Chapter 7 presentation - Veronica Martinez
This document summarizes information about three common types of drugs used to treat respiratory conditions: corticosteroids, antihistamines, and expectorants. It provides details on specific drugs from each class - Flonase (fluticasone) for corticosteroids, Allegra (fexofenadine) for antihistamines, and Robitussin (dextromethorphan) for expectorants. For each drug, it outlines its uses, how it should be taken, and common side effects. The presentation provides an overview of these three classes of drugs and three exemplar medications to inform about treating respiratory issues.
Organic chemistry DAKIN REACTION
This document summarizes the Dakin reaction, an organic redox reaction where an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate. It discusses the mechanism of the Dakin reaction and its synthetic applications. It also describes Dakin's solution, a hypochlorite solution used as an antiseptic to prevent and treat skin and tissue infections, and reviews its uses, side effects, precautions, and interactions.
Medication
This document provides information on the proper use and potential side effects of three common medications: Ciprofloxacin (Cipro), an antibiotic; Fexofenadine (Allegra), an antihistamine for allergies; and Dextromethorphan (Robitussin), a cough suppressant. For each medication, the summary describes its intended uses, dosage instructions, potential side effects, and important warnings.
Drug allergy
A drug allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies a drug as harmful and launches an allergic reaction. Common symptoms include rash, hives, difficulty breathing, and anaphylaxis in severe cases. While any drug can potentially cause an allergy, certain medications like antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and chemotherapy drugs are more likely to trigger allergic responses. Avoiding the culprit drug is the best prevention strategy, and antihistamines, corticosteroids, bronchodilators, or epinephrine may be necessary to treat symptoms.
Allegra
Allegra
Synonyms - Fexofenadine, Telfast, Allegra Hives, Carboxyterfenadine hydrochloride
Category - Allergy
What is Allegra ?
ALLEGRA active ingredient is Fexofenadine hydrochloride. Allegra is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body.
Use
This medicine is used to relieve allergy symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, sneezing, hives, and itching. It works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction
Drug allergy
The document discusses drug-induced skin adverse reactions. Antibiotics, analgesics, cardiac drugs, corticosteroids and NSAIDs commonly cause such reactions. Maculopapular rash is the most common manifestation. Factors like drug properties, dose, route of administration and host factors like genetics, medical history influence reactions. Common causes of hypersensitivity discussed are penicillin, aspirin and sulfonamides. Diagnosis involves skin testing and clinical history. Management includes patient education, genetic testing, desensitization and close monitoring.
Antiallergy drugs
This document discusses various drug treatments for ocular allergies. It describes how allergic reactions cause the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells. The main classes of anti-allergy drugs discussed are ocular decongestants, antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, NSAIDs, and corticosteroids. Specific examples of drugs in each class are provided along with their mechanisms of action and recommended dosages.
Spam presentation
Spam refers to unsolicited bulk electronic messages sent indiscriminately. While businesses initially used spam to increase popularity during the technology boom, spam is now considered unprofessional and costs both businesses and individuals millions annually to combat. Spam also poses privacy and content risks, especially for children, and could fundamentally change how people use the internet if its infiltration continues.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. 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.
