This document discusses several biochemical mediators involved in inflammation including renin, angiotensins, kinins, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, cytokines, and platelet-activating factor (PAF). It describes where these mediators are synthesized, their receptors, actions on various organ systems, and physiological roles. Key points include that kinins are potent vasodilators, prostaglandins can cause fever by acting on the hypothalamus, leukotrienes recruit immune cells and cause bronchoconstriction, and cytokines coordinate the immune response and cellular functions.
Seretonin (5HT) and Its Antagonists PharmacologyPranatiChavan
Serotonin is a chemical that has a wide variety of functions in the human body. It is sometimes called the happy chemical, because it contributes to wellbeing and happiness.
The scientific name for serotonin is 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT. It is mainly found in the brain, bowels, and blood platelets.
Serotonin is used to transmit messages between nerve cells, it is thought to be active in constricting smooth muscles, and it contributes to wellbeing and happiness, among other things. As the precursor for melatonin, it helps regulate the body’s sleep-wake cycles and the internal clock.
It is thought to play a role in appetite, the emotions, and motor, cognitive, and autonomic functions. However, it is not known exactly if serotonin affects these directly, or if it has an overall role in co-ordinating the nervous system.
This ppt provides the detailed about the bradykinin and their physiological and pharmacological actions and their generation and their mechanisms in detailed manner.
Serotonin is major neurotransmitter and affects the physiology of our body. Serotonin antagonists are used in various pathological conditions of body. This is a small presentation showing feature of serotonin.

Nutrition and inflammation - Nadia Rudenko, BA, MSfamilylifeforum
This presentation is a short overview of the interconnection between the immune system and inflammation. It identifies the role of acute and chronic inflammation in many “age-related medical conditions." The author identifies several methods of prevention and prophylactics to improve symptoms and quality of life. Optimal nutrition is emphasized, not diminishing all other components of healthy life style. They are as important as a good diet.
Many Blessings

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

12. KININ RECEPTORS
2 types B1 and B2
Both are GPCR
B1 B2
Normally expressed at low levels but
are strongly induced in inflamed or
damaged tissues by cytokines such as
IL-1
Constitutively expressed in most
normal tissues
Respond to des-Arg9- bradykinin &
des-Arg9 kallidin but not to bradykinin
itself
Selectively binds bradykinin and
killidin and mediates the majority of
their effects
Likely that B1 receptors play a
significant role in inflammation and
hyperalgesia
B2 receptors activates PLA2 & PLC via
interaction with distinct G proteins
13. ACTIONS OF KININS
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Kinins are more potent vasodilators than histamine
Dilatation is mediated through endothelial NO & PGI2 generation
and involves mainly arterioles
They markedly increase capillary permeability due to separation of
endothelial cell exudation and inflammation
Can release histamine and other mediators from mast cells
Injected I.V kinins cause flushing, throbbing headache and fall in BP
Kinins have no direct action on heart, reflex stimulation occur due
to fall in BP
14. ACTIONS OF KININS
SMOOTH MUSCLES
Kinin induced contraction is slow Intestine, uterus & bronchi
Cause marked bronchoconstriction in guineapig and in
asthmatic patients
Fluid secretion in airways and GIT cough & diarrhoea
SENSORY NERVES
Bradykinin stimulates pain nerve endings Intradermally
Elicit pain by stimulating nociceptive afferents in the skin and
viscera
Produce redness, local warmth, swelling and pain
Important role in inflammation
15. Physiological role of Bradykinin
Maintenance of BP
Mediation of inflammation & pain
Production of hyperaemia in various glands

34. CYTOKINES
Inflammation is an integral part body defence
mechanisms
Against foreign insults
Natural & acquired immunity human defence

lost matrix & tissue
Controlling cellular proliferation &
differentiation
Haematopoiesis
Functions of Cytokines
43. Platelet – activating factor (PAF)

Misnomer platelet stimulation ++ the name
Lyso-PAFLysoglyceryl-phosphoryl choline
44. Pharmacological actions of PAF
Vasodilatation
Increased vascular permeability
Chemotactic – eosinophils & neutrophils
Activation & aggregation of platelets ( TXA2)
Activation of leucocytes
Implicated in inflammation & bronchial hyper-
responsiveness
PAF produced by foetus at final term progression of
labour
Most potent peptic ulcerogen
