COMMON COLD
The document discusses the common cold, which is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that causes symptoms like a runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, and coughing. It affects both children and adults and spreads easily through direct or indirect contact with infected secretions. While the cold is usually mild and self-limiting, complications can sometimes occur like sinusitis, ear infections, or bronchitis. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms with over-the-counter medications and getting plenty of rest.
Measles.pptx
Measles is a highly infectious childhood disease caused by the measles virus. It is characterized by fever and a rash. While the disease itself is usually not fatal, it can lead to serious complications like pneumonia, encephalitis, and malnutrition. Transmission occurs via respiratory droplets. There is no specific treatment for measles, but supportive care and vitamin A supplementation can help recovery. Immunization with the measles vaccine provides lifelong protection and is the most effective preventive strategy.
Influenza
The document discusses influenza, also known as seasonal flu. It is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses that causes symptoms like fever, cough, and muscle pain. Influenza occurs seasonally as well as sporadically, and can sometimes cause pandemics every 10-40 years when the virus undergoes major antigenic changes. Influenza viruses are classified into types A, B, and C. Type A is responsible for epidemics and pandemics. The document outlines the epidemiology, transmission, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of influenza. Vaccination is recommended for high-risk groups to reduce complications.

It notes that 234 million people worldwide have asthma, including an estimated 15-20 million people in India. Asthma is classified as extrinsic, intrinsic, or mixed. Extrinsic asthma is the most common type, usually beginning in childhood, and involves hypersensitivity to allergens. Intrinsic asthma develops later in life and is not associated with allergies. Mixed asthma has features of both types.
Infectious, acute, chronic diseases
This document discusses three main types of diseases: acute diseases, chronic diseases, and infectious diseases. Acute diseases have a rapid onset and short course, while chronic diseases have a persistent or long-lasting effect of over three months. Common chronic diseases include arthritis, asthma, cancer, COPD, diabetes and AIDS. Infectious diseases can be passed between individuals and are caused by infectious agents like bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi. Infectious diseases account for over half of all deaths in children under five worldwide.

Monsoon diseases
Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus transmitted through mosquito bites. Common symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a rash. In some cases it can develop into life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. There is no vaccine, so prevention focuses on reducing mosquito habitats and exposure to bites.
update in upper respiratory tract infection 2018
This document summarizes common upper respiratory tract infections including the common cold, pharyngitis, sinusitis, and ear infections. It describes the typical causes, presentations, diagnoses, and treatment approaches for each condition. The common cold is usually viral in nature and self-limiting, though complications can include ear infections, sinusitis, or asthma exacerbations. Streptococcal pharyngitis requires antibiotic treatment to prevent rheumatic fever. Sinusitis may be viral or bacterial, with amoxicillin usually prescribed for uncomplicated cases. Acute otitis media is a common childhood infection often preceded by a viral cold, with symptoms of ear pain and possible fever.
Diphteria
Diphtheria is an acute bacterial infection that primarily involves the tonsils, pharynx, nose, and occasionally other mucous membranes. It is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which produces a toxin that can destroy tissues and organs. Symptoms include sore throat, fever, and a gray or white membrane in the throat. Complications can include abnormal heart rhythms, myocarditis, and respiratory obstruction leading to death. Treatment involves antibiotics, antitoxin, oxygen therapy, and supportive care. Vaccination is important to prevent and control diphtheria.
Common cold
The common cold is caused by viruses that infect the nasal mucosa, causing inflammation and symptoms like nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and includes decongestants, antihistamines, expectorants, analgesics, and increasing fluid intake. While colds cannot be cured, zinc and vitamin C may help reduce severity and duration.
Pertussis dr yusuf imran
Pertussis, or whooping cough, is an acute respiratory infection caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacteria.

Hand foot & mouth disease
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common viral infection that mainly affects young children under 10 years old. It is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. The viruses that cause HFMD include coxsackieviruses and enteroviruses. People are most contagious during the first week of illness, though they can remain contagious for weeks after symptoms resolve. The disease spreads through close contact with infected individuals or surfaces contaminated by their saliva, mucus or feces. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, mouth sores and a rash. Good hygiene practices like hand washing are important to prevent the spread of HFMD.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Journal Article Review on Rasamanikya

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
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.
