People with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) have an overstated sense of their importance. They also always want external praise and attention. In this disorder people have a blown up opinion of themselves. They may find their relationships unfulfilling and others may not enjoy being around them. Let’s discuss it in detail!!!!

INTRODUCTION

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a multiplex personality disorder often invented with other affective and personality disorders.The word “ narcissism” originates from greek word mythology. It is the story of narcissus, a handsome young man who fell in love with his own reflection on a pool of water. The word narcissism is also known as  self obsessed, often to describe someone who seems  full of idiomaticity. They are their own topmost priority. People suffering from this condition are in love with this inflated self image as it allows them to avoid the deep feeling of insecurity. Narcissistic personality disorder involves egocentric, aggressive  thinking and behaviour, lack of affinity for the people.

A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school, and financial affairs. They are always disappointed and unhappy. They are not satisfied with their work,relationship and financially as well. They always want attention from others and always want to be admired. They are overly concerned with themselves, with their own desires, needs and of course their interests. In simple language we can describe them (Egoistic, self centred, self loving, selfish, solipsistic). They are always involved in their own stuff or can say they are indifferent from the realistic society.

Ayurvedic Treatment For Coccidioidomycosis With Herbal Remedies

Abstract

Coccidioidomycosis is also called Valley fever because this was an outbreak among farm workers in the valley of California. It is a fungal disease caused by inhaling dust or dirt contaminated with fungus of Coccidioides genus. This disease is primarily detected in southwestern United states, in some places of central and south America. This disease commonly develops in young dogs that tend to be more active outdoors, digging in dirt, following a dust storm may have a higher risk to cause this fungal infection as coccidioidomycosis.

Coccidioidomycosis

Introduction

Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal disease caused by dimorphic fungi Coccidioides immitis or Coccidioides posadasii that affects a variety of species, including dogs. Coccidioidomycosis also known as Valley fever, california fever, desert rheumatism, san Joaquin valley fever, Dogs and cats living in and over these endemic areas are at major risk of exposure to infectious arthrospores. Pulmonary infection is caused by these fungi and results in chronic coughing. These fungal organisms grow down a few inches into soil and can live in the high temperatures of desert regions. In dogs signs of primary pulmonary disease include a cough, fever, weight loss etc. Disseminated disease occurs when the fungus has spread outside of the lungs and may include clinical signs such as lameness, pain, seizures, anterior uveitis, and localised swelling. There is an increased risk of infection associated with the amount of time spent outdoors, a larger roaming space accessed by the dog.

Causes Of Coccidioidomycosis

This disease occurs after inhalation of fungal spores.
Coccidioides that primarily existed in soil as filament form transform into hyphae and arthroconidia. These spores can be inhaled easily by mammals. On arriving at alveoli, they enlarge in size and development of septation occurs. Septation leads to formation of endospores and then these endospores spread the infection to adjacent tissues within the body of the infected individual. Nodules can form in lungs and when they rupture, their content releases in bronchi and formation of thin-walled cavities occurs and leads to chest pain and blood in the cough and sputum.

Symptoms Of Coccidioidomycosis

Symptoms are not specific for the disease but as in the starting phase of disease symptoms commonly include fever, breathlessness and cough, bronchitis or pneumonia, anorexia, and lethargy. Disseminated disease occurs when the fungus has spread outside of the lungs and may include clinical signs such as lameness, pain, seizures, anterior uveitis, and localised swelling. If the disease starts to cover other parts of the body, the symptoms will depend on involved tissue and organs. The dog may show swelling in bones, or in joints and weight loss. Enlargement in lymph nodes, nervous system dysfunction or inflamed eyes, and in aggravate stages of the skin may develop sinuses or draining tracts that are unable to heal.

Diagnosis For Coccidioidomycosis

Chest X-rays may help to make a diagnosis. It may show nodules or cavities in lungs, lung opacification, enlarged lymph nodes, and pleural effusion.

Treatment For Coccidioidomycosis

  • Mild asymptomatic cases can be treated at home rather than travel to hospital.
  • With severe symptoms, antifungal therapy may be prescribed.
