This document discusses drug repositioning, which is the process of identifying new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. Drug repositioning can save both time and costs compared to new drug development, as the safety and toxicity of repositioned drugs are already understood. Strategies for repositioning include activity-based screening using in vitro and in vivo assays, as well as in silico computational screening. Several successful examples of repositioned drugs are provided, along with some drugs currently in clinical trials for new indications.
Repurposing drugs in treatment of parasitic infections..pptxdrebrahiim
Drug repurposing, also known as drug repositioning, is the process of identifying new therapeutic indications for existing drugs that are outside the scope of the original medical indication. Drug repurposing in the treatment of parasitic infections refers to the innovative process of using existing drugs, which may have been initially developed for other diseases or conditions, to treat parasitic infections.
This strategy uses what we already know about drugs and their safety to quickly introduce new treatments for parasitic diseases.

Clinical Studies - Foundational to the Drug Approval ProcessJohn Kriak
One of the key elements in gaining approval of a drug by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) involves clinical research. There are two primary avenues of such research: clinical trials and observational studies. The latter involves monitoring subjects within normal settings, with data gathered over time and health changes evaluated and compared with others in the group.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
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.

3. Drug Repositioning
Introduction
The process of drug discovery involves many stages but can be categorized into
three stages namely:
Lead identification
Preclinical testing in animals
Clinical trials in humans
In order to avoid such long term process of conventional drug discovery,
in drug development strategy is exploration of drug that have already been
approved for the treatment of other diseases and/or whose targets have already
been discovered.
“Drug repositioning can be defined as a process of identification of
new pharmacological indications from
old/existing/failed/investigational/already marketed/FDA approved
drug/pro-drug, and the application of the newly developed drugs to
the treatment of disease other than the drug’s intended therapeutic
5. Many pharmaceutical companies are working on the development of new
drugs, but the rate of gaining approval through clinical trials is very low
compared to the financial and time investment
In fact, it takes about 14 years to develop new drugs through de novo drug
discovery.
Despite prodigious increases in pharmaceutical R&D industry, productivity
has decreased in terms of the number of new drugs approved or the
number of original Investigational New Drug (IND) applications from
commercial sources.
In response, interest in repurposing clinically approved drugs
has increased.
6. Specifically, reduced development risk has been achieved because in
vitro/in vivo screening, toxicology, chemical optimization, and
formulation development have already been done and can be omitted.
Thus, pharmaceutical companies and researchers have started to
heavily invest in drug repositioning, which offers dramatic risk-
reward trade-off over de novo drug discovery.
Drug repositioning is safe for humans in preclinical models and, due
to only testing a drug’s effectiveness towards a specific disease,
benefits from a very small burden of failure.
7.
8. Benefits of Drug Repositioning
1. Saving time:
The duration of the discovery phase for a repurposed drug is shorter as safety and
toxicology studies have already been assessed in the original indication.
2. Saving cost:
It costs approximately US $300 Million to bring a repurposed drug to market
representing a saving of about 85% compared to the US$ 2.6 Billion for a new drug
if the cost of failed projects is taken into account.
Drug Repositioning holds a higher reward with a lower risk
11. Approaches of Drug Repositioning
Activity based Approach In-silico based approach
Experimental (in vitro-in vivo) screening Computational (virtual) screening
Target-based and cell/organism-based
screening assay
Protein target-based screening
