A recent study highlights concerning long-term effects of COVID-19, including hypertension, lung fibrosis, and asthma. These health complications serve as a stark reminder of the virus’s lasting impact, emphasizing the importance of vaccination and continued research into understanding and mitigating these consequences. Stay informed and take precautions to protect your health.

A recent ICMR study revealed a higher likelihood of mortality within a year after COVID-19 hospitalization. Notably, individuals who had taken a dose of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine before infection had lower post-discharge mortality risks. Male gender and comorbidities also correlated with elevated risks.

New research highlights the surprising connection between irregular sleep patterns and harmful bacteria. A recent study found that individuals with disrupted sleep schedules, like shift workers, have altered gut microbiomes, which house bacteria crucial for digestion and immune function. These alterations might contribute to a range of health issues, from digestive problems to weakened immune responses. The findings emphasize the importance of maintaining a consistent sleep routine to support a healthy gut and overall well-being. Prioritizing regular sleep may prove to be an effective strategy for safeguarding against the potential negative impacts of an imbalanced gut microbiome.

Inadequate or poor drug quality could be a reason not just for poor response to medication but in selected situations could also lead to drug resistance or adverse side effects. Recently CDSCO flagged 59 batches of commonly-used medications for the same.

Humanity has always been intrigued by its origins. Where do we come from, and how are we related to those who came before us? What makes us, Homo sapiens, different from other hominins?

Svante Pääbo, the Paleo Geneticist and Evolutionary Anthropologist is the Director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. His remarkable discoveries, which include the identification of a previously unknown variety of human who lived alongside modern humans and Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, have had a revolutionary impact on our understanding of human evolution. The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institutet has decided to award the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

Through his pioneering research, Svante Pääbo accomplished something seemingly impossible: sequencing the genome of the Neanderthal, an extinct relative of present-day humans. He also made the sensational discovery of a previously unknown hominin, Denisova. Importantly, Pääbo also found that gene transfer had occurred from these now extinct hominins to Homo sapiens following the migration out of Africa around 70,000 years ago. This ancient flow of genes to present-day humans has physiological relevance today, for example affecting how our immune system reacts to infections.

Pääbo’s seminal research gave rise to an entirely new scientific discipline; paleogenomics. By revealing genetic differences that distinguish all living humans from extinct hominins, his discoveries provide the basis for exploring what makes us uniquely human.

Medicine and Medical Devices listed in the National List of Essential Medicines have to be sold at the price recommended by the National Pharmaceuticals Pricing Authority -NPPA. The new NLEM due to be released shortly aims to ensure that the essential antibiotics are available when required and the appropriate antibiotics get prescribed for the relevant infections.

Union Health Minister Shri Mansukh Mandaviya launched the sixth edition of the National Formulary of India on 28th Oct 2021. This formulary is published by Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) to promote rational use of medicines in the country. PyraMed is happy to participate in this exercise to promote the rational use of medicines. We welcome our doctors to download the same and make the best use of the same.

We have uploaded the recently released National Drug Formulary for easy reference by all our panel doctors. Please feel free to refer the same.
