Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

13. Characteristics of the
Aedes Mosquito
One distinct physical
feature – black and
white stripes on its
thorax and legs.
Bites during the day.
Lays its eggs in
clean, stagnant water.
Close-up of an Aedes mosquito
14. Characteristics of the
Aedes Mosquito
Only the female Aedes mosquito
feeds on blood. This is because
they need the protein found in
blood to produce eggs. Male
mosquitoes feed only on plant
nectar.
On average, a female Aedes
mosquito can lay about 300 eggs
during her life span of 14 to 21
days.
15. Life cycle of the Aedes Mosquito
1-2 days
Larvae
Pupae
4-5 days
Eggs
2-3 days
Stagnant water
16. How Do Aedes Mosquitoes Transmit
Diseases...
Mosquito bites and sucks
blood containing the virus
from an infected person.
And passes the virus
to healthy people
when it bites them.
Virus is carried in its
body.
20. Prevent Aedes from Breeding!
Remove ALL sources of
stagnant water.
Deny the Aedes mosquito of any
chance to breed.
Personal prevention involves the use of mosquito nets,
repellents, cover exposed skin, use of DEET-impregnated
bednets, and avoiding endemic areas.
30. Dengue Vaccine?
• No licensed vaccine at present
• Effective, safe and affordable vaccine will not
be available in the immediate future
31. Dengue Treatment?
• Fluids
• Rest
• Antipyretics (avoid aspirin and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs)
• Monitor blood pressure, hematocrit, platelet
count, level of consciousness.
• In case of severe bleeding, give fresh whole blood
20 ml/kg as a bolus.
• – Give platelet rich plasma transfusion
exceptionally when platelet counts are below
5,000–10,000/ mm3.
33. oThe main tactic used in fighting Dengue is
eradicating the mosquito.
oAdd some granular insecticide to places that
mosquitoes could potentially breed, such as flower
vases and places where stagnant water could not
be removed (try to remove all stagnant water.
Don’t let it lay its eggs).
oPublic spraying for mosquitoes is the most important
aspect of this approach.
oThe use of IGRs and Bacillus thuringiensis-14 (Bti)
as larvicides in addition to temephos (OP) and
pyrethroid insecticides also suggested.

Editor's Notes
Good morning/afternoon everyone, I’m sure you all know that dengue is a serious problem now, but how much about dengue do you really know?
Today I’ll be sharing with you more information about dengue, meant for all schools, from The National Environment Agency. I will explain how dengue is spread and what we can do to stop it. Please listen carefully as dengue can strike anyone…you and me.
So what is dengue fever?
Dengue fever is an illness caused by the dengue virus which is spread by the Aedes mosquito.
Good morning/afternoon everyone, I’m sure you all know that dengue is a serious problem now, but how much about dengue do you really know?

How do you know if you have dengue fever? You have dengue fever if you have a fever that does not go away even after a few days; You may also experience headaches, muscle and joint pains, skin rash, and vomiting.

Now I’ll tell you about the Aedes mosquito which spreads dengue.
1) You can identify an Aedes mosquitoe from other mosquitoes by the black & white stripes on its body and legs. Because of this, it is also known as the ‘tiger mosquito.
2) It usually bites during the day.
3) The Aedes mosquito lays its eggs in clean, stagnant water. A pool of water as small as a twenty cent coin is all that is needed for it to breed.
Only the female mosquitoes feed on blood, as they need the blood protein to lay their eggs.
Despite a short life span of two to three weeks, each female Aedes mosquito is able to lay up to 300 eggs.
As seen in this diagram of the Aedes mosquito’s life cycle, it only takes about a week for the mosquito complete the 4 stages consisting of the egg, larva and pupa stage before it becomes an adult mosquito. As one female mosquito lays up to 300 eggs each time, just imagine how many mosquitoes can be hatched!
We all know by now that the Aedes mosquito spreads the dengue virus, but how exactly do they do it? Mosquitoes cannot transmit the dengue virus amongst themselves, they need to first bite a person who is already infected with the dengue virus. The infected mosquito will then carry the dengue virus and pass it onto a healthy person when it bites him/her and causing them to fall sick. The cycle then continues with the new victim.

So now that you know more about the dengue, what can you do to stop it?
Here are the 10-minute mozzie wipe out exercise that you could work on to help get rid of stagnant water in and around your house.
Change water in vases on alternate days.
Remove water from flower-pot plates on alternate day.
Turn over all pails and water storage containers.
Tell your parents or any adults in your house to cover bamboo pole holders when they are not in use.
And tell your parents or any adults in your house to clear blockages and put BTI insecticide in roof gutters monthly.
Do not litter. Rubbish such as cups ad bottles can collect rain water and breed mosquitoes.
