3) An automated external defibrillator (AED) delivers an electric shock to potentially restart the heart during ventricular fibrillation and should be used as soon as available if the victim is not

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
STUDIES IN SUPPORT OF SPECIAL POPULATIONS: GERIATRICS E7shruti jagirdar
Unit 4: MRA 103T Regulatory affairs
This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).

Your smile is beautiful.
Let’s be honest. Maintaining that beautiful smile is not an easy task. It is more than brushing and flossing. Sometimes, you might encounter dental issues that need special dental care. These issues can range anywhere from misalignment of the jaw to pain in the root of teeth.
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.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

27. Cardiac Emergencies
Cardiac Chain of Survival
1. Early recognition and early access
2. Early CPR
3. Early defibrillation
4. Early advanced life support
28. CPR
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Purpose?
CPR does not restart a victim’s heart; it
keeps blood that contains oxygen
flowing to the brain and vital organs
until an AED or advanced medical
personnel arrive.
29. CPR
victim is not breathing and does not have
a pulse
Chest compressions combined with giving
breaths
30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths
30. CPR
Continue CPR until:
You feel signs of circulation
AED is available
Another trained responder takes over
You are too exhausted to continue
The scene becomes unsafe
31. UNCONSCIOUS CHOKING
Care is similar to CPR with the exception
that a foreign object search is
performed between chest compressions
and breaths.
Chest compressions force air into victim’s
lungs to dislodge the object.
32. CONSCIOUS CHOKING
Victim is conscious, but cannot cough,
speak, or breath
Get consent before giving care
Assume airway is blocked
Universal sign of choking
Clutching throat with both hands
33. Conscious Choking Skill
Perform 5 back blows/5 abdominal thrusts
Stand behind and slightly to the side
Place one arm diagonally across victim’s chest
and lean the victim forward
Firmly strike victim between shoulder blades
with heel of hand 5 times
Place thumb side of fist against middle of the
abdomen just above the navel. Grasp fist with
other hand and give 5 quick upward thrusts
34. Conscious choking
Repeat 5 back blows/5 abdominal
thrusts until-
Object is expelled
Victim starts to breathe or cough
Victim becomes unconscious
EMS personnel arrive
35. AED
Automated External Defibrillator
A machine that analyzes the heart’s
rhythm
This shock, called defibrillation, may
help the heart reestablish an effective
rhythm
36. AED PRECAUTIONS
Do not:
Touch the victim while the AED is
analyzing or defibrillating
Use alcohol to clean victim’s chest
(flammable)
Use an AED in a moving vehicle
Use an AED on a victim lying on a
conductive surface (metal) or water
37. AED PRECAUTIONS
Do not:
An AED on a child under 8 yrs. Or
under 55 pounds
Use an AED on a victim (nitroglycerin
patch) remove patches
Cellular phone/radio transmitter within
6 feet of AED
38. OPERATION OF THE
LIFEPAK 500 AED
To prepare for ECG analysis and
defibrillation:
1.Verify that the patient is in cardiac arrest
2. Press ON/OFF to turn on the AED (the
green LED will light). The CONNECT
ELECTRODES message and voice prompt will
occur until the patient is connected to the
AED.
39. LIFEPAK 500 AED
3. Prepare the patient for electrode placement:
• Place the patient on a hard surface away from
standing water or conductive material.
• Remove clothing from the patient’s upper
torso.
• Remove excessive hair
• Clean the skin and dry it with a towel or gauze.
• Do not apply alcohol, or antiperspirant to the
skin.
40. LIFEPAK 500 AED
4. Apply the electrodes to the patient’s chest.
• Place the (Heart) or + electrode lateral to
the patient’s left nipple with the center of the
electrode in the midaxillary line.
• Place the other electrode on the patient’s
upper right torso, lateral to the sternum and
below the clavicle.
Firmly press the electrode onto the patient’s
chest to eliminate air pockets between the gel
surface and the skin.
41. LIFEPAK 500 AED
5. Connect the electrode connector to the AED
(if it is not already connected)
6. Follow screen messages and voice prompts
provided by the AED.
If the patient recovers consciousness and/or
signs of circulation and breathing return, place
the patient in the recovery position and leave
the AED attached.
42. LIFEPAK 500 AED
Warnings and hazards:
• delivers up to 360 joules of electrical energy.
• If a person is touching the patient, bed, or any
conductive material in contact with the patient
during defibrillation, the delivered energy may
be partially discharged through that person.
Air pockets between the skin and electrodes can
cause patient skin burns. DO NOT reposition
electrodes once applied. If the position must be
changed, remove and replace with new
electrodes.
