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.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
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.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

4. Gastric Acid Secretion
3 Interdependent pathways stimulate parietal
cell HCl and Intrinsic Factor secretion.
– Neurocrine: ACETYLCHOLINE delivered
from VAGAL post-ganglionic nerves to
muscarinic receptors on the basolateral
parietal cell membrane.
---Endocrine: GASTRIN secreted by antral
G-CELLS reaching parietal cell receptors
via the blood stream.
– Paracrine: HISTAMINE secreted by
adjacent ECL- CELLS to bind H-2 receptors
on the parietal cell. Paracrine is the
dominant pathway

11. ANTIULCER AGENTS
Drugs used in the treatment of
ulcer are called as antiulcer
The goals of antiulcer therapy
are
Relief of pain
Ulcer healing
Prevention of complications
Prevention of relapse
3
13. H2 ANTAGONISTS
Highly effective drugs for treatment of ulcer
But surpassed by PPI
Pharmacological actions
H2 blockade
Highly selective to H2: no effect on H1 receptor
Block histamine induced gastric secretion,cardiac
stimulation, uterine relaxation and bronchial relaxation
At high dose they attenuate fall in BP
Gastric secretion
All phases (basal, psychic, neurogenic, gastric) of secretion are
suppressed dose dependently
But the basal nocturnal acid secretion is suppressed more
Completely (Therefore, it is better to be given before night sleep)
Secretory responses to not only histamine but also to ACh,
gastrin, insulin, alcohol, food induced Volume, pepsin
content and intrinsic factor secretion are reduced
6
Drugs: Cimetidine
Ranitidine
Famotidine
Nizatidine
Roxatidine
M.O.A.
They competitively and reversibly block
H2 receptors on the parietal cells.
14. Most marked effect is on acid secretion
Vit B12 absorption is not interfered
60–70% inhibition of 24 hr acid output
No direct effect on gastric or esophageal motility
Pharmacokinetics
Absorbed orally (BAB 60–80%)
Absorption is not interfered by food
Crosses placenta and reaches milk but don’t cross BBB
Metabolized by oxidation
2/3 excreted unchange in urine and bile
Dose reduction is needed in renal failure
t½ is 2–3 hr
7
15. Adverse effects
well tolerated but AE occurs in < 5% and are generally mild.
Headache, dizziness, bowel upset, dry mouth, rashes.
Cimetidine had antiandrogenic action, increase Prl and inhibits
degradation of estradiol
Gynaecomastia, loss of libido, impotence and temporary
decrease in sperm count.
Transient elevation of plasma aminotransferases;
but hepatotoxicity is rare.
Drug Interaction
Cimetidine inhibits several cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes
e.g. Theophylline, Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, Phenobarbitone,
Sulfonylureas, Metronidazole, Warfarin, Imipramine, Lidocaine,
Nifedipine, Quinidine
Reduces hepatic blood flow
Antacids reduce absorption of all H2 blockers
Ketoconazole absorption is decreased by H2 blockers due
to reduced gastric acidity. 8
Gynecomastia
(Male)
Galactorrhea
(Female)
Due to inhibition of
dihydrotestosterone binding to
androgen receptor
16. USES:
Duodenal ulcer
Reduce rapid and marked pain relief (within 2–3 days)
60–85% ulcers heal at 4 weeks and 70–95% ulcers at 8 weeks
50% relapse within 1 year
Maintenance therapy reduces the relapse rate to 15–20%/year
Reduce nocturnal secretion by single dose
Gastric ulcer
Healing rates are somewhat lower (50–75% at 8 weeks).
Can heal NSAID associated ulcers less effective than PPIs
Stress ulcers and gastritis
Stressful situations associated with gastric erosions & bleeding
Intravenous infusion of H2 blockers effective in this condition
9
17. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
It is a gastric hypersecretory state due to a rare tumour
secreting gastrin.
H2 blockers in high doses are effective
But PPIs are the drugs of choice
Definitive treatment is surgical
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Afford symptomatic relief
But are less effective than PPIs
Indicated in mild or stage-1 cases of GERD
Prophylaxis of aspiration pneumonia
Reduce the risk of aspiration of acidic gastric contents during
anaesthesia
Other uses
urticaria
10
18. PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS
Omeprazole
PPI inhibits the inhibit the final step in gastric acid secretion
PPI overtaken H2 blockers
Powerful inhibitor of gastric acid (resting and sti. by food)
Without much effect on pepsin, intrinsic factor, juice volume &
gastric motility.
