Concept of Primary Health Care

2012-06-13T13:27:00.001+06:00

Definition of PHC (Alma – Ata declaration)

The concept of ‘Primary health care’ was adopted at an International Conference in 1978 at alma Ata in the then USSR, which was jointly sponsored and organized by WHO and UNICEF. In its declaration, popularly known as “The Alma Ata Declaration”, the International Conference defined primary health care as follows:

“Essential health care based on practical, scientifically sound and socially acceptable methods and technology made universally accessible to individuals and families in the community through their full participation and at a cost that the community and the country can afford to maintain at every stage of their development in the spirit of self - determination”

Elements of primary health care (PHC)

E = Education about health problems and their control.

L = Local disease control

E = EPI (Expanded programme on immunization)

M = MCH based family planning

E = Essential drugs provision.

N = Nutrition

T = Treatment of common diseases

S = Sanitation

Health for All by the Year 2000 (HFA/2000)

Definition: The member countries of WHO defined HFA/2000 as – “attainment by all the people of the world by the year 2000 AD of a level of health that will permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life.”

Global Indicator of HFA/2000

The WHO has established 12 global indicators as the basic point of reference for assessing the progress towards HFA. These are:

1. Endorsement of HFA strategy as a policy at the highest political level.

2. Establishment of a mechanism for the involvement of people in implementing the strategies.

3. At least 5% of GNP is to be spent on health.

4. Allocation of reasonable percentage of national health expenditure to be devoted to local health care, i.e., at the level of first contact with health services, like health centre care and not secondary level hospital care.

5. Equitable distribution of health resources in terms of facilities and manpower as well as geographically (urban, rural) groups of population wise e.g. , women, children.

6. Formulation and updating of national strategies and explicit resources allocation in support of implementation through mobilization of internal and external resources.

7. Availability of primary health care to the entire population with at least the following:

(i) Safe water at home or within 15 minutes walking distance and adequate sanitary facilities at home or in the immediate vicinity.

(ii) Immunization against EPI target diseases e.g., diphtheria, whooping cough, measles poliomyelitis and tuberculosis.

(iii) Local health care including availability of at least 20 essential drugs within an hour’s travel or walk.

(iv) Antenatal care and child birth as well as caring of children up to at least 1 year of age by trained health personnel.

8. Nutritional status of children:

(i) At least 90% of newborn have birth weight of at least 2500gm.

(ii) At least of 90% of children have a weight for age that correspond to the standard prescribe by WHO.

9. Infant mortality rate of all identifiable subgroups is below 50 per 1000 live births

10. Life expectancy at birth is over 60 years.

11. Adult literacy rate for both sexes exceeds 70%.

12. The GNP per capita exceeds US $ 500.

CONCEPT OF HEALTH CARE

2012-06-13T13:17:00.002+06:00

Definition of health care:

A multitude of services provided to individuals, families or communities by agents of the health services or professions, for the purpose of promoting, maintaining, monitoring, or restoring health.

Levels of Health Care

1. Primary health care: Upazilla Health Complex, Union health sub centers and community clinics.

2. Secondary health care: In Bangladesh, this kind of care is provided at districts hospitals.

3. Tertiary health care: This level is a more specialized level, provided by the regional medical Hospitals.

4. Super – Specialized care: It is the highest level of health care available at the national level institutions which are highly specialized. i.e. BSMMU hospital, Institute of cardiovascular diseases, BIRDEM hospital.

Sterilization and disinfection

2012-06-13T13:12:00.000+06:00

Sterilization and disinfection

Sterilizationis the process by which all viable microorganism including viruses, bacteriaand their spores are killed or eliminated. This is important in many fieldsparticularly in surgery and in microbiological works. There are three mainmethods of sterilization:

Physical
Chemical and
Filtration

Disinfectionis the killing of many but not all microorganisms. For adequate disinfection,pathogens must be killed but some organisms and bacterial spores may survive.

Differencebetween sterilization and disinfection:

Traits	Sterilization	Disinfection
Definition	Sterilization is the process by which all viable microorganism including viruses, bacteria and their spores are killed or eliminated.	Disinfection is the killing of many but not all microorganisms.

