Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh. The content of the text was presented in sanskrit and telugu language (Bilingual). One of the most famous book in ayurvedic pharmaceutics and therapeutics. This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
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.
Basavarajeeyam is a Sreshta Sangraha grantha (Compiled book ), written by Neelkanta kotturu Basavaraja Virachita. It contains 25 Prakaranas, First 24 Chapters related to Rogas& 25th to Rasadravyas.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8. USE OF VARIOUS GASES IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES
Helium is the gas of choice for use with the thermal conductivity detector (TCD), and allows greater sensitivity
as compared to nitrogen.
The electron capture detectors (ECD), on the other hand, are more efficient when nitrogen or argon–methane
mixtures are used as carrier gas, while no noticeable difference in sensitivity is evident between nitrogen and
helium when using the flame ionization detector (FID).
Thermionic detectors (TD), such as the nitrogen–phosphorus detector (NPD) utilize nitrogen or helium as the
carrier gas
Similarly, the photoionization detector (PID) uses oxygen-free nitrogen or helium, while nitrogen is used as
carrier gas with the flame photometric detector (FPD).
9. GASES CONTROL EQUIPMENT AND DEVICES
Flow Control
Cylinders
Temperature controls
Valves
Traps
Piping system
Pumps
15. PUMPS
Machines delivering gases are
commonly called compressors or
blowers. Compressors discharge at
relatively high pressures, and blowers,
at relatively low pressures. The lower
density and viscosity of gases lead to
the use of higher operating speeds
and, to minimize leakage, smaller
clearance between moving parts.
17. CYLINDERS: IDENTIFICATION AND PROPERTIES
Read the label to see what gas you are dealing with and double check tha the cylinder/gas is right for th
eintended use
No compressed gas cylinder should be accepted for use that does not legibly identify its contents by name
If the labeling on a cylinder becomes unclear or an attached tag is defaced to the point the contents
cannot be identified, the cylinder should be marked "contents unknown" and returned directly to the
manufacturer
Never rely on the color of the cylinder for identification. Color coding is not reliable because cylinder
colors may vary with the supplier. Additionally, labels on caps have little value because caps are
interchangeable
If there is a mismatch between the color of a cylinder and the label. Do not use, contact the supplier
immediately
Know the properties of the gas (read Material Safety Data Sheets available from your Supervisor)
The cylinder’s contents should be identified at all times as well as the cylinder status (full, empty or in
service)
18. CYLINDERS: WORK PRACTICE
Read the label to see what gas you are dealing with and double check tha the cylinder/gas is right for th eintended use
No compressed gas cylinder should be accepted for use that does not legibly identify its contents by name
If the labeling on a cylinder becomes unclear or an attached tag is defaced to the point the contents cannot be identified, the cylinder should be marked
"contents unknown" and returned directly to the manufacturer
Never rely on the color of the cylinder for identification. Color coding is not reliable because cylinder colors may vary with the supplier. Additionally, labels on
caps have little value because caps are interchangeable
If there is a Securely restrain cylinders to prevent them falling over
Close the cylinder valve and replace dust caps when cylinder not in use
Before connecting a gas cylinder to equipment or pipework make sure regulator and pipework are suitable for the gas and pressure being used
Never drop a gas cylinder
Never tamper with cylinders or subject them to abnormal mechanical shocks which could damage the valve or safety device
Never re-paint, change markings or identification or interfere with threads
Never disguise damage to a cylinder or valve. Label as faulty and contact the supplier
Never attempt to repair a cylinder
Never scrap a cylinder
Never subject cylinders to abnormally high or low temperatures
Never mix gases in a cylinder
Never try to refill a cylinder unless properly trained to do so
Never transport by rolling them on the ground or use them as rollers or supports
Never pick them up by magnetic lifting
Never subject to abnormal mechanical shocks whuch could damage the valve or safety device
Know the properties of the gas (read Material Safety Data Sheets available from your Supervisor)
The cylinder’s contents should be identified at all times as well as the cylinder status (full, empty or in service)
20. GAS CYLINDER REGULATORS
A regulator is a device that receives gas at a high pressure and reduces it to
a much lower working pressure
Precision instruments and MUST be handled with care to avoid damage to
their sensitive springs, diaphragms, valve seals etc.
Equipment should display the relevant European/British Standard number
and the pressures up to which it can operate
Leave the pressure adjustment knob/screw fully out when the regulator is not
in use (this ensures a minimum of tension on the springs and diaphragms)
Cylinders should be placed with the valve accessible at all times. The main
cylinder valve should be closed as soon as it is no longer necessary that it be
open, it should never be left open when the equipment is unattended or not
operating
This is necessary not only for safety when the cylinder is under pressure, but
also to prevent the corrosion and contamination resulting from diffusion of air
and moisture into the cylinder after it has been emptied.
