We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
2. INTRODUCTION
• Personalized medicine (PM) or ‘the right medicine
for right patient’ has long been considered as the
next step and highest safety margin to ensure
better and effective patient care.
• By enabling each patient to receive earlier
diagnosis, risk assessments, and optimal
treatments, PM holds promise for improving
health care while also lowering costs.
3. • Health care today mainly depends on physician
diagnosis and treatment followed by a patient
response.
• The drug prescribed is fairly standard for the
diagnosis and are not tailored for patients
individual metabolic profile.
• Response to a drug or treatment of an individual
will not be in a same fashion, and following a one
size fits all approach could expose a patient to an
effective treatment or to several side effect.
4. • These observations of highly variable drug
response, which began in the early 1950s, led to
the development of a new scientific discipline
arising from the confluence of genetics,
biochemistry, and pharmacology known as
pharmacogenetics.
• Advances in molecular medicine have spawned
the newer field of pharmacogenomics, which
seeks to understand all of the molecular
underpinnings of drug response.
5. Commercialization of this research application is
now known as personalized medicine (PM).
• PM may be considered an extension of traditional
approaches to understanding and treating disease
but with greater precision.
• A profile of a patient’s gene variations can guide
the selection of drugs or treatment protocols that
minimize harmful side effects or ensure more
successful outcomes.
6. • PM can also indicate an individual’s susceptibility
to certain diseases before they become manifest,
allowing physicians and patients to design a plan
for monitoring and prevention.
• Physicians can now go beyond the one-size-fits-all
model of prescribing to make more effective
clinical decisions for each patient.
• PM offers a structural model for efficient health
care; it is preventive, coordinated, and proven.
7. • PM works best with a network of electronic health
records that link clinical and molecular
information to make it easier to help patients and
their physicians make appropriate treatment
decisions.
• PM is participatory, engaging patients in lifestyle
choices and active health maintenance to
compensate for genetic susceptibilities.
8. Within five major categories affecting the
evolution of PM, the following examples illustrate
areas of change that will redefine clinical practice
as we know it today:
• Changing in medicine from reaction to
prevention.
• Permitting the selection of optimal therapy and
reducing trial-and-error prescribing.
• Avoiding adverse drug reactions to make the drug
for safer use.
• Rising patient compliance with treatment.
9. • Dipping the time and cost of clinical trials.
• Revitalizing drugs that failed early in clinical
trials or on the market, based on genomics
advances that demonstrate variations in receptors
that may make the drug work well for a select
group within the general population.
• Decreasing the overall cost of health care.
10. Key technology advances, making PM possible
and at a faster pace of growth, including:
• New tools to decode the human genome more
rapidly and accurately using physically smaller
yet more powerful machines.
• Large-scale studies and sample repositories that
help link genetic variations to disease across
multiple countries and continents.
11. Pharmacogenomics and gene testing: The promise of
personalized medicine
• Pharmacogenetics is the science that studies how
genetic variations in individuals affect their
response to medications.
• Pharmacogenomics is the broader study of how
genetic variations affect drug development.
• Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics deal
with the genetic basis underlying variable drug
responses in individual patients.
12. • The traditional pharmacogenetic approach relies
on studying sequence variations in candidate
genes that are thought to affect drug response,
whereas pharmacogenomic studies encompass the
sum of all genes (i.e., the genome).
• Numerous genes may play a role in drug response
and toxicity, introducing a daunting level of
complexity into the search for candidate genes.
• However, most currently available drugs are
metabolized by the enzymes in the cytochrome
P450 (CYP 450) system.
13. • These enzymes, and variations thereof, are
responsible for individual variation in absorption,
distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs.
• Hence, just a minor variation, such as one
nucleotide base “misspelling” can have clinically
profound consequences.
• The high speed and specificity associated with
newly emerging genomic technologies enable
broader identification within the entire genome.
14. • These new technologies have essentially
spawned a new discipline—
pharmacogenomics—that seeks to identify the
variant genes affecting the response to drugs in
individual patients and, in so doing, can identify
disease susceptibility genes representing
potential new drug targets.
• All of this is beginning to lead to novel
approaches in drug discovery, an individualized
application of drug therapy, and new insights
into disease prevention.
15. • In drug therapy today, the approach is to treat
large patient populations as groups, irrespective
of the potential for individual, genetically based
differences in drug response.
• In contrast, pharmacogenomics may help focus
effective therapy on smaller patient
subpopulations that, although demonstrating the
same disease phenotype, are characterized by
distinct genetic profiles.
16. • Genes are fragments of DNA that are found in all
human cells, and they can influence a person’s
response to medications.
