Abstract :

Repertory and M.M in Homoeopathic science comprises of numerous ruics indication a medicine but the question remains to which ruics the physician to rely upon of being exact indication of a specific medicine. to answer this, evaluation of the symptoms by implication of Likelihood Ratio (LR) has been initiated as a measure of justification to ing into light the indicators of a specific medicine. This Retrospective observational study was attempted to validate ruics of Arsenic Albm.1 ruic, sneezing constant(LR+ 9.0, p=0.636 )could be upgraded to Bold typeface, 5 ruics (anxiety health about, vomit, appetite diminished diarrhea, stool odor offensive )were analogous to the existing typeface in Kent�s Repertory,7 ruics [discharge watery(LR+3.65, p=0.656) ,corryza (LR+2.7, p=0.653), nausea(LR+ 2.85,p=0.643) ,Weakness in general(LR+2.20, p =0.685),Abdomen pain burning (LR+ 4.19,p=0.695),Rectum pain burning (LR+ 2.85, P=0.643)and Sleep disturbed (LR+ 2.16, P=0.684) the typeface could be downgraded , 4 ruics[company desire for (LR+ 1.13, p=0.648)and urethra pain burning (LR+1.29,p=0.673),irritability(LR+0.68, p=0.537)and weeping tearful mood (LR+ 0.57,p=0.648 ) remains doubtful. The higher the LR+ relating to p-value, assurance increases for exception and adding entries into repertory
