MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL

"It can happen. It does happen.

But it can't happen if you quit." Lauren Dane.

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence then is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle

It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words for our e-bulletin. At the onset I would like to thank the
last years editors and congratulate the newly selected editors for the current year.

Our first consideration is always in the best interest of the students. Our goal is to promote academic
excellence and continuous improvement.

I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners are
supported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learning
and instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meeting
the needs of all students.

It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order to
achieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and look
forward to watching as you put your mark on the profession in the years ahead.

The call of the time is to progress, not merely to move ahead. Our progressive Management is looking
forward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken in
this direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teachers
are committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and play
the role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.

The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positive
challenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holistic
needs of our students.

I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of the
opportunities and meet the challenges with purpose and determination.

Excellence in Education is not a final destination, it is a continuous walk. I welcome you to join us on
this path.

My best wishes to all.

HISTORICAL ARTICLE
Virginia Apgar
The American physician, Virginia Apgar is best known for
developing the Apgar Newborn Scoring System (better known as
the Apgar Score), a simple, quick method for judging newborn
viability. The newborns appearance color, reflex irritability,
muscle tone, and respiration are assessed one minute and five
minutes after birth; low scores indicate possible health issues. The
test has saved countless infants, laid the foundations of
neonatology and caught potentially grave conditions. She was one
of Columbia Universitys first female M.D.s and one of the first
American women to specialize in anesthesia.
Life and Career:
Apgar was born on 7 June 1909 in Westfield, New Jersey.
Belonging to a family of amateur musicians, Apgar enjoyed playing
violin and other instruments, and became a skilled musician.
A Mount Holyoke graduate, Apgar was one of a few women to
complete her graduation during the 1930s from Columbias College
of Physicians and Surgeons (1933). In 1937 she successfully
completed a residency in surgery at Columbia. However, she was
dejected from practicing surgery by Dr. Allen Whipple, the chair of
surgery at Columbia. She finished her training in anesthesia and
returned to Columbia in 1938 as director of the newly formed
division of anesthesia. In 1938 she accepted the position of the
director of anesthesiology at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical
Center-the universitys first female department head. Also, she
became Columbias College of Physicians and Surgeons first
professor of anesthesiology in 1949 (a post which she held until

1959), while she also did clinical and research work at the affiliated
Sloane Hospital for Women.
In 1949, Virginia Apgar came up with the Apgar Score System
(presented in 1952 and published in 1953), which became popular
in the United States and elsewhere. Before her discovery, babies at
birth were assumed to be in good health unless they exhibited
some obvious suffering or imperfection: needless to say, internal
deficiencies (e.g., circulatory or respiratory) could be missed,
resulting all too often in death. Because Apgar realized that Birth
is the most hazardous time of life, she designed a system for
quickly and accurately assessing a babys health in the crucial
minutes after birth. While examining the systems effectiveness,
Apgar found out that cyclopropane as an anesthetic for the mother
had a harmful effect on the infant, and due to which, its use in
labor was put to an end.
In 1959, Apgar obtained a masters degree in public health from
Johns Hopkins and also the executive position with the March of
Dimes. In that capacity, she worked hard to improve the
healthcare of infants and children. For the next 14 years, until her
death, Apgar served as an activist, fund-raiser and an instructor. In
1995 she was introduced into the National Womens Hall of Fame.
Agpar published sixty scientific papers. Her book Is My Baby All
Right? (1972), co-written with Joan Beck became a popular
parenting hardback.
Death:
Virginia Apgar died as an unmarried lady on August 7, 1974, at
Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. The Virginia Apgar
Award is given every year by the American Academy of Pediatrics
for stupendous contributions to the field of perinatal pediatrics.

NEWS UPDATE
New structural studies reveal workings of a
molecular pump that ejects cancer drugs: (24th
February, 2017)
Sometimes cells spit out things we don't want them to -- like
medications. Researchers have determined the three-dimensional
structure of a tiny pump that expels, among other things,
chemotherapy agents. This new knowledge could lead to the
design of more effective drugs.
New risk factors for anxiety disorders: (24th
February, 2017)
Several newly discovered variants of a gene increase the risk of
developing anxiety disorders. A research team aims to derive new
therapies from this finding which are better tailored to the
individual patients.
New nano approach could cut dose of leading
HIV treatment in half: (24th February, 2017)
Successful results have utilized nanotechnology to improve drug
therapies for HIV patients.
Intensive lowering of systolic blood pressure
would prevent 107,500 early deaths per year:
(23th February, 2017)
Intensive treatment to lower systolic (top number) blood pressure
to below 120 would prevent 107,500 early deaths per year in the
United States, according to a new study.
Heart risks in middle age boost dementia risk
later in life: (22nd February, 2017)
Heart disease risk factors in middle age were associated with an
increased risk of dementia in later years. Smoking, high blood
pressure and diabetes were all dementia risks, with diabetes in
middle age raising the risk almost as much as a genetic risk factor

