Shalakyatantra is one of the Ashtanga Ayurveda that deals with the treatment of diseases related to the eye, ear, nose, throat, oral cavity, head, and scalp through oral medications, kriyakalpa, Panchakarma procedures, surgical and para-surgical procedures, etc. Nasya is one among panchakarma; the intranasal method of drug administra- tion meant for treatment and detoxification and is widely used in Shalakyatantra. It is said ‘Nasa hi shiraso dwa- ram’; The nose is the gateway for drug administration for the ailments of head and organs situated in it viz, eye, ear, nose, throat, head, scalp, hair, and oral cavity. Nasya can be used also for the prevention of diseases, to strengthen the indriya (sense organs), and to bring Shiro laghuta by eliminating the doshas. This article is a com- pilation of references to Nasya used in shalakya tantra chikitsa. Keywords: Nasya, Shalakya tantra, Panchakarma, eye, ear, nose, throat, head, scalp, oral cavity.

History Of

A seven-month-old, intact female Jack Russell terrier was presented with a history of recurrent hemorrhage originating in the oral cavity. The puppy had a severe anemia and a lingual hemangioma. Several blood transfusions and two separate surgical procedures were necessary to control the problem. The first surgery was a resection of almost 50% of the tongue lengthwise. A similar intervention was performed two months later. A literary review of lingual tumors in animals and in humans is presented.

Scanning Electron

The present scanning electron microscopic (SEM) study includes the redescription of female Laelaps nuttalli with emphasis on its gnathosoma and pulvilli which were rarely described in superfamily Dermanyssoidea. Chaetotaxy of dorsal shield revealed 40 pairs of setae, 22 on prosoma and 18 on opisthosoma. Epigynial plate carried 4 pairs of setae. Gnathosoma consisted of long basis capituli carrying median hypostome and 2 lateral pedipalps. Hypostome had dorsal labrum of 2 lobes covered with minute papillae, 2 lateral 3-segmented chelicerae, and ventral labium carrying 2 median lobes with laciniae and 2 lateral club-like lobes. Function of labrum papillae might be chemosensory while labium lobules might be mechanical, preventing solid material from entering the oral cavity. Palpal and foreleg tarsal organs comprised 10 and 15 sensilla, respectively. Sensilla of palpal organ were mostly chemoreceptors while those of tarsal organ were probably mechanoreceptors. Each pulvillus terminated with 2 medioventral claws and integumental folds beside longitudinal folds.

Cochlear Pathology

A surgical procedure was performed on 24 cats in which the oval window was entered and the vestibular sense organs were ablated. The operation incited a severe reparative response in the vestibule, characterized by proliferation of fibrous tissue and bone and blockage of the longitudinal flow of endolymph. One inner ear became infected resulting in degeneration of the labyrinth. Of the remaining 23 ears, 20 showed cochlear endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and three did not. All three ears without cochlear EH (as well as two ears with cochlear EH) had fistulae of their endolymphatic systems. The findings are consistent with the concept that fistulization of the membranous labyrinth prior to the blockage of longitudinal flow will prevent the formation of EH. Similarly, fistulization occurring after the onset of EH should arrest its progression. These observations are relevant for surgical procedures designed to control intractable vertigo caused by EH.

Mixed Inflammatory Infiltrate

The granuloma faciale is a rare and benign skin disease of unknown etiology, characterized by chronic leukocitoclastic vasculitis. It is characterized by skin lesions predominantly facial whose course is chronic and slowly progressive. The diagnosis is based on clinical features, histopathology and, more recently, in dermoscopy. We describe the case of a male patient, 40 years old, with a sarcoid lesion on the malar site, whose histopathological examination revealed a mixed inflammatory infiltrate with presence of Grenz zone. Dermoscopy revealed a pink background with white striations. The definitive diagnosis is made by histopathologic evaluation, and dermatoscopy can be helpful. It is known to be resistant to therapy, oral medications, intralesional and surgical procedures are options.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the preparation and administration of oral medications to institutionalized children by nursing professionals. Method: quantitative study, developed from August to September 2016, in a shelter in Fortaleza, Ceará. 323 observations of preparation and administration of oral drugs were carried out. Interview and non-participant direct observation of the process of drug administration were performed, whose data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. Results: Of the 29 actions of preparation and administration of the drugs, ten were considered satisfactory. Sanitizing of hands before touching the pills occurred in only 5.2% of the observations and cleansing of the bottle for liquid drugs was performed in 23.8%. The actions “check the right child”; “checking medication with the prescription”, and “check the right dose” obtained percentages below 15%. Conclusion: measures recommended by the literature for the administration of medication were not, in their clear majority, followed, making specific training and protocols necessary.

Morphological Differences

It has been demonstrated that cross sections of bundles of hair can be effectively studied using image analysis. These studies can help to elucidate morphological differences of hair from one region of the body to another. The purpose of the present investigation was to use image analysis to determine whether morphological differences could be demonstrated between male and female human Caucasian terminal scalp hair.Hair samples were taken from the back of the head from 18 caucasoid males and 13 caucasoid females (Figs. 1-2). Bundles of 50 hairs were processed for cross-sectional examination and then analyzed using Prism Image Analysis software on a Macintosh llci computer. Twenty morphological parameters of size and shape were evaluated for each hair cross-section. The size parameters evaluated were area, convex area, perimeter, convex perimeter, length, breadth, fiber length, width, equivalent diameter, and inscribed radius. The shape parameters considered were formfactor, roundness, convexity, solidity, compactness, aspect ratio, elongation, curl, and fractal dimension.
