Each kidney contains over 1 million tiny structures called nephrons. Each nephron has a glomerulus, the site of blood filtration. The glomerulus is a network of capillaries surrounded by a cuplike structure, the glomerular capsule (or Bowman’s capsule). As blood flows through the glomerulus, blood pressure pushes water and solutes from the capillaries into the capsule through a filtration membrane. This glomerular filtration begins the urine formation process.Inside the glomerulus, blood pressure pushes fluid from capillaries into the glomerular capsule through a specialized layer of cells. This layer, the filtration membrane, allows water and small solutes to pass but blocks blood cells and large proteins. Those components remain in the bloodstream. The filtrate (the fluid that has passed through the membrane) flows from the glomerular capsule further into the nephron.The glomerulus filters water and small solutes out of the bloodstream. The resulting filtrate contains waste, but also other substances the body needs: essential ions, glucose, amino acids, and smaller proteins. When the filtrate exits the glomerulus, it flows into a duct in the nephron called the renal tubule. As it moves, the needed substances and some water are reabsorbed through the tube wall into adjacent capillaries. This reabsorption of vital nutrients from the filtrate is the second step in urine creation.The filtrate absorbed in the glomerulus flows through the renal tubule, where nutrients and water are reabsorbed into capillaries. At the same time, waste ions and hydrogen ions pass from the capillaries into the renal tubule. This process is called secretion. The secreted ions combine with the remaining filtrate and become urine. The urine flows out of the nephron tubule into a collecting duct. It passes out of the kidney through the renal pelvis, into the ureter, and down to the bladder.The nephrons of the kidneys process blood and create urine through a process of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. Urine is about 95% water and 5% waste products. Nitrogenous wastes excreted in urine include urea, creatinine, ammonia, and uric acid. Ions such as sodium, potassium, hydrogen, and calcium are also excreted

EVENTS OF URINE FORMATION (The Guyton and Hall physiology)Maryam Fida
FILTRATION.
REABSORPTION
SECRETION
FILTRATION is the function of the glomerulus.
Reabsorption and secretion are the functions of tubular portion of nephron.
It is the first process of urine formation.
DEFINITION
“ The process by which the blood that passes through glomerular capillaries is filtered Formed by three layers.
Glomerular capillary membrane.
Basement membrane
visceral layer of Bowman’s capsule.
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
“The rate at which plasma is filtered into Bowman's capsule.
The units of filtration are a volume filtered per unit time, e.g. ml/min or liters/day.
Normal Value is 125ml/min or 180 liters/day.
99% of filtrate is reabsorbed, 1 to 2 L is excreted as urine.
Nephron (The Guyton and Hall physiology)Maryam Fida
Structural and Functional unit of kidney is called nephron.
There are about 1.3 million nephron in each kidney.
New nephrons can not be regenerated by kidneys.
Functioning nephrons decrease about 10 % every 10 years at the age of 40.
At the age of 80, there are 40 % of functioning nephrons as compared to 40 yrs.
It is formed by two parts.
1. GLOMERULUS
2. BOWMAN’S CAPSULE
1- Glomerulus:
It consists of tuft of glomerular capillaries.
There is anastomosing & branching network of glomerular capillaries.
Glomerular capillaries have high hydrostatic pressure (nearly 60 mm Hg) as compared with other capillaries.
Glomerulus is surrounded by a membranous cover called Bowman’s capsule.
Each glomerulus is about 0.2 mm in diameter.
Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule together constitute renal corpuscle.
Each renal tubule is divided into various part as they have different functions.
i- Proximal convulated tubule.
It is continuation of Bowman’s capsule.
ii- Loop of Henle. It is continuation of prox. conv. tubule.
* Loop of Henle has three parts.
a- descending limb,
b- u turn or bend in medulla and
c- ascending limb.
Ascending limb has initial thin segment followed by thick segment.
At the end of thick ascending limb, there is short segment called macula densa, which plays important role in controlling functions of nephron.
Tubular reabsorption (The Guyton and Hall physiology)Maryam Fida
It is the second step of urine formation.
It is defined as;
“ The process by which water and other substances are transported by renal tubules back to blood is called Tubular Reabsorption”.
