Pharmacist alumni meet and Emergency Medical Care

How many of our Alumni meet to think about to organize life support training as one of the agendas in the program?? Very less or almost nil. Today I have instrumental in providing hands-on training to 80 (Pharmacists) Alumni members of National College of pharmacy through Aster Volunteers and get together was arranged in Rain country resorts, Lakkidi, Wayanad. They have their celebrations in the resort. They also found a needy training session. We don't know to whom, when and where someone needs life-saving efforts. When looking back, this awareness is commendable

Sometimes : Sila Samayangalil


https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80228322


Sometimes is a beautiful Priyadarsan movie streaming in Netflix since 2016. I watched it recently. Very sharply framed storyboard which portrayed most realistically. The Story based on seven people coming to a lab for HIV testing. The movie tells many things to us. It not only tells us about the dreaded disease AIDS but also reveal professionalism in healthcare. The highly impressive direction of the movie and its craftsmanship made it a different experience. First to last fame is live realistic and it will take us into the film. Priyan showed us again, and just a room is more than enough to create a movie of great value.
The movie is in Tamil with English subtitles. But to enjoy and understand the film, language is not a barrier. The presentation is so vivid and realistic. The actors like Prakash Raj, Shreya Reddy, Ashok Selvan and others not acting in the movie.  They are passionately live in the scenes.

Drugs and Toxins induced seizures in Emergency departments

  1. Seizures are the outward manifestation of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. • Direct intoxication from known poisons or psychotropic drugs, withdrawal from medications or alcohol, or idiosyncratic reactions to pharmaceuticals cause seizure
  2.  • Toxin changes in brain chemistry • Promote aberrant electro-cerebral responses which cause seizures • Drug- and toxin-associated seizures (DTSs) differ in etiology but may demonstrate
  3. DTS- How it differs? • Postictal state - confused • Ongoing electrical, subclinical status epilepticus • Continuous display electrical activities in the brain even after cessation of convulsion • Aura - unlikely • Features of partial seizure-like lateralized gaze and head deviation are rare