• DNA is essentially a key part of our interactive
chemical operating system in the body, instructing
the body how to behave and interact on a cellular
level.
• A basic gene can have many different forms and
chemical messengers.
• It is those interactions that also affect drug
activity in the body.
17. Although current uses are limited,
pharmacogenomics has the potential to offer many
benefits on a broader scale within the next several
years.
Some of the most important benefits include:
1. Better medication selection:
• Although drugs generally undergo rigorous
reviews and testing processes before they are
approved for sale, there is often no way to predict
how a certain individual will react to a specific
agent.
• Even if a medication appears safe for most
people, some patients may experience a toxic
reaction because of variations in their genes.
18. Pharmacogenomics may be able to predict those
who are likely to have a bad reaction to a drug
before they ever take it and those who will be
likely to respond successfully.
2. Safer dosing options:
Following FDA approval and clinical trial
requirements, the dosage of a medication either is
a standard one-size fits-all dose, or it is based on
key factors such as liver or kidney function,
weight, and age.
19. • These parameters might not be sufficient,
however. A standard dose may prove toxic to one
person and not another because of a genetic
variation.
• Using pharmacogenomics, doctors can avoid this
problem by predicting the optimal dose to use, not
just which medication is right for an individual
patient.
20. 3. Improvements in drug development:
• Pharmaceutical companies must often spend years
conducting research on and clinical trials of a new
drug before it goes to market.
• Diagnostic and device firms, along with
pharmaceutical companies, typically have to test a
product in many people to ensure that it is safe and
effective.
21. • Pharmacogenomics may help these companies
focus their testing.
• As an example, if a company knows ahead of time
that someone has a genetic variation that will
cause an adverse reaction to a drug or that will
make a drug ineffective; those patients can be
excluded from the clinical trial.
• This may speed up the clinical trial process and
target the specific population that can be helped by
any one medication.
22. Key gaps and barriers
How one person responds to a medication might
not be determined by only one gene but, instead,
by many genes interacting with each other.
Combing through this complicated genetic map
is expensive and time consuming.
Some types of PM, based on the science of
pharmacogenomics, are in use today—but on a
limited basis.
23. • A few tests are available that can help predict
likely responses or poor reactions to certain
medications.
• Combined with other factors, the test indicates a
proper dosage range for this patient.
• Thus, with a test that considers the genetic profile,
the patient avoids experiencing uncontrolled
bleeding, life-threatening blood clots, or a risk of
stroke that can accompany the use of this powerful
drug.
24. Genetic tests
1. CYP 450 genotyping test:
• A group of enzymes (known as CYP 450), is
responsible for metabolizing more than 30 types
of medications.
• The test can determine how quickly and
effectively these agents are eliminated from the
body.
• Depending on an individual’s genetic makeup,
the body might not break down the medication fast
enough; instead allowing drug levels to
accumulate, resulting in severe side effects.
25. • Conversely, a patient might have a genetic
variation that causes the body to break down the
medications too quickly before they have a
chance to work.
• The CYP 450 test can be used to determine
dosing and effects of specific anti-depressant
medications, anticoagulants such as warfarin,
proton pump inhibitors, and a number of other
agents.
26. 2. Thiopurine methyl transferase test:
• An enzyme called thiopurine methyltransferase
(TPMT) breaks down a chemotherapy drug called
thiopurine, which is used to treat some leukemias
and autoimmune disorders.
• Some people have genetic variations that
prevent them from producing this enzyme.
• As a result, thiopurine levels can build up in the
body, leading to severe toxic reactions.
• A blood test can be used to check for this variation
before treatment begins, resulting in better dosing
guidelines for clinicians.
27. 3. UGT1A1 TA repeat genotype test:
• This test is used to detect a variation in a gene
that affects the UGT1A1 enzyme.
• This enzyme determines how the body breaks
down irinotecan (Camptosar, Pfizer), a
chemotherapy drug for treating colorectal cancer.
• In patients with a deficiency of this enzyme, the
medication can build up to toxic levels, possibly
causing suppression of the bone marrow,
infection, and even death.
28. • Doctors can test for this genetic variation before
treatment starts and then customize the dosage to
prevent a toxic buildup of the drug.
• Alternatively, if a patient has normal levels of the
UGT1A1 enzyme, the test may help to ensure that
the dosage of irinotecan won’t be lower than
necessary.
29. 4. Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase test:
• The medication 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), along
with its related compounds, is one of the most
commonly used chemotherapy agents.
• Some people have a genetic variation that
results in a decrease in the dihydropyrimidine
dehydrogenase enzyme, which is responsible for
breaking down 5-FU.
• As a result of this deficiency, some people may
experience severe or even fatal reactions to 5-FU.
