122 SCIENTIFIC AND SHORT STORIES A father and a son were walking on the mountain. Suddenly son falls, hurts himself and screams aaaahhh! To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating some where in the mountain. He yells “who are you?” He receives the answer “who are you?” and then he screams back to the mountain “I admire you”. The voice answers “I admire you”. Angered at the response, he screams “coward”. Again, he receives the same. He looks at his father and asks “what’s going on?” The father smiles and explains, people call this echo, but in reality, this is life. It gives back everything that you say and so our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. If you want more love in world, create more love in your heart. This is applicable for all aspects of our lives. Life gives back what you have given to it. MORAL: your life isn’t a coincidence, it’s a reflection of yourself. Darshan R, II Pharm D Early men lived almost like other animals. Bot man has intelligence, so he made use of it to learn from experience. This helped him not only to survive but also to control or rule. This is true even in the present day. Knowledge of the enemy’s movement and intention helps to win wars. Knowledge of resources helps in development. Knowledge of language places person at a prominent place. Youngsters should always remember this. Life must be an endless search for knowledge. Material gains have a limit. Knowledge must be created in children. Once they know how knowledge is of help, they will not give up on the search. Their thirst will not be quenched. At first, knowledge has to be imparted, but soon learners must be encouraged to gather it themselves. Seeing wealthy people yielding power and influence, one may thing money is power, it is not. It is knowledge that is power. Priyanka Raj K R Echo of Life Knowledge is Power
123 Language and spirituality; the inseparable friends for all eternity. All the major divinely inspired religions share a prominent common quality- they are language centric. Theists across cultures believe that the divine rains nourish the barren soils of our hearts. These sacred words resonate within the self on individual level and progress on to determine the shared cultural consciousness or the least for cynics to generate its motif in the cohesive weaving of our social fabric and infiltrate our sense of morality and values. Heidegger, an exquisite existential philosopher pointed it beautifully that “Language is the house of being.” Moreover, the modern revelations in cognitive linguistics clearly indicate that language affects our perception of reality. Could it perchance relate to the Kant’s theory of pure reason from a linguistic approach? Recent studies clearly show certain aboriginal cultures are efficient in identifying different shades of a colour and find it hard to demarcate between two different colours if the words are arranged likewise in their language. These experiments have been reproduced many times and serve as a source of awe and wonder. To Ludwig Wittgenstein, the most celebrated analytical philosopher of 21st century, “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world”. It is no surprise that Plato feared sophistry and the fact western sciences gave a central importance to language arts. Liberal arts coming from the words “Liberos” means to free individual and enter society via rhetoric. Noam Chomsky, a celebrated American Linguist rejected the “Blank Slate” model by the likes of Locke and Voltaire and suggested the Hypothetical Acquisition Device- that there is something special about humans as species and it is language that makes us so. The so-called Galilean challenge that bothered both Descartes and Galileo at their respective times was the fact that language could not be mechanical. How come unheard statements are uttered out by children- the permutations and combinations of semantics and deep-seated semiotics somehow add to the complexity of puzzle and make it more ambiguous. Every major civilisation; for instance, the Arabs being landlocked and having little to no nature to explore developed a highly sophisticated language- the source of their pride, beauty and creativity crafted through poetry. The Chinese likewise, developed their language and culture considering the inflections and nuances. Coming to prosody, Punjabi would be a classic example whose song audience is universal. The philosophical realities embedded in the very lexicon of Sanskrit language fascinates the learner. Therefore, a lot can be said about every language. But the juicy part of the day is that we humans are meaning centric being- A species which cannot just rely on experiments and empiricism – that which needs mythos and storieswhich needs religion and spirituality. Because deep down it adheres to our natural self. We may be biochemical entities but we nevertheless have an immaterial reality, which seeks meaning, aspirations, beliefs, and consequences. And obviously people do lie on spectrum. Words – the vehicles of meaning sometimes have a robust effect and shake the wobbly grounds inside all of us – maybe while reading a book, listening to a sermon, or conversing with your friends. Language undeniably connects us to a higher power, a higher purpose, and a higher I. Imad Ul Haq, B.Pharm I Sem Language and Spirituality
