The PEPPOL project aims to establish common standards for electronic data exchange in public procurement processes across the European Union. Currently, governments are lagging behind major industries in their ability to conduct electronic exchanges with suppliers. The PEPPOL project will develop and pilot interoperable solutions for e-signatures, vendor catalogs, purchase orders, invoices, and payments to enable any EU company, including small- and medium-sized enterprises, to interact electronically with any EU public administration for procurement. It involves 14 beneficiaries from 8 countries and has a budget of €19.6 million over three years.
ePractice: eProcurement Workshop 25 May 2011 - Manuel CañoePractice.eu
The document discusses IT governance for electronic public procurement. The European Commission aims to create a single pan-European public procurement market through interoperability and generalization standards. Individual contracting authorities are responsible for developing their own e-procurement plans, but guidance is needed to avoid failures and ensure plans align with the overall objective. Adopting the ISO/IEC 38500:2008 standard for IT governance can help contracting authorities develop effective plans, reduce costs and implementation times, and support the generalization of e-procurement across Europe.
The document provides summary minutes from the 3rd meeting of the eHealth Network. Key discussions included:
- Agreement to use the set of patient data developed in the epSOS project as the basis for an interoperability guideline.
- Emphasis on ensuring sustainability of eHealth services to qualify for funding from the Connecting Europe Facility.
- Support for establishing a standing coordination group to promote interoperability and help services obtain CEF funding.
- Need for further work on SNOMED CT terminology and patient access to health data before the next meeting in November.
The document summarizes the work of EUnetHTA, a European network for Health Technology Assessment. It discusses EUnetHTA's projects from 2005 to the present, focusing on Joint Action 2 from 2012-2015. Key outputs of EUnetHTA include the HTA Core Model for assessment, pilot assessments, an evidence submission template, and recommendations for sustainable HTA cooperation in Europe. EUnetHTA involves collaboration between HTA organizations across European countries and regions to facilitate efficient use of resources and promote knowledge sharing in HTA methods and processes.

EUnetHTA Training course for Stakeholders - Introduction to the HTA Core Mode...EUnetHTA
The document discusses the HTA Core Model, which is a framework developed by EUnetHTA to standardize and share health technology assessment information. The key goals of the Core Model are to capture the core elements of HTA that can be shared, enable production of structured HTA information, support joint and local HTA production. The Core Model consists of HTA questions/ontology, methodological guidance, and a reporting structure. It provides a standardized way to organize and report HTA information on a health technology.
This document summarizes the work of the EUnetHTA network in developing tools and processes for conducting rapid relative effectiveness assessments of health technologies collaboratively across countries. It describes the HTA Core Model, which provides a standardized framework. It also outlines the process used for the joint rapid assessments conducted by Work Package 5, including assembling multinational authoring teams, developing assessment plans, collecting evidence from manufacturers, and producing summaries. Challenges in applying this process to medical devices are discussed along with some proposed solutions.
The EUnetHTA perspective on the HTA databasePatrice Chalon
Presentation at HTAi Annual meeting 2017, panel session "Rescuing the HTA database – future options and challenges"
A central, international database for HTA reports and other HTA products is considered to be a vital source of information for healthcare researchers and stakeholders. The current HTA database, which contains over 15,000 documents submitted by numerous HTA agencies, was originally established by the International Network of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment (INAHTA) in 2007 and is available on the website of the UK Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD). The database has so far been funded by the UK National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). Its existence is however endangered as future funding is unclear. If no alternative is found, it will no longer be maintained and only an archived version will be available. There would thus no longer be a single access point to HTA reports.
Previous research has indicated that more than 75% of HTA agencies use the HTA database and more than half adapt common HTA products from reports produced by other agencies.1 The lack of an HTA database would have a direct impact on these activities. Smaller HTA agencies would be particularly affected, as they often have insufficient resources to produce their own reports and rely on reports from larger agencies. The wider consequences should also be considered: for instance, the decreasing visibility of HTA reports would diminish their relevance. It may also become more difficult to establish collaborations between HTA agencies. The problem would thus affect the whole HTA community.
Often, however, a crisis also offers opportunities. The establishment of a new HTA database should include a re-evaluation of its structure and technical functions (e.g. inclusion of ongoing projects).
Structure of the session: Short presentations will be held to provide an overview of the different perspectives of the various HTA agencies and networks currently involved in the discussions on the future of the HTA database. The panel will focus on the initiatives to rescue the database and present the options for funding, hosting, structure and technical functions. There will also be a guided discussion on the possible solutions presented and the challenges faced.
Panel/Workshop outcome and objectives: At the end of the session, participants should be aware of the overall importance of the HTA database, the current status quo, and the potential features of a future HTA database.

