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!
New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
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
2. DEFINITION
• According to JNC VIII( Joint National
Committee)report systolic BP of less than 120 and
diastolic is taken as normal in adults greater than
18 yrs of age. A person with BP >120/80 is either
prehypertensive or hypertensive.
• Defined arbitrarily at levels above generally
accepted ‘normal’ 140/90 upto 50 yrs of age.
3. TERMS
• Labile hypertensive– patients who sometimes have
arterial pressure within the hypertensive range, turn
out to have borderline hypertension.
• White coat hypertension- patients who have normal
pressure but tends to increase whenever he/she
visits a doctor.
• 90-104 is mild hypertension, 105- 114 is moderate
hypertension, 115hg or more is severe
hypertension.
• Systolic blood pressure above 160 is isolated
systolic hypertension.
4. • Accelerated
hypertension-
significant rise over
previous hypertensive
levels associated with
vascular damage on
fundoscopic
examination but without
pappiloedema.
• Malignant
hypertension- blood
pressure above
200/130 mm hg
associated with
pappiloedema.
7. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• In larger arteries there is thickening of internal
elastic lamina, hypertrophy of smooth muscles and
fibrous tissue is deposited.the walls become less
compliant.
• In smaller arteries, atheroma is perpetuated hyaline
atherosclerosis, occurs in the walls,the lumen
narrows and aneurysm may develops.they lead to
an increase in peripheral vascular resistance
leading to rise in pressure and acceleration of
atheroma within vessel walls.
8. CLINICAL FEATURES
SYMPTOMS
• General –
headache.dizziness,
palpitation,easy
fatiguability.
• Vascular- epistaxis,
haematuria, blurring
of vision,dyspnoea
due to left heart
failure.
9. • Symptoms due to
underlying disease in
secondary hypertension-
• Episodic
headache,palpitation,sw
eating, postural
hypotension.
Polyuria,polydipsia,weig
ht gain,emotional lability,
truncal obesity due to
Cushing syndrome.
10. PHYSICAL SIGNS
• Physical examination starts with patient’s general
appearance, Rounded faces with truncal obesity and
pink striae suggest Cushing syndrome.
• Compare the blood pressures and pulses in both the
upper extremeties, measurements of supine position
must be compared with measurements during
standing, A rise in diastolic pressure from supine to
standing suggests essential hypertension
• Detection of delay between radial and femoral pulses
suggests coarctation of aorta.
• Fall in the absence of antihypertensive drugs
suggests secondary hypertension
11. COMPLICATIONS
• Aortic aneurysm formation, coronary artery
disease.
• Left ventricular hypertrophy causes cardiac failure
• Cerebral atheroma and transient cerebral
ischaemic attacks/stroke.
• Hypertensive encephalopathy, subarachnoid
hemmorhage.
• Hypertensive retinopathy( pappiledema)
• Renal failure due to chronic decrease in blood
supply to kidneys.
12. INVESTIGATIONS
BASIC- urine for protein, blood and glucose.
• Blood glucose
• Haematocrit
• Serum pottasium (for hypokalemic alkalosis or
diuretic therapy)
• Plasma urea/cretinine
• ECG(left ventricular hypertrophy or
ischaemia),Echocardiogram (chamber
enlargement)
• Chest X-RAY(Cardiomegaly or heart failure)
13. MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE
• The instrument used is sphygmomanometer.
• Always measure B.P when patient is relaxed
• The cuff of apparatus should cover up to three-
fourth of his arm, the tubings must be parallel to
arteries of arms
• Inflate it when there is radial pulse depression then
deflate and measure the value.
14. FOR SECONDARY HYPERTENSION
• Renal arteriography for renal artery stenosis.
• Plasma renin activity, plasma aldosterone, and
plasma aldosterone/renin ratio for Conn’s
syndrome.
• Urinary and plasma cortisol for Cushing syndrome.
• Angiography/MRI for coarctation of aorta
• Intravenous pyelogram and renal ultrasound. If
renal disease is suspected (polycystic disease)
15. MANAGEMENT
• GENERAL - relief of stress, regular exercise, quit
smoking, reduction of alcohol consumption, low
sodium intake diet.
• DRUG THERAPY-
ACE Inhibitors- Captopril 6.25mg daily, Enalapril
2.5mg daily slowly increased to effective
maintenance dose Captopril 25-75mg daily
• Enalapril 15-20mg or lisnopril 10-20mg daily.
SIDE EFFECTS – first dose
hypotension,rashes,proteinuria,intractable cough
and metallic taste.
16. ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR BLOCKERS –
Used for treatment of hypertension associated with
diabetes and renal diseases.they are less toxic
than ACE inhibitors and has less side effects.
• Losartan (25-100mg in single or two doses).
• Irbesartan (150-300mg once or two divided doses).
• Telmisartan (20-40mg)
BETA BLOCKERS –
• Atenolol (50-100mg daily)
• Metoprolol (100-200mg/day)
• Pindolol (15-30mg/daily)
17. They are drugs of first choice in patients of hypertension
with angina and previous MI.
Propanolol is lipid soluble and thus has CNS effects-
depression,drowsiness nightmares etc.
OTHER SIDE EFFECTS
Decreases the cardiac output as well as heart rate, can
precipitate asthma.
CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS – verapamil (80mg 8
hourly)
• Amlodipine (5-10mg daily)or
• Long acting nifedipine (5-10mg sublingual).
SIDE EFFECTS – flushing, palpitation,fluid retention and
constipation.
18. Verapamil causes bradycardia.
DIURETICS – related to sodium diuresis and volume
depletion
• Frusemide (40mg daily)
• Spironolactone(25-100mg daily)
• Thiazide diuretics
SIDE EFFECTS – gynaecomastia, hyperkalemia and
breast pain
Side effects of thiazide diuretics are- hypokalemia,
hyperuricemia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipdemia.
OTHER DRUGS –alpha blockers and vasodialators.
19.
20. MALIGNANT HYPERTENSION
• Marked elevation ofblood pressure(200/140mghg)
associated with pappiloedema.
• Manifestations- hypertensive encephalopathy
(headache,vomiting,visual
disturbances,paralysis,convulsions,coma)
• Cardiac decompenstaion (tachcardia,and signs of
congestive heart failure)
• Impairment of renal functions (oligouria and
uremia)
PATHOGENESIS – dialation of cerebral arteries and
generalised arteriolar fibrinoid necrosis contribute
to the sysmptoms.
21. MANAGEMENT
• I.V infusion of sodium nitroprusside(0.3-
1.0µg/kg/min upto 6µg/kg/min. may be required)
• I.V or I.M labetolol (2mg/min to maximum of
200mg) or I.M hydralazine(5-10mg)aliquot repeated
at half hourly interval and dose is titrated to desired
response.
• In addition to this, bed rest, sedation by I.V
diazepam may also be helpful.
• Rapid diuresis helps to relieve symptoms of
encephalopathy and CHF.
22. RESISTANT HYPERTENSION
• Defined as failure to achieve B.P control in patients
who adhere to full drug regime.it may be true or
pseudoresistant
PSEUDORESISTANT HYPERTENSION – causes
include improper BP measuremen,white coat
hypertension, concurrent use of NSAIDs alcohol
etc.
MANAGEMENT – Proper BP measurement
• Restrict salt intake
• Treatment – regime with a diuretic, an ACE
inhibitor,a long acting calcium channel blocker and
a beta blocker
• Add spironolactone or amiloride as an alternative.
