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 t

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 academexcellence and continuous improvement.

I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners asupported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learni

and instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meeti

the needs of all students.

It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order

achieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and looforward 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 looki

forward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken

this direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teacheare committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and pl

the role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.

The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positi

challenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holist

needs of our students.

I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of t

opportunities and meet the challenges with purpose and determination.

HISTORICAL ARTICLE

Hans Christian Oersted (1777 – 1851)Hans Christian Oersted launched a new epoch in science when hediscovered that electricity and magnetism are linked. He showedby experiment that an electric current flowing through a wirecould move a nearby magnet. The discovery of electromagnetismset the stage for the eventual development of our moderntechnology-based world. Oersted also discovered the chemicalcompound piperine and achieved the first isolation of the elementaluminum.Beginnings

Hans Christian Oersted (Ørsted in Danish) was born in the smalltown of Rudkøbing on the island of Langeland, Denmark, onAugust 14, 1777. His father was Soeren Christian Oersted, a

pharmacist, and his mother was Karen Hermandsen.Hans and his younger brother Anders were educated through acombination of home schooling and private tutors – one a Germanwigmaker who, among other things, taught the brothers to speakfluent German. Anders would go on to be Prime Minister ofDenmark.Hans became interested in chemistry at the age of 12 after hestarted helping in his father’s pharmacy. At the age of 16 he passed

the entrance exam for the University of Copenhagen. There hestudied pharmacology, graduating in 1796 at age 19.Three more years of work allowed him to graduate with a Ph.D.Today most awards of Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) are notactually made for researching philosophy, but Hans ChristianOersted’s was. The philosophy in this case was Immanuel Kant’s

01-01-2016

philosophy of nature, which as we’ll see, helped shape the younggraduate’s view of the world.The Science of Hans Christian Oersted

By the year 1800 Oersted had become a pharmacy manager. In this

year a scientific revolution began. Alessandro Volta announceddetails of his battery, opening new scientific horizons for chemistsand physicists to explore. Volta’s battery enabled scientists toproduce a steady flow of electricity for the first time and, happily,the materials needed to build one were easily obtained.Oersted dived into the new science and, in 1801, published ascientific paper describing a new battery he had invented. He alsodescribed a method for calculating the amount of electric current

flowing by measuring the rate of gas production when electricitywas used to split water.Oersted was given funding by the Danish government to furtherhis education in other European countries; he spent the years 1801to 1803 in Germany and France.In Germany he became influenced by the ideas of the philosopherFriedrich Schelling, who believed all of nature was unified. Rathergrandly, Schelling believed scientists should strive to find thetheory underlying all of nature rather than using experiments tostudy isolated parts of nature.In the Germany city of Jena, Oersted met and befriended theGerman physicist Johann Wilhelm Ritter. They shared a commoninterest in electricity. Ritter was also enthusiastic aboutSchelling’s philosophy of an underlying harmony of nature; inparticular he was convinced that electricity and magnetism wereclosely linked.Professor Oersted

After returning from his travels, Oersted was funded by the Danishgovernment to continue his research work. In 1806, aged 29, hebecame a professor of physics at the University of Copenhagen. Hewas an excellent lecturer and students flocked to his classes.Sometimes he lectured for as many as five hours a day – a very

01-01-2016

heavy load. In addition to lecturing he established physics andchemistry laboratories for research and teaching.Discovery of Electromagnetism

Oersted’s famous experiment, showing that electricity and

magnetism are linked, took place during a lecture on April 21, 1820,when Oersted was 42 years old.In this experiment he passed electric current through a wire,which caused a nearby magnetic compass needle to move.Over the next few months Oersted carried out more experiments,discovering that electric current produces a circular magneticeffect around it.Oersted announced his discovery on July 21, 1820, in a paper

consisting of four pages of Latin, which was soon translated intomost of the main European languages. In English Oersted’s paperhad the title Experiments on the Effect of a Current of Electricityon the Magnetic Needle.By September 1820 François Arago was demonstrating theelectromagnetic effect to France’s scientific elite at the FrenchAcademy, which almost immediately led André-Marie Ampèretotake the next great steps in the story of electromagnetism. Just as Volta’s invention of the battery had opened new horizons inphysics and chemistry, Oersted’s discovery of a link betweenelectricity and magnetism unleashed a revolution in physicsleading us into our current digital world.Awards

The British Royal Society awarded Oersted the 1820 CopleyMedal, the greatest prize in science, for his discovery ofelectromagnetism. Previous prize winners included BenjaminFranklinand Alessandro Volta. The French Academy sent Oersted

3000 gold francs.Was Oersted First?

It is sometimes claimed electromagnetism was actually discoveredby Italian jurist (and physics enthusiast) Gian DomenicoRomagnosi.

In 1802 two Italian newspapers carried accounts from Romagnosiof a magnetic needle deflecting near a battery he had built.Today, looking at his method, it is clear Romagnosi’s experimentdid not involve a complete electric circuit, so electric current could

not have flowed. Without current, there can have been noelectromagnetic effect.The needle in Romagnosi’s experiment was probably deflected by abuild-up of static electric charges on the needle; the needle movedas a result of the mutual repulsion of alike electric charges.Oersted’s Chemistry and the Isolation of Aluminum

Although a professor of physics, Oersted, with his pharmacologicalbackground, was drawn to chemistry.

At first he was opposed to Antoine Lavoisier’s concept of using thechemical elements as a means of rationalizing and understandingchemistry. Oersted looked for something more in harmony withthe ‘everything should be governed by a single law of nature’ ideasof Friedrich Schelling.He also sought to anchor chemistry in the ideas of philosopherImmanuel Kant, whose work Oersted had studied enthusiasticallyfor his doctoral thesis. Kant believed matter could be dividedinfinitely (i.e. there were no atoms) and that all matter wasconstructed from two fundamental, opposing forces, which werein equilibrium with one another.For a time this led the young Professor Oersted to promote thefanciful theories of the Hungarian chemist Jakob Joseph Winterl,who believed all of chemistry could be understood by the opposingforces of two (fictitious) substances – Andronia (the principle ofacidity) and Thelycke (the principle of alkalinity). Winterl believedthese substances were more fundamental than the elements.

Thought ExperimentsToday, when we hear the words Thought Experiment, we often thinkof Albert Einstein’sfamous thought experiments which guided himtowards his theories of relativity.A thought experiment consists of asking “what if…?” and thenlogically thinking through the consequences.

Oersted was actually the first person to use the German term madefamous by Einsten: Gedankenexperiment .The Other Famous Hans Christian

Hans Christian Oersted became great friends with the Danishwriter Hans Christian Anderson before the writer became famous.Oersted became a champion for Anderson’s fairy tales, helping toget them published in 1835.Some Personal Details and the End

In 1814 Oersted married Inger Birgitte Ballum, the daughter of apastor, and in the following years the couple had three sons andfour daughters.Hans Christian Oersted died aged 73 on March 9, 1851, in

Copenhagen after a short illness.He was buried in the Assistens Cemetery in the Copenhagensuburb of Noerrebro. This is also the final resting place of thephysicist Niels Bohr, writer Hans Christian Andersen, andphilosopher Soeren Kierkegaard.

