Digital Marketing and Social Media Platforms Used By Pharma CompaniesMOHAMMED FAHEEM KHAN
Digital platforms can effectively connect healthcare professionals, patients, and sales teams during the pandemic. Several pharmaceutical companies have launched apps to enable teleconsultations between doctors and patients. Mankind Pharma's Drona app allows doctors to easily connect with patients for online consultations. Zydus Cadila partnered with Remedo to introduce a teleconsultation app for doctors and patients. Sun Pharma launched the Respitrack app to help doctors track asthma patients' treatment progress and medication adherence.
Digital technologies are rapidly transforming the pharmaceutical industry and how healthcare is delivered. To stay competitive, Indian pharmaceutical companies must digitize how they connect with doctors and patients. This can help with medication adherence, educating patients, and reaching rural markets. Non-adherence costs pharmaceutical companies on average 36% of potential drug sales. Ayukrt is introducing a digital platform in India to improve relationships between patients, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies by providing reminders, education and personalized communications to motivate patients and build loyalty. The platform aims to enhance sales, improve healthcare quality and reach rural areas through multilingual messaging.
The project “Microcontroller based Pill Reminder” at the title suggests is aimed to build a system that reminds the patient of which medicine is to be taken and dosage of that medicine.
General objectives of the project are:
• To make patient remember when to take medicine through alarm.
• If medicine is not taken on time SMS will be sent to care taker of patient that patient has not taken medicine on prescribed time.
• To eliminate the need of remembering which medicine should be taken and on which time.
• Easy to use for old patients, Alzheimer patients.
The document outlines the development of a medication reminder app called Meminder. Initial research found that baby boomers take multiple medications daily and often forget doses. Existing apps were analyzed, finding features like medication input, reminders, and reporting basic. User interviews revealed forgetfulness during the day and a need for medication interaction alerts. An MVP would focus on medication reminders, autocomplete search, barcode scanning, and interaction alerts. Paper prototyping identified navigation issues. Further iterations added onboarding screens, refined icons and navigation, and improved input fields and conflict alerts based on user testing feedback.
Recently, the healthcare industry has faced unprecedented challenges and must adapt. use of AI in healthcare & medicine is one of the answers. It offers innovative solutions that simplify some healthcare business processes during challenging times.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
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.

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.
