How Private Is Mental Health? Two Case Studies - Samaritans Radar versus Help...Maria Wolters
The document discusses privacy issues related to mental health data collection and monitoring. It describes a project called Help4Mood that collected daily data on activity, mood, and thought patterns from people with depression through devices like actigraph watches and voice recordings. However, issues with privacy and data ownership arose as participants questioned who would access their personal data and what it would be used for. The document also discusses challenges with locking down personal devices to extract data while maintaining privacy, and debates around using social media data to monitor users for suicidal thoughts without their consent. Overall it argues for approaches to mental health data processing that give individuals ownership and insight over their own personal data.
The document discusses various aspects of communication in a healthcare setting. It outlines different types of communication including verbal, letters, and signage. It also discusses challenges patients may face in communication due to sensory, cognitive, or language impairments and how standards and tweaking information can help. The document also provides examples of communication tools used throughout the patient journey from initial appointment letters to arrival at hospital and being in the waiting area or on a ward. It emphasizes the importance of collecting feedback to improve communication and provides examples of feedback received.
The document discusses why patient associations should use social media. It notes that patients now spend most of their time on social media and look online for health information. Patient associations need to connect with patients in the digital space by establishing a presence on popular social media sites. Maintaining a webpage can also help patient associations spread information and raise disease awareness more effectively. The presentation provides tips on how patient associations can best utilize social media and maximize their online impact.
The internet has transformed our lives, particularly in the way we access information and communicate with each other. Today academic physicians have more tools than ever in the form of social networking and other online resources to disseminate their scholarly work worldwide. Some of these sites even provide analytics that can help academic physicians measure and report their reach, and these metrics may be useful when filing for promotion.

The document discusses self-care in the healthcare context, noting that self-care involves looking after one's health through healthy lifestyle habits, staying active, and preventative care whenever possible. It describes how self-care technologies like wearable devices and apps can help patients monitor their vital signs, share health information with doctors, and receive real-time health analytics and risk monitoring to support better health decisions and fewer hospital visits. The goal of self-care is to give people more control over their lives through increased freedom, choice, and flexibility.

GP Palliative Care Update 2019 Emergency Health Care Plans Dr. Owen Lever (As...St Oswald's Hospice
This document provides guidance on creating Emergency Health Care Plans (EHCP). It explains that EHCPs are advisory documents that provide guidance, not mandates, on emergency care for patients who lack capacity. The creation of an EHCP involves a stepwise process of determining a patient's capacity, understanding their values and priorities, considering family needs, and documenting the plan. Key points are that EHCPs should be individualized, anticipate potential emergencies, and promote shared decision making to ensure a patient's wishes are followed in an emergency situation. The document provides an example of information that could be included in an EHCP for a patient at risk of seizures, infections, and respiratory issues from metastatic lung cancer.
Polypharmacy: seeing it through patients' eyesJeremy Taylor
How do patients experience having to take multiple medications? What are the implications for policy and practice? These are slides framing a presentation at a joint Royal Pharmaceutical Society/Royal College of GPs conference on polypharmacy on 20 April 2016.
Uses and gratifications theory suggests that people actively seek out specific media to fulfill certain needs. It identifies five main categories of needs that media can satisfy: cognitive needs for knowledge, affective needs for emotional connection, personal integrative needs for self-esteem, social integrative needs for social interaction, and tension-free needs for escape. Different forms of media are better suited for some needs over others, such as television excelling at affective needs and social media satisfying social integrative needs.
Ageing without Children (AWOC) is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 to raise awareness of issues facing those aging without children through research, local support groups, and advocacy.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with over 1.6 million deaths per year. While screening and treatment have improved, five-year survival rates have remained low at around 16.8%. A social media movement called Lung Cancer Social Media (#LCSM) was started to raise awareness, educate the public, and advocate for increased research funding. Through #LCSM's efforts on Twitter and other platforms, Medicare agreed to cover lung cancer screening for high-risk patients, which is estimated to save thousands of lives annually. Continued advocacy is needed to implement screening recommendations in other areas.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