History of Homeopathy

2010-12-14T19:45:00.000+06:00

From its founding by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann,
through the founding of the first U.S. school
and up to the present day
The Founder of Homeopathy
Homeopathy's roots emerge from the findings, teachings and writings of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). Hahnemann graduated from medical school in 1779 and started his own medical practice. He soon began his first homeopathic experiments in 1790, as a result of his disillusionment with such common medical practices of the day as purging, bloodletting, and the use of toxic chemicals.

At one point, he gave up his own daily practice to begin working as a chemist while translating medical texts. It was when Hahnemann began working on a project to translate William Cullen's Materia Medica into German that he began his quest for a better way of providing healthcare using the principles of "Similars." While working on this project, he became fascinated with a species of South American tree-bark (cinchona) which was being used to treat malaria-induced fever. Hahnemann ingested the bark and discovered that it caused symptoms similar to malaria. He continued his research into "cures" and the idea of "similar suffering," and began compiling his findings. Similia similibus curentur, the Latin phrase meaning "let likes be cured by likes," is the primary principle of homeopathy. A homeopath searches for a substance that produces in a healthy person those same symptoms a patient experiences.

What is homeopathy

2010-12-14T19:41:00.001+06:00

Homeopathy (also spelled homoeopathy) is a form of alternative medicine, first proposed by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1796, Homeopathy is the treatment of disease with a highly diluted substance that is able to provoke similar signs and symptoms in a healthy body (treatment by similars).It’s a branch of medicine based on the principle that "like cures like".

Homeopathy is a system for the treatment of illness that is based both on the recognition of patterns within the symptoms of the illness and a wider consideration of how the individual is as a person. Click here to read details.

Samuel Hahnemann (1755 - 1843)

2010-12-14T19:18:00.001+06:00

Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homoeopathy, was born in Meissen, Saxony in Germany on 10th April 1755 to an impoverished middle-class family. He was taught to read and write by both parents and was an avid learner even in his early years. He became proficient at languages and even by the age of twelve was sufficiently accomplished in Greek and Latin that he was given the task of tutoring other children in these. His linguistic repertoire expanded through his adolescence so that by the age of twenty he had mastered English, French, Italian, Latin and Greek, and was able to make a living at the University of Leipzig as a translator and teacher in languages. He subsequently added to these, Arabic, Syriac, Chaldaic and Hebrew. He also trained in sciences, was a member of various scientific societies and was honoured especially for his researches in chemistry. Other fields of expertise included botany, astronomy and meteorology. Hahnemann undertook the study of medicine in Leipzig and Vienna, qualifying with honours in 1779.

He started practice as a doctor in 1781 and shortly afterwards married Johanna Henriette Kuchler, with whom he had 11 children.

Hahnemann took his calling as a medical healer seriously and applied himself conscientiously to his profession. In these early years as a doctor, using the medicines and techniques available to the profession at the time, he found to his dismay that he was not only not achieving a healing response in many of his patients, but in some cases causing greater damage to the health of the patient through the toxic effects of some of the medicines, than the disease, if left untreated, would have caused.

This tragic fact made such a profound moral impression on him, that he felt compelled to withdraw from the profession in order to not contribute to the harm being committed to humanity in the name of medicine.

My sense of duty would not easily allow me to treat the unknown pathological state of my suffering brethren with these unknown medicines. The thought of becoming in this way a murderer or malefactor towards the life of my fellow human beings was most terrible to me, so terrible and disturbing that I wholly gave up my practice in the first years of my married life and occupied myself solely with chemistry and writing.

Hahnemann then resorted to making a living from writing and translation. It was while undertaking the translation of a particular medical text, A Treatise on the Material Medica by the Scottish physician William Cullen, that he was first prompted to examine the medicinal effects of substances ‘under a different light.’ In this medical text he read the claim that the drug, cinchona (Peruvian Bark), was effective in treating the symptoms of malaria because it was a bitter astringent and had a tonic effect on the stomach.

