Combination therapy or adding basal insulin may help achieve better glycemic control for patients not at target on oral agents alone. Proper use of medication including right drug, dose, administration method and timing is important for effective management of diabetes.

It then discusses the classification of diabetes into type 1, type 2, gestational, and other specific types. Statistics on the prevalence of diabetes globally and in India are provided. The pathophysiology and progression of type 2 diabetes is examined. Oral hypoglycemic agents and their mechanisms of action are outlined, including sulphonylureas, meglitinides, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. The roles of exercise, diet, and weight control in diabetes management are also summarized
This document provides an overview of diabetes mellitus, including its definition, classification, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and complications. It defines DM as a group of metabolic disorders involving hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion or action. DM is classified into type 1, type 2, gestational and other specific types. The pathophysiology of type 1 involves autoimmune destruction of beta cells, while type 2 results from insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency due to genetic and lifestyle factors. Treatment involves medical nutrition therapy, oral hypoglycemic drugs, insulin therapy, exercise and monitoring of blood glucose and HbA1c levels. Complications can be microvascular (retinopathy, neuropathy, nephro

This document provides an overview of oral hypoglycemic agents used to treat diabetes mellitus. It discusses the different types of diabetes and mechanisms of several classes of oral hypoglycemic drugs. The classes covered include sulfonylureas, meglitinides, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, bile acid sequestrants, and amylin analogues. For each class, the document discusses mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, advantages, disadvantages, and contraindications. It concludes that lifestyle modifications and metformin are usually first-line treatments for diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by a lack of insulin production and requires lifelong insulin treatment. Type 2 diabetes results from insulin resistance and relative lack of insulin and can often be managed through lifestyle changes and oral medications, though some people may eventually require insulin therapy. Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy and usually resolves after giving birth but increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. The main goals of diabetes treatment and management are to control blood glucose levels and minimize the risk of short and long-term complications.
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood glucose levels resulting from defects in insulin secretion or action. There are four main types: type 1 caused by beta cell destruction; type 2 caused by insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion; gestational occurring during pregnancy; and prediabetes where blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis. Risk factors include family history, obesity, lack of exercise, and certain medical conditions. Management involves monitoring blood glucose, nutritional and lifestyle changes, exercise, diabetes education, and pharmacological treatments like insulin, oral medications, and management of complications.
This document discusses oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs), which are drugs taken orally to lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. It describes two main types of diabetes and explains how OHAs work to increase insulin secretion, sensitivity, and decrease glucose absorption. The document classifies OHAs and discusses specific drug classes like sulfonylureas including first generation drugs like tolbutamide and second generation drugs like glipizide. It provides details on the mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, indications, contraindications and side effects of various OHAs.
This document discusses oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs), which are drugs taken orally to lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. It describes two main types of diabetes (type 1 caused by lack of insulin, type 2 caused by insulin resistance) and how OHAs work to increase insulin secretion, sensitivity, or decrease glucose absorption. Two major classes of OHAs are discussed - sulfonylureas which stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreas, and glinides which have a rapid onset and short duration of action. Specific drugs from each class like tolbutamide, glipizide, and nateglinide are also summarized, including their mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, indications, contraindic
The pancreas and glucose homeostasis l4princesa_mera
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to a lack of insulin. There are two main types: type 1 involves a failure of insulin production while type 2 involves a gradual deterioration of insulin production. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is used to monitor blood glucose levels over several weeks. Insulin regulates glucose homeostasis by promoting glucose uptake and inhibiting glucose production in the liver and breakdown of fats and proteins. Complications of long-term diabetes include damage to blood vessels leading to issues like retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Oral anti-diabetic drugs work by various mechanisms like stimulating insulin release, reducing glucose production, or increasing insulin sensitivity.
Veterinary Pharmacology of Hormone secreted by pancreas Sabal Pokharel
The pancreas secretes several important hormones including insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide. The endocrine part of the pancreas contains clusters of cells called islets of Langerhans. The main cell types in the islets are alpha cells which secrete glucagon, beta cells which secrete insulin and amylin, delta cells which secrete somatostatin, and F cells which secrete pancreatic polypeptide. These hormones regulate important metabolic processes like blood glucose levels. Insulin lowers blood glucose while glucagon raises it. Somatostatin inhibits the secretion of insulin and glucagon.
1. Diabetes mellitus results from inadequate insulin supply or inadequate tissue response to insulin, leading to hyperglycemia. There are three main types: type 1 is autoimmune and causes complete insulin deficiency; type 2 is more common and involves relative insulin deficiency and insulin resistance; type 1b is a rare form not caused by autoimmunity.
2. Symptoms of diabetes include fatigue, weight loss, polyuria, polydipsia, and blurry vision. Diagnosis involves blood glucose criteria and HbA1c levels. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, oral medications like metformin and sulfonylureas, and insulin for more severe cases.