Building a Community of Practice for people in charge of HTA disseminationPatrice Chalon
Presentation at the 12th Annual Meeting of the HTAi (Oslo, Norway, June 15-17th, 2015).
Background
EUnetHTA, the European network for Health Technology Assessment has for about a decade comprehensively dealt with various HTA production aspects. However, dissemination of the final HTA report was yet to be addressed. In order to identify best practices in this field, a Community of Practice (CoP) was initiated with the aim of bringing together people in charge of HTA dissemination amongst EUnetHTA members.
Objectives
To describe the building process and first results of the EUnetHTA Community of Practice on dissemination.
Methods
The objective of the CoP was defined by a work-team. Potential participants were identified from all EUnetHTA Partners, and as a first step a webinar was organised to present interested participants with the concept and objective of the CoP. Subsequently, a workshop was organised to share knowledge and plan future activities.
Results
44 people from 25 agencies in 18 countries joined the CoP. Of these, 25 participated in the webinar and confirmed the utility of the CoP. The workshop brought together 17 people and resulted in identification of crucial steps in the HTA dissemination process, knowledge exchange about dissemination actions, and main topics of interest to the CoP. A series of Webinars provided by the CoP members themselves has been set up, two webinars has already been conducted, and a third is planned later this year.
Conclusion
The CoP provides a suited format for formally exchanging information about dissemination of HTA reports and establishing best practices together with peers. Best practices identified through the workshop and the webinars will be compiled in a best practice document. Further activities will be planned in the future, including the consideration of stakeholder involvement.
Service provisioning for Excellent Science (Daan Broeder - EUDAT/CLARIN) | Op...EUDAT
EUDAT is a project that started in 2011 to address the increasing costs and complexities of isolated data management solutions. It provides common data services through a federation of compute and data centers to serve a variety of research communities. EUDAT receives funding through Horizon 2020 and involves 37 partners. It offers services for storage, workflows, processing and archiving. While EUDAT engages broadly with communities, gathering requirements is very time-consuming. There are questions around how to be more efficient in requirements gathering and involving specialized organizations to help define services and standards.
The document discusses how the EUPATI academy will engage stakeholders in building a pan-European network. It will (1) create an intellectual pool and dissemination network, (2) optimize communication platforms, and (3) provide expertise and support to EUPATI and beyond. Key stakeholders like patient advocacy groups, academia, industry, and regulators will be invited to join through conferences, workshops, and digital platforms. National EUPATI platforms led by patient organizations, academia, and industry will also be established for outreach.
In his presentation entitled: “R&D&I - Future Prospects”, Mr. Bernard Barani from EC presented the Commission’s proposals for the 2014-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework. He discussed the need for a Common Strategic Framework to increase impact and achieve simplification, while he outlined the objectives and structure of Horizon 2020.
The document summarizes the final report of the Expert Group on e-Invoicing, which was established by the European Commission to propose a European e-Invoicing Framework. [1] The report defines business requirements for widespread adoption of e-invoicing, identifies gaps in the current market, and recommends a framework to address these gaps. [2] The recommendations include harmonizing legal/VAT frameworks, adopting common invoice standards, prioritizing the needs of SMEs, and establishing processes to implement the framework across Europe. [3] The Commission is seeking public consultation on the report's analysis and recommendations by February 2010.
The presentation discusses the experience of Spain with the national catalogue of ICT standards, the legal act which implements it (the National Interoperability Framework), the process and lessons learned about its development, implementation, maintenance and its relationship with the catalogue of services for reuse, with links to the current European context and activities.

The poster summarizes information about the EUnetHTA Planned and Ongoing Projects database. It notes that searches in the database are a standard procedure for 16-20% of partners on average, with similar topics found between partner projects 16-20% of the time. The database is used by over 50% of partners daily or weekly and provides email alerts of new projects. It is managed by various HTA organizations and agencies across Europe.
EUnetHTA Conference 2014 focused on building capacity for cooperation. The conference included an activity station that provided learning strategies such as workshops and e-learning pathways to increase awareness of EUnetHTA tools, methods, and results among partners and stakeholders. Workshops for partners familiarized 36 participants from 33 partners with EUnetHTA methodology, while workshops for stakeholders aimed to increase understanding of HTA processes and stakeholders' roles. E-learning pathways and materials were also developed, including an e-learning module for the POP DB and four webcasts. The learning activities were coordinated by Work Package 2 of EUnetHTA JointAction 2 and involved various partner organizations.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.

Let’s be honest. Maintaining that beautiful smile is not an easy task. It is more than brushing and flossing. Sometimes, you might encounter dental issues that need special dental care. These issues can range anywhere from misalignment of the jaw to pain in the root of teeth.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
