“…Homeopathy has a long-standing history in the management of epidemic diseases. 19 In terms of the evidence base, homoeopathy trials have pursued the following: tested preventive homeopathic medicines, where the focus has been on finding an effective universal prophylactic medicine [20][21][22] ; or tested the efficacy of individualized homeopathic treatment for patients with the disease [23][24][25] ; or tested the adjunctive effectiveness of homeopathic treatment. 26,27 Testing one medicine as Genus Epidemicus (GE) does not appear to be appropriate for the present pandemic due to its kaleidoscopic manifestation; nor has a potential GE been discerned.…”

Objective The aim of the study was to identify indicated homeopathic remedies based on the clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in India. Methods In this retrospective, cohort study, confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted at a COVID Health Centre in New Delhi between April 29 and June 17, 2020 were given conventional and homeopathic treatment. Patients were grouped into mild, moderate or severe categories of disease. Their symptomatologic profiles were analyzed to identify indicated homeopathic medicines. Results A total of 196 COVID-19 patients were admitted. One hundred and seventy-eight patients had mild symptoms; eighteen patients had moderate symptoms; no patients with severe symptoms were included as they were referred to tertiary care centers with ventilatory support. The mean age of patients with mild symptoms was significantly lower (38.6 years; standard deviation or SD ± 15.8) compared with patients in the moderate category (66.0 years; SD ± 9.09). The most important symptoms identified were fever (43.4%), cough (47.4%), sore throat (29.6%), headache (18.4%), myalgia (17.9%), fatigue (16.8%), chest discomfort (13.8%), chills (12.6%), shortness of breath (11.2%) and loss of taste (10.2%). Twenty-eight homeopathic medicines were prescribed, the most frequently indicated being Bryonia alba (33.3%), Arsenicum album (18.1%), Pulsatilla nigricans (13.8%), Nux vomica (8%), Rhus toxicodendron (7.2%) and Gelsemium sempervirens (5.8%), in 30C potency. Conclusion Data from the current study reveal that Arsenicum album, Bryonia alba, Pulsatilla nigricans, Nux vomica, Rhus toxicodendron and Gelsemium sempervirens are the most frequently indicated homeopathic medicines. A randomized controlled clinical trial based on this finding is the next step.

Estado Do Conhecimento Da Fauna De Invertebrados Não-Marinhos Da Ilha Grande (Angra Dos Reis, Rj)

RESUMOA Ilha Grande, situada ao sul do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, possui importantes remanescentes de Floresta Atlântica. Entretanto, o conhecimento sobre sua fauna de invertebrados não-marinhos ainda é restrito, tanto em abrangência de grupos taxonômicos como em áreas geográficas. Devido à importância de inventários de biodiversidade para a conservação e tendo em vista a falta de informação organizada sobre os registros disponíveis, elaboramos uma lista dos táxons citados e suas respectivas localidades, utilizando dados primários de projetos em andamento e as fontes bibliográficas disponíveis. O resultado consiste em uma lista com 465 táxons de invertebrados não-marinhos, a grande maioria do Filo Arthropoda (72,9%) seguido do filo Mollusca (22,15%). Dos táxons citados 27,2% estão na categoria específica e 60% na categoria gênero. A análise dos dados mostrou que houve um incremento de informação a partir de 1999, e que essa informação está concentrada no entorno da Vila Dois Rios. Os resultados apresentados demonstram a necessidade de realização de inventários de fauna, com ampliação dos grupos taxonômicos e das áreas estudadas, no sentido de completar as imensas lacunas detectadas. Palavras-chave: Banco de dados; diversidade; Floresta Atlântica; lista faunística; Rio de Janeiro. ABSTRACT CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE NON-MARINE INVERTEBRATES FAUNA OF ILHA GRANDE (ANGRA DOS REIS, RJ). Ilha Grande, a continental island located at Southern of Rio deJaneiro state, has important remnants of Atlantic Rainforest. However, the knowledge of the non-marine invertebrate fauna is not sufficiently well known, concerning not only taxonomic groups but also geographic areas. Considering the relevance of biodiversity inventories to conservation, allied to the absence of organized information about the existing data, we prepared a taxonomic list of the non-marine invertebrates reported to Ilha Grande, including distributional data, based on primary data of ongoing research projects and literature. The list is composed of 465 taxa of non-marine invertebrates, mainly Arthropoda (72.9%), followed by Mollusca (22.15%). Among cited taxa 25.52% are in the species category and 60% are in the genus category. The data analysis revealed an information increase since 1999 and that this information are concentrated at Vila Dois Rios region. Results show the need for improving Ilha Grande faunistic inventories, focusing taxonomic groups and areas, in order to fill the huge existing gaps.
