These are a class of antibiotics having a nucleus of four cyclic rings. The tetracyclines are primarily bacteriostatic; inhibit protein synthesis by binding to 30S ribosomes in susceptible organism.
Subsequent to such binding, attachment
of aminoacyl-t-RNA to the acceptor (A) site of
mRNA-ribosome complex. The carrier involved
in active transport of tetracyclines is absent in
the host cells. Moreover, protein synthesizing
apparatus of host cells is less susceptible to
tetracyclines. These two factors are responsible
for the selective toxicity of tetracyclines for
the microbes.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
2. INTRODUCTION:
• Naphthacene derivatives, made up by fusion of four
partially unsaturated cyclohexane radicals
• crystalline bases of these compounds are pale yellow,
slightly bitter and sparingly soluble in water.
• They form water soluble sodium salts. Hydrochloride
derivatives are even more soluble
• Are more stable at acid pH.
3. Historical Aspects:
• Systematic screening of a multitude of soil microorganisms
for potential antibiotic activity by the American
Pharmaceutical Industry resulted in the discovery of
tetracyclines.
• The first member chlortetracycline, isolated from
Streptomyces aureofaciens was introduced in 1948,
followed by oxytetracycline derived from Streptomyces
rimosus in 1950
• In the year 1953 tetracycline was prepared by catalytic
hydrogenation of chlortetracycline.
• Since then other semi-synthetic tetracyclines have been
introduced
4. Problems with older tetracyclines:
• Tetracycline resistance: This has been demonstrated by
many organisms including Staphylococci, Group A
Streptococci, H. influenzae, Pneumococci, and E. coli.
• Resistance may develop through several mechanisms and
can be passed from one organism to another by transfer of
plasmids called R-factors that contain genetic information for
the development of resistance.
• In resistant organisms, accumulation of the drug is absent.
• Promiscuous and often indiscriminate use has gradually
narrowed the field of their usefulness
5. Adverse reactions
Allergy
Photosensitivity
GI tract
Superinfections
Pseudomembranous colitis
Teeth and bones
Antianabolic effects
Liver
Kidney
Benign intracranial hypertension
Miscellaneous: local thrombosis/Jarish Herxheimer reaction/
peptic ulcers/steatorrhea and vitamin K deficeincy
6. Need for newer tetracyclines:
• The subsequently developed members have high lipid
solubility, greater potency
• Intestinal absorption is unaffected by presence of food
• Minimal alteration of intestinal flora therefore problem of
superinfection is minimized.
• Longer half-lives so frequency of dosing reduced and
ensures better compliance.
• Incidence of adverse effects- minimum

9. ADME of Tetracyclines:
Absorption:
• Form insoluble complexes by chelation with calcium,
magnesium and aluminium and hence, substances like milk that
contain calcium, and antacids reduce their absorption. Ingestion
of food and iron interferes with their absorption.
• mainly absorbed from the duodenum and the upper small
Intestine
Distribution
• peak plasma level is reached within 3 to 4 hours so administered
at 6 hourly intervals in order to maintain their therapeutic plasma
concentration
• IM- produce peak plasma levels within 1 hour and adequate
levels are maintained for 12 hours
• concentrated in liver, bone marrow, enamel of unerupted teeth
and lungs.
• They cross the placental barrier and are also secreted in milk.
Their concentration in the ocular fluids is poor.
10. Metabolism:
• Metabolised in the liver
• Concentrations in the bile are 5-20 times those in the plasma as
they undergo enterohepatic circulation
Excretion:
• metabolites excreted mainly in the
urine by glomerular filtration. In anuria, the plasma t½ of
tetracycline is 4 to 5 days and
that of oxytetracycline 2 to 3 days
• Doxycycline and minocycline are eliminated by non-renal route
12. Properties:
Physical properties:
• The crystalline bases of these compounds are pale
yellow, slightly bitter and sparingly soluble in water.
• However, they form water soluble sodium salts.
• Tetracyclines are more stable at acid pH
13. Chemical properties and interactions:
•They are tetracene derivative and interacts with the other
compounds in the following ways:
oChelates bi/tri-valent ions like Ca2+,Mg2+,Fe3+,Zn2+,Al3+ and
and forms insoluble complexes milk and products, antacids
and cathartics containing ions with subsequent reduction in
bioavailability
oInterferes with bactericidal action of Penicillin
o Enzyme inducers like Phenytoin, carbamazepine,
barbiturates decreases the half life of tetracyclines.
oPotentiates anti-coagulant action of coumarin derivatives
like warfarin.
