Difference between benign and malignant tumors:
Benign tumors:
Benign tumors are those that stay in their primary location without invading other sites of the body.
Benign tumors tend to grow slowly and have distinct borders. A growth that is not cancer.
Malignant tumors:
Are cells that grow uncontrollably and spread locally and/or to distant sites, they are cancerous.
They spread to distant sites via the bloodstream or the
lymphatic system. This spread is called metastasis.
Neostigmine:
Neostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis.
Neostigmine does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Neostigmine is used as an antidote for anticholinergic intoxication.
Mechanism of action:
Inhibits the hydrolysis of acetylcholine by competing with acetylcholine for attachment to acetylcholinesterase at sites of cholinergic transmission. It enhances cholinergic action by facilitating the transmission of impulses across neuromuscular junctions.

14. Neostigmine
Neostigmine is a cholinesterase
inhibitor used in the treatment
of myasthenia gravis.
Neostigmine does not cross the
blood-brain barrier.
Neostigmine is used as an
antidote for anticholinergic
intoxication.

18. NEOSTIGMINE
It is polar and does not cross the blood–brain barrier
and enter the CNS, but it does cross the placenta.
19. NEOSTIGMINE
It is polar and does not cross the blood–brain barrier
and enter the CNS, but it does cross the placenta.
20. MYASTHENIA GRAVIS
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune
disorder in which antibodies destroy the communication
between nerves and muscle, resulting in weakness of the
skeletal muscles.
21. MYASTHENIA GRAVIS
Myasthenia gravis affects the
voluntary muscles of the
body, especially those that
control the eyes, mouth, throat
and limbs.
22. MYASTHENIA GRAVIS
It happens when immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and G3 (IgG3)
autoantibodies that play a pathogenetically important role by
attacking the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), fixing
complement, and reducing the number of AChRs over time.
26. WHAT IS THE INDICATION OF
NEOSTIGMINE?
For the reversal of the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular
blocking agents after surgery. The use of neostigmine is
primarily found in the context of the reversal of neuromuscular
blockade during the administration of anesthesia to patients
undergoing surgery that require muscle relaxation.
28. Neostigmine and MG

Question 2
A. Epinephrine B. Acetylcholine
