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 year’s 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
William Harvey (1578-1657)
William Harvey was the first person to correctly describe blood’s
circulation in the body.
He showed that arteries and veins form a complete circuit. The
circuit starts at the heart and leads back to the heart.
The heart’s regular contractions drive the flow of blood around the
whole body.
Early Life and Education:
William Harvey was born on April 1, 1578 in Folkstone, England.
He was born into a relatively wealthy family: his father, Thomas
Harvey, was a successful businessman who became Mayor of
Folkstone; his mother, Joane Hawke, gave birth to nine children, of
whom William was the eldest.
William Harvey started his education at a small elementary school
in Folkstone, moving on at the age of 10 to the elite King’s
Grammar School in Canterbury.
While attending King’s Grammar School he lived in his uncle’s
home and spent most of his school time learning the classics –
Latin was essential throughout Europe for academic and legal
work.
Medical Student
Cambridge
In 1593, aged 15, the young Harvey enrolled as a medical student at
the University of Cambridge; he had won a scholarship to pay his
living costs and tuition fees there for six years. In the last two years
of the six-year scholarship, he spent some time at universities in

France, Germany and Italy, learning more about science and
medicine.
Padua
In 1599, aged 21, he enrolled at the University of Padua in Italy,
which was acclaimed for its medical and anatomy courses.
(Interestingly, when Harvey arrived in Padua, Galileo Galilei had
already been there for seven years, teaching mathematics, physics
and astronomy.)
The greatest influence on Harvey at Padua University was his
teacher, Hieronymus Fabricius, who was a skilled anatomist and
surgeon. The two became friends and Harvey learned from
Fabricius that dissection offered a route to better understanding of
the human body.
Fabricius had discovered valves in human veins in 1574, although
he did not publish his discovery until 1603.
An
Outstanding
Student
In 1602, Harvey graduated as a Doctor of Medicine from Padua.
William Harvey’s Work
Harvey returned to England in 1602. On his return, the University
of Cambridge awarded him a Doctor of Medicine degree, adding to
the one he already had from Padua. He then moved to London to
work as a physician.
He joined the College of Physicians in 1604, becoming a Fellow of
the College in 1607 and Head Physician at St Bartholomew’s
Hospital.
In 1615, aged 37, Harvey became the College of Physicians’
Lumleian Lecturer, specializing in teaching surgery. In this role, he
gave an annual series of lectures, while continuing his work at St
Bartholemew’s Hospital.
By the time he was 40, Harvey had won recognition as the best
physician in London and was appointed as physician to the king –
King James – in 1618.
In 1632, aged 54, he became physician to King Charles.

The Circulation of Blood
Harvey was able to make his discoveries because he ignored
medical text books, preferring his own observations and the
deductions he made during dissections of animals.
Harvey’s Main Conclusions about Blood Circulation
Harvey showed for the first time that the arteries and veins
circulate blood through the whole body. He showed that the
heart’s beat produces a constant circulation of blood through the
whole body. He refuted many of the then standard beliefs of how
the heart and blood system worked, establishing that:
blood in the arteries and the veins is all of the same origin, not
manufactured in different parts of the body
the blood sent through the arteries to the tissues is not consumed
there
the circulation mechanism is designed for movement of liquid, not
air. The blood on the right side, although carrying air, is still blood
the heart is the source of blood movement, not the liver
the heart contracts at the same time as a pulse is felt
the ventricles squeeze blood into the aorta and pulmonary artery
the pulse is not produced by the arteries pulling blood in, but by
blood being pushed by the heart into the arteries, enlarging them
there are no vessels in the heart’s septum: all of the blood in the
right ventricle goes to the lungs and then through the pulmonary
veins to the left ventricle
Similarly, all of the blood in the left ventricle is sent into the
arteries, round by the smaller veins into the venae cavae, and then
to the right ventricle again. In this way, the circulation is complete.
The blood has come back to where it began its circuit of the body
there is no to-and-fro movement of blood in the veins, but a
constant flow of blood to the heart.
The End:
William Harvey died in London, aged 79, at the home of one of his
brothers, on June 3, 1657. The cause of death was most probably a
cerebral hemorrhage. He had no children, and his wife, Elizabeth

Browne, died before he did. William Harvey’s grave can be found
in the village of Hempstead, in the English county of Essex.
NEWS UPDATE
Scientists pave way for diamonds to trace early
cancers: (09th October, 2015)
Physicists have devised a way to use diamonds to identify
cancerous tumors before they become life threatening. Their
findings reveal how a nanoscale, synthetic version of the precious
gem can light up early-stage cancers in non-toxic, non-invasive
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans.

October, 2015)
Scientists have calculated more precise measurements of
heritability -- the influence of underlying genes -- in nine
autoimmune diseases that begin in childhood. The research may
strengthen researchers' abilities to better predict a child's risk for
associated autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune diseases, such as
type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease and juvenile idiopathic arthritis,
collectively affect one in 12 persons in the Western hemisphere.

An estimated seven to ten million people worldwide are living
with Parkinson's disease (PD). More than half of PD patients
develop progressive disease showing signs of dementia similar to
Alzheimer's disease. A research team has discovered that noninheritable PD may be caused by functional changes in the immune
regulating gene Interferon-beta. Treatment with Interferon-betagene therapy successfully prevented neuronal death and disease
effects in an experimental model of PD.

