ABSTRACT

The effect of homeopathic medicine on biological and physical system is directly related to its potency [1]. However, from physico-chemical point of view it is difficult to explain this effect at such high dilution, as then the existence of even trace amount of particle is questionable. It has been reported that during the process of potentization, a large amount of mechanical energy gets transferred to the medium due to succussion [2]. This energy in all probability reduces the size of the drug aggregates. The drug then penetrates easily through the membrane barrier, and thereby gives rise to enhanced activity of the medicine. It has been experimentally proved by us and supported by others that indeed a reduction of size of the aggregates takes place with increase in potency [3]. Using five different homeopathic medicines, their sizes at three different potencies have been estimated and a general mathematical expression relating the size of the particle (Y) and the corresponding potency (X) has been derived as follows Y = a X -n.

ABSTRACT

Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis is an inherited and occasionally sporadic disease presents as recurrent episodes of obstructive jaundice without any obstruction in billiary channel with intervening symptom free periods. Here we are presenting a case of 20-year-old male with a recurrent jaundice and pruritus who later diagnose as BRIC.

ABSTRACT

The results of formation, phase behaviour and physical properties of biological microemulsions prepared from saffola/AOT/hexylamine/water in presence of different additives, viz. cholesterol, crown ether, urea and brine, are presented. It has been found that the additives and temperature have striking effects; mono-, bi- and triphasic solutions interchanging proportions among themselves. The conduction of microemulsion at different [Water/AOT] ratios (w = 9,10,14,18,20,39 and 45) has shown conspicuous dependence on temperature with a significant degree of percolation, whereas the dependence of viscosity on temperature has shown normal declining trend with temperature. A maximum in viscosity with respect to its variation with amount of water has been observed. The Walden product (lambda eta) has evidenced noncompensation of ion transport by conduction with the viscosity of the medium. The activation energies evaluated for conduction (delta E*cond) and viscosity (delta E*vis) are systematic except at [Water/AOT] ratio, w = 20. The additives cholesterol, crown ether and their mixture have shown a decreasing effect on the delta E*cond for percolation, whereas delta E*vis has increased in their presence. The bicontinuous microemulsion has the prospect for use as liquid membrane.