124 Doctor of Pharmacy or Pharm D is a pre-PhD, post graduate professional degree with a complete one year internship training in speciality units. During the sixth year, they are supposed to provide the clinical pharmacy services in general medicine for six months and in any other speciality clinics for rest of the year. The course has been introduced in India and made the Pharm D regulations by PCI under section 10 of the pharmacy act 1948 in 2008. Till today, Pharm D is under recognised even though it is the only pharmacy programme having direct contact with the patients and providing patientoriented services, so this is a huge job among Indian Pharm D graduates. Clinical Pharmacy and Clinical Pharmacist: Clinical pharmacy practice is the practice of pharmacy in a multidisciplinary health care team which is oriented to achieve the treatment goals by ensuring the right patient receives right medication in the right dose, prevent the drug-related problems through medication chart review and achieving therapeutic goals by improving medication adherence through patient counselling. Pharmaceutical services provided by the pharmacist includes medication history interview, ward round participation, prescription order review/ medication chart review, drug information service, medication error monitoring, assessing, preventing and managing the drug interactions, ADR assessment and management, clinical review, selection of drug therapy, therapeutical drug monitoring, promoting the safe and quality use of medicine and the services in liaison with community pharmacies such as health screening camps, awareness programmes. Clinical Pharmacist is less appreciated in direct patient care compared to both physicians and nurses even though most of the professionals identified that Clinical Pharmacist in an inexorable part of the medical team in proving the quality of patient care through their practice. They accept Pharm D is both private and government sector to provide better patient care and to improve medication adherence. Researchers were approached by the professionals with a questionnaire. The survey completion was voluntary. Participants were able to decline their participation and did not receive any compensation for completing the survey. The study population was also asked to inscribe the information such as their name/initials, profession, qualification and the designation. Our research suggests that Pharm D and Clinical Pharmacists can be an asset to the health care practice especially in India by practicing as hospital clinical pharmacists in better patient care. They can provide the appropriate interventions to avoid the drug related problems and other irrational drug use. Most of the hospital Clinical Pharmacists were recommending the need of Clinical Pharmacists as their health care. Still there is more emergent need for more practical emphasised syllabus and curriculum to make the Pharm D graduates more employable. Summary: Pharm D has to be well recognised in India and needs to be considered as part of the health care team. It is very clear that all the Hospital Clinical Pharmacists identified and agreed that, Pharm D can play a vital role in all aspects of medication related activities which can turn into a better patient outcome. However, the current strategy of Pharm D curriculum and teaching methodology needs to follow the international standards in upcoming days.

125 haemorrhage, and plasma leakage are the key diagnostic features of the more severe forms of infection. Antigenpresenting dendritic cells, the humoral immune response, and the cell mediated immune response are involved in the pathogenesis. Proliferation of memory T cells and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines lead to vascular endothelial cell dysfunction, which results in plasma leakage. The concentration of cytokines such as interferon-γ, tumour necrosis factor-α, and interleukin 10 is higher, and the levels of nitric oxide and some complement factors are reduced. NS1 is a modulator of the complement pathway and plays a role in low levels of complement factors. After infec tion, specific cross reactive antibodies, as well as CD4 and CD8 T cells, remain in the body for years. Infants can develop severe dengue fever during a primary infection (which is usually benign) owing to transplacental transfer of SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES Dengue fever is a globally important arboviral infection transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus (primarily Aedes aegypti, but also A albopictus), an insect found in tropical and subtropical regions. Dengue infection causes a range of severe and non-severe clinical manifestations. The incubation period is 3-14 days (average 7 days). Dengue fever is caused by four antigenically distinct