Allergies arise when immune system reacts to foreign body.
The immune system produces substances known as antibodies that protect us from unwanted invaders which could make us sick or cause an infection. When one comes into contact with the allergen, the response of the immune system can inflame skin, sinuses, airways or digestive system.
The severity of allergies varies from one person to another and can range from trivial irritation to a potentially life threatening emergency. While most allergies cannot be cured, a number of treatments can assist get rid of allergy symptoms

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors

Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae

4. Back-To-School: Asthma
Statistics:
In 2010, 7 million children were living with asthma (9.4
percent of children)
In 2010, three out of five children who had asthma
had one or more asthma attacks in a 12 month period
More than half (59 percent) of children who had an
asthma attack missed school or work because of
asthma in 2008. On average, children missed four
days of school because of asthma
185 children died from asthma in 2007

13 percent of U.S. children suffer from
allergic rhinitis
Compromised health interfered with school
performance in 1 in 10 children with allergies
compared with only 1 in 10 non-allergic
children
Parents report a nearly 30 percent decrease
in their children’s productivity when allergy
symptoms are at their worst
11
14. Back-To-School: Environmental Allergy
Signs:
Does my child have environmental
allergies?
Nose – sneezing, watery drainage, itching,
congestion
Eyes – redness, itching, drainage
Frequent sinus infections

quality of life
15
18. Back to School: Food Allergies
Statistics
2009 to 2010 study of children (infant to 18
years) indicated eight percent have a food
allergy
Food allergies result in 30,000 ER visits
annually
Case series: Nine of 32 fatalities occurred in
school and were primarily associated with
delay in epinephrine administration

26
27. Food Allergy: Fast Facts
Skin contact and inhalation of peanut butter
vapors do not usually cause generalized
reactions
Foods vaporized through heating can cause
reactions (primarily respiratory)
Non-ingestion exposures to peanut usually
cause mild reactions
Peanut residue can be cleaned from the hands
using soap and water or commercial wipes, but
not antibacterial gels
27
