The Novartis Saga

Novartis International AG is a Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company based in Basel, Switzerland.
# 1997: Novartis files a patent application in India for its cancer drug Glivec or Gleevec.
# 2005: India introduces the Indian Patent Act preventing frivolous patents.
# Jan 2006: The Patent Controller in Chennai denies Novartis a patent.
# May 2006: Novartis challenges the Indian government and four other companies in the Madras High Court
# Aug 2007: The Madras High Court rules against Novartis’ case
# June 2009: The Intellectual Property Appellate Board rejects a fresh appeal
# August 2009: Novartis approaches the Supreme Court of India
# April 1, 2013: Supreme Court rejects Novartis’ plea for patent.

Results of the landmark ruling of Supreme court will be:
# The judgment allows suppliers to continue making generic copies of Swiss firm Novartis’ Glivec or Gleevec, which has been shown to fight chronic blood cancer effectively.
# While the Novartis drug costs more than Rs 1 lakh per month, with doctors often advising patients to take it lifelong, the generic equivalents cost less than one-tenth.
# Observers say that the Court’s judgment sets a precedent against the practice of “evergreening” — a strategy through which drug manufacturers introduce modifications of drugs to extend the five-year patents on them.

Catching...Buffering...Streaming....!!!!

Daily term but when ask to the person always create the confusion..Starting with Catching...!!!
CATCHING...
# A cache is a temporary storage location for some data or instructions that need to be accessed quickly or repeatedly..!!
# A cache's primary attribute is that it’s written to once, and read from many times. without time lags..!!!
BUFFERING...
# Buffer is something like the Bucket filled with water once and we're pin it at bottom to take the water outlet...!!!
# Now you can say Buffers differ from caches in that once filled, data is usually only read back out once. ..!!!
# Buffering is useful because bits may arrive erratically but must leave smoothly....So the bits are brought in as quickly as possible, and the output is delivered on time...!!!
STREAMING:
# Streaming is the name given to real time broadcasting of audio visual media over the internet..!!
# Very Important...Streaming requires that the average data rate of the connection is equal to or greater than the data rate of an audio visual media file..!!!
# Just in order to ensure uninterrupted playback...If the data rate of the connection falls then there will be an interruption in playback....When it resumes some of the "broadcast" will have been missed...!!!
# Depends upon:
1.Network Bandwidth..
2.Contention..
3.Server hard disks..

Artificial blood : The “Holy grail” of blood research

Artificial blood created from stem cells could be tested on Britons within two years. Artificial blood is basic filler for the human cardiovascular system used in some medical procedures or to treat certain conditions. It is also known as blood surrogate or blood substitute, and although it does not act as a full substitute for blood, it does help to take up space and carry some important gases....!!!

There are two main categories of artificial blood :-# Oxygen therapeutics: For artificial blood that carries oxygen
# Volume expanders, for inert blood.

When severe trauma occurs, a serious danger is that blood volume will be reduced to a point where the remaining red blood cells can no longer oxygenate body tissue, which can result in tissue damage or death. Artificial blood solves this by acting as a volume expander, making up for the lost quantity of blood. Because real blood has a substantial capacity for carrying oxygen, so long as volume is retained, even a dilute ratio of real blood to artificial blood can be adequate to keep a person alive.
Heart transplant, bypass and cancer patients would also benefit from having a guaranteed supply of blood on hand for their surgery.The man-made blood would be free of infections that have blighted natural supplies and could be given to almost everyone regardless of blood group.

Facts about blood donation...!!!

=> Every year our nation requires about 4 Crore units of blood, out of which only a meager 40 Lakh units of blood are available.
=> The gift of blood is the gift of life. T
here is no substitute for human blood.
=> Every two seconds someone needs blood.
More than 38,000 blood donations are needed every day.
=> A total of 30 million blood components are transfused each year.
=> The blood type most often requested by hospitals is Type O.
=> More than 1 million new people are diagnosed with cancer each year. Many of them will need blood, sometimes daily, during their chemotherapy treatment.

