White blood cells have attracted tremendous interest in recent times due to their promise in providing innovative new treatments for a great range of currently debilitating diseases. This is due to their potential ability to regenerate and repair damaged tissue, and hence restore lost body function, in a manner beyond the body’s usual healing process. White blood cells have potential to divide themselves (through mitosis) to produce more White Blood Cells. Any disease that results in cellular and tissue destruction can potentially be treated by WBC cells. Detection of WBC cells has become an important part in modern medicine to diagnose any disease at its prior onset. But due to their characteristics to change their shape, size and colour at different intervals of time it becomes quite difficult to detect and segment them, as this research is going on to detect WBC cells by using the most efficient algorithm among all that have been studied in the literature survey.

Rationale: Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a recurrent bilateral chronic allergic inflammatory disease of the ocular surface affecting mainly young children in first decade of life. As per Ayurveda, the disease VKC bears resemblance to the kaphaja abhishyanda which is one among four types of abhishyanda (conjunctivitis). The line of treatment of abhishyanda is langhana (fasting), lepana (anointing with medicated paste), swedana (causing perspiration), siravedhana (venesection), virechana (purgation), anjana (collyria application) and ashchyotana (guttae application) respectively. Based on this principle, the present case was managed with amapachanayoga and ashchyotana as per classical guidelines. Background: An Indian female aged 23 years presented in December 2020 with complaints of severe itching, watering, redness, papillae on upper palpebral conjunctiva, gelatinous opacification (approx. 2 mm in size) around the limbus and Tranta’s dots for 11 years. The patient had recurrent episodes of this illness since last 11 years. Intervention and Outcome: The patient was treated on prescribed line of treatment i.e. langhana (amapachana) and ashchyotana as described in Ayurveda for abhishyanda disease. Before treatment, the severity score determined by the 5-5-5 Exacerbation Grading Scale in VKC was 145. After the therapy, the severity score reduced to 0.00. Hence, 100% improvement in disease severity. Key words: abhishyanda, ashcyotana, amapachana, spring catarrah.

The following piece is a reflection concerning the interplay between the art of writing and the art of medicine. We are exploring the similarities and disparities of the field with a focus on doctors – medical students and fiction authors/poets. We are currently medical students and we identify as poets and fiction authors since our high school years and hence we are trying to point out our perspective. In the end we give some hints about the role that literature can play in modern medicine. Key words: medicine, literature, medical humanities, fiction, poetry
