Thiamine (vitamin B1) is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in converting carbohydrates into energy, supplying and supporting the body to maintain normal cellular functions and daily activities. Inside the body, thiamine is converted into its active form, thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), which functions as a coenzyme in several key metabolic reactions. It plays an important role in the breakdown of carbohydrates to produce ATP, the body’s main energy source. Thiamine is also essential for proper nerve function, as it helps in the transmission of nerve signals and supports brain activity. Organs with high energy demands, such as the brain and heart, rely heavily on adequate thiamine levels to function properly.

Thiamine deficiency can occur due to poor diet, chronic alcohol consumption, or conditions that impair nutrient absorption. Low levels of thiamine can disrupt energy metabolism and affect the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Severe deficiency may lead to Beriberi, which can cause muscle weakness, heart problems, and nerve damage. It may also result in Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome, a serious neurological condition associated with confusion, memory loss, and impaired coordination.

Chloroquine is an oral medication mainly used to treat and prevent 𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖, a disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. It belongs to a group of drugs called antimalarials and has also been used in some inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

Chloroquine works by entering the malaria parasite and interfering with how it processes nutrients. The parasite normally breaks down hemoglobin and converts toxic substances into a harmless form. Chloroquine blocks this process, causing toxic materials to build up inside the parasite. This buildup damages and eventually kills the parasite, helping stop the infection and prevent its spread in the body.

Taking chloroquine may cause some side effects. Common effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, dizziness, and skin rashes. Some people may also experience itching, sensitivity to sunlight, or ringing in the ears. In more serious cases, chloroquine can affect vision (such as blurred vision or difficulty seeing colors), cause heart rhythm changes, or lead to mood and behavior changes. Long-term use may increase the risk of eye damage, so regular monitoring is important. If severe symptoms occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that is primarily produced by the kidneys, playing a vital role in the regulation of red blood cell production, also known as erythropoiesis.

Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to body tissues to aid in proper biological function. EPO release is triggered by specialized cells in the kidneys that detect low blood oxygen level by relaying information to the bones to make more red blood cells. Similarly, when these specialized cells detect enough oxygen in the blood, it tells the kidneys to make less EPO. Healthcare providers measure EPO levels with a blood test to figure out what factors affect how the body releases EPO. Inappropriately high levels of EPO causes high levels of red blood cells (polycythemia) causing the blood to thicken, it may result from anemia, tumors, or possible long-exposure to low blood oxygen levels. On the other hand, low levels of EPO may be due to damaged kidneys or also known as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), or from existing anemic disorders.

Erythropoietin binds to specific EPO-receptors on the surface of erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow, triggering intracellular signaling pathways. This binding activates the JAK2/STAT5 pathways, which promotes gene expression involved in the production of red blood cells, cell growth, and survival. It also prevents programmed cell death or apoptosis by activating the apoptosis inhibitor Bcl-x 3, allowing immature red blood cells to mature properly. Additionally, EPO activates other signaling pathways that further support the proliferation and differentiation of red blood cells.

Tamoxifen is an oral medication used to treat and help prevent certain types of breast cancer. It belongs to a group of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). These medicines work by affecting the hormone estrogen, which can promote the growth of some breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen is commonly prescribed for patients with hormone-sensitive breast cancer and is often used as part of long-term treatment to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.

It works by blocking the effects of estrogen in breast tissue. It attaches to estrogen receptors on cells, preventing estrogen from binding and stimulating cell growth. Since some breast cancer cells depend on estrogen to grow, this action helps slow down or stop the growth of these cancer cells. In this way, tamoxifen helps control tumor progression and lowers the risk of cancer returning.

Taking tamoxifen may cause some side effects. Common effects include hot flashes, nausea, fatigue, mood changes, and changes in menstrual periods. Some individuals may also experience vaginal discharge, weight changes, or mild swelling. In rare but serious cases, tamoxifen can increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, or uterine cancer. Because of these risks, any unusual symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, abnormal bleeding, or severe headaches should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.

One breath can spread it, one action can stop it.

World TB Day, held every 24th of March, is a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about Tuberculosis, a contagious bacterial infection that commonly affects the lungs. Today commemorates the discovery of the Tuberculosis-causing Mycobacterium by Dr. Robert Koch, highlighting the urgent need to eliminate the disease, which remains to be one of the leading infectious killers worldwide despite being preventable and treatable. XPRT ANALYTICAL SERVICES Corporation joins the global effort along with the health community to spread awareness, encouraging early detection, and promoting accessible and effective treatment.

