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
Thomas Alva Edison
Thomas Alva Edison is one of the greatest American inventors who
held countless patents, majority of them related to electricity and
power. While two of his most famous inventions are the
incandescent lamp and the phonograph, arguably the most
significant invention of Edison is considered to be organized
research.
Early Life:
Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in the historic city of Milan
(Ohio). His father was a versatile person and a man-of-all-work,
while his mother was a teacher. Edison was mostly homeschooled
by his mother. Edison became a salesman of fruit, paper and other
goods on the Grand Trunk Railroad at a tender age of 12. With the
help of his tiny handpress in a trash car, he wrote and published
the Grand Trunk Herald in 1862, which was sent to 400 railroad
employees. The same year Edison worked as a telegraph operator,
trained by the father of a kid whose life he had saved. Edison was a
tramp telegrapher, as he was exempted from military service due
to his deafness. He was recruited in 1868 by Western Union
Telegraph Company in Boston.
Early Conceptions:
Perhaps the first invention of Edison was a telegraph repeater in
1864 which worked automatically, while his earliest patent was
registered for an electric vote recorder. He acquired partnership in
a New York electrical company in 1869, where he honed the stock
ticker and sold it. With all his money, Edison paid for his own

factory in Newark, N.J., where he hired technicians to help him

with the inventions. His dream was to create an invention
factory. Almost 80 earnest men, including physicists,
mathematicians and chemists, were among his collaborators.
Invention to order made him good money at this place.
From 1870 to 1875 Edison devised many telegraphic advances
including receivers, transmitters, the duplex, tape and automatic
printers. He also collaborated in 1871 with Christopher Sholes, also
known as father of the typewriter, to ameliorate the typing
machine. Edison claimed to have made twelve typewriters at
Newark in 1870. As a result, the Remington Company purchased
his interests.
Edisons carbon telegraph transmitter for Western Union brought
a breakthrough for the creation of the Bell telephone. The money
he got from Western Union for the transmitter was spent to
establish a factory in Menlo Park, N.J. One more time, he used
scientific talent to register over 300 patents in only 6 years. His
electric pen (1877) developed stencils to produce copies.
Other Inventions and Contributions:
Probably his most impressive invention, the phonograph, was
patented in 1877. By 1890 Edison had about 80 patents under his
name, and that was pretty much the reason The Victor Company
came into being.
To explore incandescence, Edison and his fellows, among them J.
P. Morgan, developed the Edison Electric Light Company in 1878.
Years later, the company became the General Electric Company.
Edison invented the first practical incandescent lamp in 1879.
With months of hard work researching metal filaments, Edison
and his staff analyzed 6,000 organic fibers around the world and
determined that the Japanese bamboo was ideal for mass
production. Large scale production of these cheap lamps turned
out to be profitable, hence the first fluorescent lamp was patented
in 1896.
Edison made an amazing discovery in pure science, termed as the
Edison Effect. He discovered in 1883 that electrons flowed from

 31-03-2017

incandescent filaments. The lamp could function as a valve using a

metal-plate insert, while taking only negative electricity. A method
to transmit telegraphic aerial signals over short distances was
patented by Edison in 1885. The wireless patent was later sold to
Guglielmo Marconi.
The huge West Orange, N.J., factory was supervised from 1887 to
1931 by Edison. This was probably the worlds most cutting-edge
research laboratory, and a forerunner to modern research and
development laboratories, with experts systematically
investigating and researching for the solution of problems.
The Edison battery, made perfect in 1910, used an alkaline
electrolyte, and proved to be a superb storage device. The copper
oxide battery, strikingly similar to modern dry cells, was modified
in 1902.
The kinetograph, his motion picture camera, was able to
photograph action on 50-foot strips of film, and produced about
sixteen images per foot. A young assistant of Edison built a small
laboratory in 1893 called the Black Maria, which was substantial
in making the first Edison movies. The kinetoscope projector of
1893 finally displayed the films. The earliest commercial movie
theater, a peepshow, was established in New York in 1884. After
developing and modifying the projector of Thomas Armat in 1895,
Edison commercialized it as the Vitascope.
The Edison Company created over 1,700 movies. Edison set the
benchmark for talking pictures in 1904 by synchronizing movies
with the phonograph. His cinemaphone adjusted the film speed to
phonograph speed. The kinetophone projected talking pictures in
1913. The phonograph, behind the screen, was synchronized by
pulleys and ropes with the projector. Edison brought forth many
talkies.
The universal motor, which utilized alternating or direct current,
appeared in 1907. The electric safety lantern, patented in 1914,
significantly reduced casualties among miners. The same year
Edison devised the telescribe, which unified characteristics of the
telephone and dictating phonograph.

Services for the Government:

Edison presided the U.S. Navy Consulting Board throughout
World War I and made 45 more inventions. These inventions
included substitutes for antecedently imported chemicals (such as
carbolic acid), a ship-telephone system, an underwater searchlight,
defensive instruments against U-boats, among others. Later on,
Edison launched the Naval Research Laboratory, the eminent
American institution for research involving organized weapons.
Death:
This multi-genius died on Oct. 18, 1931 in West Orange, N.J. The
laboratory buildings and equipment affiliated with Edison were
upheld in Greenfield Village, Detroit, Michigan by Henry Ford, a
friend and admirer.

