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
Tim Noakes
When people speak of great scientists they always tend to focus on
the ones who worked with chemicals or broke the laws of physics.
It is always on fields that seem to be extremely scientific. But what
about people who work in the field of sports science? What about
great men and women of science that challenged the way people
thought about food and exercise? What about men like Tim
Noakes? This sports scientist from Cape Town in South Africa has
been redefining beliefs for years and has made numerous advances
in the field of sports science and pushes the limits of human
performance in different sporting fields. Check out what he has
done and you will see why he deserves to be honored.
Get to Know Timothy David Noakes
Timothy Noakes was born in 1949 in Harare, Zimbabwe but
moved to South Africa where he became an exercise and sports
science professor. This was the position he took at the University
of Cape Town in South Africa. What makes him so remarkable is
that he doesnt just preach but he practices as well. To date, he has
participated in over 70 ultra-marathons and marathons combined.
He has also authored some books, one of which is entitled Lore or
Running which became a best seller and a holy grail of sorts to
runners.
Early Life
As mentioned, Tim Noakes entered the world in Africa at Harare
which is located in Zimbabwe although his family made the move
to Cape Town in South Africa when he was just five. Like many
South Africans he was crazy about cricket. This was probably
Click here to go at the top

 10-03-2017

what paved the way for a career in sports science. He attended the
Monterey Preparatory School that was located right in Constantia
Cape Town. He went to attend Diocesan College afterwards. This
was where he earned his degrees. The first was his MBChB in 1974,
then came his MD in 1981. He got his DSC (Med) in 2002.
Tim Noakes: Educator, Researcher, and Author
A year before he got his MD, Noakes was given a directive to start
the course in sports science in the school at the University of Cape
Town. With that successful venture he then became the head of
the Bioenergetics Exercise Research Unit that was funded by the
Medical Research Council. Later on, this was turned into the
MRC/UCT Research Unit for Exercise Science and Sports
Medicine.
When the early 90s rolled in, Tim Noakes and former South
African rugby player Morne du Plessis founded the Sports Science
Institute of South Africa. Together with his unit, they managed to
produce over 370 articles in sports science and fitness since the
year 1996. As it happens, he is the leading researcher on a condition
that is known as exercise-related hyponatremia (also known as
EAH to stand for exercise-associated hyponatremia). For the very
first time he saw signs of the condition when watching a female
runner compete during the Comrades Marathon back in 1984. This
was a condition that people who run marathons often suffer after
filling up on too much water to supposedly combat dehydration.
He published the results of his findings a year after in the Medicine
and Science and sports and Exercise journal. Tim Noakes also
hosted the very first international consensus in EAH back in May
of 2005 in Cape Town.
He is also quite well known for elaborating and renewing the idea
proposed by Archibald Hill (Nobel Prize Winner for Physiology or
Medicine in 1922). The idea was of a central governor responsible
for regulating exercise so the body is adequately protected from
homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability of the body to maintain a
constant internal environment amidst changes in the environment.

Also in 2005, he went on to undertake a number of ground-

breaking experiments conducted in the Antarctic and Artic with
the participation of Lewis Gordon Pugh (British-born South
African swimmer). They conducted the research to better
understand the capabilities of the human body when under
extreme cold. During the course of their research he found out that
Pugh actually had the power to increase his bodys core
temperature before he entered the water to better prepare for the
cold. He is the man responsible for the term thermo-genesis in
description of the ability. When Pugh went on to undergo a 1-km
swim in the geographic North Pole back in 2007, Noakes was there
to serve as the expedition doctor.
Writings
With all the research that he published it was only a matter of
time before we started writing books. He went on to write several
books, one of which is the Lore of Running a book that is mainly
used by runners to enjoy, understand, and improve their running
performance. He also published a book entitled Waterlogged
where he takes people on a very informative journey into the world
of hydration for athletes. This is the same book where he states
that drinking too much water after a marathon can have bad
effects on the body and recovery of the athlete. Noakes worked
with a nutritionist and other chef-athletes for his next work
entitled The Real Meal Revolution where they walked and ran the
difficult path through different challenges that had to do with
nutritional science and experimenting on themselves. This book
has some ground-breaking revelations and stances but it also has
amazing and mouth-watering recipes backed by scientific study.
Awards
Tim Noakes is quite well-known for taking a challenging stance
when it comes to old and common paradigms of exercise
physiology. The American College of Sports Medicine honored him
when he went over to present the J.B. Wolfe Memorial lecture in
the year 1996. A lot of the work he has completed over the last
decade supported his model of the brain being the central governor

that dictated how much, how long, how strong, and how fast the
body could perform. Truly, he is a gem in the world of sports
science, and hopefully he will have more ground-breaking
revelations to share about the human body and exercise physiology
in years to come.

Mutual Recognition promises new framework for
pharmaceutical inspections for United States
and European Union

The United States and the European Union (EU) completed an

exchange of letters to amend the Pharmaceutical Annex to the
1998 U.S.-EU Mutual Recognition Agreement. Under this
agreement, U.S. and EU regulators will be able to utilize each
others good manufacturing practice inspections of pharmaceutical
manufacturing facilities.
The amended agreement represents the culmination of nearly three
years of U.S. Food and Drug Administration and EU cooperation as
part of the Mutual Reliance Initiative and will allow the FDA and
EU drug inspectors to rely upon information from drug
inspections conducted within each others borders. Ultimately,
this will enable the FDA and EU to avoid the duplication of drug
inspections, lower inspection costs and enable regulators to devote
more resources to other parts of the world where there may be
greater risk.
The Mutual Recognition Agreement is an important step in
working collaboratively and strategically with key partners to help
ensure that American patients have access to safe, effective and
high quality drugs, said Dara Corrigan, FDAs associate
commissioner for global regulatory policy.
In 2012, Congress passed the Food and Drug Administration Safety
Click here to go at the top

 10-03-2017

and Innovation Act, which gave the FDA authority to enter into
agreements to recognize drug inspections conducted by foreign
regulatory authorities if the FDA determined those authorities are
capable of conducting inspections that met U.S. requirements.
Since May 2014, the FDA and the EU have been collaborating to
evaluate the way they each inspect drug manufacturers and
assessing the risk and benefits of mutual recognition of drug
inspections. The FDA was invited to observe the EUs Joint Audit
Programme, in which two EU nations audit the inspectorate the
regulatory authority of another EU country. The FDA first
observed the audit of Swedens inspectorate by auditors from the
United Kingdom and Norway. Since then, the FDA has observed 13
additional audits of drug inspectorates across the EU with more
audit observations planned through 2017.
The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, promotes and protects the public health by,
among other things, 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 emit electronic
radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.