dengue virus serotypes: DENV-1, DENV2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. All four have the capacity to cause severe disease. They are RNA viruses that belong to the Flavivirus genus/Flaviviridae family, which also includes the yellow fever virus, West Nile virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and the St Louis encephalitis virus. Clinical features include fever, headache, myalgia/ arthralgia, and skin flushing/ rash, together with leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and increased liver function. Severe thrombocytopenia, antibodies from an immune mother. This subsequently amplifies the infant’s immune response to the primary infection. Phases of infection: Dengue infection has three distinct phases. The febrile phase is characterised by a sudden high grade fever and dehydration that can last two to seven days. The critical phase is characterised by plasma leakage, bleeding, shock, and organ impairment and lasts for about 24 to 48 hours. It usually starts around the time of defervescence (this does not always occur), typically days 3 to 7 of the infection. Patients with dengue haemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome go through all three stages. The critical phase is bypassed in patients with dengue fever. Physical examination Diffuse skin flushing of the face, neck, and chest develop early with infection. This evolves into a maculopapular or rubelliform rash of the whole body, usually on day 3 or 4 of the fever. Blanching may occur when the skin is pressed. The rash fades with time, and during the convalescent phase appears as pallid areas. More major haemorrhage can manifest as epistaxis, gingival bleeding, haematemesis,
126 melaena, vaginal bleeding (in women of childbearing age), or bleeding from a venepuncture. Circulatory collapse (that is, cold clammy skin, rapid and weak pulse with narrowing of pulse pressure 20 mm Hg, capillary refill time greater than three seconds, reduced urine output) indicates the presence of shock and supports a diagnosis of dengue shock syndrome. Management The severity of infection should be assessed. If patients are not in the early critical phase (that is, with plasma leakage) they should be encouraged to take fluids orally (for example, approximately 2500 mL/24 hours for adults, or ageappropriate maintenance fluid requirement for children). If this is not possible, or patients enter the critical phase (indicated by rising haematocrit, hypoalbuminaemia, progressive leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, third space fluid loss, and narrowing of pulse pressure with postural drop), intravenous fluid replacement therapy with 0.9% saline (or Ringer’s lactate) should be started using the maintenance (M)+5% fluid deficit formula.1 17 Patients should be monitored closely throughout, including vital signs, peripheral perfusion, fluid balance, haematocrit, platelet count, urine output, temperature, blood glucose, liver function tests, renal profile, and coagulation profile. Pregnancy is a risk factor for higher maternal mortality and poor antenatal outcomes. The incidence of caesarean sections, pre-eclampsia, preterm deliveries, reduced birth weight, and vertical transmission of the infection is higher. Close observation and meticulous management is therefore important in this patient group. Fluid intake is the same as for non-pregnant women; pregnancy body weight should be used in the formula. As pregnancy is associated with various physiological changes such as high pulse rate, low blood pressure, wider pulse pressure, decreased haemoglobin and haematocrit values, and decreased platelet count, baseline variables should be noted on the first day of infection and subsequent results interpreted with caution. It should be remembered that other pregnancy related conditions, such as pre-eclampsia and HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet levels) syndrome, may also alter laboratory variables. Detection of plasma leakage (for example, ascites, pleural effusion) is difficult in pregnant women, and so early ultrasonography is recommended. As the tendency for children to develop dengue haemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome is increased, laboratory variables such as haematocrit, platelet count, and urine output should be monitored regularly. Assessment of the severity of symptoms in infants aged less than 1 year is difficult compared with that in older children and adults. Infants have less respiratory reserve and are more susceptible to electrolyte imbalances and hepatic impairment. The plasma leakage that occurs in children may be shorter and respond faster to fluid resuscitation. Adjunctive therapies include Prophylactic platelet transfusions are rarely required (even with very low platelet counts) and are not recommended except in the presence of active bleeding. The clinical value of fresh frozen plasma, corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and antibiotics is controversial and more evidence is required before they can be recommended.

