This document provides a list of journals that are regularly covered by the publication International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (IPA). It includes the journal abbreviations used in citations, the country of publication, and other identifying information like CODEN designations and ISSN numbers. It notes that not all abstracts from each issue are included in the printed IPA due to size limitations, and readers should check the online vendors for full coverage. Over 100 medical and pharmaceutical journals from around the world are represented in the list.
Common pharmacy abbreviations
This document lists common pharmacy abbreviations used in prescriptions and their meanings, including abbreviations for frequency of dosing like q. every, qHS every bedtime, BID twice a day, and PRN as needed, as well as other abbreviations like C. with, HS. at bedtime, and AA. of each.
Metric system
The metric system is based on tens and universally found items like water. There are basic units for mass (gram), distance (meter), volume (liter), and time (second). Prefixes before the basic units indicate quantity, from kilo (1000) down to milli (1/1000). Conversions between prefixes can be done using a "ladder method" where each subsequent prefix is ten times smaller than the previous one. Examples show converting between grams, meters, centimeters, seconds, liters and milliliters.
Energy path
The document discusses the path of energy from the sun to plants to humans. It explains that the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion and travels to Earth where plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, water and nutrients into sugar, a form of chemical energy. Humans then obtain energy by eating plants or other organisms and can convert the chemical energy from food into other forms like heat or kinetic energy, which is eventually lost as heat during exercise or other activities.

It discusses that new drugs undergo pre-clinical testing in labs and animals, followed by four phases of clinical trials in humans that can take 10-15 years total. If approved, generics can be developed through an abbreviated process by proving bioequivalence to the original. The document stresses the importance of accuracy in prescribing and dispensing drugs due to the risk of errors from similar drug names.
Class adverse drug reaction
An adverse drug reaction (ADR) is any harmful or unpleasant medical occurrence that may be related to a medication. ADRs can range from mild to severe or life-threatening. They are classified based on their mechanism and severity. Common types of ADRs include side effects, allergic reactions, toxicity from overdose, and teratogenic or carcinogenic effects. Spontaneous reporting of suspected ADRs is important for monitoring drug safety. Several drugs have been withdrawn from the market over time due to serious ADRs. Prompt treatment depends on classifying the reaction and its severity.
ADRs (VK)
This document defines adverse drug reactions and discusses their epidemiology and risk factors. It states that adverse drug reactions are any unintended and harmful responses to a medication. It notes that 4% of hospital admissions, 1 in 1000 deaths in medical wards, and 10-20% of inpatients experience adverse drug reactions. Risk factors include simultaneous use of multiple drugs, advanced age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, hereditary factors, and disease states. Common culprit medications are anti-coagulants, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, antihypertensives, antibiotics, diuretics and insulin.
mechanism and predisposing factors of ADR.pptx
The document discusses various mechanisms of adverse drug reactions including drug intolerance, drug allergy, drug dependence, drug withdrawal, idiosyncrasy, and teratogenicity. It provides examples and definitions for each type of reaction. Drug intolerance refers to an inability to tolerate adverse effects at therapeutic doses and is not an immune reaction. Drug allergy involves the immune system and can range from mild rashes to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Drug dependence involves physical and psychological reliance on a substance and withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation. Idiosyncratic reactions are unpredictable, uncommon, and not dose-dependent responses in individuals. Teratogenicity refers to birth defects caused by maternal exposure to chemicals during pregnancy.

Pharmacology courses online
Pharmacology: Professor Diana Rangaves, Santa Rosa Junior College PHARM 255 and PHARMM 256.1
Pharmacology is a branch of medicine that deals with the study of how drugs affect the body and brain. Studying drugs and their effects, side effects, and how they work, we are able to learn how to treat, manage and prevent disease and illness.
In the study of these chemicals we look at the biological systems affected. This micro neural network of dendrites, neurons, receptors, chemical signaling all involved in the transmission of cellular communication. The field of pharmacology has substantially changed the way we view medications, disease and healing.
Viewed as a Dance Party it has become possible to design chemicals that act on specific cellular signaling or metabolic pathways which control cell function and dysfunction. Knowing how drugs work is all the more important when it comes to serious conditions, life-threatening diseases and suffering. In these cases, knowing the specific actions of each drug before they are administered to patients leads to the highest possible outcome and patient medication safety.
The primary neurotransmitters, Dopamine, Acetylcholine, GABA and Serotonin govern a broad range of clinical pharmacology, neuropharmacology, psychopharmacology, pharmacogenetics, pharmacogenomics, toxicology, posology, and behavioral and environmental pharmacology. These disciplines continue to grow and evolve.
The field encompasses the best pathway to treat illness, disease and prevention; with an emphasis on pharmacokinetics and dynamics, mechanisms of action, clinical use, adverse reactions, drug interactions, contraindications, patient education and compliance.
The courses are organized by modules. Each module has reading, videos, discussion posts and interactive case work to make it real. As facilitator, I curate the discussion, pulling out lines of inquiry and insights as they emerge.
These interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals are at the foundation of our human care and outcomes.

It also stresses the importance of understanding the environment, both internal leaders and external communities, and setting a course for strategic change while gaining buy-in and commitment through transparency, engagement, and follow through during cultural transition. The final sections note that organizations must be willing to change and adapt or risk being left behind, and that opportunities should be seized through action rather than speculation.

Sunflowers
This document discusses improving leadership, employee engagement, and organizational performance. It addresses the following key points:
1. Leaders should seek feedback from employees and be open-minded to different perspectives. Accountability, clear goals and metrics, and aligning human capital plans with business outcomes are also emphasized.
2. Developing leadership, entrepreneurial, life, and coping skills in employees can reduce turnover. The hiring process also needs improvement.
3. Fostering creativity, empathy, questioning the status quo, cross-pollination of ideas, and qualitative employee support can increase engagement. Simple interactions build trust which is important.
Collaborative Balloons!
This document discusses leadership and collaborative work environments. It emphasizes engaging all employees and making decisions openly with shared responsibility. It contrasts "Orwellian" and "Kafkaesque" metaphors representing totalitarian control versus bureaucratic indifference. It argues that solutions require altering relationships between people and institutions to reduce feelings of helplessness. Leaders should recognize problems, acknowledge them, achieve shared understanding, and empower people through a series of small acts.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
