Patients At Risk

Clinical holistic medicine (CHM) is short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (STPP) complemented with bodywork and philosophical exercises, to be more efficient in treating patients with severe mental and physical illness. STPP has already been found superior to psychiatric treatment as usual (TAU) and thus able to compete with psychiatric standard treatment as the treatment of choice for all non-organic mental illnesses; we have found the addition of bodywork and philosophy of life to STPP to accelerate the process of existential healing and recovery (salutogenesis). In this paper we compare the side effects, suicidal risk, problems from implanted memory and implanted philosophy of CHM with psychopharmacological treatment. Method: Qualitative and quantitative comparative review. Results: In all aspects of risks, harmfulness, and side effects, we have been considering, CHM was superior to the standard psychiatric treatment. The old principle of “first do no harm“ is well respected by CHM, but not always by standard psychiatry. CHM seems to be able to heal the patient, while psychopharmacological drugs can turn the patient into a chronic, mentally ill patient for life. Based on the available data CHM seems another alternative to patients with mental illness. There seem to be no documentation at all for CHM being dangerous, harmful, having side effects of putting patients at risk for suicide. As CHM uses spontaneous regression there is no danger for the patient developing psychosis as, according to some experts, has been seen with earlier intensive psychodynamic methods. CHM is an efficient, safe and affordable cure for a broad range of mental illnesses.

Vaccines are fundamental instruments upon which all modern medicine is hinged. This has recently come into the light because of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes of the public regarding vaccination. To this end, a questionnaire, which was disseminated to the general population between 2017 and 2019, was used. We evaluated the responses from 1647 individuals (61% female, with a median age of 37 years, mostly from urban settings). Most respondents (85%) had children and were in favor of vaccination. Our study underlines the role that family physicians have in the education and information of citizens. A small, but considerable, number of respondents (108, 7.84% of those with children) had not vaccinated their children according to the national vaccination scheme. Deterrents were considered to be lack of information and fear of side effects. However, 167 of our respondents (12.12% out of 1377 respondents with children) said that their child experienced adverse events—most of which were mild local reactions. Alternatives to vaccination were proposed by some. In this study, we highlight the attitudes of respondents and multiple gaps in general knowledge, both of which may need to be addressed, especially in light of the current pandemic situation and past failed campaigns.

AbstractDrug-drug interactions (DDI) represent a significant problem in modern medicine. The number of patients with multi-morbidity, who take multiple drugs, is constantly increasing (polypharmacy). The related exponential increase in potential DDI is almost incomprehensible. In this article, we review pharmacodynamic DDI and provide clinically relevant examples. In addition, we extensively review pharmakokinetic DDI (e. g. through the cytochrome P450-system or p-glycoproteins) that can modify the plasma concentration of many compounds, thereby also increasing the likelihood of unwanted side effects. Finally we provide tools, which may help clinicians in their daily practice to identify and avoid potential DDI. In the context of an ageing society receiving polypharmacy, a better awareness of DDI and of strategies to prevent them is expected to reduce mortality and morbidity.

Background Intrathecal sufentanil relieves labor pain but centrally mediated side effects are common. Preventing rostral spread of intrathecal sufentanil should limit these side effects. Both direction of the lateral opening of a pencil-point needle and drug baricity modify the spread of intrathecal local anesthetics. This randomized, prospective, double-blind study examines the effects of these variables on intrathecal sufentanil labor analgesia. Methods Forty laboring, full-term parturients, whose cervixes were dilated less than 5 cm and who requested analgesia for labor were enrolled. Combined spinal epidural analgesia was induced in patients in the sitting position. They were allocated to receive 10 micrograms intrathecal sufentanil diluted with either normal saline or dextrose with the aperture of the pencil-point needle directed cephalad or caudad during drug injection. Thus there were four groups of ten patients: dextrose up, dextrose down, saline up, and saline down. Sufentanil was diluted with normal saline to a concentration of 10 micrograms/ml. The study drug was made by mixing 1 ml sufentanil solution with either 1 ml 10% dextrose or 1 ml normal saline. Visual analog scores for pain, pruritus, nausea, and pain relief were recorded before and 5, 10, 15, and 30 min after drug injection. Results Baricity, but not needle orientation, influenced pain relief and pruritus. Sufentanil in dextrose produced less itching but also less analgesia. Nine of 20 women in the dextrose groups compared with 1 of 20 in the saline groups requested additional analgesia by 30 min. Conclusions Little or no labor analgesia developed for patients receiving sufentanil with dextrose. A supraspinal action may contribute to intrathecal sufentanil's analgesic efficacy.

Dizziness and vertigo are the most common complaints of patients that has a high economic burden on the health system. In modern medicine, treatment for dizziness and vertigo consists of chemical pharmacological therapy. Although these drugs are useful in controlling the disease, their side effects and inefficiency in full control of the disease require the use of complementary medicine in this field. Persian medicine consists of valuable experiences of Persian medicine scholars based on the theory of humors and temperaments. In Persian medicine, 2 types of disease are presented: dizziness ( sadar) and vertigo ( dovar). Persian medicine physicians expressed a different mechanism of action than modern medicine for these diseases. They believed that accumulation of abnormal humors, reeh (normal bloating) or causative pathologic substances, is the basic cause of sadar and dovar and that the most important treatment is cleansing the body, particularly the head from accumulated substances by bloodletting methods.

