Abstract:

L’aparició de farmacoresistència bacteriana als antibiòtics convencionals és una situació d’alarma mundial. Aquest escenari ha obligat a implementar mesures com la millora de les pràctiques d’higiene o l’administració controlada d’antibiòtics per reduir el seu ús en totes les àrees en les que s’utilitzen comunament, inclosa la medicina humana i animal i la indústria animal de producció d’aliments . Totes aquestes mesures estan destinades a disminuir l’aparició i propagació de la resistència als antibiòtics entre els bacteris, però quan es tracta de combatre als bacteris que ja presenten una o

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the moral content of illness ontologies in different healing systems, in particular biomedicine and homeopathy. It was motivated by the wish to gain a greater understanding of the possible meaning and ethical significance underlying the increasing popularity of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in Western countries. CAM is an umbrella term for a diverse group of therapeutic approaches, indicating their marginalized status in relation to conventional, scientific medicine. However, despite their diversity most CAM share a common bond by subscribing to a holist

Abstract:

Clostridium sporogenes is part of a highly diverse group of Gram positive, spore forming, anaerobic bacteria. C. sporogenes can be used as a delivery vehicle for chemotherapeutics in cancer treatment due to the inactive spore form of C. sporogenes only germinating in the microenvironment of the hypoxic tumour. Cancer, despite large investment in treatment and diagnosis, still remains one of the leading causes of death in the world. As such, improvements on current treatments are necessary to improve patient prognosis. Utilising C. sporogenes could be a cheap and effective way to do this by uti

Abstract:

Background & Aim: Osteoarthritis (OA) sufferers frequently turn to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), of which the most common are acupuncture and homeopathy, to improve manageability of their condition. However, there is little extant evidence of effectiveness for these treatments for OA, particularly for homeopathy. One criticism of homeopathic studies is that treatment protocols do not reflect true homeopathy. The nature of true homeopathy is not documented in extant literature. In the current study a mixed methods approach was used to investigate the use of homeopathy for osteoa

Abstract:

Cancer is responsible for about 25% of deaths in developed countries and for 15% of all deaths worldwide. Cancer is a devastating disease and while there have been great advances in the development of anticancer drugs, off-target toxicity is a major limitation with conventional cancer chemotherapy. The consequence of this form of treatment results in the killing of healthy and rapidly-growing non-cancerous cells including cells in the bone marrow; hair follicles; and cells in the mouth, digestive tract, and reproductive system. In addition to these general effects, certain anticancer drugs can

Abstract:

M. Tech.<br>Cervical Facet Syndrome is a condition characterised by neck pain and decreased mobility of the cervical spine (Bovim et al., 1994). It is essentially the dysfunction of the posterior joints in the neck where muscle hypertonicity causes the ligaments to shorten (Gatterman, 1995). There is a high prevalence of Cervical Facet Syndrome in industrialised countries leading to a loss in productivity and costly expenditure in terms of treatment (Jordan et al., 1998). The aim of this research study was to assess the efficacy of treatment with injectables of the Anthroposophical medicine Di

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban Institute of Technology, 2007 ix, 153 leaves<br>Group analysis of homoeopathic remedies is a relatively new methodology, linking naturally related substances via their common symptomatology. At its very basic level of understanding, it is an attempt to identify a mechanism for understanding groups of related remedies according to the natural classification of various sources used in homoeopathic practice (Scholten, 1993). This not only offers new aspects to well known remedies, but illuminates the smaller, less well known remedies, r

Abstract:

Thesis (M.Tech.: Homoeopathy)-Dept. of Homoeopathy, Durban University of Technology, 2007 x, 95, [4] leaves, Annexures A-C<br>Until recently the most important method of studying homoeopathic remedies has been to look at each remedy separately and not in the context of a particular group to which it belongs. Group analysis, as defined by pioneering authors such as Sankaran (2002) and Scholten (1993), is an attempt to identify a mechanism for understanding groups of related remedies according to natural classification of the various sources used in homoeopathic practice.

Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for Master’s degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Department of Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2015.<br>Background Functional dyspepsia is a chronic pain/discomfort centred in the upper abdomen in the absence of any known structural cause. Epidemiological studies have shown that functional dyspepsia is a common complaint affecting all population groups that over time places considerable financial strain on public and private resources due to frequent doctors’ visits and expensive diagnostic procedures.

Abstract:

M.Tech .(Homoeopathy)<br>The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth rate of germinating Zea Mays seeds subject to the administration of homoeopathically potentised Carbo vegetabilis in the potencies 12CH, 13CH and 14CH. The purpose of the study is to help disprove the popular "placebo effect" explanation as to why homoeopathy works by showing that homoeopathic medicine can have a fundamental effect on a living organism and thereby lend credibility to homoeopathy as a science. This study is of value as previous botanical studies have not attempted to provide an explanation as to how homoe
