The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart has four chambers and is divided into right and left sides by the septum. It pumps blood through two circuits - the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit. Blood travels to the lungs to receive oxygen and release carbon dioxide, then back to the heart to be pumped through arteries and veins throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that allow for exchange of materials between blood and body cells. The cardiovascular system functions to transport these materials to sustain life.
This system has three main components: the heart, the blood vessel and the blood itself. The heart is the system's pump and the blood vessels are like the delivery routes. Blood can be thought of as a fluid which contains the oxygen and nutrients the body needs and carries the wastes which need to be removed.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

8. • PHYSIOLOGY OF THE
HEART
• The Conducting
System (electric)
1. Sinoatrial Node (SA) • PACEMAKER OF HEART – starts
each heartbeat
• located in wall of right atrium
• made of specialized myocardial
cells
• sends impulse to both atria,
causing them to contract
• called an intrinsic conduction or
“nodal” system of specialized tissue
9. 2. Atrioventricular
Node (AV node)
• located at base of right atrium –
receives impulse from SA node
SA Node
AV Node
10. • Atrioventricular
Bundle
• Location: middle of septum
• Direction of Heart
Beat
• impulse from AV node goes down
bundle to base of heart
• it then travels up the sides of the
ventricles through the PURKINJE
NETWORK causing the ventricles to
contract from the bottom up
Atrioventricular
Bundle
11. • RATE OF HEART
BEAT
• Factors affecting
heart rate
• age, sex, physical activity,
temperature, thought processes,
chemicals (natural and otherwise)
• rate high at birth (100 – 140 bpm) –
then declines steadily until average is
reached (70 – 80 bpm)
• heart rate faster in females –
slower in trained athletes
12. • CARDIAC CYCLE • the events of one complete heartbeat
• length of cycle (heartbeat) is about
0.8 sec
• atria contract at the same time – as
they relax, the ventricles contract
• SYSTOLE • contraction of ventricle
• DIASTOLE • relaxation of ventricle
• Cardiac Output • amount of blood pumped out of each
side of the heart in 1 minute
• heart rate X stroke volume
13. • PULSE & BLOOD
PRESSURE
• Pulse
• expansion & contraction
of an artery as the left
ventricle contracts
• normal is 70 – 80 bpm
(there are exceptions to
this)
• pulse can be found at
many sites on the body
14. • Blood Pressure • pressure blood exerts on the inner
walls of blood vessels
• Measuring BP • BP is a measure of the systolic
pressure (ventricles contracting) OVER
the diastolic pressure (ventricles relaxing)
• Example: • 110/70 is in normal range
• Factors affecting
BP
• nervous system, blood volume
(kidneys), temp, chemicals, diet, exercise
