Homoeopathy is a science and this presentation explores the methodology behind understanding, analysing the disease and prescribing medicine to the patient. It defines the key milestones that if followed diligently by any physician can help him end up with a remedy which may prove out to be a panacea for all patient complaints.
Concept of homoeopathic materia medicasarojsawant2
Materia Medica is a Latin medical term
for the body of collected knowledge
about the therapeutic properties of
any substance(drug) used for healing with their sources, preparations, doses and use.
Sources & evolution of homoeopathic materia medicasarojsawant2
Homoeopathic Materia Medica :
The Record book of the effects of drugs on human beings
Earlier materia medicas have details regarding the materials and methods which may be used to prepare homeopathic medicines. There are different sources of materia medica such as plants, animal proving, clinical proving, toxicological findings, emperical methodas etc.

Introduction
With the information available about human genome and human proteome, it is now well understood that there are a lot of variations between individuals. These minor variations account for many differences like adverse drug reactions, which are responsible for many hospitalizations and casualties. The observed variable effect of drug is due to difference in sensitivity as some people need higher dose and some need lower dose to get similar therapeutic effect, but in some people drug has no therapeutic effects and in some it shows strong adverse reactions.

DRUG-RELATED PROBLEMS: THEIR STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
Linda M. Strand, Peter C. Morley, RobertJ. Cipolle, Ruthanne Ramsey, and Grace D. Lamsam
ABSTRACf: In order to better focus the role of the pharmacist on
patient need and patient outcome, a means of categorizing drug-related
problems (DRPs) is presented. A DRP exists when a patient
experiences or is likely to experience either a disease or symptom
having an actual or suspected relationship With drug therapy. Eight
different categories of DRPs are described and examples of each
category are offered. This categorization serves a number of functions,
such as: (1) to illustrate how adverse drug reactions form but one
category of extant DRPs, (2) to make tangible the pharmacist's role for
the future, (3) to serve as a focus for developing a systematic process
whereby the pharmacist contributes significantly to the overall positive
outcome of patients, (4) to bring to pharmacy practice a vocabulary
consistent with that of other healthcare professionals, and (5) to aid
in the development of standards of practice for pharmacists.

Rational Use of Medicine_Evidence Based Medicine_Therapeutic Drug Monitoring_...Dr Jeenal Mistry
Rational use of Medicine: Irrational use of medicines is a major problem worldwide. WHO estimates that more than half of all medicines are prescribed, dispensed or sold inappropriately, and that half of all patients fail to take them correctly. The overuse, underuse or misuse of medicines results in wastage of scarce resources and widespread health hazards. Examples of irrational use of medicines include: use of too many medicines per patient ("poly-pharmacy"); inappropriate use of antimicrobials, often in inadequate dosage, for non-bacterial infections; over-use of injections when oral formulations would be more appropriate; failure to prescribe in accordance with clinical guidelines; inappropriate self-medication, often of prescription-only medicines; non-adherence to dosing regimes.
Evidence based medicine: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is "the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients."The aim of EBM is to integrate the experience of the clinician, the values of the patient, and the best available scientific information to guide decision-making about clinical management. The term was originally used to describe an approach to teaching the practice of medicine and improving decisions by individual physicians about individual patients.
Therapeutic drug monitoring: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a branch of clinical chemistry and clinical pharmacology that specializes in the measurement of medication levels in blood. Its main focus is on drugs with a narrow therapeutic range, i.e. drugs that can easily be under- or overdosed.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

