The document discusses the immune system, which protects the body from disease. It has an innate immune system with physical barriers and cells like phagocytes and natural killer cells that are always present to fight microbes. If pathogens evade this innate response, vertebrates have an acquired immune system activated by the innate response. The acquired immune system adapts its response during infection to improve pathogen recognition, retain immunological memory, and launch faster, stronger attacks if the pathogen is encountered again.

Maneesh banyal vaccine delivery system
This document discusses vaccine delivery systems. It begins by providing background on vaccines, how they work to stimulate the immune system, and their role in eliminating diseases. It then discusses different methods for vaccine delivery, including single shot vaccines that provide delayed antigen release, and mucosal and transdermal delivery using techniques like iontophoresis, sonophoresis, and transdermal nanoemulsions. The document concludes by listing references related to transdermal drug and vaccine delivery.
Vaccine delivery system
This document discusses vaccine delivery systems, including uptake of antigens, single shot vaccines, and mucosal and transdermal delivery. It defines vaccines as biological preparations that improve immunity, and outlines the history from Edward Jenner's smallpox vaccine to modern vaccines. Traditional vaccines include killed and live attenuated versions for bacteria and viruses. Single shot vaccines aim to replace boosters with encapsulated antigens. Mucosal surfaces are a major entry point for pathogens, and mucosal vaccines aim to induce protective immunity at sites of entry using emulsions, strips, liposomes or nanoparticles. The skin is also a vaccine delivery site due to its size and accessibility, using technologies like microneedles or electroporation to enhance permeation
Human natural defence system
The document summarizes the host defenses against microbial pathogens. It describes the three lines of defense as: 1) physical and chemical barriers like skin and mucus, 2) innate immune responses involving phagocytes and inflammation, and 3) adaptive immune responses mediated by B and T lymphocytes and antibodies. Key aspects covered include the roles of leukocytes, lymph nodes, interferon, complement, and the specificity of adaptive immunity.
First line of defense ( barrier mechanisms)
Immunity is the capability of organisms to resist harmful microorganisms. It involves both specific and nonspecific components. The document discusses three lines of defense in the immune system: physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes; defensive cells and proteins, inflammation, and fever; and the immune system. The first line of defense consists of physical and chemical barriers that prevent foreign agents from penetrating the body without targeting any specific pathogen. These barriers include the skin, mucous membranes, sweat, mucous, saliva, tears, and ear wax.

Key components of the immune system are antigens, antibodies, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and lymphoid organs that help the immune system function.
Life sciences lesson2
The document describes the human immune system and how it protects the body from pathogens like viruses and bacteria. It discusses both the innate immune response, which provides immediate protection through physical barriers and internal defenses like phagocytes, and the acquired immune response, which adapts over time to improve recognition and response. The acquired response results in immunological memory that allows faster responses upon reexposure to a pathogen. Key components of the immune system include white blood cells, antibodies, antigens, and the development of active immunity through vaccination or prior exposure.
natural resistance of body against infection
The first line of defense against infection includes physical and chemical barriers. The physical barriers are the skin, mucous membranes, hair, cilia, and openings of the body like the mouth, nose, eyes, etc. The chemical barriers include lysozyme in tears and saliva, gastric juice in the stomach, acidity on the skin, and substances in places like the vagina, digestive tract, and urinary tract. Together these barriers prevent pathogens from entering the body and provide protection against infection.
Sub 1[1].5 form 5
The document discusses the body's defense mechanisms against pathogens. It describes three lines of defense: non-specific defenses as the first line (skin, mucous membranes); phagocytosis by white blood cells as the second line; and the specific immune response involving antibodies produced by lymphocytes as the third line. It defines key terms like antigens, antibodies, immunity, and different types of immunity including active and passive immunity acquired naturally or through vaccination and immunization.
Types of immunity
This document summarizes different types of immunity. It describes innate immunity, which provides non-specific protection and includes anatomical, physiological, phagocytic, and inflammatory barriers. It also describes adaptive immunity, which provides long-lasting, antigen-specific protection through the humoral and cellular immune responses involving B cells, T cells, antibodies, and memory. Finally, it distinguishes between active immunity acquired through natural infection or vaccination, and passive immunity acquired through maternal antibodies or administration of antibodies from an outside source.
White blood cells, muller, brito p. 2013
White blood cells defend the body against disease and are comprised of lymphocytes and phagocytes. Phagocytes engulf and digest waste, bacteria, and foreign bodies to provide innate immunity as the body's first line of defense, while lymphocytes are smaller white blood cells that produce antibodies and aid immune responses to fight infection. The nucleus of lymphocytes is larger than in phagocytes, whose nucleus is lobed.
Immune system
The immune system protects the body from infection through a complex network of cells and proteins. It has both primary organs that produce immune cells like the bone marrow and thymus, and secondary organs that process antigens like lymph nodes and the spleen. The major function of the immune system is to recognize foreign substances and protect the integrity of the body through distinguishing self from non-self. The endocrine system includes glands like the hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid, pancreas, adrenals, ovaries, and testicles that secrete hormones to regulate important bodily functions.
Immunity
This document discusses different types of immunity. It describes innate immunity, which is non-specific and provides immediate protection. Adaptive immunity is specific and takes time to develop, providing long-term protection through active natural or artificial immunity, as well as passive natural or artificial immunity. Community immunity is achieved when a sufficient portion of a population is immune, indirectly protecting those who are not.
Body Defense Mechanism
The document summarizes the body's defense mechanisms against infection. It discusses three lines of defense: physical and chemical barriers that block pathogens from entering the body, defensive cells and proteins that attack invading pathogens, and the immune system. The immune system has both innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity provides broad and immediate defense through physical barriers and cells. Adaptive immunity has targeted responses through humoral immunity using antibodies or cell-mediated immunity using T cells.
The immune system
The document discusses the immune system and how it protects the body from infectious diseases. It describes how the immune system works like an army with different blood cells performing different jobs to fight infections. The immune system is connected to and protects all body systems.

