Importance of partition coefficient, solubility and dissociation on pre-formu...SHANE_LOBO145
This document discusses the importance of preformulation studies, specifically focusing on partition coefficient, dissociation constant, and solubility. It defines these key terms and explains their significance in determining drug absorption and developing drug formulations. The partition coefficient indicates a drug's lipophilicity and ability to cross cell membranes. The dissociation constant and Henderson-Hasselbalch equation are used to predict drug ionization and site of absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Solubility is critical for bioavailability and influences formulation strategies to increase or decrease a drug's aqueous solubility. Understanding these physicochemical properties is essential for designing an optimal drug delivery system.
AUTOMATIC FIRE ALARM using IR LED and BUZZERShihab Hasnine
This document describes an automatic fire alarm circuit using an IR LED and buzzer. The key components are an IR LED, which transmits infrared radiation, a buzzer to sound the alarm, and a 9V battery. When the IR path is obstructed, such as by smoke in a fire, the buzzer will sound to alert of the potential fire. The circuit works by having the IR LED on one side of a door frame and an IR sensor on the other - under normal conditions the sensor receives the IR radiation, but if the path is blocked the buzzer will activate the alarm.

This document discusses self-care for patients with long-term conditions. It notes that over 15 million people in England live with at least one long-term condition, accounting for most NHS spending. Self-care is defined as individuals taking responsibility for their own health and well-being with support from healthcare professionals. This includes maintaining health, meeting needs, preventing illness, and managing conditions. Supported self-care can improve health outcomes, patient satisfaction, and empower patients to take more control.
The document discusses lessons from the United States on caring for patients with chronic illnesses. It outlines three key functions of primary care teams: panel management to ensure patients receive evidence-based care, health coaching to support behavior change and medication adherence, and complex care management for high-needs patients. High-functioning teams with roles like registry use, panel managers, and health coaches are shown to improve health outcomes and lower costs compared to usual individual physician care.

This document discusses enhanced recovery care pathways in the NHS. It begins by defining enhanced recovery as a process aimed at continuously improving care across the entire patient journey, with a focus on shared decision making between patients and healthcare providers. It then provides examples of key components of enhanced recovery pathways, such as pre-operative optimization of patient health, minimization of post-operative disabilities through early mobilization and reduced pain medication, and effective communication during care transitions. The document also summarizes the progression of enhanced recovery since its inception, highlights improved patient outcomes including reduced length of hospital stay and readmission rates in areas where enhanced recovery has been implemented, and sets ambitious targets for further expansion of enhanced recovery principles to additional procedures and care settings.
This document outlines steps for effective breast cancer navigation using the nursing process theory. It discusses the role of a navigator, identifying barriers patients face, and developing strategies to address them. A case study example illustrates how to assess an elderly patient's physical, emotional, support system, knowledge, financial, and healthcare barriers. Attendees then brainstormed ways for navigators to reduce different barriers. The presentation emphasizes that navigators cannot work alone and need a multidisciplinary team including non-clinical navigators, financial counselors, dietitians, and social workers to best support patients.

The document describes the establishment of a Community of Practice (CoP) between Dementia UK and Hospice UK to improve end of life care for those with dementia. Over 700,000 people in England live with dementia, yet they often receive poor end of life care and are more likely to die in hospitals than hospices. The inaugural CoP meeting used a prioritization technique to identify key issues: communication, pain management, care across settings, educating staff, and influencing local policy. Since then, the CoP has grown to 180 members, published articles, and plans further knowledge sharing activities and evaluation to improve dementia end of life care.
This document discusses issues with the NHS continuing healthcare (NHS CHC) system in England. It evaluates several areas of concern, including lack of information provided to applicants, professionals conducting assessments who often have little knowledge of conditions, flaws in the decision-making tool, long delays in the application process, inconsistent decisions, and negative impacts of frequent reassessments.

The document summarizes a training session provided by a librarian to a haemodialysis patient involved in a systematic review. The librarian taught the patient critical appraisal skills to evaluate randomized control trials and assess the systematic review. This would allow the patient to provide meaningful input on whether the review's findings and interpretations accurately reflected his personal experiences. The goals were to enhance the patient's health literacy and involvement in research. The patient found the session beneficial, gaining confidence to critically evaluate research and better understand his treatment.