3. Clarity of Homoeopathic concepts
First and foremost milestone
There has to be a clear understanding of the concepts
of the
Law of Similia,
Single remedy, and
Minimum dose as promulgated by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann
Clear understanding of the fine nuances of these
principles will only pave way for an effective homoeo-
therapy
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 3
4. Sound knowledge of Materia Medica
Homoeopathic Materia Medica has adequate tools in the form of
medicines that are required to cure the diseases
To employ these medicines effectively, it is necessary to understand the
process of `drug evolution’ in Homoeo-therapy
Evolution of a drug from its material/crude state to the dynamic/potentised
form
Detailed study of the Patho-physio-dynamic shift
Shift in the nature of signs/symptoms produced by the drug in the animal and
healthy human beings, in its toxic crude state and various ultra-high dilutions
Shift from tissue-affinity of the drug to personality-affinity, is of
paramount importance for rational use of these medicines
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 4
5. Sound Clinical base
A fairly good knowledge of diseases involving the
Signs,
Symptoms and
Pathological markers
is essential for diagnosing a disease
It enables the physician to assess the efficacy of
homoeopathic medicine(s) in various diseases
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 5
6. Detailed Case History
“A well taken case is half the cure”. It helps both the physician and the
patient.
The physician is helped in gathering all the information useful in the selection
of a similimum
Patient gains added confidence from the physician having listened to all his
complaints
A good case taking involves
patient’s uninterrupted narration of all his sufferings,
followed by physician’s investigative-interrogation based on his observations
about the patient’s mental and body make-up
A careful analysis of the symptoms given by the patient is done during
the case taking itself and not at the end
To ascertain whether the symptoms pertain to the cause or the effect of the
disease
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 6
7. Detailed Case History (cont’d)
After all the characteristic symptoms have been delineated in
the case, further evaluation of this picture done in the light of
the varying strength of various characteristic symptoms of that
patient becomes necessary
To make a prescribing portrait of the patient’s illness
This portrait construes the basic nature of his chronic disease
and is closest to his inherent miasm which is the root cause of all
his diseases
A Homoeopathic remedy selected on this symptom complex (the
portrait) will undoubtedly be the constitutional remedy
(similimum) of the patient
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 7
8. Repertorisation
All chronic cases should always be repertorised
There is high possibility of finding yet other equally or better indicated remedy than the one
that may look obvious to the physician at the first instance from the portrait of the patient
There is scant symptom information available in most of the
homoeopathic medicines listed in current Materia Medica books
It is difficult to get a similimum for every patient
There may, in fact, be more than one medicine similar to the portrait of the disease
A good repertorisation with the right repertory, therefore, can be a big aid
in selecting an appropriate homoeopathic prescription
Prescription that is the most similar to the patient
The result of repertorisation also guides the physician regarding the level
of confidence in his prescription as also the probable outcome of the
selected remedy
the prognosis to homoeopathic treatment in a particular patient
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 8
9. Programming the treatment
Programming/planning the medicines in a chronic
disease involves
Selection of a constitutional medicine
Preparation of a kit of remedies for the acute exacerbations of the
chronic disease and any associated acute diseases
These acute prescriptions are primarily regional
remedies that not only suit the acute episode but also
cognate the constitutional remedy well
In this way, a plan of treatment can be usefully drawn
for a longer period
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 9
10. Posology
This has always remained a neglected and ill
understood area in homoeopathic treatment.
It consists of the
Dosage (potency) and
Frequency (repetition schedule)
The golden rule for deciding the potency in any
chronic disease is `Greater the Confidence, Higher the
Potency’ or vice-versa
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 10
11. Posology: Trigger v/s Titre
The repetition of the dose is decided by the
‘reactivity of the patient’ and not the potency of the
drug or nature of the disease/drug
In this sense, a single dose of homoeopathic
medicine, even in 30C potency, is to be followed by a
‘wait and watch’ period of at least a week
This medicine is neither repeated nor changed so long as
there is improvement seen in the patient’s ailment
It is the ‘Trigger’ & not the ‘Titre’ of homoeopathic
medicine that is needed to initiate/sustain the
healing process in any patient
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 11
12. General Management
The Diet & Regimen are becoming more important with the
passage of time
Particularly in the affluent society
Most of the life-style diseases can be safely managed by a
correction of diet, regimen and stressful conditions
The need to treat a patient arises only when there is no further
improvement seen in the disease condition despite the best
dietetic correction and/or exercise
Any medicine given in these pseudo-chronic diseases can even
become harmful to the patient
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 12
13. Follow-up / Assessment
Though the last ‘milestone’ of ‘essentials of
prescribing’, yet this is equally important in the
treatment of a patient
Because the selection of second prescription solely depends on how
well the follow-up has been done
The outcome of homoeo-treatment is assessed on the
basis of
‘Kent’s twelve observations’
‘Herring’s Law of Cure’,
Frequency
Duration,
Intensity of attacks’, and
Changes in signs, symptoms and the investigations
3/25/2009 Essentials of Prescribing in Homoeopathy 13
14. Summary
This may seem a long exercise in the selection of a similium
A physician who follows these milestones diligently ends up with
a remedy which may in fact prove out to be a panacea for all
patient complaints
Whereas a physician, who has no patience for patients and
prescribes medicine without taking care of all these
