Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic used to treat serious infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria and certain strains of gram-positive bacteria. It works by binding to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, inhibiting protein synthesis. Common infections treated include lower respiratory tract infections, skin/soft tissue infections, bone/joint infections, and septicemia. Adverse effects can include gastrointestinal issues and hypersensitivity reactions. Safety in pregnancy has not been established.
The document discusses lincosamides, a group of protein inhibiting antimicrobials with activity similar to macrolides. It describes specific lincosamides including lincomycin, clindamycin, and pirlimycin. Lincosamides prevent bacterial replication by interfering with protein synthesis in bacteria. They are used to treat various gram-positive bacterial infections and anaerobic infections. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues. Resistance can develop through methylation of the drug's binding site on the bacterial ribosome.
Mycoplasma and Chlamydia are important human pathogens. Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes atypical pneumonia in young people and is treated with erythromycin or tetracycline. Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are normal flora but can cause genital infections treated similarly. Chlamydia trachomatis causes trachoma, genital infections, and lymphogranuloma venereum. It is diagnosed via staining or culture and treated with tetracycline or erythromycin. Chlamydia pneumoniae causes pneumonia and other respiratory infections diagnosed serologically and treated with tetracycline or macrolides.
Bacterial conjunctivitis is inflammation of the bulbar and tarsal conjunctiva arising from a broad group of bacterial pathogens. It is also known as "pink eye".
Clindamycin is an antibiotic of the lincosamide class used to treat infections caused by certain bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It is absorbed well orally or parenterally and distributes widely throughout the body. Common uses include treating respiratory, skin, bone, and intra-abdominal infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and some protozoa. Adverse effects include diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. It is commonly prescribed for dental infections when penicillin cannot be used due to allergy.
Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and has concentration-independent bactericidal activity. It is administered via intramuscular or intravenous injection, distributes well throughout the body including cerebrospinal fluid, and has a half-life of 7-8 hours. Common indications include lower respiratory, urinary tract, and abdominal infections caused by both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Notable adverse effects include phlebitis, gastrointestinal upset, and skin reactions.
Clindamycin. a potent lincosamide antibiotic is similar in
mechanism of action (inhibits protein synthesis
by binding to 50S ribosome) and spectrum of
activity to erythromycin.
Oral absorption of clindamycin is good. It
penetrates into most skeletal and soft tissues,
but not in brain and CSF; accumulates in neutrophils
and macrophages. It is largely metabolized and
metabolites are excreted in urine and bile. The
t½ is 3 hr.
Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic discovered in 1956
as a penicillin substitute which assumed special
significance due to efficacy against MRSA,
Strep. viridans, Enterococcus and Cl. difficile.
Bactericidal action is exerted on gram-positive
cocci, Neisseria, Clostridia and diphtheroids.
However, in hospitals where it has been
extensively used for surgical prophylaxis, etc.
URINARY ANTISEPTICS
Some orally administered AMAs attain antibacterial
concentration only in urine, with little or
no systemic antibacterial effect. Like many other
drugs, they are concentrated in the kidney tubules,
and are useful mainly in lower urinary tract
infection. They have been called urinary
antiseptics because this may be considered as
a form of local therapy. Nitrofurantoin and
methenamine are two such agents; infrequently
used now. Nalidixic acid can also
be considered to be a urinary antiseptic.

الكوليسترول هو واحد من العديد من المواد الدهنية الموجودة في الدورة الدموية. يتكون الكوليسترول الكلي أساسا من الكوليسترول منخفض الكثافة والكوليسترول عالي الكثافة. عادة ما يسمى الكوليسترول منخفض الكثافة (الكوليسترول الضار) لأنه يمكن ان يتراكم على جدران الشرايين مشكلا لويحة، وفي النهاية يمكن ان يؤدي تراكم المواد الدهنية هذه الى ضيق الشرايين وهذا الضيق يمكن ان يبطئ أو يمنع تدفق الدم الى الاعضاء الحيوية مثل القلب والمخ ويمكن ان يؤدي منع تدفق الدم هذا إلى حدوث نوبة قلبية او سكتة دماغية.
