This document discusses adverse drug reactions (ADRs), their classification and prevention. It defines ADRs as noxious changes caused by drugs taken at normal doses. ADRs are classified as type A (predictable, dose-dependent) or type B (unpredictable, immune-mediated). It also describes various types of ADRs including augmented, bizarre, continuous, delayed, ending use and failure of efficacy reactions. The document emphasizes the importance of pharmacovigilance in detecting, understanding and preventing ADRs through activities like monitoring, data analysis and issuing safety guidelines. It concludes with examples of preventing ADRs through rational drug use and always considering ADRs when new symptoms arise during treatment.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2. ADVERSE DRUG REACTION
Any noxious change which is
Suspected to be due to a drug
At doses normally used in man
May requires treatment or decrease in dose or
Caution in the future use of the same drug
3. ADVERSE DRUG EVENT (ADE)
Any untoward occurrence that may present during medical
treatment,
But
Does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the
treatment
4. Incidence of ADR more

or
• Prolonged medication
or
• After stopping.
5. GRADING OF SEVERITY OF ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS :
Minor : No therapy, antidote or prolongation of
hospitalization is required.
Moderate: Requires change in drug therapy, specific
treatment or prolongs hospital stay.
Severe: Potentially life-threatening, causes permanent
damage or requires intensive medical treatment.
Lethal : Directly or indirectly contributes to death of the
patient.
6. CLASSIFICATIONS OF ADR
A (Augmented)
B (Bizarre)
C (Continuous)
D (Delayed)
E (Ending Use)
F (Failure of Efficacy)
Broadly
Type- A (Predictable)- Based on pharmacological properties
Type- B (Non-predictable) – Based on Immunological response
and genetic makeup of person
7. TYPE A- AUGMENTED
These are based on the pharmacological properties of
the drug so can be predicted.
They are common and account for 75% of ADRs
Dose related and preventable mostly reversible.
Examples:-
Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, heparin) – bleeding
Anti-hypertensives (e.g.. α1-antagonists) – hypotension
Anti-diabetics (e.g. insulin) - hypoglycemia
Predictable
8. TYPE B- BIZZARE OR UNPREDICTABLE
Have no direct relationship to the dose of the drug or the
pharmacological mechanism of drug action.
Develop on the basis of:
Immunological reaction on a drug (Allergy)
Genetic predisposition (Idiosyncratic reactions)
More serious clinical outcomes with higher mortality and morbidity.
Mostly require immediate withdrawal of the drug.
Un-predictable
9. TYPE C – CHRONIC (CONTINOUS) USE
They are mostly associated with cumulative-long term
exposure
Example:-
Analgesic (NSAID)– interstitial nephritis, necrosis
Predictable
10. TYPE D – DELAYED
They manifest themselves with significant delay
Teratogenesis -Thalidomide – Phocomelia (flipper-like fore limbs)
Mutagenesis/Cancerogenesis
Predictable
11. TYPE E – END OF USE
Drug withdrawal syndromes and rebound
phenomenons
Example – sudden withdrawal of long term therapy with -
blockers can induce rebound tachycardia and
hypertension
Predictable
12. PHARMACOVIGILANCE (DAUP)
The 'science and activities relating to the detection,
assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse
effects or any other drug related problems’
The information generated is useful in educating doctors and in
the official regulation of drug use.
It has an important role in rational use of medicines, as it
provides the basis for assessing safety of medicines.
13. Various activities involved in pharmacovigilance are:
Postmarketing surveillance and other methods of ADR
monitoring such as voluntary reporting by doctors prescription
event monitoring.
Dissemination of ADR data through 'drug alerts', 'medical
letters,' advisories sent to doctors by pharmaceuticals and
regulatory agencies.
Changes in the labelling of medicines indicating
restrictions in use or statuary warnings, precautions,
or even withdrawal of the drug.
14. The Uppsala Monitoring Centre (Sweden) is the international
collaborating centre.
In India,
National centre is located at Ghaziabad
Peripheral Centres at Medical college levels and tertiary and above
hospitals
Reports generated by doctors, paramedical staff--to peripheral
centre...National centre...Uppsala Monitoring Centre...Compilation of
data..analysis of data..causal association is confirmed..guidelines
issued regarding the safe use of medicine or (restricted use or
withdrawal from the market)
15. PREVENTION OF ADVERSE EFFECTS TO DRUGS
Avoid inappropriate use of drugs .
Appropriate drug administration (Rational Therapeutics)
Dose
Dosage form
Duration
Route
Frequency
Technique
Ask for previous history of drug reactions and allergies
Always suspect ADR when new symptom arises after initiation
of treatment.
Ask for laboratory findings like serum creatinine etc.
16. Categorized into:
Side effects-
Secondary effects
Toxic effects
Intolerance
Idiosyncrasy
Drug allergy
Photosensitivity
Drug dependence
Drug withdrawal reactions
Teratogenicity
Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity
Drug induced diseases (Iatrogenic disorders or Iatrogenicity)
Beware of – Iatrogenic, Idiosyncrasy, Idiopathic, Intolerance
17. SIDE EFFECTS
Unwanted often unavoidable Pharmaco-dynamic effects.
Occur at therapeutic doses.
Predictable
Examples.
Benzodiazepines- Motor in coordination
H1 Anti-histaminics- Sedation
An effect may be therapeutic in one context but side effect in another context
Depression of A-V conduction is the desired effect of digoxin in atrial
fibrillation, but the same may be undesirable when it is used for CHF.
Constipation by codeine is side effect but can be used as therapeutic effect in
patient with loose motions
18. SECONDARY EFFECTS
Indirect consequences of a primary action of the drug.
