Literature Survey Antibiotic ResistanceTuhin Samanta
Anti-toxin obstruction happens when microscopic organisms change in light of the utilization of these medications. Microscopic organisms, not people or creatures, become anti-toxin safe. These microorganisms may contaminate people and creatures, and the diseases they cause are more diligently to treat than those brought about by non-safe microscopic organisms.

On 12/2/09 on Capitol Hill, leading experts in economics, public health and public policy and Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), a leading voice on antibiotic resistance, discussed the impact of resistant infections on the U.S. healthcare system and the need to phase out inappropriate use of antibiotics as growth promoters in the production of food animals. The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) hosted the event with Rep. Slaughter. This is a complication of the panelists' presentations.
Identification of antibiotic resistance genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolat...QIAGEN
Antibiotic resistant strains of pathogenic bacteria are a growing worldwide health problem. To effectively combat the spread of difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, rapid surveillance methods for detection of antibiotic resistance genes is required to monitor both bacterial isolates and metagenomic samples. Additionally, identification of potential new sources for different antibiotic resistance genes is critical. Both of these goals require tools that can be used for profiling of antibiotic resistance genes from various types of samples. Real-time PCR has proven to be effective for the detection of antibiotic resistance genes. Using PCR array technology, simultaneous detection of 87 prevalent and important antibiotic resistance genes is possible and should prove to be an effective method for antibiotic resistance monitoring. This allows for a more comprehensive profiling of antibiotic resistance genes than is possible using individual PCR assays.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

3. Antibiotics :
Substance (such as penicillin) that
destroys or inhibits the growth of other
pathogenic microorganisms and is
used in the treatment of external or
internal infections.
While some antibiotics are produced by
microorganisms, most are now
manufactured synthetically
4. Classification of antibiotics :
Antibiotics are classified several ways.
On the basis of mechanism of action
On the basis of spectrum of activity
On the basis of mode of action
10. Misuse of antibiotics :
Antibiotic misuse, sometimes called antibiotic
abuse or antibiotic overuse.
The misuse or overuse of antibiotics, may produce
serious effects on health.
It is a contributing factor to the creation of
multidrug-resistant bacteria, informally called
"super bugs" relatively harmless bacteria can
develop resistance to multiple antibiotics and cause
life-threatening infections.
11. Antibiotics resistance
If the concentration of drug requires to
inhibit or kill the microorganism is greater
than normal use then the microorganism is
considered to be resistant to the drug.
OR
The ability of a microorganism to produce a
protein that disables an antibiotic or prevents
transport of the antibiotic into the cell.
12. Cross-resistance
Cross-resistance to a particular
antibiotic that often results in resistance
to other antibiotics, usually from a
similar chemical class, to which the
bacteria may not have been exposed.
Cross-resistance can occur, for
example, to both colistin and polymyxin
B or to both clindamycin and lincomycin.
14. Inappropriate prescription :
In an analysis of prescribing practices in teaching
hospitals worldwide, more than 40 %
of all antimicrobials prescribed were considered
inappropriate.
Antibiotic resistance comes mainly because of
inappropriate or improper use of antibiotics by
physicians. Some 150 million prescriptions are
written annually in the USA And Of those, 50
million are absolutely unnecessary or
inappropriate”.
15. Doctor’s are bound to prescribe the
antibiotics
Mr: Don’t forget to take one
of our antibiotics free
sample before you leave the
hospital
16. You get a fever. You have diarrhoea.
You catch a cold. Take a couple of
antibiotics (Amoxicillin ,Azithromycin)
You should avoid it ,don’t take
antibiotics without prescription.
17.
18. But many doctors/quacks
prescribed antibiotics in viral
diseases without test.
Viral illness needs time to
heal, antibiotic can not help to
cure this illness.
19. Antibiotics side effects:
The most common side effects of
antibiotics :
Diarrhoea
Bloating and indigestion
Abdominal pain
Loss of appetite
Being sick
Feeling sick
Itchy skin rash
Coughing
life-threatening allergic reaction
20. Unconsciousness of Patient
•Without proper direction the
patient take the drug.
•They do not maintain the
dosage intervals and
complete the dose.
•Patient stop the drug when
feel better.
21. What Is The Rules Of Pharmacist
The pharmacist should review the previous diseases
history of the patient
Hypersensitivity reaction of Drug
Drug-drug interaction
Exact dose and frequency of the drug
When the drug should be taken before or after meal
Suggest not to stop the antibiotics without complete the
course even feel better
22. My Opinion
The doctor must be concern about the disease whether it
viral or bacterial.
They should not prescribed the drug without test or over
sure .
The pharmacist should also more conscious about the
dose ,drug interaction, resistant and hypersensitivity of
the drug .
The patient should strictly maintain the suggestion of the
pharmacist.