NEWS UPDATE
Preclinical research: More reliably predicting
what will work: (31st March, 2017)
A recent study has shown that a more flexible approach to study
design can significantly improve the efficiency of preclinical
research.
Genes associated with Erdheim-Chester disease
also linked to cancer: (31st March, 2017)
Newly identified genes associated with Erdheim-Chester disease
(ECD), an ultra-rare disease, are also linked to cancer, according to
a new study. Thus, ECD should be considered a type of cancer and
treated by oncologists. A new clinical trial -- enrolling ECD
patients now -- will test the use of the drugs dabrafenib and
trametinib.
Experimental small molecule shows potential in
preventing meth relapse: (31st March, 2017)
The reason methamphetamine users find it so hard to quit -- 88
percent of them relapse, even after rehab -- is that meth takes
advantage of the brain's natural learning process, say scientists.

Helping the retina regenerate: (31st March,

2017)
A new report gives recommendations for regenerating retinal
ganglion cells (RGCs), crucial neurons in the back of the eye that
carry visual information to the brain.
Children with autism find understanding facial
expressions difficult but make similar mistakes
as peers, new study finds: (31st March, 2017)
Young people with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) have
difficulties recognizing and distinguishing between different facial
expressions, according to research from one of the largest studies
to look at emotion recognition in children and adolescents with
ASC.
A new approach to amplifying DNA: (31st
March, 2017)
Analyzing DNA is useful for a number of vital applications. This
includes diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, identification of
criminals, and studying the function of a targeted segment of DNA.
However, methods used for analyses often require more DNA than
may be available in a typical sample. A new polymerase chain
reaction method could help the amplification process, and thus
develop robust assays that previously would not have been
possible.

FDA approves new eczema drug Dupixent
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Dupixent
(dupilumab) injection to treat adults with moderate-to-severe
eczema (atopic dermatitis). Dupixent is intended for patients
whose eczema is not controlled adequately by topical therapies, or

 31-03-2017

those for whom topical therapies are not advisable. Dupixent can
be used with or without topical corticosteroids.
FDAs approval of Dupixent demonstrates our commitment to
approving new and innovative therapies for patients with skin
disease, said Julie Beitz, M.D., director of the Office of Drug
Evaluation III in the FDAs Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research. Eczema can cause significant skin irritation and
discomfort for patients, so it is important to have a variety of
treatment options available to patients, including those patients
whose disease is not controlled by topical therapies.
Atopic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, is often
referred to as eczema, which is a general term for several types of
inflammation of the skin. Atopic dermatitis is the most common of
the many types of eczema; onset typically begins in childhood and
can last through adulthood. The cause of atopic dermatitis is a
combination of genetic, immune and environmental factors. In
atopic dermatitis, the skin develops red, scaly and crusted bumps,
which are extremely itchy. Scratching leads to swelling, cracking,
weeping clear fluid, and finally, coarsening and thickening of the
skin.
Dupixent is administered as an injection under the skin.
Dupixents active ingredient is an antibody (dupilumab) that
binds to a protein [interleukin-4 (IL-4) receptor alpha subunit (IL-
4Ra)], that causes inflammation. By binding to this protein,
Dupixent is able to inhibit the inflammatory response that plays a
role in the development of atopic dermatitis.
The safety and efficacy of Dupixent were established in three
placebo-controlled clinical trials with a total of 2,119 adult
participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis not
adequately controlled by topical medication(s). Overall,
participants who received Dupixent achieved greater response,
defined as clear or almost clear skin, and experienced a reduction
in itch after 16 weeks of treatment.
Dupixent can cause side effects such as serious allergic reactions
and eye problems, such as pink eye (conjunctivitis) and

 31-03-2017

inflammation of the cornea (keratitis). If patients experience new

or worsening eye symptoms such as redness, itching, pain or visual
changes, they should consult a health care provider. The most
common side effects include injection site reactions; cold sores in
the mouth or on the lips; and eye and eyelid inflammation,
including redness, swelling and itching.
The safety and efficacy of Dupixent have not been established in
the treatment of asthma. Patients who also have asthma should not
adjust or stop their asthma treatment without talking to their
physicians.
The FDA granted the approval of Dupixent to Regeneron
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
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.

March 2017 by PCR and sequencing at Erasmus MC, and by PCR

on a different target at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical
Medicine, Hamburg, Germany.
While in Suriname, the patient spent nights in Paramaribo and
visited places around Paramaribo, including the districts of
Commewijne (Frederiksdorp and Peperpot) and Brokopondo
(Brownsberg), the latter is considered to be the most probable
place of infection. She experienced onset of symptoms (headache
and high fever) on 28 February 2017 and was admitted to an
intensive care unit (University Medical Center) in the Netherlands
on 3 March 2017 with liver failure. The patient is currently in
critical condition.
Suriname is considered an area at risk for yellow fever and requires
a yellow fever vaccination certificate at entry for travellers over one
year of age arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever,
according to the WHO list of countries with risk of yellow fever
transmission; WHO also recommends yellow fever vaccination to
all travellers aged nine months and older. This is the first reported
case of yellow fever in Suriname since 1972.
