Dosage forms (also called unit doses) are pharmaceutical drug products in the form in which they are marketed for use, with a specific mixture of active ingredients and inactive components (excipients), in a particular configuration (such as a capsule shell, for example), and apportioned into a particular dose. For example, two products may both be amoxicillin, but one is in 500 mg capsules and another is in 250 mg chewable tablets. The term unit dose can also sometimes encompass non-reusable packaging as well (especially when each drug product is individually packaged[1]), although the FDA distinguishes that by unit-dose "packaging" or "dispensing".[2] Depending on the context, multi(ple) unit dose can refer to distinct drug products packaged together, or to a single drug product containing multiple drugs and/or doses. The term dosage form can also sometimes refer only to the pharmaceutical formulation of a drug product's constituent drug substance(s) and any blends involved, without considering matters beyond that (like how it is ultimately configured as a consumable product such as a capsule, patch, etc.). Because of the somewhat vague boundaries and unclear

The extraction of morphine from the poppy plant involves several steps. Here is a general outline of the process:
1. Cultivation and Harvesting: Poppy plants (Papaver somniferum) are cultivated and grown in suitable conditions. The plants are typically harvested when the seeds have matured and the capsules contain the highest amount of alkaloids, including morphine.
2. Incision and Latex Collection: The capsules of the poppy plant are carefully incised to create small cuts or "scores." The latex, which contains morphine, begins to ooze out of the cuts. This process is known as latex collection.
3. Scraping and Collection: The latex that has oozed out of the incisions is carefully scraped off the surface of the capsules using a specialized tool. This collected latex contains various alkaloids, including morphine.
4. Alkaloid Extraction: The collected latex is mixed with a solvent, such as ethanol or methanol, to dissolve the alkaloids. This mixture is typically stirred or shaken to ensure thorough extraction. The solvent acts as a carrier for the morphine and other alkaloids.
5. Filtration: The mixture is then filtered to separate the liquid (containing the dissolved alkaloids) from any solid plant matter or impurities. This can be done using filter paper or other filtration methods.
6. Concentration: The filtered liquid, containing the dissolved alkaloids, is subjected to evaporation or other concentration techniques to remove the solvent and obtain a more concentrated alkaloid solution.
7. Purification: The concentrated alkaloid solution may undergo further purification steps to isolate and separate morphine from other alkaloids. This can involve techniques such as chromatography or crystallization.
8. Drying and Solidification: The purified morphine is typically dried to remove any remaining moisture. It is then processed into a solid form, such as a powder or crystalline substance.
It is important to note that the extraction of morphine from the poppy plant is a highly regulated process and is typically carried out by licensed pharmaceutical companies under strict legal controls.
For more detailed information and step-by-step procedures, you can refer to the following information links:

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!

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
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

5. A WELL-EQUIPPED MEDICINE CABINET STARTS WITH
SOLVENTS.
Solvents are used in hundreds of pharmaceutical
products, many of which are found in our homes. In fact,
some of the products found in our medicine cabinets are
solvents, such as rubbing alcohol. Solvents can play a key
role in our well-being, and they also frequently play a role at
the start of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process.
Isopropyl alcohol, or rubbing alcohol, is an example of
a solvent that plays a dual role. A versatile solvent, it is often
used in our homes as a disinfectant, and is also used as an
industrial solvent to dissolve products such as oils and resins
in manufacturing processes. Additionally, it can be used as a
building block to make other products.
6. SOLVENT USE AS AN ACTIVE INGREDIENTS IN
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS
Ointments and other topical products, such as
antibacterial creams and corticosteroids, often use
solvents in the beginning of the process to
manufacture the active ingredients. As the drug is
being transformed into its final form, whether
cream, lotion or liquid, solvents are used as a
medium for blending materials. Solvents also are
used to help the final product achieve the proper
consistency.
7. SOLVENTS USE IN HOUSEHOLDS
Other pharmaceutical items in our households
that use solvents include pet care products.
