Antihypertensive drugs
The document discusses the heart and hypertension. It defines normal blood pressure and describes the types and causes of hypertension. Hypertension usually has no symptoms, but can sometimes cause headaches, confusion or vision changes. Untreated hypertension can damage blood vessels and the heart over time, so treatment is important even in asymptomatic cases. Treatment includes diuretics, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and other drugs that work to lower blood pressure by various mechanisms.
Drugs used in hypertension
Hypertension is defined as a sustained high blood pressure that makes the heart work harder to pump blood through the arteries. It has two main components: systolic and diastolic blood pressure. There are several classes of drugs used to treat hypertension, including diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and alpha blockers. Lifestyle changes such as exercise, weight loss, reducing salt and alcohol intake, and quitting smoking can also help control blood pressure. The goals of treatment are to prevent complications like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease.
Antihypertensives drugs
The document classifies drugs used to treat hypertension into 9 categories based on their mechanisms of action. These categories include drugs that act centrally, on autonomic ganglia, on postganglionic sympathetic nerve endings, on adrenergic receptors, directly on vascular smooth muscle, as potassium channel activators, by blocking the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, oral diuretics, and miscellaneous drugs. Examples are provided for each category of antihypertensive drugs.

Fluid and electrolytes
Here are the key steps in approaching hypokalemia:
1. Determine if the hypokalemia is caused by redistribution or depletion. Redistribution occurs with insulin, beta-agonists, alkalosis etc. and replacement may cause overshoot hyperkalemia. Depletion is more common, due to GI losses, diuretics, medications etc.
2. Estimate the potassium deficit based on how low the serum potassium is. A deficit of 100-250 mEq is suggested for levels of 3.5-3 mEq/L.
3. Choose oral replacement whenever possible over IV, as oral is safer and better tolerated. Only use IV if patient cannot take oral or deficit is severe.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. “Psychiatry and the Humanities”: An Innovative Course at the University of Mo...

M.pharm - 1st year .biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Lab 7 Discussion: Group 4
- 1. Group 4 Presentation 14 May 2014
- 2. Question 4 • Present the Na+ clearance for your test subjects. • What changes in Na+ clearance would you expect to see for each of these subjects? • How can you determine whether Na+ was secreted or absorbed? • How does the body compensate for reduced body Na+? • How does the body compensate for elevated Na+?
- 5. What changes in Na+ clearance would you expect to see for each of these subjects? • CONTROL SUBJECT • Consumed no liquids during the lab. • Results in no change to plasma volume. • Results in no change to plasma osmolarity. • Na+ clearance should remain constant or slightly decrease over time. • No receptors are intensely activated. • A slight decrease may be observed as the subject continues urinating without rehydrating, resulting in mild decrease of blood plasma volume and subsequent brief activation of volume receptors. • This causes slightly more renin production, thus slightly more aldosterone production and ultimately a slightly higher level of Na+ reabsorption.
- 6. What changes in Na+ clearance would you expect to see for each of these subjects? • HYPOTONIC SUBJECT • Consumed 14 mL of water per kilogram of body mass. • Results in plasma volume increase. • Results in plasma osmolarity decrease. • Na+ clearance should increase greatly over time. • Increase should be highest among all the subjects. • Osmoreceptors and volume receptors both activated in response to change in osmotic pressure and fluid balance, respectively. • Osmoreceptors will decrease vasopressin release from the posterior pituitary gland, resulting in less water retention. • Volume receptors will decrease renin production, which decreases aldosterone production, which results in a decrease in Na+ reabsorption.
- 7. What changes in Na+ clearance would you expect to see for each of these subjects? • ISOTONIC SUBJECT • Consumed 14 mL of isotonic saline solution per kilogram of body mass. • Results in plasma volume increase. • Results in no change to plasma osmolarity. • Na+ clearance should increase over time. • Only volume receptor is affected in this subject, not osmoreceptors. • This subject’s blood plasma has the same osmolarity as the solution. • Volume receptor will decrease production of renin, which decreases production of aldosterone, which results in less Na+ reabsorption. • Vasopressin levels decrease only due to volume receptors. • Magnitude of effect is not as intense as the hypotonic subject. • Water reabsorption does decrease, but not as much.
- 8. What changes in Na+ clearance would you expect to see for each of these subjects? • ALKALOSIS SUBJECT • Consumed 2 mL of sodium bicarbonate solution per kilogram of body mass. • Results in plasma volume increase. • Results in no change to plasma osmolarity. • Na+ clearance should increase over time. • Similar receptor response as the isotonic subject.
- 10. How does the body compensate… ..for reduced body Na+? • Hyponatremia (<135 mEq/L) • Renin-Angiotension-Aldosterone complex reduces production of vasopressin and induces production of aldosterone, leading to increased Na+ reabsorption. • Decreases plasma volume and increases Na+ concentration to normal range. …for elevated body Na+? • Hypernatremia (>145 mEq/L) • Angiotensin II induces production of vasopressin and increases water reabsorption. • This increases plasma volume and restores Na+ concentration to normal range. • Also causes feeling of thirst to increase water in the body.
- 11. Homeostasis System 1. Perfusion changes in juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney causes renin release. 2. Renin cleaves angiotensinogen into angiotensin I. 3. Angiotensin-converting enzyme converts angiotensin I to II. 4. Angiotensin II induces aldosterone release and increased Na+ reabsorption/vasopressin and sensation of thirst.
