This document discusses the management of diabetic foot ulcers from both modern and Ayurvedic perspectives. It presents the case of a 70-year-old man with a large abscess and cellulitis on his right foot. Using Paradadi churan and herbal oils like Jatayadi tail and Nirgundi tail, the wound size gradually decreased over several months with no infection or pain. This treatment aligned with Ayurvedic principles and avoided amputation, demonstrating Susruta's effective approach for managing diabetic foot ulcers.

Deep seated residual infection following abdominal surgery is a therapeutic challenge. Administering antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity reports may not yield satisfactory results in all cases. Exact anatomical features need to be ascertained by imaging before deciding further course of treatment. Communication with ductal and luminal components of the gastrointestinal tract need to be ruled out before commencing osmotic debridement methodology. A combination of hypertonic saline and hydrogen peroxide irrigation followed by negative suction or vacuum treatment helps in obliteration and healing of deep seated infections. A case of a deep seated abscess cavity communicating with exterior managed by osmotic debridement and vacuum therapy is presented along with a brief review of literature.

Twenty days old indigenous male bovine calf was presented for surgical treatment of an umbilical hernia with extensive adhesion and evisceration.
Clinical Findings- Physical examination through palpation revealed evisceration of umbilical content with extensive adhesion.
Treatment and Outcome- The surgical procedure was carried out aseptically following standard procedure. The bovine calf recovered without any complication two weeks after surgery.
Clinical Relevance- It can be concluded that surgical management along with administration of antibiotic, antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory drugs are effective for successful management of eviscerated umbilical hernia with extensive adhesion in the bovine calf.
Graded therapeutic approach to fissure in ano (study of 50 cases)KETAN VAGHOLKAR
Background: Fissure in ano is one of the commonest disease affecting all age groups. The condition is quite painful leading to interference in activities of daily living. A wide variety of modalities ranging from medical to surgical approaches have been proposed. However no single modality can be called the gold standard of treatment. Hence the need to develop an optimum graded approach to manage the condition. Methods: Fifty consecutive cases of fissure in ano presenting in an acute state were studied prospectively to develop a therapeutic algorithm for rational treatment of the painful condition. Results: Conservative treatment was commenced in all cases. Eighteen required anal dilatation while out of these eighteen patients, ten required sphincterotomy despite anal dilatation. Four patients had recurrence of symptoms despite all surgical treatments. Conclusions: Conservative treatment still has a significant and positive outcome in fissure in ano. Anal dilatation and sphincterotomy are the next options of treatment. Therefore a graded multimodal approach is therapeutic in treating fissure in ano.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Diabetic population of the world is 5 crore seventy
lacs out of 17 crore i.e. 1/3 of the total population of
the diabetics belongs to India. The diabetic foot is
still a problem of first not only for the quality of life
of affected patient but also to society due to its high
cost. And only preventive measures are know to
lower down the risk for amputation of 60-80%. This
falls under the heading of PRAMEHA PIDIKA – the
major complication of Prameha.

11. MATERIAL AND METHOD
Drug selected for study:
1. Paradadi churan(churan of impure parad,
ghandhak,
• kapur, sangjarahath, and pure neelatotha from
Rastantarsaar)
2. Jatayadi tail (Bh.R.)and Nirgundi tail(Sh.S)
12. TREATMENT SCHEDULE
Treatment was planned under two phases as per
treatment principle of Susruta Samhita for
Prameha Ppidika .
(i) Vranvat Chikitsa with Paradai Churan till
granulation appeared.
(ii) Ropan Chikitsa with Nirgundi Tail and Jatayadi tail
when granulation tissue had formed.
(iii) For controlling diabetes insulin was remained as
advised earlier.
(iv) Immunity enhances was also given in form of oral
medication
13. PROCEDURE FOR DRESSING
(i) For ten days, antiseptic dressing was done twice a day
with a paste of Paradadi Churan + Jatayadi Tail after
washing with saline water. Every time slough and
debris was removed. There was abcess underneath the
nail. So the nail was removed and osteoporotic pieces
of bone were also removed.
(ii) After ten days, dressing with Jatayadi Tail and
Nirgundi Tail was started which is continued till now.
(iii)After wound was healed for 3 cms. beneath the second
and third toes upto great toe it was observed that due to
formation of fibrous tissue the edge of the wound were
a part so both the edges were approximated by making
the area raw with lekhen karma and then suturing was
done.
14. CHRONOLOGY OF CLINICAL
OBSERVATION
(i) Patient was brought to OPD on 08.07.2004 with minor
gangrene of great toe and other three wounds discussed
above.
(ii) Patient was subjected to above scheduled treatment and
kept under regular observation.
(iii)After ten days, the gangrened area and the foul smell of
the wound disappeared, slough formation was reduced,
nocturnal pain disappeared, odema was reduced. But
size of the great toe shortens due to removal of
osteportic bone pieces and nail. Temp. was 99.4 F.
There was formation of granulation issue on the wound
no.1 and 2 whereas wound no.3 was completely healed.
The FBS was 110 mg/dl.
15. (iv) After one and half month, there was no slough
formation, no pain, Temp. was normal, slight
odema of feet was present. The value of F.B.S.
is 101 mg/dl. and the size of wound 1 was
reduced to 5 cm x 4 cm (8 cm x 5 cm earlier).
Size of wound 2 was reduced 2 cm x 1 cm (5 cm
x 1 cm earlier).
(v) After 18 days, size of the wound 1 was reduced
to 4cm x 2cm. But the edges of the wound were
apart because of formation of callus tissue over
remained 3 cms. So, both edges of the wound
were approximated by making them raw and
then sutured with Mercisilk 3-0.
16. (iv) After next 12 days stitches of the wound were
removed and observed that area was healed
completely and the wound remained 3 cm x 1
cm only whereas wound 2 was healed
completely as in photograph 2.

18. DISCUSSION AND COMMENTS
• Diabetic foot ulcer associated with gangrene of localized are of
great toe is a challenging problem in day to day clinical practice
as it comes under the category of Grade 4 according to Wagner
Ulcer Classification System. The current medical management is
unsatisfactory as drugs which limit inflammation, such as non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory or steroids will slow the healing of a
wound as it hinders the first phase of healing i.e. inflammation.
Secondly, the preparatory solutions used for cleaning the wound,
such as iodide, peroxide or strong detergents will cause harm
than good as not only they kill bacteria but they also kill
fibroblasts and epithial cells (second phase of healing). Deeply
pigmented solutions can alter a wound’s appearance, making it
more difficult to determine tissue viability. So, only balanced salt
solution is entirely appropriate and then surgical intervention is
only the option i.e. amputation.

19. • On the other hand, Paradadi Churan which is a Herbomineral
component increases the blood supply as well as Bio-chemical
ingredients needed for healing of the affected area. So there is
increase in leukocyte and monocytes for bacterial phagocytosis
and lysis fibrogen for adherence of wound; histamine,
prostaglandins and vesoactive substances for haemostasis. So with
Paradadi Churan first phase of healing becomes faster. Jatayadi
Tail looks after for bacterial contamination and odema and
Nirgundi tail increases the epitheliazation. Both together reduces
the callus formation and enhance wound contraction by migration
of epithelium from wound margins to centre. Neither epithelial
migration nor contraction will proceed in the presence of
heavy bacterial contamination. Both oils is of special
significance of course maintaining asepsis is of immense
importance. With this I would like conclude that Susruta has
mentioned wonderful treatment for Prameha Pidika which is
followed by Ayurvedic Practitioners for Management of Foot
Ulcers whereas in Allopathic Treatment amputation is done.

“We cared for the wound; but God healed it”.
