Domestic Effluent

In the past sewage ponding in indigenous settlements was commonplace as a result of overcrowding combined with inappropriate septic tank and leach drain design, installation and operation. The response over the past 10 years has been to develop reticulated sewerage systems to lagoons when the funds become available. These are often successful in terms of operation, improved public health and low maintenance but are expensive and wasteful of limited water supplies. Evapotranspiration (ET) is an effective method for on-site domestic effluent disposal in areas of Western Australia with soils of low permeability. Evapotranspiration systems have been established in a number of communities both for research/demonstration and as specified by architects. The systems usually follow two septic tanks for the disposal of all domestic effluent. A case study will be presented for a remote indigenous community where the ET systems installed for greywater only have been monitored over the last two years since installation. The use of evapotranspiration has enabled reuse of effluent for successful examples of revegetation and food production and points to the need for a holistic approach to design and service delivery in these communities that includes a total environmental management plan.

This is the era of modernization, science and technology development; resulted into more sedentary lifestyle. This era is more challenging because of lifestyle disorders which are due to change in dietary habits and mode of lifestyle. Obesity is one of the major lifestyle disorders which are a threat to life and is also a major cosmetic issue. Effective treatment for obesity is a need which is not available in the current scenario. In Ayurveda obesity can be correlated with Sthoulya or Medoroga. Acharya Charaka has prescribed Apatarpan chikitsa as the main Chikitsa for Sthoulya. The present article is about a case of Sthoulya treated by Apatarpan chikitsa mainly with Pachana, Udwartana, Swedana, Sadyavamana, Rukshana and Basti. Patients got significant relief in all the complaints and a remarkable weight loss in 21 days only.

Epileptic seizure is a neurological condition in which brief to long episodes of vigorous shaking, convulsions, blackouts, fainting, unresponsiveness, jerks, etc. occur in the patients. Current treatment approaches are anti-seizure medicines, which patients are bound to take throughout life. These medications are mostly not able to reverse or eradicate the condition. Vedic literature recommends Yagya as a therapy for mental conditions similar to mania, seizure, etc. Yagya-Therapy provides pulmonary inhalation of medicinal-smoke of multiple herbs (generated through oblation in fire along with chanting of Vedic hymns), which have the potential for seizure treatment. A case study is being reported wherein Yagya-Therapy was prescribed to an epileptic seizure patient. Before the start of Yagya-Therapy, the patient (Male/65 years) had been suffering from epileptic seizures (~8-10 episodes annually) since ~3 years (pre-observation). Subsequently, the patient has been doing Yagya-Therapy since past ~3.5 years, wherein only 2-3 episodes occurred during the first year, that too during sleep only, and after that no seizures have been experienced. All this time, the patient continued to take the allopathic medication that he was taking earlier. Thus, Yagya-Therapy can be an effective treatment option for epileptic seizure patients.

Biofeedback by means of an anorectal probe or balloon linked to a manometric apparatus can be an effective treatment for childhood faecal retention associated with inappropriate external anal sphincter coordination (obstipation). We report an alternative biofeedback approach in a child with long-standing obstipation. Sphincter tone was detected by digitization instead of manometrically and information on the state of the muscle relayed orally, the child's mother acting as trainer and working at home. Five years of dependency on purgatives for bowel evacuation was reversed in three weeks of this regime. Carer-mediated biofeedback by digitization may prove a low-technology alternative to manometric methods where suitable equipment is unavailable.

Biofeedback Treatment

Purpose Recent research suggests that visual-acoustic biofeedback can be an effective treatment for residual speech errors, but adoption remains limited due to barriers including high cost and lack of familiarity with the technology. This case study reports results from the first participant to complete a course of visual-acoustic biofeedback using a not-for-profit iOS app, Speech Therapist's App for /r/ Treatment. Method App-based biofeedback treatment for rhotic misarticulation was provided in weekly 30-min sessions for 20 weeks. Within-treatment progress was documented using clinician perceptual ratings and acoustic measures. Generalization gains were assessed using acoustic measures of word probes elicited during baseline, treatment, and maintenance sessions. Results Both clinician ratings and acoustic measures indicated that the participant significantly improved her rhotic production accuracy in trials elicited during treatment sessions. However, these gains did not transfer to generalization probes. Conclusions This study provides a proof-of-concept demonstration that app-based biofeedback is a viable alternative to costlier dedicated systems. Generalization of gains to contexts without biofeedback remains a challenge that requires further study. App-delivered biofeedback could enable clinician–research partnerships that would strengthen the evidence base while providing enhanced treatment for children with residual rhotic errors.

Precise Time

SUMMARY The present case study quantifies the clinical wearing time of an acetate tray/bleaching product during home dental bleaching. The patient was instructed to use a 10% carbamide peroxide gel for 6-8 hours each day for 20 days. The wearing time of the tray was measured by a microsensor from TheraMon microelectronic system (Sales Agency Gschladt, Hargelsberg, Austria) completely embedded in the tray so that the clinician would be informed as to the precise time the tray was placed in the mouth. Evaluation of the daily printout during dental bleaching demonstrated that the patient did not correctly follow the clinician's instructions as to the wearing time of the tray. Recording the wearing time of dental bleaching agents can be beneficial for both dental professional and patient to obtain a more effective treatment according to the patient's needs and expectations.

Significant Symptom

Vigoda Gonzalez’s (2018) case study provides an excellent illustration of how AEDP leads to deep and effective treatment for a client with attachment trauma, leading not only to significant symptom reduction but also to profound change for the better. In this review, I provide additional observations and analysis of AEDP as reflected in this case, both in terms of specific interventions and the phenomenology of transformation. From the practice of multiculturalism in psychotherapy, I also highlight Vigoda Gonzalez’s bi-linguistic ability and bi-cultural background as facilitative for the therapy process. I examine the various factors that play into the impact of ethnicity/language-matching, and suggest that the lack of such matching is by no means an automatic hindrance for the therapy process. Similarly a client's choosing to speak in a language not native to them in therapy can be a vehicle for the exploration of new experiences, and new aspects of self. It is my belief that what is most important is for the culturally sensitive therapist to actively explore different means of communication within and beyond the boundaries of language, thus staying closely attuned to the client’s emotional experiences.