Hahnemann rejected this claim outright as it suggests that other drugs which had these characteristics should have a beneficial effect on malarial states, which they don’t. In order to establish exactly what effects cinchona did have on the human organism he decided to take the drug himself. He began to administer doses of cinchona to himself over a short period of time and discovered that this bark actually created malaria-like symptoms in a healthy individual. Hahnemann reasoned that it was the similarity of symptoms that somehow produced the healing effect. This prompted the postulation of the first principle of homoeopathy: “like cures like.” Or stated more completely: That which can produce a set of symptoms in a healthy individual, can treat a sick individual who is manifesting a similar set of symptoms.

He coined the name “homoeopathy” to describe this approach to healing, deriving it from the Greek: homos (same) + pathos (suffering).

He went on to test other substances, accurately documenting for each its particular “symptom picture.”

This, however, still left the barrier of toxicity. Many substances which produced symptoms also produced toxicity in the body unless they were diluted to such a degree that they not only lost their toxicity but also their ability to produce, and therefore to cure, symptoms. Hahnemann experimented variously with this problem and discovered a curious phenomenon which had not been known before. Whereas simple dilution of a substance, in water for example, weakened the power of a substance to produce an effect, the act of diluting in steps (each step could be, for example, diluting 1 in 10) and vigorously shaking or impacting the mixing vessel after each step, resulted in a substance which still produced symptom effects on a healthy person, and curative effects on a sick person. This phenomenon was evident even when the dilution and impacting (called succussion) was continued to the point of leaving only immeasurably small amounts of original substance in the diluted solution.

This discovery opened the door to widespread testing of even the most toxic substances, including substances like Belladonna and Aconite – both highly poisonous; and after developing a means of bringing insoluble substances, like mercury or gold, into attenuated states using trituration, there was very little that could not safely be tested and therefore safely and effectively administered to patients. The testing procedure in homoeopathic parlance is called “proving.” (The original meaning of the word “prove” is “to test.” Like many words its meaning became altered in time through popular misuse.)

Hahnemann resumed his practice using to full effect his newfound approach to the art of healing. He soon attracted many followers among the physicians of his day and the new science started to spread through Europe and abroad. A homoeopathic medical movement was started which eventually spread throughout the Europe and North America and also eastward into Asia, and especially India.

Hahnemann’s provings expanded from the original tests done on himself to tests done on numbers of people in order to establish the common and striking symptoms, as well as the more subtle and peculiar effects of each drug. These detailed symptom pictures have been collected and catalogued into what is considered the homoeopath’s bible: the Homoeopathic Materia Medica. From a thorough knowledge of the materia medica, the homoeopath is able to select the homoeopathic medicine (called a remedy) which most closely matches the sum and essence of the patient’s symptoms. It is the ability to find this match that is the “art” of homoeopathy, and Hahnemann was the original master of this art (though many have been produced since his time.)

In 1810, Hahnemann published the fruits of his labours in a systematic treatise called The Organon of the Medical Art. This publication laid out the original principles and practices of homoeopathy for the benefit of other physicians and for mankind in general. Early in the text he describes and defines the goal of physician: “The highest ideal of therapy is to restore health rapidly, gently, permanently; to remove and destroy the whole disease in the shortest, surest, least harmful way, according to clearly comprehensible principles.” The remainder of the book sets out how this ideal can be realized using homoeopathic principles.

He continued throughout his long career to refine and improve the practice of remedy making, proving and prescribing, still following the fundamental principles of his original discovery, and in the course of his life, produced five further editions of the Organon.

After a long career as a medical practitioner, researcher, writer and lecturer, Hahnemann died in 1843 at the age of 88 in Paris, after having completed his 6th and final edition of the Organon, referring to it in a letter to his publisher as his “most nearly perfect work.”

The fruits of Hahnemann’s genius continue to benefit us today in ever increasing measure as the efficacy and safety of homoeopathy in the treatment of countless disease states becomes evident to more and more people.

The tradition of trained and qualified medical doctors taking up homoeopathic study in addition to their regular training continues in many countries, while many who are not doctors can also train in the study and practice of homoeopathy, either to a professional or home-use level.

