What is this Risperidone

Risperidone is not an uncommon name anymore, this is a massive drug brand traded across the nation for various psychotic and cognitive variations reasons be it mild or severe. It is usually given to stabilize the thought process in cognitive variations like that of schizophrenia, bipolar, irritability relating to autism among others. This chemical drug combination has been in the market for some time now, but its adverse effects have only started to topple to market recently. This is an atypical antipsychotics or medicine that is used to provide a tranquilizer effect to the brain. It works by helping to restore the lost balance within the brain in terms of certain cerebellar hormones.

In all the above-mentioned conditions of the brain, the individual portrays behaviour of self harm or mutually contradictory actions due to either  increased or reduced strength or quantity of hypothalamus hormone dopamine. When risperidone is administered orally or as an injection, it blocks these receptors of dopamine and thus helps to control the intellect of the individual.

How to comprehend its action

Even though dopamin is a hormone, it is easier to understand it as a neurotransmitter. A chemical substance that is used to send signals between the adjacent neurons or even across the body. Individuals with any cognitive malfunctions will have diminished levels in this neurotransmitter and risperidone helps to restore this lost balance. Considering the tremendous amount of help it offers to the individuals it is a remarkable drug.

Like any other coin having two faces, with the positives of this miraculous drug comes along the negatives. Generally adults over the age of 65 are seen to succumb to the risks offered by this medicine.

Along with these the ones that trouble the individual include fatigue, sleeplessness, drowsiness, nausea, anxiety, blurred vision, drooling, dry mouth, constant abdominal cramps, skin eruptions and finally weight gain. Often people may not realise these as the side effects and assume it to be of another disease. Towards the very last controlled movement in the face to hyperglycemia and seen in the individuals whole soon fall prey to death.

AYURVEDA AND COGNITIVE MALFUNCTIONS

Ayurveda is the science of life which has been time tested to offer the best approach to the people with maladies while improving their lifestyle as a whole. Here every disease is understood in terms of Dosha predominance and Dosha vitaition.

Authentic classics of ayurveda understand cognitive variations as due to fluctuations in the Vata entity along with other entities of the body, for it controls all the cognitive abilities and nervous functions of an individual. Cognitive malfunctions are generally termed under an umbrella term Unmada.

The main protocol in Ayurvedic treatment is to eliminate the root cause for the disease and later provide rejuvenation for the compromised system to restore its optimal functioning. The treatment initiated for this is specific to the individual and the  medical condition prevailed, yet on drawing a line, the individual may be given oral intake of herb infused ghee, Nasya or nasal administration of herbal blends, shirodhara and others.

Eruptive Syringoma Treatment with Herbal Remedies

Abstract

Eruptive syringoma is a rare variant of syringoma. The condition is accepted as the benign adnexal tumor. The tumors in this condition are considered the intraepidermal portion of eccrine sweat glands. Eruptive syringoma is having great cosmetic importance because any kind of systemic changes in the body or disturbance to physiological functioning is not noticed. The disorder is generally common in females during puberty or later. In this article we will discuss eruptive syringoma in detail and also about its considerable ayurvedic management.

Introduction

The word syringoma is derived from the greek language syrinx meaning tube. It was first described by Jacquet and Darier in 1887 and is capable of affecting 0.6% of the general population.  Eruptive syringoma is characterized by differentiation in the intra epidermal portion of eccrine origin. It is often associated with down syndrome and multiple syringoma. The small tumors in this condition usually appear on the back and neck (in predilection occurs in periorbital areas). The other rare forms of syringoma are plaque, linear, penile, vulvar, chondroid, solitary and sometimes on ankles also.

ERUPTIVE SYRINGOMA

Causes

Conditions like eruptive syringoma have no definite cause for its occurrence. But are generally related to people who have family history with the same condition. Patients with eruptive syringoma have  overactive sweat glands that result in overproduction of sweat or blockage of sweat glands. The patients who are suffering from marfan syndrome are also at a risk of developing eruptive syringoma. Mostly the females with oily skin and health issues that involve  diabetes mellitus preferably are at a greater risk of developing this condition.

In ayurveda this condition is understood as sweda vaha srotas dushti. The reasons for the dushti of sweda vaha srotas are blockage of roomkoopa (sweat ducts) by the vitiated doshas or by dushti of meda (subcutaneous fat). The reasons for vitiation of doshas include regular excessive exposure to simultaneous hot and cold environments, excessive anger, grief and fear.

Pathophysiology

Complete pathology of this condition is not known. According to accepted theories the cutaneous inflammatory process probably leads to hyperplastic reactive process in eccrine duct due to which inflammation occurs. This inflammation may be considered as the cause of eruptive syringoma. This theory can be accepted due to the occurrence of cutaneous inflammation after contact dermatitis, shaving, laser hair removal, radiation dermatitis etc.

Symptoms

In eruptive syringoma most commonly seen symptoms and signs include

  1. Developing  numerous small yellow eruptions on skin. These eruptions are benign and small.
  2. Redness around the affected areas. Along with redness, pain, itching or burning sensation is mostly observed by the patient.
  3.  These papules are commonly seen on the chin, eyelids, abdomen, under eyes and upper part of cheeks.
  4. Cutaneous examination shows multiple and symmetrical papules. The color of these papules varies from skin to brownish shiny in appearance.
  5. These papules measure around 2-4mm in diameter.
  6. These are  present all over the face and on upper extremities too.
  7. Skin biopsy shows normal epidermis with benign proliferation of multiple eccrine ducts lined by two rows of epithelial cells.
  8. Some of these eccrine ducts  have tadpole-like appearance and have an amorphous material in the ductal lumina.

The symptoms according to ayurveda includes excessive sweating or no sweating, sticky skin, skin tightening or burning sensation over skin.

Treatment of Eruptive syringoma

Eruptive syringoma is having huge cosmetic concerns as people with this condition commonly have to bear the weight of unacceptance in the society. The condition is really difficult to predict as it has a tendency to undergo regression with time. But how much time will be required is not defined. In eruptive syringoma the treatment is highly non standardized which includes excision, dermabrasion, cryotherapy, electrodessication, chemical peels.