عادة ما يسمى الكوليسترول عالي الكثافة، بالكوليسترول المفيد، لأنه يمنع الكوليسترول الضار من التراكم على في الشرايين ويقي من أمراض القلب. تعد الدهون الثلاثية شكلا آخر من الدهون الموجودة بالدم، فهي تزيد من مخاطر حدوث أمراض القلب.
في ما يلي بعض النصائح و الإرشادات الواجب اتباعها للوقاية من، و أيضا عند معالجة فطريات الفم:
غسل يدي الطفل بشكلٍ دوريّ بالماء الدافئ والصابون، وكذلك الأمر لمقدّم الرعاية للطفل.
الحرص على اتّباع تعليمات وإرشادات الطبيب بعناية عند استخدام مضادات الفطريات.
إغلي الأدوات التي يضعها الطفل في فمه بالماء لمدة تتراوح بين 5-10 دقائق بعد كل استخدام؛ وذلك لتعقيمها و للوقاية من إصابة الطفل بالعدوى مرة أخرى بعد الشفاء، ومن أمثلة هذه الأدوات الألعاب واللهايات وحلمات الرضاعات.
غسل أواني الشرب الخاصة بالطفل بالماء الدافئ الصابون بعد كل استخدام.
الحرص على تنظيف حلمة الثدي قبل الرضاعة الطبيعية.
يعتمد علاج فطريات الفم عند الأطفال على عدد من العوامل المختلفة مثل شدّة العدوى، والعُمُر، والأعراض، والصحّة العامّة للطفل المصاب. وفيما يأتي بعض الطرق العلاجية المتبعة:
المراقبة والانتظار: لا تحتاج بعض حالات فطريات الفم لدى الأطفال الرضّع للعلاج، خاصّةً الخفيفة منها، وقد تزول من تلقاء نفسها خلال عدّة أيّام، لذلك وبحسب شدّة الحالة قد ينصح الطبيب بالاكتفاء بالمراقبة والانتظار قبل وصف أيّ من العلاجات.
مضادات الفطريات الموضعية: هى ادوية تستخدم بشكل موضعي في الفم ، و في الغالب تختفي فطريات الفم بعد بدأ المعالجة بفطريات الفم، في خلال 3 إلى 5 أيام من المعالجة، و من امثلة مضادات الفطريات الفموية: الميكونازول جيل الفم، أو قطرات النيستاتين الفموية.
مضادات الفطريات الفموية( الجسمية): في بعض الحالات المتقدمة جداً، وهي حالات نادرة للغاية، ولا تصيب الأطفال، يمكن ان يلجأ الطبيب إلى وصف أدوية مضادة للفطريات عن طريق البلع( مثل فلوكونازول او اتراكونازول)، جنباً إلى جنب مع مضادات الفطريات الموضعية.
من المألوف أن تتجه عين المولود إلى الداخل أو الخارج: خلال الأشهر الثلاثة الأولى من عمر الطفل نلاحظ أنة من المألوف جدا ان تتجه عيناه إلى الداخل أو الخارج، ويتكرر حدوث ذلك من حين الى حين، ولكن في معظم الحالات تنصلح هذه الأمور بمرور الوقت تلقائياً. اما اذا لاحظت الام ان العينين متجهتان إلى الداخل والخارج بصفة دائمة أو معظم الوقت، وإذا مر الشهر الاول من عمر الطفل وهو على هذا الحال ثم استمرت نفس الحاله بعد الشهر الثالث من عمره هنا يصبح من الضروري عرض الطفل على طبيب العيون.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.
Selective alpha1 blockers are Prazosin, Terazosin, Doxazosin, Tamsulosin and Silodosin majorly used to treat BPH, also hypertension, PTSD, Raynaud's phenomenon, CHF

STUDIES IN SUPPORT OF SPECIAL POPULATIONS: GERIATRICS E7shruti jagirdar
Unit 4: MRA 103T Regulatory affairs
This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
