Functional Deterioration

Vatahata Vartma is a condition of Vartma where in the Vartma-Shuklagata Sandhi is afflicted by vitiated Vata leading to Vimukta Sandhi (functional deterioration of the Shuklavartmagata Sandhi which facilitates the movement of eyelids), Nischeshta (no or reduced eyelids activity), Nimilayati (unable to close the eyelids). The signs and symptoms of Vatahata Vartma can be corelated to Ptosis in modern medical science. Ptosis is a medical condition in which there will be drooping or falling of upper eyelid. The condition worsens when there is exhaustion of the extra ocular muscles. This condition can be either uni-ocular or binocular. If the condition is left untreated, it can lead to complications. Surgical intervention is the only line of treatment mentioned for ptosis in contemporary science. Ayurveda has mentioned different treatment modalities for similar conditions. This paper highlights a case study of Vatahata Vartma (ptosis) managed with Ayurvedic line of treatment with Mukhabhyanga, Sweda, Nasya, Akshipindi and Akshi Tarpana. Keywords: Vatahata Vartma, Ptosis, Nasya, Akshitarpana, Akshipindi

The unique position of man as a master mechanic of the animal kingdom is because of skilled movements of his hands and when this shoulder joints get obstructed, we call it as Apabahuka (Frozen shoulder), we do not find satisfactory management in modern medical science. Various effective treatment modalities have been mentioned which reverse the pathogenesis, Shodhana is advised initially followed by Shamana therapies. In the present study 30 patients were selected incidentally and placed randomly into two groups A and B, with 15 subjects in each group. Group A received Amapachana with Panchakola Churna, Jambeera Pinda Sweda and Nasya Karma. Group B received Amapachana with Panchakola Churna, Jambeera pinda Sweda and Nasaapana. In both the groups two months follow up was done. Both groups showed significant improvement in the signs and symptoms of Apabahuka as well as the activities of daily livings, thereby improving the quality of life of the patients. Nasya Karma and Nasaapana provided highly significant results in all the symptoms of Apabahuka. In the present study as per the clinical data, Nasaapana is found to be more effective than Nasya Karma.

Corneal Thinning

Background: Rolling inwards of the lid margin is called entropion, and is produced by a disparity in length and tone between the anterior skin muscle, and posterior tarso-conjunctival laminae of the eyelid. Involutional, cicatricial, spastic, or congenital are some of the classifications involutional entropion there is general instability of the lid structures with age .A weakness of the posterior retractors of the lid occurs, together with a laxity of the medial and lateral canthal ligaments,  accompanied by a loss of posterior support ,as atrophy of the orbital fat leads to enophthalmos. The current treatment modalities for this condition are surgical in nature, although non-surgical temporary medical treatment are also used. It's a commonest types of eyelid asymmetry. Corneal and conjunctival damage may lead to abrasions, scarring, corneal thinning, or corneal neovascularization due to this misalignment. Unilateral or bilateral entropion is possible. Involutional entropion of lower eyelids are common, but cicatricial upper eyelids are common.  Entropion of lower eyelid is a much more prevalent than entropion of the upper eyelid. Objective: The purpose is to review the scientific literature on diagnosis and surgical management of involutional entropion of the lower eyelid. Methodology: The data were collected from the various electronic data bases like google scholar, PubMed and various books. Conclusion: After reviewing the articles, we come to the conclusion that the signs and symptoms of involutional entropion are easily manageable by given treatment.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) also called osteonecrosis or a disorder resulting from a temporary or permanent loss of blood supply or interruption of supply to the bone. AVN is found in the age of 30- 40 years mostly. Blood carries essential nutrients and oxygen to the bone. When the supply is disrupted, the bone tissue became necrosed. AVN can occur at any bone but most commonly affects the ends (epiphysis) of a long bone such as thigh region bone i.e. femur characterized by the collapse of bone, pain, bone destruction, limping off the leg, loss of function of affected bone (temporary or permanent). Modern medical science has surgical treatment modalities like Arthroplasty, hip replacement and osteotomy etc having a higher failure rate is also cost worthy and has a poor prognosis. As per Ayurveda, the cases were diagnosed as Asthimajjagata vata vikara. In the present study, two male patients one is 45 years old another is 30 years old having signs and symptoms of Avascular necrosis and X- ray of bilateral hip joint showing AVN of the femoral head were taken into consideration and administered the therapy, Majja Basti, bahya snehana (pizichil) and the Shaman Kashaya i.e. Guggulu Tiktak Kashaya 20 ml BD for 15 days.significant relief with increasing functional femoral activities in the necrosed femoral head. Based on these case study it can be concluded that the Panchakarma treatment along with Shamana chikitsa is effective in the management of AVN of the femoral head.

