Unraveling the Low Frequency Triggered Electromagnetic Signatures in Potentized Homeopathic Medicine

In the present work, a novel experimental tool was developed to precisely measure the potency levels in various homeopathic medicines, under various excitation frequencies. Electromagnetic responses (output voltages) are detected from the homeopathic medicines in different potencies. These unique electromagnetic responses were captured using an electromagnetic coil at 300 Hz and 4.8 kHz for each potency level developed in-house. Different potencies of Homeopathic medicine Ferrum Metallicum (FM-1X to FM-6X), prepared with α‑lactose monohydrate as its base, exhibited significant and distinct electromagnetic signals. At high excitation frequency, the output signal voltage from high homeopathic potencies had a better resolution compared to the signal obtained at lower frequency. The electromagnetic signal of various homeopathic medicines was also measured, and a distinct output voltage corresponding to each potency level was detected. Our experimental results confirmed that each homeopathic medicine has characteristic electromagnetic signals under excitation/resonance frequency. The results not only provide scientific evidence to easily classify the homeopathic medicine potency but, also helps to understand the science behind the curative action in terms of photon emission of homeopathic medicines.

Experimental Study of Therapeutic Efficacy of the Topical Preparation «Kourochitin» in Skin Allergy

Background: The researchers of PIBOC RAS developed the dermo-protective topical drug called «Kourochitin», active substance of which is known quinazoline alkaloid tryptanthrin. In the present work, therapeutic efficacy of this drug in the treatment of allergic dermatosis was evaluated. Methods: Dermo-protective action of «Kourochitin» was studied in tow murine models: 2, 4- dinitrofluorobenzene- induced allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and imiquimod-induced psoriasis. Results and Discussion: In a model ACD, it was shown that «Kourochitin» exhibits the curative action on pathophysiological, hematological and immunological parameters in ACD. Namely, «Kourochitin» 1) reduces the level of erythema in the allergen damaged skin area and increases the healing index of the epidermis; 2) normalizes the content of eosinophils, basophils and monocytes in the blood of experimental animals; 3) inhibits the production of main pro-inflammatory cytokines: interleukins - 1 and 2, interferon-gamma, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. In a murine model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis, it was shown that «Kourochitin» application led to reduction in psoriasis severity on the inflamed epidermis of experimental animals. Additionally, in veterinary research, «Kourochitin»-treatment of canine atopic dermatitis almost completely eliminated signs of allergic manifestations on the epidermis. Conclusion: The obtained data suggest that «Kourochitin» as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and wound healing remedy is a potential drug for therapy of various dermatological diseases, in particular allergic skin lesions.

Curative Activity of Insecticides Used to Control Spotted-Wing Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Tart Cherry Productions

Spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Matsumura) is a major pest of soft-skinned fruit and due to the low infestation tolerance for marketable fruit, growers take preventive actions to hinder spotted-wing drosophila damages. Insecticides application is one of the measures taken by growers. Although intensive spraying programs have been used to manage spotted-wing drosophila, its early infestation, rapid reproduction, and vast range of host have caused damage to still occur in fruit, including tart cherries, Prunus ceraus (Linnaeus). Therefore, there is a merit for information on insecticide’s curative activity to understand whether sprays manage spotted-wing drosophila individuals within infested fruit. Tart cherry fruit were exposed to spotted-wing drosophila adults for 3 d. After this infestation period, insecticides were applied 1 and 3 d later. Small larvae, large larvae, and pupae were counted 9 d after initial infestation. A parallel set of insecticide-treated tart cherries were subjected to residue analysis. Phosmet and spinetoram were able to reduced live spotted-wing drosophila counts compared with the control at all life stages and insecticide application times, whereas zeta-cypermethrin, acetamiprid, and cyantraniliprole were less consistent in reducing spotted-wing drosophila numbers. Chromobacterium subtsugae demonstrated no curative action. Residue analysis demonstrated that zeta-cypermethrin residues mostly remained on fruit surface. Small portions of phosmet, spinetoram, and cyantraniliprole were able to penetrate fruit surfaces and move into subsurface tissues. Acetamiprid was the only compound which >47% penetrated into the fruit subsurface consistently across both years. Curative activity demonstrated in this study can provide additional tactics for spotted-wing drosophila management in tart cherry Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.

Knowledge and Awareness about Antibiotic Usage and Emerging Drug Resistance Bacteria among Dental Students

Antibiotics are commonly used in dental practice. It has been estimated that 10% of all antibiotic prescriptions are related with dental infection. Antibiotic treatment is a feature of pharmacotherapy with the particularity of providing both prophylactic and curative action. It was introduced in the mid twentieth century in the form of sulfa drug (1935), penicillin (1941), tetracycline (1948) and erythromycin (1952). Since then, antibiotics have focused much clinical and pharmacological research, in response antibiotics, the consolidation of new disease, and novel clinical situations.to “Penicilin antibiotics are commonly use in dental practice. Amoxicillin, metronidozole and clavulanate are frequently prescribed drugs by dentists.” The aim of this study is to create knowledge and awareness about antibiotic usage and emerging drug resistance bacteria among dental students.
