Review on Coronavirus Disease2019 Transmission, Diagnosis And treatment
type: item
description: COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2, which first appeared in Wuhan, Hubei Prvince, Central China, in December 2019 and has spread rapidly since then. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by an infection with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) and has caused one of the largest global outbreaks in recent years, posing a serious threat to global public health. World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global health emergency on January 30, 2020. Despite global efforts to prevent SARS-CoV2 transmission by quarantining infected people and their family members, social distancing, and school closures, the spread of infection could not be stopped. The case fatality rate is estimated to range from 2 to 3%. Diagnosis is by demonstration of the virus in respiratory secretions by special molecular tests. Common laboratory findings include normal/ low white cell counts with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP). The computerized tomographic chest scan is usually abnormal even in those with no symptoms or mild disease. Treatment is essentially supportive; role of antiviral agents is yet to be established

Colorectal Cancer Review
type: item
description: Cancer had become a common disease worldwide and cancer related death is also increasing in various parts of the world in spite of increased screening and diagnostic facilities available with effective treatment modalities and modern technologies. The prevalence of different type of cancer varies with variation in the living environment, differences in the ethnicity, diet and life style. Early detection of cancer and availability of advanced health care system makes it possible to reduce cancer related mortalities. Life style modification, sedentary life style, processed food and fast-food consumption, lack of fibre rich food in the diet, stress causes alteration in the microenvironment of the cells leading to genetic changes and mutation. Mutation in the cellular level becomes the primary reason for the development of cancer cells. Colorectal cancer prevalence, risk factors for the development of colorectal cancer, pathogenesis, diagnosis and various treatment modalities available are discussed in this article.

A Systematic Review of Pharmacovigilance and Adverse Drug Reaction
type: item
description: The history of pharmacovigilance started back 169 years ago with the death of a 15- year-old girl, Hannah Greener. However, the Thalidomide incident of 1961 brought a sharp change in the pharmacovigilance process, with adverse drug reaction reporting being systematic, spontaneous, and regulated timely. Therefore, continuous monitoring of marketed drugs was essential to ensure the safety of public health. Any observed adverse drug reaction detected by signals was to be reported by the health profession. Moreover, signal detection became the primary goal of pharmacovigilance based on reported cases. Among various methods used for signal detection, the Spontaneous Reporting System was most widely preferred; although, it had the limitation of "underreporting". Gradually, the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre and "Uppsala Monitoring Centre" were established in 1978 for international monitoring of drugs. The center was responsible for operating various databases like vigiflow, vigibase, vigilyze, and vigiaccess. Recently, huge data could be generated through spontaneous reporting linked with computational methods, such as Bayesian Framework, ESynthesis. Furthermore, drug safety surveillance at an early stage prior to the official alerts or regulatory changes was made possible through social media. In addition, India created a National Pharmacovigilance Program, and Schedule Y of the Drug and Cosmetic Act 1945 was reviewed and amended in 2005

Toxicity Profile Related Toimmune Check Point Inhibitors:a Comprehensive Review
type: item
description: Immunotherapies are changing the scope of advanced solid tumour treatment. These molecules that increase the endogenous immune response against molecules that increase the endogenous immune response against tumours. They have revolutionized the field of oncology. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are monoclonal antibodies that are used to treat over one in three cancer patients, checkpoint inhibitors, such as CTLA-4 or PD1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies, and CSF-1R antibodies. Cancer immunotherapies have unique toxicity profile different from other cancer therapies, which presents difficult for physician in ruling out and addressing adverse effects produced by inflammation brought immune response activation. Any organ or system in the body may have adverse effects; however, GI, dermatologic, hepatic, endocrine, and pulmonary toxicities are the most frequent. Any changes should raise an alert that they are related to the medication. Immune related adverse effects (irAEs) vary with incidence and onset depending on the type and dosage of Immune check point inhibitors used. Checkpoint inhibitors therapy is frequently continued even in the event of minor irAEs. However, fatal results have been recorded in instances involving moderate to severe irAEs, and these toxicities require early detection along with suitable care. They can additionally lead to life-threatening decreases in organ function and health related quality of life (HRQL).

Ribose 5 Phosphate I Some Rased Eficiency: A Rare Metabolic Disorder
type: item
description: An enzymopathy of the pentose phosphate pathway is ribose 5-phosphate isomerase (RPI) deficiency. One rare condition that no medication can prevent is ribose 5-phosphate isomerase. These diseases, which cause the brain's mucus and white matter to build abnormally and impair brain function, are the most underappreciated. And as a result, people pass away. In this condition, the amount of cerebral white matter increases and decreases, elevating the Dribitol level. Residue exchange cannot be entirely blamed for the RPI activity observed in patient cells.The rarest conceivable disease, ribose-5-phosphate i somerase deficiency, is a malfunction in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) with only one confirmed case. Because ribose-5-phosphate isomerase is an enzyme involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, mutations in this enzyme can cause ribose 5 phosphate isomerase deficiency, the most uncommon condition. Ribose 5 phosphate utilizes the purine synthesis pathway to initiate the production of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP). Ribose and ribose phosphate are the products as well as the intermediates of the pentose phosphate pathway.A fairly uncommon, hereditary pentose phosphate metabolism condition called ribose-5-P isomerase deficiency is characterized by a progressive leukoencephalopathy and significantly elevated levels of ribitol and D-arabitol in the brain and bodily fluids. Unstable ribose 5 phosphate enzyme synthesis is the cause of ribose 5 phosphate isomerase. Any disease that affects the human body, such as optic atrophy, cerebellar ataxia, seizures, or epilepsy, is the cause of them. Treatment for diseases resulting from ribose 5 phosphate isomerase problem is utilized to diagnose them.