Psoriasis is a visible skin condition of chronic origin substantially affecting the physical as well as psychological life of the person thus affecting the quality of life. To combat the same, modern medicine comes with varieties of treatment options but none of them fully cure neither give very promising results to improve quality of life. In Ayurveda, Psoriasis shares the correlation with Ekakushtha. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of Ayurveda treatment modalities in Ekakushtha. A male patient aged 27 years presented with the signs and symptoms as well-defined, slightly raised silvery scales all over the body, mainly presented on flexors surfaces of bilateral legs, hands and over the trunk region along with severe dryness of whole body, powdery discharge with severe itching, diagnosed as Ekakushtha (chronic psoriasis) and was treated with both external and internal medications, which included Vaman Therapy (purificatory emesis) and Shamana (palliative treatment). Shodhana was given as Samyak Snehan (proper oleation) followed by Vamana Karma (therapeutic emesis), in which vitiated Doshas are expelled out through Urdhvamarga (through mouth) and Shamana was given by classical Ayurvedic medications. At the end of Vamana, Pittantik Vamana was achieved. Patient felt notable reduction from erythema, Kandu (itching) and scaling during treatment. This case study showed Vaman karma followed by palliative treatment to be a better treatment option which gives significant improvement in Psoriasis.

Normal Tissue Toxicity

Cancer is one of the most complicated diseases in present-day medical science. Yearly, several studies suggest various strategies for preventing carcinogenesis. Furthermore, experiments for the treatment of cancer with low side effects are ongoing. Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy are the most common non-invasive strategies for cancer treatment. One of the most challenging issues encountered with these modalities is low effectiveness, as well as normal tissue toxicity for chemo-radiation therapy. The use of some agents as adjuvants has been suggested to improve tumor responses and also alleviate normal tissue toxicity. Resveratrol, a natural flavonoid, has attracted a lot of attention for the management of both tumor and normal tissue responses to various modalities of cancer therapy. As an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, in vitro and in vivo studies show that it is able to mitigate chemo-radiation toxicity in normal tissues. However, clinical studies to confirm the usage of resveratrol as a chemo-radioprotector are lacking. In addition, it can sensitize various types of cancer cells to both chemotherapy drugs and radiation. In recent years, some clinical studies suggested that resveratrol may have an effect on inducing cancer cell killing. Yet, clinical translation of resveratrol has not yielded desirable results for the combination of resveratrol with radiotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy. In this paper, we review the potential role of resveratrol for preserving normal tissues and sensitization of cancer cells in combination with different cancer treatment modalities.

Tract Infections

Phimosis is described as condition in which prepuce or foreskin of glans penis is not retracted backwards resulting in poor narrowed stream of urine during micturition causing ballooning of prepuce along with recurrent attacks of balanoposthitis and Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). Majority of new born boys do have non-retractile foreskin called as Physiological Phimosis. In Ayurveda phimosis is described as Nirudhaprakasha. Physiological phimosis usually does not require any kind of treatment as it resolve spontaneously within first couple of years mostly taking 3 to 6 years after which measures are considered to correct it surgically. Pathological phimosis is condition in which prepuce get adhered to glans secondary to adhesions or scarring made because of infection, inflammation or trauma. Pathological phimosis and physiological phimosis with recurrent attack of balanoposthitis and UTIs do require treatment. There are several treatment modalities are available according to severity of adhesions such as local application of steroid cream or oil, manual retraction, dilatation and Circumcision. In this review article we assess the various treatment modalities available in Ayurveda and contemporary medical science for better management of Phimosis.
