The guidelines also indicate that H1N1 transmission between humans is now well-established and provide criteria for referring patients for testing and details on specimen collection.
Swine Flu 2017
Swine flu is caused by the H1N1 influenza virus. It spreads through coughing, sneezing or touching contaminated surfaces. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, cough, body aches, and fatigue. High risk groups include young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with pre-existing medical conditions. Tamiflu is the recommended treatment. Prevention involves covering coughs and sneezes, frequent hand washing, avoiding touching the face, and distancing from infected individuals.
H1 N1 Presentation
This document provides information about H1N1 influenza, including how it is transmitted between people, who is most at risk, symptoms, prevention, and guidance for workplaces and supervisors. H1N1 can be transmitted through respiratory droplets from coughs or sneezes and touching contaminated surfaces. Those most at risk include pregnant women and people with underlying health conditions. Prevention focuses on good hygiene like handwashing and staying home when sick. Workplace guidance includes cleaning surfaces, avoiding contact with sick coworkers, and allowing employees to stay home until symptoms resolve.
NoroFlu slides (1).pptx
This document discusses the differences between influenza ("the flu") and norovirus ("stomach flu"). Influenza is a respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, with common symptoms like fever, cough and body aches. Norovirus causes acute gastroenteritis or "stomach flu" and is the most common cause of foodborne illness outbreaks. While both can spread easily in closed settings like healthcare facilities, influenza is primarily transmitted through droplets while norovirus spreads through direct contact or ingestion of contaminated surfaces or food. Testing, treatment, and infection control procedures are described for managing cases and outbreaks of each in healthcare settings.
Lecture+Influenza+A+ H1 N1
1) Influenza A (H1N1) is a novel virus that is a combination of genetic material from pigs, birds, and humans. It can be transmitted between humans through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing.
2) The Philippines government has implemented several measures in response, including enhanced surveillance, stockpiling antiviral drugs and protective equipment, and establishing treatment centers.
3) Ongoing efforts include coordinating the national pandemic response plan, risk communication strategies, and further preparation as the virus spreads globally.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
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.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

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.

Editor's Notes
- Public health clinics that rely on state-supplied seasonal flu vaccine should schedule seasonal flu clinics in early October because we expect seasonal flu vaccine to arrive in multiple shipments from August through October. The first doses of state-supplied seasonal flu vaccine will go to pediatric care providers so they can start vaccinating the youngest kids, who may need 2 doses of seasonal flu vaccine.
- Pregnant women and their newborns at risk for complications from seasonal and H1n1 influenza. Pregnant women, in any trimester, and their household contacts should be vaccinated as soon as vaccine is available. Infants <6 months of age cannot be vaccinated and so need a cocoon of vaccinated household ( HH ) contacts around them. Emergency medcial services ( EMS ) = certified EMTs and paramedics. Discussions on-going regarding non-certified fire and police. HR = high risk for complications from influenza. Same for seasonal and H1N1, except for people > 65 (only for seasonal flu) and healthy people 19 – 24 years old (only or H1N1 Flu) . HR conditions H1N1 flu include: Chronic pulmonary (including asthma), cardiovascular (except hypertension), renal, hepatic, cognitive, neurologic/neuromuscular, hematological or metabolic disorders (including diabetes mellitus); Immunosuppression (including immunosuppression caused by medications or by human immunodeficiency virus); Children < 18 are receiving long-term aspirin therapy and therefore might be at risk for experiencing Reye syndrome after influenza virus infection; Pregnancy
- Remember – Goal is to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible. Give vaccinees H1N1 vaccine card (comes with vaccine) to remind them about 2 nd dose. CDC and MDPH public information campaigns will stress importance of 2 nd dose . H1N1 vaccine supply expect to increase quickly over time and there will be vaccine available for 2 nd doses No need to verify target groups – CDC and state public information campaigns will stress rationale for target groups. After making sure folks know what the target groups are for your clinic, it will be much more efficient to vaccinate everyone who stays and claims a HR condition, then to argue with them. No doctor’s notes – PLEASE. Provider offices will not have time to be taking calls and writing notes. Seasonal, H1N1 and pneumococcal vaccine can all be given at the same time. It’s up to the provider. (Stress this is what we expect – info could change after clinical trials.
