Oral Contraceptive Pills : Uses , Fuctions, Toxic Syndrommes..........



















Oral cotraceptive pills are tablets that prevents conception. Perhaps its the most accepted contraceptive method in developing countries. Its principle function is to prevent conception and it doesn't give any protection against HIV and other STD's.


Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCP) are mainly two types.

1. Combiled OCP.
2. Progesteron OR Estrogen only Pills.

The mechanism of action of OCP is very simple. We know that female Menstrual cycle is devided into three phases.

1. Proliferative phase : Here estrogen is secreted by Ovary , which causes uterine endrometrial growth. After this phase there is sudden withdrwal af estrogen which causes Ovulation ( It is the fall of mature ovum into Peritoneal Cavity , which ultimately comes into the uterine tube and finally in uterus ).

2. Secretory phase : Here both Progesterone and Estrogen Causes more and more growth if endometrium and increase secretion by the uterine glands.

3. The Menstrual phase : Here sudden Withdrawal of Progesterone cause increase uterine contraction and shedding out of uterine endometrium with mature Ovum , which is visible as bleeding.






















Now, OCP maintains a steady concentration of estrogen and progesterone into the body. Though , Ovulation occur due to sudden withdrawal of estrogen and OCP maintains estrogen level , so , there is no ovulation in the body. And , there is menstruation due to sudden withdrawal of progesterone , because , OCP intake should be stopped after 21 days. After this , the women will take 7 Iron tablets , and by this period there is sudden withdrwal of progesterone in the body. So , there is menstruation but without any ovulation.
Now, though there is no ovulation so , so Sperms inters into the vagina and uterus they can not find any mature ovum in female genital tract. So , there is no fertilization in the body. So, that women will not conceve .
By this way OCP maintains Contraception into the body.

Artificial pancreas ... an option

Coming Soon: 'Artificial Pancreas' Options for Diabetes Miriam E Tucker June 20, 2016   NEW ORLEANS — Nearly closed-loop systems (also referred to as an "artificial pancreas") for improving glycemic control and minimizing hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes are advancing rapidly, including iterations that deliver insulin alone, insulin with glucagon, or glucagon alone. Findings for several of the products in development demonstrating improvements in glycemic control and reductions in hypoglycemia were presented here at the  American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2016 Scientific Sessions . "Some people may do well on insulin only, while others may need glucagon," Vincent Crabtree, PhD, director of the artificial pancreas program at JDRF, in New York, told  Medscape Medical News , adding, "JDRF would like people to have choice, and we'd like all to be covered [by payers]." The insulin-only hybrid closed-loop 670G system (Medtronic MiniMed) is the...

Protein in human blood platelets points to a new weapon against malaria

One of the world's most devastating diseases is   malaria , responsible for at least a million deaths annually, despite global efforts to combat it. Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, working with collaborators from Drexel University, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Johns Hopkins University, have identified a protein in human blood platelets that points to a powerful new weapon against the disease. Their work was published in this months' issue of Cell Host and Microbe. Malaria is caused by parasitic microorganisms of the Plasmodium genus, which infect red blood cells. Recent research at other universities showed that blood platelets can bind to infected red blood cells and kill the parasite, but the exact mechanism was unclear. The investigators on the Cell Host and Microbe paper hypothesized that it might involve host defense peptides (HDP) secreted by the platelets. "We eventually found that a single...

Liver Stem Cells Discovered in Mice Share on email Share on facebook Share on twitter Scientists successfully identified and grew a renewable population of liver stem cells for the first time, a new study reported. Tissues derived from these stem cells slightly boosted liver function when implanted into mice with a liver disorder. The findings could eventually lead to approaches that help rejuvenate damaged livers in people. A single cell was coaxed to mature into liver cells that produce common liver proteins (green and red).  Image courtesy of Huch et al.,  Nature . The liver is a large, versatile organ that has many jobs, including cleansing blood and digesting food. The liver also has a unique ability to quickly regenerate and regain its original size if partially removed by surgery. Scientists have long known that stem cells that have the potential to create more liver cells must exist in the adult liver. But until now, no one had found a way to detect a...
