Cervical Amputation

Elongation is one among the various congenital abnormalities of cervix, which is often one of the causes of primary infertility. The only available treatment is cervical amputation. The word yoni collectively refers to reproductive organs, however here it can be considered as the cervix. So elongated cervix can be correlated to Prasramsini Yoni Vyapat where there is laxity and descend of the cervix. All Acharyas have mentioned similar mode of treatment in case of Srasta Yoni which include Abhyanga, Sweda, Veshavara Bandha, Uttarabasti etc. A case report of patient presenting with congenital cervical elongation is being discussed here. In this case there was reduction in the elongation of the cervix by Veshavara Bandha and Uttarabasti with Jathyadi Taila. The drugs used in Veshavara Bandha were having Balya, Brimhana and Grahi properties which helped in reducing the length of the cervix significantly and preventing further elongation. Thus Ayurvedic management was found to be effective in elongation of cervix to an extent even though it cannot be cured completely.

Evidence Based Therapy

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is an evidence-based therapy, originally developed to treat major depression. IPT conceptualizes depression from a bio-psychosocial perspective where signs of depression are understood in the context of an individual’s current social and interpersonal stressors, defined in terms of role transitions, disputes, bereavements, and sensitivities. In this single case study, IPT was used to treat a woman undergoing primary infertility with multiple failed pregnancies and unsuccessful adoption procedures along with specific grief reactions and depressive symptoms for 2 years. The therapy was formulated over 12 weekly sessions in the outpatient set-up in a general hospital in Kolkata in 2017. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was used to assess the efficacy of the therapy and its outcomes. The therapy was found to be effective in the patient and justifies the rationale of choosing the said therapy for the specific case from an interpersonal viewpoint. The case study may help suggest how and why to use interpersonal psychotherapy in infertility conditions with psychological ramifications.

Irritable Bowel

Abstract Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) appears to have a bidirectional interaction with both depressive and anxiety-related complaints. However, it remains unclear how exactly the psychological complaints, at the individual level, are related to somatic symptoms on a daily basis. This single case study investigates how somatic and psychological variables are temporally related in a patient with irritable bowel syndrome. Case report The patient was a woman in her mid-twenties with an IBS diagnosis. She reported frequent soft bowel movements (5–6 times per day), as well as flatulence and abdominal pain. She resembled a typical IBS patient; however, a marked feature of the patient was her high motivation for psychosomatic treatment as well as her willingness to try new strategies regarding the management of her symptoms. As an innovative approach this single case study used a longitudinal, observational, time series design. The patient answered questions regarding somatic and psychological variables daily over a period of twelve weeks with an online diary. The diary data was analysed using an autoregressive (VAR) modeling approach. Time series analyses showed that in most variables, strong same-day correlations between somatic (abdominal pain, daily impairment) and psychological time series (including coping strategies) were present. The day-lagged relationships indicated that higher values in abdominal pain on one day were predictive of higher values in the psychological variables on the following day (e.g. nervousness, tension, catastrophizing, hopelessness). The use of positive thinking as a coping strategy was helpful in reducing the pain on the following days. Conclusion In the presented case we found a high correlation between variables, with somatic symptoms temporally preceding psychological variables. In addition, for this patient, the use of positive thoughts as a coping strategy was helpful in reducing pain.
