Asthma Symptoms

Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath may be simply termed as Shwasa (Asthma), As per Ayurveda, Shwasa is mainly caused by the Vata and Kapha Doshas. Shwasa is broadly classified into five types in Maha Shwasa (Dyspnoea major), Urdhawa Shwasa (Expiratory Dyspnoea), Chinna Shwasa (Chyne-stroke respiration), Kshudra Shwasa (Dyspnoea minor), Tamaka Shwasa (Bronchial Asthma). In modern science Tamaka Shwasa can be correlated with Asthma, Asthma which is a chronic inflammatory disease of airway. In modern medicine there is no cure for Asthma, symptoms can typically be improved. In Ayurveda, Asthma can be effectively and safely manage the condition without inducing any drug dependency where Pachakarma procedures and use of internal medication detoxifies the body, provides nutrition and increases the elasticity of lung tissue it also develops natural immunity of the body thus decreasing episodic recurrence of the disease.

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a potentially disabling chronic inflammatory disease. The intermammary location, not clearly specified in the usual phenotypic classifications, entails significant functional and cosmetic compromise. Case Presentation: Eleven cases of predominantly intermammary disease with multiple fistulization and disfiguring scarring were observed at our Department between January 2016 and March 2020. They were young (mean age = 22 years) obese or overweight women, in which the medical-surgical approach has led to variable results. Discussion/Conclusion: Intermammary HS possibly represents a unique phenotypic presentation, likely to be fistulizing and severe. We believe that anatomo-functional considerations, which can be paralleled to pilonidal sinus disease, contribute to its pathophysiology and striking appearance, and further emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary endeavor to reduce the morbidity associated with this seemingly overlooked location.

Animal Hair

Pilonidal sinus is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the penetration of hair into the skin. Most often, it is located in the intergluteal area, but it may also develop at a different location. It is usually caused by the penetration of human hair, but animal hair can alaso cause it in rare cases. In the world publications, there are reports of the disease in other, often distant locations, e.g. the suprapubic area, armpit, foot, penis, umbilicus, eyelid, clitoris, intermammary cleft, nose, or scar after removing a Tenckhoff catheter. Usually, it is human hair that causes the formation of pilonidal sinus, but the literature also reports cases caused by animal hair in people who shear sheep. There is no other Polish publication describing pilonidal sinus of animal origin. The article presents a case of atypical pilonidal sinus caused by animal hair, located between the fingers of the patient who is professionally involved in shearing dogs. In the presented clinical case, treatment involved staged fistulotomy with the use of surgical thread. The patient was cured and full function of the hand was preserved. Staged fistulotomy is a safe procedure and can be used to treat pilonidal sinus of the hand.
