This article aims to provide a brief overview of the evidence and mechanisms for psilocybin use in EOL care. Additionally, this article will provide guidelines for clinicians to assess patient use and integrate psilocybin into their clinical practice with respect to its current legal status.

Folinic Acid For Impaired Folate Metabolism To Improve Communication Deficits In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cheri L. Collins

Lynchburg Journal of Medical Science

The purpose of this review is to evaluate the efficacy of folinic acid supplementation in addressing communication deficits in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is characterized by persistent deficiency in social communication and interaction, accompanied by restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior. Communication impairments are a core challenge in ASD and remain difficult to treat. Although there is no confirmed etiology, emerging evidence suggests that a subset of children with ASD may have underlying abnormalities in folate metabolism. Folate receptor alpha autoantibodies (FRAAs) are immunoglobulins that interfere with folate metabolism. When present, they can disrupt the transfer of …

The Science Of Sound: Studying The Cognitive, Emotional, And Physiological Effects Of Frequency, Genre, And Music, Jett Yarborough

Senior Honors Theses

Music influences emotion, physiology, and cognition, yet little is known about how the frequency it is tuned to affects these influences. Prior research has shown that music tuned to 432 Hz can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep. My colleagues and I conducted two studies to investigate this. Our research found that music tuned to 432 Hz promotes a significant increase in memory retention and induces a state of focus and relaxation. These results suggest that shifting from the standard tuning frequency of 440 Hz to 432 Hz could have a profoundly positive impact on our daily lives. …

Postsurgical Pain, Psychosocial Functioning, And Cannabis Use Among Adolescents And Young Adults Undergoing Gender Affirming Surgery, Eleanor Battison, Emily A. Kenyon, Corrin Murphy, Eline Lenne, Danielle N. Moyer, Sarah W. Feldstein Ewing, Anna C. Wilson

School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Presentations

Purpose: Little is known about transgender and gender expansive (TGE) adolescents and young adults (AYAs) pain and psychosocial experiences in the acute postsurgical period following gender-affirming surgery (GAS). This study describes pain symptomatology and psychosocial functioning within 1 month after GAS among TGE AYAs, examines immediate postsurgical associations of cannabis use with pain symptomatology, pain catastrophizing, and psychosocial functioning, and explores pain persistence, cannabis use, and psychosocial functioning in a subgroup of individuals 6 months after surgery.

Methods: AYAs (N = 64) underwent GAS at a large academic medical center in the Pacific Northwest between March 2019 and June …

Unravelling Susceptibility In Modern Times: The Validation Of Stuart Close, Kumar M. Dhawale

Dastagiri, Pritha Mehra, Hima Bindu Ponnam, Sunil Bhalinge, Rahul Suryavanshi, Sudha Dharmarajan, Parthasarathi Chakraborty, Pooja Kumari, Priyanka Nim, Subhash Kaushik

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Background: The homoeopathic philosophy identifies susceptibility as a key concept for prescribing a similimum, i.e., the indicated remedy and its potency. No validated instrument to measure susceptibility as high, medium or low could be identified in the literature. Objective: The present study was undertaken to identify the factors governing susceptibility assessment and to develop a simple tool for physicians to assess the susceptibility of the cases they see in their clinical practice. Material and Methods: A new questionnaire was developed using standardised procedures including item development, pilot testing, and psychometric evaluation. The psychometric properties of this pilot tool were assessed …

Homoeopathic Pathogenetic Trial Of Blatta Orientalis: A Multicentric, Double Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Trial, Pritha Mehra, A. K. Vichitra, Amulya R. Sahoo, B S J Rajakumar, Bhopal S. Arya, Karuna Karuna, Ritika Singhal, Anil Khurana, R. K. Manchanda

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Background: The therapeutic effect of Blatta orientalis in asthma was found accidentally, but apart from the respiratory symptoms, not much is known about this as a drug through proving in Homoeopathy. Thus, homoeopathic drug proving was carried out, which is the first step in finding pathogenetic effect of the drug substance, for suggestive use in a clinical setting. Objective: To elicit the pathogenetic response of Blatta orientalis on healthy human provers. Methods: A multicentre, randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted at three centres under Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy. The trial was conducted on 47 apparently healthy provers …

Investigation Of The Physicochemical Behaviour Of Acidum Citricum Homoeopathic Dilutions At Temperatures From 293.15 K To 318.15 K By Using Volumetric, Acoustic And Viscometric Methods, Anil Kumar Nain, Neha Chaudhary, Raj Kumar Manchanda, Debadatta Nayak

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Background: The physicochemical properties of homoeopathic medicines have been gaining importance in elucidating the physicochemical behaviour (interactions) and, hence in establishing the presence of medicine at ultra-high dilutions. Objective: The present study is aimed to reconnoiter the existence of drug in ultra-diluted medicines and evidence regarding the physicochemical behaviour and prevailing interactions in the dilutions of Acidum citricum. Materials and Methods: The densities (ρ), ultrasonic speeds (u) and viscosities (η) of pure ethanol control (91% ethanol in water) and 33 dilutions of Acidum citricum of potencies across 1C to 200C at temperatures from …

Evaluation Of Oral Administration Of Calendula Officinalis Among The Centesimal Potencies In Acute Wound Healing In Male Wistar Rats, A Vincer George, Ramadas Naik, Punchappady Devasya Rekha, Melita Alva, Vivek Ramakrishnan, Suprith Surya, Ranajit Das

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Background: Calendula officinalis (Calendula) is used in Homoeopathy to treat various wounds. The presence of bioactive compounds results in pharmacological properties like wound healing, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties. Hence, clinicians use different centesimal potencies (6C, 30C, 200C) to heal wounds. Objective: To compare the wound-healing potential of Calendula dilutions (6C, 30C, 200C) through oral administration in a pre-clinical acute wound model. Materials and Methods: The study involved administering Calendula centesimal potencies (6C, 30C, 200C) orally. Male wistar rats aged eight to ten weeks were involved in the experiment. Every animal had full-thickness excisional wound created on its back …

A Case Report On Multiple Renal Calculi And Bilateral Ovarian Cysts Treated With Homoeopathic Medicine Ignatia Amara, Pragya Sharma

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

Introduction: Renal calculi are the most frequent urological illness. It can be caused by genetic, nutritional, or environmental factors. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled structures which can be simple or complex. It can affect females of any age, whether during puberty or menopause. These disorders remain a medical challenge due to their complex aetiology and high incidence. Sometimes the symptoms grow so severe for the patient that treatment and time lost from work involve substantial costs, compromising their social, physical, psychological, and financial well-being. Case summary: This is a case report of a 38-year-old female having sharp cutting pain in lumbar …
