A Study of the Antimicrobial Drug Usage Pattern among In-Patients and Out-Patients at the Paediatrics Department at Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital
type: item
description: Background: Antimicrobials are among the most frequently prescribed drugs in paediatric practice; however, their irrational and excessive use contributes to adverse drug reactions (ADRs), antimicrobial resistance, and increased healthcare costs. Drug utilisation studies (DUS) help evaluate prescribing patterns and support antimicrobial stewardship programmes. This study aimed to assess antimicrobial prescribing patterns and monitor ADRs among paediatric inpatients and outpatients using WHO core prescribing indicators. Methods: A 12-month cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Departments of Paediatrics and Pharmacology at ACSR Medical College and Government Hospital. A total of 1200 paediatric patients aged 1–18 years were included through simple random sampling (OPD: 900; IPD: 300). Prescriptions were analysed using WHO prescribing indicators. ADRs were assessed using the WHO-UMC causality assessment scale and Hartwig’s severity assessment scale. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 19. Results: Among the 1200 patients, 59% were males. Respiratory disorders (19.6%) and gastrointestinal disorders (15.3%) were the most common indications for antimicrobial use. Antimicrobials were prescribed in 63.9% of cases. Cephalosporins (33.3%), penicillins (16.7%), and aminoglycosides (13.3%) were the most commonly prescribed antimicrobial classes. The average number of drugs prescribed per encounter was 3.56. Injectable drugs were used in 53.7% of cases, while 78.5% of prescriptions were written using generic names. All antimicrobials were prescribed from the National Essential Drug List. ADRs occurred in 11.3% of patients, predominantly due to cephalosporins (67.6%), and ranged from mild to severe. Conclusion: The study highlights overuse of injections and broad-spectrum antibiotics, with incomplete adherence to WHO prescribing indicators. Rational prescribing practices and strengthened antimicrobial stewardship are essential to reduce resist…

Nutraceutical Intervention in Cardiometabolic Disorders
type: item
description: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with lifestyle and dietary factors playing a critical role in disease progression. The five analyzed review articles collectively evaluate the cardioprotective potential of traditional and functional nutraceuticals, emphasizing their role in prevention and adjunctive therapy. Nutraceuticals such as garlic, lycopene-rich tomatoes, spirulina, curcumin, polyphenols, and omega-rich plant sources demonstrate beneficial effects on major cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction. Mechanistically, these bioactive compounds exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet, lipid-lowering, and vasodilatory actions, thereby improving vascular function and myocardial health. Several human and animal studies report significant reductions in blood pressure, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein levels, and inflammatory cytokines following nutraceutical supplementation. Despite promising findings, the articles highlight limitations such as variability in bioavailability, inconsistent clinical outcomes, and a lack of large-scale randomized controlled trials assessing hard endpoints like mortality. Overall, the evidence supports nutraceuticals as safe, cost-effective, and complementary strategies for cardiovascular risk reduction. However, standardized formulations and robust clinical trials are necessary to validate their therapeutic efficacy and integrate them effectively into clinical practice.

IMMUNETHERAPY AND SOLICITATION OF ENGINEERED ß-CELLS FOR DIABETES
type: item
description: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition defined by impaired regulation of blood glucose levels. In type 1 diabetes, immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β-cells leads to an absolute deficiency of insulin. Current therapeutic approaches depend largely on lifelong insulin replacement, which helps control glycemia but fails to address the autoimmune origin of the disease or fully prevent long-term complications. Recent research has shifted toward combining immunotherapeutic strategies with engineered β-cell technologies. β-cells derived from embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells demonstrate functional characteristics comparable to native pancreatic cells, including glucose-responsive insulin secretion. Immunomodulatory interventions and encapsulation techniques enhance the survival of these cells by protecting them from immune attack while allowing efficient nutrient and insulin exchange. This integrated approach improves metabolic stability and represents a transition from symptomatic management to disease-modifying therapy. Additionally, immune-engineered β-cell systems offer valuable platforms for disease modeling and drug development. Although challenges related to safety, immune compatibility, and large-scale clinical application persist, this strategy holds significant promise for achieving a functional cure for diabetes mellitus.

