleomycin pleurodesis at right and left side retrospectively, and then complicate with left-sided recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax, so underwent open thoracotomy and was surprisingly and accidentally found to have 4 lobes and 3 fissures in left lung. Conclusion In our case report, there were one main oblique fissure and two accessory fissures which divided the lung into 4 separated lobes, and this discovery in human’s and other animals’ lung anatomy has not been previously reported. In our case study, the talc slurry was more effective in preventing spontaneous pneumothorax recurrence, but with more side effects than bleomycin. We could hypothesize that the morphological variation of the lung might affect spontaneous pneumothorax development and recurrence.

Chronic Disorder

Amavata is a very painful condition in day-to-day life. It is a chronic disorder related to especially sandhisthanas (joints). It can be compared with Rheumatoid Arthritis (R.A.). In modern medicine, R.A. is treated with steroids and various NSAIDS which has multiple side – effects. In Ayurveda, Amavata is caused due to impairment of Agni (indigestion) and vitiation of Vata dosha which form ‘Aama - The untransformed, non-assimilated compo- nent in the digestive process.' Amavata is a madhyama rogamarga disease and causes severe pain, stiffness and is difficult to treat. Hence, there are chances of recurrence. For this, in Ayurveda, both Shamana and Shodhana treatments are explained very well. In this case study, the patient was dependent on steroids and her physiological functioning body was hampered. By Ayurvedic intervention (Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa) we have effec- tively manage the disease by gradually tapering the steroids and ultimately stopped. The sequential treatment plan is effectively used in this case. Keywords: Amavata, Aama, Shamana, Shodhana.

Karna (ear), the organ of hearing is considered as one among the Navadwaras which is predominant in Akasha Mahabhuta. Karna Srava is one among the 28 Karna Rogas explained by Acharya Sushruta. The present article emphasises the importance of Sthanika Chikitsopakramas used to treat the disease Karna Srava successfully. A 24-year male patient approached Shalakya tantra OPD of SPSAMCH and RC, Arju-nabettahalli, Nelamangala with the complaints of right ear pain for 3 days associated with itching. On ex-amination, pus and fungus mass were found in the right ear and tympanic membrane was not visible. It was treated accordingly using appropriate Sthanika Chikitsopakramas like Karna Prakshalana and Karna Dhupana and Shamanoushadhis which gave complete relief to the patient. Based on the Lakshanas in the present case, Karna Srava is corelated to otomycosis which is having the similar symptoms. Otomycosis is a fungal infection of the ear canal with the symptoms of pain, itching, discharge and ear block. Any ail-ment connected with the ear should be treated as early as possible due to the importance of organ of hear-ing and also due to its delicacy and inaccessibility.

Good skin is an integral part of health. In the present era, skin diseases are becoming a major hazard for mental health more than physical harm as it attributes the cosmetic harmony. Skin diseases are the outcome of improper food habits and lifestyles. Ayurveda has described all the skin diseases under the heading of Kushta. It is further divided into Maha Kushta and Kshudra Kushta. Vipadika is a common disorder of skin mentioned under Kshudraroga characterized by fissures and cracks in the hand and feet with severe pain.1Vata Kapha Dosha is involved in this disease. The main features are Panipada Sputana along with Kandu, Thivravedana and Raga.2 It can be compared with palmoplantar psoriasis in modern science. It is an auto-immune condition, characterized by red scaly patches on palm and soles often with fissures and bleeding. Ayurvedic treatment is very effective in these conditions. A 49-year-old male patient came to KVG Ayurveda Medical College, KC, OPD with complaints of itching, scaly lesion and pain in palms and soles, for 4 months. According to Lakshanas, it is diagnosed as Vipadika and treated with Shodhana, Shamana and Rasayana Oushadis and the patient got good relief. Ayurvedic treatment is very effective in the management of skin diseases because Ayurveda removes Doshas from its root. The present case study proves the Ayurvedic management of Vipadika Kushta is very effective with promising results. Keywords: Vipadika Kushta, palmo plantar psoriasis, Shodana, Shamana, Rasayana.

It is thought to be rare, affecting about 16–133 cases per million. There is no cure for blepharospasm in modern practice. Generally, doctors inject botox injection into eyelid mus- cles which need to get injected in every 4-6 month, rather than permanent benefits it has lots of side effects like diplopia ectropion etc. Ayurveda can be useful in the treatment of blepharospasm and its complication that it is a Vataj Vyadhi all Vatashamak therapies could be effective for its treatment.
