Causation plays a major role behind every disease. The cause and its corresponding effect combine with the individuality of the patient helps to form the totality. The Aim and objectiveswas to study the utility of rubric “Ailments from” using Synthesis Repertory 10.0 (RADAR) and its application in Homoeopathic case management, to study the rubrics and sub-rubrics of “Ailments from” through cases with Synthesis Repertory 10.0 and to classify the rubric “Ailments from” in terms of symptomatology. In this study synthesis repertory is used by applying the knowledge of reportorial totality and using the Ailment factor of the illness for treating the case to make the prescription in Homeopathy more substantial.

The cases were selected onbasis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. All cases were taken as per the case record format prepared for the study. Cases was collected from the CollegeOPD, Guide OPD, Peripheral OPD. Constructing the totality of symptoms andrepertorization was done for each case by using RADAR Synthesis repertory 10.0. Prescription of each case was based on the rubric “Ailments from” of the individual case. Changes in symptoms and clinical presentation were the parameters for assessing cases as marked improvement, improving and not improved. Results: Out of 30 cases, 21 cases showed marked improvement, 8 cases were improving and 1 case was not improved.

Dr. F. F. Motiwala, Dr. Swanand Shukla, Dr. Sachin Bhalerao, Dr Ajay Valke, Dr Sharmila R, Dr Dhanashree, Divya Rai, Shumayla Khan, Prajakta Pimple, Sharmin Khan, Aamir Mohammad

Anaemia is defined as a reduced hemoglobin concentration in blood below the lower limit of normal range, for the age and sex of individual. Normal hemoglobin level of new born at the time of birth is 14-22 %gm/dl, and in infant it is 9.5-13% gm/dl, normal adult hemoglobin lies between 13-16 % gm/dl in males, 11.5-15 % gm/dl in females. The aim of study is to compare Ferrum phos 6x and its combination with homeopathic medicine with the randomized controlled trial that homeopathy is somewhat worth for the treatment of anemia. So in this study the expected result was that the treatment of anemia with Ferrum phos 6x and Ferrum phos 6x along with homeopathic medicines will support in increasing HB level by 1 gm/dl.
