This document discusses cataract, including its classification, etiology, stages of maturation, clinical features, and complications. It classifies cataracts based on etiology and morphology. The main types are congenital/developmental, senile, and traumatic cataracts. Senile cataracts can be cortical or nuclear. The stages of maturation for cortical cataracts include lamellar separation, incipient, immature, mature, and hypermature. Nuclear cataracts change color from white/green to amber, brown, or black. Clinical features include glare, polyopia, halos, blurred vision. Complications include uveitis, glaucoma from protein leakage, and lens subluxation
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is an obstruction of the retinal venous system by thrombus formation and may involve the central, hemi-central or branch retinal vein.
The most common aetiological factor is compression by adjacent atherosclerotic retinal arteries.
Other possible causes are external compression or disease of the vein wall e.g. vasculitis.

Overview of Cataract for undergraduate MBBS students.
Covers the aetiology, clinical features, associations and management of cataract in detail.
Also includes salient points for PGMEE.
most common ophthalmic disorder seen in all over world. in India 2015 incidence of cataract patient was 62.6 % (9 million). so the awareness and the management is very important for this disease condition. i hope this presentation is very helpful to all the student and people to understanding the cataract refractive ophthalmic disease
Cataract refers to development of an opacity due in the lens or its capsule
Due to formation of opaque lens fibre
Due opacification of normally formed transparent lens fibres.
A cataract is a clouding or opacity that
develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight opacity to obstructing the passage of light.
Progressive, painless clouding of the natural, internal lens of the eye.

Antimicrobial stewardship to prevent antimicrobial resistanceGovindRankawat1
India is among the nations with the highest burden of bacterial infections.
India is one of the largest consumers of antibiotics worldwide.
India carries one of the largest burdens of drug‑resistant pathogens worldwide.
Highest burden of multidrug‑resistant tuberculosis,
Alarmingly high resistance among Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive bacteria even to newer antimicrobials such as carbapenems.
NDM‑1 ( New Delhi Metallo Beta lactamase 1, an enzyme which inactivates majority of Beta lactam antibiotics including carbapenems) was reported in 2008

NVBDCP.pptx Nation vector borne disease control programSapna Thakur
NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.

fundal glow observed on
distant direct
ophthalmoscopy
• 5. Slit-lamp examination

cortex
• 6. Visual acuity does not
improves on pin-hole testing
testing
• 1. Painless progressive loss of
vision
• 2. Greyish colour of lens
• 3. Iris shadow is absent
• 4. No black spots / glow are
observed on seen against red
glow in DDO
• 5. Slit-lamp examination
reveals clear lens
• 6.Visual acuity usually
improve on pin-hole
47. • Complications
• 1. Phacoanaphylactic uveitis.
• A hypermature cataract may leak lens proteins into anterior
chamber. These proteins may act as antigens and induce
antigenantibody reaction leading to uveitis.
• 2. Lens-induced glaucoma.
• It may occur by different mechanisms e.g., due to intumescent
lens (phacomorphic glaucoma) and leakage of proteins into the
anterior chamber from a hypermature cataract (phacolytic
glaucoma).
• 3. Subluxation or dislocation of lens