adaptive and innate immunity.pptx
The immune system is typically divided into two categories--innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms that come into play immediately or within hours of an antigen's appearance in the body. These mechanisms include physical barriers and chemicals that attack foreign cells. Adaptive immunity refers to antigen-specific immune responses and includes a memory that makes future responses more efficient. It is more complex and involves antigen processing and recognition by immune cells.
adaptive and innate immunity.pptx
- Innate immunity refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms present from birth that provide immediate resistance to pathogens. It includes physical and chemical barriers as well as cellular responses like phagocytosis.
- Adaptive immunity develops later in life and involves antigen-specific immune responses mediated by lymphocytes. It is more complex than innate immunity and includes immunological memory.
- The immune system consists of both innate and adaptive immunity. Innate responses provide initial defense against infection while adaptive responses provide acquired, antigen-specific immunity. Memory cells generated during adaptive responses enable faster responses upon reexposure.
Types of immunity
This document discusses different types of immunity. It describes innate or natural immunity which individuals are born with and includes species, racial, and individual immunity. Innate immunity acts as the first line of defense and is provided by the skin, mucous membranes, and phagocytic cells. Acquired or adaptive immunity develops after exposure to pathogens and includes both active and passive immunity. Acquired immunity has humoral components involving antibodies and cellular components involving T cells. Herd immunity is also discussed, where a community's immunity protects even unvaccinated individuals when a high percentage of the population is immune.

Introduction to immune system
The document provides an introduction to the immune system. It discusses that the immune system provides protection from disease through non-specific and specific mechanisms. The major functions are listed as protection from invaders, removal of dead/damaged tissues, and recognition/removal of abnormal cells. Both innate and acquired immunity are described. Key cells involved are macrophages, B cells, and T cells. Important components of innate immunity include mechanical barriers, chemicals/biochemical inhibitors, normal flora, natural killer cells, phagocytes, interferons, complement, and inflammation.

prepared by Prof. BLESSY THOMAS, SPN
Empyema is a disease of respiratory system It is defines as the accumulation of thick, purulent fluid within the pleural space, often with fibrin development.
Empyema is also called pyothorax or purulent pleuritis.
It’s a condition in which pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall. This area is known as the pleural space.
Pus is a fluid that’s filled with immune cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Pus in the pleural space can’t be coughed out. Instead, it needs to be drained by a needle or surgery.
Empyema usually develops after pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue. it is mainly caused due in infectious micro-organisms. It can be treated with medications and other measures.

Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.

Hypotension and role of physiotherapy in it
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

- 2. INTRODUCTION TO IMMUNITY • Immune system system of biological structures + processes within organism • protects against disease. • Organism function properly immune system detect wide variety of agents • (viruses, parasitic worms) • distinguish them from own healthy tissue.
- 3. INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEMS Cells + proteins always present & ready to mobilize fight microbes at site of infection. Main components of innate immune system: 1) physical epithelial barriers, 2) phagocytic leukocytes (WBC) 3) dendritic cells, 4) a special type of lymphocyte called a natural killer (NK) cell, 5) circulating plasma proteins.
- 4. If pathogens successfully evade innate response vertebrates possess second layer of protection acquired immune system activated by innate response Now immune system adapts its response during infection improve its recognition of pathogen. Improved response retained after pathogen eliminated immunological memory allows acquired immune system to act faster and stronger attacks each time this pathogen is encountered.
- 5. Differences in the components of the immune system
- 6. BARRIER DEFENSE SYSTEM Includes: the skin Mucus membranes of digestive-, respiratory- urinary and reproductive tract oBody secretions: mucus, saliva (lysozymes), tears, oil gland secretions, acid in stomach, sweat.