14. Uses:
I)Empirical:
• When nature and sensitivity of infecting organism is not known, in
cases of mixed infection. However in serious infections they are
avoided.
II) Drug of first choice in:
1.Venereal diseases:
a)Chlamydial nonspecific urethritis/endocervicitis
b)Lymphogranuloma venereum c) Granuloma inguinale
2.Atypical Pneumonia due to M.Pneumonia and psittacosis
3) Cholera
4)Brucellosis
15. Uses:
5) Plague
6) Relapsing fever
7)Rickettsia infections
III) Drug of second choice in place of:
1)penicillin/ampicillin for tetanus/anthrax/actinomycosis and
listeria infection
2) ceftriaxone, amoxicillin or azithromycin for gonorrhoea,
especially for penicillin resistant non-PPNG; also in patients allergic
to penicillin.
3)Ceftriaxone for syphilis in patients allergic to penicillin
4) Penicillin for leptospirosis; doxycycline 100 mg BD for 7 days is
curative. Weekly doxycycline (200 mg) as prophylaxis.
16. Uses:
5) Azithromycin for pneumonia due to Chlamydia pneumoniae
6) Ceftriaxone/azithromycin for chancroid
7) Streptomycin for tularemia
IV) Other infective conditions:
1) Urinary tract infections
2) Community-acquired pneumonia,
3) Amoebiasis
4) adjuvant to quinine or artesunate for chloroquine-resistant P.
falciparum malaria
5) Acne vulgaris
6) Propionibacterium acnes
7) Chronic obstructive lung disease
17. Conclusion:
Tetracyclines are broad spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotics.
However in order to tackle the problems of drug resistance and
superinfection, highly judicious use is advocated limiting its use
to treat infections where highly selective and less toxic anti-
microbial agents are not available.
Although with the availability of semi-synthetic and synthetic
derivatives the utility of tetracyclines has increased, however the
limitations still exists for e.g. when used in treatment of hospital
acquired/ventilator-associated chest infections, mortality was
found to be higher in a comparative trial,in tigecycline group than
in the comparator group.
Editor's Notes
• Allergy: Skin rashestopical application
-Photosensitivity marked erythema ,vesicular exanthema. A brown-black discolouration of nails /marked loosening
• GI tract: Nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress and loose stools.Nausea and vomiting may be prevented by taking these drugs after meals. Mild
diarrhoea appears to be dose-dependent and is more common following daily doses over
2 g.
Diarrhoea secondary to irritation is not accompanied by RBCs or pus cells in feces, and can thus be differentiated from serious diarrhoea secondary to GI superinfection.
• Superinfection: Suppression of the normal intestinal flora with resultant superinfection is liable to occur after prolonged tetracycline therapy, particularly in patients with
diabetes mellitus, leukemia or leucopenia and in those on steroid therapy.
-Infection with Candida albicans is especially common and may cause diarrhoea or soft, bulky, odourless stools, soreness and redness of the mouth (thrush), glossitis, black
hairy tongue and inflammatory lesions of the vulva, vagina and perianal region causing pruritus. Nystatin is effective locally in oropharyngeal, vaginal and perineal lesions.
-Superinfection with resistant S. aureus occurs more frequently in hospitalised patients. Serious staphylococcal enteritis is heralded by sudden loss of appetite, abdominal
discomfort, distension and a profuse watery diarrhoea; the stools show the presence of blood. It carries a mortality rate of 40%. Immediate stoppage of tetracyclines, institution of appropriate antibiotic therapy and correction of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance are recommended.
-Pseudomembranous colitis characterised by profuse diarrhoea and fever may occur due to superinfection with Clostridium difficile. The stools contain shreds of mucous
membrane and blood.
• Teeth and bones: Tetracyclines chelate calcium, forming a tetracycline-orthophosphate complex and are deposited in areas of calcification in bones and teeth. Administration of these antibiotics to pregnant women may lead to yellow staining of the teeth of the infant; defective formation of enamel and hypoplasia of the teeth may also occur.
-Pigmentation of permanent teeth and increased risk of caries may occur in children.
-Even a short course given after the 14th week of pregnancy can be damaging.
