The key factors that can influence toxicity are:
1. Quantity of toxin - A higher dose will generally cause more severe effects than a lower dose.
2. Route of exposure - Different routes like ingestion, inhalation, injection affect toxicity. Inhalation/injection often more toxic.
3. Individual susceptibility - Factors like age, health status, genetics can impact susceptibility. The very young and old often more vulnerable.
4. Type of toxin - Properties like solubility, ability to accumulate, interact with other chemicals impact toxicity.
5. Duration of exposure - Long-term/repeated exposure often more toxic than short-term exposure due to accumulation over time.
The document discusses specific types of toxicity including hematotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity. It provides details on the targets and mechanisms of toxicity for each organ system.

This document summarizes key concepts about random error from sampling in epidemiological research. It defines random error as occurring when a sample-based estimate differs from the true population value due to chance. Larger sample sizes reduce random error through the law of large numbers. Confidence intervals and statistical tests are two approaches to addressing random error. Confidence intervals provide a range of plausible values for population parameters based on a sample. Statistical tests evaluate the probability that an observed effect is due to chance assuming the null hypothesis is true. Both approaches can make type I or type II errors when evaluating associations. Statistical power is the probability of correctly rejecting a false null hypothesis and is influenced by sample size, effect size, and significance level.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects
Breast cancer :Receptor (ER/PR/HER2 NEU) Discordance.pptxDr. Sumit KUMAR
Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:

Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)MuskanShingari
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.
Understanding Atherosclerosis Causes, Symptoms, Complications, and Preventionrealmbeats0
Definition: Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaques, which are made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, in the walls of arteries. Over time, these plaques harden and narrow the arteries, restricting blood flow.
Importance: This condition is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, carotid artery disease, and peripheral artery disease. Understanding atherosclerosis is crucial for preventing these serious health issues.
Overview: We will cover the aims and objectives of this presentation, delve into the signs and symptoms of atherosclerosis, discuss its complications, and explore preventive measures and lifestyle changes that can mitigate risk.
Aim: To provide a detailed understanding of atherosclerosis, encompassing its pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and strategies for prevention and management.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this presentation is to raise awareness about atherosclerosis, highlight its impact on public health, and educate individuals on how they can reduce their risk through lifestyle changes and medical interventions.
Educational Goals:
Explain the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, including the processes of plaque formation and arterial hardening.
Identify the risk factors associated with atherosclerosis, such as high cholesterol, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and sedentary lifestyle.
Discuss the clinical signs and symptoms that may indicate the presence of atherosclerosis.
Highlight the potential complications arising from untreated atherosclerosis, including heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease.
Provide practical advice on preventive measures, including dietary recommendations, exercise guidelines, and the importance of regular medical check-ups.
5. 1) A pharmacist received numerous packs of
medicines as part of previous order. Upon
inspection of the delivery, the pharmacist saw that
one of the medicines was labeled as: “protect
from moisture”. What is the most appropriate
storage for the condition for the medicine?
A. Exactly 60% relative humidity
B. 60-80% relative humidity
C. Less than 60% relative humidity
D. 60%-75% relative humidity
6. 2) A tertiary care hospital pharmacy uses fluid
location system to stoke pharmaceuticals. A junior
pharmacist was assigned to organize the
medicines, so the pharmacist asked the store
manager for guidance on how to properly classify
the stock. What is the most recommended
method of stock classification?
A. Alphabetical order
B. Commodity code
C. Random bin
D. Dosage form
7. Zoning stock within the store
• Medicines and essential medical supplies must be located in a
part of the store with the correct combination of temperature
and security. This initial zoning process is the most basic way
in which supplies are arranged.
• A zone can be a separate building or room.
• If no specific storage instruction are given ”normal storage
conditions ” apply.
• normal storage conditions for medicines have been defined as
“storage in dry, well-ventilated premises at temperatures of
15°C- 30 °C”
• Each storage zone should have at least one thermometer, and
temperatures should be recorded daily at the hottest time of
day.
8. Different Storage Conditions
1. Storage at uncontrolled room temperature.
• 15°C-30 °C
2. Storage at controlled temperature and humidity
• By using air conditioned, Dehumidifiers to control temperature
and humidity
3. Cold Storage: Any temperature not exceeding 8°C and usually
between 2°C to 8°C.
• Refrigerator is a cold place in which the temperature is
maintained thermostatically between 2°C to 8°C E.g-
Ceftazidime Inj, Vaccines, Insulin
4. Secure Storage: For Narcotic and other controlled substance
• The door must be locked. No more than two assigned officers
should have access. Typically, one should be the director of the
store, the most senior pharmacist, or the most senior store
keeper.
9. 5. Flammables
- They should be stored in special(separated room
recommended)
- Must be well ventilated and fuels should never be stores in or
near medical store.
Some other considerations
• Store latex products away from electric motors and fluorescent
lights
• Liquid and heavy products kept at the lower shelves
• Damaged/expired products stored separately
10.
11.
12. Stock location with in zone
A. Fixed location
- Simplest to manage (each stock item is always stored in the
same place)
- Like a house which each family member has his own room.
Room is empty if a person is not at home.
- The store should be large enough and stock administration is
relatively easy.
Disadvantage
- Inflexibility
- If a new item is ordered, there may be no place to store it.
- Storage space may be wasted
- Theft may increase.
13. B. Fluid location system
- The store is divided into many designated locations. Each
location is assigned a code.
- Individual items are stored wherever space is available at the
time of delivery.
- It’s like a hotel rooms are assigned only when guests arrive.
- Uses space efficiently, but requires sophisticated stock
administration.
- The procurement unit provides information on type, volume, and
weight of goods arriving.
- The storekeeper assesses which location will be empty and assign
an appropriate location. These data are recorded in the stock
control system.
- It requires a classification system that allocates a unique
identifier code to each stock item and to each location. And,
the stock record for each batch of item must always indicate
the physical location of item in the store.
14. C. Semifluid location system
- Combination of the fixed and fluid systems.
- It is like hotel that has regular guests. Regular guests are
always given the same room. Casual guests are given any
room that is available.
- Isn’t as space-efficient as a fluid location system.
15. Stock Classification
• Items should be clearly organized within each zone of the
store.
A. Therapeutic/Pharmacological
- Keeping medicine according to there function and uses
- E.g Arrange all antibiotics together
- Used in smaller stores and dispensaries of smaller clinic.
B. Alphabetical order
- Attractive way to order drug by alphabetical order.
- Used in small stores that keep small number of items.
- Doesn’t result in optimal use of available space.
- Requires reorganization when there is a change in essential
medicines.
16. C. Dosage form
- Used in smaller warehouses.
- The drugs are arranged based on dosage form
- With in each dosage form area product may be stored in fixed,
fluid or semi fluid manner.
- The main advantages are dosage form are easy to recognize
when receiving goods and this system allows optimal use of
space.
D. Random Bin
- Is unique storage space identified by code
- Random bin can be combined with the previously described
methods.
17. E. Commodity code
- Abstract organizational system offering maximum flexibility.
- Can be used in small and large stores.
- Use unique location code (derived from WHO and UNICEF
specifications)
- The Location code is similar to random bin principle.
- Storekeeping staff donot need to have specific knowledge of
drug and its Use
- The code can be designed to incorporate any number of
characteristics.
- Correct storage To
- Whether or not the product is flammable
- The building where the product is located
- Pack size
- Pharmaceutical form