Its use has been expanded into veterinary practice as well where it is routinely applied successfully to pets as well as to agricultural animals.

In the UK there are several training colleges that offer training to a professional standard, and there are many groups and institutions that offer first-aid/home use courses.

In addition, there is a vast range of books on the market encompassing every aspect of homoeopathy, a small selection of which is available through this site.

1. What is cell and tissue?

Answer:
Cell:
The cells come from the latin word “cella” which means a chamber. The living matters are composed of so many structural units or chambers.

Or,
Cell is a microscopic unit of living matter, which is a mass of protoplasm containing a nucleus or nuclear material.

Or
Cell is fundamental structure and functional unit of biological structure and physical of unit of life.

Tissue:
It comes from latin word “texera” which means to weave.

A tissue is a collection of similar type of cell and associated intracellular substance that specialized in a common direction and performing a definite function.

Example:
 Muscular tissue
 Nervous tissue
 Epithelial tissue
 Connective tissue

2. What is biochemistry?

Answer:
Bio-chemistry comes from two Greck words “Bio and chemia”
“Bio” means life and “chemia” means chemistry.
In short Bio-chemistry is the chemistry of living of organism. It deals with composition of atomic and molecular structure and also function of plant and animal.

In broad, Bio-chemistry is the science dealing with the mojlecular and atomic structure of living matter and the composition of substance their formation composition and the various transformation and the many undergo.

According to GM ORTEN AND O.W NEUHAUS Bio-chemistry in broad terms is the study of chemical composition of living matter and bio-chemical process that undergoing life activity during growth and maintains.

3. Write down the composition and process of tissue remedy?

Answer:
Bio-chemical composition of tissue remedy:
Bio-chemical compositions of living matter are as follows:

1. Water: About 75% -80% of by body weight of animal tissue are water except bone teeth.

2. Organic constituent: two groups
a. Nitrogenous compound
b. Non nitrogenous compound
a. Nitrogenous: Urea, uric acid, amino acid etc.
b. Non-nitrogenous: protein 75%, serum albumin, serum globulin, fibrinogen, prothrombin etc.

Others—carbohydrate, fat, hormone, enzyme, etc.

Inorganic constituents:
1) Inorganic salt

2) Elements ions-
I. Anions
II. Cations

3) Bulk elements

4) Trace elements

1. Inorganic salt: NaCl, KCl, CaCO3, About 1% of total body weight of soft tissue is inorganic salt.

2. Elements ions: Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, NH4+, Cl-, hco3-, so4-, HPO4-, HPO3-.

3. Bulk elements: Carbon(c) , H2, O2, N2, S, P, etc.

4. Trace elements: F++, I2, CU, Zu, Mn, As, Ag, Br, Bi, Pb, Al, Ni, Be, Hg, Mg etc.

Gases: O2, Co2, N2, and trace of other gases.

Bio-chemical process:
Biochemical process of living organism is an essential part of biochemistry. It deals with the following aspect of chemistry.

Description:-

 Photo chemistry: It is directly involved with photo synthesis and physical chemistry of osmosis

 Catalysis: it is an important chemical mechanism that directly applied to living organism. It takes place in the bio-chemical system by the agency of enzyme hormone.
Example: ptyaline.

 Mechanism of genetic control: It deals with nuclic acid and protein constituent and behaviour.

 Colloid chemistry: It deals with nature of cell walls nucleus, collagen etc.

 Acid base regulation: It involves in the pH of body fluids such nutritional components, as amino acids, fats, carbohydrates minerals, lipid, vitamins, are essential to life.

 Chemical organism and reproductive behaviour of micro organism: it is seen in the bacteria and virus wich carry chemical components and sometimes insuitable condition.

 Agricultural chemistry: It large part of chemistry which deals with bio-chemical process of plants.

Particularly, the above process actively deals with nucleic acid cell surface, cell membrane, enzymology, peptide hormone, molecular-biology and re-comband DNA.

