Types of insulin
This document discusses different types of insulin, including rapid-acting, long-acting, and premixed analogs. Rapid-acting analogs like insulin lispro and insulin aspart have a faster onset and shorter duration than regular human insulin. Long-acting analogs such as insulin glargine, insulin detemir and insulin degludec are designed to provide basal insulin levels for 24 hours or more with less variability than NPH insulin. Premixed analogs contain both rapid- and long-acting components. The document also briefly mentions new methods of insulin delivery under development.
Indomethacin
Indomethacin is a non-selective COX inhibitor NSAID that can be taken orally, as eye drops, or as a suppository. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and neutrophil migration to reduce inflammation, fever, and pain. Indomethacin is used to treat ankylosing spondylitis, acute gout, and psoriatic arthritis but can cause gastrointestinal irritation, bleeding, headaches, dizziness, and rashes as side effects. It is contraindicated in patients with epilepsy, psychiatric conditions, renal disease, pregnancy, or children.
LEVOTHYROXINE.pptx
Levothyroxine is a synthetic hormone that mimics the effects of the thyroid hormone T4. It is primarily used to treat hypothyroidism when the thyroid gland is underactive. Levothyroxine works by binding to thyroid receptor proteins in cells and activating gene transcription to produce proteins. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and insomnia. It should not be used in people with hyperthyroidism, adrenal conditions, heart disease, or allergies to the drug.
Simmonds Disease
Simmonds disease is a chronic deficiency of function of the pituitary gland, a form of hypopituitarism, that leads to atrophy of many of the viscera, including the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, thyroid, adrenals, and gonads. The disease results in emaciation and death if left untreated.
Pharmacotherapy of diabetes mellitus
This document summarizes the pharmacotherapy of diabetes mellitus. It discusses the classification, diagnosis, and pathophysiology of diabetes. It also describes the types of insulin preparations including human insulin, insulin analogs, and their mechanisms of action and indications. The document provides examples of insulin dosing regimens for type 1 diabetes, including an example case of calculating the initial daily insulin dose for a 14-year-old patient presenting with polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss.

This document outlines the key components of non-pharmacological diabetes management, including diabetes self-management education, medical nutrition therapy, physical activity, smoking cessation, immunization, psychological issues, exercise, stress management, foot care, education, self-monitoring of blood glucose, diet, and lifestyle management. It provides details on recommendations and guidelines for each component from organizations like the International Diabetes Federation, emphasizing that non-pharmacological approaches are effective, safe and can be affordable forms of diabetes care when implemented properly through education and lifestyle changes.
Inject Insulin
The document provides instructions for administering insulin injections and discusses insulin delivery devices. It explains that insulin can be injected into the abdomen, outer arms, thighs, buttocks or hips. Modern insulin pens and pumps have made injections easier to use and virtually painless. The document also addresses common myths about insulin and notes that newer insulin analogues are more convenient and effective than older forms.
Dpp – 4 inhibitors
DPP-4 inhibitors work by inhibiting the breakdown of the incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP, prolonging their effects and enhancing insulin secretion. They reduce blood glucose levels with a low risk of hypoglycemia and are weight neutral. Several DPP-4 inhibitors are available or in development for treating type 2 diabetes, including sitagliptin, saxagliptin, and linagliptin. DPP-4 inhibitors offer an effective treatment either alone or in combination with other drugs, with advantages like fewer side effects, safety in hepatic or renal impairment, and possible cardiovascular benefits. More research is still needed to fully evaluate their long-term safety profile.

Dopamine
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that regulates cardiac, vascular and endocrine function. It was discovered in 1958 that dopamine acts as a neurotransmitter in addition to being a precursor for norepinephrine. Dopamine acts through D1 and D2 receptors in areas like the striatum, limbic system, thalamus and hypothalamus. At low doses, it increases blood flow and sodium excretion. At intermediate doses, it increases heart rate and contractility. At high doses, it causes vasoconstriction. Dopamine is used to treat cardiogenic and septic shock, and to prevent or reverse acute renal failure.

