Background: Intellectual Disability (ID) is often associated with varied behavioural problems that have a significant emotional and social impact on both the child and parents. Objective: To identify the indications of homeopathic medicines in the treatment of behavioural problems of children with ID, using 'Lectures on Homeopathic Materia Medica by Dr. J.T. Kent', and to assess the changes on the standardized scales. Materials and Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted on children aged 3 to 18 years with Intellectual disability. A total of 33 cases were assessed using BASIC MR PART B and WHODAS CY scales. The data was recorded and statistically analyzed. Results: Clinical indications of 17 remedies were obtained from Kent's Materia Medica, according to the totality of symptoms and the key indications obtained and used as prescriptions. Stramonium was prescribed in maximum cases (n=5). Changes in behaviour and disability were moderate in most cases and statistically significant for majority of cases. Conclusion: Medicines selected from 'Lectures on Homeopathic Materia Medica by Dr. J.T. Kent' proved to be effective in managing behavioural problems of children with ID along with the changes on overall disability levels and gave some very reliable indications for remedy prescription. Significant changes were observed in all domains of both scales. Controlled trials are warranted.
Abstract-There are thousands of products in the market. Every product has an aspect, and some of these aspects of a product are important and some can be ignored, and these important aspect of an product plays a vital role in making decisions so as to buy the product or not, Therefore, identifying these important aspects of a product and ranking them according to there importance and significance considering customer reviews helps to take a firm and better decision. This paper gives an explanation of one of the technique that is Naive Bayes Classifier for identification of the product aspects and its classification. This paper explains how to identify an aspect and to rank them in such a way that the customers find it easy to buy the product. These aspects are identified using (a)Vital aspects generally commented by a lot of customers (b) And there views on how these aspects greatly influence the product.
INTRODUCTION: Blatta orientalis is an indicated remedy for asthma and other chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases in homeopathic medicine. Preclinical studies indicate that B. orientalis shows anti-asthmatic properties in animals when induced with bronchospasm using acetylcholine through nonselective anticholinergic and antihistaminic activities. However, no studies have explored the changes in the vital capacity of the lungs on administering the homeopathic remedy, B. orientalis. It is shown that isometric contraction of pectoral muscles enhances the vital capacity of lungs by increasing ventilation and decreasing alveolar partial pressure of carbon dioxide. It can act as a valuable tool for monitoring the vital capacity of the lungs before and after administration of B. orientalis. AIM: This preliminary research takes the first step toward exploring vital capacity through a randomized, placebo-controlled study elucidating the effects of ongoing isometric contraction of muscles on the vital capacity of lungs of healthy individuals on the administration of B. orientalis in different potencies. It aims to compare changes in the vital capacity of lungs in healthy participants during an acute bout of isometric contraction by handgrip dynamometer after administration of B. orientalis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighteen participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria gave voluntary consent to participate in this research study. The research team measured the Tmax (measured by handgrip dynamometer) and the vital capacity (measured by a vitalograph) of these participants at the baseline. The participants were then placed into three-medicine arms to administer medicine orally: Arm 1 – B. orientalis Q, Arm 2 – B. orientalis 30C, and Arm 3 – placebo, following allocation of six participants in each medicine arm. Lottery method was used for grouping participants randomly to each medicine arm. The participants were numbered from 1 to 18 using the lottery method, and it was made sure that each arm had one male and five females to have similar gender distribution. The research team blindfolded the participants with a cloth bandage (dupatta) before categorizing them into different medicine arms. The team measured each participant's Tmax and vital capacity, and then administered one dose of the assigned medicine. The team measured the Tmax and vital capacity of the participants after 10 min of administering the medicine. The process was repeated after every 24 h for 3 consecutive days. RESULTS: The effect of ongoing isometric contractions of the skeletal muscles on the vital capacity acted as a great tool to measure improvement in vital capacity. The vital capacity of the lungs was significantly decreased after oral administration of B. orientalis Q and B. orientalis 30C, whereas there was no significant effect found in the arm that received a placebo. CONCLUSION: This preliminary study shows that B. orientalis decreases the vital capacity of lungs in healthy subjects and calls for further exploration of its action in higher potencies and with wider experimental parameters. Following the Law of Similimum, this inference also adds to the research scope on the potential of this homeopathic medicine in patients with restrictive lung diseases where the vital lung capacity gets significantly decreased.
