David's lawnmower accident
This document discusses how David treated his accident wounds with essential oils. It lists several essential oils - lemongrass, helichrysum, cypress, and tangerine - and their medicinal properties for wound healing like stopping bleeding, regenerating tissues, improving circulation, and reducing swelling. The essential oils helped treat David's wounds instead of requiring a hospital visit.
Three Fascinating Procedures by Anthony Isom, Jr.
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a procedure to open blocked heart arteries by inserting a catheter with a balloon into the artery. The balloon is inflated to compress plaque and widen the artery, allowing increased blood flow. A stent is often placed to keep the artery open. Endarterectomy surgically removes plaque from the inner lining of an artery. An incision is made and the plaque blocking blood flow is removed. Embolectomy removes a blood clot or embolism from a blood vessel by inserting a catheter to vacuum the clot while a balloon moves it out of the artery.
FPATH
Deep vein thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in the deep veins of the leg, usually caused by prolonged immobility. When sitting for long periods, such as on a plane, the calf muscles do not contract and blood circulation decreases, allowing a clot to form. Part of the clot can break off and travel through the bloodstream as an embolism to the lungs, blocking vessels and causing a pulmonary embolism. Symptoms of deep vein thrombosis include leg pain and swelling, while a pulmonary embolism causes shortness of breath, chest pain, and other issues. Both conditions are serious and require medical treatment.
sclerosing hemangioma
The document describes a round nodule with a brown tan granular cut surface that is identified as a sclerosing pneumocytoma, also known as a sclerosing hemangioma. This mass is well-circumscribed with partly solid and partly hemorrhagic cut surfaces and a mixed hemorrhagic and solid pattern internally, as well as a mixed papillary, solid and sclerotic pattern.
Interstitial fluid formation and edema by dr. mudassar ali roomi
The document summarizes key concepts about the microcirculation and lymphatic system from Chapter 16 of the 11th Edition Textbook of Medical Physiology. It describes the structure and function of capillaries, factors that determine the exchange of fluid and solutes across capillaries, the composition and role of interstitial fluid, and the factors that influence lymph flow and development of edema. It also lists several causes of increased capillary pressure and permeability that can lead to extracellular fluid accumulation.
2.2.2 haemorrhage
This document discusses haemorrhages and methods for arresting them. It defines haemorrhage as the loss of blood from the body due to external or internal injuries. There are three main types of haemorrhages: capillary, venous, and arterial. Arterial haemorrhages are the most life-threatening. The document outlines symptoms of haemorrhages and discusses using direct or indirect pressure to arrest bleeding by applying pressure to wounds or pressure points until bleeding stops. The goal is to be able to correctly identify haemorrhage types and apply proper first aid methods to control bleeding.
Edema
Edema can be caused by either a transudate or an exudate. A transudate occurs when hydrostatic pressure in the blood vessels increases or colloid oncotic pressure decreases, forcing fluid through the vessel walls and into tissues. This can be due to conditions like heart failure or cirrhosis. An exudate forms when fluid leaks from blood vessels into tissues due to inflammation or injury, containing serum, fibrin and white blood cells. Exudates are caused by issues like pneumonia, cancer or pulmonary embolism.
Edema
Edema is the accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces of tissues. It occurs when there is increased hydrostatic pressure forcing fluid out of blood vessels or decreased plasma oncotic pressure pulling fluid back into blood vessels. The two main types of edema fluid are transudate, which is low in protein, and exudate, which is high in protein due to increased vascular permeability. Common causes of edema include increased venous pressure from conditions like heart failure or DVT, reduced plasma proteins from liver or kidney disease, lymphatic obstruction, sodium and water retention by the kidneys, and increased vascular permeability during inflammation.

Platelet Indices.pptx
This document discusses various platelet indices used in interpreting platelet histograms and their clinical significance. It defines plateletcrit (PCT) as the volume of platelets expressed as a percentage of total blood volume, with a normal range of 0.22-0.24%. It describes platelet distribution width (PDW) as measuring the variation in platelet size, with a normal range of 25-65, and higher values associated with vascular disease or cancer. It also defines platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR) as measuring larger platelets between 12-30 femtoliters, with increased levels seen in hyperlipidemia and autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is defined as the average
Multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a neoplastic disease characterized by plasma cell accumulation in the bone marrow, the presence of monoclonal protein in the serum and/or urine, and related tissue damage in symptomatic patients. The growth of myeloma cells disrupts normal bone marrow function, reduces immune function, results in abnormal monoclonal protein production released into the blood and urine, and destroys and invades surrounding bone. The initial diagnostic evaluation of multiple myeloma includes examining the peripheral smear for Roulex formation, protein electrophoresis for an M spike, bone marrow aspirate and biopsy, and checking bones for lytic lesions.

