The color of the skin is important biologically, cosmetically and socially. Vitiligo is an acquired condition where melanocytes are absent in affected area. The worldwide prevalence of Vitiligo is lesser than 1%. Though the condition is rare and non communicable, patients who are suffering from Vitiligo may experience cosmetically disfiguring and psychological problems like depression. It is not clear why the melanocytes disappear from the skin. Theories regarding the Vitiligo include an autoimmune cause because of association with other autoimmune disorders, presence of antimelanin antibodies and lymphocytic infiltrate in early lesions. In Ayurveda, all the skin diseases are described under the heading of ‘Kushta’, which are further divided in to two namely ‘Mahakushta’ and ‘Kshudra Kushta’. Shvitra has been mentioned separately. Based upon clinical features of Shvitra, it can be correlated with Vitiligo. Aacharya Charak has mentioned Shvitra under the ‘Rakta Pradoshaj Vikara’. Considering the limitations of modern medical system and side effects associated with long term use of medicines, Ayurveda has much more convincing treatment modalities for Vitiligo. In present study emphasis has been made to study efficacy of Shvitrahara Vati and Shitrahara Lepa in Shvitra (Vitiligo).

Cardinal Symptom

In classical Ayurveda texts almost all the gynecological disorders come under the term 'Yonivyapad’. Kar-nini Yonivyapad is one among these twenty Yonivyapadas. Although the cardinal symptom of the disease is excessive vaginal discharge, but often the long-term sequel of the disease like lower dyspareunia, ab-dominal pain, low backache, sickness feeling, fatigue etc. become too much troublesome to the patients and start affecting their daily routine. All Though it is not fatal, yet the long-term association with the dis-ease and a number of symptoms both related to the genitourinary system as well as psychological imbal-ance in the patients need attention. The treatment modalities described in modern science have their own disadvantages and side effects. Moreover, they are not cost effective and being carried at higher medical centers only. Owing to the com-plexities in the modern management, it is the basic need of time to develop a dependable and easily availa-ble therapeutic intervention cost effective, safe and devoid of complications or side effects. With this background this research project entitled.

Prosthetic Complications

At present there is no single concept of the development of post-prosthetic complications in dental implantation that justifies a high percentage of complications of this pathology. There are many treatment options used that are mainly based on the medications providing local effects. However, the existing antibacterial therapy does not guarantee long-term results, exacerbations of peri-implantitis and mucositis develop more and more frequently. Antibiotic therapy as a systemic treatment cannot be efficiently aimed at affected area as in the scheme "medication-target", and is accompanied by many complications and side effects. The question of physical therapy efficacy remains open. The inclusion of non-medication therapies in the treatment regimen may help to reduce the frequency of relapses and duration of subsiding of inflammatory manifestations in the oral cavity in the treatment of post-prosthetic complications during dental implantation.

Present Case Study

Ayurveda described various skin diseases under the single heading Kushta. In Charaka Samhita, Acharya Charaka explained Ashtadasha Kushtas in two main categories namely ‘Maha Kushta’ and ‘Kshudra Kushta’. Kushta is tridoshaja vyadi, however, the symptoms appear according to the dosha predominance. Vipadika is one of the Kshudra Kushta with predominance of vata kapha doshas and it is charactrised by Pani Pada sputana (fissures in palms and soles) and Teevra vedana (severe pain). According to clinical manifestations, Vipadika is more similar to ‘Planto Palmar Psoriasis’ which is long lasting Auto Immune disease. It is found to be 3-4% of all Psoriasis cases. In modern science, many treatment modalities are available to treat the disease. They may cause many side effects and recurrence after subside is also very common which gave a big scope to alternative system of medicines to treat Vipadika. In the present case study, the line of management followed was mentioned by Acharya Charaka, according to dosha Predominance. The patient, initially administered sneha pana with Maha Tiktaka gritha for 7 days which was beneficial to pacify pitta dosha and kapha dosha utkleshana before Vamana. Later on, Vamana therapy was conducted to eliminate kapha dosha which gave good symptomatic relief to the patient. However, in view of the severity, chronicity and recurrence of the disease, Mridu Lavana jala Avagaha Sweda followed by Padhabyanga with pinda taila was also performed which resulted in excellent improvement in very short period of time.

Objectives: This study aims to identify the relationship between treatment modalities and the patients’ preferences in osteoarthritis (OA) treatment and identify the related factors. Patients and methods: This multi-center, cross-sectional study included a total of 305 patients with OA (66 males, 239 females; mean age: 66.4±9.7 years; range, 38 to 90 years) between July 2019 and January 2020. Data including demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded using a structured questionnaire. Results: The mostly common involvement sites were knee joints, lumbar, and cervical regions, respectively. Prior to the study, the treatment modalities which were prescribed to patients were oral drugs (79.7%), topical drugs (73.8%), home-based exercise program (62.6%), and physical therapy (outpatient) (61.3%). Of the recommended remedy, 89.2% were prescribed by physiatrists, 24.6% by orthopedists, 5.6% by family practitioners, 2.6% by neurosurgeons, and 1.6% by algologists. The most beneficial treatments (to whom) were inpatient physical therapy program (47%), oral drugs (41%), home-based exercise programs (24.9%) according to patients’ perspective. According to patient preferences, nearly half of the patients preferred outpatient physical therapy program (45.9%), oral drugs (33.1%), inpatient physical therapy (20%), and home-based exercises (18%). The most common reasons for their preferences were previous benefits from treatment (54.4%), long-term effects (38%), easy access to treatment (33.1%) and concerns about side effects (28.9%). The mostly common reasons for their preferences were previous benefits from the treatment (54.4%), long-term positive effects of physical therapy (38%), easy access to the treatment (33.1%) and concerns about side effects of drugs (28.9%). Conclusion: Besides medical regimen, the results of this study showed that the patients preferred outpatient and inpatient physical therapy modalities, and home-based exercises programs. In the light of these findings, initiation of a new prescription (e.g., drugs or physical therapy modalities) in OA patients, previous treatment modalities, and approaches are suggested to be carefully reviewed by the clinician to anticipate and improve the adherence behavior to the new treatment.

Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin diseases, affecting mainly teenagers. Its treatment procedure is complex, with a long duration of medication. Antibiotics are the most preferably prescribed drugs for the treatment of acne. The long-term use of antibiotics leads to various adverse effects such as the disruption of indigenous flora and resistance. Therefore, numerous therapeutic protocols such as antimicrobial stewardship have been proposed to limit the haphazard use of oral antibiotics. This review emphasizes different topical drugs, systemic alternative drugs, laser, and light therapy, as effective therapies for acne. This review also briefly reflects the efficacy of fire needle therapy—a traditional Chinese therapy—for acne.

Long Term Survivors

Purpose The prevalence of long-term survivors after treatment for testicular cancer (TC) is increasing, and most studies display normal or only slightly reduced quality of life (QOL) in TC survivors (TCSs). Impaired QOL is claimed to be associated with treatment modality and its side effects, although most studies in this field can be criticized for various methodologic shortcomings. We wanted to examine variation in long-term QOL in TCSs in relation to TC treatment modality, side effects, and TC-related stress in a large population. Patients and Methods QOL, side effects, and TC-related stress were self-rated by a questionnaire at a mean of 11 years of follow-up in 1,409 TCSs treated from 1980 to 1994. Norm data was obtained from 2,678 males who were representative of the general population. QOL was measured with the Short Form-36 (SF-36), and TC-related stress was measured with the Impact of Event Scale. Results There were no clinically relevant differences in QOL between TCSs and age-adjusted norm data, although there was a slightly lowered SF-36 Physical Component Summary Score in TCSs. Variation of QOL in TCSs was related to self-reported side effects and TC-related stress but not to TC treatment modality. A significant association was found between side effects and TC-related stress. Conclusion TCSs do not suffer long term from reduced QOL, and only minor differences in QOL were found between different treatment modalities. TCSs who report more side effects or TC-related stress have increased risk for reduced QOL, but these associations are not explained by TC treatment modalities. Further QOL research in this area should explore vulnerability factors for side effects and TC-related stress.
