Anorectal Diseases

This study aims to trace a possible list of ailments or diseases that the inhabitants of Dacia might have suffered of during Roman period. The corroboration of the anthropological, archaeological, iconographic and epigraphic sources suggests that eye diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, gallbladder or kidney stones, reproductive system disorders, anorectal diseases and dental problems were common medical conditions among the provincial population. Ultimately, the available sources also reveal that while some patients were willing to undergo surgery, others preferred to appeal to less invasive procedures, which involved taking homeopathic medicine, wearing magical amulets, frequenting thermal spas or Asklepieia.

Unilateral multilevel interlaminar fenestration instead of laminectomy or hemilaminectomy: an alternative surgical approach to intraspinal space-occupying lesions

Bone Removal

✓Laminectomy is the most conventional dorsal approach to intraspinal space-occupying lesions and may result in gradually increasing instability or deformity of the vertebral column. Less invasive procedures such as hemilaminectomy and osteoplastic laminotomy have been described by other authors, but an approach that interferes with spinal stability to an even lesser extent seems desirable. In an attempt to further reduce the need for bone removal, the authors used interlaminar fenestration (mostly unilateral) at one or more spinal levels to remove intramedullary, extramedullary, or extradural lesions, and even some lesions that extended over several spine segments. The authors present their experiences with this surgical approach in 78 patients harboring different intraspinal lesions. Up to 16 segments were fenestrated in one patient. Complete removal of the lesion was possible in most patients, and no postoperative spinal instabilities were observed in up to 8 years of follow up. Multilevel interlaminar fenestration, also called “multiple spinal keyhole surgery,” is a feasible, safe, and effective approach to intraspinal lesions.

Risk Of Cancer

The surgical management of breast cancer is rapidly evolving towards less invasive procedures. Alternative biopsy techniques, including fine-needle aspiration and core needle biopsy, are replacing excisional biopsy as the treatment standard. Breast conservation therapy is now widely used in place of mastectomy, both for small tumors and for larger tumors that have been downstaged through induction chemotherapy. Less invasive procedures for axillary treatment such as lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph-node biopsy are being explored in an effort to avoid the morbidity associated with axillary lymph-node dissection. For women who still prefer or need to receive a mastectomy, immediate breast reconstruction with autologous tissue provides an excellent cosmetic outcome that is oncologically sound. This is especially appealing to high-risk women who opt to have a prophylactic mastectomy. High-risk women are also being offered the option of receiving chemopreventive treatment that may reduce their lifetime risk of cancer by almost 50%. These new, less invasive approaches require the close cooperation of a team of physicians,including surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, and medical and radiation oncologists.

Management of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and BPH has been central to urology for decades. Open prostatectomy is the most efficient BPH treatment for relieving symptoms and improving uroflow, but is also the most invasive and morbid. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is still the “gold standard”, but the significant morbidity rate has provoked the development of alternative minimally invasive procedures. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of TURP versus less invasive treatment options, as TUVP and TUNA.

The functionality of Ayurveda reproductive system in women is initiated by onset of menstruation is menarche. The peak time being 12 years to 16 years, these are probable ages. There may be slight variation in individual cases because of age, that can be influenced by specific Ahara and Arogya. It is only in our country refers to the phase specific practices based on religion, community, geographical, area the practices differ. But these practices have root in Ayurveda. A playful girl menstruates for first time though indicative of reproductive system. Thus this period requires a special care, which could be a simple household remedy or specific nutritious food based on resources of local ate. There is Ayurvedic text refers to the ad vocation of regime. This article discusses the relevance’s of such practices. Further suggest simpler regime to enhance the further growth and development of individual. And also focus on the medical conditions occurs during this period. It is also important to give psychological support.

Successful Prevention

The alarming fact is that approximately one out of every 10 of us will have a kidney stone during our lifetime. The increasing prevalence and associated costs of kidney stones have resulted in it being one of the most commonly encountered and impactful medical conditions. Contributing factors include, but are not limited to, diet, climate, genetics, medications, activity and underlying medical conditions. Symptoms generally parallel stone size. Treatment varies from supportive to procedural (invasive and non-invasive). Prevention remains the best way to avoid this condition especially given the high recurrence rate. First time stone formers require counselling regarding dietary adjustments. Certain risk factors ultimately require a more in-depth metabolic investigation, especially if stones are recurrent. Ultimately, management is defined by stone composition. Where appropriate, we review both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic options. Pivotal to successful prevention is patient education and the encouragement of compliance with the appropriate regimen.