Tuberculosis spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks by releasing tiny droplets containing the bacteria that can be inhaled by others. Once inside the body, the bacteria damages the lung tissues, interfering with normal breathing and reducing lung capacity. Common symptoms include persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, fatigue, and weight loss. Early recognition of these symptoms is essential for a timely diagnosis and treatment. Prevention of Tuberculosis involves a combination of awareness, early recognition, and proper medical attention to avoid complications and possible transmission of the disease.

If you are experiencing symptoms or believed to have been exposed to Tuberculosis, seek immediate medical attention at your nearest health center or consult a healthcare professional. You may also access free services through the National Tuberculosis Control Program or visit their website via https://ntp.doh.gov.ph/. The program aims to make the Philippines Tuberculosis-free by ensuring accessible TB care for everyone.

Isoniazid is an antibiotic and bactericidal agent that fights against microorganisms of the genus 𝑀𝑦𝑐𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑢𝑚, which are a group of rod-shaped bacteria that is responsible for causing Tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is caused by the invasion of bacteria to lung tissues - pulmonary tuberculosis being the most common, triggering an immune response that forms granulomas (clusters of immune cells) to contain the infection. The infection may damage lung tissue creating holes on the lungs which severely reduces lung capacity. Common symptoms of tuberculosis include persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, fatigue, and weight loss. Tuberculosis is infectious and spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks by releasing tiny droplets containing the bacteria that can be inhaled by others. Diagnosis is typically made using chest X-rays, sputum or lung fluid tests, and skin or blood tests to identify the body’s immune response to the infection.

Isoniazid is a prodrug which is a pharmacologically inactive compound that becomes active after undergoing enzymatic conversion within the body. It is activated by the bacterial enzyme called catalase-peroxidase KatG, creating inhibitors that affect the mycobacterium’s production of mycolic acid, which is an essential component for building and maintaining the protective cell wall of bacteria. By blocking this process, isoniazid has the ability to be a potent bactericidal agent preventing the bacteria from growing and multiplying.

Isoniazid is typically taken orally in tablet form in combination with other TB medications (ex. Rifampin) to get rid of the infection, but it can also be administered by injection in certain clinical situations. The dosage and duration of the treatment depends on the severity of the infection. It is rapidly absorbed and distributed into all body tissue after oral or intramuscular administration, and it is primarily eliminated through the liver and kidneys by undergoing acetylation converting isoniazid into inactive metabolites. These metabolites and small amounts of unreacted isoniazid are filtered by the kidneys and eventually excreted in the urine, while small amounts are excreted in f***s and saliva.

Prevention, early diagnosis, and proper treatment can help save lives!

Ethambutol is an oral antibiotic mainly used to treat tuberculosis (TB), a serious bacterial infection that usually affects the lungs. It belongs to a group of medicines called antimycobacterial drugs and is commonly used together with other TB medications such as isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide. Ethambutol helps control the infection by stopping the growth of the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, making it an important part of combination therapy for TB treatment.

It works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for the survival of tuberculosis bacteria. It blocks enzymes called 𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙨𝙮𝙡𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙨, preventing the production of important cell wall components such as arabinogalactan. Without a properly formed cell wall, the bacteria cannot grow or multiply effectively, which helps slow down the spread of infection and allows the body’s immune system and other medications to eliminate the bacteria.

Taking ethambutol may cause some side effects. Common effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, or dizziness. Some individuals may also experience joint pain or mild confusion. A more serious but uncommon side effect is vision problems, such as blurred vision or difficulty distinguishing red and green colors, due to irritation of the optic nerve. Because of this risk, regular eye check-ups are recommended during treatment. If sudden changes in vision or severe symptoms occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 widely used in nutritional supplements and fortified foods to prevent or treat vitamin B12 deficiency. The name Cyanocobalamin comes from its chemical structure, which contains a cyanide ligand (-CN) bound to a center Cobalt (Co) atom within the corrin ring. It can be administered orally or through injection to treat the deficiency. Oral supplements are commonly used for individuals with mild deficiency or for general nutritional support. However, in cases where absorption is impaired, Cyanocobalamin is given through injections bypassing the digestive system and directly into the bloodstream, ensuring effective delivery.

