Hypertension is a clinical common disease, with high mortality and disability. Although there have also been significant advances in therapeutic concepts and measures, it has shown a certain value and significance in the treatment of Chinese medicine. The control strategy on hypertension is described from the following aspects such as differentiation of symptoms, pathogenesis, formula syndrome, and herb syndrome. As the common clinical manifestations of hypertension are dizziness, headache, fatigue, lassitude in the loins and knees, and so on, the pathogeneses of them are analysed. The author found that the main pathogenesis of the disease is heat, excessive fluid, and deficiency, which occurred incorporatively and interacted with each other in patients. Although the pathogenesis of the disease is complicated, the distribution of formula syndromes and herb syndromes is regular. The common formula syndromes includeBanxia Baishu Tianma Tang(Decoction ofPinellia ternata, AtractylodesandGastrodia elata),Da Chaihu Tang(Major Bupleurum Decoction), andLiu Wei Dihuang Wan(Pill ofRehmannia). And the common herb syndromes include Tian Ma (Gastrodia elata) syndrome, Sheng Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae) syndrome, Niu Xi (Achyranthes Root) syndrome, and Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum wallichii) syndrome.

The core principles in Ayurveda give prime importance to Agni, Prakriti, Ahara (food) and Vihara (lifestyle) in maintaining health. Present era people are scheduled to one or the other works due to which they are following unrightful food and habits which lead the manifestation of one of the common disorder which troubles person a lot - Amlapitta. By excess “Hurry, Worry and Curry” GIT disorders are the most common, not only affecting physical health but also psychological and social health. Amlapitta is one of that and it is a burning problem of the whole World. Amalpitta is composed of word Amla and Pitta. Amlapitta is a very common disease caused by Vidagdha Pitta with features like Amlodgara, Tiktodgara, Hrit, Kantha Daha etc. Pathya recommended in Amlapitta are Yava, Godhuma, Purana Shali, Mudga Yusha, Lajasaktu etc. Apathya recommended in Amlapitta are Navanna, Avidugdha, Masha, Kulattha, Dadhi and etc. So this present review article throws light on Pathya (conducive) and Apathya (non conducive) in Amlapitta.

Abstract Background Previous reported cases on excited delirium syndrome studied on the common clinical manifestations of the syndrome. The usual forensics implication for the syndrome is that death commonly is associated with restraint procedures by law enforcement agencies; however, not many cases reported highlights the difficulties in attributing a violent scene of death to the syndrome. Case presentation We present a case of a partially naked body found in an apartment unit under suspicious circumstances with multiple injuries. The scene of death was violent, and the body was found with blood wiped all over the floor and walls. Investigators believed a violent crime had occurred, and a suspect was reprimanded. However, upon autopsy, it was found that all injuries were superficially inflicted and were unlikely to have been part of an act of commission or caused his death. Internal examination found no remarkable pathology. Toxicology revealed a presence of psychostimulants, that is, methamphetamine, MDMA, and ethyl alcohol. Reconstruction of events by the witness, who was initially suspected of the ‘murder’, revealed that the injuries and his death could likely be explained by an episode of excited delirium. Conclusion The case highlights the challenges faced when attributing excited delirium syndrome as a cause of death. The syndrome can present with injuries from aggressive or bizarre behaviour, coupled with the destruction of property, which may confuse investigators on the possible manner of death.

Acute pancreatitis is one of the most frequent and formidable diseases, and rates as one of the most common disease in the structure of acute surgical pathology of the abdominal organs. In the last decade, there has been an increase in the proportion of necrotic forms of the disease with damage to various departments of the retroperitoneal space and a stably high mortality rate. The diagnostics problem of acute pancreatitis is still relevant due to difficulties that persist despite the possibility of a comprehensive examination of patients upon admission to the hospital and during treatment. This article presents a review of the literature, reflecting the state of the problem and aspects of diagnostic radiology of acute pancreatitis.

