Introduction: In asthma patients, reductions in FEV3 and FEV6 may reflect early bronchial obstruction and disease severity. This study aimed to evaluate FEV3 and FEV6 as complementary spirometric parameters to FEV1 for assessing asthma severity and control. Material and methods: Multicenter prospective cross-sectional study exhaustively including 221 adult asthma patients recruited from pulmonology departments at Oran University Hospital (EHU) and Bechar Hospital (EPH) from 04/01/2020 to 12/31/2023.

Cette étude a été conduite pour tester l’efficacité de deux nouvelles formules d’engrais organo-minéraux sur la croissance et la productivité de l’arachide. L’essai a été implanté durant l’hivernage 2023à l’InstitutSupérieur de Formation Agricole et Rural (ISFAR) de Bambey. Le dispositif expérimental utilisé a été un bloc de fisheravec quatre répétitions. Le facteur étudiéétait la fertilisation organo-minérale avecquatre modalités (traitement) : T0 (témoin absolu) ; T1 (200 kg. ha-1 de6-20-10, témoin de référence) ; T2 (250 kg.ha-1TOP FERTI TC) ; T3 (200 kg.ha-1TOP FERTI T10.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and progressive joint damage. Globally, it affects approximately 0.5–1% of the population, with a higher prevalence in women. The homeopathic approach to RA emphasizes individualized treatment by addressing both physical symptoms and underlying emotional or constitutional factors. This case study highlights the successful management of a long-standing RA case using classical homeopathy, with the patient reporting significant improvement under care at Dr Batra’s.

Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP) is a chronic, relapsing pigmentary disorder that significantly affects quality of life due to its cosmetic and psychological impact. This case study documents the long-term management of severe facial and cervical LPP in an adult female patient who had progressive hyperpigmentation with dermal thickening and psychosocial distress.

Lichen Male androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a chronic, progressive condition with significant psychosocial impact, often showing limited response to conventional and unsupervised interventions. This case report presents a 23-year-old male with early-onset AGA of 5–6 years’ duration, associated with frequent relocations, disturbed lifestyle, emotional suppression since childhood, and hereditary predisposition. Despite multiple prior measures, including unsupervised dermaroller use, the condition continued to progress.

Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is a chronic inflammatory pigmentary disorder with significant psychosocial impact, often showing partial or temporary response to conventional therapies. This case study presents a middle-aged woman with long-standing LPP associated with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), recurrent itching, metabolic comorbidities, and deep emotional stress related to caregiving responsibilities. Despite multiple dermatological and supportive treatments over several years, the condition showed recurrence and persistence.

Hair loss following chemotherapy and major surgery is often multifactorial, with profound physical and psychological impact. Conventional and supportive measures frequently provide limited relief. This case report documents the successful classical homeopathic management of severe diffuse hair loss in a 39-year-old female with a history of lung cancer, chemotherapy, surgery, hypothyroidism, and emotional distress. A holistic individualized approach based on totality of symptoms and constitutional prescribing resulted in sustained clinical improvement and psychological restoration.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in young males is frequently associated with psychological distress and functional systemic complaints, often inadequately managed by conventional therapies. This case report presents a 23-year-old male suffering from progressive AGA, scalp seborrhea, anxiety, breathlessness, and functional gastric complaints, with unsatisfactory response to prior allopathic management. A classical homeopathic approach based on individualization, totality of symptoms, and miasmatic understanding was adopted.

Alopecia areata is a chronic autoimmune dermatological condition often associated with emotional stress and psychological imbalance. Conventional and supportive therapies frequently fail to achieve sustained improvement. This case study documents the successful management of alopecia areata in a young female patient through individualized classical homeopathic treatment at Dr Batra’s® Homeopathy Clinic. A comprehensive evaluation of mental generals, physical generals, and particular symptoms was undertaken, followed by repertorisation and miasmatic assessment.

Lichen Planus Pigmentosus (LPP) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis often associated with autoimmune tendencies and significant cosmetic distress. Conventional management frequently offers only symptomatic relief with unpredictable outcomes. This case report presents the successful management of a middle-aged female suffering from LPP with positive antinuclear antibodies, unresponsive to prior conventional therapies.