Laboratory tests showed increased white blood cell count and CSF analysis was consistent with meningitis. MRI showed leptomeningeal enhancement suggestive of meningitis. She was diagnosed with acute meningitis and conjunctivitis. Her treatment included antibiotics, antipyretics, eye drops, and supportive care. Her symptoms gradually improved and she was discharged after 30 days with oral medications.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders caused by defects in insulin production or insulin action, resulting in hyperglycemia. The total number of people with diabetes worldwide is projected to rise from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million by 2030. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Genetic susceptibility, autoimmune factors, and environmental triggers like viral infections contribute to the pathogenesis. Multiple genes influence the risk of developing type 1 diabetes, with the HLA locus conferring the greatest risk. Islet cell autoantibodies against insulin, GAD, and IA-2 are markers for disease progression.
Case study Hepatitis
Mr. Grey, a 37-year-old unmarried man, presented with general weakness, headaches, restlessness, and loss of sleep for the past 6 months. His liver enzymes were elevated and he tested positive for HBsAg and anti-HBe, indicating hepatitis B. An ultrasound showed his liver was normal size with no masses but borderline splenomegaly. He is considered an inactive hepatitis B carrier based on being HBeAg negative, having normal ALT levels, and a low viral load. Follow up tests are needed to determine if he has chronic hepatitis B or is truly an inactive carrier.
Insulin therapy

- High-risk groups include young children, elderly adults, pregnant women and those with underlying health conditions.
- Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat and body aches. Severe cases can lead to pneumonia or respiratory failure.
- Diagnosis involves virus detection tests on respiratory samples. Treatment focuses on antiviral drugs, rest and fever control. Prevention includes annual flu vaccines and good hygiene practices.
Chapter05
This document provides an overview of chapter 5 which discusses therapy for fungi and viruses. It begins by outlining the chapter topics which include fungi/antifungals and viruses/antivirals. The learning objectives are then stated. The document then discusses the characteristics of fungi and viruses, how they infect cells, their classification, and how antifungals/antivirals work. Specific antifungal, antiviral, and antiretroviral drugs are also outlined along with their indications, side effects and important dispensing considerations.
Influenza
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a viral infection that affects the nose, throat, bronchi and occasionally the lungs. Common symptoms include fever, sore throat, muscle pains, coughing and fatigue. The influenza virus is classified into types A, B and C. Types A and B are responsible for seasonal flu epidemics and pandemics. The virus undergoes antigenic drift and shift, requiring new vaccines each year. At risk groups like the elderly are recommended for annual flu vaccination to prevent severe complications.
Influenza
Influenza is caused by RNA viruses of the Orthomyxoviridae family that infect the respiratory tract. There are three main types of influenza viruses - A, B, and C. Influenza A is further divided into subtypes based on two surface proteins and can undergo antigenic drift or shift. Influenza spreads through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat and fatigue. Vaccination and antiviral drugs can help prevent and treat influenza.

Tellurium has properties of both metals and nonmetals. Most of the world's tellurium production comes from extracting it as a byproduct from processing copper and other metal ores. China is currently the leading producer and exporter of tellurium. Tellurium reserves exist in several countries including the United States, China, Sweden, Japan, and Russia.

Smart Glass
Smart glasses use augmented reality technology to provide life monitoring services and allow users to take authentic video and photos. The glasses can control light like infrared and ultraviolet using electricity, allowing the glass to switch from opaque to transparent. Opticians and eyeglass businesses need to be prepared to understand, assist with, and sell smart glasses within the next 5-7 years as the technology develops further.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

- 3. Tamiflu - Oseltamivir Production The patent for oseltamivir is held by Gilead Sciences and is valid at least until 2016. Gilead licensed the exclusive rights to Roche in 1996. The drug does not enjoy patent protection in Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and several other countries. Gilead is politically well connected: Donald Rumsfeld served as chairman from 1997 until he became U.S. Secretary of Defence in 2001; former Secretary of State George Shultz and the wife of former California Governor Pete Wilson serve on the board.
