1. Many physiological changes during pregnancy can affect how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted from the body. This may increase or decrease their effects.
2. Some drugs taken during pregnancy can cause birth defects or other problems in the developing fetus. These are called teratogens and their effects depend on factors like dosage and the stage of pregnancy when exposed.
3. Guidelines categorize drugs into groups from A to X based on their risks during pregnancy, with Category X drugs having the highest risk of teratogenic effects like the drug thalidomide.
Every day, there is something new that may or may not have an impact on our daily practice. In this talk , we want to highlight some of these new developments
This document discusses cell structure and organelles. It notes that cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. Cells range widely in size but are generally 10-20 micrometers. Organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and vacuoles are enclosed within the cell membrane. Larger organisms are made of many cells organized into tissues, organs and organ systems.
This document provides guidelines for the clinical treatment of psoriasis. It describes the main types of psoriasis including plaque, guttate, pustular, erythrodermic, inverse and psoriatic nails. It outlines assessment measures for disease severity including PASI, BSA and DLQI. Treatment approaches discussed include topical therapies, phototherapy, systemic medications and supportive treatments. Specific therapies covered in detail include corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, methotrexate, retinoids, cyclosporine and phototherapy/photochemotherapy. Adverse effects and monitoring requirements are provided for systemic treatments.
The document discusses various drugs used to treat gastrointestinal conditions. It describes:
1) Anti-emetic drugs that work by blocking receptors like muscarinic M1, dopamine D2, histamine H1, and 5-HT3 to treat nausea and vomiting.
2) Agents for peptic ulcers like antacids, anti-secretory drugs that block receptors like H2 and muscarinic M3, and cytoprotective drugs.
3) It explains the mechanisms of gastric acid secretion mediated by receptors, second messengers like cAMP and calcium, and the hydrogen potassium ATPase pump.
Hydrops fetalis refers to edema of the fetus, involving subcutaneous edema, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and ascites. It can be caused by immune or non-immune factors, with the latter including genetic conditions, infections, tumors, and structural abnormalities. The document discusses the history, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and outcomes of hydrops fetalis. It provides overview of key figures in the study of this condition and reviews literature on rates, risk factors, and management approaches.
This clinical practice guideline provides recommendations for the treatment of urticaria and angioedema. It discusses the classification of urticaria into acute vs chronic and spontaneous vs inducible subtypes. Diagnostic tests and criteria for differentiating subtypes are presented. Treatment recommendations include second-generation antihistamines as first-line, with corticosteroids and ciclosporin as options for chronic urticaria. Anaphylaxis treatment involves epinephrine and other supportive measures.
The document discusses the history and development of thalidomide and its analogues. Thalidomide was originally introduced in the late 1950s as a sedative but was found to cause birth defects in thousands of children after being prescribed to pregnant women for morning sickness. This led to it being withdrawn in 1961. Researchers later discovered that thalidomide and its analogues have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, leading to FDA approval to treat cancers and inflammatory diseases. New analogues like lenalidomide and pomalidomide were developed that are more potent with fewer side effects.

It then discusses the etiology of hypophosphatemia including decreased intake, excessive loss, and redistribution from extracellular to intracellular spaces. Clinical signs of hypophosphatemia range from weakness to organ dysfunction. Treatment of moderate or severe hypophosphatemia involves intravenous phosphate replacement. Monitoring includes serum phosphate levels and fractional excretion of phosphate to identify underlying causes.
A 50 year old male presented with a lump in the front of the neck that moves with swallowing, breathing difficulties, and a changed voice for the past 4 months. Examination found swelling around the eyes and normal thyroid function tests. The condition is likely a goiter caused by an enlarged thyroid gland.
This summary provides the key points from the document in 3 sentences:
The document discusses a study that conditionally deleted the GATA4 and GATA6 transcription factor genes in mouse adrenocortical cells. The researchers found that mice with double deletion of these genes lacked identifiable adrenal glands, adrenocortical cells, and steroidogenic gene expression. Additionally, deletion of GATA6 alone significantly reduced adrenal size and function in adult mice, revealing that GATA factors are required for proper adrenal development and function.

Trefoil factors (TFFs) are proteins found in mucus secretions throughout the body. There are three TFFs - TFF1, TFF2, and TFF3. In the oral cavity, TFFs are expressed in salivary glands and oral mucosa. They play an important role in epithelial wound healing and regeneration by promoting cell migration and restitution. Lower levels of TFFs have been found in patients with oral diseases like periodontitis and oral cancer. TFFs show promise as biomarkers for oral diseases and potential therapeutic agents to promote wound healing.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
