25
What symptoms, in chronic dermatology pathology, make you think of a Psoric reactional mode?
Dermatosis that are cyclical, periodical or that alternate with internal allergic pathologies (hay fever, asthma..) We find this evolution in allergic affections, atopic dermatitis, recurring viral diseases (herpes). The pruritis of this reactional mode is mostly burning, aggravated by heat and water, improved by cold
26
What symptoms, in chronic dermatology pathology, make you think of a Sycotic reactional mode?
Constructive dermatosis slow and continuous in nature, without any remission phase and appearing often after a vaccination or any injection of foreign protein. Atomospheric or food pollution is also part of the indications of the Sycotic reactional mode.
27
In a classic clinical observation of a patient presenting with chronic disease, what are the elements letting you determine the Psoric reactional mode?
-Family history: Allergies
- Personal hx: Allergies, recurring pathologies (migraine, herpes, fungus)
- The description of the evolution of the disorders: Periodical, recurring
- The description of the acute episodes: the acute characteristic, the lack of reaction to treatment, the long and difficult convalescence
- The general interview: Notions of diverse pathologies alternating between themselves or with episodes of fatigue and anxiety
-
28
In a classic clinical observation of a patient presenting with a chronic disease, what are the elements letting you determine the Sycotic reactional mode?
- The family history: Nothing specific
- The personal hx: episodes of recurring infections, long treatments, disturbances of the immune system, important stress
- The description of the evolution of the disorders:P continues with a slow and progressive installation
- The description of the acute episode: A chronic catarrh, a benign tumor, tissue infiltration
- The general interview: other elements of sycosis, infiltrations, nodule, cysts, a phobic or depressive tendency
- Clinical examinations: infiltration, weight gain, warts, cysts, etc
29
In a classic clinical observation of a patient presenting with a chronic disease, what are the elements letting you determine the medicines of the sensitive type?
- The personal history: often characteristic of the morbid tendencies
- The description of the evolution of the disorders: can evoke the symptoms of the medicine
- The general interview: this is the most important part of the observation that will find the morbid tendencies, the general reactions and the behavioral traits
30
Explain, in a few words, what "grading of the symptoms of a clinical observation" means:
We must, in each clinical case, make a complete observation without formulating an early judgement on the relative importance of each symptoms. Then, when we are to write the prescription, we must take in account of the symptoms that are the most specific, the most striking, due to the disease or to the reactions of the patient. We must be careful because what is the most precise can be different from observation to another: sometimes it can be the description of a lesion, of a sensation, of a modality, morbid tendencies, behavior or even history. Mental and behavioral symptoms are important but do not necessarily have priority.
31
Explain, in a few words the place of behavioral symptoms in the therapeutic decision
The behavioral symptoms can be the cause of the consultation, they can direct or confirm the choice of the sensitive type medicines. Mental and behavioral symptoms are important but do not necessarily have priority.
32
Explain, in a few words the difference between a neuro-sensorial symptoms and a behavioral one. Give examples
A neuro-sensorial symptom is a neurological one: trembling, palpitations, headaches, lump in throat, for example. It is close to a pathogenetic symptom of toxic origin and can be independent from the patient's sensitivity. Gelsemium or Ignatia can be prescribed to any patient presenting with their symptoms. A mental or behavioral symptoms, a modification or increase of an affect is due to the sensitivity of the patient. The prescription of the medicine depends on the totality of the clinical picture that must confirm the sensitivity ot the medicine.
33
What are the essential questions to ask to determine the Chronic Reactional Mode?
6
- All sectors of the clinical observation are important
- The family history
- The personal history and the study of recent events (ongoing treatments)
- The description of the evolution of the disorders
- The general interview
- Clinical examination, biological tests, X-rays, etc
34
What are the risks and limits of the notion of sensitive type?
To overshadow the precise description of lesions or sensations, which is regrettable in an acute pathology, to privilege morphological or psychological aspects with little objective elements