Optimizing therapy: benefits of combining omeprazole with calcium carbonate
type: item
description: Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that suppresses gastric acid secretion by irreversibly inhibiting the parietal cell H+/K+ ATPase pump its effects begin with in 1 hour, peak at 3 hours, and last approximately 72 hours. Omeprazole is administered via delayed release formulations (capsules, tablets) to protect it from stomach acid, achieving 30-40% bioavailability. It undergoes hepatic metabolism primarily via CYP2C19 & CYP3A4, with a plasma half-life of 0.5-1 hour. Dosing includes 80mg daily for GERD (up to 8 weeks) and 20mg twice daily in H-pylori eradication triple therapy. Calcium carbonate acts as an antacid by neutralizing gastric acid (HCL) via dissociation into calcium ions & carbonate anions, which buffer H+ ions. It also serves as a calcium supplement & phosphate binder. Absorption occurs in the small intestine & is enhanced by food and stomach acidity. Most body calcium is stored in bones or teeth, with excretion via Feces (unabsorbed) and urine formulations include tablets, chewable and suspensions. Dosing ranges from 500-1000mg for heartburn (max 7g/day) & 1-2 g/day for Ca2+ supplementation. Omeprazolesuppresses gastric acid secretion, which is essential for solubilizing insoluble calcium salts like calcium carbonate. This acid suppression significantly reduces the bioavailability of calcium from based supplements, while the combination is not contra indicated. When you take omeprazole for a long time & also take calcium carbonate needsstomach acid to break down and get into your body. So, taking them together means your body might not absorb the calcium well. This is especially important for people taking omeprazole long-term who need calcium for bone health. Omeprazole provides long-acting suppression of stomach acid production by inhibiting the proton pumps in the stomach lining. It’s used for conditions like GERD, peptic ulcers & erosive esophagitis. Calcium carbonate offers rapid, short-term neutralization of existing stomach acid. It’s commonly…

Genes, can it affect body response to medicines? An understanding of the concept of pharmacogenetics
type: item
description: Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics are rapidly advancing disciplines that explore how genetic variations influence individual responses to medications. Differences in DNA sequences can alter drug metabolism, absorption, distribution, and excretion, resulting in variable therapeutic outcomes and adverse drug reactions. The identification of these genetic differences offers the potential for personalized or targeted medicine, enabling healthcare professionals to select optimal drug types and dosages for each patient. Genetic polymorphisms, particularly single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), are major determinants of interindividual variability in drug response. Understanding these variations can improve treatment efficacy and reduce toxicity, especially in drugs with a narrow therapeutic index, such as anticancer agents. Although the application of pharmacogenetic testing faces challenges including high cost, limited accessibility, and the need for global acceptance, its integration into medical practice represents a promising step toward individualized therapy. Advances in genomic sequencing and bioinformatics are expected to expand pharmacogenetic databases and strengthen clinical applications. Ultimately, the field aims to enhance patient safety, treatment outcomes, and quality of life through a deeper understanding of genetic diversity and its impact on pharmacological responses.

Review on nitrofuran derivative; nitrofurantoin induced neutropenia and agranulocytosis; it’s treatment goals
type: item
description: Neutropenia is a clinical condition characterized by a reduced number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell essential for defending the body against infections. It can occur due to chemotherapy, certain medications, autoimmune diseases, or bone marrow disorders. Nitrofurantoin, a nitrofuran derivative widely used for the treatment and prevention of uncomplicated urinary tract infections, has been rarely associated with severe hematological reactions such as neutropenia and agranulocytosis. These reactions result in increased susceptibility to infections and may become life-threatening if not promptly managed. Treatment of neutropenia primarily depends on its cause and severity. Pharmacological management includes colony-stimulating factors such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) drugs-filgrastim and pegfilgrastim-which stimulate bone marrow to produce neutrophils. In autoimmune cases, corticosteroids like prednisone are used to suppress immune-mediated destruction of neutrophils, while immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine or methotrexate are prescribed for chronic or severe cases. Febrile neutropenia requires immediate broad-spectrum antibiotics, with antifungal or antiviral agents added as necessary. Non-pharmacological measures involve discontinuing the causative drug, maintaining strict hygiene, ensuring a balanced diet, and regular blood count monitoring to assess recovery. Early detection, effective management, and awareness of drug-induced neutropenia can significantly reduce complications and improve patient outcomes. Advances in therapeutic strategies and infection control have enhanced the survival and quality of life of patients affected by this rare adverse effect

