Episcleritis is an inflammatory condition of the episclera producing local redness and mild soreness or discomfort. By appearance it looks similar to conjunctivitis, but there will be no discharge or tearing. It typically affects young adults, being twice more common in women than men. There are many treatments available for episcleritis but they all include the use of corticosteroids which on long run produces side effects like posterior subcapsular cataract, glaucoma, allergic conjunctivitis. So the development of a treatment protocol devoid of corticosteroids is the need of today`s era. In Ayurveda, the signs and symptoms of this can be compared with the lakshanas of Sirapidaka. The present paper discusses a case of episcleritis and its Ayurvedic treatment.

Foreign bodies represent a common cause of eye related complaints for adult and paediatric patients presenting to primary care physicians and ophthalmologists. Corneal foreign body is defined as any microscopic or macroscopic material from the external environment which may lodge in the cornea - the anterior transparent part of the eye that overlies the anterior chamber. Patient of corneal foreign body is frequently self-evident by history that is foreign body sensation, pain, photophobia and lacrimation. Decreased vision may also be reported in few patients. The Lakshanas explained under Sashalya Netra in Ayurveda can be correlated with the Corneal foreign body. Here is a case report of Corneal foreign body which was successfully treated with Ayurvedic treatment principles with Mahatriphaladi Ghrita Aschyotana and Yashtimadhu Ksheera Paka Seka for 6 days after its removal. There was a complete relief in Signs and Symptoms after the treatment. Hence the treatment protocol can be adopted in cases of corneal foreign body.

Amavata is a chronic, progressive and crippling disorder caused due to generation of ama and its association with vitiated vata dosha and deposition in shleshma sthana (joints). Clinically resembling with Rheumatoid Arthirtis, it poses a challenge for the physician owing to its chronicity, morbidity and complications. The treasure of Ayurveda therapeutics has laid out detailed treatment line for amavata. A 13years old male patient reported to this hospital with pain and stiffness of metacarpophalangeal joints of right hand followed by pain in corresponding joints of other hand 1 year back. This was succeeded by pain and mild swelling on bilateral wrist, ankle and elbow joints. Based on clinical examination and blood investigations, diagnosis of amavata was made and Ayurvedic treatment protocol was advised with baluka sweda (sudation) as external application, rasnasaptak kashayam and dashmoolharitaki avaleha for oral intake for 30 days. The patient was asked for follow up every 15 days up to total of 45 days. Assessment was done subjectively based on clinical symptoms and blood investigations as objective parameters. There was substantially significant improvement and the patient felt relieved of the pain and inflammation of the joints after the treatment. This case study reveals the potential of Ayurvedic treatment protocol in management of amavata and may form a basis for further detailed study of the subject.

Depression is common disorder and contributes largely to nonfatal health loss characterized by feeling of sadness or loss of interest in activities which can be correlated to kaphaja Unmada. In Ayurveda, choice of treatment for Kaphaja Unmada is Vamana with Satwavajaya Chikitsa, Shamana Aushadhi, and Medhya Rasayana. A treatment protocol was designed based on signs and symptoms of the patient and was administered Sarvanga Udvartana with Bashpa Sweda, Sirotalam, Vamana, Patent medicine (Composed of Jyotishmati Taila, Shuddha Gandhaka, Shankhapushpi, Vacha, Jatamamsi and Bhringraja) and Saraswatarishta. This treatment was helpful in reducing the intensity of symptoms and improving his quality of life of an extent. This helps us to understand the scope of Ayurvedic intervention for mental disorders. Ayurveda provides various effective solutions to various diseases which come under the umbrella of Unmada.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is the inability to close the velopharyngeal sphincter during phonation and/or feeding. VPI is clinically characterised by hypernasal speech and nasal regurgitation. In cases of severe VPI, pharyngoplasty is recommended. Cases of mild-to-moderate VPI can be treated with fat grafting of the posterior pharyngeal wall in addition to speech therapy. The lipofilling can also be useful after pharyngoplasty to improve the outcomes. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients (14 males and 7 females), ages 4–23 affected by mild-to-moderate VPI and treated with lipofilling were included in this retrospective study. The mean injected fat volume was 7.95 cc (median 6 cc, min 4 cc, max 20 cc and range 16 cc). The follow-up ranged from 6 to 60 months. The pre- and post-operative Borel–Maisonny scores were compared using Wilcoxon test. Moreover, we performed a telephone survey with the aim to assess the parental perception on child's speech and quality of life after the surgical treatment. Results: Despite the small sample size, in this case series, we observed a statistically significant Borel–Maisonny score improvement and a parental satisfaction rate of about 85%. Conclusions: The augmentation of the posterior pharyngeal wall in addition to speech therapy improved the Borel–Maisonny score and the intelligibility of this case series of patients affected by mild-to-moderate VPI. In these patients, evaluated in a multidisciplinary approach, this technique allowed us to avoid major surgical procedures that would modify the anatomy of the velopharyngeal port. However, prospective comparative studies or randomised controlled trials could be useful to compare fat grafting with velopharyngoplasty techniques, with the aim to clarify indications and to define a specific treatment protocol.

