A CASE STUDY ON WOUND HEALING BY VRUNA SHODHAN CHIKITSA

An ulcer is the break in the continuity of skin or mucus membrane either by molecular death or traumatic removal1. It is essential to treat ulcer in surgical field as prevalence rate of chronic ulcer is 4.5 / 1000 popu-lation in India. These ulcers mostly caused by trauma, poor blood supply, diabetes, infections, and periph-eral vascular disorders etc. Ulcers heal when the causative factor will be removed and by the proper wound management, Acharya Sushruth, has explained 60 Vruna upakrams2(60 treatment modalities for wound) for the treat-ment of Dusta Vruna (chronic ulcer), among that Vruna Shodhan (wound cleaning) and Vruna Ropan (wound healing) modalities have been applied in this case, and observed the wound healing in detail and successful results noted

Large Wound

Introduction: A wound can be defined as the discontinuity in skin or mucus membrane. Healing is nothing but neogranulation in the depth and neo-epithelialization at the edges of the wound which ultimately results in the complete repair of such discontinuity. This case report deals with a patient of traumatic large wound at the heel who receives Unani management for wound healing. He was diagnosed as avulsion of pad of right heel with type-II diabetes mellitus. The treatment plan included mechanical debridement, cleaning with solution of alum powder (Sufuf-e-zaaj/alusol) and dressing with Marham-e-raal. The patient was advised to continue oral hypoglycemic agent with subcutaneous injection of insulin. On 85th day of treatment, the wound was healed by almost 98% and on subsequent 1st and 2nd follow up, each with a gap of 15 days, no recurrence of wound was recorded. Methodology: A male patient of traumatic wound was taken into study and given Unani management plan which included debridement, cleaning and washing with solution of Alum powder (Alusol)/ or, in Unani, Sufuf-e-zaaj and dressing of the wound with Marham-e-raal with full aseptic precautions for a period of about 3 months. Discussion: Wound healing is credited to muhallil(anti-inflammatory), daf’eta’ffun (antimicrobial), mujaffif (desiccant) and mundamil (wound healing) properties of Marham-e-raal due to presence of several phytoconstituents like camphor, linalool, borneol, cineole, terpenoids, Bergenin, Phenols and flavonoids, hopeaphenol, Oligostilbenoids, Monoterpenes, kaempferol, Quercetin and Catechin. Result: The wound completely healed at the end of 3 months with no recurrence noted on the 15th day of follow up after complete healing.

Care of wound and to prevent it from infection and its management is the backbone of surgical practice i.e. Wound management are fundamental to the practice of surgery. In spite of brilliant advances in surgical field wound management still remains subject of speculations. Once infection occurs in wound, healing is always delayed. Aim & Objectives- To study the efficacy of Swarjikadya Ghrita ointment in management of Dusta vrana. Methodology- A study on 70 patients has been done. Group A (experimental group) was treated with Swarjikadya Ghrita ointment locally once a day & Tab. Triphala Guggul (500mg) twice a day orally. Group B (control group) was treated with Triphala Kwath Dhavan once a day & Tab. Triphala Guggul (500mg) twice a day orally. Statistical Analysis and Discussion- Statistical Analysis and Discus-sion about result will be discussed detail in paper. Result- The results are encouraging. After a clinical study, it was observed that patients treated with Group A had better effect as compare to Group B. Conclu-sion- Local Application of Swarjiakadya Ghrita ointment significant than Local Application of Triphala Kwath Dhavan in the management of Dusta Vrana. The details of the study will be discussed in full Arti-cle.

Complex Wounds

AbstractDespite the generous blood supply, and resultant healing capacity within the head and neck, complex wounds in this area may be extremely debilitating and present an obstacle to treatment for the reconstructive surgeon. Delayed, incomplete, or otherwise suboptimal wound healing within this anatomical region may lead to both functional and aesthetically displeasing outcomes, resulting in impaired speech or swallowing, social stigma, and, in severe cases, exposure of critical underlying structures. Due to implications, with regard to wound formation following surgical intervention, the facial reconstructive surgeon, in particular, must be familiar with the multitude of treatment modalities available. This article serves as a review of the underlying pathophysiology of wound healing, local and systemic processes that may influence the healing process, and treatments that facilitate tissue restoration while mitigating future complications.

Special Case

The optic nerve carries visual information from your eye to your brain. Optic neuritis is when your optic nerve becomes inflamed. Optic neuritis can flare up suddenly from an infection or nerve disease. The inflammation usually causes temporary vision loss that typically happens in only one eye. Those with Optic neuritis sometimes experience pain. As you recover and the inflammation goes away, your vision will likely return. There are no direct references in our classics regarding optic neuritis but can be contemplated as a condition by name Parimlayi Timira. The specific management as such is not cited but a transcendence approach can be done with adopting the treatment which has the ability to pacify the already occurred pathology and prevent the further development of the disease. One such interesting case study on Optic neuritis is elaborated here where in specific treatment modalities (Shodana, Shamana and Kriyakalpas) played role in pacifying the condition.

High Morbidity

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious complication in diabetic patients and lead to high morbidity and mortality. Numerous dressings have been developed to facilitate wound healing of DFUs. This study investigated the wound healing efficacy of silver-releasing foam dressings versus silver-containing cream in managing outpatients with DFUs. Sixty patients with Wagner Grade 1 to 2 DFUs were recruited. The treatment group received silver-releasing foam dressing (Biatain® Ag Non-Adhesive Foam dressing; Coloplast, Humlebaek, Denmark). The control group received 1% silver sulfadiazine (SSD) cream. The ulcer area in the silver foam group was significantly reduced compared with that in the SSD group after four weeks of treatment (silver foam group: 76.43 ± 7.41%, SSD group: 27.00 ± 4.95%, p < 0.001). The weekly wound healing rate in the silver foam group was superior to the SSD group during the first three weeks of treatment (p < 0.05). The silver-releasing foam dressing is more effective than SSD in promoting wound healing of DFUs. The effect is more pronounced in the initial three weeks of the treatment. Thus, silver-releasing foam could be an effective wound dressing for DFUs, mainly in the early period of wound management.

Treatment Of Wounds

The treatment of wounds is one challenging biomedical field due to delayed wound healing common in chronic wounds. Several factors delay wound healing, including microbial infections, malnutrition, underlying physiological conditions, etc. Most of the currently used wound dressing materials suffer from poor antimicrobial properties, poor biodegradability and biocompatibility, and weak mechanical performance. Plant extracts, such as Aloe vera, have attracted significant attention in wound management because of their interesting biological properties. Aloe vera is composed of essential constituents beneficial for the wound healing process, such as amino acids, vitamins C and E, and zinc. Aloe vera influences numerous factors that are involved in wound healing and stimulates accelerated healing. This review reports the therapeutic outcomes of aloe vera extract-loaded polymer-based scaffolds in wound management.

Clinical Emergency

Dermatoporosis is a chronic cutaneous insufficiency/fragility syndrome with a high prevalence in older adults. Dermatoporotic skin becomes thin and fragile and tends to tear. It may lead to deep dissecting haematomas (DDHs) as a final stage of dermatoporosis, which is a clinical emergency. Management can be challenging, as patients with lower-limb haematomas are frequently older and affected by multiple comorbidities, or are probably on medications that negatively influence wound healing. This article describes the essential role of nurses in prevention, early recognition and wound management of DDHs in patients with dermatoporosis.
