It is most common in thigh muscles. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common microorganism, accounting for 90% of cases. Pyomyositis diagnosis can be challenging due to neglect of initial symptoms, and usually presents with fever and muscle pain. Standard antibiotic treatment is the mainstay. However, it can be effectively treated with homoeopathic medicines by considering local pathology and other individualised characteristics. A 58-year-old male patient consulted with a non-healing abscess of myositis with multi-morbid conditions. Initially treated in outpatient department without any positive change, he was later admitted to inpatient department of National Homoeopathy Research Institute in Mental Health, Kottayam, and treated for 45 days. Merc. sol. 0/1 was given as the first prescription and repeated as required in the follow-up visits. Syphilinum 200 was given as an intercurrent remedy to address predominant syphilitic miasm. Abscess of myositis was cured, and diabetes and hypertension were under control. There was an improvement in sensorineural deafness in both ears, and his craving for alcohol was also reduced. The changes in outcome and causal attribution were assessed using the Modified Naranjo Criteria. The score was +9, close to the maximum (13), showing positive relationship between homoeopathic intervention and the outcome. This case proves the positive role of homoeopathic medicines intervention in treating non-healing abscess of myositis associated with multimorbidities.","PeriodicalId":283226,"journal":{"name":"Homœopathic Links","volume":"76 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140254642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They continue to be the most reliable and useful proving records even today. However, in absence of daybook of these provings, many practical questions essential for its successful replication have remained unanswered. In this study, we have tried to understand a few of these questions such as why Hahnemann did not mention the doses employed in his drug proving. What were his actual instructions for the repetition of doses to the provers? In 50 years, Hahnemann's propositions for posology in drug proving changed several times. Which phase and posology have contributed maximally to the existing literature? Last but not least, is the drug proving in 30th potency ‘the best and final plan’ of Hahnemann? In the process of finding answers to these questions, some fascinating facts have emerged. Notably, to prioritise individualisation in drug proving, design drug schedules more often in a successively increasing fashion and lastly, to explore all ranges of potencies for proving till little of novel character could be recorded on subsequent proving of the drug.","PeriodicalId":283226,"journal":{"name":"Homœopathic Links","volume":"42 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140076973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study design finds frequent application in homeopathic contexts, particularly in population-based surveys and the evaluation of disease prevalence or understanding the patient preferences in clinic-based samples. Notably, the utilisation of cross-sectional studies in homeopathy brings forth advantages such as expeditiousness and cost-effectiveness. These studies, serving as valuable precursors, play a pivotal role in offering crucial information before embarking on more extensive research endeavours, such as planning comprehensive cohort studies or establishing baseline measurements. While their rapid and economical nature allows for the efficient assessment of prevalence and associations, it is imperative to exercise caution when drawing causal inferences, given the singular nature of exposure and outcome measurements. This paper is meticulously designed to serve as a guide, aiding readers in comprehending the intricate nuances of cross-sectional study design and their judicious application in real-world scenarios, particularly within the dynamic landscape of homeopathy. By delving into the deeper aspects of conducting and reporting such studies, this paper aims to equip researchers and practitioners with the knowledge and insights needed to navigate the technicalities of cross-sectional research within the distinctive context of homeopathic practice.","PeriodicalId":283226,"journal":{"name":"Homœopathic Links","volume":"73 1-3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139893109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
