ARTICLE PRESENTATION ON GB SYNDROME -BY DR PALLAVI NM 2ND YR PG SCHOLAR

Summary of the Presentation on Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS):

The presentation provides a comprehensive insight into Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare immune- mediated neuropathy that causes peripheral nerve damage, often triggered by infections or vaccinations. It highlights the disease's etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical variants. The document outlines a ten- step approach to diagnosing and managing GBS, including early recognition, ICU admission criteria, treatment options (IVIG, plasma exchange), and rehabilitation strategies.

Two case studies are presented to demonstrate alternative management approaches: Ayurvedic Approach

Focuses on nourishing therapies like abhyanga, basti, and herbal formulations to restore nerve function. Showcases rapid recovery in a patient with quadriplegia within 1.5 months.

Integrative Medicine (Ayurveda + Yoga):

Combines conventional treatment, yoga, and Ayurveda for chronic GBS symptoms. Demonstrates significant improvements in motor and sensory recovery within 30 days.

The presentation emphasizes a collaborative and holistic approach in treating GBS, including Ayurvedic principles like vatapittaghna chikitsa and modern rehabilitation techniques. It also highlights the potential benefits of integrating traditional and modern therapies, while acknowledging limitations like small sample sizes and lack of statistical validation.

BY DR.MEGHANA S DHAPSE FINAL YEAR PG SCHOLAR

Poisoning is defined as the harmful or lethal disruption of the body's physiological processes by substances (solid, liquid, or gas) introduced through various routes such as ingestion, inhalation, or absorption. These substances can be categorized into sources such as household items (detergents, disinfectants), agricultural chemicals (insecticides, fungicides), industrial by-products, drugs, and contaminated food. Based on exposure, poisoning can be classified into acute (short-term, reversible), chronic (long-term, gradual harm), subacute, and fulminant (rapid onset, often fatal). Poisoning can also be intentional, unintentional, or undetermined. Common clinical symptoms include blue lips, difficulty breathing, nausea, seizures, and loss of consciousness. Diagnosis can be made through the onset of symptoms, evidence in food, vomit, urine, or postmortem findings, such as specific organ damage seen in different poisons like organophosphorus, mercury, and food poisoning. 

Ayurveda approaches poisoning diagnosis through Panchabhautika Pariksha, evaluating the poison’s physical properties, and offers treatments like Mantra (for snake bites), Utkartana (incision), Agnikarma (cauterization), and Raktamokshana (bloodletting). Modern treatments for specific poisons include decontamination, antidotes (e.g., atropine for organophosphorus), and supportive care (e.g., oxygen therapy for carbon monoxide poisoning). Both Ayurveda and modern medicine share common principles in treating poisoning, although they differ in drugs and techniques. Ayurvedic treatments like Pratisarana (rubbing medicated powder) and Sagnasthapana (resuscitation) are integral to its holistic approach. Ultimately, further research and clinical trials are essential to validate Ayurveda’s time-tested principles in combating poisoning, enhancing its credibility as an enduring system of medicine
