Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of arthritis that mostly affects spine and has a strong association with genetic marker HLAB27. The etiology of this disease is not much clear, but the pathogenesis can be ruled out to be immune mediated. Late adolescence or early adulthood is the prime age for the onset with symptoms ranging from dull pain with mild stiffness and reaching up to totally fused spine and severe hip joint arthritis. It has been seen that the patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis show a variety of symptoms which can be catego- rized according to Ayurveda under aamavata, vatarakta, sandhigatavata samavastha or asthimajjagata vata. Here in this case study the symptoms of the patients were much like asthimajjagata vata and the dosha dushti was lina up to asthi and majja dhatu, hence both shamana and panchakarma chikitsa by the means of basti was planned. Keywords: Ankylosing Spondylitis, Arthritis, Asthimajjagata vata, Basti.

Ankylosing spondylitis belongs to group of Rheumatic disease known as spondyloarthropathies which show a strong association with genetic marker HLA-B27. Whereas the incidence of HLA-B27 is less than 1 percent in general population, it is present in more than 85% of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. In-flammatory back pain and stiffness are prominent early in the disease whereas chronic aggressive disease may produce pain and marked axial immobility and deformity. HLA-B27 is the most common findings in Ankylosing Spondylitis. In Ayurveda, no typical nomenclature has been found for the said disease but considering all sing and symptom of the patients, it can be treated as Asthimajjagata vata. No satisfactory treatment is available in modern medicine for this disorder. Various Panchakarma procedures and Ayur-vedic drugs have been proved useful for these manifestations. The patient was considered suffering from Asthimajjagat Vata (HLA-B27) and was treated with Guduchi, Dashamool and Erandmool as Niruha and Bala-guduchyadi Tail as Anuvasana for 16 days as Kal basti followed by Panchatikta ksheera sarpi Basti for 14 days (1 month) was given. Patients condition was assessed for symptoms of Asthimajjagat Vata (HLA-B27 positive). This study shows successfully managed with Ayurvedic treatment.

Three groups of 120 male and female students each, aged 13 to 15 yr., 16 to 18 yr., and 19 to 21 yr., were tested on Oilman's portable rod-and-frame apparatus to assess field dependence. Analysis indicated that the 16- to 18-yr.-old group was more field independent. Developmental trends indicated decreased field-dependence into late adolescence, and then a reversal indicating an increase in field-dependence beginning in early adulthood (19- to 21-yr.-old group).

Abstract The aim of this case study is to present arthroscopic treatment of recurrent hip instability after acute post-traumatic posterior hip dislocation with a fracture of the posterior acetabular wall. A male patient aged 35 suffered a dislocation of the right hip joint with a fracture of the posterior acetabular wall due to an accident. The fracture was stabilized during emergency surgery with a locking compression plate, and the patient was released home in a hip brace. Multiple dislocations of the hip joint followed with the implant being confirmed as stable. Decision was made to qualify the patient for a right hip arthroscopy. During the surgery, ligamentum teres was reconstructed using gracilis and semitendinous muscle grafts, followed by the labrum and joint capsule repair, where the surgery that stabilized the acetabular wall fracture had damaged them. There were no complications following the procedure. Short-term follow-up of 3 months demonstrates the patient has a stable hip, reduced pain and has returned to pre-injury activities.

AbstractUnderstanding how variations in dimensions of psychometrics, IQ and demographics relate to changes in brain connectivity during the critical developmental period of adolescence and early adulthood is a major challenge. This has particular relevance for mental health disorders where a failure to understand these links might hinder the development of better diagnostic approaches and therapeutics. Here, we investigated this question in 306 adolescents and young adults (14-24y, 25 clinically depressed) using a multivariate statistical framework, based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA). By linking individual functional brain connectivity profiles to self-report questionnaires, IQ and demographic data we identified two distinct modes of covariation. The first mode mapped onto an externalization/internalization axis and showed a strong association with sex. The second mode mapped onto a well-being/distress axis independent of sex. Interestingly, both modes showed an association with age. Crucially, the changes in functional brain connectivity associated with changes in these phenotypes showed marked developmental effects. The findings point to a role for the default mode, frontoparietal and limbic networks in psychopathology and depression.

AbstractSubstance use changes rapidly during late adolescence and early adulthood. This time in the life course is also dense with social role changes, as role changes provide dynamic context for individual developmental change. Using nationally representative, multiwave longitudinal data from age 18 to 28, we examine proximal links between changes in social roles and changes in substance use during the transition to adulthood. We find that changes in family roles, such as marriage, divorce, and parenthood, have clear and consistent associations with changes in substance use. With some notable exceptions, changes in school and work roles have weaker effects on changes in substance use compared to family roles. Changes in socializing (i.e., nights out for fun and recreation) and in religiosity were found to mediate the relationship of social role transitions to substance use. Two time-invariant covariates, socioeconomic background and heavy adolescent substance use, predicted social role status, but did not moderate associations, as within-person links between social roles and substance use were largely equivalent across groups. This paper adds to the cascading effects literature by considering how, within individuals, more proximal variations in school, work, and family roles relate to variations in substance use, and which roles appear to be most influential in precipitating changes in substance use during the transition to adulthood.