Cervical Human Papillomavirus

Cervical papillomavirus infection is a common disease in women. The risk of permanent infection is the main reason for cervical HPV and its advanced acanthosis. The last time, the incidence rate of cervical papillomavirus is only different from that of malignant tumor women. The trend of young tumors is more and more obvious. Therefore, the treatment of parasitic lesions is very important to prevent or reduce the occurrence of cervical HPV. This paper aims to study the effect of traditional Chinese medicine combined with routine nursing on patients with cervical human papillomavirus infection. The application of traditional Chinese medicine therapy to promote the postoperative rehabilitation of patients with cervical human papillomavirus infection has significant effect, which is of great significance for clinicians in the future work. In this paper, through the introduction of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine oral and external use combined with routine nursing methods, through the follow-up experimental investigation method to study the cervical human papillomavirus infection rate and the effect of cervical human papillomavirus infection patients after operation, it is proved that the effect of traditional Chinese medicine oral and external use combined with routine nursing on cervical human papillomavirus infection patients is better. The results show that 54% of the cervical HPV infection rate makes people pay more and more attention to cervical HPV. The infection investigation and genotyping can effectively judge the prognosis of patients, which has extremely important clinical significance.

Non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) comprises distinct group of organisms with lymphadenitis and pulmonary infection as the common manifestation. The diagnosis of pulmonary disease is based on clinical manifestations, radiologic findings and microbiologic culture. The classic NTM infection may be indistinguishable from pulmonary TB. Non-classic infection has predilection to the middle lobe and lingula unlike tuberculosis which is commonly seen in the upper lobes. The disease may also present as hypersensitivity pneumonitis with ground glass like opacities, centrilobular nodules and air trapping on imaging. The knowledge of imaging manifestations of NTM will aid in timely diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Nepal Journal of Radiology Vol.5(1-2) 2015: 13-20

A disease in the koi carp (Cyprinus carpio koi) and the common carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio), caused by the herpesvirus and accompanied by a high mortality rate, has spread across numerous fish ponds all over the world since 1998, resulting in massive mortality and significant financial losses. The herpesvirus-like virus, called the koi herpesvirus (KHV) has been isolated and identified from the koi and the common carp in the course of the incidences of massive mortalities. The first appearance of a disease with a high mortality in the common and the koi carp caused by the koi herpesvirus (KHV) was described in 1998 in Israel and the United States of America (USA). Since that time, a large number of cases of outbreaks of this disease have been confirmed throughout the world, including the USA, Israel, and a large number of European countries. The deaths occurred seasonally, in late spring or early autumn, when the water temperature was from 18-28?C. The most important factor of the environment that affects the occurrence and gravity of this disease is the water temperature. This disease is currently considered one of the factors that present the biggest threat to populations of the common and the koi carp. Diseased fish are disoriented, their movements uncoordinated, their breathing rapid, gills swollen, and they have local skin lesions. The virus was isolated from tissue of diseased fish and cultivated on a KF-1 (koi fin cells) cell line. Electronic microscopy examinations revealed virus identical viral particles of the Herpesviridae family. Analyses of the virion polypeptide and DNA established differences between the KHV and the previously known herpesvirus of the Cyprinida family, Herpesvirus cyprini (CHV), and the virus of the channel catfish (Channel catfish virus - CCV). In the years 2004 and 2005, high mortality was established among one-year and two-year carp fry on three fish ponds. At two ponds, the deaths occurred among one year and two-year carp fry during the spring period, when the water temperature was over 18?C. During the autumn period, mortality was recorded among one-year carp fry at water temperatures above 23?C. On the grounds of the determined pathomorphological changes and the high mortality during the period of the year when the temperature was above 18?C, we suspect that KHV is also present in fish ponds in Serbia, even though the virus itself has not been isolated. The objective of this work is briefly to present the relevant data on this disease which is inflicting significant losses to carp production, to show the current distribution of this disease, the diagnostic methods, and the possibilities for the prevention and control of KHV.

