Haemorrhoid’s and piles are used interchangeably very often but originally the words have entirely different meanings, the term haemorrhoid is derived from Greek word - haemorrhoid which means bleeding which is the prominent symptom in majority of cases. Hippocrates had applied this name to the flow of blood from the venous plexuses of anus. Term piles derived from Latin word pila – a ball, can be optly used for all forms of haemorrhoids because it literally mean every such condition that produce swelling of some kind even if it may not be present externally. Keywords: Haemorrhoid.

Coronatine is a non-host-specific phytotoxin produced by several members of the Pseudomonas syringae group of pathovars. The toxin acts as a virulence factor in P. syringae pv. tomato, allowing the organism to multiply to a higher population density and develop larger lesions than mutant strains unable to produce the toxin. The most prominent symptom observed in leaf tissue treated with coronatine is an intense spreading chlorosis; this has been attributed to a loss of chlorophylls a and b in tobacco. Coronatine's effects on membrane integrity and cell ultrastructure have not been previously investigated. The present study describes changes in tomato leaves in response to treatment with purified coronatine, infection by a coronatine-producing strain of P. syringae pv. tomato, and infection by a cor" mutant.In contrast to H2O-treated tissue, coronatine-treated tissue showed a diffuse chlorosis extending approximately 5 mm from the inoculation site. Leaf thickness, cell number, and cell dimensions were similar for both healthy and coronatine-treated, chlorotic tissue; however, the epidermal cell walls were consistently thicker in coronatine-treated leaves (Figs, la and lb).

Background: The disease Kasa and Tamaka Shwasa mentioned by Acharya Charaka separately, both the disease are originating from Pranavaha Srotas and can damage Pranavaha Srotas permanently. Especially in Tamaka Shwasa Vyadhi, Kasa is very common as a prominent symptom. In fact patient gets more detoriated after onset of Kasa Vega and fills better when it gets subside. Though Tamaka Shwasa Vyadhi is Pitta Samudbhava, Kapha and Vata are always predominant factors. The Strotorodha made by Styana Kapha provocate Vayu excessively and result into Kasa Vega as symptom. According to Ayurveda the contain of Kasakartari Gutika is act as Kasa-shwashar property and hence for present study Kasakartari Gutika was selected as trial drug for treating the patient of Kasa in Tamaka Shwasa. Aim: To study the efficacy of ‘Kasakartari Gutika’ in the management of Kasa in Tamaka Shwasa w.s.r. to Bronchial Asthma. Material and Methods: Total 30 paients of Kasa in Tamaka Shwasa from OPD and IPD unit of Dr. M. N. Agashe Hospital, Satara, were selected and treated with Kasakartari Gutika 1gm B.D. for the duration of 2 month. Result: Maximum 81.81% relief was observed in Kshudhamandya and 80.64% relief was observed in Ayasenshwasa and 77.5% relief was observed in Kasa. Conclusion: The compound formulation ‘Kasakartari Gutika’ was found as an effective remedy for Kasa in Tamaka Shwasa. The parameters like Kasa, Ayasenshwasa and Kshudhamandya shows that they are highly significant result

Abstract Background Anti-IgLON5 antibody-related encephalopathy is a recently discovered and rare autoimmune disease, and its diagnosis and treatment are more challenging than for other autoimmune encephalopathic diseases. Sleep disorder is the most prominent symptom of the disease. It can also present with gait instability, dysarthria, dysphagia, dementia, ataxia, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, chorea, vertical gaze paralysis, and other symptoms. Immunotherapy remains the primary treatment for this disease; however, there is no definitive conclusion regarding the effect of immunotherapy. The clinical symptoms of the reported cases of anti-IgLON5 antibody-related encephalopathy were generally severe. However, the symptoms in our patient were mild and relieved without immunotherapy, unlike the previously reported cases. Case presentation A 62-year-old man presented with behavioural abnormalities and involuntary movements after nearly 2 months of fever and headache. He also had symptoms of mild sleep disorder. Due to the abnormal levels of infection-related indicators, antiviral treatment was started on the day of admission. The serum analysis confirmed the presence of IgLON5 antibody, and the patient was found to be genetically susceptible. The patient’s symptoms resolved rapidly without immunotherapy and did not recur. Conclusions This case demonstrated that IgLON5 antibody-related encephalopathy might have mild manifestations. Infection and a genetic predisposition may be important causes for the disease. Patients with a mild disease may have a better prognosis.

