Background/Aim: Alcohol remains one of most common cause of liver disease in India, hence the present study was undertaken to assess the clinical profile and treatment chart review of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) patients. Materials and Methods: Hospital based prospective and observational study was carried out for a period of nine months in a tertiary care hospital of south India.  All the patients of either gender diagnosed with ALD were enrolled in the study and patient consent was taken, the data related to the patients of ALD were documented in a structured patient data collection form and analyzed carefully. Results: ALD was mainly affected in male with age group of 41-50 years.Out of 130 patients 43.8% patients were suffered from Fatty Liver disease while 23.1% were suffered from Alcoholic Hepatitis and 33.1% were suffered from Cirrhosis of Liver. The secondary developments to ALD were portal hypertension (13.8%) followed by Ascities (10.8%) and Hepatitis (10%). The major risk factors involved in ALD was alcohol per se (52.3%) and, alcohol and smoking exaggerate the disease condition. The Periodic (61.5%) and regular basis (38.5%) of alcoholism for chronic period of time may land up with ALD. Polypharmacy is essential for the treatment of ALD as it inoved multiple secondary development to ALD. The patients were intervened and counselled on their individual basis for ALD consequences, and motivated for cessation of alcohol and smoking. Conclusion: The study enlightens that the early diagnosis and its beneficial outcomes that can exponentially curtail the mortality rate of ALD. Similarly the optimal drug therapy regimen and patient counseling may improve the patient’s quality of life.

Cardiac Syndrome

Cardiac syndrome X is a multifactorial disorder. A triad of angina pectoris, positive exercise tolerance test (ETT) and angiographically normal epicardial coronary arteries, is called Cardiac syndrome X. Though the normal epicardial coronary arteries, patients present with debilitating chest pain which increases morbidity and poor quality of life. The particular cause of Cardiac syndrome X is still unknown. Many large trails are on going to detect exact pathogenesis of this condition. A multiple treatment regimens may reduce the morbidity and improve the quality of life of these patients. Key words: Angina pectoris; exercise tolerance test.

Before And After

The purpose of this literature review was to describe the main features of phantom eye syndrome in relation to their possible causes, symptoms, treatments, and influence of eye amputation on quality of life of anophthalmic patients. For this, a bibliographical research was performed in Pubmed database using the following terms: “eye amputation,” “eye trauma,” “phantom eye syndrome,” “phantom pain,” and “quality of life,” associated or not. Thirteen studies were selected, besides some relevant references contained in the selected manuscripts and other studies hallowed in the literature. Thus, 56 articles were included in this review. The phantom eye syndrome is defined as any sensation reported by the patient with anophthalmia, originated anophthalmic cavity. In phantom eye syndrome, at least one of these three symptoms has to be present: phantom vision, phantom pain, and phantom sensations. This syndrome has a direct influence on the quality of life of the patients, and psychological support is recommended before and after the amputation of the eyeball as well as aid in the treatment of the syndrome. Therefore, it is suggested that, for more effective treatment of phantom eye syndrome, drug therapy should be associated with psychological approach.

Pharmacological Potential

The purpose of the study is to improve rehabilitation treatment of patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) at inpatient stage by strengthening pharmacological potential of drug therapy due to inclusion of therapeutic physical factors (TPF) in therapeutic programs. Materials and methods. 159 patients with acute CP were observed. By simple randomization, 4 groups were formed: the control group (MG, 39 people) received standard drug therapy; 1st comparison group (GC1; 38 people) additionally received TPF; GC2 (40 people) in addition to treatment in GC1 had drinking mineral water «Slavyanovskaya»; in main group (42 people) in addition to the treatment in GC2 got preformed peloidotherapy on the cervical-collar zone. All the patients underwent the evaluation of clinical score and quality of life before and after medical rehabilitation. Results. In MG, clinical symptomatology leveling was by 78,2% (p<0,01), in GC1 — by 71,5% (p<0,01), GC2 — by 62,3% (p<0,01), CG — by 57,2% (p<0,01) on average immediately after the treatment, which was in a clear correlation with indicators of quality of life. In the long term (in 6 and 12 months), the advantage of combination therapy was noted with the same validity, the preservation of the achieved positive result was mostly noted in the MG: after 6 months the improvement in physical health compared to the initial values was noted by 34,4% (p<0,01), after 12 months — by 24,0% (p<0,05); mental — by 32,3% (p<0,01) and 22,5% (p<0,05), respectively. In both comparison groups, positive dynamics was 10–12% lower, and in the control group, after 6 months, there was only a tendency to improve quality of life indicators. Conclusion. The inclusion of TPF in the programs of the inpatient stage of medical rehabilitation of patients with chronic pancreatitis by strengthening the pharmacological potential of drug therapy contributes to the leveling of clinical manifestations (abdominal pain, dyspepsia and diarrhea), the result of which is an improvement in the quality of life of this category of patients.