Tetracyclines administered during pregnancy are deposited in foetal bones and may
reduce their linear growth. They should also be avoided in infants and in children upto the age of 12 years. They are also deposited in nails, which may cause nails to fluoresce.
• Antianabolic effect:
• Liver: Fatal hepatic dysfunction with pancreatitis may occur in patients receiving large doses of tetracyclines over short periods, particularly by IV route. Such patients develop jaundice, azotemia and coma. Pregnancy, hepatic damage, renal impairment and concurrent use of other hepatotoxic drugs may enhance the hepatotoxic action.
• Kidney: In patients with significant renal impairment, tetracyclines may cause an aggravation of azotemia and exaggerated antianabolic effect.
A reversible ‘Fanconi-like’ syndrome, characterised by nausea, vomiting, proteinuria, glycosuria, acidosis and aminoaciduria may develop after ingestion of outdated
tetracycline capsules. It is attributed to a degradation product, epianhydrotetracyclinechange of colour from yellow to brown.
• Benign intracranial hypertension: Some patients may develop increased intracranial pressure. This causes bulging of the anterior fontanelle in infants and headache,
photophobia and papilloedema in adults.
• Miscellaneous: IV tetracyclines may cause local thrombosis.
-Jarish-Herxheimer reaction has been reported very rarely following IV tetracycline. It is
characterised by sudden rise of temperature, rigors, hypertension, hyperventilation and
tachycardia, followed by hypotension.
-Uremic patients may develop peptic ulcers. Tetracyclines have been observed to inhibit
urease of gastric mucosa which breaks down urea into ammonia. Ammonia serves to
reduce gastric acidity and hence, lowering of ammonia concentration by tetracyclines may
lead to hyperacidity with ulceration.
Steatorrhea and deficiency of vitamin K may occur after prolonged tetracycline therapy
Chlortetracycline, Methacycline, Rolitetracycline, Lymecycline are no longer commercially available
-Doxycycline: children more than 8 years of age, the dose is 4.4 mg/kg/d in two divided doses the
first day, then 2.2 mg/kg given once or twice daily.
-Demeclocycline aka Demethylchlorotetracycline: Diabetes insipidus through ADH antagonism
-Tigecycline: intestinal absorption is poor so given only IV as infusionlow plasma protein binding with high volume of distribution(7 l/kg)
Bile eliminated so dose need not be adjusted in renal failure
The glycyclamide moiety confers ability to overcome resistance
Tigecycline: no activity against pseudomonas/ providencia/ proteus
$:Stenotrophomonas and Ureaplasma: where other tetracycline are more effective than tigecycline
Doxycycline: least hepatotoxic
Special uses:
1) irritative effect of tetracyclines has been used therapeutically in patients with malignant pleural effusions
The messenger RNA (mRNA) attaches to the 30S ribosome. The initiation complex of mRNA starts protein synthesis and polysome formation. The nascent peptide chain is attached to the peptidyl (P) site of the 50S ribosome. The next amino acid (a) is transported to the acceptor (A) site of the ribosome by its specific tRNA which is complementary to the base sequence of the next mRNA codon (C). The nascent peptide chain is transferred to the newly attached amino acid by peptide bond formation. The elongated peptide chain is shifted back from the ‘A’ to the ‘P’ site and the ribosome moves along the mRNA to expose the next codon for amino acid attachment. Finally the process is terminated by the termination complex and the protein is released. (1) Aminoglycosides bind to several sites at 30S and 50S subunits as well as to their interface—freeze initiation, interfere with polysome formation and cause misreading of mRNA code. (2) Tetracyclines bind to 30S ribosome and inhibit aminoacyl tRNA attachment to the ‘A’ site. (3) Chloramphenicol binds to 50S subunit—interferes with peptide bond formation and transfer of peptide chain from ‘P’site. (4) Erythromycin and clindamycin also bind to 50S ribosome and hinder translocation of the elongated peptide chain back from ‘A’ site to ‘P’ site and the ribosome does not move along the mRNA to expose the next codon. Peptide synthesis may be prematurely terminated
Fanconi syndrome: (characterized
by nausea, vomiting, polyuria, polydipsia, proteinuria, acidosis,
glycosuria, and aminoaciduria.
Fanconis anemia: genetic disorder/BM failure/birth defects(arms and thumbs/ears/eyes)+CHD/kidney/skin discoloration
