Genetic engineering involves manipulating the DNA of organisms to produce desired traits. It works by inserting foreign DNA into an organism's genes using techniques like recombinant DNA and gene splicing. Genetically modified organisms can have altered traits like insect or disease resistance. Genetic engineering is used in agriculture, health, industry and more. It allows producing goods like medicines more efficiently but also raises concerns about impacts that must be addressed properly.
genetic engineering: Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. Many organism are manipulated with the help genetic engineering useful for mankind.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Genetic engineering
1. The simple addition, deletion,
or manipulation of a single trait
in an organism to create a
desired change.
2. -major tool is recombinant DNA.
-Recombinant- DNA joined to other
unrelated foreign DNA.
-also called gene splicing.
-tiny segments of a gene are taken out and
replaced.
3. Organisms altered by genetic
engineering.
-genetic material changed by other than
random natural breeding.
-gene transfer-moving a gene from one
organism to another.
-these require skill and knowledge to be
carried out properly
4. Transgenic OrganismsTransgenic Organisms
-GMO- genetically modified organism.
-GMO free food-product in which no transgenic
materials were used in its manufacture, such as
soybeans used in making oils.
-GEO-genetically enhanced organism
5. Genetic Engineering
-genetic material can be shared across
scientific kingdoms.
-bacteria engineered-produce human
proteins
-potential is virtually endless.
8. Health and Medicine
-affecting health care & medical
industry.
-alternating growth w/hormones-
replacing organs are common.
-materials maybe rejected by organism
unless hormones are offered.
11. Industry and Environment
-more efficient use of scarce minerals
-greater efficiency in mining.
-major concern-waste management.
-biodegrade a number of waste products-
sewage and petroleum products.
12. Genetic Engineering
-gene splicing, gene cloning, molecular
cloning
-process cutting a gene out of a DNA
strand and inserting the gene into another
DNA strand.
13. Endonucleases
-type of enzyme in DNA strand.
-produced nucleic acid strand breaks
interior of nucleic acid strand.
-restriction endonucleases-enzyme
produced by bacteria that is used in
recombinant DNA.
-cuts open bacterial plasmid.
-gene construct engineered to plasmid with
ligasees. Plasmids back to bacterium.
14. Cloning Vectors
-carrier for DNA during the recombinant
DNA process.
-plasmid-piece of free-floating DNA in the
cytoplasm of bacteria.
-double-stranded, circular molecules that
replicate independently of the chromosome.
15. Promoter gene- A sequence of bases in a
nucleic acid strand, that serves as a
signal to start transcription.
Chromosomal DNA construct- The gene of
interest.
Antibiotic resistant gene- Are used as a
marker system for transformed cells.
16. Ligation- uniting attaching two DNA
fragments.
Recipient cell- is the cell that is
reviewing the ‘new’ DNA.
Donor cell- is the cell that provides the
new DNA fragment for the recipient
cell
Virto- done in glass
17. • Transformation- process of introducing free
DNA into bacteria
Competent cell- a cell that is capable of taking
up DNA.
Electroporation- The use of an electric shock
to momentarily open or disrupt cell walls.
18. Conjugation- the contact of bacteria that
involves the exchange of DNA with a
mating tube.
Transformed cell- cell with new DNA
Marker gene- a gene that identifies which
organisms have been successfully
transformed
19. Totipotent- means that an organism has
the ability to grow from a single cell
-especially important with plants, also
called regeneration.
20. • Agro bacterium tumefacians is a bacterium
that causes a disease known as crown gall
in plants.
• Infects plants by transferring its genetic
material into plant cell.
• Agrobacterium transformation is the most
common technique for genetically
engineered plants
21. Ballistic Gene Transfer- the use of tiny DNA-
coated projectiles as carriers. It is important
to transport DNA through the walls of
intended recipient cells.
Projectiles are often known as micro projectiles
Ballaistic transformation is done by using a ‘gene
gun’ the gene gun has been useful in creating
agricultural crops.

22. Callus- a mass of undifferentiated
plant cells.
By making a callus the number of
transformed cells is increased
23. Due to early cell differentiation, genetic
transformation in animals must occur in the
early embryo stage following the union of
sex cells
This is accomplished by using microinjection, to
randomly inject DNA into the fertilized call
Microinjection- is the injection of materials
directly into cells using a small glass
pipette.
24. The process of creating transgenetic animals
involves three major steps:
1. Obtaining embryos
2. Microinjectioing embryos
3. Culturing and transferring zygotes
Transgenetic integration- is expressed by the
animal of that desired trait.
