Diabetic management 2012
Effective diabetic management in the hospital can improve patient outcomes at home by treating patients appropriately, avoiding common mistakes like holding insulin inappropriately, and educating patients and families. Optimal control includes giving basal insulin as prescribed even when patients can't eat and supplementing hypoglycemia based on blood glucose levels rather than fear of low blood sugar. Educating patients empowers them to better manage their diabetes ongoing.

Perioperative Fasting.pptx
Preoperative fasting involves restricting food and fluid intake before general anesthesia or sedation to reduce the risks of pulmonary aspiration and vomiting of gastric contents. Guidelines recommend fasting from clear liquids for at least two hours and solid food for at least six hours before elective surgery. Exceptions are made for things like breast milk, medications, and certain patient groups who may need longer preoperative fasts. The aim of fasting is to help ensure patient safety during anesthesia by decreasing risks of pneumonia or death from inhalation of gastric contents.
Glucose Tolerance Test.ppt
An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measures a person's blood glucose levels both fasting and over several hours after drinking a sugary drink to test for prediabetes, diabetes, and other disorders. It involves fasting overnight, drinking the glucose solution, and having blood drawn at set intervals over 2-3 hours to check glucose and sometimes insulin levels against standards. Abnormal results could indicate conditions like diabetes, gestational diabetes, or thyroid/adrenal issues. Proper preparation and remaining still during the test is important for accurate results.
nutrition for nvp
Nutrition is important for managing nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Nausea affects 50-90% of pregnancies and is known as NVP. More severe cases are called hyperemesis gravidarum which is associated with weight loss. Treatment focuses on dietary changes like eating small, frequent meals and staying hydrated. For moderate NVP, medications like Vitamin B6, ginger, and antihistamines are recommended. Severe cases may require IV fluids and nutrition. While NVP usually improves by 18 weeks, it can negatively impact the mother and fetus if inadequately treated. Nutrition and medical intervention are essential for supporting the health of the mother and baby.

Tumor markers by Dr K Selvakumar
Tumor markers are substances produced by cancer cells or the body's response to cancer that can be detected in blood, urine, or tissue samples. They are not diagnostic on their own but provide information to screen for, diagnose, stage, monitor treatment and determine recurrence of cancer. Common tumor markers include CEA, CA19-9, CA125, PSA, and thyroglobulin which are used for cancers like colorectal, pancreatic, ovarian, prostate and thyroid cancers respectively. While helpful for cancer management, tumor marker levels can also be elevated in non-cancerous conditions so they must be interpreted in the overall clinical context.

Urine preservative
Urine is commonly used for diagnostic testing and monitoring disease. Proper collection and preservation of urine specimens is important to avoid preanalytical errors. There are various urine collection methods depending on the test and patient, including random, first morning, and timed collections. Preservatives like boric acid and hydrochloric acid are often used to maintain specimen stability, though some tests require no preservative. Careful instruction of patients and labeling of specimens is necessary when collecting 24-hour urine samples.
Journey with biochemistry
This document discusses various career options after completing an undergraduate degree in biochemistry. These include jobs in clinical laboratories, medical coding, clinical research, or pursuing further education. It notes that clinical laboratory jobs have immediate opportunities but low pay. Medical coding and clinical research are growing fields with several training programs. For further education, one can pursue a postgraduate degree part-time or full-time at colleges or universities. After postgraduation, options include jobs, research fellowships, or pursuing a Ph.D. The document provides more details on some of these options.
WESTGARD RULES
This document provides information on quality control and quality assurance in medical laboratories. It defines key terms like quality control, quality assurance, and quality assessment. It describes variables that can affect result quality and sources of errors. Random errors are unpredictable variations while systematic errors create biases. The document outlines Westgard rules, which are used to evaluate analytical runs and detect random and systematic errors. Steps for resolving quality control problems and minimum criteria for determining when results are out of control are also discussed.
Microalbuminuria
1. A urine albumin test detects small amounts of albumin in the urine and is used to screen for early kidney disease in people with diabetes or high blood pressure.
2. Measuring both albumin and creatinine in a random urine sample allows doctors to calculate an albumin/creatinine ratio, which more accurately determines how much albumin is escaping into the urine while accounting for urine concentration.
3. Small amounts of albumin in the urine, called microalbuminuria or albuminuria, can be an early sign of kidney damage occurring several years before significant problems arise.
Acid and base
The document discusses acid-base balance and imbalances in the body. It provides information on:
1) How pH is measured and the normal ranges for blood and extracellular fluid. Small changes in pH can disrupt enzyme function and electrolyte levels.
2) The body produces acids through metabolism that must be buffered or excreted. It uses three main mechanisms for this - buffers, respiration, and the kidneys.
3) Acid-base imbalances occur when pH falls outside the normal range of 7.35-7.45 and can be life-threatening. The body attempts to compensate but this may only be partial depending on the underlying cause.

Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

low birth weight presentation. Low birth weight (LBW) infant is defined as the one whose birth weight is less than 2500g irrespective of their gestational age. Premature birth and low birth weight(LBW) is still a serious problem in newborn. Causing high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. The nursing care provide to low birth weight babies is crucial in promoting their overall health and development. Through careful assessment, diagnosis,, planning, and evaluation plays a vital role in ensuring these vulnerable infants receive the specialize care they need. In India every third of the infant weight less than 2500g.
Birth period, socioeconomical status, nutritional and intrauterine environment are the factors influencing low birth weight