127 Your genes play an important role in your health but so do your behaviours and environment, such as what you eat and how physically active you are. Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviour and environment can cause changes that effect the way your genes work. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body rads a DNA sequence. The epigenome integrates the information encoded in the genome with all the molecular and chemical cues of cellular, extracellular and environmental origin. Along with the genome, Epigenetics: The Science of Change the epigenome instructs the unique gene expression program of each cell type to define its functional identity during development or disease. The epigenome also, in some sense, represents the ability of an organism to adapt and evolve through expression of a set of characteristics or phenotypes developed in response to environment stimuli. Epigenetic process are natural and essential to many organisms function, but if they occur improperly, there can be major adverse health and behavioural effects. Many types of epigenetics processes have been identified- they include, methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, SUMOylation, perhaps the best-known epigenetic process, in part because it has been easiest to study with existing technology, is DNA methylation. This is the addition or removal of a methyl group (CH3), predominantly where cytosine bases occur consecutively. DNA methylation was first confirmed to occur in human cancer in 1983, and has since been observed in many other illness and health condition. Another significant epigenetic process is chromatin modification. Most epigenetic modification, by whatever mechanism, is believed to be eased with each new generation, during gametogenesis and after fertilization. However, one of the most startling reports published in 2005 challenges this belief and suggests that epigenetics change may endure in at least 4 subsequent generations of organisms. Your epigenetics changes throughout your life. Your epigenetics at birth is not the same as your epigenetics during your childhood or adulthood. Not all epigenetics change is permanent. Some changes can be added or removed in response to changes in behaviour or environment. Hephzibah Dsouza, 1st Pharm
128 Children in India are being increasingly affected by the illness known as tomato flu, which has flu-like symptoms and rashes. The name is derived from the tomato-like blisters. The tomato flu virus is producing an outbreak in India after the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 and its variations and monkey pox. In Southern India, specifically in the states of Tamil Nādu and Kerala, 100 children have been impacted so far. On May 6, 2022, the Kollam district of Kerala reported the first case of tomato flu. As of July 26, 2022, the local government hospitals had recorded the infection in more than 82 children under the age of five Anchal, Aryankavu, and Neduvathur are the other areas of Kerala that are impacted. The neighbouring states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka were made aware of this endemic viral illness. The Regional Medical Research Centre in Bhubaneswar also reported that 26 children (aged 1 to 9 years) in Odisha had the illness. New Outbreak in India Other than Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Odisha, no other parts of India have experienced the virus's effects to date. Indian health authorities have not yet determined the etiological agent. It may be a subtype of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), according to experts. A serious infectious condition known as hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) may first exhibit oral symptoms. Coxsackievirus A16 and Enterovirus (EV) 71 are the two viruses responsible for the contagious but benign febrile illness known as HFMD. It belongs to the Human Enterovirus A (HEVA) species of the Enterovirus genus in the Picornaviridae family. A single-stranded, positive sense, polyadenylated RNA virus with an icosahedral symmetry structure, CV-A16 has around 7400 bases Skeletal muscle was found to be the primary site of early virus replication whereas the brain was thought to be the site for dissemination and characterization of a mouse model of CVA16 infection replication occurs rather late in the infection cycle. Fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, dehydration, joint swelling, body aches, and rashes on the hands and feet that progressively increase larger in size are some of the symptoms of tomato flu. For the diagnosis of dengue, Chikungunya, zika virus, varicella-zoster virus, and herpes in children with these symptoms, molecular and serological testing are performed. The presence of tomato virus is established after various viral diseases are checked out. Because tomato flu shares similarities with Chikungunya, dengue, and hand, foot, and mouth illness, it is treated similarly as well. Isolation, rest, lots of fluids, and a hot water sponge are used to relieve itching and rashes. It is necessary to administer Paracetamol as supportive therapy for fever, body aches, and other symptomatic treatment required. Due to the prevalence of viral infections in children and the likelihood of close contact-based transmission, children are at higher risk of exposure to tomato flu. No further issues were noted among the 100 affected youngsters, though. None of the children who had tomato flu were hospitalized, and selfrecovery was documented. Only 6.3% of CV-A16 infections resulted in aseptic meningitis in research comparing 177
