Constipation
•
2 likes•116 views
Constipation is difficult or infrequent passage of stool, hardness of stool, or a feeling of incomplete evacuation. Many people incorrectly believe that daily defecation is necessary and complain of constipation if stools occur less frequently. Others are concerned with the appearance (size, shape, color) or consistency of stools. Sometimes the major complaint is dissatisfaction with the act of defecation or the sense of incomplete evacuation after defecation. Constipation is blamed for many complaints (abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, anorexia) that are actually symptoms of an underlying problem (eg, irritable bowel syndrome [IBS], depression). Patients should not expect all symptoms to be relieved by a daily bowel movement, and measures to aid bowel habits should be used judiciously. Obsessive-compulsive patients often feel the need to rid the body daily of “unclean” wastes. Such patients often spend excessive time on the toilet or become chronic users of cathartics.

Pharmacotherapy of peptic ulcer
The document discusses the pathogenesis and treatment of peptic ulcers. It describes aggressive factors like acid, H. pylori, and drugs that can cause ulcers, as well as defensive factors like mucus and prostaglandins. Therapies aim to enhance defenses or eliminate aggressive factors. Common treatments include proton pump inhibitors to reduce acid secretion, H2 receptor antagonists, antacids to neutralize acid, and anti-H. pylori drugs when infection is present. PPIs like omeprazole provide powerful and long-lasting acid suppression, while H2 blockers are less potent but faster-acting options.
Omeprazole
Omeprazole, sold under the brand names Prilosec and Losec, among others, is a medication used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome.It is also used to prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding in people who are at high risk. Omeprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) and its effectiveness is similar to other PPIs. It can be taken by mouth or by injection into a vein.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headaches, abdominal pain, and increased intestinal gas.[1][9] Serious side effects may include Clostridium difficile colitis, an increased risk of pneumonia, an increased risk of bone fractures, and the potential of masking stomach cancer.[1] It is unclear if it is safe for use in pregnancy.[1] It works by blocking the release of stomach acid.[1]

Pharmacotherapy of anti malarial drugs slide share
Malaria is curable if effective treatment is started early because delay in treatment may lead to serious consequences including death.
Prompt and effective treatment is also important for controlling the transmission of malaria.
A revised National Drug Policy on Malaria has been adopted by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt of India in 2010 and these guidelines have been prepared for healthcare personnel involved in the treatment of malaria.
Medication Adherence
Medication adherence usually refers to whether patients take their medications as prescribed (eg, twice daily), as well as whether they continue to take a prescribed medication. Medication nonadherence is a growing concern to clinicians, healthcare systems, and other stakeholders (eg, payers) because of mounting evidence that it is prevalent and associated with adverse outcomes and higher costs of care. To date, measurement of patient medication adherence and use of interventions to improve adherence are rare in routine clinical practice. The goals of the present report are to address
(1) different methods of measuring adherence,
(2) the prevalence of medication nonadherence,
(3) the association between nonadherence and outcomes,
(4) the reasons for nonadherence, and finally,
(5) interventions to improve medication adherence.
Hepatitis
Hepatitis is a medical condition defined as the inflammation of the liver.
The condition is self-limiting, can progress to fibrosis and cirrhosis.
Hepatitis may occur with limited or no symptoms, but it often leads to jaundice, poor appetite and malaise.
Hepatitis is considered to be acute when it lasts less than six months and chronic when it persists longer.
Oral Contraceptives
Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are principal gonadal hormones.
Estrogen and progesterone are produced by ovaries whereas testosterone is mainly formed by testes.
ESTROGENS
Natural estrogens include estradiol(principal and most potent estrogen),estrone and estriol(weakest).
Natural estrogens are ineffective orally due to extensive first pass metabolism.
Estrogens undergo enterohepatic circulation that is also responsible for hepatic adverse effects(hepatic adenoma and thromboembolism).
Understanding Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle is a term used to describe monthly events that occur within a woman's body in preparation for the possibility of pregnancy.
Each month, an egg is released from an ovary in a process called ovulation.
At the same time, the lining of the uterus thickens, ready for pregnancy.
If fertilization does not take place, the lining of the uterus is shed in menstrual bleeding and the cycle starts over.
Overview of Hormone Replacement Therapy(HRT)
Many of the symptoms and signs of menopause can be attributed to the cessation of the production of estrogen by the ovaries in the menopausal stage.
