Anesthesia and euthanasia of experimental animal by vivek and naveen
Anesthesia
It is a state of controlled temporary loss of sensation or awareness that or awareness that is induced for medical purpose.
Anesthetic agents
The anesthetic agents are great and choosing the correct one for particular suggestion.
In laboratory animal field , the anesthetic surgeon and post operative are often one and the same person.
This will help to chose correct drug for anaesthesia.
Sometime the wise anesthetic agents also cause undesirable responses. so, its responsibility of experimenters to document this advance in exprimental protocol
Euthanasia
The term euthanasia is derived from the Greek terms eu mean good and thanatos mean death.
Euthanasia is the act of including humane death in an animal. sacrificing the experimental animal after use by gentle procedure causing minimum of physical and mental suffering is called euthanasia.

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!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
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

2. Analgesia(pain)
Pain has been classified as productive pain and non- productive pain while this distinction
has no physiologic meaning. It may serve as a guide to treatment productive pain has been
described as a warring of injury.
Analgesic work at the level of the nerves, either by blocking the signal from the
peripheral nervous system. Or by distorting the interpretation by the central nervous system .
class of drugs , based on type of pain, severity of pain, and risk of adverse effects traditionally,
pain has been divided into two classes,
1) Acute pain
2) Chronic pain
Acute pain
Acute pain is self limiting in duration, and includes post operative pain, pain of injury,
and childbirth. Because pain of these types is expected to be short term and long term side
effects of analgesic therapy may routinely be ignored.
An important consideration of pain management of analgesic . This applies to both the
narcotic and non- narcotic analgesics in severe pain is that patients should not be subject to
the return of pain .
3. Chronic pain:
Chronic pain, pain lasting over three months and severe enough to impair function,
is more difficult to treat, since the anticipated side effects of the analgesics are more
difficult to manage. While some classes of drugs ,such as the narcotic agonist/antagonist
drugs bupronophine, nalbuphine and pentazocine, and the COX-2 inhibitors celecoxib
and rofecoxib represent advance in reduction of adverse effects, they are still not fully
suitable for long term management of severe pain.
Classification of Analgesics
Analgesics
Mild Analgesics
Aspirin
Acetaminophen
Ibuprofen
Strong Analgesics
Opium
Codeine
Heroin
4. Symptoms
The early symptoms of CKD are the same as for many other illnesses. These
symptoms may be only sign of a problem in the early stages.Symptoms may include:
Appetite loss
General ill feeling and fatigue
Headaches
Itching (pruritus) and dry skin
Nausea
Weight loss without trying to lose weight
Symptoms that may occur when kidney function has gotten worse include:
Abnormally dark or light skin.
Bone pain.
Drowsiness or problems concentrating or thinking.
Muscle twitching or cramps.
Breath odour.
5. Complications
Acute renal failure.
Chronic renal failure.
Interstitial nephritis.
Renal papillary necrosis(tissue death)
Urinary tract infections, chronic or recurrent.
Hypertension.
Causes
Damage Analgesic involves nephropathy involves damage within the internal structures of
the kidney. It is caused by long term use of analgesic s, especially over the counter (otc)
medications that contain phenacetin acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti inflammatory
drugs(NSAIDS) such as aspirin or Ibuprofen .
Risk factors include :
Use of OTC analgesics containing more than one active ingredient .
Chronic headaches, pain full menstrual periods, backache, or musculoskeletal pain .
6. Emotional or behavioural changes .
History of dependent behaviours including smoking , alcoholism, and excessive use of
tranquilizers.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is traditionally based on the clinical findings above in combination with excessive
analgesic use. It is estimated that between 2 and 3 kg each of phenacetin or aspirin must be
consumed before evidence of analgesic nephropathy becomes clinically apparent.
Once suspected, analgesic nephropathy can be confirmed with relative accuracy
using computed tomography (CT) imaging without contrast. One trial demonstrated that the
appearance of papillary calcifications on CT imaging was 92%sensitive and 100% specific
for the diagnosis of analgesic nephropathy.
Clinical features
Common findings in people with analgesic nephropathy include headache, anaemia, high
blood pressure (hypertension), and white blood cells in the urine (pyuria).
7. Clinical findings in analgesic nephropathy
Finding Proportion affected
Headache 35-100%
Pyuria 50-100%
Anemia 60-90%
Hypertension 15-70%
Gastrointestinal symptoms 40-60%
Urinary tract infection 30-60%
Treatment
Non opioid and opioid analgesics are the main drugs used to treat pain.
Antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and other CNS-active drugs may also be used for chronic or
neuropathic pain and are first-line therapy for some conditions. Neuraxial infusion, nerve
stimulation, injection therapies, and neural blockade can help selected patients. Cognitive-
behavioral interventions (eg, changes in relationships in the home; systematic use of relaxation
techniques, hypnosis, or biofeedback; graduated exercise) may reduce pain and pain-related
disability and help patients cope.
8. Non opioid analgesics
Acetaminophen and NSAIDs are often effective for mild to moderate pain (see Table: Non
opioid Analgesics). Of these, only ketorolac and diclofenac can be given parenterally. Non
opioids do not cause physical dependence or tolerance. Acetaminophen has no anti-
inflammatory or antiplatelet effects and does not cause gastric irritation.
NSAIDs include non selective COX (COX-1 and COX-2) inhibitors and selective COX-2
inhibitors (coxibs); all are effective analgesics. Aspirin is the least expensive but has
prolonged antiplatelet effects. Coxibs have lowest risk of ulcer formation and GI upset.
A 1.5% solution of diclofenac has been shown to effectively treat pain and limited joint
function caused by osteoarthritis of the knees; dose is 40 drops (1.2 ml) appliedqid to each
affected knee. Other topical diclofenac formulations that may be useful for local pain relief
include a patch (applied bid over the affected area) or a 1% gel (2 g qid for the upper
extremities or 4 g qid for the lower extremities).
9. Opioid Analgesics
“Opioid” is a generic term for natural or synthetic substances that bind to specific
opioid receptors in the CNS, producing an agonist action. Opioids are also called narcotics
a term originally used to refer to any psychoactive substance that induces sleep.
Opioid Analgesics Dose:
Opioid analgesics are useful in managing acute and chronic pain. They are
sometimes underused in patients with severe acute pain or with pain and a terminal
disorder such as cancer, resulting in needless pain and suffering. Reasons for under
treatment include
Underestimation of the effective dose
Overestimation of the risk of adverse effects
Generally, opioids should not be withheld when treating acute, severe pain;
however, simultaneous treatment of the condition causing the pain usually limits the
duration of severe pain and the need for opioids to a few days or less.
10. Adverse effects
In opioid-naive patients, adverse effects common at the start of therapy include
Respiratory depression (rare with appropriate doses)
Sedation and mental clouding
Nausea and vomiting
Itching
Because steady-state plasma levels are not approached until 4 to 5 half-lives have
passed, drugs with a long half-life (particularly levorphanoland methadone) have a risk of
delayed toxicity as plasma levels rise. Modified-release opioids typically require several
days to approach steady-state levels.
In the elderly, opioids tend to have more adverse effects (commonly, constipation and
sedation or mental clouding). Falls are a particular risk in the elderly. Opioids may cause
urinary retention in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

18. PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDIES
Analgesic activity
The anti analgesic activity of aqueous extract of tribulus terristates was in induced by
eddy’s hot plate and writhing response methods.
Animals
Swiss albino rats of both sexes weighing (150-200g) were obtained from venkateswara
trades; Bang lore & maintain in the animal house. They were properly housed in separate
cages in room temperature (25c) & fed with stanadard diet and water ad libitum .
Twenty four hours before each experiment (expect for the sub chronic toxity test), the
animals were deprived of food but not of water.
Eddy’s hot plate method
Swiss albino rats were divide into six groups, each of three animals .Group 1 served
as control ,Group 2 served as standard and were injected Diclofenac sodium
(9mg/kg)l intraperitonially Group 3.
19. And 4 were treated orally with aqueous extracts of 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight
respectively.
Group 5 and 6 were treated orally with alcohol extracts of 500 and 1000 mg/ kg body
weight respectively
The animals were individually placed on the hot plate maintained at 55 c , one hour after
their respective treatments.
The response time was noted as the time at which animals reacted to the pain stimulus
either by paw licking or jump response, whichever appeared first the cut off time of the
reaction was 15 seconds.
WRITHING RESPONSE
Acetic acid induced writhing method was adopted for evaluation of analgesic activity.
writhing is defined as a stretch, to one side, extension of hind legs, contraction of the
abdomen so that the abdomen of mice touches the floor turning of trunk (twist).
Any writhing is considered as a positive response.
Swiss albino mice weighing between 15-35g were used for evaluation of analgesic activity
;in each group six albino mice were kept.
20. A solution of acetic acid (1%v/v) in distilled water was prepared. A solution of
ibuprofen (dose-100mg/kg/10ml) was prepared in normal normal saline water. Test – 1:A
solution of etoricoxib (5mg/kg) in combination with diclofenac potassium (10m/mg) was
prepared in 10ml of normal saline water.
Wister albino mice of either sex were divide into four different group each containing
six animals were marked individually. Food was withdrawn 12 hours prior to drug
admintered till completion of experiment. The animal were weighed and number
appropriately. The test and standard drugs were given orally. After 60min writhing was
induced by intraperitonal injection of 1% of acetic acid in volume of 0.1ml/10g body weight
.the writhing episodes were collected for 30 min stretching movements consisting of arching
of the back, elongated of body and extensions of hind limbs were coned.

24. DISCUSSION
Generally medicinal values of the plants are dictated by their phytochemical and other
chemical constituents. The phytochemical analysis aqueous extract of tribulus terristities
revealed the presence of major phyto constituents like flavonoids tannins, saponins,
terpinoids, alkaloids, glycosides & carbohydrates. Hence the result of present investigation
indicate that the test drug may possess pharmacological proterties like analgesic. Theses
result also commensurate with earlier reported phytochemicals of this plant.
The preliminary phytochemical study revealed the presence of alkaloids,
carbohydrates, tannins, flavonoids. It helps to undertake further studies on the isolation and
identification of specific phytoconstituents. Extract showed the analgesic activity when
compared with control and analyzed statistically by ANOVA comparison test. On the
basis of these findings, it may be inferred that Tribulus terristris. In discussion, this study
provides evidences for the analgesic activity of Tribulus terristris.
25. CONCLUSION
Herbal drug are the option of treatment of disease which carries less side- effect and
toxicity.
Preliminary phytochemical studies revealed that the presence of saponins, tannins,
terpinoids, glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, stable oils treatment with
aqueous extract of Tribulus terristris at the dose of 400mg/kg showed a significant
analgesic activity by eddy’s hot plate method and writhing response method.
The results of present study indicates the aqueous fruit extract of Tribulus terristris.
Possesses analgesic effect, which is in accordance with its ethno medical use.
Analgesic effect of the extracts was demonstrated in the experimental models using
eddy’s hot plate and writhing response methods using thermal stimuli, an increase in
reaction time is generally considered an important parameter of analgesic activity.
Tribulus terristris shows significant results for analgesic activity.
