Symptoms And Signs

Progressive Cerebellar Ataxia inherited by autosomal dominant transmission is known as ‘Spinocerebellar Ataxia’ (SCA) which is a neurological disorder. The global prevalence of ataxia is 0.3 – 2 per 1,00,000 population. The prevalence varies significantly depending on the race, place of birth and founder effect. The symptoms and signs of ataxia consists of gait impairment, unclear speech, visual blurring due to nystagmus, poor co – ordination and tremors with the movements. This leads to the dependency of the patient on the others for routine work. In the present study, a case previously diagnosed as spinocerebellar ataxia treated with Ayurvedic treatment is reported. A 55years old female patient having complaints of imbalance while walking, giddiness, unclear speech, poor co-ordination and tremors was treated with Shalishashtik Pinda Sweda over extremities, Nasya with Ksheerbala Taila, Shirodhara and Padabhyanga with Tila Taila and Baladi Niruha Basti (enema) for 28days. Along with these karma, internal medicines were also given.

Abstract Background Mutations in the Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor Type 1 (ITPR1) gene cause spinocerebellar ataxia type 29 (SCA29), a rare congenital-onset autosomal dominant non-progressive cerebellar ataxia. The Māori, indigenous to New Zealand, are an understudied population for genetic ataxias. Case presentation We investigated the genetic origins of spinocerebellar ataxia in a family of Māori descent consisting of two affected sisters and their unaffected parents. Whole exome sequencing identified a pathogenic variant, p.Thr267Met, in ITPR1 in both sisters, establishing their diagnosis as SCA29. Conclusions We report the identification of a family of Māori descent with a mutation causing SCA29, extending the worldwide scope of this disease. Although this mutation has occurred de novo in other populations, suggesting a mutational hotspot, the children in this family inherited it from their unaffected mother who was germline mosaic.

Inherited Ataxias

This chapter deals with disorders of the cerebellum and its connections. These conditions may be identified by the mode of onset—whether acute, subacute, chronic, or episodic. The chronic ataxias are inherited in various patterns: autosomal dominant; autosomal recessive; X-linked. Autosomal dominant inherited ataxias discussed include spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal dominant episodic ataxia, and glucose transporter type I deficiency syndrome. Some episodic ataxias have variable inheritance. Other episodic ataxias without a clear genetic basis are detailed including mitochondrial spinocerebellar ataxia and epilepsy; coenzyme Q deficiency; progressive cerebellar ataxia with palatal tremor; and progressive cerebellar gait ataxia, myoclonic epilepsy, and intention tremor. Also various disorders associated with ataxia are enumerated.

Myositis ossificansis characterized by heterotopic ossification (calcification) of muscle of various etiologies. It is most commonly affected in the quadriceps of the thighs. There are many tools available for diagnosis of Myositis ossificans, but lack of satisfactory treatment. So the development of a treatment protocol for Myositis ossificans is the need of today`s era. In Ayurveda, the same can be understood as Urusthamba. The present paper discusses a case of Myositis ossificans of right vastus lateralis muscle and its Ayurvedic treatment.

In this article we examine the role of stories in the temporal development of images of the self at work. Drawing on an in-depth case study of technological change in a UK public-private partnership, we highlight the role of stories in the construction, maintenance and defence of actors' moral status and organizational reputation. The analysis focuses on the development of one `character' as he shifted from the role of innocent victim to implied villain to heroic survivor within the stories constructed during routine work conversations. We argue that stories are intimately linked to the forms of `moral accounting' that serve to deal with the challenges to `face' and social positioning that accompany `failed' organizational change. Stories, we suggest, are likely to be invoked when an interactional encounter threatens the participants' sense of social worth. Stories in which we present ourselves in a positive light—for instance as virtuous, honourable, courageous, caring, committed, competent— comprise a key component of face-saving strategies designed to maintain our social positioning: processes that are often intensified during periods of organizational change.

Ayurvedic Treatment

Trigger finger is a painful condition that makes your fingers or thumb catch or lock when you bend them. It can affect any finger, or more than one. You might hear it called stenosing tenosynovitis. Most of the time, it comes from a repeated movement or forceful use of your finger or thumb. It can also happen due to inflammation. Local swelling from inflammation or scarring of the tendon sheath (tenosynovium) around the flexor tendons causes trigger finger. These tendons normally pull the affected digit inward toward the palm (flexion). When they are inflamed, they tend to catch where they normally slide through the tendon sheath. A 62 year old patient visited OPD. He was having symptoms on right hand middle finger and side finger.  He has difficulty in folding joint and if he fold finger joint he was unable to straight the joint. There was no relief aftermodern medicine. So he wishes to start Ayurvedic treatment. As per ayurved it is sandhi snayugat vata vikar. So considering this diagnosis, ksheerbala 101-  2 capsules tds were prescribed. Patient got complete relief after 3 months.