Raktapradar in Ayurveda is characterized by excessive or prolonged menstruation with or without intermenstrual bleeding, which is one of the most common bleeding disorders in women. Excessive bleeding from uterus either at the time of menses or in intermenstrual time is considered as Asrigdara or Raktapradar in Ayurveda. Normal menstrual bleeding including ovulation or more specifically the organized sequence of endocrine signals that characterizes the ovulatory cycle, menses regularities, predictability & consistency. It is most basic concept that control the endometrial cycle, the volume & the duration of menstrual flow. Cyclic regular menstrual bleeding which is excessive in amount & duration considered as Menorrhagia. Raktapradar can be correlated with menorrhagia. As per modern science, menorrhagia is defined as cyclic regular bleeding which is excessive in amount (>80ml) or duration (>7 days) or both. It is considered as one of the commonest leading gynecological problem. In modern medicine haemostatic, analgesic and hormonal therapies are advised for Menorrhagia, which includes hormonal therapy, antiprostaglandins & antifibrinolytic agents. These have not proven their definitive efficacy in spite of high costs; their side effects have led to hormonal imbalances hence it is need of time to have an integrated and comprehensive therapeutic intervention in Ayurveda to prevent recurrence& would overcome the modern medicine limitations. Many herbal & herbo-mineral preparations, Shodhan & Shaman Chikits as per Rugnabal are mentioned in Ayurveda to cure Raktapradar and related symptoms which can be used as per Anubandha Dosha and Lakshana.

Ever since the evolution of the species Homo sapiens, anal problems have been a source of constant anxiety. Contrarily there seems to be an increasing incidence of the commonest of all anal disease, i.e. Arshas, a kind of disease which is very unkind towards mankind. Ayurvedic literatures have described Arshas as Mahagada and can be compared to Haemorrhoids in modern medicine. The various therapies show that there is no universally acceptable technique in the management of Haemorrhoids and also these have many side effects and demerits. Pratisaraneeya Kshara the alkaline group of medicinal substances has been emphasized throughout the classical literature for Arshas, as a substitute for surgical procedure and can be used safely in patients who are afraid of surgery, old and weak also. This work includes preparation of Apamarga and Palasha Pratisaraneeya Ksharas; evaluation of the efficacy of Apamarga and Palasha Pratisaraneeya Kshara and comparing the results in the management of Arshas. The effects of Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara and Palasha Pratisaraneeya Kshara were evaluated clinically in 30 patients, 15 in each group randomly divided. The study concluded that in patients suffering from Arshas both Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara and Palasha Pratisaraneeya Kshara showed statistically highly significant results (p < 0.001) in terms of the improvement in Mass per rectum, Pain and Size of pilemass and 80% of the patients treated with Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara got complete remission from the disease, while with Palasha Pratisaraneeya Kshara 46.7% patients showed complete remission. Though there won’t many differences statistically, the comparison of individual criteria ‘s percentage and the relief obtained, Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara showed an upper hand in managing the Arshas.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19), produced by SARS-CoV-2, remains a challenge for modern medicine and a global health problem. For every 100 patients with COVID-19, about 20 need hospital care. In addition, some patients will be intubated and others under mechanical ventilation. Therefore, it is necessary to use drugs as a sedative and analgesic purpose, mainly. Thus, this study brings a survey on the drugs that can be used for the management of patients with COVID-19 in cases of intubation and mechanical ventilation in Brazil. In this paper, we will report the classes of anaesthetic and analgesic drugs. Highlighting the clinical indications for use, pharmacological characteristics of each drug in terms of doses, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and possible side effects and, in addition, peculiarities of drugs related to use in patients with COVID-19, when possible.

Clinical Benefits

In modern medicine, there is less and less room for worn-out schemes. Even though patients are initially diagnosed with the same illness, it often turns out in an in-depth medical interview how much they differ from each other. Not only the subtype of the disease itself is important, but also the lifestyle, the type of work performed, tolerance of adverse effects of the implemented therapy, or, as in the case of young women, maternal plans. Ignoring the reported plans, symptoms, and inadequacy of treatment for a given patient may result in a patient’s withdrawal of pharmacotherapy. Cardiological pharmacotherapy is an excellent example of this. The choice of a drug based on the subtype of hypertension, heart failure, or arrhythmia, a dosage regimen that takes into account daily habits and the absence of side effects, allows to achieve the best compliance. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the differences in the properties of particular substances within one group – β-adrenolytics, angiotensin- -converting-enzyme inhibitors, or calcium channel blockers. β-adrenolytics with vasodilatation effect bring different clinical benefits than those strongly cardioselective, new calcium antagonists cause fewer side effects with the same efficacy, and the use of well-studied drug combinations allows to reduce the number of tablets taken, reducing the risk of missing a dose.
