Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

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!

2. Course outline
• Scientific basis of medical genetics
• Clinical application of medical genetics
• The human genome
• DNA analysis
• Chromosomes
• Typical mendalian inheritance
• Atypical mendalian inherittance
• Non-mendalain inheritance
• Classification of genetic disoreders
• Some examples of genetic diseases
3. • Medical genetics is the science of human
biological variation as it relates to health and
disease.
• Medical genetics is the specialty of medicine
that involves the diagnosis and management
of hereditary disorders, i.e. it refers to the
application of genetics to medical care.
4. • Genetics is the study of biologically inherited
traits determined by elements of heredity that
are transmitted from parents to offspring in
reproduction.
• These inherited elements are called genes.
• Genomics is the latest advance in the study of
the chemical nature of genes and the ways
that genes function to affect certain traits.
5. Scientific basis of medical genetics
Chromosomal basis of inheritance
• In 1839, Schleiden and Schwann established
the concept of cells as the fundamental living
units.
• Hereditary transmission through the sperm
and egg was known by 1860, and in 1868,
Haeckel, noting that the sperm was largely
nuclear material, postulated that the nucleus
was responsible for heredity.
6. • Flemming identified chromosomes within the
nucleus in 1882.
• Thus, the chromosomes were discovered to
carry the genes. However, at that time,
although the chromosomes were known to
consist of protein and nucleic acid, it was not
clear which component was the hereditary
material.
7. Chemical basis of inheritance
• Griffith proved that nucleic acid was the
transforming agent and led to the discovery of
chemical basis of inheritance which is DNA.
8. Chromosomal disorders
• Tjio and Levan, in 1956 showed the normal
human chromosome number to be 46.
• In 1959, the first chromosomal disease in
humans, trisomy 21, was discovered by
Lejeune and colleagues, and by 1970, over 20
different human chromosomal disorders were
known.
9. • The development of chromosomal banding in
1970 markedly increased the ability to resolve
small chromosomal aberrations, and so by
1990 more than 600 different chromosome
abnormalities had been described, in addition
to many normal variants.
10. Mitochondrial disorders
• Mitochondria have their own chromosomes
and these are passed on from a mother to all
of her children but not from the father.
• These chromosomes are different in several
respects from their nuclear counterparts.
11. • For instance, they contain only 37 genes, a
high and variable number of DNA copies per
cell, very little non - coding DNA and no
introns.
• Mutations in genes on these mitochondrial
chromosomes can cause disease and this was
first shown in 1988 for a maternally inherited
type of blindness (Leber optic neuropathy).
12. • Since then, it has been shown that many
different mitochondrial mutations, including
point mutations, deletions and duplications,
alone or in combination, can result in a variety
of different disorders.
13. Single - gene disorders
• In 1902, Garrod presented his studies on
alkaptonuria, a rare condition in which patients
have urine that darkens on standing and arthritis.
• He found three of 11 sets of parents of affected
patients to be blood relatives and, in
collaboration with Bateson, proposed that this
was a Mendelian recessive trait with affected
persons homozygous for the underactive gene.
• This was the first disease to be interpreted as a
single - gene trait.
14. • Th ere followed numerous descriptions of
distinct human single - gene traits and at the
present time more than 7,000 human single -
gene traits are known
• In 1948, Gibson demonstrated the first
enzyme defect in an autosomal recessive
condition (NADH - dependent
methaemoglobin reductase in
methaemoglobinaemia).
15. • The specific biochemical abnormalities in over
400 inborn errors of metabolism have now
been determined
16. Multifactorial ( part - genetic)
disorders
• human characteristics such as intelligence and
physique, which did not seem to conform to
Mendel ’ s laws of inheritance
• such inheritance could be explained by
multiple pairs of genes, each with a small but
additive effect.
• Usually factors in the environment interact
with the genetic background
Editor's Notes
Although people have long been aware that individuals differ, that children tend to resemble their parents and that certain diseases tend to run in families, the scientific basis for these observations was only discovered during the past 140 years.
