Microbial agents like rubella virus, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasma gondii, and Treponema pallidum can cause birth defects when a woman is exposed during pregnancy. These microbes may directly damage the fetus or disrupt the immune response. Common effects include premature birth, growth problems, neurological abnormalities, and damage to organs like the eyes, liver, heart and ears. While exposure to ionizing radiation is a potential risk, most diagnostic procedures expose the fetus to less than 50 mSv of radiation, which is a dose unlikely to increase risks. Prescription drugs are also a concern, as several classes of medications like tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, and anticonvulsants

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. • Teras-”monster” Gensis-”producing”
• A teratogen is defined as any agent
that results in structural or functional
abnormalities (malformation ) in the
fetus, or in the child after birth, as a
consequence of maternal exposure
during pregnancy.
• Birth defects are known to occur in 3-
5% of all newborns.
• They can do direct damage to the
fetus, causing abnormal development.
Introduction
3. Teratogens are substances that may produce physical or functional defects in
the human embryo or fetus after the pregnant woman is exposed to the
substance.
Alcohol and cocaine are examples of such substances. Exposure to the
teratogen affects the fetus or embryo in a variety of ways, such as the
duration of exposure, the amount of teratogenic substance, and the stage of
development the embryo or fetus is in during the exposure.
They affect the embryo or fetus in a number of ways, causing physical
malformations, problems in the behavioral or emotional development of the
child, and decreased intellectual quotient (IQ) in the child.
4. History
• The word teratogen originates from the
Greek word for monster, teratos, Isidore
Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, a physician from
Paris, France, defined it in 1932 .
• People had sought explanations for
abnormal human and animal
development, however, for centuries,
and they had developed different
theories about the causes for the
abnormalities.
• The study of teratology has interested
both developmental biologists and
physicians alike.
5. • Teratogens are classified into four types:
1. physical agents,
2. metabolic conditions,
3. infection,
4. and finally, drugs and chemicals
6. Causes of teratogenesis
• Abnormal development may be caused by errors in
genetic programming, from environmental agents /
factors or from unknown causes that interfere with
development.
• About 7 % of all live birth defects are due to prenatal
exposure to radiation, environmental factors,
chemicals and drugs. Abnormalities caused by
genetic events, e.g. mutation in genes, structural
changes in chromosomes and aneuploidies, etc. are
called malformations
• Abnormalities caused by environmental agents are
called disruptions. The environmental factors may be
either biological (e.g. viruses and parasites) or non
biological such as physical factors (e.g. temperature,
radiation) and chemical factors (e.g. drug, chemicals
and nutritional imbalances).
7. The agents responsible for the disruptions are called teratogens.
Mutagens and carcinogens also are the causes of abnormal
development but their mode of action differ. Teratogens are
agents that affect the embryo at dose levels. They are harmless
to adult organisms and do not permanently damage the genetic
material. On the other hand, mutagens are agents that alter the
genes, whereas carcinogens are agents that lead to excessive
growth and loss of differentiation, generally in adult tissue.
8. A list of some teratogenic agents causing birth defects
Natural Teratogens Some poisonous plants like Skunk
cabbage veratrum, Ionizing
radiations
Pharmaceutical Teratogens Thalidoamide ,Tetracycline,
Streptomycin ,Valproic acid, Warfarin
Diethylstilbestrol, Retionic acid,
Pencillin
Industrial Teratogens Lead, Methyl, mercury, Cadmium,
Arsenic
Microbial Teratogens Treponema pallidum (syphilis),
Coxsackie virus, Herpes simplex,
Rubella (German measles),
Cytomeagalo virus (CMV)
Metabolic conditions in the mother Diabetes, Auto immune disease
(including Rh incompatibility),
Phenylketonuria, Dietary deficiencies,
malnutrition
9. Microbial teratogens
• This class of teratogens includes infectious
microorganisms. These microbes affect 1-5%
of all live births and are among the leading
causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality.
General symptoms include premature birth,
growth retardation, neurological
abnormalities, damage of the eye, liver, heart
and ear along with bone lesions.
10. Rubella
Abnormal babies are born to women suffering from Rubella (German
measles) during the first five weeks of pregnancy. The abnormalities
include, microphthalmia, cataracts, glaucoma, cardiac malformations,
hearing loss and mental retardation. The mode of action of the pathogen
can be direct viral effects or damage to immune response.