Wb cs maturation
This document provides an overview of white blood cells (WBCs), including their types, formation, morphology, functions, and values. It discusses the five main types of WBCs - granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils), lymphocytes, and monocytes. It describes how they develop and differentiate from stem cells in the bone marrow and thymus. Key details include the different stages in their development, microscopic appearance of mature cells, lifespan and fate in tissues, and roles in immune responses and homeostasis.
B cell disorders other than CLL
This document discusses several B cell disorders other than chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that can involve the blood and bone marrow. These include non-Hodgkin's lymphomas like mantle cell lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, and marginal zone lymphoma that may present similarly to CLL. It also describes disorders like hairy cell leukemia, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, and splenic marginal zone lymphoma that commonly involve the blood. Key diagnostic features of these various disorders are outlined.
Total leukocyte count
This document discusses leukocyte (white blood cell) counting. It defines leukocytosis as a white blood cell count over 10,000/cu mm and leukopenia as under 4,000/cu mm. Leukocytosis can occur due to infections, hemorrhage, or leukemia. The degree of rise depends on infection type and severity. Physiological leukocyte variations occur with age, pregnancy, exercise, and temperature. Specimen collection and dilution in diluting fluid is described. Counts are made using a microscope, counting chamber, and calculations provided to determine the white blood cell count per cubic millimeter of blood. Sources of error in counting are also discussed.
Hemoglobin Lecture for bs mlt
1. Hemoglobin is a protein composed of heme and globin subunits. It transports oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.
2. Hemoglobin exists in two forms - oxygenated (R form) and deoxygenated (T form). Allosteric effectors like 2,3-DPG stabilize the T form, lowering hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen and allowing release in tissues.
3. Carbon dioxide and protons also decrease hemoglobin's oxygen affinity through allosteric effects, facilitating oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide transport between lungs and tissues.
Erythropoiesis for bs mlt
Erythropoiesis is the process of red blood cell production that occurs in multiple stages within the bone marrow. It begins with pluripotent stem cells that differentiate into erythroid progenitor cells and progress through normoblast stages as the cells take on hemoglobin and lose their nuclei to become reticulocytes and finally mature red blood cells. Key regulators of erythropoiesis include erythropoietin, which is produced mainly in the kidneys in response to hypoxia and promotes red blood cell production, and various vitamins and minerals that support cell maturation and hemoglobin synthesis.

Cellular adaptations & accumulations
The document discusses various cellular adaptations in response to environmental changes including atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, metaplasia, dysplasia, and anaplasia. It also discusses intracellular accumulations of substances such as lipids, proteins, glycogen, pigments, and calcium deposits. Atrophy is a decrease in cell size while hypertrophy is an increase in cell size. Hyperplasia is an increase in cell number. Metaplasia, dysplasia and anaplasia refer to changes in cell type. Accumulations can occur due to excess production or defects in metabolism. Common accumulations include lipids in fatty liver, proteins in renal tubules, and iron as hemosiderin.
forms and morphology of cell injury
This document describes patterns of acute cell injury, including reversible and irreversible injury. Reversible injury includes cellular swelling and fatty change. Irreversible injury results in cell death through either necrosis or apoptosis. Necrosis is unprogrammed cell death that results from external factors and leads to inflammation. Apoptosis is programmed cell death that occurs physiologically during development and pathologically to remove damaged cells, resulting in cell shrinkage and fragmentation without inflammation.
Bone marrow aspiration & biopsy
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect bone marrow samples for examination. It involves inserting hollow needles into the bone, such as the pelvis, to aspirate or biopsy bone marrow. For aspiration, a syringe draws out bone marrow fluid. For biopsy, a thicker needle is rotated to collect a solid sample. The procedure requires local anesthesia and risks include bleeding, infection, and discomfort where the biopsy was taken. Reports on bone marrow samples analyze the ratio of myeloid to erythroid cells and provide differential white blood cell counts.
Osmotic Fragility Test
The osmotic fragility test measures the resistance of red blood cells to lysis when exposed to saline solutions of varying concentrations. Small amounts of blood are mixed with buffered saline solutions and the percentage of lysed red blood cells is determined. Increased osmotic fragility indicates conditions that cause spherical red blood cells like hereditary spherocytosis, while decreased fragility occurs in iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia where cells are flattened. The test is a simple way to evaluate red blood cell shape and membrane stability.
Leucocyte Cytochemistry
Leucocyte cytochemistry techniques identify enzymes and substances in blood cells that aid in diagnosis. They are useful for characterizing immature cells in acute myeloid leukemia and identifying abnormalities in myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Sudan Black B staining identifies granules in granulocytes, eosinophils, and some monocytes, similar to myeloperoxidase staining. Prussian blue staining identifies non-hem iron in cells, assessing iron stores and availability to developing red blood cells. Proper sample fixation and controls are important for accurate results with these staining techniques.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
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.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
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.

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).
biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
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.
2nd-generation Antihistaminic Part I.pptx
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects
