This document discusses the overdiagnosis of ADHD in children. Research from Michigan State University found that up to 22% of the 4.5 million children diagnosed with ADHD may have been misdiagnosed. Young age is a major factor, as 5-year-olds commonly display hyperactive and inattentive behaviors typical of ADHD diagnoses. Boys are also twice as likely to receive an ADHD diagnosis as girls and more prone to false diagnoses. False ADHD diagnoses can lead to unnecessary medication prescriptions that pose risks. The document recommends getting a reevaluation if diagnosed as a child or waiting until older to see if behaviors change before pursuing an ADHD diagnosis.

BUS 271 Katherine Howell-- Social Media Affects on Body Image
Teenagers spend an average of 2 hours and 24 minutes per day on social media where they are constantly exposed to unrealistic beauty standards that emphasize thinness and can promote disordered eating. Exposure to these distorted images through social media can lead to body dissatisfaction in 87% of women who compare their appearance to curated photos on social media, and 78% feel unsatisfied with their looks as a result. Nearly 60% of college-aged women feel pressure to attain a certain weight from social media influences. Understanding that social media often features edited and fake portrayals can help prevent negative impacts on body image.

This document discusses the potential for biogas energy from palm oil mill effluent. It notes that a typical palm oil mill produces 340 tons of fresh fruit bunches per hour which generates 1,500 cubic meters of effluent daily.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
