AN ANOTHER InFlUeNzA- swine

On April 26, the Acting Secretary of HHS declared a public health emergency related to the current outbreak of "swine flu" (now designated "novel 2009 H1N1"). In response to this public health emergency, the CDC requested Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the use of Tamiflu and Relenza for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza for broader populations than are currently included in the product labeling, including pediatric populations, and others who fall outside of the indicated uses.

Influenza viruses cause serious, sometimes fatal, disease in immunocompromised patients, including HIV infected infants, toddlers, and young children.

Currently, Relenza is approved to treat acute uncomplicated illnesses due to influenza in adults and children 7 years and older who have been symptomatic for less than two days, and for the prevention of influenza in adults and children 5 years and older. Tamiflu is approved for the treatment and prevention of influenza in patients 1 year and older.

The EUAs allow for Tamiflu also to be used to treat and prevent influenza in children under 1 year, and to provide alternative dosing recommendations for children older than 1 year. In addition, under the EUAs, both medications may be distributed to large segments of the population without complying with the label requirements otherwise applicable to dispensed drugs, and accompanied by written information pertaining to the emergency use. They may also be distributed by a broader range of health care workers, including some public health officials and volunteers, in accordance with applicable state and local laws and/or public health emergency responses.

These temporary extensions of the indication, which will terminate when the emergency no longer exists, are summarized below:
1. Use of Tamiflu for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza in infants <>


The Tamiflu Oral Suspension bottle comes with a dispenser marked for 30, 45, or 60 mg. For children who weigh more than 40 kg (or 88 lbs) or adults who can’t swallow capsules, you will need to measure out a dose of 30 mg plus another dose of 45 mg. For infants less than 1 year old, a different measuring device must be used that will dispense 2 mL (about 25 mg), 1.6 mL (about 20 mg) or 1 mL (12 mg).

Doses for prevention of the novel 2009 H1N1 are the same for each weight group, but doses are administered only once per day rather than twice. Prevention dosages should be taken for 10 days following close contact with an infected person or during a community outbreak.

2. Use of Tamiflu and Relenza in patients not included in the current labeling. These drugs are currently indicated for use in patients with acute, uncomplicated influenza who have had symptoms for <>
More detailed information about Influenza Antiviral Drugs is available on the FDA web site at http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/antivirals/influenza/default.htm

The TAMIFLU® FACT SHEET FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS contains information specific to the expanded pediatric dosing recommendations for Tamiflu.

NOTE: 75mg once daily for 10 days is the prophylactic dose of Tamiflu, for adults,recommended by USFDA for Swine flu.

World Intellectual Property Day 2009 – Green Innovation

Human activity, including decades of technological development, has damaged our planet. Wide-spread pollution and spiraling consumption of the world’s mineral and biological reserves have put unprecedented stress on the environment. Climate change is one of the greatest threats ever faced by society: glaciers are disappearing; desertification is increasing; in Africa alone, between 75 and 250 million people will face increased water shortages by 2020.

As human activity caused the problem, so too can human activity find the solutions.

Green innovation – the development and diffusion of technological means to tackle climate change – is key to halting the depletion of the earth’s resources. New plant varieties are being developed to withstand drought and flooding. New environmentally friendly materials will help us construct a more sustainable world.

On World IP Day 2009, the World Intellectual Property Organization highlights the contribution of a balanced intellectual property system to stimulating the creation, diffusion and application of clean technologies; to promoting green design, aimed at creating products that are eco-friendly from conception to disposal; to green branding, helping consumers make informed choices and giving companies a competitive edge.

The power of human ingenuity is our best hope for restoring the delicate balance between ourselves and our environment. It is our greatest asset in finding solutions to this global challenge, enabling us to move forward from the carbon-based, grey technologies of the past to the carbon-neutral, green innovation of the future.

Jai Sri Raamm.m.m.m...... - Kalyanotsavam

Rame Raame Manorame

Raama Naama Varaanane

Bhuyo Bhuyo Namaamyaham

Rama Navami occurs in the months of March and April. On Chaitra Sukla Navami (the ninth day of the bright half of Chaitra) 'Sree Ramanavami' is celebrated.
Sri Rama Navami occurs at the beginning of summer when the sun has started moving nearer to the northern hemisphere. The Sun is considered to be the progenitor of Rama's dynasty which is called the Sun dynasty. This dynasty is famous for great kings like King Dileep, King Raghu and many others.

Sree Rama was born on this day and years later on the same day Rama married Sita. 'Sree Sitarama Kalyana Mahotsav' (wedding) is performed in the abode Sitarama Temple, Bhadrachalam, Khammam District, Andhra Pradesh with great tradition and Bhakti.

Kalyanotsavam (marriage celebration) with small murtis of Rama and Sita in their houses, and at the end of the day the deity is taken to a procession on the streets. This day also marks the end of the nine-day utsavam called Chaitra Navaratri (Maharashtra) or Vasanthothsava (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu) (festival of Spring), which starts with Gudi Padwa (Maharashtra)
Hindus are supposed to fast, or restrict themselves to a specific diet. Temples are decorated and readings of the Ramayana take place.

The important celebrations on this day take place at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, Bhadrachalam in Andhra Pradesh and Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu, thronged by thousands of devotees, and Rathayatras, the chariot processions, also known as Shobha yatras of Rama, his wife Sita, brother Lakshmana and devotee Hanuman, are taken out at several places

Highlights of this day
Kalyanam - a ceremonial wedding performed by temple priests
Panakam - a sweet drink prepared on this day with jaggery and pepper.
Procession of murtis in the evening - accompanied by playing with water and colours

The story of Rama is not that of a single towering personality dwarfing all others. The other characters like Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata and Hanuman too shine in their own greatness. All of them are so closely interwoven with Sri Rama's life and achievements that it is well-nigh impossible to think of any one without the other. Sri Rama Pattabhisheka includes Sita, Hanuman and all his brothers.

Supreme KNOWLEDGE & Skilled PERSONALITY

This can be an inspiration to number of Librarians, important sloka from Gita.

Yatra yoegeswara Krishno Yatra Partho
Dhanurdharaha,
Tatra Srirvijayor bhuthi
Dhruva neetirmatiramama

Means – Where ever there are Lord Krishna the supreme knowledge, and Arjuna- the most skilled personality, Victory is bound to be there.

Krishna is and embodiment of knowledge (Jnana) and Arjuna is symbol of skill. Hence wherever there is knowledge, and skill, success is inevitable.

Any Librarian is supposed to be a knowledgeable person and Users are the representatives of skills. If knowledge is there, success of running library just will follow. Once the knowledgeable Librarian is supplemented by skillful group of co-staff, success is bound to be there with any library organization.

What philosophy says in Gita?

Karmanyeva Adhikaraste
Maphaleshu Kadhachana,
Makarma phalaheturbu,
Mate sangostya Karmani..

Means – One has the right for the prescribed activity but never for the result. One should never be motivated by the results of actions nor should there be any attachment in the activities. In other words, all living entities have the right to perform actions but none have the right to claim the results. An aspirant of the higher target must know that to hanker or yearn for reward for one’s actions will only lead to emotional attachment but not in actual achievement.