In 1969, Rubella vaccine was introduced. Since then the cases of congenital
Rubella syndrome have decreased significantly .
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) & Herpes simplex
Cytomegalovirus infection early in gestation is fatal while infection of later
embryos might lead to blindness, deafness, cerebral palsy and mental
retardation. CMV damage including hepatitis, gestational prematurity,
anemia. Mode of action of CMV is similar to that of rubella virus, i.e. cell
lysis and immune response.
11. Toxoplasma
Toxoplasma goondii is a protozoan parasite carried by rabbits and
cats. It can cross the placenta causing hydrocephaly,
microphthalmia, brain lesions and multiple organ damage. Fetal
infection occurs approximately one in four thousand pregnancies.
The fetal damage caused by the teratogen is maxmium if the mother
is infected in third trimester resulting in 60% of the infected new
born.
Syphilis
Treponema pallidum is the cause of syphilis. Several hundred
children are born each year with syphilis. Early infection most often
results in spontaneous abortion. New born which survive are anemic
having spleen and liver malformations. Infection during late
pregnancy results in deafness, dental and bony abnormalities,
cardiovascular defects and skin lesions.
18. TETRACYCLINE
• Protein synthesis inhibitor
• Inhibit the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-
ribosomes complex
Aminoacyl-tRNA mRNA-ribosomes
complex
by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit in mRNA translation
complex
19. SIDE EFFECTS
• IN PREGNANCY…..
dental discoloration in children
maternal hepatotoxicity (drug that cause injury to
liver) with large parenteral doses
20. CHLORAMPHENICOL
• Bacteriostatic drug that stop bacterial growth by inhibiting
protein synthesis
• Prevent protein chain elongation by inhibiting peptidyl
transferase activity of bacterial chromosome
• Intravenous chloramphenicol use has been associated with
Gray Baby syndrome
This occur in newborn infants because their liver enzymes
not yet fully developed
21. • Hypotension
• Cyanosis
The condition can be prevented by using the drug
at recommended doses & monitoring blood levels
Gray Baby Syndrome
Adverse effects
22. AMINOGLYCOSIDES
• EG: GENTAMICIN, STREPTOMYCIN
• Have several potential antibiotic mechanisms
• Disrupt the integrity of the bacterial cell
membrane
23. SULFAMETHOXAZOLE,
TRIMETHOPRIM
• Sulfonamide is a bacteriostatic antibiotic
• Structural analogs and competitive antagonist
of PABA
• Inhibit normal bacterial utilisation of PABA
for the synthesis of folic acid
• Used as a bacteriostatic antibiotic in treatment
of urinary tract infections
25. Is an Eclipse harmful during pregnancy?
• There is no evidence to suggest that an eclipse can harm a pregnant mum or
her baby.
• Eclipses are seen all over the world and in many countries there is no
tradition of staying indoors during one. However, in many cultures, an
eclipse is considered a bad omen.
• There are some superstitions that an eclipse can cause deformities such as
a cleft lip or unsightly birthmarks, but the scientific evidence does not
support this belief
• If you are out and about during an eclipse, one precaution you do need to
take is to protect your eyes. In an eclipse, it is possible to look directly at
the sun without much discomfort to your eyes at the time. But doing so can
cause severe damage to your eyes without you even knowing it.
26. Pregnancy and radiation exposure
• Ionizing radiation is the kind of electromagnetic radiation produced
by x-ray machines, radioactive isotopes, and radiation therapy
machines. There is potential for the embryo or fetus to be exposed
during the diagnostic or therapeutic procedures for women who are
pregnant .
• To determine the risks of a radiation exposure, it is best to request a
consultation from a health physicist who works at or consults for the
organization where the procedures were performed. In many
instances, an evaluation of the radiation exposure would not be
necessary because the radiological procedure did not expose the
developing embryo.
• Most diagnostic procedures expose the embryo to less than 50
mSv. This level of radiation exposure will not increase reproductive
risks (either birth defects or miscarriage). According to published
information, the reported dose of radiation to result in an increased
incidence of birth defects or miscarriage is above 200 mSv.
27. CONCLUSIONS
• BE CAREFUL IN TAKING DRUGS DURING
PREGNANCY
• ALL CLINICIANS INCLUDING PHARMACISTS
ARE RESPONSIBLE TO COUNSEL PATIENTS WITH
COMPLETE , ACCURATE AND CURRENT
INFORMATION ON THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF
USING MEDICATIONS DURING PREGNANCY
