Intelligent Transportation Trends chpt.9 - Prospective and Implications
The term Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) was coined over two decades ago to designate applications of information and communication technologies to the operational management of transportation networks. The main promise of ITS has been very consistent over that period: network capacity can be freed up by optimizing traffic controls and empowering users with accurate travel information.
It can be debated how much faith practitioners and policy makers have placed in technology by investing their resources, as well as the extent to which Intelligent Transportation Systems have delivered on their promise. However, there is no question that steady and sometimes spectacular advances in computing technologies and usage trickle down to transportation applications in important ways. As a result, new products and services emerge continuously. They include systems that address the direct needs of networks managers, as well as others that are developed in tangential markets (e.g. automotive) or even through non-market mechanisms (e.g. many mobile web applications).
This talk presentation reviews major trends in information and communication technologies and demonstrate how each of them is driving innovative transportation services. We attempt to envision how those trends might develop in the future, so that we can finally examine some of their implications for travel demand and network management. There lie both challenges and opportunities for transportation engineers and planners, but either way, profound changes appear inevitable.

Postopkits09
The document summarizes the results of a survey about post-operative eye care kits. It received 89 responses from administrators, nurses, technicians, doctors and students across 27 locations. Most facilities are now incurring costs for acquiring kits where they were previously free. Common kit components included tape, sunglasses, eye shields, steroid drops and artificial tears. Around half of respondents said their facility would provide fewer components due to new costs, but most were not passing costs directly to patients. The majority view was that increased FDA scrutiny requiring the changes would negatively impact patient care.

Immunization summit rota 2010
Rotavirus is a major cause of diarrhea among children under 5 years old in Sri Lanka. Surveillance data from 2005-2010 showed that rotavirus accounted for 20-30% of diarrhea cases. The dominant circulating strains were G3 and G9. It was estimated that rotavirus causes over 5,000 cases and 1,500 deaths per year nationally. Two rotavirus vaccines (Rotarix and RotaTeq) have shown efficacy of 61-96% in other countries against severe rotavirus diarrhea. Introduction of the vaccine in Sri Lanka could prevent over 4,000 cases annually and save $135,000 in treatment costs. Further disease burden and economic studies were recommended to inform the decision on vaccine introduction.

STARSurg Birmingham Journal Club Synopsis
This document summarizes a study that investigated the impact of postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on adverse events after gastrointestinal surgery. The study was a multi-center prospective cohort study involving over 1,500 patients across 109 centers. It found that early use of NSAIDs within the first 3 days after surgery was associated with a 28% reduction in overall complications and 36% reduction in patients receiving high doses, with no increase in anastomotic leaks. The results suggest NSAIDs may safely reduce complications after gastrointestinal surgery.

In this webinar:
In May-June, 2020, the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network (CCSN) commissioned Leger to conduct a national survey to evaluate the impact that COVID-19 has had on cancer patients, survivors, pre-diagnosis patients, and caregivers. The results of our first survey revealed that the pandemic response has triggered another public health crisis - the postponement and cancellation of essential cancer tests, procedures, and treatments.
CCSN commissioned Leger for a second survey in December, 2020 to evaluate the impact that the suspension of cancer services during the first wave is currently having on those who have been affected by cancer.
Join CCSN and Leger as we present the results of the COVID-19 and Cancer Care Disruption in Canada Survey - Wave 2 and hear from members of the cancer community about how the pandemic has directly impacted them.

Variations in the aftercare of facial wounds: a survey of maxillofacial clinicians.
J.S. Smith
British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 58 (2020) 552–557
INTRODUCTION
Traumatic wounds involving anatomical structures in the head and neck have the potential to leave disfiguring scars and to reduce function.
Proper postoperative care helps to prevent infections, and in turn improves healing and functional and cosmetic outcomes.
High-quality aftercare instructions are therefore essential.
Patients who present to accident and emergency departments with traumatic wounds to the skin of the head and neck are generally referred to the local oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) department for assessment and treatment, this constitutes a large proportion of the daily workload of the junior members of the team.
Method
An anonymous Google Sheets TM survey was circulated among members of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) online members’ forum, and the Junior Trainee Group of the BAOMS Facebook TM forum.
The survey included a series of questions on the advice given to patients after the suturing of traumatic facial lacerations.
The questions consisted of yes/no, “radio-box” selections, and free-text boxes.
The survey was left live for 60 days but no further responses were made after 16 days.
Results
Respondents’ grade of training
A total of 63 responses were recorded from all levels of seniority within the maxillofacial training pathway: 18 junior single qualified (either dental core trainee or medical senior house officer), 25 senior single qualified (clinical fellows currently undertaking the second degree or staff grade/associate specialists), three dual-qualified pre registrar grades, nine registrars, and eight consultants.
Do you recommend wounds are kept dry for a period of time?
A total of 14 of the 63 respondents did not recommend keeping wounds dry in the initial healing period.
Twelve recommended that wounds were kept dry for 24 hours.
Over half(32/63) recommended that they were kept dry for 48 hours, and five that they were kept dry for more than 48 hours
Do you routinely prescribe a topical barrier ointment?
Regarding the provision of topical barrier ointment for patients to apply to the suture line, 40 of the 63 respondents would prescribe chloramphenicol.
Three other responses included the routine use of Neosporin®triple ointment(Johnson and Johnson), Polyfax®(PLIVA) or bacitracin (categorized as “Other”).
Fifteen respondents did not prescribe a topical barrier ointment
When do you recommend removal of non-resorbable sutures?
Respondents varied in the amount of time they allowed before sutures were removed, and some said that it depended on the situation.
Variables that might affect the timing were tension in the wound, depth, location on the face, age of the patient, and type of wound.
The standard time frames recommended for removal were five days (n = 24), between five and seven

CLASS APTAR PRESENTATION
This document summarizes a research study on the perception and attitude of physicians, retailers, and patients toward metered spray systems for skin diseases compared to conventional medication. Key findings from interviews with 210 participants including 70 physicians, 70 retailers, and 70 patients are: 1) Fungal infections and skin allergies are the most common skin problems, and many patients experience discomfort with existing medications. 2) Physicians and retailers view spray systems as more effective and safer than conventional options. However, spray systems are under-prescribed and under-purchased due to low patient affordability and awareness. 3) To increase adoption, recommendations include awareness campaigns, more affordable pricing, and improved packaging/labeling of spray systems.

Pharmacoepidemiology
Pharmacoepidemiology involves applying epidemiological methods to study drug use and effects in large populations. It is primarily concerned with post-marketing drug safety surveillance but also analyzes patterns of drug use and assesses effectiveness. Pharmacoepidemiological studies use large healthcare databases and are important for identifying adverse drug reactions, determining risk factors, and improving appropriate medication use. Common study designs include cohort studies, case-control studies, and randomized controlled trials. Pharmacoepidemiology plays a key role in drug regulation, marketing, clinical practice, and public health policy.

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.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