21. HOSES
Correct hose bore size, pressure rating, length and color coding are essential for safety BS EN 559
Blue – oxygen, Red - acetylene and other fuel gases(except LPG)
Black – inert and non combustible gases
Orange – Liquified Petroleum Gas
Never use hoses that are longer than necessary
Never use equipment while hoses are wrapped around the cylinders or trolley
Length of hose should be suitable for the task
Keep hoses in good condition
Examine the hose for cracks, deterioration, damage and test the hose for leaks before use
Do not repair hoses unless you have the skill and means to test hem in accordance with BS En 1256
Purge hose thoroughly before lighting torch
Do not put wrapping tape around hosing as this contains combustible hydrocarbons
Do not use copper piping with acetylene hoses as it is potentially explosive
Protect hosing from heat, oil, grease or mechanical damage
22. PIPES
The many pharmaceutical processes that involve the transfer of a gases confer great importance on the study
of flow in pipes.
23. PIPES
Distribution lines and their outlets should be clearly labeled as to the type of gas contained
Piping systems should be inspected for leaks on a regular basis
Special attention should be given to fittings as well as possible cracks that may have
developed
24. STEM TRAPS
Steam trap is a type of automatic valve that filters out condensate (i.e. condensed steam) and non-
condensable gases such as air without letting steam escape.
If condensate is not drained immediately or trapped from the system, it reduces operating efficiency by
slowing the heat transfer process and can cause physical damage
25. STEM TRAPS
The job of the steam trap is to get condensate, air and Co2 out of the steam heated unit as fast as they
accumulate. In addition, for overall efficiency and economy, the trap must also have following design and
operating consideration
Minimum steam loss
Long life and dependable service
Corrosion resistance
Air venting
CO2 venting at steam temperature
26. STEM TRAPS
Types Mechanical traps operate by using the difference in density
between steam and condensate. A float within the trap detects the
variance in weight between a gas and a liquid.
Thermostatic traps detect the variation in temperature between steam
and condensate at the same pressure. The sensing device operates
the valve in response to changes in the condensate temperature and
pressure. Thermodynamic Traps use volumetric and pressure
differences that occur when water changes state into gas. These
changes act upon the valve directly
27. HANDLING GAS CYLINDERS
Wear PPE: gloves, protective footwear, eye protection
Correct way to move cylinders is to: keep upright, secure and with valves uppermost
Use mechanical aids such as a trolley where reasonably practicable( do a risk assessment)
Use suitable cradles, slings, clamps or other effective means when lifting with a hoist or crane
For short distances on even ground the practice of ‘milk-churning’ (manually moving cylinders) can be
used only by trained personnel and never for longer distances, in uneven ground, wet or icy conditions,
poor lighting, or at speed a trolley should be used
All personnel involved should have completed manual handling training
Never roll cylinders along the ground
Never transport cylinder with valve and pressure regulator attached or with the valve open
Never attempt to catch a falling cylinder just get out of the way
Never lift a cylinder by its cap, valve or guard/shroud
28. TRANSPORTING CYLINDERS
If possible carry in open vehicles or trailers
If they must be carried in closed vans/cars ensure good ventilation at all times
If the load compartment is not separated from the driver do not carry toxic gas cylinders (those with a
toxic gas label and having yellow as a colour on the cylinder)
Secure cylinders properly so they cannot move or fall in transit or do not project beyond the edges of the
vehicle, normally in the upright position unless instructions for transport state otherwise
Ensure gas cylinders are clearly labelled to show contents and associated hazards
Fit suitable protective valve caps and covers to cylinders
29. TRANSPORTING CYLINDERS
Disconnect hoses and regulators from cylinders
Carry propane cylinders upright and do not carry flammable gas cylinders in the same compartment as
toxic gas cylinders
Do not smoke while carrying cylinders inside vans/cars
Unload the cylinders as soon as possible and move to a well ventilated storage area
If you suspect it is leaking, park the vehicle, investigate the fault and contact the supplier
If you are involved in an accident advise, any emergency services involved what gas cylinders are being
carried
30. SAFE STORAGE
It is best to store gas cylinders in the open and on concrete in a fenced compound
with some weather protection
In storage areas oxygen cylinders must be stored at least 3 metres
away/separated by a fire wall from fuel gases such as acetylene, propane,
methane etc.
Full cylinders should be stored separately from empties and empty oxygen
cylinders should be segregated from empty fuel gas cylinders
Other products should not be stored in the gas storage areas especially not oil or
corrosive liquids, sources of ignition or flammable materials
Ease of access into and around storage area, such as provision of aisle >0.6m to
prevent domino effect
31. SAFE STORAGE
LPG cylinders have special requirements including storage 3m away from other
gases
Pyrophoric and toxic gases should be stored seperately in locked, suitable
ventilated storage areas with restricted access
Protect gas cylinders from external heat sources which may adversely affect their
mechanical integrity
Cylinders should be secured and properly restrained, secure with straps or
chains connected to a wall bracket or other fixed surface, or by use of a cylinder
stand
Cylinders should be clearly labelled to show contents and associated hazards