for Alzheimer's disease. Some risk factors had a different impact in

black and white participants, while genetics and smoking had a
greater impact in whites.
New discovery is a step towards developing
Huntington's disease treatments before
symptoms appear: (22nd February, 2017)
Early warning signs of Huntington's disease have been uncovered
in sheep carrying the human HD mutation, leading the way for
new insight into this devastating illness, a new study has found.
Depression puts psoriasis patients at
significantly greater risk of psoriatic arthritis:
(22nd February, 2017)
Psoriasis is a lifelong disease that is associated with significant
cosmetic and physical disability and puts patients at increased risk
for many major medical disorders. A multidisciplinary team of
researchers has found that psoriasis patients who developed
depression were at a 37 percent greater risk of subsequently
developing psoriatic arthritis, compared with psoriasis patients
who did not develop depression.
tDCS combined with computer games at home
reduces cognitive symptoms of multiple sclerosis:
(22nd February, 2017)
A new study reports that participants with multiple sclerosis who
used tDCS while playing the cognitive training computer games
designed to improve information processing abilities showed
significantly greater gains in cognitive measures than those who
played the computer games alone. Importantly, the participants
completed the cognitive training and tDCS while at home.

Exercise can significantly improve brain function

after stroke: (22nd February, 2017)
Structured physical activity training after a stroke effectively
improves brain function. Training that lasts as little as 12 weeks
can be an effective treatment to limit cognitive decline following a
stroke. Exercise can improve brain function in chronic stroke
patients.
Successful insomnia treatment may require
nothing more than a placebo: (21st February,
2017)
A new study indicates that successful treatment for insomnia may
not actually require complicated neurofeedback (direct training of
brain functions). Rather, it appears patients who simply believe
they're getting neurofeedback training appear to get the same
benefits.

KNOWLEDGE BASED ARTICLE

Louisiana drug and dietary supplement maker
ordered to cease operations due to federal
violations
U.S. District Judge Robert G. James for the U.S. District Court for
the Western District of Louisiana entered a consent decree of
permanent injunction against Pick and Pay Inc./Cili Minerals, a
manufacturer and distributor of drugs and dietary supplements,
and its owner, Anton S. Botha, requiring the business to
immediately cease operations until it comes into compliance with
federal laws.
The complaint, filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, sought a
permanent injunction against the company and its owners for
unlawfully manufacturing and distributing unapproved new

 24-02-2017

drugs, misbranded drugs, adulterated dietary supplements and

misbranded dietary supplements.
The company and its owner marketed their products online at
www.ciliminerals.com, www.cilihealthstore.com and www.cil-
ergy.com. They also sold their products through a retail location in
Lafayette, Louisiana.
The FDA works with companies to ensure their processes comply
with the public health requirements in our laws and regulations,
said Melinda Plaisier, FDA associate commissioner for regulatory
affairs. But when a company refuses to comply, we will take
enforcement action.
The FDA inspected Pick and Pay Inc./Cili Minerals four times
since 2012. During the inspections, the FDA found Pick and Pay
Inc./Cili Minerals was manufacturing and distributing misbranded
and unapproved new drugs as well as misbranded and adulterated
dietary supplements. The defendants marketed their products
with claims that they could treat medical conditions such as
cancer, cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, autism, bipolar
disorder, brain injury and epilepsy. The FDA has not approved
Pick and Pay Inc./Cili Minerals drugs for any use.
During the inspection, FDA investigators also found numerous
violations of the agencys current Good Manufacturing Practice
(cGMP) regulations for dietary supplements, including failing to
establish specifications for dietary supplement components and
failure to test or verify that components and finished products
meet product specifications for identity, purity, strength or
composition. Because the defendants failed to follow cGMP
regulations, their dietary supplements are adulterated under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
In May 2015, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Pick and Pay
Inc./Cili Minerals for similar violations.
The consent decree prohibits the company and its owner from
marketing and distributing misbranded or unapproved new drugs
and adulterated or misbranded dietary supplements. Before the
company and its owners can resume operations, they must, among

 24-02-2017

other things, recall and destroy their existing stock of drugs and
dietary supplements, hire labeling and good manufacturing
practices experts, and receive written permission from the FDA to
resume operations.
Pick and Pay Inc./Cili Minerals is based in Lafayette, Louisiana.
The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety,
effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines
and other biological products for human use, and medical devices.
The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our
nations food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products
that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco
products.
