Ceftaroline is a fifth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other resistant pathogens. It has excellent in vitro activity against gram-positive cocci including MRSA and is administered intravenously or intramuscularly. When combined with the beta-lactamase inhibitor NXL104, ceftaroline's activity may be extended to include some ESBL-producing gram-negative bacilli, though it remains inactive against non-fermenters like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ceftaroline is approved to treat complicated skin and skin structure infections and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.

ISO 15189 2022 standards for laboratory quality and competencePathKind Labs
The fourth edition of standards for laboratory quality and competence are available. Labs need to perform gap analysis to identify areas that need to be developed to fulfill the new requirements.
recently the fourth edition of ISO 15189 2022 have been released. It has aligned itself to its parent document ISO 17025 and focused on risk assessment
management of childhood tuberculosis in 2023.pptxPathKind Labs
diagnosis of childhood TB is a challange, but if we follow a system of screening and then appropriate diagnostic tests following contact tracing, we are likely to identify children with infection or disease and put them on appropriate treatment.
Recently ISO 15189:2022 have become available. This would help laboratories set up processes which would yield reproducible results and improve the quality of work.

Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus infections are transmitted by parentral route. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent cirrhosis of liver in HCV cases as drugs which can cure the infection are now available.
Covid-19 pandemic has caused over 6 million deaths and has been acknowledged as one of the worst pandemic in living memory. But antimicrobial resistance as invisble pandemic may clain more deaths every year if suitable action is not taken soon.
While MIC is a good measure of antibiotic activity, it is static and reflects in vitro activity. PK and PD of the drug needs to be considered together with MIC if we wish to obtain an in vivo prediction of drug action and success.

what is new in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis tb short.pptxPathKind Labs
Many changes have been made recently in Tuberculosis. The first important change is that instead of control now the focus is on eradication. for that to happen we need to change the way we detect, diagnose and treat tuberculosis.
Procalcitonin is an excellent biomarker for antibiotic use in bacterial infections alone. POCT guided PCT levels can help decide whether to add antibiotics or not in opd settings for respiratory tract infection.
While the world was focused on covid 19, WHO has made and issued consolidated guidelines making changes in how to prevent, diagnose and treat tuberculosis.
Understanding and implementing quality management system in medical laboratoriesPathKind Labs
QMS is essential to run a good laboratory, but the various requirements pose a big challenge. Once you understand the reason for these requirements compliance may be easier.
RT PCR is too slow for effective control of spread of cov 2 infection, rapid antigen test by giving results in less than 30 minutes can help identify infected persons leading to quick isolation.Lack of sensitivity can be compensated by repeating RAT after a day or so.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