Development and evaluation of a crispr-cas13a-based platform for rapid and ultraprecise detection of rna viruses in clinical respiratory samples
type: item
description: Background: Respiratory RNA virus outbreaks have highlighted the urgent need for rapid, accurate, and affordable diagnostic tools. Traditional molecular diagnostics, while effective, often require complex infrastructure and have long turnaround times, limiting their use in resource-limited and point-of-care settings. Objective: This study aimed to design and evaluate a CRISPR-Cas13a-based detection system for rapid identification of respiratory RNA viruses in clinical samples, focusing on sensitivity, specificity, and clinical utility. Methodology: We developed a CRISPR-Cas13a diagnostic platform integrating reverse transcription isothermal amplification and Cas13a trans-cleavage activity. The assay targeted conserved genomic regions of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A/B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human metapneumovirus (hMPV). Clinical validation was performed on 847 nasopharyngeal swab specimens from symptomatic patients, using RT-qPCR as the reference standard. Results: The assay demonstrated high analytical sensitivity with detection limits of 10–20 copies/L for all target viruses. Clinical sensitivity was 96.7% (95% CI: 94.2–98.4) and specificity 99.1% (95% CI: 97.8–99.7). It showed 100% concordance with RT-qPCR in high viral load samples (Ct <25) and 92.3% in low viral load samples (Ct 30–35). Results were available within 45 minutes post-sampling. Conclusion: This CRISPR-Cas13a platform offers rapid, accurate, and infrastructure-light detection of respiratory RNA viruses. Its performance and practicality support its use in point-of-care testing, outbreak response, and routine diagnostics, underscoring the clinical promise of CRISPR-based technologies.

Practical implementation of oncolytic virus therapy in the hospital: safety protocols and operational guidelines
type: item
description: The integration of oncolytic virus (OV) therapies into clinical practice introduces unique challenges for hospitals and healthcare teams. Unlike conventional cancer drugs, OVs are live replicating viruses, requiring special handling, storage, and safety precautions. This article reviews key operational considerations for safely implementing oncolytic virotherapy in a hospital setting. Topics include biosafety protocols (classification of OVs as BioSafety Level 2 agents, personal protective equipment, and staff training), cold-chain logistics (ultra-low temperature storage and thawing procedures), preparation and administration guidelines (compounding live virus doses in pharmacy cleanrooms and intratumoral injection techniques), and containment measures to prevent unintended exposure or viral shedding to healthcare workers and patients’ contacts. We discuss the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the importance of interdisciplinary coordination among pharmacy, nursing, infection control, and clinical teams. Practical steps – from handling biohazardous waste to patient counseling on post-treatment precautions – are outlined. By establishing robust protocols and training programs, hospitals can safely deliver these novel therapies. This review provides a framework for institutions to navigate the logistical and safety aspects of oncolytic virotherapy, ensuring maximal benefit to patients while protecting staff and the public.

A review on addressing antimicrobial resistance: rational use and prescribing practices in focus
type: item
description: The irrational and widespread use of antimicrobial drugs, particularly antibiotics, is a significant contributor to the global health crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), especially in developing nations like India. Antibiotics, though essential in treating bacterial infections, are frequently overprescribed, often for viral illnesses such as colds or flu, leading to ineffective treatment, higher healthcare costs, and increased resistance. Understanding prescribing patterns is crucial for promoting rational use, optimizing patient outcomes, and preventing resistance development. In India, inappropriate antibiotic use is notably high across various sectors, including primary care and dentistry. Vulnerable populations—such as critically ill, pediatric, and geriatric patients—require individualized dosing due to altered pharmacokinetics and increased risks of adverse effects. Non-adherence by patients, driven by inadequate communication and lack of understanding, further exacerbates the issue. National treatment guidelines have been introduced to guide appropriate antibiotic use, yet implementation remains limited. Evaluating prescription practices through drug utilization studies and applying pharmacoeconomic tools like cost-minimization analysis can support rational drug choices and resource allocation. Enhanced diagnostic techniques and improved provider-patient communication are vital strategies to curb resistance. Without immediate and sustained interventions, AMR threatens to compromise modern medicine’s ability to treat infections effectively, making it imperative to strengthen antimicrobial prescribing practices globally.

