La prevenzione del rischio e l’educazione al benessere e alla salute degli adolescenti rappresentano una delle sfide più difficili ed impegnative degli ultimi anni.
Il passaggio da un approccio finalizzato alla cura della malattia a un approccio bio-psico-sociale centrato sulla promozione della salute ha determinato, soprattutto negli ultimi anni, un crescente interesse per le potenzialità di utilizzo delle life skills negli interventi educativi con gli adolescenti.
Partendo da tali considerazioni si è deciso di presentare un’esperienza pilota ispirata al Programma Life Skills dell’OMS (1994) e realizzata in una scuola secondaria di primo grado della provincia di Pescara.
L’elaborato rappresenta una relazione critica dell’intervento realizzato e, in quanto tale, si pone tre obiettivi: sottolineare il ruolo delle life skills nella promozione della salute e del benessere secondo le principali impostazioni teoriche di riferimento; analizzare le metodologie utilizzate in relazione alle indicazioni fornite dall’OMS per l’attuazione di programmi Life Skills; e, infine, valutare criticamente i risultati conseguiti alla luce di osservazioni personali e della letteratura esaminata.
Ispirandosi a un modello di tipo olistico, interazionista e costruttivista ed a una concezione “agentica” di sviluppo, si è deciso di valutare gli effetti dell’intervento non solo sui singoli destinatari, ma anche e soprattutto sul contesto di sviluppo, al fine di individuare possibili correlazioni tra l’attuazione di promozione delle competenze psicosociali ed eventuali miglioramenti del clima relazionale del gruppo-classe.

- The care manager could suggest starting with small, gradual changes that are more sustainable, like taking a 30-minute walk 3 times a week and cutting back on added sugars rather than eliminating them completely.
- Setting incremental, achievable goals will help the client experience success and build confidence in their ability to improve their health long-term. The care manager should emphasize progress over perfection.

The Nursing Process is a framework that helps organize and deliver nursing care through five main steps: assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. It provides an orderly and systematic method for planning and providing care, enhances nursing efficiency, and increases care quality. During the assessment step, nurses gather both subjective and objective data on the client's health history, current status, and potential problems through various sources like interviews, examinations, and record reviews. This comprehensive data collection helps identify client needs and priorities to guide the development of the subsequent nursing diagnosis and care plan.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

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.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