Cyanocobalamin in the bloodstream is absorbed into cells with the help of specific B12 binding or carrier proteins. Inside the cell, it is converted into its active coenzyme forms (ex. Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin) which are essential in maintaining proper cellular function such as cell growth and reproduction, supports metabolic pathways, and the synthesis of macromolecules. The body regulates vitamin B12 by storing a portion in the liver, and excess is removed via the kidneys and eventually excreted in the urine due to its high water solubility.

Vitamin B12 deficiency may occur when the body does not obtain enough vitamin B12, leading to impaired biological function. It is commonly caused by poor dietary intake or malabsorption due to an existing disorder. If left untreated, prolonged deficiency may result in neurological disorders and may progress to conditions such as Pernicious Anemia, which is an autoimmune disorder causing the body to lack intrinsic factors. Vitamin B12 deficiency can be diagnosed through blood tests, particularly through complete blood count (CBC).

Early detection is always the key! 😎

Acetylsalicylic acid, also known as aspirin, is still the most commonly used medication in the world and is considered one of the most important pharmacological discoveries of the 20th century. Although Felix Hoffmann refined its present synthesis in 1897, its origins date back thousands of years, making it a pivotal point in the development of medicine. In addition to its well-known ability to reduce pain, headaches, fever, and inflammation, it is an essential component of cardiovascular health. It is commonly used to prevent blood clots and lower the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) by inhibiting platelet aggregation.

Aspirin is essential for cardiovascular health since it lowers the risk of heart-related problems, which goes beyond just relieving pain. By acting as a strong inhibitor of platelet aggregation, it keeps harmful blood clots from forming, which can result in myocardial infarction, or heart attacks. Aspirin is non-selective for COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes at the molecular level. Aspirin must be used carefully despite its long history and extensive usage because it inhibits these enzymes, which prevent the formation of prostaglandins, the lipids that indicate pain, and thromboxane A2, a major inducer of platelet clumping. Side effects like nausea, allergic reactions, hearing loss, and increased bleeding are known to occur. Most significantly, because of the possibility of severe consequences or poisoning, it should be given with great caution, especially to youngsters. However, when taken as directed, aspirin continues to be a vital component of contemporary medicine, bridging the gap between sophisticated cardiovascular prophylaxis and traditional herbal medicines.

Rabies is 100% fatal but 100% preventable.

𝐗𝐏𝐑𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 joins the health community in raising awareness about rabies, a fatal viral disease that remains a serious public health concern in the Philippines. 𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀 is commonly transmitted through the bite, scratch, or saliva of infected animals, with dogs accounting for the majority of human cases. While rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, it is entirely preventable through responsible pet ownership, regular vaccination of dogs, avoidance of stray or unfamiliar animals, and immediate medical care after potential exposure.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙛 𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙:
1. Immediately wash the wound with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes.
2. Apply an antiseptic, if available.
3. Do not self-medicate.
4. Proceed to the nearest Animal Bite Treatment Center (ABTC) as soon as possible.

𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥:
The Department of Health (DOH) provides free and accessible services through Animal Bite Treatment Centers nationwide. A list of public ABTCs can be found at:
https://rabies.doh.gov.ph/index.php/rabies-facilities/public-animal-bite-treatment-centers

By choosing to vaccinate our pets, avoiding contact with stray or unfamiliar animals, sharing accurate information, and responding quickly to potential exposures, we play a vital role in breaking the cycle of rabies transmission. Let us work together to protect lives and move closer to a rabies-free Philippines, where no one has to suffer from a disease that is entirely preventable. 🐕💉

Ipratropium Bromide is a medication used to minimize and treat symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It is taken by inhalation as an anticholinergic bronchodilator to provide localized relief in the airways without being absorbed throughout the body. By inhibiting the M1 and M3 subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, it functions as an antagonist. This drug successfully inhibits the cholinergic stimulation that causes bronchoconstriction since acetylcholine typically instructs smooth muscles to contract.

In addition to clearing the airways, this treatment works well to reduce symptoms including excessive sputum production and chronic coughing. Although the mechanism of action is quick, it's important to remember that long-term use, especially after an acute asthma attack, hasn't been shown to provide any real benefits. Potential adverse effects, such as murky urine, frequent urination, shortness of breath, and bladder pain, should also be kept in mind by patients. It is still essential for long-term respiratory maintenance since it addresses the root cause of lung muscle tightness.