Omeprazole is inactive at neutral pH
But at pH < 5 it rearranges to two charged cationic forms
(sulphenic acid and sulphenamide configurations)
MOA
React covalently with SH groups of the H+K+ATPase enzyme
and inactivate it irreversibly
Two molecules of omeprazole react with one molecule of enzyme
Acid secretion resumes only when new H+K+ATPase molecules
are synthesized
It also inhibits gastric mucosal carbonic anhydrase. 11
Drugs:
Omeprazole
Lansoprazole
Pantoprazole
Rabeprazole
Irreversible inhibition of Proton pump (H+ / K+ ATPase )
19. PK
All PPIs are administered orally in enteric coated form
Oral BAB is ~50% due to acid liability
BAB is reduced by food (taken in empty stomach or 1
hour later)
Omeprazole is highly PPB
Metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 (pt1/2 is ~1 hr)
Metabolites are excreted in urine
No dose modification is required in elderly or in
patients with renal/hepatic impairment
Because of its tight binding to target enzyme can be
detected in the gastric mucosa even after disappearance
from plasma
12
O/A 1hr, Cmax 2hrs, half maximal at 24 hr,
D/O 2-3 days
Only active acid pump inhibited by PPI
Antisecretory action increases on daily
dosing (plateau after 4 days)
80–98% decrease of 24 hrs acid output
with conventional doses.
Resumes gradually over 3–5 days of
stopping the drug.
20. Adverse effects
PPIs produce minimal AE
Only 3-5 %
Nausea, loose stools, headache, abdominal pain,
muscle and joint pain and dizziness
Rashes (1.5%)
Leucopenia and hepatic dysfunction are infrequent.
On prolonged treatment atrophic gastritis
Harmful effects reported during pregnancy (advise to avoid)
Drug interaction
Omeprazole inhibits oxidation of Diazepam, Phenytoin and
Warfarin
It interferes with activation of Clopidogrel by inhibiting CYP2C19.
Clarithromycin inhibits omeprazole metabolism
Decreases absorption of Ketoconazole and iron salts
15
21. Uses
Peptic ulcer
Omeprazole 20 mg OD, Faster healing at 40 mg/day
Relief of pain is rapid and excellent.
Duodenal ulcers heal even at 2 weeks & remaining at 4 weeks.
Gastric ulcer generally requires 4–8 weeks
Used in patients not responding to H2 blockers
Continued treatment (20 mg/day or 3 weekly) can prevent ulcer
relapse
Drugs of choice for NSAID induced gastric/duodenal ulcers.
Healing may occur despite continued use of the NSAID
But required high doses
Switch over to COX-2 selective NSAID
PPI are an integral component of anti-H. pylori therapy
Bleeding peptic ulcer
Acid enhances clot dissolution promoting ulcer bleed.
Suppression of gastric acid has been found to facilitate clot formation
Reduces blood loss and re-bleeding 13
22. High dose i.v. PPI therapy (Pantoprazole 40–120 mg/day or
Rabeprazole 40–80 mg/day)
i.v. followed by oral PPI reduces recurrence of bleeding
Stress ulcers
i.v. Pantoprazole/ Rabeprazole is as effective prophylactic for stress
ulcers as i.v. H2 blockers
GERD
Omeprazole produces more complete round-the-clock inhibition
Rapid symptom relief
More effective than H2 blockers in healing of esophageal lesions
PPIs are the drugs of choice
Higher doses than for peptic ulcer or twice daily
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Omeprazole is more effective than H2 blockers
60–120 mg/day or more (in 2 divided doses)
Inoperable cases have been treated for >6 years
Aspiration pneumonia
Alternative to H2 blockers
14
23. ANTACIDS
These are basic substances which neutralize gastric acid & raise
pH
Peptic activity is indirectly reduced if the pH rises above 4
Because pepsin is secreted as a complex with an inhibitory
terminal moiety that dissociates below pH 5
Optimum peptic activity is exerted between pH 2 to 4
Antacids do not decrease acid production, even reflex gastrin
release
Acid rebound occurs & gastric motility is increased
Potency of an antacid expressed as acid neutralizing capacity
(ANC)
Number of mEq of 1N HCl that are brought to pH 3.5 in 15 min
(or 60 min in some tests) by a unit dose of the antacid
preparation
Rate at which the antacid dissolves and reacts with HCl
Single dose of any antacid act in empty stomach acts for 30–60
min, with meals antacids may act for at the most 2–3 hr
17
24. Systemic Antacids
Sodium bicarbonate
Water soluble
Fast O/A but short D/A
It is a potent neutralizer (1 g → 12 mEq HCl)
pH may rise above 7
Use only in heartburn, alkalinize urine and to treat acidosis
Some disadvantages
Absorbed systemically (alkalosis)
Produces CO2 in stomach (distention, discomfort, belching)
Acid rebound occurs
Increases Na+ load (worsen edema and CHF)
Sodium citrate
Properties similar to sod. Bicarbonate
1 g neutralizes 10 mEq HCl; CO2 is notevolved.
18
25. Non-systemic Antacids
Insoluble and poorly absorbed basic compounds
React in stomach to form the corresponding chloride salt
chloride salt again reacts with the intestinal bicarbonate so that
HCO3¯ is not spared for absorption
Drugs: Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium trisilicate, Magaldrate
Aluminium hydroxide gel
It is a bland, weak and slowly reacting antacid
On keeping it slowly polymerizes to variable extents into still
less reactive forms.