Solvents are often found in pet shampoos,
ointments, oral medications and topicals. Pet
shampoos use solvents to dissolve a drug for
topical treatment, or to provide moisture and
softeners for our pets’ skin and hair.
8. HOW SOLVENTS WORK IN PHARMACEUTICALS
Solvents can serve one or more functions
in pharmaceutical manufacture. They provide
molecules to build some drugs. For other drugs,
solvents are used for extraction and purification.
Solvents also can provide a reaction medium.
Solvents work in a variety of ways to
contribute to many of the medicines people use
today. As helpers in the formulation of many health
care products such as penicillin, aspirin, cough
syrup, and topical ointments, solvents play an
important role in the medicine cabinet.
9. WHAT IS A SOLVENT?
Solvents are chemical substances that can
dissolve, suspend or extract other materials usually
without chemically changing either the solvents or
the other materials. Solvents can be
organic, meaning the solvent contains carbon as
part of its makeup, or inorganic, meaning the
solvent does not contain carbon.
For example, “rubbing” alcohol is an organic
solvent and water is an inorganic solvent.
Hydrocarbon and oxygenated solvents are
examples of types of organic solvents that can
effectively dissolve many materials.
10. PROPERTIES OF SOLVENTS USE FOR
PHARMACEUTICAL USE:
Solvents for pharmaceutical use should have this
properties:
1. Should be non-toxic.
2. Should be stable.
3. Should be not highly volatile (stable)??
Because if was volatile will evaporate &leaving
concentrate solution.
Note: the solvent that used in pharmacy is not mean
that it is used orally .it may be used for clarification
of drugs, for isolation or extraction from crude
drug or for cosmetic.
11. WHY DO WE NEED CERTAIN REGULATIONS TO
LIMIT THE USE OF SOLVENTS.
a. Toxicity
b. Odor and taste(obviously not good drug attributes
for both manufacturers and patient.
12. USES OF SOLVENT IN PHARMACEUTICAL
PREPARATIONS;
1. Synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
2. In formulation.
3. Cleaning the equipments.
4. In separation and purification.
5. As a reaction media
6. In separation and purification.
Steps involved in chemical synthesis of API
1. Reaction
2. Separation and Extraction
3. Purification
4. Drying
13. TYPES OF SOLVENTS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL
USE :
1) Purified water:
It has a solvent effect on most
substances, Purified water is water that is
mechanically filtered or processed to be cleaned
for consumption. Distilled water and deionized (DI)
water have been the most common forms of
purified water and it contains vary amounts of in-
organic salts usually Na,K,Ca+2, iron, Mg, Cl ,
sulfate and bicarbonate.
It is used in preparation of all medication
containing water except non - parenteral solutions
& some official external preparations such as
liniments.
14. 1-It has the widest range of usefulness of all the
solvents employed in pharmaceutical dispensing
&manufacturing.
2-It is a good solvent for most inorganic salts &for
many organic compounds.
3-It is miscibility with other solvents such as alcohol &
glycerin make it useful vehicle for many
pharmaceutical preparations.
* Tap (drinking) water is not normally used for
the manufacture of pharmaceutical solutions or for
extemporaneous compounding, as it contains
dissolved substances.
15. It can interfere with the formulation, for example,
reduce drug solubility and stability ((signs of
incompatibility, such as precipitation, discoloration and
occasion ally effervescence).
Advantages of water:
1- Tasteless &physiological compatibility.
2- Freedom from irritating qualities.
3- Lack of pharmacologic activity& toxicity.
Disadvantages:
1- Favorable medium for many chemical reactions
. 2- Support growth of microorganisms when
contaminated.
3- In pure form add cost to production.
16. HOW TO PURIFY THE WATER??
• Tap (drinking) water is not normally used for the
manufacture of pharmaceutical solutions or for
extemporaneous compounding, as it contains
dissolved substances which could interfere with the
formulation, for example, reduce drug solubility and
stability ((signs of incompatibility, such as
precipitation, discoloration and occasionally
effervescence).
• * D.W. subjects to "distillation" so as to remove
salts of Ca and Mg from it, and hence it is called
D.W.