Common gene variant linked to chromosome
errors, early pregnancy loss: (08th October,
2015)
Researchers have identified a common genetic variant strongly
associated with chromosome gains and losses during the early
stages of human embryonic development. These errors in cell
division, which are almost always fatal to the embryo, are thought
to be a major cause of early pregnancy loss in humans and
contribute to failure of in vitro fertilization treatments.
Study sheds light on protecting transgender
individuals from suicide: (08th October, 2015)
The likelihood of a transgender person attempting suicide is very
high, often because of the prejudice, transphobia and other
stressors. A new study examined factors that may protect
transgender adults from attempting suicide. Its conclusions also
inform medical and mental health professionals who work with
transgender clients.

Approach or buzz off: Brain cells in fruit fly
hold secret to individual odor preferences: (06th
October, 2015)
Responding appropriately to the smell of food or the scent of
danger can mean life or death to a fruit fly, and brain circuits are in
place to make sure the fly gets it right. A research team has
identified an important component in these circuits: the point at
which incoming sensory information begins to be transformed into
a signal that instructs a fly's response. The cells, MBONs, distill
nuanced information about an odor into clear instructions:
approach or flee.

KNOWLEDGE BASED ARTICLE
Dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral. Dengue virus is transmitted by
female mosquitoes mainly of the species Aedes aegypti and, to a lesser
extent, A. albopictus. The disease is widespread throughout the
tropics, with local variations in risk influenced by rainfall,
temperature and unplanned rapid urbanization.
Severe dengue (also known as Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever) was
first recognized in the 1950s during dengue epidemics in the
Philippines and Thailand. Now a days, severe dengue affects most
Asian and Latin American countries and has become a leading
cause of hospitalization and death among children in these regions.
There are 4 distinct, but closely related, serotypes of the virus that
cause dengue (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4). Recovery from
infection by one provides lifelong immunity against that particular
serotype. However, cross-immunity to the other serotypes after
recovery is only partial and temporary. Subsequent infections by
other serotypes increase the risk of developing severe dengue.
Transmission
The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the primary vector of dengue. The
virus is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female
mosquitoes. After virus incubation for 4–10 days, an infected
mosquito is capable of transmitting the virus for the rest of its life.
Infected humans are the main carriers and multipliers of the virus,
serving as a source of the virus for uninfected mosquitoes. Patients
who are already infected with the dengue virus can transmit the
infection (for 4–5 days; maximum 12) via Aedes mosquitoes after
their first symptoms appear.
The Aedes aegypti mosquito lives in urban habitats and breeds
mostly in man-made containers. Unlike other mosquitoes Ae.
aegypti is a day-time feeder; its peak biting periods are early in the
morning and in the evening before dusk. Female Ae. aegyptibites
multiple people during each feeding period.

Aedes albopictus, a secondary dengue vector in Asia, has spread to
North America and Europe largely due to the international trade in
used tyres (a breeding habitat) and other goods (e.g. lucky
bamboo). Ae. albopictus is highly adaptive and, therefore, can survive
in cooler temperate regions of Europe. Its spread is due to its
tolerance to temperatures below freezing, hibernation, and ability
to shelter in microhabitats.
Characteristics
Dengue fever is a severe, flu-like illness that affects infants, young
children and adults, but seldom causes death.
Dengue should be suspected when a high fever (40°C/104°F) is
accompanied by 2 of the following symptoms: severe headache,
pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pains, nausea, vomiting,
swollen glands or rash. Symptoms usually last for 2–7 days, after
an incubation period of 4–10 days after the bite from an infected
mosquito.
Severe dengue is a potentially deadly complication due to plasma
leaking, fluid accumulation, respiratory distress, severe bleeding,
or organ impairment. Warning signs occur 3–7 days after the first
symptoms in conjunction with a decrease in temperature (below
38°C/100°F) and include: severe abdominal pain, persistent
vomiting, rapid breathing, bleeding gums, fatigue, restlessness and
blood in vomit. The next 24–48 hours of the critical stage can be
lethal; proper medical care is needed to avoid complications and
risk of death.
Treatment
There is no specific treatment for dengue fever.
For severe dengue, medical care by physicians and nurses
experienced with the effects and progression of the disease can
save lives – decreasing mortality rates from more than 20% to less
than 1%. Maintenance of the patient's body fluid volume is critical
to severe dengue care.
Immunization
There is no vaccine to protect against dengue. However, major
progress has been made in developing a vaccine against

dengue/severe dengue. Three tetravalent live-attenuated vaccines
are under development in phase II and phase III clinical trials, and
3 other vaccine candidates (based on subunit, DNA and purified
inactivated virus platforms) are at earlier stages of clinical
development. WHO provides technical advice and guidance to
countries and private partners to support vaccine research and
evaluation.
Prevention and control
At present, the only method to control or prevent the transmission
of dengue virus is to combat vector mosquitoes through:
preventing mosquitoes from accessing egg-laying habitats by
environmental management and modification;
disposing of solid waste properly and removing artificial manmade habitats;
covering, emptying and cleaning of domestic water storage
containers on a weekly basis;
applying appropriate insecticides to water storage outdoor
containers;
using of personal household protection such as window screens,
long-sleeved clothes, insecticide treated materials, coils and
vaporizers;
improving community participation and mobilization for
sustained vector control;
applying insecticides as space spraying during outbreaks as one of
the emergency vector-control measures;
active monitoring and surveillance of vectors should be carried out
to determine effectiveness of control interventions.
