The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

NSAIDS
1.
2. 1) None of them is steroid
2) All of them are analgesic-antipyretic and, barring paracetamol,
all are anti inflammatory
3) No CNS depression, respiratory depression & drug dependence
4) Act by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis except nimesulide &
nefopam
5. Tissue injured ↑synthesis of PGs
PGs
Mediators of inflammation
sensitise pain receptors at
nerve endings, lowering
pain threshold to stimuli
Excitability of spinal
neuron
Hyperalgesia
NSAIDs act by inhibit cyclo-oxygenase(COX) enzyme in
arachidonic acid cascade to prevent synthesis of prostanoids.
6. 1) COX1
constitutively expressed
Analgesic-antipyretic & antiplatelet aggregation effect
most of nonselective reversible inhibitor of COX have
selectivity for COX1
Housekiping function: gastric cytoprotection, haemostasis
Unwanted GI effect are result of COX1 inhibition
2) COX2
Inducible in inflammatory cells by inflammatory stimulus
(eg. Cytokine, TNFα)
Anti inflammatory action due to COX2 inhibition
Constitutively – brain, juxtaglomelural cells, foetus
3 types of COX
7. 3) COX3
In cerebral cortex & in heart
Involve in pain & fever, not in inflammation
Poor ability to inhibit COX1 in presence of peroxides which
are generated peripherally at inflammatory site, not in
hypothalamus
8. Aspirin inhibit COX irreversibly
• Return of COX activity depends on synthesis of fresh enzyme
Other NSAIDs are competitive & reversible inhibitor of COX
• Return of COX activity depends on their dissociation from the
enzyme
Nimesulide has strong oxygen free radical scavenging effect
which prevent further tissue damage.
• Also inhibit PAF synthesis, TNF-α release & metalloproteinase
activity in cartilage.
10. Prototype drug
aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid → salicylic acid
Aspirin
11.
12. • Relieves inflammatory, tissue injury related, connective tissue
& integumental pain
• But ineffective in severe visceral & ischaemic pain
Action: block pain sensitising mechanism induced by
bradykinin & TNF-α
• Central action- raise threshold of pain perception
• No sedation, tolerance or drug dependence
Uses: headache, backache, myalgia, joint pain, toothache,
pulled muscle, neuralgia, dysmenorrhoea, pain of cancer
metastases
Dose: 300-600 mg 6-8 hrly
Analgesia
13. Antipyretic action
• ↓ temperature in fever not normal body temperature
• Effective in fever of any origin(except heat stroke)
• Fever during infection & tissue injury produced by pyrogens
↓ PGE2 production
raise set point of temperature
Action: reduce PG synthesis & reset hypothalamic thermostat
14. Dose same as for analgesia
• But in acute rheumatic fever high dose 75-100mg/kg/day
(in divided dose) needed
• Dose reduction after 4-7 days
• Maintenance dose 50mg/kg/day for 2-3 week & withdrawal
gradually over next 2-3 weeks.
15. Anti inflammatory effect
Action: Inhibit vasodilator PGs - lesser vasodilation & oedema
• Inhibtion of chemotactic, growth factor prevent
• Stabililization of lysosomal membrane spread of
• ↑ resistance of connective tissue inflammation
• ↓free radical & superoxide production
Uses: higher dose 3-6 gm/day used for osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis
• Provide symptomatic relief but not affect disease progression
16. Inhibition of platelet aggregation
• NSAIDs inhibit both proaggregatory (TXA2) & antiaggregatory
(PGI2)
• In low dose irreversible inhibit TXA2 (because platelet lack
nuclei & can not synthesis COX)
↓
inhibit platelet aggregation
• High doses reverse beneficial effect by inhibiting PGI2.
