Gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis, poses significant challenges in its management due to limited efficacy and adverse effects associated with conventional therapies. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Bacillus no.7, a probiotic agent, and individualized homeopathic medicine in the treatment of gout. A comparative interventional study was conducted on 46 patients diagnosed with gout, systematically assigned to two groups: Group A receiving individualized homeopathic medicine , Group B receiving Bacillus no. 7. ACR EULAR Criteria was utililized for screening the potential patients of gout.The primary outcome measures serum uric acid levels, assessed at baseline and follow-up visits over a period of 6 months. Secondary outcomes encompassed reduction in intensity of pain (using NPRS). Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in pain intensity and serum uric acid levels in both intervention groups. However, significant difference was observed between Bacillus no.7 and individualized homeopathic medicine groups in terms of efficacy. Furthermore, both interventions demonstrated a favorable safety profile with minimal adverse effects. Overall, our findings suggests that individualized homeopathic medicine may offer promising alternative therapeutic options for managing gout as compared to Bacillus no.7, warranting further investigation into their mechanisms of action and long-term effects.[1][4]

Diabetes has a significant and growing disease burden in every country, owing to the global growth in obesity and poor lifestyles. Abroma Augusta Mother tincture as add on therapy can give better results in management of Diabetes Mellitus type II, as per the Homoeopathic Literature. OBJECTIVE: Primary objective: To study if there is any significant difference in the effectiveness of management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus between two groups Group A: Abroma Augusta Ø along with Oral Hypoglycaemic Agents (OHA). Group B: Only OHA. Secondary objective: To evaluate the changes in the HbA1c level in Type 2 DM patients after the intervention of Abroma Augusta Ø. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 46 subjects of Type II DM were included in the study based on convenience sampling following inclusion and exclusion criteria. This was pre-test and post-test study of HbA1c of patients for 6 months, along with FBS. Intervention of Abroma Augusta Ø was made along with their regular OHA. The data was statistically analyzed using unpaired‘t’ test RESULT: Table value of t for 45 degrees of freedom is 2.02 at 5% (0.05) level of significance. Calculated value of t = 2.48 is greater than the table value at 5% level of significance. After the study we saw that Abroma Augusta Ø along with OHA was more effective in reducing the symptoms of the patient as compared to oral hypoglycaemic agents alone. CONCLUSION: According to the study, we conclude that Abroma Augusta Ø along with OHA is effective in reducing HbA1c of type 2 DM patients

Halitosis or breath odor is defined as an unpleasant or offensive odor emanating from the mouth In the general population, halitosis has a prevalence ranging from 50% in the USA to between 6% and 23% in China, and a recent study had revealed a prevalence of self- reported halitosis among Indian dental students ranging from 21.7% in males to 35.3% in females. The homoeopathic studies on halitosis are very much limited and thus the research wants to know the importance of homoeopathic management in cases of halitosis. Aim and Objectives: This research aimed primarily to explore the efficacy of Individualized Homoeopathic Medicine in cases of Halitosis of age group 3 to 18 years. The secondary objectives is to know the prevalence and to find out the most commonly indicated homeopathic medicine. Materials and Methods: A thorough case-taking process, guided by Homoeopathic principles, was conducted on 45 participants having halitosis. The Organoleptic Scale was utilized to gauge halitosis. Indicated Homoeopathic medicines were prescribed based on symptom totality. Regular assessments, follow-ups, and statistical analysis using t-tests and Microsoft Excel were integral components of the methodology. Results: The result reveals 80% participants shown improvement in halitosis after homoeopathic intervention while 20% shown resistant to the improvement and statistically the study is highly significant as collected t value (13.33) exceeded the table t value of 2.02 at 5% significance. Conclusion: The study found that the indicated homoeopathic medicines exhibited a notable effect in ameliorating the halitosis, assessed by organoleptic scale of age group 3 to 18 years.

This article explores the evolving discourse on the integration of homoeopathic system of medicine in perioperative care, focusing on the holistic management of patients throughout the surgical journey. Rooted in Samuel Hahnemann’s principles of individualized treatment and stimulation of the body’s healing mechanisms, homoeopathy operates on the premise that “like cures like.” Contemporary applications include addressing preoperative anxiety with medicines such as Aconitum napellus and Gelsemium sempervirens, and utilizing Arnica montana for its reputed anti-inflammatory properties during the intraoperative phase. The optimization of intraoperative comfort through homeopathy is discussed, highlighting the potential benefits of Arnica montana in minimizing side effects. Postoperative recovery involves holistic pain management using medicines like Hypericum perforatum for nerve pain and Staphysagria for wound healing. The integration of homoeopathy with conventional anaesthesia, supported by medicine like Avena sativa for sedation, showcases a comprehensive approach to enhance patient well-being. It is concluded that further more comprehensive research is warranted to explore the role of homoeopathic medicines in perioperative care.

Tinea corporis is no longer fungal infection but rather most stubborn clinical condition. Tinea corporis is common superficial infection of skin caused by dermatophytes. Tinea corporis is usually flat, itchy, circular rash with clearer skin in middle initially, later with raised border spreading radially with erythematous vesicular edges. It may expand with irregular circles giving this infection a layman terminology Ringworm.
