Extreme Pain

Background: A married Hindu female patient of 44 years of age visited OPD of National Institute of Ayurveda, deemed to be university, Jaipur on 30 December 2020. She was having chief complaint of extreme and unbearable pain starting 2-3 days before menstruation and continuing in her menstruation also. Methodology: On reviewing her laboratory investigations (USG) she was diagnosed with Endometriosis. On de- tailed history, Dosha assessment was done based on the clinical features and mainly Vata Dosha was found to be vitiated in the present patient. Considering this, she was diagnosed with Vatala Yonivyapada, and treatment was given to her based on the line of treatment explained for Vatala Yonivyapada in classics. Result: Patients showed complete relief in extreme pain during menstruation in the very 1st first cycle following treatment and she is having complete relief in pain to date. Keywords: Vatala Yonivyapada, Endometriosis, Dysmenorrhea

The hyperkinetic movement disorders include heterogeneous diseases and syndromes, all characterized by one or a variety of excessive, involuntary movements. The hyperkinetic movement disorders are heterogeneous in clinical presentation, but a rational and practical approach to diagnosis exists based on new genetic correlations and targeted laboratory investigations. Treatments informed by a still-developing picture of motor pathophysiology offer significant benefit for these disorders. This chapter discusses choreiform disorders, including patterns in choreiform diagnosis; tremor disorders; paroxysmal disorders, including tics and myoclonus; dystonias, including monogenic primary dystonias; and pathophysiology and treatment in the hyperkinetic movement disorders. Figures include clinical photos, computed tomography scans, and an algorithm representing cortical-subcortical circuitry. Tables delineate definitions, distinguishing clinical features, medications, genetics, protein products, and treatments associated with various disorders.  This review contains 6 figures, 12 tables, and 145 references.

On 17 March 2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) established a multicentre network of leading laboratories from 10 countries, to research the aetiology of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and to develop a robust and reliable diagnostic test. The methods utilised and the results of the network member laboratories have been shared on a secure web site and via frequent teleconferences, enabling investigative approaches for detecting the causative agent of SARS to be continually refined and to develop a diagnostic assay. Initial microbiological investigations aimed to detect a range of viral and bacterial agents known to cause atypical pneumonia. The methodologies employed included electron microscopy (EM), immunofluorescent antibody tests (IFA), viral and bacterial cultures, and a range of molecular based assays.

Abstract Background Rickettsiosis is a common tick-borne disease in tropical regions. The treatment is usually delivered in front of high index of suspicion, since the diagnosis confirmation might be delayed. We aimed to study the epidemiological and clinical features of rickettsiosis in our region. Methods We conducted a retrospective study including all patients hospitalized in the infectious diseases and pediatric department for confirmed rickettsiosis between 1995 and 2017. The diagnosis was confirmed by serological tests (seroconversion) or a positive polymerase chain reaction assays for Rickettsia. Results There were 424 patients among whom 232 (54.7%) were male. The mean age was 39 ±18 years. There were 62 children aged ≤18 years (14.6%). During six months period, from May to October, 360 patients were diagnosed with the disease (84.9%). In total, 334 patients had a close contact with animals (78.7%). The revealing symptoms were fever (100%), arthralgia (77.6%), cephalalgia (72.4%) and vomiting (44.8%). Physical examination showed maculopapular skin rash in 350 cases (82.5%), inoculation eschar in 105 cases (24.8%) and meningeal syndrome in 43 cases (10.1%). There were 43 cases (10.1%) of meningitis, 6 cases of meningoencephalitis (1.4%) and 5 cases of myocarditis (1.2%). Laboratory investigations revealed liver cytolysis (60%) and thrombocytopenia (57.5%). Doxycycline was used in 288 cases (68%), fluoroquinolones in 113 cases (26.6%) and macrolide in 23 cases (5.4%). The mean duration of antibiotics was 8 ±4 days. The disease evolution was favourable in 418 cases (98.6%). Four patients (1%) were dead and 2 patients (0.4%) were transferred to intensive care unit. Conclusion Rickettsiosis is not a rare disease. Careful clinical and laboratory investigations guide the diagnosis process, which is confirmed with serological tests.

Leukocyte adhesion defect (LAD) is a rare, autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency disorder of phagocytes, in which there is defective aggregation at the site of infection due to the absence of surface integrins. Diagnosis is based primarily on flowcytometric analysis of neutrophils for the surface expression of CD11, CD18 and CD15s. We describe here a case series of 3 children presented to us within a period of one year and diagnosed as LAD. Diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical features and simple laboratory investigations.
