179th Question explanation

Zero order kinetics is a way of describing how the body uses and breaks down some medicines. While the rate at which the body eliminates most drugs is proportional to the concentration administered, known as first order kinetics, drugs that work by zero order kinetics work at a predictable, constant rate


List of drugs following zero-order kinetics
• Phenytoin, Phenylbutazone.
• Warfarin.
• Heparin.
• Ethanol.
• Aspirin & other salicylates.
• Theophylline, Tolbutamide.
• Salicylates.

175th Question explanation 👇

Patients were previously treated for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) for 10–14 days, but studies have suggested that a 5-day course is sufficient for otherwise uncomplicated CAP. Longer cases may be required for patients with bacteremia or virulent pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Decreased duration of antibiotic therapy leads to decreased antibiotic resistance and decreased likelihood of adverse effects.

Update on the Supreme Court Case - Was Expected to be taken up today (26th Nov)
Ishika Jain vs National Board of Examination (WP 583/2024)

1) The case was not taken up for arguments today. The petitioners' arguing counsel was not available due to personal difficulties and they requested for a short adjournment.
2) The petitioners had requested the case of 2024 (Ishika Jain vs NBE) to be taken up as the primary case as the other cases were w.r.t previous years' answer papers - basically meaning - in the next hearing the 2024 challenges (normalization) would be taken up first
3) Posted for next week - could be on 3rd Dec
