Respected Sir,
I am an ardent reader of your esteemed journal and have to request you to publish the e-mail ID along with the name of institute/author sending the articles for publication. This helps in faster communication when additional information on the subject matter is desired.
For example, in the article “Evaluation of Platelet count as a prognostic Indicator in early detection of Post Burn Septicaemia” appearing on July 2005; Vol. 47, Pg. 230, issue of your journal. I would like to know Why CRP (C Reactive Protein) was not included as an indicator. Being an acute phase reactant, it certainly merits the status as of “sensitive parameter” and would be better when monitored along with other parameters studied by the author. More over, quantitative CRP (on dedicated analysers) is more reliable than manual cell counts, not prone to diurnal variations and can even be estimated from capillary blood. Thus having another distinct advantage in cases of massive burns where getting a good venous blood specimen is itself difficult. |

Respected Sir,
We all come across children with foreign body in “Nose”. Most of the time it is easily seen with or without speculum and non impacted. We remove it with “vectis” or any other instrument or refer to ‘ENT’ specialist.
Such Non-impacted FB can very easily be removed by initiations (making) of sneezing by a non-irritant “Unani Medicine” called “Chhinkani”. This medicine is in powder form, totally non-irritant, used widely in common cold and headache, and hence easily available with all chemists. I had tried snuff and black pepper powder but many a times they don’t work. This “Chhinkani” definitely works and brings powderful bouts of sneezing and F.B. is expelled out.
So it is non-invasive method to remove the F.B. in Nose, totally safe, powder is totally non-toxic, and just to instal pinch of powder in both Nostrils and wait for 1 or 2 minutes. One can try him self as it is widely used in treatment of cold and headache.
And lastly a frightful child and parents will go smiling (of Course after they paid your fees) |
