Amlapitta is the most typical illness in the present era. In a rapidly growing civilization, Amlapitta is the outer- most common disorder within the current society, because of indulgence in incompatible food habits and activi- ties. Materialistic lifestyle provokes people to run behind a busy, tremendous stressful life which is the least con- cern towards proper food habits. "Hurry", “Worry” & “Curry” are the main causes of Amlapitta disease. The us- age of synthetic drugs like H2 receptor blockers & proton pump inhibitors has decreased due to their side effects. The signs and symptoms of Amlapitta are very comparable to Gastritis or Hyperacidity. The ruling features of Amlapitta are Avipaka (indigestion), Urodaha (Burning in the chest), Utklesha (Nausea) Aruchi (Anorexia) and Tikta-Amlodgara (sour and bitter belching) have been described in Ayurvedic classical texts. A 42-year-old male patient came in OPD with the following complaints Tikta-Amlodgara, Urodaha, Utklesha, Aruchi, Praseka. Dur- ing Examination, the vitals are normal. The patient was treated with Sutshekar rasa 1 tab. BD, Avipattikar chura- na 3gm BD, Drakshavaleha 5gm BD on the basis. The patient was advised to follow up every 15th day. Along with medication, the patient was also advised to follow diet and lifestyle restrictions. Keywords: Agni, Amlapitta, Annavahasrotas, Hyperacidity.

Vulvar Mass

Abstract Background: Leiomyomas are uncommon vulvar neoplasms often misdiagnosed as other Bartholin gland pathology. Due to their rarity and the absence of guidelines, their diagnosis and management remain challenging, largely based on expert opinion and evidence from case reports. Case Presentation: This case report describes a 44-year-old woman presenting with accelerating growth of a vulvar mass. Based on clinical signs and symptoms, the initial diagnosis was Bartholin cyst. Surgical excision was provided for symptom control and aesthetic reasons. The histopathologic diagnosis was vulvar leiomyoma. The postoperative recovery was complicated by secondary haematoma and dehiscence of the surgical site. There was no recurrence at two years follow up. Therefore, we discuss the dilemma posed by physical examination of a vulvar mass, the challenges of the management, and report on secondary morbidity and long-term follow up, aspects of care for patients with vulvar pathology not commonly addressed in the literature. Conclusions: Bartholin gland neoplasms are rare tumors, commonly misdiagnosed as Bartholin’s cysts. Excision is the treatment of choice. Short time follow up allows prompt management of potential postoperative complications. Continuing long term follow up is recommended due to recurrence risk.

Toxic Potential

A case of amoxapine (Asendin) overdose, in a 24-year-old female, is presented. The manifestations of amoxapine ingestion in this case are dissimilar to those of previously described tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) overdoses, and to those previously described for amoxapine. The signs and symptoms of TCA toxicity are discussed and contrasted with observations of this case. Impressions from this case indicate that amoxapine and other dibenzoxazepine derivatives possess a significantly different and greater toxic potential than other TCA agents.

Reactive Proliferation

Congenital Traumatic neuroma is a rare disorder that represents a reactive proliferation of neural tissue followingdamage to an adjacent nerve. Rarely these lesions appear in the oral cavity with certain predilection for the mental foramen and the tongue area. However, its presentation on lip is more unusual with only few cases being reported in the literature. Typically diagnosed in middle-aged women, patient complains of pain as a frequent symptom. Clinically, the lip lesions appear as a normal or grayish white nodule with a smooth surface that typically resembles a mucocele. We report here a case of a 37-year old female who presented with similar signs and symptoms and was diagnosed clinically as a mucocele. However, histopathological examination revealed it as a traumatic neuroma that was surgically excised. The patient is under follow-up with no signs of recurrence for 18 months.

Suspected Diagnosis

The scombroid poisoning is due to the ingestion of poorly preserved fish (especially tuna, sardines, and mackerel) out of the cold chain. Under the influence of the proliferation of gram negative bacteria that occurs for heating, the histidine content in the muscle of the fish is converted into histamine, by the action of the enzyme histidine decarboxylase. If the histamine is ingested in large quantities, it causes an anaphylactoid reaction with a variety of symptoms from moderate to severe to life-threating. We will describe two cases that came under our observation after consuming a meal of bluefin tuna. The diagnosis of scombroid syndrome was made on the basis of the anamnestic data and the clinical one. The rapid resolution of the signs and symptoms after treatment with histamines H1-H2 receptor blockers confirmed the suspected diagnosis.

CONTEXT: Despite the absence of symptoms in the majority of patients carrying lead bullet fragments in their bodies, there needs to be an awareness of the possible signs and symptoms of lead intoxication when bullets are lodged in large joints like knees, hips and shoulders. Such patients merit closer follow-up, and even surgical procedure for removing the fragments. OBJECTIVE: To describe a patient who developed clinical lead intoxication several years after a gunshot wound. DESIGN: Case report. CASE REPORT: A single white 23-year-old male, regular job as a bricklayer, with a history of chronic alcohol abuse, showed up at the emergency department complaining of abdominal pain with colic, weakness, vomiting and diarrhea with black feces. All the symptoms had a duration of two to three weeks, and had been recurrent for the last two years, with calming during interval periods of two to three weeks. Abdominal radiograms showed a bullet lodged in the left hip, with a neat bursogram of the whole synovial capsule. A course of chelating treatment using calcium versenate (EDTACaNa2) intravenously was started. After the chelation therapy the patient had recurrence of his symptoms and a radical solution for the chronic mobilization of lead was considered. A hip arthroplasty procedure was performed, leading to complete substitution of the left hip.

