This document discusses various concepts related to drug distribution in the body after administration. It explains that drugs may be distributed to tissues like blood, interstitial fluid, intracellular compartments, body fat, bones, placenta, brain, liver and more. It provides details on body fluid volumes and total body water. The concept of volume of distribution is introduced, which is the apparent volume required to account for the total amount of drug in the body based on the plasma concentration. Factors affecting drug distribution like lipid solubility, ionization, plasma protein binding, regional blood flow and tissue transporters are also summarized.

Absorption is the movement of the drug from its site
of administration into circulation. Not only
the fraction of the administered dose that gets
absorbed but also the rate of absorption is
important. Except when given i.v., the drug has
to cross biological membranes; absorption is
governed by the above-described principles.
Basic knowledge about Pharmacology which will be helpful in Academic and for GPAT exam. Brief description about Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamic, clinical trials and some important definitions. Different types of drug administration.

Pharmacokinetics (PK) is the study of how the body interacts with administered substances for the entire duration of exposure (medications for the sake of this article). This is closely related to but distinctly different from pharmacodynamics, which examines the drug’s effect on the body more closely. The four main parameters generally examined by this field include absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Wielding an understanding of these processes allows practitioners the flexibility to prescribe and administer medications that will provide the greatest benefit at the lowest risk and allow them to make adjustments as necessary, given the varied physiology and lifestyles of patients.
When a provider prescribes medication, it is with the ultimate goal of a therapeutic outcome while minimizing adverse reactions. A thorough understanding of pharmacokinetics is essential in building treatment plans involving medications. Pharmacokinetics, as a field, attempts to summarize the movement of drugs throughout the body and the actions of the body on the drug. By using the above terms, theories, and equations, practitioners can better estimate the locations and concentrations of a drug in different areas of the body.
The appropriate concentration needed to obtain the desired effect and the amount needed for a higher chance of adverse reactions is determined through laboratory testing. Using the equations given above, a clinician can easily estimate safe medication dosing over a period of time and how long it will take for a medication to leave a patient’s system. These are, however, statistically-based estimations, influenced by differences in the drug dosage form and patient pathophysiology. This is why a deep understanding of these concepts is essential in medical practice so that improvisation is possible when the clinical situation requires it.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. DRUG ADMINISTRATION
May get distributed
to…..
Vascular compartment (blood)
Interstitial fluid compartment (ISF)
Intracellular compartments (ICF)
Body fat
Bones
Placenta
Brain
Plasma proteins
Liver
Many more organs !!!
4. Body fluid
Blood (plasma) – 5% of body weight
Interstitial fluid – 15% of body weight
Intracellular fluid - 40% of body weight
ECF
20%
TBF
60%
In 70 kg individual L per kg
BLOOD = 70*5/100 = 3.5 L 0.05 L/kg
ISF = 70*15/100 = 10.5 L 0.15 L/kg
ICF = 70*40/100 = 28 L 0.4 L/kg
TBF = 70*60/100 = 42 L 0.85 L/kg
5. • Keep your imagination on fire.
• Try to imagine the hypothesis.
6. Volume of distribution (Vd)
• Apparent Vd
• “The volume that would accommodate all the
drug in the body, if the concentration
throughout was same as in plasma.”
7. 70 kg
42 L
420 mg
Vd= 42 L
Concentration = 420 mg/42 L
Concentration same as in plasma
Plasma concentration =amount / Vd
Vd = amount/ plasma concentration
9. Figures showing aVd
Vd =
plasma
0.05 L/kg
Vd =
ECF volume
0.2 L/kg
Vd = total body
water
0.8 L/kg
Vd > total body
water
10. • This example is PURELY HYPOTHETICAL.
• It denotes the over all pattern of distribution.
• It doesn’t denote the ANATOMICAL mode of
drug distribution.
11. Vd(L) =
Total amount administered
Plasma concentration
Total amount administered
Plasma concentration
Vd(L) =
When plasma
concentration
is high….
Vd is low….
Vd(L) =
Total amount administered
Plasma concentration
When plasma
concentration
is low….
Vd is high….
12. • So if a drug remains in vascular compartment
lower Vd.
• If a drug gets concentrated in peripheral tissues like
heart, retina, liver, higher Vd.
16. Penetration into brain and CSF
• ANATOMICAL BARRIERS :
– BBB
• Only lipid soluble, carrier mediated transport
• Dopamine vs Levodopa
• In case of inflammatory diseases
– BCB
• FUNCTIONAL BARRIERS :
– Efflux transporters
– like p-glycoprotein and OATP
– Enzymatic mechanisms
– like MAO, cholinesterase
17. PLASMA PROTEIN BINDING
• Most drugs possess affinity for plasma
protiens
• Acidic drugs bind to Albumin
– Acidic drugs are …salicylates, valproic acids, phenytoin, sulfonamide,
warfarin.
• Basic drugs bind to α-1-acid glycoprotein.
– Basic drugs are : quinidine, propranolol,lignocaine, verapmil,
methadone.
• Express in term of %
• Eg diazepam 99%
18. • While we measure concentrateon it
involves both (FREE +BOUND)
• But action is performed by free fraction only…
so can such estimations can be misleading.
19. PLASMA PROTEIN BINDING :
• Absorption PP bound drugs can not be absorbed
• Distribution can not cross membrane
• Metabolism can not be metabolized
• Excretion can not be excreted
• Action can not act, only free form is active.
• Duration of action usually have longer duration of action.
20. PLASMA PROTEIN BINDING
Clinical significance
1. Highly plasma protein bound drug – Vd ? Less or more?
Vd is less
2. Bound form is not available for action
3. High PP binding makes drug long acting, (temporary storage)
21. PLASMA PROTEIN BINDING
Clinical significance
4. Displacement interaction.
• “Competition occurs when they bind
the same site”
– Sulfonamide displace warfarin
• No competition when they bind to
different site on same PP
– Eg probenecid and indomethacin
22. PLASMA PROTEIN BINDING
Clinical significance
5. Disease
• Hypoalbuminemia - ↓ albumin
• Pregnancy, inflammation, MI - ↑ glycoprotien
Diseases causing
lowering of
plasma proteins
Less binding of
drug
Increase in
concentration of
“FREE” drug
Pronounced effect/
toxicity
23. Dialysis in Drug Poisoning
• Dialysis does not filter proteins.
• Drugs having high plasma protein binding
(e.g. diazepam) cannot be removed by dialysis
• Drugs having high volume of
distribution:Diffucult to remove by dialysis
Digoxin
26. • Cytochrome P450 most commonly involved
in drug metabolism
• (a) CYP 3A4
• (b) CYP 1AI
• (c) CYP 2E1
• (d) CYP 2D6
27. • Which of the following is a Phase I metabolic
reaction?
• (a) Hydroxylation
• (b) Conjugation

