Distal Metaphysis

The authors show a 36-year old female patient with a gigantocellular tumor of the distal metaphysis of the left tibia (stage III by Campanacci). A 7.6 cm long distal articular defect of the tibia has been formed by radical segmentary resection. The defect was compensated by the extension of the rest of the tibia; whereas the support function of the limb was provided through tibio-talar arthrodesis. 5.5 years after the surgery, there are no signs of local relapses; the patient walks without any orthopedic aids and works at the same job as prior to the operation.

Objectives. Psoriasis makes a relative contraindication for lithium treatment which can exacerbate its symptoms or induce it itself. On the other hand, lithium exerts immuno-modulatory activity. Case study. In this paper, a case of a female patient is presented. The patient has been treated since 2012 for bipolar affective illness (bipolar disorder – BD) and psori­asis, which occurred for the first time during a depress­ive episode. Despite intensive pharmacological treatment, both as inpatient and outpatient, a satisfactory improvement of affective illness has not been obtained. After the introduction of lithium, a remission of BD was achieved as well as a reduction of psoriatic changes, which have been maintained until now (2021). Conclusion. The remission of Bipolar Disorder (BD) on lithium can suggest that the patient belongs to the group of the so-called excellent lithium responders. In the presen­ted case remission of psoriasis was observed during lithium treatment. This case report must be treated with caution because remission could be spontaneous and the patient needs further observation.

Vatarakta is a disease mentioned in Ayurveda involving Vata Dosha imbalance affecting Rakta Dhatu, where the Vayu is exacerbated by long distance rides on animals such as elephants, camels, horses, and Rakta or blood is vitiated by the ingestion of Lavana, Amla, Katu, Kshara, etc. The Vata, whose passages are covered by Rakta further undergoes vitiation and further contaminates the Rakta or blood. Vayu's vitiated blood later burns the entire blood in the body and gravitates towards the limbs later. This vitiated Vata and Rakta is called Vatarakta. On the basis of etiopathology, Vatarakta may also be linked to Gout. A 52 years old female patient approached the OPD with the chief complaints of:  Acute pain in all major and minor joint and Deformity on upper limb fingers in the last one year. The patient was given completely Ayurvedic medicines and Panchakarma therapies for 10 days, and Only Ayurvedic medicines on discharge were later moved and the findings were noticeably seen. Hence this study was taken to prove that Ayurvedic management with Mustadi Yapana Basti has remarkable results on Vatarakta (Gout). Observations and outcomes were drawn on the basis of measurement criteria. During analysis, discussion was carried out on the basis of whole findings. On the basis of the outcome, conclusions were taken.