3. Complications include diabetic ketoacidosis, characterized by
This document discusses various classes of antidiabetic drugs used to treat diabetes mellitus. It describes metformin, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, thiazolidinediones, and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Metformin works by reducing hepatic glucose production and increasing glucose uptake in muscle. Sulfonylureas stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. Meglitinides also stimulate rapid insulin secretion. Thiazolidinediones enhance insulin sensitivity. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors delay carbohydrate absorption in the gut. The document outlines the mechanisms of action, adverse effects, clinical uses, and considerations for each drug class.
The document discusses disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It begins by defining diabetes mellitus as a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. It then describes the two main types: insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), which results from destruction of insulin-producing beta cells and requires insulin treatment; and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), which is more common and often associated with obesity. It further discusses disorders like glycogen storage diseases, pentosuria, galactosemia, and regulation of blood glucose levels. Lipid disorders like hyperlipidemia are also briefly mentioned.
1. The document discusses insulin and antidiabetic drugs for treatment of diabetes mellitus. It describes the normal pancreatic axis and role of insulin and glucagon in maintaining glucose homeostasis.
2. It explains the two main types of diabetes - Type 1 characterized by lack of insulin production and Type 2 characterized by insulin resistance. Treatment for Type 1 involves insulin injections while Type 2 focuses on lifestyle changes and oral hypoglycemic drugs.
3. Various insulin preparations are discussed based on their onset, peak time and duration of action. Other antidiabetic drug classes described are sulfonylureas, meglitinides, biguanides, thiazolidinediones and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors.
This document summarizes different types of oral hypoglycemic agents used to treat type 2 diabetes. It discusses how the pancreas normally regulates blood glucose and defines diabetes. It then describes the mechanisms and side effects of major classes of oral hypoglycemic drugs, including biguanides (e.g. metformin), sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, and others. The document provides details on how each class of drugs works to lower blood glucose levels and potential side effects.

This document provides an overview of diabetes, including its classification, pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, diagnostic criteria, complications, and relationship to periodontal disease. Diabetes is classified into type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. It results from either a deficiency in insulin production or resistance to insulin. Poorly controlled diabetes is associated with increased risk and severity of periodontal disease through mechanisms like impaired immune response and increased inflammation. Maintaining good glycemic control can help reduce the negative impacts of diabetes on periodontal health.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Perjeta® (pertuzumab)* in combination with Herceptin® (trastuzumab) and docetaxel chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer.1
The combination of Perjeta, trastuzumab and docetaxel chemotherapy was the only regimen that has been shown to significantly improve the time people with previously untreated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer lived without their disease getting worse (median progression-free survival, or PFS, 18.5 vs. 12.4 months; 6.1 months improvement) compared to trastuzumab and docetaxel chemotherapy
The breast is composed of lobes, lobules, and ducts. It receives its blood supply from the internal and external mammary arteries. Lymph drainage is primarily to the axillary lymph nodes.
Breast anatomy and development can vary between individuals. Common benign breast conditions include fibroadenomas, cysts, and fibrocystic changes.
Breast cancer originates in the breast ducts or lobules. HER2-positive breast cancer is a type where cancer cells overexpress the HER2 receptor, causing rapid growth. Physical signs may include a painless breast mass, nipple retraction, and enlarged lymph nodes.
Gazyva is a medicine that works with the body’s own immune system to attack blood cells called B-cells that have a certain marker on their surface (CD20). B-cells are the cause of common blood cancers.1,2
Gazyva is FDA-approved for the treatment of people with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in combination with chlorambucil chemotherapy.3
Phase III clinical data showed that Gazyva plus chlorambucil chemotherapy helped people with CLL live longer without the disease worsening than chlorambucil chemotherapy alone.3
Noise in the background - you are not concentrating on the sounds at all and nothing is registering with you. Ignoring would be another way to describe this type of listening. There is nothing wrong with passive listening if it's truly not important, but passive listening - which we might more aptly call Not Listening - is obviously daft and can be downright dangerous if the communications are important.
The time has come for HR (Human Resources) departments to call it a day. HR departments often portray themselves as a valued business partner for management and staff alike. However, how can anyone take a department seriously that refers to people as ‘resources’? Nothing matters more to companies than the people who work there. Companies are nothing without the right people! And I am sure that not one, single individual wants to be referred to as a ‘human resource’.So, the first point I want to make is that the name is wrong: very wrong. It signals to everyone that this department manages ‘human resources’ in a top-down fashion, i.e. managing humans in a similar way to other resources such as finance, property or machines. If departments can’t see that this is sending out the wrong messages, then they don’t deserve to be there anyway.
The document discusses the nature and characteristics of services. It notes that services are intangible, inseparable, variable, and perishable. It also discusses the distinctive characteristics of services like intangibility where services cannot be seen before purchase. It discusses how marketers can address these characteristics through strategies like standardizing service delivery to reduce variability. The document also discusses marketing strategies for services, noting people, physical evidence, and process must be considered in addition to the traditional 4Ps. It emphasizes the importance of internal marketing to train employees.
