Diagnostic agents are chemical substances used to reveal, pinpoint, and define pathological processes. The main types are X-ray contrast preparations, radioactive isotopes, and dyes. X-ray contrast agents make organs visible on scans by absorbing X-rays differently than tissues. They are introduced directly into organs or orally/intravenously. Diagnostic agents must be harmless, mix well with body fluids, accumulate selectively in organs, and eliminate completely from the body.

The extraction of morphine from the poppy plant involves several steps. Here is a general outline of the process:
1. Cultivation and Harvesting: Poppy plants (Papaver somniferum) are cultivated and grown in suitable conditions. The plants are typically harvested when the seeds have matured and the capsules contain the highest amount of alkaloids, including morphine.
2. Incision and Latex Collection: The capsules of the poppy plant are carefully incised to create small cuts or "scores." The latex, which contains morphine, begins to ooze out of the cuts. This process is known as latex collection.
3. Scraping and Collection: The latex that has oozed out of the incisions is carefully scraped off the surface of the capsules using a specialized tool. This collected latex contains various alkaloids, including morphine.
4. Alkaloid Extraction: The collected latex is mixed with a solvent, such as ethanol or methanol, to dissolve the alkaloids. This mixture is typically stirred or shaken to ensure thorough extraction. The solvent acts as a carrier for the morphine and other alkaloids.
5. Filtration: The mixture is then filtered to separate the liquid (containing the dissolved alkaloids) from any solid plant matter or impurities. This can be done using filter paper or other filtration methods.
6. Concentration: The filtered liquid, containing the dissolved alkaloids, is subjected to evaporation or other concentration techniques to remove the solvent and obtain a more concentrated alkaloid solution.
7. Purification: The concentrated alkaloid solution may undergo further purification steps to isolate and separate morphine from other alkaloids. This can involve techniques such as chromatography or crystallization.
8. Drying and Solidification: The purified morphine is typically dried to remove any remaining moisture. It is then processed into a solid form, such as a powder or crystalline substance.
It is important to note that the extraction of morphine from the poppy plant is a highly regulated process and is typically carried out by licensed pharmaceutical companies under strict legal controls.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. DIAGNOSTIC AGENTS
Chemical substances used to revcal, pinpoint, and define the localization of a
pathological process.
The principal diagnostic agcnts are X-ray-contrast preparations, radioactive
isotopes, and dyes.
X-ray-contrast preparations are substances that possess the property of absorbing
and retaining X-radiation more weakly or more strongly than the tissues of the body;
introduction of these substances into the hollow organs makes it possible under X-
ray examination to get an idea of the configuration of the organ, its volume, the
character of its inner surfaces, and the presence of pathological changes.
3. DIAGNOSTIC AGENTS
Uscd as X-ray-contrast diagnostic agents are gascous substances (air, oxygen,
nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide), which absorb X-rays more
weakly than do body
tissues; fluid substances, such as
iodine-containing preparations in the form of
aqueous (Diodrast, Urokon Sodium, Sergosin) and oily (propyliodone) solutions or
suspensions; and substances administcred orally in the form of powders and
suspensions (Chlografin).
An aqueous suspension of barium sulfate is used for X-ray examination of the
gastrointestinal tract.
X-ray-contrast agents are introduced directly into the organ to be examined (for the
esophagus, stomach, intestine, bronchi, uterus, heart), orally or intravenously in
examining the liver, bilc ducts, and kidneys, or intraarterially in contrast
examination of the blood vessels (angiography) and heart.

Diagnostic agents are used in doses that are harmless to the body; they
are isotonic in relation to the body fluids and mix well with them,