Thus, the ANC of a preparation gradually declines on storage.
1–2.5 mEq/g.
Al3+ ions relax smooth muscle, mucosal astringent, delays
gastric emptying
Alum. Hydrox causes constipation
Alum. hydrox. binds phosphate in intestine & prevents its
absorption
Causes hypophosphatemia
19
26. Magnesium trisilicate
• Does not disturb acid base balance.
• SiO2 forms a gelatinous coating over gastric mucosa.
• MgCl2 & MgCO3 cause diarrhea.
• Mg salts & Al salts are commonly administered together to minimize
effect on bowel movement.
Magaldrate
• Hydrated complex of Al-Mg hydroxide sulfate.
• Reacts with HCl & releases Al(OH)3 & Mg(OH)3.
Calcium carbonate
• Powerful antacids with fast action.
• Raises gastric pH above 7.
• Causes belching due to release of CO2.
• Excessive doses with milk causes hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency
& metabolic alkalosis called milk-alkali syndrome.
• Acid rebound is marked as CaCl2 itself is gastrin stimulant.
• Causes constipation due to Ca-stereate.
Magnesium hydroxide
• Efficacious, neutralizes HCl
promptly.
• Elevates gastric pH up to 7.
• Acid rebound is mild & brief.
• MgCO3 causesdiarrhea.
• Belching does not occur as CO2
is not generated.
• Given along with Al(OH)3.
27. Drug interaction
By raising gastric pH and by forming complexes, the non-absorbable antacids decrease the absorption of
many drugs, especially tetracyclines, iron salts, fluoroquinolones, etc.
Stagger their administration by 2 hours.
The efficacy of nitrofurantoin is also reduced by alkalinization of urine.
Uses
Antacids are no longer used for healing peptic ulcer, because they are needed in large and frequent doses
Antacids are now employed only for intercurrent pain relief and acidity,
Gastroesophageal reflux Antacids afford faster symptom relief than drugs which inhibit acid secretion,
but do not provide sustained benefit. May be used off and on for acid eructation and heartburn.
20
28. ANTI-H. PYLORI DRUGS
H. pylori is a gram negative bacillus
Attaches to the surface epithelium beneath the mucus
Has high urease activity—produces ammonia—maintains a
neutral pH & promotes back diffusion of H+ ions
Causes chronic gastritis, dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, gastric
lymphoma and gastric carcinoma
H. pylori infection starts with a neutrophilic gastritis lasting
7–10 days which is usually asymptomatic.
90% patients of duodenal and gastric ulcer had positive H. pylori
Anti-H. pylori therapy + H2 blocker/PPI therapy
Antimicrobials are Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin,
Tetracycline and Metronidazole/Tinidazole
Single antibiotic is ineffective
Resistance develops rapidly
(metronidazole/tinidazole and clarithromycin)
CBC is active against H. pylori and resistance does not develop to
it21
But poor patients acceptability
32. ANTICHOLINERGICS
Pirenzepine
Selective M1 anticholinergic
Used in Europe for peptic ulcer
Gastric secretion is reduced by 40–50%
No side effects
It has not been used in India and USA.
PROSTAGLANDIN ANALOGUE
PGE2 serve a protective role by: Inhibiting acid
secretion
Promoting mucus as well as HCO3¯ secretion
Addition, PGs inhibit gastrin release, increase
mucosal blood flow
Also have cytoprotective effect
Natural PGs have very short t½
Misoprostol longer acting synthetic PGE1
derivative
Less effective then H2 blockers
Dose: 200 μg QID
16
33. Sucralfate – ulcer protective
• Aluminium salt of sulfated sucrose .
• MOA:
– In acidic environment ( pH <4) it polymerizes by cross linking molecules to form sticky
viscous gel that adheres to ulcer crater
– acts as acid resistant physical barrier.
– Dietary proteins get deposited on this layer forming another coat.
– May stimulate PGE2 synthesis & HCO3- secretion.
• Bind epithelial & fibroblast growth factors which promotes mucosal repair.
• SE: hypophosphataemia may occur.
• Concurrent antacids avoided.
• Uses:
– Prophylaxis of Stress ulcers
– Bile reflux gastritis
– Topically – burn, bedsore ulcers, excoriated skins
• Dose: 1 gm 1 Hr before 3 major meals and at bed time for 4-8 weeks .
34. Colloidal Bismuth Subcitrate (CBS)
• Mechanism of action
– CBS and mucous form glycoprotein bi complex which coats ulcer crater
– ↑ secretion of mucous and bicarbonate, through stimulation of mucosal PGE production
– Detaches H.pylori from surface of mucosa and directly kills them
• Dose: 120 mg 4 times a day
• Adverse effects
– blackening of tongue, stools, dentures
– Prolonged use may cause
osteodystrophy and encephalopathy
– Diarrhoea, headache, dizziness
