Head Lice Advice for Parents
Head lice are small parasites that live on the human head near the ears and neck, feeding on blood. They cannot fly or swim but can crawl quickly. While not dangerous, they are common and can be successfully treated. Checking hair thoroughly with a detection comb can find live lice or nits (eggs), which may indicate an active infection requiring treatment of all infected family members on the same day to prevent re-infection. Performing regular detection combing is recommended to find and treat head lice early.

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.

Eye and ear problems first aid
- 1. Objects in the Eye A speck of dirt or small object in the eye will often wash out with your tears. If the object is not removed, it may scratch the covering of the eye (cornea). Most corneal scratches are minor and heal on their own in a day or two. If an object is thrown forcefully into the eye, seek emergency care, especially if the eye is punctured.
- 2. Home Treatment 1. Don’t rub the eye, because doing so could scratch the cornea. You may have to restrain small children from rubbing. 2. Do not try to remove an object that is on the pupil or that is stuck in the white of the eye. Cover both eyes and seek medical help. 3. Wash your hands before touching the eye.
- 3. 4. If the object is at the side of the eye or the lower lid, moisten a cotton swab or the tip of a twisted piece of tissue and touch the end to the speck. The object should cling to the swab or tissue. Some minor irritation is common after you have removed the object. 5. Gently wash the eye with cool water. An eyedropper helps.
- 4. 6. Never use tweezers, toothpicks, or other hard items to remove any object. Eye damage may result. 7. Seek emergency care if the eyeball is punctured, the object is embedded in the eye, if you cannot remove the object and if vision id blurred.
- 5. Objects in the ears Children sometimes put small objects in their ears, or an insect may crawl into the ear. It may be hard to know if an insect is in the ear. The child may say, “My ear is bumping around.”
- 6. Home Treatment 1. Don’t try to kill an insect in the ear. Pull the ear up and back and point it toward the sun or a bright light. Insects are attracted to light, so the insect may crawl out.
- 7. 2. If the insect doesn’t crawl out, fill the ear canal with mineral, olive, or baby oil. The insect may float out. 3. To remove other objects in the ear, tilt the head to the side and shake it. Gently pulling the ear up and back may straighten the ear canal and help dislodge the object.
- 8. 4. If the object is soft and can be easily seen, try carefully to remove it with tweezers. Do not try this if the person will not hold very still or if the object is in the ear so far that you can’t see the tips of the tweezers. Use care not to push the object farther in. 5. Seek medical help if you cannot remove the insect or object.
- 9. Ringing in the Ears Persistent ringing in the ear is called tinnitus. Tinnitus is usually caused by damage to the nerves in the inner ear from prolonged exposure to loud noise. Drinking excessive alcohol can also cause tinnitus. Home Treatment 1. Limit or avoid exposure to loud noises, such as music, power tools, gunshots, and industrial machinery.
- 10. 2. Eliminate caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. 3. Try to relax; stress and fatigue seem to make it worse.
- 11. 5. Limit your use of aspirin and products containing aspirin.
