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.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendaçþes da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS â Objetivos do Desenvolvimento SustentĂĄvel e a EstratĂŠgia Global para a SaĂşde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pĂłs-natais devem expandir-se para alĂŠm da cobertura e da simples sobrevivĂŞncia, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pĂłs-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados Ă s mulheres e aos recĂŠm-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saĂşde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma âexperiĂŞncia pĂłs-natal positivaâ ĂŠ um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dĂŁo Ă luz e para os seus recĂŠm-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saĂşde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiĂŞncia pĂłs-natal positiva ĂŠ definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recĂŠm-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famĂlias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saĂşde motivados; e onde um sistema de saĂşde flexĂvel e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebĂŞs e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendaçþes novas e jĂĄ bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pĂłs-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pĂłs-parto em unidades de saĂşde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponĂveis.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Cholera
- 1. CHOLERA
- 2. INDEX 1) Introduction 2) Definition 3) Signs and Symptoms 4) Why do we still get Cholera cases 5) Prevention 6) Nursing Care 7) Prevalance 8) Conclusion 9) Sources
- 3. INTRODUCTION ⢠Although most cholera infections are not detected, large cholera outbreaks, such as those seen in Haiti, Viet Nam and Zimbabwe in recent years, can occur. ⢠Cholera was one of three diseases requiring notification to the WHO in the 1969 and International Health Regulations (IHR), and today, after the 2005 revision of the IHR, cholera outbreaks still require notification. ⢠It remains incomplete because of inadequate laboratory and surveillance systems and economic, social and political disadvantage to case reporting. WHO estimates that the officially reported cases represent only 5â10% of the actual number occurring annually worldwide.
- 6. DEFINITION ⢠1. An acute infectious disease of the small intestine, caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae and characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, muscle cramps, severe dehydration, and depletion of electrolytes. ⢠2. Any of various diseases of domesticated animals, such as chickens, turkeys, or hogs, marked by severe gastroenteritis.
- 7. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Early symptoms include: ⢠Muscle cramps ⢠Profuse, watery diarrhoea that is typically painless. Stools are described as having a ârice-waterâ appearance. ⢠Vomiting
- 9. Later symptoms of cholera ⢠As dehydration progresses, further symptoms may develop as a result of fluid loss including: ⢠Cold or cool skin ⢠Dry skin and mucous membranes (such as dry mouth) ⢠Excessive thirst ⢠Loss of skin elasticity ⢠Muscle cramps and weakness ⢠Reduced urine output ⢠Sunken eyes ⢠Weak pulse
- 10. ⢠In some cases, dehydration resulting from cholera infection is so severe that a life-threatening situation may develop within hours. ⢠Change in level of consciousness or alertness. ⢠Change in mental status, such as confusion, delirium, lethargy, hallucinations and delusions ⢠Fast heart rate (tachycardia) ⢠Greatly reduced or no urine output ⢠Rapid breathing rate (tachypnea) ⢠Weak pulse
- 12. Why we still have Cholera Cases ⢠Cholera is extremely rare in countries that have modern water and sewage treatment facilities. In fact, only about five cases of cholera are reported in the US every year. Scattered outbreaks due to raw or undercooked shellfish from the Gulf of Mexico. However, cholera is a major cause of illness in the developing world, with approximately three to five million cases occurring worldwide each year. Most reported cases of cholera are in Africa.
- 14. PRIMARY PREVENTION ⢠Avoiding consumption of tap water, ice cubes, and fountain drinks ⢠Bathing and washing (yourself and your children) at least 100 feet away from drinking water sources ⢠Being aware of the risks of cholera and understanding how it is spread ⢠Drinking only boiled, bottled or purified water ⢠Not eating raw or undercooked meats and seafood or unpeeled fruits and vegetables ⢠Using purified water to wash dishes, prepare food, and brush your teeth ⢠Washing your hands often with soap and water .
- 15. SECONDARY PREVENTION ⢠Education to persons ⢠Ensure water is clean as according to procedures ⢠Wash Hands ⢠It takes 14 days after getting better to get rid of the bacteria, so still have to stay away.
- 16. NURSING CARE
- 17. PREVELANCE ⢠According to the WHO report, an estimated 2.8 million (uncertainty range, 1.2 - 4.3 million) people contract cholera each year in endemic countries around the world, and some 91,000 (uncertainty range, 28,000 - 142,000) people die from infection by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139. In nonendemic countries, the report estimates, another 87,000 cholera cases cause 2500 deaths annually.