EXAMPLES OF BLOOD USE

1. Automobile Accident_______________50 units of blood

2. Heart Surgery____________________6 units of blood / 6 units of platelets

3. Organ Transplant_________________40 units of blood / 30 units of platelets

4. 20 bags of cryoprecipitate__________25 units of fresh frozen plasma

5. Bone Marrow Transplant___________120 units of platelets/ 20 units of blood

6. Burn Victims_____________________20 units of platelets

Saltwater gargling

Soreness in the throat can cause throat pain. Soreness of throat is generally due to the infection of the bacterium called Streptococcus. So it is called strep throat. A strep throat is usually inflamed due to bacteria making widespread damage on our soft tissues or mucosa.

These inflammations (known as edemas) are usually filled with water. When we gargle with warm salt water that is saltier than our body fluids (hypertonic solution), through osmosis the salt draws out the edema fluid.

The principle behind it is that if a porous partition separates dilute and concentrated solutions then the dilute solution permeates through the porous partition into the concentrated solution.

Health benefits of black tea

It is said that coffee is harmful to health, unlike tea. But it's important to know why tea is beneficial to health. Black tea, for that matter, has many health benefits.

Black tea (just like green tea) is plucked from a plant called camellia sinensis. The leaves of black tea, are steeped such that it can give a dark colour when used as a beverage. Also, the leaves are mature dry and processed such that it has a dark colour. Black tea has extremely low caffeine content, which is great for circulation.
Black tea, contains flavonoids which are also found in apples. Unlike green tea, black tea, once processed eliminates all antioxidants existing in it. Black tea not only helps to fight bacteria but also strengthens the immune system. As one knows, drinking tea hydrates the body, thus a cup of black tea helps moisturise the skin. Black tea also balances the hormone levels, which fends off stress. Not only does black tea have anti-inflammatory qualities, it also keeps a check on the digestive tracts functioning. It can help reduce stroke risks as it balances the cholesterol level.
DYI: To reduce puffiness of the eye, just store black tea bags in the fridge and apply it to the eye area.

Anyone heard about the unit of Pain ????

Pain levels measured in brain using MRI !!!!

What i heard is "Del", the unit of pain measurement. It is measured by MRI scan....

British scientists say they have for the first time developed a way to use brain scans to objectively measure the levels of pain felt by patients.

Using magnetic resonance imaging, researchers have found distinct differences between the brains of people who are experiencing pain and those who are not. That means doctors may have a way to measure suffering based on something other than asking patients how they are feeling, The Sunday Times of London reported.

"Pain seems to increase the blood flow to certain parts of the brain, roughly in proportion to the amount of pain felt, and we can measure that activation in a brain scan," Irene Tracey, professor of anaesthetic science at Oxford University, told the newspaper.

She and her colleagues reportedly have found the brain employs a "pain matrix" wherein physical suffering typically activates more than a dozen parts of the brain -- a distinct contrast with other senses such as vision or hearing that only stimulate just one part of the brain.

The Sunday Times said the findings indicate pain could one day be measured objectively, a development that would have big legal and social implications.

"उठो जागो और अपने लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति से पूर्व मत रुको..."
Swami Vivekanand Response to Welcome At The World’s Parliament of Religions Chicago, 11th September 1893...

