ABSTRACT               Venous ulcers (varicose ulcers or stasis ulcers) are the wounds occurring due to inappropriate functioning of venous valves, commonly of legs. It is most common and serious chronic venous insufficiency complication. The overall incidence rate is 0.76% in men and 1.42% in women. When venous valve gets damaged, it prevents the backflow of blood, which causes pressure in the vein that leads to hypertension, which stretches the veins resulting in ulcer formation. If not treated properly, the ulcers may get infected leading to cellulitis or gangrene and eventually may need amputation of the part of limb.               In Ayurvedic prospective, varicose ulcers can be correlated with ‘Siragata Dushta Vrana’. Acharya Sushruta has advocated the Shashthi upakrama 1 (60 procedures) for treating the dushta vrana, among which Dhawana/ Parishek2 become third upakrama/procedure that means parishek procedure is included in first top 3 procedures and is useful in infected and non-healing wounds.               Patients with varicose ulcers was advised to take ‘Sukshma Triphala’ internally and ‘Panchavalkala Kwatha Dhawana’ over lower limb daily twice a day followed by cleaning and dressing of wound which proved very effective and the ulcer healed completely in 30 days.

ABSTRACTObjective: to verify the efficiency of hypertonic solution (NaCl/20%) on the hypergranulation due to the constant hypergranulating wound beds treated in venous ulcers in the daily clinic practice, which delays and disables cells epithelization. Methodology: clinical case study, performed in an outpatient’s clinic of Médio Vale do Paraíba, from February to March 2008. MCT, 60 years old, female, white skin, systematic arterial hypertension controlled, with wounds on the middle part and region of distal third of the left leg. Dressings were made with prior sterilization sores of sodium chloride to 0.9%, which was applied compress of gauze soaked with hypertonic solution (NaCl 20%) was applied on the region presenting hypergrantulation tissue and immediately occluded with dry gauze and fixed with crepe bandage and adhesive tapes. Results: on February 13, 2008, the first wound on the middle part of the left leg measured 3,5 x 2,3 inches (9x6 cm) and 2,7 9 inches (7 cm) of hypergranulation, and the second wound on the region of distal third of the left leg measured 5,5 x 5,1 inches (14x13 cm) and 5,1 inches (13 cm) of hypergranulation. After 22 days, the first wound measured 1,5 x 1,5 inches  (4X4 cm) and 1,5 inches (4 cm) of hypergranulation and the second wound measured 4,3 x 3,9 inches (11X10 cm) and 2,3 inches (6 cm) of hypergranulation. Conclusion: the healing process presented a satisfactory evolution after applying hypertonic solution (NaCl/20%) improving the characteristic of the wound bed and diminishing the area where hypergranulation was present. Descriptors: sodium chloride; varicose ulcer; granulation tissue.RESUMOObjetivo: verificar a eficácia da solução hipertônica de Cloreto de Sódio (NaCl/20%) em paciente portador de úlcera venosas que apresentam hipergranulação no leito da ferida. Metodologia: estudo de caso clínico, realizado no ambulatório do Médio Vale do Paraíba, no período de fevereiro a março de 2008. MCT, 60 anos, sexo feminino, cor branca, hipertensão arterial sistêmica controlada, com feridas na região dos terços médio e distal da perna esquerda. Foram realizados curativos, com prévia assepsia da úlcera com cloreto de sódio a 0,9%, na qual era aplicada compressa de gaze impregnada com solução hipertônica (NaCl 20%) sobre a região que apresentava o tecido de hipergranulação, em seguida ocluída com compressa de gaze seca e fixado com atadura de crepe e fita adesiva. Resultados: em 13/02/2008 a ferida 1 na região do terço médio da perna esquerda mensurava 9x6 cm e 7 cm de hipergranulação, e a ferida 2 na região do terço distal da perna esquerda mensurava 14x13 cm e 13 cm de hipergranulação. Após 22 dias a ferida 1 media 4X4 cm e 4 cm de hipergranulação e a ferida 2 mensurava 11X10 cm e 6 cm de hipergranulação. Conclusão: o processo de cicatrização apresentou uma evolução satisfatória após a aplicação da solução hipertônica (NaCl/20%) melhorando a característica do leito da ferida e diminuindo a área em que apresentava hipergranulação. Descritores: cloreto de sódio; úlcera venosa; tecido de granulação.RESUMENObjetivo: confirmar la eficiencia de la solución hipertónica (NaCl/20%) el paciente portador de úlcera venosa que presentaba tejido de hipergranulación en el lecho de la herida. Metodologia: estudio del caso clínico realizado en el ambulatorio de una ciudad del Medio Vale do Paraíba durante el período de febrero a marzo de 2008. MCT, 60 años, sexo femenino, color blanca, hipertensión arterial sistémica controlada, con heridas en la región del tercio medio y la región del tercio distal de la pierna izquierda. Apósitos se hicieron antes de la esterilización con las llagas de cloruro de sodio al 0,9%, lo que se aplicó la compresa de gasa empapada con solución hipertónica (NaCl/20%) sobre la región que presenta el tejido de hipergranulación, en seguida ocluída con una compresa de gasa seca y asegurada con atadura de crepe y cinta adhesiva. Resultados: el 13/02/2008 la primera herida en la región del tercio medio de la pierna izquierda medía 9x6 cm y 7 cm de hipergranulación y la segunda herida en la región del tercio distal de la pierna izquierda medía 14x13 cm y 13 cm de hipergranulación. Después de 22 días, la primera herida medía  4X4 cm y 4cm=0cm de hipergranulación y la segunda herida medía 11X10cm y 6 cm de hipergranulación. Conclusión: el proceso de cicatrización presentó una evolución satisfactoria después de la aplicación de la solución hipertónica (NaCl/20%) mejorando la característica del lecho de la herida y disminuyendo el área que presentaba hipergranulación. Descriptores: cloruro de sódio; úlcera varicosa; tejido de granulación.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.