A Systematic Review Onphy to Chemicals Having Vascular Protective Effects
type: item
description: Vascular endothelial dysfunction, characterized by imbalances in vasodilation and constriction, deficiency of nitric oxide bioavailability, and elevated reactive oxygen species, is a key factor in cardiovascular diseases like hypertension, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. Regular consumption of medicinal plants, fruits, and vegetables can promote vascular health and lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Phytochemical compounds found in these resources, such as curcumin have potential therapeutic agents for vascular dysfunction due to their antioxidative mechanisms. However, further human studies are needed to confirm these effects. Also, medicinal properties against CVDs of 4 widely used plants namely ginseng, ginkgo biloba, Ganoderma lucidum, gynostemma pentaphyllum are discussed in this review to provide recent information on their vascular protective mechanisms in vivo and in vitro. However, future human studies will be necessary to confirm the clinical effects of these vascular protective mechanisms. Finally, we reviewed and reported the results of the recent clinical trials and have been conducted using these medicinal herbs with special emphasis on their efficacy, safety, and toxicity. Marketed formulations and case studies regarding to vascular protective effect are also mentioned. Our study aimed to analyse and compare monthly costs along with cost variation between Ayurveda and Allopathy medicines used to treat 2 chronic disease conditions, viz. Atherosclerosis and Hypertension. The prices of Allopathic & Ayurvedic drugs mentioned in the treatment guidelines for these 2 conditions were obtained from different sources. In the case of Allopathic drugs, the %CVD ranged from 182%for DMARDs to 1184.39% for Corticosteroids. In the case of Anti-hypertensive medicines, too, the mean %CVD ranged from 84.21% for Rasaushadhi to 353.33% for Arishta, while %CVD ranged from 150.70% for ACE inhibitors to 269.85% for Calcium channel blockers for Ayurvedic and Allopathic…

A Prospective Study on Combination of Olanzapine Orrisperi Done With Fluoxetine and Their Impact on Quality of Life in Psychosis Patients
type: item
description: Objectives: To assess the quality of life, medication adherence and the ADRs in psychosis patients taking a combination of olanzapine with fluoxetine and risperidone with fluoxetine. Methods: A six-month prospective observational cohort study with 100 participants on antipsychotics was conducted at Krishna Rajendra Hospital, Mysuru, in 2023. Data, including quality of life, ADRs, and medication adherence, was collected and assessed using SF-12, Naranjo scale, and MARS-10. Results: The study encompassed 100 participants, with those aged 36-45 (29%) more prone to psychosis. Males (52%) exhibited higher susceptibility than females (48%), and higher literacy levels (65%) increased the risk. Weight range 51-70kg (74%) was common, and most with psychosis were non-alcoholic (93%) and nonsmokers (85%). Regimens improved quality of life and medication adherence. Adverse drug reactions included sleeplessness (13.02%) and weight gain (13.02%), with a total of 307 reported, 201 deemed probable and 106 possible. Conclusion: The study population shows strong adherence, indicating the efficacy and tolerance of the current medication regimen. Findings underscore the need to address both physical and mental health for overall wellbeing. Emphasizing ADR assessment aids physicians in safe treatment selection, necessitating an active surveillance system for identifying and reporting ADRs linked to antipsychotic medicines

An Overview On Environmental Toxicology
type: item
description: Medicines are prescribed for a range of illnesses and occasionally used for a variety of nonmedical purposes. There are countless documented cases where medications have caused more harm than good. Concerns over the environmental effects of medication manufacture are also becoming more widespread among scientists and environmentalists. Low concentrations of medications have been found in drinking water, ground water, surface water, sea water, and sewage treatment plant (STP) effluents in numerous nations. Acute toxicity tests have been used to examine the effects of certain medications on aquatic species. However, little is known about the long-term toxicity and possible mild consequences.[1]

A Review on Microbiology and Molecular Biology
type: item
description: Forensic microbiology is an old science in a new application. Its introduction to the forensic sciences has been a necessary response to terrorist threats. The benefits that microbiology brings to criminal investigations extend well outside those required for the investigation of terrorism. In return, microbiology has benefited from the enormous advances imposed by the need to develop tools for forensic investigation. The purpose of this article is to describe how microbiology is applied in the investigation of bioterrorism, highlighting the modern advances in technology, particularly the DNA technologies, which have assisted this discipline as a forensic practice. Predictive microbiology is based on the premise that the responses of populations of microorganisms to environmental factors are reproducible and that by characterizing foods in terms of those factors, it is possible, from past observations, to predict the responses of those microorganisms in other analogous environments. This knowledge is summarized in mathematical models to enable prediction of the behavior of microbial populations in foods over time. Predictive microbiology is a powerful tool to aid microbial food safety and quality assurance, both in its own right and to complement hazard analysis and critical control points programs, hurdle technology, and quantitative microbial risk assessment. This article considers the history, philosophy, and impetus of predictive microbiology; principles of mathematical modelling; types of predictive microbiology models; uses, strategies, and resources for ‘predictive microbiology’; and assessment of the performance of ‘predictive microbiology’ models.
