Machine Learning In Pharmacotherapeutics

ObbuKavya and P. VeereshBabu
12/1/2023

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that deals with and focuses on algorithms, improving their accuracy through the collection of data, resembling human intelligence. Machine learning has been developed since its inception. It has become a vital resource in human resources as well. Nowadays, machine learning is not only used in technical and engineering fields but also in the medical field. It is employed in healthcare, treatment, drug discovery, and drug development, among other applications. Pharmacotherapeutics pertains to the use of drugs for prevention, treatment, diagnosis, and modification of normal functions. Machine learning has become imperative in the medical field, healthcare, drug discovery, and development. It is used in the development of a drug by creating a lead molecule and determining its effects on the body through technical methods. Machine learning is utilized in diagnostics, such as during EEG, ECG, MRI, CT scans, and many other diagnostic procedures. It is employed in clinical pharmacology where humans are used to measure drug effects. In academic practices for pharmacology subjects, software is used to calculate doses and conduct experiments technically, as it is prohibited to harm animals under PCI guidelines. Machine learning in pharmacotherapeutics plays a significant role in the medical field, aiding in drug discovery, drug development, diagnosis, and disease treatment. It is used in neural networks of artificial intelligence, where input and output act as neurons, contributing to the treatment of various diseases and disorders. In this manner, machine learning holds a distinct and vital role in pharmacotherapeutics.

Tuberculosis

Jadhav Akash B et al.
4/1/2018

Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection, which is the dominant cause of death all over the world. It is the chronic infectious disease caused by the tubercle bacillus. It is regarded as oldest disease. Tuberculosis is the infection occurs by inhaling the droplet nuclei containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis organisms by susceptible person. New methods have been evolved in diagnosing, treatment and prevention. The disease remains as an important public health problem in developing countries. Extra pulmonary TB became more common with the advent of infection with human immunodeficiency virus and by the increase in the number of organ transplantation, which also leads to immunosuppression of thousand of persons. Urogenital TB represents 27% of extrapulmonary cases. Renal involvement in TB can be part of a disseminated infection or a localized genitourinary disease. Renal involvement by TB infection is underdiagnosed in most health care centers. Most patients with renal TB have sterile pyuria, which can be accompanied by microscopic hematuria. The diagnosis of urinary tract TB is based on the finding of pyuria in the absence of common bacterial infection. The first choice drugs include isoniazide, rifampicin, pirazinamide, ethambutol, and streptomycin. Awareness of renal TB is urgently needed by physicians for suspecting this disease in patients with unexplained urinary tract abnormalities, mainly in those with any immunosuppression and those coming from TB-endemic areas.

Examination of Sputum for Detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

Javid Ahmad Bhat and Rajesh Kumar Tenguria
2/1/2015

Tuberculosis is one of the main public health problems worldwide. Nearly one-third of the global population, i.e. two billion people, are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and accordingly at risk of developing the disease. More than nine million people develop active TB every year and about two million die. More than 90% of global TB cases and deaths occur in the developing world, where 75% of cases are in the most economically productive age group (15-54 years). At every outpatient clinic, hospitals and health amenities, together in the public and private sectors, all patients have to to be thoroughly screened for cough by health officers manning the health facilities. In addition, within medical colleges and hospitals, in-patients also need to be screened for detection of TB suspects. People with cough for 2 weeks, or more, with or without extra symptoms indicative of TB, should be punctually recognized as pulmonary TB suspects and steps taken to question them to sputum smear microscopy for acid-fast bacilli, for diagnosis of TB.