The study objective is to report a case of dynamic neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve at the level of the fibular head and to discuss diagnostic methods and neurosurgical treatment. Materials and methods. We report a case of dynamic neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve at the level of the fibular head in a female patient. The patient was treated in the Neurology Clinic of I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University. We analyzed clinical manifestations and compared them with the data described in research literature. Results. Upon admission, the patient complained of pain in the anterolateral surface of the right shin and in the dorsum of the foot during walking. At rest, the patient experienced no pain. We observed no motor or sensory disorders typical of nerve root disorders at the level of L5. Lasegue’s test was negative. The patient had a positive Tinel’s sign in the area of the right fibular head. In order to clarify the diagnosis, we performed a repeated extension test in the right ankle joint and it was positive. The patient underwent surgery that included peroneal nerve decompression and neurolysis at the level of the fibular head. In the postoperative period, the patient had complete pain relief. Conclusion. Due to the difficulties in the diagnostics of dynamic neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve, this disease is often mistaken for radiculopathy at the level of L5. Thorough clinical examination, testing for Tinel’s sign in the area of the fibular head, and repeated extension test in the ankle joint ensure the correct diagnosis and reduce the frequency of ineffective surgeries on the lumbar spine. Surgical decompression of the common peroneal nerve at the level of the fibular head with obligatory opening of the entrance to the nerve canal is an effective method of treatment in such patients.

Introduction: The common cold syndrome of acute upper respiratory tract viral infection is the most common disease among mankind and is an extremely common illness in children. There is a great need for a safe and effective antiviral treatment with minimal side effects. The challenge in developing a treatment is the numerous and varied respiratory viruses that cause this common illness and the need for a treatment with good tolerability and safety. Explanation: All respiratory viruses must reach the cell surface by passing through respiratory fluid and mucus, and this common feature may allow for the development of antivirals that capture viruses during this transit. This article discusses how large polyanionic molecules such as iota-carrageenan may trap positively charged respiratory viruses. Iota-carrageenan is a large polysaccharide molecule which is neither absorbed from the respiratory tract nor metabolised. It, therefore, does not have any pharmacological properties. Iota-carrageenan nasal spray has been shown to reduce the titres of respiratory viruses and to reduce the severity of symptoms in placebo-controlled clinical trials, including children and adults. The results of four clinical trials are presented. Conclusion: Iota-carrageenan is a good candidate as a safe and effective non-specific antiviral treatment for common cold, and more research is justified on polyanionic molecules like carrageenans as antivirals.

There is a scarcity of data regarding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in children from southeast and south Asia. This study aims to identify risk factors for severe COVID-19 disease among children in the region. This is an observational study of children with COVID-19 infection in hospitals contributing data to the Pediatric Acute and Critical Care COVID-19 Registry of Asia. Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases were included in this registry. The primary outcome was severity of COVID-19 infection as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) (mild, moderate, severe, or critical). Epidemiology, clinical and laboratory features, and outcomes of children with COVID-19 are described. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors for severe/critical disease. A total of 260 COVID-19 cases from eight hospitals across seven countries (China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Pakistan) were included. The common clinical manifestations were similar across countries: fever (64%), cough (39%), and coryza (23%). Approximately 40% of children were asymptomatic, and overall mortality was 2.3%, with all deaths reported from India and Pakistan. Using the multivariable model, the infant age group, presence of comorbidities, and cough on presentation were associated with severe/critical COVID-19. This epidemiological study of pediatric COVID-19 infection demonstrated similar clinical presentations of COVID-19 in children across Asia. Risk factors for severe disease in children were age younger than 12 months, presence of comorbidities, and cough at presentation. Further studies are needed to determine whether differences in mortality are the result of genetic factors, cultural practices, or environmental exposures.