The rate and pattern of rectal distension affect rectal distensibility, perception, and anal relaxation in health. Because rectal urgency is a prominent symptom in fecal incontinence (FI), we assessed rectal distensibility, contractions, perception, and anal pressures during rectal distention in 21 healthy, asymptomatic women (age 61 ± 2 yr, mean ± SE) and 51 women with FI (60 ± 2 yr). Rectal staircases (0–32 mmHg, 4-mm steps) and ramp distensions [0–200 ml at 25, 50, and 100 ml/min with a phase of sustained distension (SD), lasting 1 min, between inflation and deflation]. The rectum was stiffer during rapid than slow ramp distention. This effect was more prominent at a lower volume (50 ml) and was also more pronounced in older subjects and in FI. A rectal contractile response was observed not only during inflation but also during SD and during deflation. During inflation, this contractile response was rate dependent in controls but not in FI. During staircase but not ramp distentions, the threshold for the desire to defecate was lower in FI. During ramp distentions, the duration of perception was significantly longer in FI. The rate of distention did not affect rectal perception (i.e., sensory thresholds or duration of perception) during ramp distentions. Baseline anal pressures and the magnitude of anal relaxation during rectal distention were also reduced in FI. In addition to reduced rectal capacity and compliance, women with FI had an exaggerated rate-dependent reduction in rectal distensibility, lower sensory thresholds, and more prolonged perception, indicative of rectoanal dysfunctions.

AbstractPurpose. To describe the clinical, electrophysiological, and lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of two cases of atypical Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Methods We reported two GBS variant cases with initial and prominent symptoms of low back pain. We analysed their clinical, electrophysiological, and lumbar MRI features. Results Two patients with GBS reported low back pain as the initial and prominent symptom, which was not accompanied by limb weakness. The electrophysiological study showed abnormal F-waves in the common peroneal and tibial nerves, and acute polyradiculoneuropathy in the cauda equina. Examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed albuminocytologic dissociation. Serum was positive for GQ1b-IgM antibodies. Lumbar MRI showed gadolinium enhancement of the nerve roots and cauda equina. A standard regime of intravenous immunoglobulin markedly alleviated the low back pain. Conclusions Low back pain caused by GBS should be differentiated from other diseases. This initial or early prominent symptom may delay the diagnosis of GBS; therefore, it is important to conduct a detailed electrophysiological, CSF, and gadolinium-enhanced lumbar MRI analysis.

For countless students of Latin (myself included), prevailing memories of Latin instruction involve being taught to unpick Latin sentences by racing towards the verb and securing the meaning of the main clause before piecing together the rest. However, this ‘hunt the verb’ approach, where one's eyes are jumping back and forth in search of the resolution of ambiguity, is not necessarily conducive to fluent reading of Latin (Hoyos, 1993). If, as so many textbooks and teachers vouch, we are aiming to unlock Roman authors for all students to read, then we need to furnish them with the skills to be able to read Latin fluently, automatically and with enjoyment, not engender in them a process more akin to puzzle-breaking. I chose to experiment with teaching students to read Latin in order, firstly because, as Markus and Ross (2004) point out, the Romans themselves must necessarily have been able to understand Latin in the order in which it was composed as so much of their sharing of literature happened orally. Indeed, as Kuhner (2016) and others who promote the continuation of spoken Latin have argued, this is still a very real possibility today. And secondly, because it is a skill which I, and others, believe to be teachable (Hansen, 1999; Markus & Ross, 2004; Hoyos, 2006; McCaffrey, 2009). Not only that, but whatever our starting point, Wegenhart (2015) believes that by encouraging these reading skills early, we can encourage our students to be ‘expert’ readers who will be able to enjoy reading Latin long after they have been through their exams.
