  • Title : Role of OSCE in Surgery for third BHMS students as per NCH guidelines related to syllabus of Third BHMS CBDC batch
  • Author : Dr. Rizwan Ahmed Shabbir Shaikh
  • Keywords : OSCE, OSPE, DOPS, CBDC, NCH
  • Page No : 01-07
  • Abstract : The NCH BHMS Regulations-2022 emphasize outcome-oriented, competency-based education, with explicit mention of OSCE and related tools (OSPE, DOPS, etc) as integral to assessment across professional years. Third BHMS marks the formal introduction of General Surgery as a major clinical subject, with defined clinical postings, history-taking, examination skills, and basic surgical procedures forming key outcomes. Within the CBDC for Third BHMS, structured clinical assessment is recommended to judge “shows how” and “does” levels of Miller’s pyramid, and OSCE is identified as particularly suitable for this purpose.

  • Title : Concept of health & Disease by Dr. H.C. Allen and Dr. J.T. Kent: A Review Article
  • Author : Dr.Nauhsin Shaikh
  • Keywords : Vital Force; Simple Substance; Dynamic Balance; Miasm; Psora; Susceptibility; Chronic disease
  • Page No : 08-11
  • Abstract : Health, for both Dr. J.T. Kent and Dr. H.C. Allen, is not just “no disease”; it is a state of dynamic balance in which the inner, immaterial life principle governs the body harmoniously and allows the human being to fulfil moral, intellectual and social purposes. Disease, in turn, is a disturbance of this dynamic “simple substance” or vital force, which begins deep within and only later appears as functional or structural pathology.

  • Title : Comparative Study on Individual and Group Study Approaches in Understanding Homoeopathic Materia Medica: An Academic Analysis
  • Author : Dr. Rizwan Ahmed Shabbir Shaikh & Dr. Rajendra Sadashiv Wakle
  • Keywords : Materia Medica, Collaborative learning, Individual study, Homoeopathic education, Pedagogical strategies, Academic performance, Learning outcomes
  • Page No : 12-35
  • Abstract : Homoeopathic Materia Medica represents one of the most comprehensive and complex subjects in homoeopathic medical education, requiring deep understanding of drug pathogenesis, symptom correlation, and clinical application. This paper presents a comparative analysis of individual and group study methodologies as pedagogical approaches for acquiring proficiency in Materia Medica. Through systematic review of learning theories, empirical research, and application-based evidence, this study examines the effectiveness, advantages, limitations, and complementary nature of both approaches within the context of homoeopathic medical curricula. The findings indicate that while group study demonstrates superior performance in collaborative problem-solving and knowledge consolidation (mean score: 69.02 ± 14.64), individual study excels in deep critical analysis required for drug differentiation and clinical correlation. A blended pedagogical approach integrating both methodologies is recommended for optimal learning outcomes in Materia Medica education.

  • Title : Effectiveness of Individualized Homoeopathic Adjunct Therapy in Patients Receiving Routine Antihypertensive Drugs: A Randomized Comparative Study
  • Author : Dr. Vinayak Asaram Wilayate
  • Keywords : Essential hypertension, Individualized homoeopathy, Adjunct therapy, Antihypertensive drugs, Randomized controlled trial, Integrative medicine, Blood pressure management
  • Page No : 42-62
  • Abstract : Background: Hypertension remains a significant global health challenge with increasing prevalence worldwide. While conventional antihypertensive medications effectively control blood pressure, many patients continue to experience residual symptoms and seek complementary therapeutic approaches. Individualized homoeopathy has shown promise as an adjunct therapy in various chronic conditions. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic medicines as adjunct therapy in patients receiving routine antihypertensive drugs compared to standard care alone. Methods: This prospective, double-blind, randomized comparative study was conducted at a private clinic of the author over a period of 12 months. Sixty patients with essential hypertension on stable antihypertensive medication were randomized into two groups (n=30 each): Group A received individualized homoeopathic medicine plus standard antihypertensive treatment, while Group B received a placebo plus standard antihypertensive treatment. Primary outcomes included systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and quality of life scores measured at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Secondary outcomes included a reduction in antihypertensive medication dosage and symptomatic improvement. Results: After 6 months of intervention, Group A demonstrated significantly greater reduction in mean SBP (18.4 ± 6.2 mmHg vs 8.6 ± 4.8 mmHg, p<0.001) and DBP (12.3 ± 4.1 mmHg vs 5.2 ± 3.4 mmHg, p<0.001) compared to Group B. Quality of life scores improved significantly in the homoeopathy group (p<0.01). Thirty-three percent of patients in Group A successfully reduced conventional medication dosage under medical supervision, compared to 10% in Group B. Commonly prescribed remedies included Natrum muriaticum, Calcarea carbonica, Sulphur, Lycopodium, and Phosphorus based on individualized symptomatology. Conclusion: Individualized homoeopathic medicine as adjunct therapy significantly enhances blood pressure control and quality of life in patients receiving routine antihypertensive drugs. This integrative approach may offer a safe and effective complementary strategy for comprehensive hypertension management.