The most common complications that women face during menopause include vaginal dryness, soreness, dyspareunia, urinary frequency and urgency.
Mood changes are also common during menopause and in postmenopausal women.
Vasomotor instability can cause hot flushes, sweating and palpitations in menopausal women.
Asthma Management
“Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways causing airflow obstruction and recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing ”.
There is a variable degree of airflow obstruction (related to bronchospasm, edema, and hypersecretion), bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), and airway inflammation.
Dyspepsia
Dyspepsia is a sensation of pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen; it often is recurrent. It may be described as indigestion, gassiness, early satiety, postprandial fullness, gnawing, or burning.
Many patients have findings on testing (eg, duodenitis, motility disturbance, Helicobacter pylori gastritis, lactose deficiency, cholelithiasis) that correlate poorly with symptoms (ie, correction of the condition does not alleviate dyspepsia).
Typhoid Fever (Enteric Fever)
Typhoid fever is an infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi.
Paratyphoid is an infection which is similar but has milder symptoms, which is caused by the bacterium Salmonella paratyphi.
Introduction to Communication Skills
The word communication has its roots in Latin and the word is ‘communicare’ meaning ‘to share’.
In French the word is ‘communis’ meaning ‘common’.
So, communication means to take what I have and make it common with you.
Tuberculosis
The causative agent of tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Belonging to the Family Mycobacteriaceae.
The other strains that cause tuberculosis are
M. bovis
M. africanum
M. carnetti
M. microti etc
The morphological features of the bacteria are that it is a small, straight, slender rod shaped, non-motile, non-capsulated, non-spore forming, aerobic organism.
The presence of mycolic acids in the cell wall is a characteristic feature due to which the bacteria gets resistance towards various antibiotics and disinfectants, and escapes from the phagocytic mechanism of the host.
" First Aid " Community Pharmacy Practice
Assistance, assessments and interventions that can be performed for benefit of any person suffering from a sudden illness or injury to preserve his/her life, prevent the condition from worsening, and/or promote recovery by an eyewitness or by the victim with minimal or no medical equipment is termed as First Aid.
First aid can be performed by the victim or by any individual near to the victim.
Responding to the Symptoms of Minor Ailments
Medicines are of two types
Prescription and Non prescription medicines.
Schedule H gives out the list of medicines that can be dispensed only on a prescription.
A pharmacist or a Pharm.D student is eligible to give medicines for mild ailments, which are called as non prescription medicines.
A pharmacist should have thorough knowledge over ailments like nausea, vomiting, pain, fever, cold and cough, diarrhea, constipation, ophthalmic problems, indigestion or dyspepsia.
Etiology and pathophysiology of common ailments should be known by the community pharmacists.
Diarrhoea is the passage of stools a number of times, an abnormal increase in the frequency and volume of motions, with the accumulation of water in the intestine.
Nausea & Vomiting
Nausea is an unpleasant sensation which is subjective and is different from one person to another person.
A person suffering from nausea also face
Pallor
Increased respiratory rate
salivation.
Retching :Rythmatic synchronized contractions of the diaphragm , abdominal and intercostal muscles against a closed glottis causing the intra abdominal and decrease the intra thoracic pressure causing the gastric contents to go up through the esophagus.
Vomiting is the process, emesis or throwing out, expulsion of stomach contents via esophagus and mouth.
Diarrhoea
Diarrhea is an increased frequency and decreased consistency of fecal discharge as compared with an individual’s normal bowel pattern.
It is often a symptom of a systemic disease.
Acute diarrhea is commonly defined as shorter than 14 days’ duration.
Persistent diarrhea as longer than 14 days’ duration.
Chronic diarrhea as longer than 30 days’ duration.
Most cases of acute diarrhea are caused by infections with viruses, bacteria, or protozoa, and are generally self-limited.
Pharmacotherapy of Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic widespread pain, increased tenderness at specific sites known as “tender points,” unrefreshing sleep, fatigue and cognitive dysfunction not attributable to other disease states.
Fibromyalgia affects 2–4% of the general population and of those affected, 80–90% are female. In general, symptom onset occurs between the ages of 30 and 60.
While the etiology of fibromyalgia is not entirely clear, associations with trauma, adverse life events, impaired mood (e.g., depression), anxiety, irritable bowel syndrome, irritable bladder syndrome, cold intolerance, paresthesias and other medical condition have been described. Consequently, a patient tailored approach to treatment is ideal to address both symptoms of fibromyalgia and any associated conditions.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
