Chief Complaints

Charmadal is a type of Kshudrakushta characterized with symptoms such as redness, itching, pustules, pain and cracks in the skin and tenderness. Most of the symptoms of Eczema can be correlated with Charmadal as mentioned in Ayurvedic classics. A diagnosed case of Eczema came with chief complaints of red patches on skin associated with severe itching, burning and dryness over different body parts (on face, neck, upper arm) since 4 years with complaint of oozing of blood from the patches after itching. No satisfactory treatment is present except topical steroids, but in Ayurveda text line of treatment for Charmadal is present i.e., Virechana Karma”. Before giving Virechana treatment SCORAD (Scoring atopic dermatitis) was 26.55% and after follow up SCORAD 86.05%. Before Virechana treatment DLQI was 25% (extremely large effect on patient’s life) and after follow up DLQI was 4% (small effect on patient life). The results of the study showed that when Virechana Karma was performed, it increased the efficacy of oral Ayurveda medicines in the patient of Charmadal. Virechana improved the condition of patient to very much extent.

Muscle Metastasis

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide, with a large majority of prevalence (85%) in developing countries. As of 2012, it accounts for 7.5% of all female cancer deaths. Despite its high prevalence, skeletal muscle metastasis from cervical cancer is extremely uncommon. In our extensive literature search, we were able to find only 8 cases where skeletal muscle metastasis was the only site of recurrence. We report a case of a 52-year-old African-American woman with a past medical history of cervical cancer (stage IIIB) who presented with pain and swelling in her left upper arm over the preceding 2 months. MRI of the left upper arm showed a solid well-circumscribed mass measuring 7.0 × 2.8 × 2.5 cm, deep to the biceps. Biopsy of the mass revealed a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma that was p16-positive. PET scan showed that the lesion was the sole site of metastasis. She received local radiation with concurrent chemotherapy. Follow-up MRI 6 months after the completion of therapy showed resolution of the mass. She has remained disease-free for the last 24 months as evidenced by a PET/CT scan in May 2016. In this case report, we discuss the role of imaging and pathology in the diagnosis of a solitary metastatic lesion. This case also emphasizes the importance of a close follow-up which aids in early intervention, increasing overall survival.

Cutaneous Mastocytosis

Abstract Mastocytosis refers to a group of diseases characterized by a clonal proliferation and accumulation of mast cells in one or more tissues/organs with different clinical presentations. In children, limited cutaneous forms of mastocytosis are rather frequent, while systemic mastocytosis is rare. The diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytosis is based on clinical findings and histopathology. We present a patient who developed skin lesions at the age of 18 months. Clinical findings, confirmed by histopathology, were consistent with diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis. The follow-up period was 7 years. The treatment included oral antihistamines in combination with mast cell stabilizers, mild topical steroids and avoidance of friction. During the follow-up period, there were no signs of systemic involvement, and the quality of life was preserved, despite the large surface of affected skin. This case report should increase the awareness and knowledge of clinicians about this rare form of cutaneous mastocytosis in the pediatric population.

A 6-year-old girl presented to our attention with a 7-month history of erythema and pustules on the distal portion of her left first finger, which deeply affected the beginning of her scholar activity. On examination, her digit was swollen, markedly erythematous, and littered with several small pustules; nail was strikingly dysmorphic. The other digits showed variable degree of onychodystrophy (Fig. 1A). There were neither prior history of psoriatic lesions nor familiarity for psoriasis. Microscopic and cultural examination did not show any microbiological infection. Histological sample showed psoriasiform hyperplasia, with a collection of granulocytes in the context of parakeratosis as well as in the intraepithelial area (Munro-like microabscesses), and focal spongiosis with absent granular layer. The dermis showed increased vascularity within the dermal papillae. Ultrasonography highlighted cutaneous and sub-cutaneous thickness increase with intra-articular synovial effusion (Fig. 1C); at color Doppler, increase of vascularization was present in sub-cutaneous tissue (Fig. 1D). On the basis of these findings, a diagnosis of acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) was performed. Past treatment only consisted of topical steroids. A cycle of clobetasol 0.05% ointment under occlusion and narrow band UVB (310 -311 nm) was prescribed for 30 days. The improvement observed at follow-up visit (Fig. 1B), increased after the subsequent 2 months of therapy, without relapse. The young patient is still under treatment and no relapse was notead at 3.5 months follow-up.

This case report aimed to demonstrate the prosthetic solution of an autism patient with self-injurious behavior using digital dentistry. A 24-year-old male visited our clinic with chief complaints of severe gingival recession associated with self-injurious behavior. Bilateral fixed prosthesis with denture flange were delivered using a digital workflow for the protection of the gingiva. The patient showed healed gingival tissue, behavioral modification, and acceptable oral hygiene during the follow-up period. Also, his caregivers reported no recurrence of the self-injurious behavior. Autism patients usually show self-injurious behavior, which can damage their oral tissue. With adoption of this prosthesis, behavior modification as well as healing of oral tissue was achieved.

AbstractPhlyctenular conjunctivitis (PC) is characterised by formation of a whitish nodule on bulbar conjunctiva near or at the limbus with a localised conjunctival congestion. It is considered as an allergic reaction to endogenous bacterial protein. Conventional treatment includes use of topical steroids in simple PC, but if there is some degree of secondary infection or corneal involvement then combined steroid-antibiotics are used though there are high chances of recurrence. Homoeopathic literature has medicines listed for PC. The case reported was a female aged 60 years suffering from PC in right eye since 5 days and had no relief from local conventional treatment. She had complaints of redness, foreign body sensation and whitish discharge from the eye. Phlycten was at 6 o'clock position below the limbus with much conjunctival congestion around it and in the lower fornix. Homoeopathic Hepar sulphuris 30C resolved nodule within a week but the patient had itching of eye at the inner canthus, especially in the morning. Homoeopathic Natrum muriaticum 30C helped to resolve conjunctival congestion in the fornix and itching of eye within a week. Both medicines were prescribed on the basis of local signs and symptoms. There was no recurrence in the last 5 months. This case report with ocular photographs during follow-up provides documentary evidence about effectiveness of homoeopathy in PC.

Bilateral transmigration of impacted mandibular permanent canines,an extremely uncommon occurrence.The mid-symphyseal region is where,the intraosseous tooth migration takes place.The tooth does not erupt in its usual occusal position and it crosses the mandible\'s midline. Here, a 28 year old male reported to the department of oral surgery,with chief complaints of pain and sensitivity in the lower front teeth region since 1 month. The mandibular right and left deciduous canines were seen to be retained on intraoral inspection. Orthopantomogram revealed mandibular right and left horizontal impacted permanent canines migrated towards the midline and situated below the apices of incisives.The two impacted canines were surgically removed,along with retained deciduous canines were also extracted out normally under local anaesthesia and under preoperative intravenous antibiotic medications. A follow-up on the patient is underway.
