A 56 year old male patient was admitted to S.D.M Ayurveda Hospital, Hassan, Karnataka with the confirmed diagnosis of Central Pontine Myelinolysis (CPM) on 11/12/17. The chief complaints were weakness of both hands and legs, stiffness in both hands and legs, pain in both shoulder joints, slurred speech, difficulty in walking with gait changes. H/O chronic alcoholism. MRI brain showed pontine and basal ganglia diffusion restriction - Acute Pontine Myelinolysis. The serum electrolyte showed serum sodium level as 128 mmol/litre. This disease can be understood as Samana Avruta Vyana in hyponatremic encephalopathy stage and the stage of myelinolysis can be understood as Sarvanga Vata with Kapha Avruta Udana and Vyana. After clinical evaluation, Avarana Chikitsa was started followed by Kevala Vatika Chikitsa and significant improvement was seen. Significant result was observed in subjective and objective parameters after the treatment. The patient was discharged with oral medications for 1 month.

AbstractFebrile seizures are common disorders in childhood. We evaluated the serum electrolyte levels and the associated factors in children with single and recurrent febrile seizures in 24 hours period of hospitalization. The medical records of children who were clinically diagnosed with febrile seizures and hospitalized were retrospectively revealed and analyzed. Data were collected for children aged 1 to 6 years including demographic parameters and serum electrolyte levels. A total of 244 children were enrolled in the study in which 209 were diagnosed with single febrile seizures and 35 of them with recurrent febrile seizures. Serum sodium levels were significantly lower in children with recurrent febrile seizure (138.5 ± 2.38 and 134.2 ± 3.55, p < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed that mild hyponatremia is associated with recurrence of febrile seizure within 24 hours. However, receiver-operating characteristics analysis for hyponatremia showed lower sensitivity (50.3%) and specificity (43.1%) values for optimal cutoff value of 133.5 mmol/L of serum sodium level. Our study suggested that serum sodium levels were significantly lower in children with recurrent febrile seizures. However, because of its lower sensitivity and specificity values, mild hyponatremia cannot be used as an indicator for febrile seizure recurrence.

Abstract: Acute diarrhea is defined as the sudden onset of 3 or more loose stools per day and lasts no longer than 14 days; chronic or persistent diarrhea lasts more than 14 days. Loss of fluid in large quantitiy such as diarrhea results in imbalance of fluid and electrolyte. The first influenced electrolytes are sodium and chloride since both are extracellular electrolytes. This study aimed to obtain the profile of serum electrolytes in children with acute diarrhea. Thus was a descriptive retrospective study using medical record data of patients hospitalized in the Paediatrics Department of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital in the period of January 2015 - December 2015. The results showed that the highest incidence was among males (30 cases; 65.21%). Most cases were aged 1 - < 5 years (23 cases; 50%). Most serum sodium values were in the normal range (36 cases; 78.26%). Most cases had diarrhea without dehydration and had normal serum sodium (20 cases; 43.47%). Most cases had normal serum potassium levels (33 cases; 71.73%). Most inpatients were without dehydration (17 cases; 36.95%). Most cases had normal serum electrolyte levels (39 cases; 84.78%). Most of the diarrhea without dehydration ( 21 cases; 45.65%). Diarrhea was most often in those who were formula-fed (29 cases; 63.04%). Keywords: acute diarrhea, dehydration, electrolyte disturbance Abstrak: Diare akut didefinisikan sebagai onset mendadak 3 atau lebih mencret per hari dan berlangsung tidak lebih dari 14 hari sedangkan diare kronis atau persisten berlangsung lebih dari 14 hari. Bila terjadi kehilangan cairan dalam jumlah banyak secara terus menerus seperti pada diare maka keseimbangan cairan dan elektrolit dalam tubuh tidak dapat dipertahankan. Elektrolit yang pertama terpengaruh ialah natrium dan klorida karena keduanya merupakan elektrolit ekstrasel. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran elektrolit serum pada anak dengan diare akut. Jenis penelitian retrospektif deskriptif menggunakan data rekam medik pasien rawat inap di Bagian Pediatri RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado periode Januari 2015 - Desember 2015. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa insiden tertinggi pada laki-laki sebanyak 30 kasus (65,21%). Usia terbanyak antara 1 tahun - < 5 tahun yaitu 23 kasus (50%). Nilai natrium serum paling banyak pada kisaran normal yaitu 36 kasus (78,26%), paling banyak didapatkan pada penderita tanpa dehidrasi dengan natrium serum normal 20 kasus (43,47%). Kadar kalium serum normal secara keseluruhan berjumlah 33 kasus (71,73%), paling banyak pada penderita tanpa dehidrasi yaitu 17 kasus (36,95%). Kadar serum paling banyak pada kisaran normal yaitu 39 kasus (84,78%), dan paling banyak pada penderita tanpa dehidrasi yaitu 21 kasus (45,65%). Diare paling banyak pada yang diberi susu formula sebanyak 29 kasus (63,04 %).Kata kunci: diare akut, dehidrasi, gangguan elektrolit
