Possible health effect_of_radiation
This document discusses the different types of radiation and their health effects. It outlines ionizing radiation, which can break down body structures and cause nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and death at high levels. Two types of radiation from Fukushima are cesium-137, which can cause sarcoma and contaminate foods/water, and iodine-131, which can cause thyroid tumors but can be prevented with iodine tablets. The document concludes by noting the need to monitor radiation levels until Fukushima is stopped and consider new energy resources to replace nuclear power.

The document describes how the Indian Ocean tsunami warning system works. After the devastating 2004 tsunami, countries around the Indian Ocean realized they needed a warning system like the one used in the Pacific. They installed sea level monitoring instruments that detect tsunamis and send data to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. The PTWC then issues warnings via radio, TV, SMS, email and other means. Education efforts teach people what to do upon receiving a warning to help minimize damage from future tsunamis.

The Indian Ocean tsunami warning system works as follows:
1) Earthquakes in the Indian Ocean are detected by various data sources which transmit this data to warning centers in Hawaii and Japan to analyze and determine potential for tsunamis.
2) These warning centers predict tsunami arrival times and share this information with regional agencies.
3) These regional agencies then alert local populations through methods like radio, TV, SMS, and loudspeakers. Drills help facilitate quick evacuations.
QNet presents Fibre Fit - Presentation (2011)
Dietary fibre is essential for good digestive health and is found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. There are two types of fibre - soluble fibre, found in oats and fruits, which lowers cholesterol levels, and insoluble fibre, found in wheat and nuts, which promotes digestive regularity. A high-fibre diet provides many health benefits like preventing constipation, lowering disease risks, and aiding weight management. FibreFit is a natural, soluble fibre supplement that provides these benefits without adding sugar or other additives.
The Outcome Economy
1) The document discusses the opportunity for technology to improve organizational efficiency and transition economies into a "smart and clean world."
2) It argues that aggregate efficiency has stalled at around 22% for 30 years due to limitations of the Second Industrial Revolution, but that digitizing transport, energy, and communication through technologies like blockchain can help manage resources and increase efficiency.
3) Technologies like precision agriculture, cloud computing, robotics, and autonomous vehicles may allow for "dematerialization" and do more with fewer physical resources through effects like reduced waste and need for transportation/logistics infrastructure.

The document discusses the potential health effects of radiation exposure from the Fukushima nuclear crisis. It explains that there are two types of radiation: non-ionizing and ionizing. Ionizing radiation, which includes gamma rays and X-rays, can cause cancer if a person is exposed in large enough doses. Symptoms of radiation exposure include nausea, fatigue, vomiting, hair loss and diarrhea. The document also notes that radioactive iodine and cesium emitted from the Fukushima plant can be absorbed by the body and pose health risks, particularly to children, if exposure levels are high enough. It concludes that while not all radiation is dangerous, increased exposure could raise cancer risks.
Possible health effects of nuclear crisis
Ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds and cause health effects like nausea, fatigue, vomiting, hair loss and diarrhea. Exposure to 500,000 microsieverts can cause nausea and fatigue within hours, while 750,000 microsieverts leads to hair loss within a few weeks. A million microsieverts can cause hemorrhaging and 4 million microsieverts usually leads to death. The Chernobyl disaster directly caused 50 deaths within months and is estimated to eventually cause 4000 radiation-related deaths.
#11
The document discusses the health effects of radiation exposure. There are two types of radiation - ionizing and non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation is dangerous as it can break chemical bonds. Exposure to ionizing radiation can cause initial symptoms like nausea and fatigue with heavier exposures damaging organs. Different levels of exposure are measured in sieverts, with exposures over 500,000 microsieverts causing health effects and over 4,000,000 microsieverts being lethal. Radionuclides from nuclear events can contaminate the environment and accumulate in food and water.
Nuclear radiation effects
The document discusses the effects of radiation on health from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. It explains that there are two types of radiation: non-ionizing and ionizing. Ionizing radiation is more dangerous and can cause cancer. Exposure to radiation can initially cause nausea, fatigue and vomiting, and higher exposures may lead to hair loss, diarrhea, destruction of the intestinal lining, and eventually death. Cesium-137 and iodine-131 are particularly dangerous isotopes released during nuclear accidents. The document concludes by noting the sievert measurement of radiation dose and the types of sickness that different doses can cause.

This document discusses the different types of radiation and their effects on human health. There are two main types - ionizing radiation, which can break chemical bonds and cause cancer, and non-ionizing radiation, which is not believed to cause cancer. Ionizing radiation includes X-rays and gamma rays and can cause nausea, fatigue, vomiting, hair loss, diarrhea and even death with higher exposure. The nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 killed approximately 166,000 people from the blast and radiation exposure and up to 100,000 additional people later died from radiation-induced cancers.
Possible health effects
Ionizing radiation from the Fukushima nuclear accident poses health risks. Exposure to high levels of radiation can cause nausea, hair loss, hemorrhaging and death. While radiation levels near Fukushima are elevated, levels in Tokyo are only 10 times higher than normal which is still considered very low and unlikely to cause immediate health effects. However, Japan will need to monitor long term health consequences from the accident.

Ionizing radiation can cause health effects depending on the duration of exposure. Cesium-137 and iodine-131 are especially dangerous because iodine-131 is absorbed by the thyroid gland where it can cause tumors, and it has a short half-life of 8 days, posing risks especially to children. Small doses of radiation over a lifetime that total 10,000 microsieverts may result in 5-6 additional cancer deaths per 10,000 people exposed compared to those not exposed.
Health effect of nuclear crisis
Ionizing radiation can be harmful by breaking molecules like DNA and causing cancer. The effects of radiation exposure include initial nausea and fatigue, then potential hair loss, diarrhea, organ damage, and eventually death at high levels. While nuclear power plants operate at lower uranium concentrations than nuclear bombs, radiation from the Fukushima crisis included dangerous iodine-131 and cesium-137 isotopes. Exposure levels over 500,000 microsieverts can cause short-term sickness, and doses over 1 million microsieverts lead to further health issues.

The document discusses the potential health effects of radiation exposure from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant crisis. It explains that ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds and cause cancer if exposure levels are high enough. Initial symptoms of radiation sickness include nausea, fatigue and vomiting, while very high exposure leads to organ damage, loss of consciousness and death. Certain radioactive isotopes like Cesium-137 and Iodine-131 are especially dangerous if ingested due to accumulation in soft tissues and the thyroid gland. The document provides exposure levels in microsieverts that correspond to different health effects ranging from mild sickness to death.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
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.
2nd-generation Antihistaminic Part I.pptx
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects
