Cybersecurity in the Cloud: Safer Than You ThinkAppian
Listen to our podcast on cybersecurity in the cloud: https://ap.pn/2K0dQhS
The explosion of cloud computing has connected more people than anyone ever imagined. But the massive numbers of companies migrating to the cloud has also amplified the urgency of data security and regulatory compliance as well.
The skeptics get snagged on lingering assumptions that cloud technology is insecure. But it’s hard to be skeptical when the best cloud vendors may be more expert at cybersecurity than many inhouse IT administrators.
Perhaps the trust gap is perpetuated by the numerous data breach horror stories that litter the Web. But don’t let the cyber smash and grab headlines stop you from giving cloud the benefit of the doubt.

Hirschvogel Inc: IBM Sterling B2B Integration Services Case StudyLightwell
In 2007, Hirschvogel Inc. manually processed data to and from their ERP system, which was quite labor intensive. Therefore, when their parent company asked them to migrate to SAP as part of a global strategy, they were glad to participate. As part of that initiative, Hirschvogel Inc. needed translation services between EDI X.12 documents and SAP IDocs to enable automatic processing of e-commerce with their U.S. customers.
Hirschvogel Inc. had two options: the parent company could invest in additional in-house resources to manage and support B2B integration of multiple automotive standards and protocols or outsource the process to a trusted partner. Indeed, Hirschvogel Inc. wanted to implement the most cost-effective option to reduce total cost of ownership of B2B collaboration.
Coca Cola Bottling: IBM Sterling B2B Integrator Case StudyLightwell
Manual searches and information delays were creating operational bottlenecks and business inefficiencies for Coca Cola. CCBCC’s business was running on a multitude of different technologies. Manual searches and information delays were creating operational bottlenecks and business inefficiencies. CCBCC would manually enter the equipment services work order into their legacy system when work orders arrived via phone or fax from their customers. This process was time consuming and open to error, and so CCBCC began to question the potential cost of these errors. CCBCC needed to quickly accept and return information electronically without error and focus on software replacement as a means to improve cross-application and system integration. They needed a flexible and robust system to integrate internally with SAP as well as other existing systems.
Manual data processing made Bonnie vulnerable to human errors and long delays. To improve customer service, they needed a solution for increasing operational ef ciency and providing better visibility into internal business processes and external trading partners. IBM® Sterling B2B Integration Services enables Bonnie Plants to grow and operate more efficiently.
Protecting Margins and Creating Value in TelecomLightwell
In 2010, Communications, Media, and Entertainment (CME) businesses are becoming more confident in their revenue potential with most companies feeling the recession is behind them or nearly halfway over. To prepare for spending growth, many CME businesses plan to increase their focus on sales strategies with a keen focus on improving customer collaboration as a top priority.
However, improving customer collaboration, especially in business-to- business (B2B) selling and order scenarios, is difficult to achieve due to product portfolio and selling/ordering process complexity. Within the CME marketplace, companies are offering customers a rich array of options including products and services via multiple channels. This is good news for customers, who demand freedom of choice and ease of use. But it makes selling and order management a complex task for CME companies, which are looking to optimise these processes to increase sales performance.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health
Exploring ways to reduce overall use of antimicrobials
Using the drugs that prevent and treat disease by killing microscopic organisms in a responsible way
GOAL
to prevent the generation and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Doing so will preserve the effectiveness of these drugs in animals and humans for years to come.
being to preserve human and animal health and the effectiveness of antimicrobial medications.
to implement a multidisciplinary approach in assembling a stewardship team to include an infectious disease physician, a clinical pharmacist with infectious diseases training, infection preventionist, and a close collaboration with the staff in the clinical microbiology laboratory

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
