Thelevel of BNP in the blood increases when heart failuresymptoms worsen, and decreases when the heart failurecondition is stable. The BNP level in a person with heartfailure - even someone whose condition is stable - ishigher than in a person with normal heart function.BNP levels below 100 pg/mL indicate no heart failureBNP levels of 100-300 suggest heart failure is presentBNP levels above 300 pg/mL indicate mild heart failureBNP levels above 600 pg/mL indicate moderate heartfailure.BNP levels above 900 pg/mL indicate severe heart failure.INDIAN BOOKS &PERIODICALSSYNDICATEB-5/62, Dev Nagar, Pyare LalRoad, Karol Bagh,NewDelhi - 110 005.Phone: 0091 11 25725444Fax: 0091 11 25766699email:ibps.homoeopathy@gmail.comSSUE 49 PAGE 3

SymptomatologyThe true Totality, therefore, is a Work of Art,formed by the mind of the artist from the crudematerials at his command, which are derived froma proving or from a clinical examination of thepatient.It is important that these points should beunderstood, because, otherwise, there is liability toerr in several directions.1. Error may arise in placing too much emphasisupon a single symptom or perhaps actuallyprescribing on a single symptom as manythoughtlessly do.2. Error may arise in attempting to fit a remedy toa mass of indefinite, unrelated or fragmentarysymptoms by a mechanical comparison ofsymptom with symptom, by which the prescriberbecomes a mere superficial ''symptom coverer."3. Failing in both these ways the prescriber mayfall to the level of the so-called "pathologicalprescribers," who empirically base their treatmentupon a theoretical pathological diagnosis and endin prescribing unnecessary and injurious sedatives,stimulants, combination tablets, and other crudemixtures of common practice.Stuart closeNATIONAL WORKSHOP ONHOMOEOPATHY IN CARDIOLOGYatConstitution Club, Rafi Marg, New Delhi.onSATURDAY, 10 TH NOVEMBER, 2012Time : 9 am to 5 pmSESSION 1 : Diagnostic CardiologySESSION 2 : Interventions in cardiologySESSION 3 : Role of HomoeopathyTOKEN REGISTERATION : Rs 100 /-Contact : 9810545958, 9810377895, 9999187181Your responses…Dr. Anupam SethiWith regards, thank you for sending suchA valuable mail which is full ofknowledge with inspiration.

Irritable bowelsyndromeIrritable bowelsyndrome (IBS, or spastic colon) ) is a symptom-based diagnosischaracterized by chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating, and alteration of bowelhabits. As a functional bowel disorder, IBS has no known organic cause. Diarrhea orconstipation maypredominate, or they may alternate. A diagnosis ofIBS can now be madeon the basis of symptoms alone, in the absence of alarmfeaturessuch as age of onsetgreaterr than 50 years, weight loss, gross hematochezia, systemicsigns of infection orcolitis, or family history ofinflammatory bowel disease.Onset of IBS is more likely tooccur after an infection, a stressful lifeevent, or onset of maturity.Severalconditions may present as IBS including coeliac disease, fructose malabsorption,mild infections, parasitic infections like giardiasis, several inflammatory bowel diseases,bile acid malabsorption,functionalchronic constipation, small intestinal bacterialovergrowth, and chronic functional abdominalpain. In IBS, routineclinical tests yield noabnormalities, although the bowels may be more sensitive to certain stimuli, such asballooninsufflation testing. The exact cause of IBS is unknown. The most commontheoryis that IBS is a disorderof the interactionbetweenthe brain and thegastrointestinal tract, although there may also be abnormalitiesin the gutflora or theimmune system. The riskfactors are acute gastrointestinalinfectionn (six fold),youngage, prolonged fever, anxiety, and depression. Psychological factorsmay beimportantt in the etiology of IBS.IBS hasno effecton life expectancy.However, it is a source of chronic pain, fatigue, andother symptoms and contributes to work absenteeism. The high prevalencee of IBS andsignificant effectson qualityof life make IBS a disease witha high social cost.IBS can be classified aseither diarrhea-predominant alternating stool pattern (IBS-Aor pain-predominant.Severalmedical conditions, or comorbidities,which appear withgreater frequency in(IBS-D), constipation-predominant (IBS-C) or IBS withpatients diagnosed with IBS, are Headache, Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatiguesyndrome and Depression:Stresss relief, psychotherapy and alternative medicines are more effective astreatmentThe editorial boardDisclaimer: The opinions expressed in the articles published in the ‘Dreams e homoeo’ belong solely tothe authors.