17. Uses:
• 60-100mg/day → ↓ reinfarction in post MI patient
• ↓ risk of transient ischaemic attack, deep vein thrombosis,
pulmonary embolism, stroke
18. Relief in dysmenorrhoea
• Levels of PGE in menstrual flow & PGF2α in circulation are
raised in dysmenorrhoea
• Menstrual cramps occur due to intermittent ischaemia of
myometrium & ischaemia results due to PG induced uterine
contraction
• Aspirin decrease uterine PG to provide relief in
dysmenorrhoea & excessive flow may be normalized
19. Closure of ductus arteriosus
• During foetal circulation ductus arteriosus kept patent by
PGE2 & PGF2α
• Unknown mechanism switch off this synthesis at birth &
ductus closes
• When this fails to occur low dose aspirin bring this closure
Colonic & rectal cancer
• COX2 inhibitor more effective as colonic tumours express
large quantities of COX2
20. Pre-eclampsia - benefit by suppressing TXA2 production
Familial colonic polyposis - suppress polyp formation &
provide symptomatic relief
Niacin induced cutaneous flush & pruritus
• This probably is mediate through PG & it reduced by
premedication with low dose aspirin
To slow down cataract progression
• High dose aspirin protect lens protein against non enzymatic
glycosylation & carbamylation
21.
22. Gastric mucosal damage
Mechanism
• at analgesic dose
• PGE2 & PGI2 inhibit gastric acid secretion and stimulate
mucous & bicarbonate formation
• Aspirin inhibit COX1 & nulifies gastroprotective effect of PGs
• Also local ‘ion trapping’ of aspirin cause damage
Common side effects: dyspepsia, diarrhoea, nausea,
vomiting, gastric bleeding & necrosis and ulceration
COX2 inhibitors & paracetamol cause less damage
23. Metabolic effects
↑heat production
↑ cellular metabolism
↑utilization of glucose → hypoglycemia
At high dose central sympathetic stimulation
release Adr & corticosteroid
Hyperglycemia
Protein catabolism → negative nitrogen balance
Inhibit lipolysis → ↑ free fatty acid
24. At inflammatory dose:
Direct stimulation of respiratory centre
↓
CO2 wash out & ↓ PCO2
↓
Respiratory alkalosis
Compensatory renal mechanism → ↑HCO3 excretion
Still high dose:
respiratory depression
↓
accumulation of CO2 & ↑ PCO2 level
↓
respiratory acidosis
25. Increase in bleeding tendency
• Aspirin irreversibly inhibit TXA2 & interferes platelet aggregation
↓
Bleeding time prolonged (twice the normal value)
• Long term use ↓ synthesis of clotting factor(prothrombin)
Should be stopped 1 week before surgery
Hypersensitivity
• With inhibition of COX, consequent diversion of arachidonic acid to
lipoxygenase pathway
↓
↑ formation of leukotrines
Aspirin precipitates asthma, rhinitis, urticaria, angioneurotic
oedema
26. Effect on urilc acid excretion
• < 2 gm/day → ↓uric acid excretion
• 2-5 gm/day → no change
• > 5gm/day → ↑uric acid excretion
aspirin not suitable drug for gout
Renal effects
• impairment of renal blood flow & ↓ GFR
• Na & water retention → ↑ BP
• Papillary necrosis on habitual intake
This effects significant in→ CHF, hypovolaemia, hepatic
cirrhosis, renal disease
27. Analgesic nephropathy
• After years of heavy ingestion of analgesic (phenacetin)
• Papillary necrosis, tubular atrophy followed by renal fibrosis
• Urine concentrating ability lost & kidney shrink
Reye’s syndrome
• association between aspirin intake & Reye’s syndrome
• rare & fatal disorder in children
• Liver damage & encephalopathy when recovering from febrile
viral infection(chickenpox & influenza)
• Paracetamol preferred in fever of unknown origin in children
below 12 years
28. Salicylism
• At high dose (3-5 gm/day)
• Dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, reversible impairment of hearing &
vision,mental confusion, hyperventilation & electrolyte
imbalance
• Dose should be titerated
Acute salicylate poisoning
• Common in children
• Fatal dose in adult → 15-30 gm
• Vomiting, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, restlessness,
hypo/hyperglycemia, petechial haemorrhage, delirium,
hallucination, convulsion, coma, death due to respi failure
Symptomatic & supportive treatment
29. • sensitive to aspirin, in peptic ulcer, bleeding tendencies
• In children suffering from chicken pox or influenza
