Abstract	Background: Thoracolumbar region is important biomechanics transition zone in which rigid thoracic and flexible lumbar spine meet. This area is highly vulnerable to traumatic spinal fracture.Among all spine fracture, compression type is most common and managed conservatively. Thoracolumbar spine fracture can be associated with neurological deficit, spinal instability. The optimal treatment for these injuries is still controversy and subject for research. Methods: This retrospective study included 30 patients with single level thoracolumbar fracture.All the patients clinical and radiological parameters were evaluated preoperative, post-operative and 1 year follow up. Clinical parameters were included Visual analogue score, Oswestry disability index. Radiologic measurement were regional kyphotic angle by cobb's method and anterior vertebral body height loss (Mumford' santerior body compression equation method) in X-ray. All the data were analysed in SPSS version 20. Results: A total of 30 patients were included in this study,19 were male.The mean age of the patients were 40.8±13.The main cause of injury was fall from height,26 patients. The most common level of fracture vertebra was L1,11 patients.The mean difference of preop and postop kyphosis was 11.70±50 with P<0.05.The mean difference of preop Oswestry disability index and postop Oswestry disability index score was 30.7±7.6 with T score 22(P<0.05).The preop and postop Visual analogue score score also improved ,mean difference was 2.8±1(P<0.05). Conclusions: Short segment instrumentation with placement of pedicle screw at fracture vertebra is one option in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture.

Abstract	Introduction: Analysis of data derived from homeopathic pathogenetic trials (HPTs, homeopathic drug provings) has been a challenge. Most parts of the homeopathic pharmacopeia were sourced from Hahnemann's Materia Medica Pura (1825-1833), TF Allen's Encyclopedia (1874) and Constantine Hering's Materia Medica (1879-1891), well before randomised controlled trials were in use. As a result, such studies and their outcomes harbour a large risk of inclusion of unreliable symptoms. Aims and objective: The main purpose of this article is to introduce Quantitative and Qualitative Pathogenetic Indices to improve the method of analysis of symptoms. Materials and methods: The data from HPTs for human immunodeficiency virus nosode, hepatitis C nosode, capsaicin alkaloids (capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin) and hydroquinone (HQ) were extracted and analysed in terms of novel Qualitative and Quantitative Pathogenetic Indices. Taken into the consideration were the qualitative aspect of a symptom (i.e. its intensity), and the quantitative aspect by calculating the number of symptoms per volunteer per day. The pathogenetic effects and data evaluation indices were calculated for each HPT. A comparison was made of symptoms of verum versus placebo provers in terms of their quantity and quality. Results: Four HPTs involving 81 volunteers (56 on verum and 25 on placebo) generated 555 symptoms or pathogenetic effects (excluding run-in phase symptoms), of which 448 (81%) were reported by volunteers who were in the verum arm, and 107 (19%) were reported by volunteers on placebo. The overall mean incidence of pathogenetic effects for the four HPTs was thus 8 per verum prover and 4.28 per placebo prover. The corresponding mean Quantitative Pathogenetic Index was 0.23 symptoms per volunteer per day for the verum arm and 0.12 symptoms per volunteer per day for the placebo arm. The overall mean incidence of pathogenetic effects in the run-in phase was less. The overall mean Qualitative Pathogenetic Index (number of symptoms, of a given intensity, per volunteer per day) for the verum arm was 0.09 versus 0.05 for the placebo arm. Conclusion: The symptoms exhibited by volunteers in the verum arm were more numerous and more intense than those in the placebo arm. An innovative and logical method of reporting of symptoms and analysis has been introduced by the use of these pathogenetic indices, which can be used in future as measurement tools for analysis of data from HPTs.

Abstract	The system of homeopathic medicine is based on the Law of Similars. It is often implied by students and practitioners of homeopathy that the fundamental principle suggests that if the substance is capable of producing certain 'symptoms', it can also remove, treat, or 'annihilate' similar symptoms if the same substance is administered in a small dose. Hahnemann clearly highlights the importance of pathogenesis or 'disease-producing power', and not just the symptoms-producing power, as a part of the 'totality of the disease'. The author perceives the need for a rectification in the symptom-centric approach in homeopathy. The pathogenesis of disease includes the mechanisms and the cause, which are more complete than the consideration of mere symptoms. Thus, the fundamental approach needs to be extended beyond the symptoms' similarity to the disease-pathogenesis similarity. Several clinical examples are given based on the imaginary expansion that is constructed on the 'mind' symptoms without the inclusion of the pathogenesis of the medicinal substance, suggesting the limitations and the risks to homeopathy of a purely symptom-centric approach.

Abstract	Hyperechoic breast lesions are relatively uncommon, constituting only 0.6-6% of all breast masses and 0.6% of all biopsied lesions. The majority of these lesions are benign. There are rare malignancies that can present as hyperechoic masses and careful ultrasonographic assessment must be employed to avoid misdiagnosis.

Abstract	Introduction: The system of homoeopathic medicine calls for continued development and upgrading. Many drugs used in homoeopathy have limited information about their original composition and collection method, making their exact reproducibility practically impossible or challenging. To improve the quality, reliability, ethics, legality, purity and science, there is an urgent need to review, revise, revolutionise, re-develop, remove and revamp many drugs in the Materia Medica in the current light of technology and modern medical knowledge. Method: A rigorous literature review of homoeopathy Materia Medica, pharmacopeia and manufacturing units was done. Based on the literature review, we have identified some challenges and suggested ways to overcome them. Observation and Discussion: The common observation is that most homoeopathy drugs prepared and sold in the market are prepared by simply stepping up the ‘back-potencies.’ Many drugs could be made afresh without depending on the old stocks of back-potencies. Although few pharmacies have started this practice in the UK, Brazil, the United States and India, many pharmacies prefer the back-potency route probably due to the reasons such as difficulty in procuring identical raw materials (e.g. Lachesis, Tarentula Spongia, X-ray), expensive raw materials (e.g. Aurum metallicum Argentum nitricum Platina ) and lack of facility to process the raw material (e.g. Phosphorus Radium bromide Diptherinu m, Carcinosin Well-defined mechanisms are required for drug standardisation, authenticity and quality of source material, standardised potentisation method, quantifiable force parameter, complete tracking record of back potency (traceability).

Abstract	Purpose: Upon identifying the need for an alternative treatment option in the management of hepatitis C to decrease viral load and improve health parameters, the investigator has developed the hepatitis C virus (HCV) nosode. Methods: An open-label observational study in 24 HCV-positive individuals was conducted by using the HCV nosode at 30C and 50C potencies. Results: In this clinical trial, the HCV nosode was administered to HCV-positive participants. From week 12 to week 24, the mean viral load decreased; the median viral load decreased by half, from 1,557,567.50 IU/mL to 789,265.50 IU/mL. However, at 24 weeks, the average viral load increased significantly (p = 0.2206) in the participants completing the trial. The study has shown a double population: a large set of responders with marked improvement (week 12 [p = 0.0120] and week 24 [p = 0.0304] and from week 12 to week 24 [p = 0.0028]) and a small set of nonresponders with increasing viral load (week 12 [p = 0.0120] and week 24 [p = 0.0304] and from week 12 to week 24 [p = 0.0028]). Most participants in this study showed improvement in appetite and weight gain. The treatment using the nosode was found to be safe in the tested population. Conclusion: The HCV viral load was affected by using ultra-diluted preparation sourced from HCV, as per the Law of Similars, in responders. Further studies of longer duration in patients with uniform baseline characteristics and those that adjust the potency to the individual participant's requirement are recommended.
