RESUMO
As síndromes mielodisplásicas (SMD) representam um grupo heterogêneo de doenças com ampla variação de manifestações clínica e patológicas, que têm em comum um defeito clonal nas células progenitoras (células-tronco). A patogênese da SMD ainda é pouco compreendida, uma vez que há participação de um complexo de eventos abnormais. Neste relato de caso, longitudinal e prospectivo, é apresentado o tratamento de uma paciente diagnosticada com SMD. O acompanhamento e o tratamento desta paciente foi realizado com terapêutica convencional, consistindo em transfusões sanguíneas e quelante de ferro (2003-2015) e tratamento homeopático coadjuvante (2015-2018). Foi constatada retomada da hematopoiese, evoluindo com melhora hematológica sem necessidade transfusional, com consequente suspensão do tratamento com hemotransfusão pela equipe de hematologia, 4 meses depois de iniciar a terapêutica homeopática.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a heterogeneous group of diseases with variable clinical and pathological manifestations having in common clonal expansion of defective hematopoietic stem cells. The pathogenesis of MDS is still poorly understood, as it involves a complex of abnormal events. In this longitudinal and prospective case report, the homeopathic treatment of a patient diagnosed with MDS is described. The patient received conventional treatment, consisting of blood transfusions and iron chelator (2003-2015) and adjuvant homeopathic treatment (2015-2018). Hematopoiesis returned to normal, and blood transfusions were discontinued by the attending hematology staff 4 months after the onset of homeopathic treatment. (AU)

In an effort to improve the electrical properties of the electroactive Poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP), we introduced a novel and simple approach to synthesize PVDFHFP composite films by incorporating ultrahigh dilutions of two homeopathic medicines Ferrum metallicum (FM) and Zincum oxidatum (ZO) in different potencies. The homeo-PVDF-composite films (HPCF) were synthesized by simple solution casting technique. XRD, FESEM, FTIR studies were performed to check the presence of nanoparticles in the film. The electrical properties of the HPCF samples get enhanced significantly due to the incorporation of the medicines and the effect increases with the increase in potency of the medicines.

As a therapeutic tool high dilutions (HDs) are always at the center of controversies due to problems to validate them as a function of Avogadros number. Nevertheless, homeopathy is practiced around the world as a complementary and alternative medicine. The present study sought to evaluate HDs of homeopathic drug Ferrum metallicum (Ferr) 6, 30, 200, 1M, 10Mc and 50Mc, all of which except for 6c surpass Avogadros number. Using HRTEM and EDS it was conclusively shown that: 1) all the investigated HDs of Ferr contained plenty of nanoparticles (NPs); 2) the size of NPs were within the quantum dots (QD) size range, except for 50Mc, in which larger particles were found (12.61nm); 3) NPs contained iron in various weight percentages; 4) the weight percentage of iron was highest in HDs 10Mc and 50Mc...

Homeopathic medicines are often prescribed at very high dilutions and it is a clinically observed fact that the medicinal effect of the drug remains even at these high dilutions. The increase in potency of a medicine due to potentization is still debatable from physico-chemical point of view. Out of various hypotheses to explain this phenomenon, a recent hypothesis, advanced by us and supported by others, is that the size of the constituent particles decreases and eventually achieves nano dimension due to potentization. From the experiments performed by our group, the size of nanoparticles (NPs) of Cuprum metallicum, Zincum oxydatum, Aurum metallicum, Ferrum metallicum and Aconitum napellus (6cH, 30cH and 200cH) have been estimated. A general mathematical expression of the form y = a x-n has been derived which relates the size of NPs (y) with the corresponding potencies (x). There is no method to calculate the accurate potency of the homeopathic medicine, as the potency of a medicine depends to some extent on the method of preparation, for which a standardized procedure is warranted. Also, while handling a medicine, the solvent might evaporate causing a change in the potency. Thus by measuring the size of the NPs and using our proposed standard curve, the potency may be estimated...

La plupart des donnees contenues dans cette Matiere medicale homeopathique sont inedites. Elles ont ete deduites ou calculees a partir des provings originaux de l'Encyclopedie de Matiere medicale pure, de Timothee Field Allen, et des Guiding Symptoms, de Constantin Hering. En ce qui concerne les indications thermales, elles font partie d'un ouvrage de crenotherapie homeopathique exhaustif, inedit a ce jour et portant sur cent stations thermales francaises. (AU)