Periodontitis and Osteoporosis-A Bidirectional Relationship in Bone Resorption: An Overview
type: item
description: Periodontitis and osteoporosis are two distinct but interconnected conditions characterized by bone resorption and structural deterioration. Periodontitis is a localized chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth, while osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder marked by reduced bone mass and fragility. Recent clinical and epidemiological evidence suggests a strong bidirectional relationship between these conditions, particularly in populations with shared risk factors such as postmenopausal women and the elderly. Both conditions share common pathophysiological pathways, notably the RANK/RANKL/OPG signaling axis and inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α. These mediators contribute to increased osteoclast activity, impaired osteoblast function, and accelerated bone turnover. Additionally, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, smoking, alcohol use, and systemic diseases such as diabetes further exacerbate the progression of both diseases. Diagnostic modalities such as bone mineral density testing, periodontal indices, and emerging salivary and serum biomarkers facilitate early detection and monitoring. Therapeutic strategies include anti-resorptive medications, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, scaling and root planning, and antimicrobial treatments. An interdisciplinary management approach is essential for optimal patient outcomes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular, clinical, and diagnostic evidence linking periodontitis and osteoporosis. It emphasizes the importance of integrated healthcare delivery, future research into shared biomarkers, and the potential for personalized medicine in managing at-risk populations. Understanding this complex interplay will not only improve disease outcomes but also contribute to preventive public health strategies targeting bone and oral health.

Combined effect of Justicia adhatoda and Crocus sativus on Zebrafish Model for Cognitive enhancement
type: item
description: Brain-related problems can include brain injuries, brain tumors, and brain diseases. They can also include mental health disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder, Post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study explores the combined cognitive-enhancing potential of Justicia adhatoda and Crocus sativus using a zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. Both plants are known for their neuroprotective and mood-stabilizing properties. Methanolic extracts were prepared and tested through behavioral assays, including the Open Field Test (OFT) and Novel Object Recognition Test (NORT), which assess anxiety, locomotor activity, and memory function. Results indicated that the combination group exhibited significantly higher central zone activity and recognition index compared to the control and individual treatment groups. Justicia adhatoda enhanced cognitive performance through cholinergic modulation and antioxidant effects, while Crocus sativus acted via serotonergic pathways and BDNF upregulation. Their synergistic interaction led to improved memory, reduced anxiety-like behavior, and better cognitive processing. This study highlights the therapeutic potential of combining these plant extracts for CNS enhancement and supports their use as a natural, multi-targeted alternative for managing cognitive disorders. Further research is recommended to validate these findings in clinical settings.

Formulation and Evaluation of Furosemide Buccal Tablets using Carbopol and Chitosan Polymers
type: item
description: Buccal formulations have been developed to allow prolonged localised therapy and enhanced systemic delivery. Buccal delivery systems refer to the administration of the drugs via the buccal mucosa. Furosemide is a potent loop diuretic drug, widely used in patients with oedema of various origins. The bioavailability of furosemide after oral administration is about 60% and dose quite variable (20–60mg) owing to the presence of an absorption window in the upper intestinal tract. The objective of the present study was to formulate buccal tablets of Furosemide using hydrophilic polymers chitosan and carbopol to elucidate the release kinetics of furosemide from the polymer. In the present study an attempt was made to develop the buccal tablets of furosemide. Furosemide buccal tablets were prepared by direct-compression method incorporating hydrophilic polymers such as Carbopol 934P, Chitosan, and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC K4M) in various combinations and concentrations and coded as F1-F9. A total of nine formulations (F1–F9) were developed and subjected to thorough preformulation studies and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which confirmed the compatibility of drug and excipients. The prepared tablets were evaluated for physical characteristics (weight variation, thickness, hardness, friability, and drug content), pH, swelling index and in vitro drug release. Among the formulations, F3, F8, and F9 exhibited optimal swelling properties due to higher concentrations of Carbopol. Drug release studies revealed that Carbopol significantly sustained drug release, whereas Chitosan-based formulations released the drug more rapidly. Drug release kinetics varied, with Weibull, Higuchi, and zero-order models providing the best fits depending on polymer composition and dissolution apparatus. The study concludes that combining Carbopol and Chitosan in appropriate ratios can produce effective buccal tablets with controlled drug release, enhanced mucoadhesion, and…

Post approval changes in generic drug products and marketed drug products according to usfda: a review
type: item
description: The post approval changes are the changes made to generic and marketed drug products that have received an approval and to provide the data to support a change which would be considered suitable and sufficient to allow a determination of the impact of the change on the quality of the approved products as it relates to safety, efficacy and effective use of the products. After the approval of NDA or ANDA, the applicant may make post approval changes, provided the changes are reported to the FDA under the appropriate categories. Section 506 A of the Federal Food, Drugs and Cosmetics act and 21 CFR 314.70 provide for three reporting categories of the post approval changes namely: major change, moderate change and minor change. There are many reasons for making changes to pharmaceutical products after the original regulatory approval is obtained. Company change control procedures should detail how changes are evaluated and implemented as well as how the change impacts stability and what data will be needed to support the change. The regulatory group will determine the strategy for submission based on a review of the technical assessment of the change and the appropriate regulatory guidance.
