Respiratory Signs And Symptoms

Introduction: Covid-19 is considered as world pandemic disease in which patient suffers from several respiratory impairments along with weakness which affects overall body functions, thus aim of this review is to highlight role of chest physiotherapy in improving respiratory signs/symptoms of Covid-19 positive patients. Method: The interventional study, convenient sampling with sample size of 41 subjects. Subjects of 35-80 years both male and female diagnosed with covid-19 positive were included in study. The exclusion criteria were any recent fracture, any medically diagnosed mental illness, neurological disorders and post covid-19 patients. The subjects are assessed of respiratory signs and symptoms like vital-signs, cough, dyspnea by American thoracic society grading of breathlessness, 1 minute sit to stand test, external oxygen supplement on the 1st day and again on 14th day physiotherapy administration for data analysis. The symptomatic chest physiotherapy was administered to each patient from day of reference until the discharge, 2 times in a day and 7 days/week. Results: There was decrease in mean ATS dyspnea scoring, respiratory rate, cough and oxygen supplement and increase in mean 1 minute sit to stand repetition, oxygen saturation (spo2) from 1st day to 14th day of physiotherapy treatment which is statistically significant comparing within groups. There was no significant difference noted in pre and post heart rate values comparing within groups. Conclusion: The study concluded that chest physiotherapy proved to be effective in improving the respiratory signs and symptoms and overall health of covid-19 positive patients. Key words: Covid-19 positive, chest physiotherapy, cough, dyspnea, oxygen supplement.

Background: Ghrta Kalpana has a major role in clinical practise, because of its unique property of Samskarasya Anuvartanam. Tamaka Shwasa a Pranavaha Srothovikara, may be correlated to Bronchial Asthma, where in remissions and exacerbations are the typical features. The management of this acute respiratory condition is the long quest in the medical fraternity of all types. Hence, the present study was aimed to evaluate the role of Shamana therapy in the form of Kantakari Ghrta3 in Tamaka Shwasa patients. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of Kantakari Ghrta in Tamaka Shwasa. Methods: A total number of 30 patients were administered with 24 mgs of ‘Kantakari Ghrta’ once daily in the morning on empty stomach with Ushna Jala as Anupana. It was a single blind study with pre and post-test design. The effect was assessed by standard scoring assessment criteria followed by statistical analyses. Results: There was marked improvement in signs and symptoms and all were statistically significant. .

Nutritional optic neuropathy is a cause of bilateral, symmetrical, and progressive visual impairment with loss of central visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, dyschromatopsia, and a central or centrocecal scotoma. The clinical features are not pathognomonic, since hereditary and toxic forms share similar signs and symptoms. It is becoming increasingly common due to the widespread of bariatric surgery and strict vegetarian or vegan diets, so even the scientific interest has recently increased. In particular, recent studies have focused on possible pathogenetic mechanisms, and on novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in order to prevent the onset, make a prompt diagnosis and an accurate nutritional supplementation, and to avoid irreversible optic nerve atrophy. Nowadays, there is clear evidence of the role of cobalamin, folic acid, thiamine, and copper, whereas further studies are needed to define the role of niacin, riboflavin, and pyridoxine. This review aims to summarize the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of nutritional optic neuropathy, and it is addressed not only to ophthalmologists, but to all physicians who could come in contact with a patient with a possible nutritional optic neuropathy, being a fundamental multidisciplinary approach.

The role of infection in the etiology of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is poorly understood. Large-scale epidemiological descriptions of the histology and microbiology of BRONJ are not found in the literature. Herein, we present a systematic review of BRONJ histology and microbiology (including demographics, immunocompromised associations, clinical signs and symptoms, disease severity, antibiotic and surgical treatments, and recovery status) validating that infection should still be considered a prime component in the multifactorial disease.

Fifteen cases of presumed cocaine intoxication were evaluated in the emergency room (ER) at a city hospital over a four-day period. This series is unique in that many of these patients were from a similar area of the city, in some cases had the same street address, were regular abusers of cocaine, and presented to the ER with similar symptoms of tachycardia, dilated pupils, marked confusion, bizarre and sometimes violent behavior, psychosis, and hallucinations. Many of these symptoms were present several hours after drug use. Samples of a white powder presumed by the patients to be cocaine were obtained from two patients and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. Neither sample contained cocaine, but rather revealed atropine, benzocaine, and procaine. The signs and symptoms of cocaine, amphetamine, and atropine intoxication are reviewed and the problems of drug analysis and differential diagnosis of drug intoxication are discussed.

: Viral infections of the central nervous system cause frequent hospitalization. The pathogenesis of viral encephalitis involves both the direct action of invading pathogens and the damage generated by the inflammatory reaction they trigger. The type of signs and symptoms presented by the patient depends on the severity and location of the ongoing inflammatory process. Most of the viral encephalitides are characterized by an acute development, fever, variable alterations in consciousness (confusion, lethargy, even coma), seizures (focal and generalized) and focal neurologic signs. The specific diagnosis of encephalitis is usually based on lumbar puncture. Cerebrospinal fluid examination should be performed in all patients unless absolutely contraindicated. Also, electroencephalogram and neuroimaging play a prominent role in diagnosis. Airway protection, ventilatory support, the management of raised intracranial pressure and correction of electrolyte disorders must be immediately considered in a patient with altered mental status. The only therapy strictly recommended is acyclovir in HSV encephalitis. The use of adjunctive glucocorticoids has poor-quality evidence in HSV, EBV, or VZV encephalitis. The role of antiviral therapy in other types of viral encephalitis is not well defined.

Seminal Article

Abstract The basic signs and symptoms of inflammation and wound healing have been appreciated for thousands of years. However, the specific cells involved and their roles in this complex environment are still being elucidated today. In 1926, the origin of the phagocytic mononuclear ameboid wandering cell (macrophage) had not been determined. One popular theory was that the cells were differentiated from the endothelial cells of the nearby blood vessels, whereas others believed that the cells came from the peripheral blood or resting wandering cells. The purpose of this article is to review the seminal article published by Lang regarding this topic nearly 75 years ago. In addition, this article will review what is now known with regard to the role of the macrophage and endothelial cells in the development of angiogenesis, which is arguably the most critical component of successful inflammatory process or wound healing.
