21st century is the world full of synthetics and everyone are living in the influence of synthetic substances. Altered life
styles, food habits and irregular sleep pattern had resulted not only Non communicable disease but also resulting in reduced
immunity and is risking the person more for infections. Pharma Industry has grown as big as hierarchy in recent centauries
and introduces new chemical molecules quoting as capable for treating diabetes, hypertension etc. But bitter truth is prolonged
usage these medications itself has adverse effect on liver and kidneys causes hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity or organs
specific toxicity.
Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality following drugs taken in therapeutic doses. Hepatotoxicity is a leading cause of attrition in drug development, or withdrawal or restricted use after marketing. Get For More Info Visit Us http://www.jcehapatology.com

Novel Antihypertensive Drug Used in Clinical Practice: A ReviewBRNSS Publication Hub
Introduction: Blood pressure (BP) control continues to be important in reducing cardiovascular risk, along with the modification of other cardiovascular risk factors, especially cholesterol level. Lifestyle modification to reduce BP may control Stage 1 hypertension. Drug treatment should be based on evidence of improved outcomes and individualized account for the patient age, race, and quality of life. BP varies from minute to minute and is influenced by measurement technique, time of day, emotion, pain, discomfort, hydration, temperature, exercise, posture, and drugs. Purpose of Review: In this review, we examine how synthetic novel drugs involved in the management of hypertension not only in the wider population but also within special population groups such as the elderly, pregnant women, and those with a trial fibrillation. Conclusion: The extensive synthetic work carried out shows that some molecules are very effectively managing the hypertension in all ages of patients. Summary: We have made an attempt in reviewing the literature on 1,2 pyrazoline derivatives for their medicinal uses with the help of chemical abstract, journals, and internet surfing.
2014 Report: Medicines in Development for DiabetesPhRMA
Nearly 26 million Americans are affected by diabetes—including 7 million people who are unaware they have the disease. One of the top 10 causes of death in the United States, diabetes has far-reaching implications for patients and their families and our health care system.
Biopharmaceutical Research Companies Are Developing 180 Medicines to Treat Diabetes and Related Conditions.
Drug induced disease is defined as the unintended effect of a drug that results in mortality or morbidity with symptoms sufficient to prompt a patient to seek medical attention and/or to require hospitalization and may persist even after the offending drug has been withdrawn. Drug induced diseases also called as iatrogenic diseases, are well known but least studied entity. In this review, we have collected the information from review and research articles related to the drug induced diseases. This review is intended to aid the understanding of some basic concepts regarding the drug induced diseases. This tends to provide information about the some commonly occurring drug induced disorders, the drugs responsible for inducing disorders, their prevention and some of the treatments.

Drugs that increase cardiac output
Cardiac glycosides(digoxin) act by inhibiting sodium and potassium ATP and then making more calcium available to activate contracted proteins.
Cardiac contractility and cardiac output are increased.
Onset, peak, and duration vary widely among products.
Most products are metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys.
The most common side effects are cardiac disturbances, headache, hypotension, and GI symptoms.
Also common are blurred vision and yellow-green halos.
Assess:
Cardiac system: B/P, pulse, respirations, and increased urine output
Apical pulse for 1 min before giving product; if pulse ,60 bpm, take again in 1 hr; if still ,60 bpm, notify prescriber
Electrolytes: K, Na, Cl, Mg; renal function studies, including BUN and creatinine; and blood studies
Evaluate: Therapeutic response: decreased weight, edema, pulse, respiration; increased urine output
Potential of edible plant in regulation of obesity and metabolic abnormalitie...Vikas Kumar Jain

ABSTRACT
Over the last decade, diabetes mellitus has emerged as an important clinical and public health
problem throughout the world. The aim of the study is perceive the Potentiality of a newer oral
Antihyperglycemic combination therapy over conventional therapy in type 2 diabetes. The
prospective study was conducted over a period of six months in the department of Medicine,
Guntur City Hospital. The prevalence of type2 diabetes was high in male 65.79 % than female
34.21%. Majority of the patients (23.68 %) belonged to age group of 51–55 years. Majority of
patients (55.26%) having a family history of Diabetes. Majority of patients receiving Combination
of Glibenclamide + Metformin (60.53%), evaluated for effect on FPG for both combinations. The
mean changes in FPG were noted. In the same way effect on HbA1c also noted. Mean changes in
for every month HbA1c will be noted. Our study reveals that Combination therapy with Metformin
plus Glimepiride is more effective than Glibenclamide plus Metformin; in improving glycemic
control in type 2 diabetes, while also allowing a reduction of the dosage of each drug.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
