Before And After

In the present era, Dharunaka is a common condition mostly affecting children to middle aged people due to improper lifestyle, lack of hygiene and stress. There is no specific etiology explained in Any Ayurvedic texts. Dharunaka can be compared with seborrhoeic dermatitis / Dandruff in contemporary science. Maintenance of proper hygiene is the most important thing in this disease. Otherwise the chances of recurrence are more. With Ayurvedic formulations we can give good result in this condition. A 30-year-old male patient with chief complaint of itching on the scalp, dryness on scalp and hairfall came to our hospital and herbal medicines like Aragwadadi Kashayam (orally), Triphala Choornam (external), Tankanabasma, Manjishtadi Kashayam, Prapoundarika Tailam were given and procedures like Shiroabhyanga with Durdoorapathradi oil and Nasya with Prapoundarikadi oil also given. This medication was found very effective in controlling signs and symptoms of Dharunaka and improving the overall condition of the scalp. The improvement provided by the treatment is assessed on the basis of sign and symptoms before and after the treatment.

Background Patients may not verbalize common and atypical signs and symptoms of heart failure and may not understand their association with worsening disease and treatments. Objectives To examine prevalence of signs and symptoms relative to demographics, care setting, and functional class. Methods A convenience sample of 276 patients (164 ambulatory, 112 hospitalized) with systolic heart failure completed a 1-page checklist of signs and symptoms experienced in the preceding 7 days (ambulatory) or in the 7 days before hospitalization. Demographic and medical history data were collected. Results Mean age was 61.6 (SD, 14.8) years, 65% were male, 58% were white, and 45% had ischemic cardiomyopathy. Hospitalized patients reported more sudden weight gain, weight loss, severe cough, low/orthostatic blood pressure, profound fatigue, decreased exercise, restlessness/confusion, irregular pulse, and palpitations (all P < .05). Patients in functional class IV reported more atypical signs and symptoms of heart failure (severe cough, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea or loss of appetite, and restlessness, confusion, or fainting, all P ≤ .001). Sudden weight gain increased from 5% in functional class I to 37.5% in functional class IV (P < .001). Dyspnea occurred in all functional classes (98%–100%) and both settings (92%–100%). Profound fatigue was associated with worsening functional class (P < .001) and hospital setting (P = .001); paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea was associated with functional class IV (P = .02) and hospital setting (P < .001). Conclusion Profound fatigue is more reliable than dyspnea as an indicator of functional class. Nurses must recognize atypical signs and symptoms of worsening functional class to determine clinical status and facilitate patient care decisions.

Early Sign

Acromegaly is a devastating chronic slowly progressive disease. Its early diagnosis is a challenging issue that necessitates clinical suspicion of signs and symptoms as a first step. This report introduces an unusual early sign in the oral cavity that lead to the early diagnosis of an acromegaly case. A case of a healthy 40-year-old male patient presented with progressively growing multiple hard swellings in the upper and lower jaws. Clinical examination revealed bony hard multiple small spiky exostosis-like swellings, located at the maxillary and mandibular alveolar bones. An array of investigations revealed a 2-mm diameter pituitary tumour in MRI of sella. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first report of spiky exostosis-like growths in the alveolar bone as an early sign of acromegaly. In this case, thorough examination of oral signs and symptoms was the first step for early diagnosis and hence, better prognosis for acromegaly.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a type of primary systemic vasculitis mainly affecting the medium and large arteries. The signs and symptoms are due to systemic inflammation or ischemia of an organ or limb and include angiodynia, claudication, peripheral pulselessness, murmurs, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction and severe systemic arterial hypertension. The disease tends to affect more women than men. Here we present a case of TA in a 22-year-old male patient. Our patient presented with complaints of aphasia and right-sided weakness, with on-and-off symptoms of malaise, generalized weakness, unilateral headache, fatigue and shortness of breath lasting two years. Color Doppler ultrasound was sufficient for a diagnosis of TA, after which we started the patient on medical treatment and also consulted the department of vascular surgery. Overall, this case report highlights the importance of screening for TA in male patients so that the diagnosis is not overlooked, and also adds more data to the limited literature on male patients.
