This document provides guidelines for validating analytical methods used in various stages of pharmaceutical production. It defines key terms related to analytical validation and outlines parameters that should be considered, including selectivity, limit of detection, precision, accuracy, and range. Methods must demonstrate they can reliably identify and quantify analytes without interference from other substances. Both validated and partial validation studies are described. Reference materials and characterization reports are also addressed.
The ICH Q3 guidelines address chemistry and safety aspects of impurities in pharmaceuticals. They define thresholds for reporting, identifying, and qualifying impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished drug products. Impurities include organic and inorganic compounds arising from manufacturing as well as residual solvents. The guidelines recommend identifying impurities above thresholds and qualifying those above identification levels through genotoxicity testing and evaluating risk to ensure product safety.
1) Several case studies are presented involving FDA regulation violations and their consequences. Schering-Plough ignored repeated FDA warnings and was fined $500 million. Barr Laboratories routinely retested drug batches instead of following procedures for out-of-specification results, leading to a legal case.
2) Chiron's flu vaccine manufacturing plant in the UK had its license suspended in 2004, eliminating nearly half of the US supply that year. Baxter recalled blood thinner Heparin after patients had allergic reactions, which was later traced to a contaminated ingredient from a Chinese supplier.
3) Regulators must take supplier quality into account, as sponsors are responsible for ensuring third-party manufacturers meet standards. The FDA found numerous problems

It discusses the importance of a pharmaceutical quality system to ensure quality and compliance throughout the product lifecycle. Key aspects of an effective quality system include managing product and process knowledge; designing and developing products with GMP in mind; specifying production and controls; defining roles and responsibilities; controlling materials; managing outsourced activities; monitoring processes and taking corrective actions; and continually improving processes and products. Senior management must provide leadership and ensure the quality system is properly implemented and maintained.

The Importance of Black Women Understanding the Chemicals in Their Personal C...bkling
Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.
This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

(1) If reproducibility was carried out, intermediate precision does not need to be carried out.
(2) In the identification test, combining one or more analytical procedures may be needed to reach the required level
ofdiscrimination.
(3) It may be required in some cases.

Formula 1. Accuracy calculation.
Experimental mean concentration
Recovery = x 100
Theoretical concentration
Or
CA (added sample) – CA (sample)
Recovery = x 100
CTA
Where: CA is the experimental concentration of analyte and CTA is the theoretical
concentration of analyte added.
Formula 2. Limit of detection calculation.
LD= 3.3.σ
IC
Where: IC is the calibration curve inclination, σ is the standard deviation and may be
obtained in 3 ways:
I –fromthestandarddeviationoftheinterceptwithY-axisofatleast3calibrationcurves
