When faced with a problem you can stay miserable, tolerate the distress, change how you think and feel about the problem or change the situation. Distress Tolerance Skills help you tolerate unpleasant feelings until you can think clearly and make the best choice to keep you moving toward your goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) of AnxietyDavid Walczyk
An overview of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and, in particular, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The clinical case material portion of presentation has been removed.
Josue Guadarrama, MA Presentation at 2016 Science of HOPE
Description
Developed within a coherent theoretical and philosophical framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique, empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with value driven commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. ACT uses three broad categories of techniques: mindfulness, including being present in the moment and defusion techniques; acceptance; and commitment to values-based living. Participants in this seminar will learn mindfulness as a way of observing ones experience, in the present moment, without judgment and “defuse,” or distancing oneself from unhelpful thoughts, reactions and sensations. Aside from a didactic approach, there will be video examples, and skill practice. Audience participation is highly encouraged.

Concentrating on a task is one aspect of flow.
In positive psychology, flow, also known as the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting loss in one's sense of space and time.

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
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.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

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

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

1. Journey to Recovery:
Behavior Modification Basics
Presented by: Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes
Executive Director, AllCEUs
Host: Counselor Toolbox
AllCEUs.com Unlimited CEUs and Specialty Certifications $59
2. Objectives
Define behavior modification
Explore how behavior modification can be useful in
practice
Learn basic behavior modification terms:
Unconditioned stimulus and response
Conditioned stimulus and response
Discriminitive stimuli
Learned helplessness
Reinforcement
Punishment
Extinction Burst
Premack Principle
3. Why Do I Care
Behavior modification principles will help you
understand some of the reasons people act/react the
way they do
By understanding what rewards(causes and motivates)
people’s behavior or discourages (punishes/Strains)
their behavior, we can better address their issues
The focus on observable, measurable conditions to
the exclusion of cognitive interpretation underscores
the mind-body connection
4. How can this
be useful in
practice
Traditional (strict) behavior
modification can be quite useful
in simplifying stimulus/reaction
Integrating the cognitive
interpretations (labels) can help
people in identifying and
addressing what is causing their
“distress” (Behaviorists would
refer to excitatory response)
Understanding what causes
feelings can also give people a
greater sense of empowerment.
5. Example
Organisms learn behavior through direct and
observational reinforcement and correction
Puppy 1 tackles puppy 2 threat
Puppy 2 responds by tackling puppy 1 counter threat
Both puppies get a surge of adrenaline
The puppy that dominates receives a dopamine surge
that reinforces the prior behaviors --- do that again.
If Puppy 1 plays too rough, then puppy 2 will either
become more aggressive or leave.
Either way, puppy 1s behavior is punished.
6. Example 2
In addition to direct and observational learning,
humans learn to label certain internal experiences
with feeling words (angry, scared, happy)
Sally goes to a pet store.
A puppy comes out, sits in her lap and puts is head on her
leg. This contact (we know from studies) usually causes
the release of dopamine and oxytocin –both reward
chemicals. Sally calls this “happy”
If Sally had previously had a threatening experience with a
dog, when she saw it, her body would likely respond by
secreting adrenaline, kicking off the fight or flight
reaction. Sally would label this as “fear”
7. Points
People with dysphoria or unhelpful behaviors may
need to:
Recondition X is not actually a threat (anymore)
Relabel the state
Stressed vs. hungry vs. bored vs. tired
Explore the dialectics: Excitement/Fear
Unhook– X is causing me to have the feeling that…
8. Basic Terms
Unconditioned stimulus and
response
Something that evokes an
unconditioned/automatic
response in an infant and adult
Loud noises
Pain
Excessive cold/heat
Contact
9. Basic Terms
Conditioned Stimulus
Something that in itself has no
meaning to the person (yellow light)
Conditioned Response
The person’s reaction to the stimulus
(slow down or floor it)
Stimuli and responses can be
traced back to survival: Fight-Flee-
Forget-Repeat
10. Basic Terms
Discriminitive stimulus
The stimulus which triggers the
reaction. (Includes vulnerabilities)
Going to work
Good day
Bad day
Learned Helplessness “Damned
if I do, damned if I don’t”
A response which occurs when
people have tried and failed.
Giving up.
11. Fight or Flee
Stimuli that present a threat of pain or death can
trigger the excitatory fight or flight response
A useful intervention is to identify
The threat
If it is actually a threat
Break down parts of the situation into controllable and
uncontrollable
12. Conditioning
Mindfulness can help people identify
Positive stimuli dopamine “happy”
Negative stimuli adrenaline fight or flee
Little things build up and lead to a big reaction.
(Pressure cooker)
Stimuli that trigger a negative reaction can be
reconditioned as neutral by
Embracing the dialectics: Find the positive (snowy day)
Being psychologically flexible: Not worth the energy
(rainy day)
13. Conditioning: Repeat
Adding and noticing positive stimuli in the
environment is vital
Happiness Triggers
Smells (pumpkin spice…lol)
Sights (wildlife, my kids)
Sounds (babbling brook)
Feel (crisp autumn breeze)
14. Putting it Together
How can you use discriminative stimuli to:
Increase a feeling of control and “self-efficacy”
(Remind them to have a can-do attitude)
Increase “self-esteem” (Remind them they are lovable)
Decrease angry responses (Remind them to use coping
or distress tolerance skills)
15. New Terms

31. Summary
If you eliminate a behavior, you must replace it
with at least one, preferably 3 new ones
People are “motivated” for rewards and to avoid
punishment.
Decisional balance exercises can help people
make new behaviors rewarding and old
behaviors…less rewarding
Reinforcers must be reinforcing to the person
32. Summary/In Practice
When a client is trying to change a behavior
Analyze exceptions (chaining---what was different
when you did not …)
Behavior chains can help identify antecedents/triggers
and vulnerabilities
Remember that every behavior is maintained by
rewards (getting up, going to work, eating)
Eliminating a behavior means
Making that behavior LESS rewarding than the
alternative
Making the new behavior MORE rewarding than the
alternative