17. Water can be purified by other processes including
Reverse osmosis, carbon filtration, microfiltration,
ultrafiltration, ultraviolet oxidation and electro
dialysis.
Deionization method possesses a number of
advantages as compared to distillation process:
1- Elimination of the use of heat.
2- simple equipment
3- Lower cost.
4- Easy of production &storage.
18. In the deionization method, we used the
exchangers which are synthetic polymeric resins of
high molecular weight in soluble in water & high
content of free amino, sulfonic acid or phenolic
functions.
Polymeric resins are of two types:
Cationic resins
Anionic reasons
19. USP DIVIDED WATERS DEPENDING UPON THE
DEGREE OF PURITY INTO:
A- Purified water (D.W)
B-Water USP or drinking water: it is allowed to use In :
Washing &extraction of a crude drugs.
Preparation of product for external use.
In other preparations in which the difference between
water & purified water (D.W) is of no effect.
Water USP is not suitable for general
pharmaceutical use?? Because of the considerable amount
of dissolved solid present.
20. If we compared between water &purified water
100ml water after evaporation &drying yields about
100mg of residue, while , 100ml purified water after
evaporation &drying yields not more than 1mg of
residue .
These residues are the dissolved solids in water
so the only difference between water &purified
water is in the amount of total dissolved solids
(chloride, sulfate, bicarbonate of sodium,
potassium, calcium & magnesium). Water is clear,
colorless & odorless. It's PH is neutral.
21. C- Water for injection:
This is a pyrogen free water purified by
distillation. it is used for preparation of products for
parenteral use (intravenous, intramuscular).it is
intended for use as a solvent only in solution that
are to be sterilized after preparation. It contains no
added substances &meets the requirement of the
tests (pyrogen test) for purified water.
D-Sterile water for injection:
It is water for injection sterilized &packaged in a
suitable single dose container of glass type of not
larger than 1000ml size.
22. The preparation must meet the requirement of
sterility test & the pyrogen test.
E-Bacteriostatic water for injection:
this is sterilized water for injection containing
Bacteriostatic agent, it may package in a single
dose container not larger than 5ml size &in
multidose of not larger than 30ml.
F-CO2-free water:
For formulation of solutions of some drugs (e.g.
aminophylline), it must be free from carbon dioxide.
This is obtained by boiling distilled water for 10
minutes, cooled and sealed in their containers and
then sterilized.
23. G-Sterile water for inhalation:
Is prepared from water for injections that is
sterilized and suitably packaged. It contains no anti-
microbial agents, except when used in humidifiers
or similar devices and when liable contamination
over a period of time or other added substances.
Note: do not use sterile water for inhalation for
Parentral administration
24. H- Sterile water for irrigation:
Sterile Water for Irrigation USP is a sterile,
hypotonic, non- pyrogenic irrigating fluid or
pharmaceutical aid (solvent) entirely composed of
Sterile Water for Injection USP. It is prepared by
distillation and contains no antimicrobial or
Bacteriostatic agents or added buffers. The pH is
5.7. ((Irrigation means washing, such as washing
an organ after a certain surgery (operation)
25. 2) ALCOHOL USP: SUCH AS ETHYL ALCOHOL,
ETHANOL, C2H5OH:
1- Alcohol is next to water is the most useful solvent.
2-it is a good solvent for many organic subs. both
natural &synthetic.
3-it is dissolve important plant constituents such as
resins, volatile oils, alkaloids, glycosides &neutral
principles.
4- Together with water it forms hydro-alcoholic
solvent which dissolves both water soluble and
alcohol soluble subs. and to extract active
constituents from crud drug.
5- Dehydrated alcohol USP (absolute alcohol)
contains not less than (99.5%)
26. 6-Alcohol has advantages over the water; it is not
subjected to deterioration (growth of
microorganisms). ((Used in liquid products as an
antimicrobial preservative alone or with other
agents)).
7- Alcohol is frequently used with other solvents such
as glycols & glycerin to reduce the amount of
alcohol required.