अमेरिका के भाइयों और बहनों, जो आपने हमारा ससम्मान स्वागत किया, इसके लिए मैं आपको धन्यवाद देता हूँ विश्व के सबसे प्राचीन संत की तरफ से.
मैं आपको धन्यवाद देता हूँ सभी धर्मो की माँ की तरफ से.
मैं आपको धन्यवाद देता हूँ करोड़ो विभिन्न जाती के और संप्रदाय के हिन्दुओं की तरफ से.
मैं उनको भी धन्यवाद देना चाहता हूँ यहाँ उपस्थित सभी लोगों को जाये आये हैं हमें अपने देश की संस्कृति और धर्म के बारे में हमें बताने.
मुझे गर्व है की मैं एक ऐसे धर्म से हूँ जिसने दुनिया को सिखाया-बताया धर्म और सर्वयापी सत्य के बारे में.
हम हिन्दू न न सिर्फ सर्वव्यापी सत्य में विश्वास रखते हैं बल्कि सभिधार्मो में विशवास रखते हैं.
मुझे गर्व है की में ऐसे देश की संतान हूँ जिसने विभिन्न देशो से निकले गए लोगों को न सिर्फ अपने देश शरण दी बल्कि उनको उनके धर्मो सहित गले से लगाया.
मुझे गर्व है ये बताने में की जब यहूदियों को उनके मूल देश से उन्हें निकाल दिया तब दक्षिण भारत ने उनको शरण दी न सिर्फ जमीन दी बल्कि उनके पूजा स्थल भी बनवाये और उनको भी उसी तरह सम्मान दिया जैसे की अपने देव-देवियों को. जबकि रोमन आक्रान्ताओं ने न सिर्फ
उनके पूजा स्थल -मंदिर तोड़ डाले बल्कि उनके धर्म ग्रन्थ भी जला दिए.
मैं एक बात आपको बताना चाहता हूँ जैसे की मैं और मुझसे पहले और भी बहुत से भारत के संतो ने कहा है की जैसे अलग-२ नदियाँ एक ही सागर में आके मिलती हैं ऐसे ही सारे सीधे-तिरछे रस्ते जिन पर मानव चलता है अंत में एक ही इश्वर से जा के मिलता है. मैं गीता के माध्यम से बताना चौंगा जो की इस बात का विश्वव्यापी प्रमाण है
” जो भी मेरे पास आता है वो कोई भी हो कैसा भी हो और कहीं से भी हो, अंत में मैं उस तक पहुँच ही जाता हूँ. वो चाहे कोई भी मार्ग चुने मुझसे मिलने के लिए वो मार्ग अंत में मुझसे मिल ही जाता है”
विभिन्न मान्यता वाले लोग, किसी और को न मानने वाले लोग, मानव से मानव में भेद करने वाले लोग, कट्टरता से अंधे लोग सभी एक ही प्रथ्वी के रहने वाले हैं.
वे लोग जिन्होंने प्रथ्वी को मानव रक्त से लाल किया, सभ्यताएं नष्ट कर दी, पुरे के पुरे देश मिटा दिए गए, इस तरह के राक्षस दुबारा से नहीं हों इसके लिए मानव समाज को आज से बहुत आगे आना चाहिए और यही वो समय है जब हम सभी एक लक्ष्य के लिए बजे अलग-२ विचारों को दुसरो पर थोपने (तलवार या कलम से ) की बजाये,मानव से मानव के बीच के अविश्वास को धीरे-२ ख़त्म कर देना चाहिए.

The holy grail of heart medicine...Article...!!!

“The holy grail of heart medicine”
A simple blood test can predict the heart attack:

Scientists claim they are very close to developing a simple and inexpensive blood test which could detect a heart attack two to three weeks
before it happens, a breakthrough which they say could prove “the holy grail of heart medicine”.
US researchers have found oddly-shaped blood cells in heart attack patients, indicating that a blood test could help predict whether a patient is at risk of an imminent cardiac emergency.
The study by the Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI) found that the endothelial blood cells from heart attack patients are abnormally large and misshapen, sometimes appearing with multiple nuclei. That could make them reliable indicators of an impending heart attack, according to the study published this week in Science Translational Medicine.

Most heart attacks begin with the gradual cracking of an artery that has been damaged by smoking, high blood pressure or other factors. After several weeks, a blood clot seals the damage, blocking the blood supply in the process and causing a heart attack. Current tests of heart health are unable to pick up this cracking.

In the new test, the researchers focused on endothelial cells that are released when arteries crack in the lead-up to a heart attack.

They compared blood samples from heart attack patients and healthy people. This revealed differences in cells that lined the inside of the arteries before breaking off into the bloodstream.

In heart-attack patients, these circulating endothelial cells were found to be much more numerous and abnormally large and mis-shapen.