• Chronic liver disease – hepatic necrosis
• Diabetes, CHF patient
• Stop 1 week before elective surgery
• during pregnancy – low birth baby, prolonged labour, great
postpartum blood loss, premature closure of ductus
arteriosus
• Breastfeeding mothers

34. Uses
• Ibuprofen is used as a simple analgesic and
antipyretic
• Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis
• Soft tissue injuries, fractures, vasectomy,
tooth extraction, postpartum and
postoperatively
– Suppress pain & inflammation
35. • Safest; Weak anti-inflammatory
• Prevent irreversible COX inhibition by aspirin; by occupying
serine residue of COX1 & prevent its acetylation by aspirin
• Antiplatelet action short lasting
• Antagonizes antiplatelet & cardioprotection of aspirin
• S/E: hypersensitivity, blurred vision, thrombocytopenia
• Dose: 400mg TDS
• More effective than ibuprofen; more gastric side effect
• Use: ocular inflammation
• Dose: 50-100mg TDS
Ibuprofen
Flurbiprofen
42. • Less gastric mucosal damage
• Less occurance of Peptic ulcer & ulcer bleeding
Not suppress TXA2 production
No inhibition of no prolonged
platelet aggregation bleeding time
prothrombotic effect on long term use
(devoid of cardioprotection)
• ↓ production of PGI2

47. banned due to analgesic abuse nephropathy
o acetaminophen
o Deethylated metabolite of phenacetin
o Most commonly used non narcotic, analgesic-antipyretic agent
with negligible anti inflammatory action
o act by inhibiting COX3, raise pain threshold
NO → stimulate respiration or affect acid-base balance
→ gastric mucosal damage
→ effect on platelet aggregation
→ uricosuric action
Phenacetin
Paracetamol
48. Uses
o Mild-moderate pain → headache, myalgia, postpartum,
migraine, dysmenorrhoea,Osteoarthritis
o Ineffective where inflammation prominent(eg. RA)
o Best antipyretic,specially in children(no risk of reye’s syndrome)
o Much safer then aspirin, used in patient who are allergic to
aspirin
Dose: 325-600mg TDS
49. Adverse effect
Safe & well tolerated but nausea, skin rashes, reversible mild
↑in hepatic enzyme rarely
Acute paracetamol poisoning
• Children- less glucuronide capacity
• Adult- hepatic impairment or chronic alcoholics
• Fatal dose - >250mg/day
50. major glucuronide or sulfate
conjugation
minor
N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine
glucuronidation capacity saturated &
more metabolites formed
binds covalently to protein in liver & kidney cells → cell death
Paracetamol
Toxic dose of Paracetamol
51. Menifestation:
• 1st 2 days gastric distress
• After 12-36 hrs →↑ transaminase level
• Within 2-4 days→ Rt subcostal pain, hepatomegaly, jaundice
• Hepatic encephalopathy or worsoning of coagulation → poor
prognosis
52. Treatment:
• Vomiting should be induced or gastric lavage
• Activated charcol
• Supportive treatment
• Specific → N-acetylcysteine
– replenishes glutathione store & prevent binding of
metabolite to cellular protein
• Dose:150 mg/kg i.v. over 15 min, same dose i.v. over next 20
hours
• Ineffective → 16 hrs or more after paracetamol ingestion
Editor's Notes
From any cause
Always present in most of the cells
pharmacological action & therapeutic uses:
But not stroke in post MI pt. urinary metabolites of TXA2 increase in pt who had MI bcz synthesis of TXA2 from cells like monocyte & eosinophil continue. So clinician prefer moderate dose of aspirin 325mg/day in MI
Aspirin weak acid, remain unionised at gastric acid juice & enter gastric mucosal cells by passive diffusion then ionised & indiffusible → local back diffusion of acid & aspirin trapped. This increases gastric toxicities
Normal acid base balance
External cooling, i.v. fluid, gastric lavage, alkaline diuresis or haemodialysis
because active drug produce in tissue after absorption
Weakly inhibitor of PG synthesis, Moderately COX2 inhibitor
Sports injury, ent disorder, dental surgery, dysmenorrhoea, osteoarthritis; not produce bronchospasm
Metabolised by CYP2C9
Add reason for lack of antiinflammatory action
DCGI approved 325mg/tab
: alcoholics- enzyme induction (CYP2E1) metabolise PCM to NAPQI
Also cause pancytopenia , methhaemoglobinemia
Reacts with SH group of glutathione eliminate rapidly