The South of England Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) Programme welcomed EIP Peer Workers and Carer Peer Support Workers to the third forum with guest speakers Nev Jones who shared some insights on how peer support is developing in the USA and some of the challenges, which appear to be similar to those we face in the UK.
This document provides information and resources to support self-management of long-term conditions in Scotland. It discusses 10 approaches to improving self-management, including empowering people to have more control over their care, promoting better mental health and wellbeing, enabling better access to information and support, developing care plans, supporting medication management, using telehealth, supporting carers, commissioning self-management resources, using patient records, and training staff. For each approach, examples of relevant projects and contacts for additional information are provided. The overall aim is to enhance patient outcomes and experiences by promoting self-management.
The document provides guidance on identifying patients who are approaching the end of life. It outlines general indicators like deteriorating health and weight loss. It emphasizes the importance of early identification so patients can access appropriate end of life care and support. Only 25% of patients who die have end of life plans in place, so identifying patients earlier allows for conversations about preferences and advanced care planning.

The psychological impact of living with and beyond cancer - reportAlex King
Earlier diagnosis and advances in treatment mean that more people are living with and beyond cancer,1 with approximately half of those diagnosed today living for ten years or more.2 Alongside positive clinical outcomes is the need to identify the key psychological challenges faced by individuals experiencing longterm cancer survival, and whether current provision of psychological support and services meet the needs of this relatively new group of patients. It is important to note that the psychological challenges faced during long-term survivorship are often not independent of those experienced at other points in a patient’s journey, including diagnosis, during or at completion of treatment, remission or at no evidence of disease (NED). As such, a broader view is necessary to ensure that psychological challenges faced in long-term survivorship are not addressed in isolation and individual impact is acknowledged.
Many European countries include referral pathways to psychological support in cancer care guidelines however, this is not always the case in the UK. For example, lung cancer guidelines do not include psychological assessment, referral pathways to psychological support or mention psychological burden.3 Existing guidance relating to the supportive and palliative care for adults with cancer was published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2004.4 Since then, the cancer treatment landscape has seen significant advances with earlier diagnosis and improved survival rates alongside changes within the wider environment including the advent of social media and other digital resources.
The ‘Psychological Support for Patients Living with Cancer - Patient Workshop’ aimed to identify the uniting, unmet psychological needs of people living with and beyond cancer. The workshop found the following key themes: • Prioritising quality of life (QoL) • Challenge of re-introduction to the community following treatment • The impact of cancer on families and carers
When addressing the provision of psychological support and ways in which current services could be improved, the following areas were discussed: • Integrating psychological support into the treatment pathway • Improving timing and communication • Securing timely support • Acknowledging differences • Getting support for families and carers
The wider environment, existing initiatives and the resulting workshop learnings will help inform MSD’s wider understanding of this topic and help to shape future planning regarding MSD’s contribution to support the psychological well-being of patients living with and beyond cancer.
The document summarizes a self-management group at Caswell Clinic, a forensic medium secure unit in South Wales. The group aims to empower patients to be more involved in their care and treatment planning by teaching them skills over 8 weekly sessions using a workbook. Feedback from patients who have completed the course suggests they feel more involved in the planning process and better understand their care plans. Future plans include continuing evaluation of the group and adapting materials based on feedback, as well as implementing similar groups in other mental health services.
Mental Health First Aid England aims to improve the nation's mental health literacy through training one in ten adults. Studies show only 20% of the population has high mental well-being and mental illness accounts for a large disease burden. MHFA training significantly improves confidence and knowledge in supporting others with mental health problems. Evaluations found over 95% of trainees rated the course structure, content, and overall experience positively. MHFA England works to advance public health priorities by focusing on prevention, early intervention, and recovery for conditions like anxiety, depression and more.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

2. Expert Patient Programme This month’s speaker was Caroline Powell from the ‘Expert Patients’ programme (EPP) run by the NHSspecificallyfor people with long term health conditions. This is a 6 week course that aims to get people to take control of their own health and thus to be in a better position to optimise their own care. This is very much seen to be the future of healthcare in the UK and abroad and is well worth consideringdoing if you have a long term health condition.
3. Was is it for? Caroline opened the meeting by discussing the merits of the Expert Patients Programme, specifically intended for those with long term health problems and proven over 12 years to improve the management of your illness reducing your need for hospital visits reducing stress on yourself and your carers and family.
4. Demonstration of EPP meeting The audience was split into 3 groups, each with its own facilitator and each discussed and suggested answers to the question “What are the main problems caused by living with a long- term condition or caring for someone with a long term condition?”
5. Outcomes Assessment Responses were collected and it was discussed how each point could be addressed in a positive way, and how the Expert Patients Programme could help in each case.
6. Do you want to take an EPP course? We are hoping to initiate a course if we get enough interest (exploring rolling this out nationally over the internet) so please contact me if you are interested at admin@aspergillus.org.uk or 0161 291 5866 Read the full notes of the meeting at http://www.nacpatients.org.uk