Tubular reabsorption is highly selective.
Some substances like glucose and amino acids are completely absorbed from tubules. So, the urinary excretion is zero.
Ions such as Na+, Cl-, HCO3- are highly absorbed but rate of absorption and excretion varies, according to body needs.
Materials Not Reabsorbed
Nitrogenous waste products
Urea
Uric acid
Creatinine
Excess water

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
2. • The kidneys perform their most important functions by
filtering the plasma and removing substance from the
fitrate at variable rates, depending on the needs of the
body.
• The kidneys serve multiple functions, including-
1. Excretion of metabolic waste products and foreign
chemicals,
2. Regulation of water and electrolyte balances,
3. Regulation of body fluid osmolality and electrolyte
concentration,
4. Regulation of arterial pressure,
5. Regulation of acid base balance,
6. Secretion, metabolism and excretion of hormones,
7. Gluconeogenesis.
3. Anatomy Of The Kidneys
• Twokidneys-on the posterior wall ofthe
abdomen,outside peritonealcavity.
• Eachkidney- weighs150gms.
• Medial side-hilum (renal artery,vein,
lymphatics, nervesupplyandureter)
• Capsule-tough fibrous, protects innerdelicate
structures.
4. Renalblood supply
• Blood flow to both kidneys- 22% of the cardiac
output or 1100ml/ min.
• Blood flow id by Renal artery, interlobar, arcuate,
interlobular, afferent, glomerular capillaries,
efferent arterioles, Peritubular capillaries,
interlobular, arcuate, interlobar, renal.
5. Nephron- functional unit of the kidney
• Each kidney- 1 million nephrons.
• Kidney can not regenerate new nephrons.
• After 40 yrs- functioning nephrons decreases
about 10% every 10 yrs.
• Each nephron contains-
1. Glomerulus- tuft of glomerular capillaries, through
which large amount of fluid filtered from the blood,
2. Long tubule- filtered fluid is converted into urine
on its way to pelvis of the kidney.
6. Urine formation
• The rates at which different substances are
excreted in the urine represent the sum of three
renal processes:
1. Glomerular filtration
2. Reabsorption of substances from the renal
tubules into the blood
3. Secretion of the substances from the blood in
the renal tubules.
Expressed mathematically:
Urinary excretion rate= filtration rate- reabsorption
rate + secretion rate.
7.
8. GLOMERULARFILTERATION
• Glomerular filtrate: the fluid that entersthe
capsularspace.(female-150lit, male-180lit).
• Filtration fraction: the fraction of blood plasma
in the afferentarteriole in the kidneys that
becomeglomerular filtrate(0.16-0.2).
9. Filtration membrane
• Theglomerular capillaries and the podocytes,
which completely encircles the capillaries,
form aleaky barrier known asfiltration
membrane.
• Substance filtered from blood crossesthree
filtration barriers:
1. Glomerular endothelial cells,
2. Basallamina,
3. Filtration slit formed bypodocytes.
10.
11. Principle of filtration
• Theuseof pressure to force fluids and
solutes through amembrane is samein
glomerular capillaries and elsewhere in the
body.
• Thevolume of the fluid filtered in the renal
corpuscle is much larger in other capillaries ofthe
body for threereasons:
1. Larger surface area, mesangial cells relax
increased GFRand contracts decreasedGFR.
2. Filtration membrane- thin andporous,
thickness- 0.1mm, 50 times leakier.
3. Glomerular capillary blood pressure ishigh.
12.
13. GFR
• Theamount of filtrate formed in all renal corpuscles
of both the kidneyseachminuteisthe GFR
• Male- 125ml/min, female-105ml/min.
• GFR-too highdecreasedreabsorption, toolow
increasedreabsorption.
• Mechanismthat regulatesGFRoperate intwo
mainways:
1. Byadjustingblood flow into andoutof
glomerulus,
2. Altering the glomerular capillary surfacearea
availablefor filtration.
14. Regulation of GFR
• Renalregulation of GFR
1. Myogenic mechanism
2. Tubuloglomerular feedback
• Neural regulation of GFR
• Hormonal regulation of GFR
