Common causes include stressful life experiences, temperamental traits of shyness, a family history of mental illness, and some physical health conditions. Physiologically, anxiety disorders involve increased activity of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and decreased activity of GABA. Signs and symptoms include excessive worry, restlessness, panic attacks, and sleep problems. Diagnosis involves comparing a patient's reported symptoms to the DSM-5 criteria. Treatment typically begins with first-line medications targeting neurotransmitters, with other options available if needed.
Anxiety disorder (panic disorder)
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders, affecting nearly 30% of adults. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress but anxiety disorders involve excessive fear or anxiety. Anxiety disorders have various causes like genetics, personality traits, medical conditions, substance use, and stressful life events. Common anxiety disorders include panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and specific phobias. Treatment helps most people lead normal lives.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

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. Ageing, the Elderly, Gerontology and Public Health

- 5. PHARMACOTHERAPY:- • Benzodiazepines for ex. Alprazolam, clonazepam • Antidepressants • Beta blockers to control severe palpitation BEHAVIORAL THERAPY:- • Relaxation techniques (For coping) • Deep breathing exercise, which also reduce the risk of hyperventilation. • Progressive relaxation therapy • Positive verbalization & imagery guided (purposeful changement & promoting feelings of relaxation ) • Listening calming Music
- 6. Panic anxiety related to real or perceived to biological integrity or self concept, evidenced by various physical and psychological manifestation. Powerlessness related to impaired cognition , evidenced by verbal expression of lack of control over life situation and not participation in decision making.
- 7. Teaches the patient to replace negative thoughts with more realistic , positive ways of viewing the attacks. Help the patient to identify possible triggers for the panic attacks , such as a particular thought or situation. Help the patient to identify and evaluate the thoughts that precede anxiety and then restructures them to gain a more realistic perception.