8-It is used for OTC oral products intended for
children under (6 years), the recommended alcohol
contains limit for product is over: (0.5%) for children
under (6 years), (5%) for children (6-12 years), (10
%) for over 12 years.
27. 3) DILUTED ALCOHOL (NF):
It is prepared by mixing equals volumes of
alcohol USP with purified water USP. The final
volume of such mixtures is not the sum of the
individual volumes of the two components because
the liquids contract upon mixing so the final volume
is generally about 3% less than would be expected.
Diluted alcohol is a useful hydro alcoholic solvent in
various pharmaceutical processes and preparation.
28. 4) ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL:
It is about 70% by volume Isopropyl alcohol, the
remaining consisting of water with or without color
additives ,stabilizers & perfume oils .it is used
externally as a rubefacient & soothing rub & as a
vehicle for topical products. This preparation is 91%
isopropyl alcohol solution is commonly used by
diabetic patients in preparing needles & syringes for
subcutaneous injections of insulin & for disinfecting
the skin. Also Used as solvent in cosmetic and
dermatologic preparations.
29. 5) GLYCERIN USP (GLYCEROL):
1-It's clear liquid with sweet taste.
2- It is miscible with both water and alcohol but not
with ether and chloroform.
3- As a solvent it is viscous, therefore solute is slowly
soluble in it, unless it is render to less viscosity by
"heating".
4-Glycerin has preservative stabilizer property.
5- It is used in many internally preparations
(suppository) and ear drops because it softens the
wax found in the ear.
30. 6) PROPYLENE GLYCOL USP:
Viscous liquid miscible with water and alcohol
in all proportion and is soluble in ether, acetone and
chloroform.
It is useful solvent with a wide range of
applications and is frequently substituted with
glycerin in modern pharmaceutical& cosmetic
preparations.
31. 7) POLY ETHYLENE GLYCOL 400:
1-it is miscible with water, acetone, alcohol & other
glycols.
2-it dissolves many water–soluble organic
compounds & certain water soluble subs. Such as
acetyl salicylic acid & theophylline.
32. 8) KETONE
There are only two official solvent-vehicles in the
ketone group.
1. Acetone
2. Methyl iso Butyl Ketone
Methyl ethyl ketone is not an official substance, But
according to the section of USP it is used as a
solvent for assays, tests and processing.
Why we not use ketone officially?
Officially ketone have limited usefulness because
of their; Volatility, flammability and toxicity. They
do have some unique solvent properties which
make them useful.
33. It is miscible with water, alcohol, ether,
chloroform and in most of the oils.
Precaution:
It is stored in tight containers and stored remote
from fire.
34. OILS
Some special vegetables and essential oils used
primarily as flavors and scents.
The National Formulary section of USP-NF has
monographs for various oils of this type such as;
Anise oil, Lemon oil and Rose oil.
Insoluble in water, miscible in mineral oil, slightly
soluble in alcohol and soluble in other fixed oils,
chloroform, and ether.
35. BOLING POINTS OF SOLVENTS
An important property of the solvents is the boiling
point. This is also determines the speed of
evaporation.
Small amounts of low boiling- points solvent
like diethyl ether , dichloromethane or acetone will
evaporate in seconds at room temperature, while
high-boiling point solvents like water or diethyl
sulphoxide need higher temperatures, an air flow,
or the application of vacuum for fast evaporation.
Low boilers: Boiling point below 100°C.
Medium boilers: Below 100°C and 150°C.
Higher boilers: Above150°C.
36. DENSITY
Most organic solvents used in pharmaceutical
preparations have a lower density than water;
which means they are lighter and will form a
separate layer on the top of water.
Exception:
Most of the halogenated solvents like
dichloromethane and chloroform will sink to the
bottom of the container, leaving water as the top
layer.
This is important to remember when
partitioning compounds between solvents and
water in a separately funnel during chemical
synthesis.
37. Often specific gravity is cited in place of density.
Specific gravity is defined as ;
“Density of the solvent dived by density of
water as the same temperature”.
As specific gravity is a unit less property, it
readlly communicates weather a water is insoluble
solvent will float (SG≥1.0) or sink with water.
