A talk by Professor Qureshi on hypnosis. He describes how to perform hypnosis and how he has managed to do it with all sorts of people and the benefits to patients. He also teaches patients how to use self hypnosis.
The topic is potentially highly controversial as there is Islamic scholarly resistance to the use of hypnosis: http://islamqa.info/en/pda/ref/islamqa/12631.
Bismillah alhamdulillah:
Professor of many subjects from the USA talking about Atopic Dermatitis. A rather unpredictable choice of subject as I don’t see that much in children here. I wonder how useful the audience found the topic. The slides were overly texty. The talk overran and the take home messages are pretty much the same: stop the itch, emollients, bleach and tars and antibiotics.
Other misc. points:
IgE testing not done anymore.
Fillagrin gene mutations 9% in Europeans renders them more susceptible.
Treat with antibiotics to reduce colonisation rather then impetigo.
Bismillah alhamdulillah.
Trying to put a mind map together of my notes regarding the artificial sweetener called Aspartame. Click here to see it.
Insha Allah will update it as time goes along.
Bismillah, alhamduillah:
