1.1 Pharmacology- An Introduction
The word pharmacology is derived from two Greek words, pharmacon meaning a drug, and logos meaning an opinion or reason. It can be defined as
“The science which deals with the history, source, physical properties, chemical properties, compounding, biochemical effects, physiological effects, mechanism of action, absorption, distribution, biotransformation, excretion, therapeutic and other uses of drugs, is called pharmacology.”
“The study of a substance that interacts with the living system through chemical processes especially by binding to regulatory molecules and activates or inhibits normal body processes”
“The science of substances used to prevent, diagnose and treat disease.”
Drug:
The word drug comes from Drogue meaning a dry herb. A drug can be defined as:
“A substance, material or product used for the purpose of diagnosis, prevention and relief of symptoms or cure of disease.”
WHO defines drug as:
“A substance, material or product used or intended to be used to modify or explore the physiological processes or pathological states for the benefit of the recipient.”
General Features of a Drug:
• Variability in molecular size
• Variability in shape
• Variability in chemical nature
• Variability in lipid/water partition coefficient
• Variability in degree of ionization
• Physical Properties
• Variability in molecular size
Smaller sized molecules are easily absorbed than larger molecules. Normally the molecular weight is between 100-1000 but may be higher or lower. Streptokinase is an example of large molecular weight drug while lithium or nitric oxides are of small molecular weight.
• Variability in shape

This document discusses a study on the use of Phatak's Repertory in treating respiratory diseases in children. 30 cases of acute and chronic respiratory diseases in children of different ages and socioeconomic backgrounds were treated over 12 months. The cases were analyzed and medicines selected using Phatak's Repertory. The results found 53.3% of cases recovered, 30% improved, and 16.6% saw no improvement. While the repertory has limitations due to fewer rubrics and remedies compared to other repertories, it was found to be useful in selecting similimums in pediatric respiratory cases in the shortest time based on its inclusion of modalities, causations, and pathological generals.

Materia Medica is a Latin medical term
for the body of collected knowledge
about the therapeutic properties of
any substance(drug) used for healing with their sources, preparations, doses and use.
Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann is considered the founder of homeopathy. He developed the principle of "similars" - that a substance can cure symptoms in a healthy individual that are similar to those of an illness. Hahnemann experimented by administering potential remedies to healthy subjects to record their symptoms, known as "homeopathic provings". He also proposed three chronic diseases or "miasms" - psora, syphilis, and sycosis. Later, other proposed miasms included tuberculosis and cancer. Some homeopaths experimented with combining remedies for different symptoms, but Hahnemann was skeptical it could lead to polypharmacy. While homeopathy has changed over 200

1. The most common route is oral, as it is noninvasive, convenient, and inexpensive. However, oral drugs may irritate the GI tract or have an unpleasant taste.
2. Other common routes include topical administration to the skin, eyes, ears, or nose. Subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous routes involve injection under the skin, into muscles, or directly into veins or arteries.
3. The route chosen depends on factors like the drug's intended site of action, ability to be absorbed, potential for side effects, and patient factors like ability to swallow. Invasive routes result in faster onset but have greater risks

This document discusses a study on using Phatak's Repertory to treat respiratory diseases in children. It provides background on repertories and Phatak's Repertory. The study aimed to evaluate the scope and limitations of Phatak's Repertory in treating children's respiratory diseases. 30 cases of acute and chronic respiratory diseases in children were treated using Phatak's Repertory. Most cases were school-aged children from average socioeconomic families with a family history of respiratory or other miasmatic diseases. Results showed improvement in most acute cases and recovery in many chronic cases.
Homeopathy is an alternative medical system introduced in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann based on the principle that "like cures like". Homeopathic medicines are highly diluted preparations made from natural sources that are believed to cause symptoms in healthy people similar to an illness. Homeopathy aims to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities through these extremely diluted preparations. While some research has found homeopathy effective for certain conditions, there is insufficient evidence that highly diluted preparations have any effect beyond a placebo. Homeopathy remains controversial as a medical system.
1. Homeopathy was founded in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann and is based on the principles of using highly diluted substances to treat medical conditions based on the idea that "like cures like."
2. Research on homeopathy has had mixed results, with some studies finding it effective for certain conditions and others finding no effects beyond a placebo. Major reviews in Australia and Europe found no reliable evidence that homeopathy is effective.
3. Proper clinical research methods and larger sample sizes are still needed to fully validate the effectiveness of homeopathic treatments according to some researchers and practitioners. Advocates argue its individualized approach needs to be studied differently than conventional medicine.
This document outlines the course syllabus for a pharmacology class. It includes the course objectives, topics to be covered, textbook references, evaluation criteria, and learning outcomes. The course will cover fundamental pharmacology concepts like pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and drug classifications over 27 hours. It will also cover the nursing process as it relates to pharmacology, including drug administration, safety, and calculations. Students will be evaluated through midterm and final exams, assignments, and participation. By the end of the course, students should be able to apply pharmacology concepts to patient care and ensure safe medication administration.
Homeopathy is an alternative veterinary treatment approach that considers the whole animal, including mind, body, lifestyle and nutrition factors. It works by treating animals with highly diluted substances that would produce similar symptoms in a healthy animal. While controversial due to lack of explanation by modern science, homeopathy is used to treat various animal conditions like arthritis, lameness and diarrhea. Proper study is needed to understand its effects and ensure ethical practice.

Dental materials - properties of dental materialSafuraIjaz2
This document discusses rheology, the study of flow of matter, which is important in dentistry as many dental materials are liquids or flow over time. It defines viscosity as the resistance of a fluid to flow and how it is measured. Dental materials are classified as Newtonian, pseudoplastic, or dilatant based on how their viscosity changes with increasing shear rate. Some materials like plaster of Paris and resin cements are thixotropic, where viscosity decreases under constant shear and increases when at rest. Structural relaxation is a rheological phenomenon where solids slowly deform through stress relaxation as atoms rearrange or through creep/flow under constant load near melting points.
The document discusses dental anatomy and development. It defines key terms like occlusion, mastication, dentition, and describes the primary and permanent dentition. It outlines the dental formula and eruption sequences. It also describes tooth structures like the enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum and periodontal ligament. It defines anatomical landmarks like cusps, ridges, depressions, and root structures. Tooth development and anomalies in number, size, shape and calcification are also discussed.
There are several subtypes of ameloblastoma including common, unicystic, and peripheral ameloblastomas. Common ameloblastomas typically occur in people aged 20-40 and present as slow-growing lesions in the mandible that cause bone expansion. Unicystic ameloblastomas usually affect younger people aged 16-20 and present as well-defined radiolucencies associated with impacted mandibular third molars. Peripheral ameloblastomas present as nodules in older adults aged 23-82 in the gingiva of the mandible or maxilla. Histologically, the subtypes can be distinguished based on epithelial patterns and features. Treatment involves surgical excision of the lesion and surrounding

It then provides more detail on the investing layer, pretracheal fascia, and carotid sheath, including their attachments, contents, and surrounding structures.
This document provides information on the facial muscles, including their origin, insertion, and movements. It discusses the bones of the face, the major facial muscles like the orbicularis oculi and corrugator supercilli, and muscles around the eyes, nose, mouth, and neck. The document also briefly describes how facial muscle contractions create different expressions.
The document provides an overview of the dental technology program at a university. It discusses the program director, courses offered over four years covering topics like dental materials and prosthodontics lab practicals. The scope of dental technology is described as offering diverse career opportunities working in dental labs, clinics, and research. Jobs include dental technician, ceramist, and orthodontic technician. The field is expected to continue growing with demand for dental services and technology advancements.
This document discusses tooth morphology and is the first chapter of a work by Chanda Shehzadi. Tooth morphology refers to the shape, size, and structural formation of teeth. The chapter will likely examine the different types of teeth and their functions as well as how their shapes are adapted for various purposes.
This document provides an overview of cementum, including its physical characteristics, composition, functions, classification, locations, abnormalities, and more. Cementum is the avascular, mineralized tissue covering tooth roots. It is composed of cells, collagen fibers, and hydroxyapatite crystals. Cementum functions to provide anchorage for fibers attaching teeth to bone and aids in adaptation and repair. It can be classified based on presence of cells, fiber origin, location, and matrix composition. Abnormalities include aplasia, hypoplasia, and hypercementosis.
Cementum is a hard, avascular connective tissue that covers tooth roots. It begins at the cervical portion of the tooth and extends to the apex. Cementum provides the medium for collagen fibers to attach the tooth to surrounding structures. It is composed mainly of inorganic hydroxyapatite and organic collagen. Cementum forms through a process called cementogenesis, where mesenchymal cells differentiate into cementoblasts that synthesize cementum. Cementum is classified based on formation timing, presence of cells, and origin of collagen fibers, with the primary types being acellular intrinsic fiber cementum and cellular extrinsic fiber cementum.
The document discusses several oral conditions including cleft lip, cleft palate, macroglossia, amyloidosis, black hairy tongue, torus palatinus, and torus mandibularis. Cleft lip and cleft palate are classified in different severities. Macroglossia and amyloidosis present enlarged tongue issues while black hairy tongue and torus palatinus/mandibularis involve abnormal tongue and hard palate/jaw bone growths.
Local anesthetics work by blocking sodium channels, preventing the transmission of electrical signals in nerves. They are commonly used for minor surgical procedures and can be administered via different routes. The most commonly used local anesthetics are amide and ester derivatives that exist in both ionized and non-ionized forms, with the non-ionized forms able to more readily cross cell membranes and the ionized forms being the active blocking entities inside axons. Toxicity can occur if local anesthetic blood levels become too high, potentially causing CNS or cardiovascular effects like seizures or arrhythmias. Treatment of local anesthetic toxicity focuses on supportive measures.

The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord and coordinates all body functions. The PNS connects the CNS to the limbs and organs through nerves and ganglia. Neurons are the basic cells of the nervous system and transmit electrochemical signals through axons and dendrites to control sensation, movement, and organ function. Glial cells support and protect neurons. The spinal cord has gray matter containing neuron cell bodies surrounded by white matter of myelinated axons.
