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.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
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.

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).

to help improve hand hygiene standards
• Findings of the 2009 International consumer survey
Supported by Dettol – Leaders in Hygiene

3. Introduction
why is it so important
to improve hygiene?
The global increase in infection due to bacteria,
viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites is evident in all
nations. Western developed nations have seen an
increase in hospital acquired infection and antibiotic
resistant strains of bacteria, while some developing
nations have seen increases in resistant tuberculosis1
and in malaria.2
Regardless of geographical location, many infectious
diseases can be prevented or contained through
good hygiene practice and education. Whether this is
to ensure that stored water is covered to reduce the
spread of dengue or malaria, that purifying tablets
are used for drinking water, that the mouth is covered
when coughing, or simple effective hand washing
when running water is available.
Prevention is better than cure.
Childhood infections
Pneumonia, diarrhoea, and
HIV/AIDS each account
for approximately 30% of
child deaths in developing
nations, particularly Africa.3

the Hygiene Council
The Hygiene Council is a group of leading global experts in the fields of
microbiology, virology, infectious disease, immunology, and public health.
The Council reviews current infectious disease threats to society and formulates
realistic recommendations on simple hygiene measures to help the public improve
levels of hygiene in the home and community and in turn help to prevent the spread
of all kinds of infections.
This year, the Hygiene Council, responding to consumer confusion about how best
to be hygienically safe during the spread of infectious diseases, has come up with a
set of practical recommendations to help all of us practice good hand hygiene. By
translating science into practice, everyone can have a clear idea of best practice.