129 Researchers are concerned over infant welfare after finding traces of microplastics in human breast milk for the first time ever. 1. Introduction: The term "microplastics" refers to tiny fragments of plastic that are less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) long and end up in the environment as a result of plastic pollution. Many products like Cosmetics, synthetic garments, plastic bottles and bags, contain microplastics. Several of these products easily travel via garbage and contaminate the environment. Microplastics consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms bound together in polymer chains. Microplastics usually contain additional chemical additives, such as phthalates, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), and many of these substances leach out of the plastics after they have been released into the environment. Fig.No:1 – Microscopic image of microplastic in ocean water. There are two categories of microplastics: primary and secondary. Examples of primary microplastics include plastic fibres used in synthetic fabrics, plastic pellets used in industrial manufacturing, and microbeads found in personal care items (e.g., nylon). Primary microplastics are released into the environment directly through a variety of routes, such as product use (for instance, domestic wastewater systems are polluted by personal care items), inadvertent loss from spills during production or transportation, or abrasion during washing (e.g., laundering of clothing made with synthetic textiles). When bigger plastics are subjected to weathering, such as when they are exposed to things like wave action, wind abrasion, and UV radiation from sunlight, secondary microplastics are produced as a by-product. We are seeing astonishing amounts of plastic garbage worldwide since more than 350 metric tons of plastic are produced annually on a global scale. In fact, it's estimated that our oceans contain 250,000 tons of plastic. EV-A71 and 64 CV-A16 patients during Taiwan's enterovirus outbreak. However, concerningly, 32% of EVA71 instances led to fatal pulmonary edema, encephalitis, polio like illness, encephalomyelitis, and aseptic meningitis. If the tomato flu outbreak in kids is not contained and stopped, it could have catastrophic repercussions by spreading to adults as well. Tomato flu is extremely contagious, just like other influenza kinds. To stop the spread of the tomato flu virus from Kerala to other regions of India, it is essential to carefully isolate any confirmed or suspected cases and take additional preventative measures. To stop the virus from spreading to other kids or adults, isolation should be practiced for 5-7 days after the onset of symptoms. The greatest method of prevention is to maintain proper hygiene, sanitize the surroundings, and forbid sick children from sharing toys, clothes, food, or other stuff with uninfected kids. Tomato flu cannot yet be treated or prevented using antiviral medications or vaccinations. It is advised to conduct more research on the unusual ailment. It is now the practitioner's responsibility to get ready and recognize either the normal or atypical forms of a new disease Fig. 1.

130 Microplastics have now been discovered for the first time in human breast milk by a study. In 26 of the 34 samples of breast milk, microplastics were found, according to a report published in Polymers an high impact research journal. Depending on size, shape, colour, and chemical composition the discovered microparticles were categorised. The microplastics, which ranged in size from 2 to 12 m, were often made of polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene. As Mia Funt, Co-Founder and Director of ByHeart said at London’s September 2022 Future FoodTech event, “it is undeniable that breast milk is best” when it comes to infant feeding. However, given these findings, caregivers all over the world may be forced to consider alternative baby feeding options such as formula. The discovery of microplastics in breast milk may be a first, but some human placentas—an organ that forms in the uterus during pregnancy— have also been shown to contain microplastics, according to an earlier study that served as the basis for the current research. Four out of the six placentas that were analysed had 12 microplastic particles, which were analysed with the aid to Raman microspectroscopy. Researchers found that the most of microplastics were found in coatings, paints, adhesives, plasters, finger paints, polymers, cosmetics, and personal care products that were made by humans. Despite statistical analysis of the data from this most recent study in respect to the details of certain patients, such as age, intake of plastic packed food and drink, seafood, and so forth, no significant relationship was discovered. The researchers contend that since plastic is so widespread, human exposure is unavoidable. 2. Detection and Characterisation of Microplastics in Human Breastmilk The development of reliable and fair techniques for microplastic detection and characterization is essential given the serious concern around the consequences of microplastic on both animal and human health. Raman Microspectroscopy (RMS), which enables researchers to characterise microparticles' morphological characteristics as well as their chemical composition in terms of both polymer matrices and pigments, can be regarded as the gold standard among all involved techniques. Because of the substantial potential of light scattering, Raman Microspectroscopy also has the benefit of enabling the study of microplastics as small as 2 µm directly on filtering membranes. Our research team recently discovered microplastic for the first time in human placenta samples and this study was conducted using by Raman Microspectroscopy, attracted much interest because the presence of microplastic may interfere with the sensitive function that this organ performs. 3. Conclusion: The discovery of microplastic in human breastmilk, along with the earlier finding of similar particles in human placenta, is exceedingly alarming since it affects the new-borns, which is particularly sensitive. In reality, the chemicals that might be present in the meals, drinks, and personal care items that nursing moms consume could be passed on to the children, perhaps having a harmful effect. Therefore, it is essential to step up efforts in scientific research to advance our understanding of the potential health risk posed by microplastic internalisation and accumulation, especially in infants, and to analyse inventive, useful ways to reduce exposure to these contaminants during pregnancy and lactation.