Infectious disease spread is fueled by

international trade"The recent Ebola outbreak made us realize that we are all just aplane ride away from exposure to emerging infectious diseases,"says Charles Perrings, an ASU professor of environmentaleconomics. Perrings recently published the paper, "Options forManaging the Infectious Animal and Plant Disease Risks ofInternational Trade," in the early online version of the journal FoodSecurity.The paper reported project results to an international conference"Global Plant Health Risks and Consequences: Linking Science,Economics and Policy," hosted by the British Food andEnvironment Research Agency, and supported by the Organisationfor Economic Cooperation and Development's CooperativeResearch Programme on Biological Resource Management forSustainable Agricultural Systems. Perrings is the principleinvestigator of a project funded by the National ScienceFoundation-National Institutes of Health-U.S. Department of

Agriculture Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases programin collaboration with the UK's Biotechnology and BiologicalSciences Research Council.In the paper, Perrings describes the growth of international tradesince the 1950s and the increasingly tight coupling of developedand developing economies. The paper considers how the globalcommunity currently deals with trade-related infectious diseaserisks of animals and plants, and asks how the system could be

made more effective.An example of the impact of an infectious disease came in 2001 inthe UK when an outbreak of hoof and mouth disease cost some $10billion and more than 2 million sheep and cattle had to bedestroyed, Perrings said. More recently, African swine fever--amuch more serious disease of pigs--has been spread in the


9



01-01-2016

Caucasus region through trade in pork, pork product or throughwaste in trade vehicles."The more trade grows as a proportion of global production, themore likely it is that diseases will be spread through trade, and the

higher the economic cost of resulting trade bans," Perrings said."What is at risk is the food we eat, the fibers we wear and buildwith, and the fuels we burn.""In addition many infectious diseases that affect animals also affectpeople," he added. "Zoonoses like SARS, MERS, HIV AIDS, orhighly pathogenic avian influenza, all originated in wild animalsand were then spread person to person through trade and travel."Perrings said current instruments to control infectious diseases are

far from adequate, as the recent report of the Harvard-LondonSchool of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Independent Panel onthe Global Response to Ebola, published in the Lancet, makes clear."There are two problems to address," he said. "One is that diseasespread is an unintended (external) effect of trade. To solve thisproblem exporters and importers need to be confronted with therisks they impose on consumers.""The other is that the control of infectious disease is a public good--the benefits it offers are freely available to all, and so will beundersupplied if left to the market," he explained. "To solve thisproblem we need to undertake cooperative, collective control ofinfectious diseases at the source."Perrings said options for solving both problems include the use ofpayments for risk reduction in developing countries and thedevelopment of a global fund for infectious disease control.At the moment countries have the right (through the Sanitary andPhytosanitary Agreement) to act in their own defense once a

disease has been introduced. Their options are to control theoutbreak and to reduce the chance of reinfection by banning tradewith risky countries or in risky products. But this cannot stop theemergence of new diseases."The One Health Initiative suggests that what is needed iscooperative collective action to reduce risk at the source," Perrings

said. "This requires a partnership between the rich countries thathave the resources to fund global prevention, and the poorcountries where disease is most likely to emerge.""The management of infectious diseases of animals and plants, like

the management of infectious diseases of people, is now a globalproblem that requires global solutions," Perrings writes. "This inturn requires a more strongly coordinated and cooperativeapproach than is currently allowed under the General Agreementon Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the Sanitary and PhytosanitaryAgreement."

DRUGS UPDATES

FDA Approves Zurampic (lesinurad) to Treat

High Blood Uric Acid Levels Associated with

Gout: (22nd December, 2015)The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Zurampic(lesinurad) to treat high levels of uric acid in the blood(hyperuricemia) associated with gout, when used in combinationwith a xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI), a type of drug approvedto reduce the production of uric acid in the body. Gout is a painfulform of arthritis caused by the buildup of too much uric acid in the

body, and usually appears first as redness, soreness, and swellingin the big toe. Uric acid in the blood is produced by the breakdownof substances called purines, which are found in all the body’stissues. Uric acid usually dissolves in the blood then passesthrough the kidneys and out of the body in urine. Uric acid canbuild up in the blood, a condition called hyperuricemia. Thisoccurs when the body increases the amount of uric acid it makes,the kidneys do not get rid of enough uric acid, or a person eats toomany foods high in purines. Most people with hyperuricemia do

not develop gout, but if uric acid forms crystals in the body, goutcan develop. Read more