E.g. corticosteroids weaken host defence
mechanisms so that latent tuberculosis gets activated.
19. TOXIC EFFECTS (Poisonous effect)
It is the dose and duration which makes a poison....
Over dose or prolonged use.
The effects are predictable and dose related.
The CNS, CVS, kidney, liver, lung, skin and bone marrow are
most commonly involved in drug toxicity.
20. Toxicity may result from extension of the therapeutic
effect itself, e.g. complete A-V block by digoxin, bleeding
due to heparin.
Poisoning: Poison is a substance which endangers life
by severely affecting one or more vital functions.
21. Specific antidotes such as receptor antagonists,
chelating agents or specific antibodies are available for
few poisons.
For others as well as for those poisons which have a
selective antagonist general supportive and
symptomatic treatment should be done.
These measures are:
1. Resuscitation and maintenance of vital functions:
body temperature and blood glucose.
2.Termination of exposure (decontamination)
3. Prevention of absorption of ingested poisons.
4. Hastening elimination of the poison by inducing
diuresis or altering urinary pH
22. INTOLERANCE
It is the appearance of characteristic toxic effects of
a drug in an individual at therapeutic doses
It indicates a low threshold of the individual to the
action of a drug
Example:- Only few doses of carbamazepine may
cause ataxia in some people
Un-Predictable
23. IDIOSYNCRASY
It is genetically determined abnormal reactivity to a
chemical.
The drug interacts with some unique feature of the individual,
not found in majority of subjects, and produces the
uncharacteristic reaction.
Example :-
Chloramphenicol produces nondose-related
serious aplastic anaemia in rare individuals.
Barbiturates cause excitement and mental confusion in some
individuals
Un-Predictable
24. DRUG ALLERGY
It is also called drug hypersensitivity.
It is an immunologically mediated reaction producing
stereotype symptoms which are unrelated to the
pharmacodynamic profile of the drug.
It generally occur even with much smaller doses and
have a different time course of onset and duration.
Un-Predictable
25. Allergic reactions occur only in a small proportion
of the population exposed to the drug .
History of prior sensitization may or may not be
evident.
The drug or its metabolite acts as antigen (AG) or
more commonly hapten (incomplete antigen) and
induce production of antibody (AB)/sensitized
lymphocytes.
26. PHOTOSENSITIVITY
It is a cutaneous reaction resulting from drug induced
sensitization of the skin to UV radiation.
The reactions are of two types:
a) Photo-toxic :-
a) Drug or its metabolite Accumulates in the skin,
b) absorbs light and undergoes a Photochemical reaction followed by
c) Photobiological reaction resulting in
d) Tissue damage (sunburn-like),
a) i.e. erythema, edema, blistering , hyper pigmentation,
The shorter wave lengths (290-320 nm, UVB) are responsible
27. (b) Photo-allergic:
Drug or its metabolites induce a cell mediated immune response
which on exposure to
Light of longer wave lengths (320-400 nm, UV -A)
Produces a papular or eczematous contact dermatitis like picture.
Drugs involved are sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, griseofulvin,
chloroquine, chlorpromazine
28. DRUG DEPENDENCE
Use of drugs for personal satisfaction
Higher priority than other basic needs, often in the face of
known risks to health.
Physical dependence It is an altered physiological state
produced by repeated administration of a drug which
necessitates the continued presence of the drug to maintain
physiological equilibrium.
Discontinuation of the drug results in a characteristic
withdrawal (abstinence) syndrome.
Drugs producing physical dependence are opioids, barbiturates
and other depressants including alcohol and benzodiazepines
29. Drug abuse :
Refers to use of a drug by self medication in a manner and
amount that deviates from the approved medical and
social patterns in a given culture at a given time.
Drug addiction
It is a pattern of compulsive drug use characterized by
overwhelming involvement with the use of a drug.
Procuring the drug and using it takes precedence over
other activities
30. Drug habituation (Psychological dependence)
It denotes less intensive involvement with the drug, so that its
withdrawal produces only mild discomfort.
Consumption of tea, coffee, tobacco, social drinking are
regarded habituating, physical dependence is absent
31. DRUG WITHDRAWAL REACTIONS
Sudden interruption of therapy with certain other drugs results in
adverse consequences, mostly in the form of worsening of the
clinical condition for which the drug was being used
32. TERATOGENICITY (Teratos- Monster)
Drug to cause foetal abnormalities when administered to the
pregnant mother.
Drugs can affect the foetus at 3 stages-
(i) Fertilization and implantation-conception to
17 days-failure of pregnancy which often goes unnoticed.
(ii) Organogenesis-18 to 55 days of gestation most
vulnerable period, deformities are produced.
(iii) Growth and development-56 days onwards
developmental and functional abnormalities
can occur,
e.g. ACE inhibitors , Thalidomide, Warfarin,...............................
33. MUTAGENICITY AND CARCINOGENICITY
Cause genetic defects and cancer respectively.
Reactive intermediates which affect genes and may
cause structural changes in the chromosomes
Even without interacting directly with DNA, certain
chemicals can promote malignant change in genetically
damaged cells, resulting in carcinogenesis.
Examples- anticancer drugs, radioisotopes, estrogens,
tobacco...................................................
34. DRUG INDUCED DISEASES
These are also called iatrogenic (physician induced)
diseases, and are functional disturbances (disease)
caused by drugs .
Hepatitis by isoniazid and Rifampicin
Peptic ulcer by salicylates and corticosteroids
Retinal damage by chloroquine