Clinical Signs And Symptoms

Two hundred and sixtyeight (268) consecutive out-patients with clinical features compatible with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) were referred to our Department for contrast venography, which was carried out according to standard methods, employing 120-160 ml of a non-ionic contrast medium (Iohexol). All side effects probably related to venography were recorded during the test, immediately after its execution, at one day and during long-term follow-up (1 week, 1 month and 6 months), including impedance plethysmography (IPG) evaluation in patients with normal venograms. Eighteen patients (7%) did not undergo venography because of severe edema of the dorsum of the foot (3), impossibility to find a vein (7), patient refusal (1), known hypersensibility to radiopaque dye (4) and allergic reactions after injection of contrast medium (3). Our analysis therefore included 250 patients. Hypersensitivity reaction to the contrast medium following the venography were encountered in 3 patients (1%) of whom two had severe reactions. Pain and tenderness of the foot and calf after the test was observed in 15 patients (6%). No clinical signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism were observed during and after the procedure and all serum creatine levels, assessed before venography, at day 1 and day 7, remained unchanged. There were 7 instances of contrast extravasation (3%) which did not result in local skin or tissue damage. In none of the patients was there any evidence to suggest the presence of post-venographic phlebitis and no patients with negative venograms developed a positive IPG during the period of follow-up.

Purpose To assess the clinical efficacy of ibopamine eye drops in severe hypotony secondary to chronic progressive uveitis. Methods Case report. A 47-year-old man with a 37-year history of diffuse uveitis and severe refractory hypotony was treated with topical 2% ibopamine (Trazyl®) six times a day. Intraocular pressure, visual acuity, visual field and side effects were recorded during 15 months of follow-up. Results IOP, visual acuity and visual field increased after four days of therapy and lasted for two months when the drug was suspended because of the onset of filamentous keratopathy. A new course of treatment with 2% ibopamine eye drops in a different solvent (BSS®) resulted in a stable increase in IOP, VA and visual field, with no side effects in a follow-up of 13 months. Conclusions Ibopamine 2% eye drops in BSS® solvent seem effective in the treatment of uveitis-related hypotony.

A well documented case of hepatic fascioliasis (HF), successfully treated with triclabendazole, is reported. Predominant clinical manifestations were fever, marked eosinophilia and abdominal pain. Triclabendazole was given as two single oral doses of 10 mg/kg each. Neither side effects nor clinical or parasitological relapses were seen after three months of follow up Based on this experience and few other similar reports in the literature, triclabendazole might be a valid therapeutical alternative in the treatment of human fascioliasis.

External Root Resorption

Background: Avulsion and reimplantation of permanent teeth represent a major challenge in terms of treatment and long-term prognosis. The present study reported clinical management of external root resorption of an avulsed and reimplanted maxillary central incisor. Case report: A 9-year-old boy reported an uncomplicated crown fracture and avulsion of tooth 11 and complicated crown fracture of tooth 21 due to trauma. Reimplantation of element 11 was obtained within 30 min post-trauma and 3 days after both elements were diagnosed with necrotic pulp. In addition, tooth 11 showed early external root resorption. Both elements underwent endodontic treatment and root closure with apical plug using calcium-silicate-based cement. At 6-month follow-up root resorption appeared to be arrested. Twenty-four months after trauma the clinical results were stable, although signs and symptoms of ankylosis were observed. Conclusions: An immediate endodontic approach and use of calcium-silicate-based cement seemed to contrast the progression of root resorption of an avulsed and reimplanted central incisor after 24 months of follow-up.

Abstract. We reported the case of a 36-year-old Balinese man who disseminated cysticercosis, presented neuro-, subcutaneous- and oral-cysticercosis. Diagnosis of it was based on anamnesis, clinical examination including CT Scan, histopathological and serological examinations. The patient visited outpatient clinic of Sanglah Denpasar Hospital in Bali, in June 2003 with two subcutaneous nodules in the body. Serological examinations (ELISA and immnunoblot) used both purified glycoproteins and chimeric recombinant antigen were positive. The two subcutaneous nodules disappeared after treatment with albendazole. In January 2004, the patient presented neuro-, and oral-cysticercosis. CT Scan showed multiple active lesions in the brain. During the treatment with 800 mg albendazole daily during for one month. The side effects of it such as nausea and vomit were found in that patient. Antibody responses in ELISA and immnunoblot were still positive and follow up CT scan in May 2004, it showed that very similar figures as previously. Repeated treatment with 400mg albendazole daily for one and half month was applied. Antibody responses became low, and CT scan in March 2006 did not show any active cysts but only calcified lesions.