4. Method of Schussler biochemic tissue remedy
Answer:
Two kinds of substances are needed in the process of tissue building of the body both are found in the blood, namely organic and inorganic.

The bio-chemic therapeutic is based on the physiological fact. That is both the structure and vitality of the organs of the body are depended upon contain necessary quantities and proper distribution of its constituents.

These remain after the burning process of the tissue and form the ashes.

The inorganic constituents are in every real sense. These material basis of the organs and tissue of the body. According to Dr. Schussler 12 inorganic tissue salts are presents in our body. These are natural body basis of tissue of the body although they are present in small quantity. They are absolutely essential to their integrity of structure and functional activity.

According to Dr. Schussler’s theory any disturbance in the molecular nation of tissue salts in the living tissues caused by a deficiency in the requsite amount constitute disease. These rectified and the equilibrium, re-established by adminis tering the tissue salts, which will be –
I. Homogenous to the body tissue salts.
II. Chemically pure tissue salts.
III. Physically and chemically closely related tissue salts.
IV. Potentised from.
V. Prover and
VI. Minute dose.
This is supposed to the broad about by virtue of the operation of chemical this 12 inorganic tissue remedies can rectify deficiency and recovered patients and can cure all the disease. These phenomena are well known as Dr. Schussler Bio-chemistry of theory of Dr. Schussler’s Bio-chemic method.

5. Historical background of tissue remedy

Answer:
SAMUEL HAHNEMANN, whose genius divined the great importance of the inorganic cell salts as remedial agents of a high order, was the first who began thorough investigation into their pathogenetic effects and therapeutic uses. It was his proving of Lime and Salt and Potash and Silica that prepared the way for the rest of the Tissue Remedies, that showed what vast store-houses of medicinal force these inorganic substances are, although apparently inert in their crude state. It was he, who first pointed out how these forces could be unlocked and directed for therapeutic purposes. Later, in 1832, attention was called in a paper published in Stapf’s Archiv to the great importance as remedies of all the “essential component parts of the human body”, and again, in the same journal, in 1846: “All constituents of the human body principally act on those organs wherein they have a function. All fulfill their functions when they are the cause of symptoms.” This from the pen of that remarkable genius in the field of Materia Medica – Constantine Hering.
Later still, we find Grauvogl, in his Text-Book, taking some notice of these remarks and amplifying them; but it remained for Dr. Schussler, of Oldenburg, Germany, to develop these suggestions and make the idea foreshadowed in them the basis of, a “new system”. In March, 1873, an article, entitled “An Abridged Homeopathic Therapeutics”, from his pen, was published in a German Homeopathic journal, in which he says: “About a year ago I endeavored to discover by experiments on the sick if it were not possible to heal them, provided their diseases were curable at all, with those substances that are the natural, i. e., the physiological function-remedies.”. Of this no special notice seems to have been taken, until, five months subsequently, Dr. Lorbacher, of Leipzig, came out in the same journal with some critical considerations of it.
This was followed by a reply from Schussler, which ran through seven numbers, giving a more detailed account of this “Abridged System of Homeopathic Therapeutics,” the important features of which are incorporated in this work.
The original communication from Schussler to the German medical journal was translated into English, and published first in the Medical Investigator, May, 1873, and soon afterwards in a small work, by Dr. C. Hering, entitled the “Twelve Tissue Remedies,” “recommended for investigation” by this great teacher of our school. Several editions were published in rapid succession, from which this historical sketch is mainly derived, and following these appeared the translation of the twelfth German edition, by J. T. O’Connor, M. D., and one by M. Docetti Walker, considerably enlarged by the addition of an appendix popularizing the Biochemic Method. Dr. Schussler, previous to his death, which occurred early in 1898, published the 25th German edition, in which the application of several of the remedies has been greatly enlarged and considerable new matter added, all of which is incorporated in this work. This edition has been translated into English.

Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler was a German physician, who followed a slightly different, but simpler version of Homeopathy. He believed disease in man was caused due to deficiency of twelve basic salts. Take them and cure follows. The so-called twelve tissue salts of Schuessler are the following. Also mentioned later in the article is the usefulness of each of the salt.
The " Homeopathic" system of the Cell Salt remedies was developed by Dr.Schuessler a German doctor in the late 1880's. He analyzed the ash residue of human cells and found 12 inorganic mineral salts. He theorized that these 12 elements are critical to balancing cellular activity and health and made 12 homeopathic remedies in low potency in order to be assimilated rapidly and easily. The remedies have been used by millions of people for over 120 years worldwide. They have proven to be helpful in balancing many conditions in the body. Many of these remedies are the most important in homeopathic practice worldwide. The strong point of using the cell salts is building up the constitutional health of a person over long period of time. They are used to rebuild the organs and tissues.
The cell salts are equilibrium remedies; they are used to balance excess and deficiency. They remove excess as well as help with deficiencies. Cell salts work well with herbs and with vitamin and mineral supplements.
The cell salts are also great for people of any age. The two groups of people who benefit the most from using the cell salts are children between the ages of 0 - 3 a period when there is rapid growth in children. In children you can really build them up especially during growth. During growth periods you can use them for extended periods of time giving them daily for 1 to 2 years at a time. The elderly benefit because they are gentle, yet helps to nourish and to balance deficiency. For the elderly and children it is a way of doing homeopathy nutritionally. 6X is = to 1 part per million. 12X is one part per billion. Homeopathy raises the vital force, the cell salts rebuild. Homeopathy has a bigger range of action especially psychologically. The tissue salts have a narrower range but rebuild. In a way the cell salts are the "vitamins & minerals" of homeopathy. When a homeopathic remedy relapses, the cell salts come in and stabilizes it. You can take a Cell Salt remedy for 6 months to a year for supporting a chronic problem.
Dosing: Remedies are taken generally 4 tablets 4X a day but they can be used acutely much more frequently, for example Mag Phos is one of the best remedies for hiccups and can be taken every 5 minutes as needed. You can be very flexible with the doses depending on the circumstances.
The cell salts are broken into 5 groups. The biggest groups of cell salts by far are the calcium group. Calcium cell salts are frequently our true constitutional remedies. Calcium Carbonate i.e. Calc Carb is the biggest single remedy used in homeopathy.

1) Calcium group Calc Flor, Calc Phos, Calc Sulph
2) Sodium group Nat Mur, Nat Phos, Nat Sulph
3) Kali group (Potassium group) Kali Mur, Kali Phos, Kali Sulph,
4) Magnesium group Mag Phos
5) Ferrum (Iron) Ferrum Phos
6) Silica or Silicea

Sodium, Potassium, and Calcium are in 9 of the 12 remedies. Sulphur is in 3 remedies.

An example of the connection between the cell salts and homeopathic remedies is colocynth is a plant that is highest in the mineral magnesium. Its biggest symptom keynote is severe abdominal or pelvic pain. They bend over double and deep pressure feels better. The cell salt Mag Phos is the complementary remedy but they like a hot water bottle placed over the point of pain. These are both used for basically the same health problem but with a variation. Pulsatilla has the same relationship to Kali Sulph, so it has a similar symptom picture so Kali Sulph can be considered the cell salt equivalent of it.
Notwithstanding that Dr. Schussler denies in the later editions of his work all connection with Homeopathy, and insists that his method is not based upon the homeopathic law of cure, but upon physiologico-chemical processes that take place within the organism, it is nevertheless true that the present wide adoption of the Tissue Remedies in the treatment of disease is the fruit of the seed sown on homeopathic ground as early as 1832, although its development was slow until Schussler gave it a wonderful impetus by bringing physiologilcal chemistry and physiological and pathological facts to bear on his therapeutic procedure

6. Difference between general bio-chemic and Schussler biochemic remedy.

Answer:
The difference between general bio-chemistry and Dr. Schussler bio-chemistry are given bellow:
Points General bio-chemistry Dr. Schussler’s biochemistry
Parts It is a part of the general chemistry. It is a part of the general bio-chemistry.
Time It is relatively a young branch of science. It is relatively a young method of medical science.