• (d) Sulfation
28. • In drug metabolism, hepatic cytochrome P-450
system is responsible for: (Karnataka 2003)
• (a) Phase I reactions (hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction
etc.) only
• (b) Phase II reactions (conjugation, synthesis etc.) only
• (c) Both phase I and II reactions
• (d) Converting hydrophilic metabolites to lipophilic
metabolites
29. • One of the potent microsomal enzyme
inducer drug is:
• (a) Captopril
• (b) Erythromycin
• (c) Rifampicin
• (d) Cimetidine
30. • Apparent volume of distribution (aVd) is
more than total body fluid if drug is:
• (a) Poorly soluble
• (b) Sequestered in tissues
• (c) Slow elimination
• (d) Poorly plasma protein bound
31. • Which of the following can result in oral
contraceptive failure?
• (a) Valproate

32. • SLE like reaction is caused by:
• (a) Hydralazine
• (b) Rifampicin
• (c) Paracetamol
• (d) Furosemide
33. • The bioavailability of the drug depends upon:
• (a) First pass metabolism
• (b) Second pass metabolism
• (c) Volume of distribution
• (d) Excretion
Editor's Notes
Lipid insoluble- restricted in to ECF; Vd= ECF Eg =streptomycin- vd= 0.25 l/kg
Drugs with high PPB restricted to Vascular compartment so Vd = blood volume eg warfarin
Drug sequestered in other tissue (Presence of tissue specific transporters ) vd may be greater than TBF eg digoxin, propranolol
tetracycline on bone and teeth, streptomycin vestibular apparatus, chloroquine retina
Efflux transporters
like p-glycoprotein and anionic transporters OATP on brain and choroid vessels which expels out unwanted substances..
Enzymatic mechanisms
like MAO, cholinesterase etc which prevents entry of neurotransmitters in CNS.
median eminence of the hypothalamus, subfornical organ (SFO), area postrema, organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT), posterior pituitary
High PP binding makes drug long acting, because bound form in neither available for metabolism or excretion (temporary storage)
Moreover two highly bound drugs do not necessarily displace each other- their binding site may not overlap