Foreign body ingestion occurs in not only children but also adults, particularly those with history of neurologic disease, alcohol use, or psychiatric disease. We present the case of a 40-year-old male with schizophrenia who presented to the emergency room with a long history of pharyngeal foreign body sensation which had recently progressed to include trismus, odynophagia, and dyspnea. Flexible laryngoscopy demonstrated fullness of the right posterior pharyngeal wall and computed tomography (CT) showed a linear opaque foreign body extending from the level of the oropharynx to the thyroid ala. Further history elicited that he stabbed himself in the pharynx two years prior with a toothbrush following a command hallucination. The toothbrush was removed uneventfully via an external approach. The patient was discharged with psychiatry follow-up. This case is unusual due to the submucosal location of the foreign body and the length of retention. It demonstrates the atypical nature which patients with comorbid psychiatric illness may present following foreign body injury and the use of an external surgical approach for the removal of a retained foreign body based on CT reconstruction.

Infertility is defined as failure to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus. Tubal blockage is one of the most common causative factors for female infertility. The prevalence of fallopian tubal obstruction was 19.1% in the fertility age group. In this case study patient suffered from infertility since 3yrs and diagnosed as primary infertility due to right tubal blockage after allopathic consultation. IUI has done thrice which went unsuccessful and was advised for IVF. But she was reluctant to do the same. So she approached OPD of GAVCH for W&C, Poojappura, Kerala for Ayurvedic management. Patient was managed with Ayurvedic treatment protocol including internal medications and purification therapies. The line of treatment was to normalize the Vata-kapha dosha and removes the Sroto avarodha in the fallopian tube. Uttaravasti delivers medicines close to Garbhashaya & Yoni especially in fallopian tubes. Taila can help to clear the Sroto rodha due to its Vyavayi, Vikashi and Sookshma property. Just after one cycle of treatment patient came with positive urine pregnancy test after one week of missed period. Then she took regular antenatal care from an allopathic hospital and delivered a healthy male baby of 2.8 kg.

Present Case Study

<p class="Default">Total laryngectomy leads to drastic anatomical changes in the swallowing and breathing mechanism. Reduced tongue base retraction, poor pharyngeal clearance, stricture and prominence in the posterior pharyngeal wall have been reported to cause swallowing difficulties in individuals with total laryngectomy. The present case study describes the swallowing characteristics in an individual with total laryngectomy and discusses efficacy of swallowing maneuvers in total laryngectomy. A 55 yr/male, operated case of total laryngectomy using TEP reported with complaint of food getting stuck in the throat and vomiting sensation. He was fed orally and could tolerate only thick liquids. Swallowing assessment was carried out by clinical and instrumental tools (modified barium swallow) which revealed cricopharyngeal prominence, poor pharyngeal clearance and significant post swallow residue. Effortful swallow was attempted to explore the change in swallowing mechanism. Relaxation of pharyngeal wall with better pharyngeal clearance was seen with the maneuver. Clinically, the case reported of ability to swallow semisolids and solids well with the maneuver. At 3 month follow up, the case reported no difficulty in swallowing semisolids and solids orally. The above case study highlights on radiological evidence of swallowing abnormalities following total laryngectomy and further on the efficacy of maneuver on mechanism of swallowing. Hence, it can be noted that swallowing intervention has strong implications in patients with total laryngectomy. </p>