PowerPoint provides numerous features that offers flexibility and the ability to create a professional presentation. One of the features provides the ability to create a presentation that includes music which plays throughout the entire presentation or sound effects for particular slides. In addition to the ability to add sound files, the presentation can be designed to run, like a movie, on its own. PowerPoint allows the user to record the slide show with narration and a laser pointer. You may customize slide shows to show the slides in different order than originally design and to have slides appear multiple times
pricing involves the customer demand schedule, the cost function, and competitors’ prices. The question is how should a company integrate cost-, demand-, and competition-based pricing considerations? In setting a price the firm, for example Kodak, will have to consider the following cost-, demand-, and competition-based pricing decisions:
An internship is a method of on-the-job training for white-collar and professional careers. Internships for professional careers are similar to apprenticeships for trade and vocational jobs. Although interns are typically college or university students, they can also be high school students or post-graduate adults. On occasion, they are middle school or even elementary students. In some countries, internships for school children are called work experience. Internships may be paid or unpaid, and are usually understood to be temporary positions.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.

Presenter’s Notes Metformin is absorbed along the entire gastrointestinal mucosa and improves peripheral and hepatic sensitivity to insulin. This results in increased uptake of glucose by peripheral tissues and decreased hepatic glucose production. It is not stored in the liver and it is excreted in the urine. It does not stimulate insulin production or release from the pancreas and therefore does not cause hypoglycemia. It is the treatment of choice in patients who are overweight.
Presenter’s Notes Renal disease is the only absolute contra-indication to metformin and serum creatinine should be checked routinely. Gastrointestinal disturbances may include anorexia, nausea, diarrhea and a metallic taste. Lactic acidosis can be caused by excessive alcohol and symptoms include nausea, vomiting & diarrhea. Metformin is taken with meals to decrease gastrointestinal effects.
Presenter’s Notes Sulphonyureas stimulate insulin secretion by increasing pancreatic beta cell responsiveness to glucose. All people taking Sulphonylureas should receive information about the prevention and treatment of hypoglycemia. Glipizide is a potent but shorter acting OHA. Must be given before meals or it loses 40 % efficacy. Metabolism occurs mainly in the liver. It is contra-indicated in severe renal or hepatic failure. Gliclazide restores the diminished first phase of insulin secretion that is common in type 2 diabetes. It is absorbed along the gastrointestinal tract. The liver is the probable site of metabolism. Glibenclamide is a strong and long acting OHA. Should be used in caution in the elderly. Hypoglycemia may be severe, prolonged and fatal. Tolbutamide is the drug of choice in renal disease. It is relatively short acting in comparison to other Sulphonylureas. Contra-indicated in severe renal or hepatic impairment.
Presenter’s Notes Sulphonyureas can be used in conjunction with a biguanide. This is due to the different modes of action egg metformin and localized. There is no value in using two different types of Sulphonylureas as they do not complement each other egg localized and glipizide.
Presenter’s notes All Sulphonylureas can cause hypoglycemia and this risk increases with age and impaired renal function. Hypoglycemia is more common with longer acting sulphonylurea egg chloropropramide and glibenclamide. Weight gain can occur due to increased insulin production.
Presenter’s notes Used if other oral agents are ineffective. It can be used in conjunction with metformin and sulphonylurea. The action depends on inhibition of intestinal enzymes involved in the digestion of some carbohydrates and thereby reduces the post prandial rise in blood glucose levels. Precautions and side effects : gastrointestinal: flatulence, abdominal pain and distention does not produce hypoglycaemia when used alone need to treat hypoglycaemia, with quick acting glucose.
Presenter’s notes
Presenter’s Notes Use: Type 2 diabetes (as monotherapy or with metformin). Repaglinide is a novel short-acting oral hypoglycaemic agent structurally unrelated to the sulphonylurea drugs. It lowers blood glucose levels acutely by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect which is dependent upon functioning beta cells in the pancreas. Note: Meal related dosing means a person only needs to take this medication when eating a meal.
Presenter’s Notes Like other oral hypoglycaemic agents (sulphonylureas) repaginate is capable of causing hypoglycaemia. People with impaired renal or hepatic function may be exposed to higher concentrations of repaginate than would occur with the usual doses prescribed for people with normal function. Therefore, a more conservative dose titration with longer titration intervals should be considered. The safety of repaginate during pregnancy has not been established.
Presenter’s Notes Rezulin is currently only to be used as adjunct therapy with insulin. It is the first medication released from this class. It is absorbed within 2-3 hours of ingestion. It should be taken with food to increase absorption. Half life of 16-34 hours.
Presenter’s Notes Rare cases of idiosyncratic hepatocellular injury have been reported and so regular monitoring is essential.
