Pages 251 - 260

View PDF
Abstract
It is a very serious global health issue as it reduces the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs and also makes the treatment of infectious diseases quite challenging. Thus, this review highlights complex factors of antibiotic resistance that include the misuse and overuse of antibiotics both in health and agriculture sectors while reporting genetic mechanisms through which resistance develops. Several major antibiotic-resistant pathogens already identified include multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. These are the greatest public health threats, thus it is a great move to discuss some of these current approaches that will in turn help combat this crisis of antibiotic resistance including stewardship programs, developing new antimicrobials, as well as prevention through vaccinations. We further discuss the role of international health organizations, especially the World Health Organization, in coordinating efforts across the globe to contain the increasing menace of antimicrobial resistance through surveillance, research, and cooperative actions. Finally, we introduce new approaches which may change the face of the future of antibiotic resistance management: phage therapy, CRISPR technology, and use of antimicrobial peptides. This is a big step forward toward the goal but leaves many serious challenges open for the door: economic and regulatory ones related to developing new antibiotics, access imbalances concerning medications, and public knowledge and awareness lacunas. Ultimately, comprehensive, multi-institutional collaboration is what will get this job done: ensure antibiotics continue working well and continue protecting public health.

Abstract
Pharmacovigilance, or PV, has grown and spread its impact in research and development widely over the last several years and has drawn specific attention from the medical fraternity. This paper elaborates on the background, major process, and importance of pharmacovigilance for the safety of drugs. In examining the different key activities of a PV system, this paper portrays how PV plays an essential role in industries of the pharmaceutical sector. Drug safety concerns spurred radical development in pharmacovigilance. In the 1950s, the US Food and Drug Administration, along with the medical institutions, began monitoring adverse drug reactions responsible mainly for some serious blood disorders, which were caused by chloramphenicol. This led to the 1962 Kefauver-Harris Amendments requiring assessment and reporting of adverse drug events. After that, the pharmaceutical companies developed core pharmacovigilance functions, namely case management, signal detection, and benefit-risk management. In clinical trials, informed consent and ethics committee review ensure that patients’ safety is guaranteed. Lastly, safe starting dose for humans is determined from animal studies, and safety profile of new drugs is communicated to relevant parties. Monitoring the product’s safety and ensuring appropriate medical use through managing risks is a part of post-marketing surveillance. Maintaining readiness for regulatory inspections is another corporate priority. Advances in technologies such as biomedical informatics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning will influence the future of pharmacovigilance. To keep up with these shifting tides of drug safety, the next generation of pharmaceutical professionals will require developing new skill sets.

But exciting opportunities are promised by rapid advancements in imaging technologies, genetic research, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology. Emerging research into the gut-brain axis, the impact of dopamine on the immune system, and its impact on neuroplasticity and aging is melting away the bounds of what we assumed we knew about this neurotransmitter.
Thus, the following studies on dopamine are enormous in prospects, and interdisciplinarity now opens new windows of insight and therapeutical possibilities. Overcoming existing challenges may unleash further treatments for dopamine-related disorders, enabling enhancements of quality of life among patients.

Abstract
Liver cirrhosis is very common and can occur due to various causes like weight gain, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, high intake of alcohol, hepatitis, immunological disease etc. Liver is a very important organ in our body, it is responsible for various function like, detoxification, bile production and metabolic regulations due to which sometimes it gets affected and that continuous damage leads to liver cirrhosis. The pathophysiology of cirrhosis include occurring of cirrhosis after a long time of inflammation which leads to development of dense connective tissue and hepatic regenerative nodules resulting in cirrhosis, as condition worsens fatigue, jaundice and abdominal swellings become evident as the stage of liver cirrhosis advances. Diagnosis of liver cirrhosis includes various test like physical test, laboratory tests, imaging studies and liver biopsy, in case the patient is in advance stage, it also include study of combination of medical history of the patient. It often leads to high mortality rate. Therapy is mainly focused on the root cause an symptoms. Management of Liver cirrhosis can be done by changing ones lifestyle, taking medication to reduce symptoms ,and in worse conditions a liver transplantation can be done. Prevention can be done by, low alcohol intake, proper vaccination hepatitis, preventing overweighting, and taking proper care of our body. In most of the cases liver cirrhosis is early detected leading to increase survival and better life. This review aims to explorer about liver cirrhosis and understanding its causes symptoms and also reviewing its prevalence and global impact by studying about its risk factor pathophysiology and how it is diagnosed and also about its management.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema) is an acute and life threatening condition seen in patients with pneumonitis (inflammation of lung tissue) causing respiratory failure. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is defined by its acute onset, persistent hypoxemia, and pulmonary infiltrates from a direct or indirect lung injury. This review outlines the pathophysiological basis of the syndrome, including the inflammation, the damage to the alveolar-capillary membrane, the role of cytokines and the progression through the exudative, proliferative, and fibrotic phases. The review also addresses risk factors including pneumonia, sepsis, trauma, and hereditary susceptibility. The review goes in more detail about the diagnostic criteria with emphasis on the Berlin definition and diagnostic modalities including imaging and blood gas analysis. It reviews current management, focusing on positive pressure ventilation, invasive ventilation, exhaust ventilation system, the use of medication and ECMO. We discuss the possible sequalae of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), such as chronic lung disease, multi-organ failure and psychiatric sequalae. Finally, the prognosis is outlined and future perspectives are discussed, including precision medicine, stem cell therapies, and electronic communication or robotization in ARDS management. These lines attempt to provide broad information on ARDS as well as perspectives for future therapeutic approaches.
