WHO LER
1. Health care-associated infections (HCAIs) are a major global problem that impact patient safety. They prolong hospital stays, increase costs, and often result in disability or death.
2. In developed countries, 5-15% of hospitalized patients acquire HCAIs, and rates are even higher in intensive care units, sometimes affecting up to 37% of patients. European studies show HCAI prevalence rates of 4.6-9.3% among hospitalized patients.
3. Proper hand hygiene is one of the most important measures to reduce HCAI transmission and burden. However, hand hygiene compliance among health workers is low worldwide. Improving practices can significantly decrease infection rates
Infection control
1) The document discusses strategies to prevent infections associated with healthcare interventions like urinary catheters and ventilators. It highlights that hand hygiene and limiting the duration of invasive devices are important prevention strategies.
2) The use of multimodal intervention bundles that include strategies like optimal insertion and maintenance of catheters/ventilators, skin antisepsis and daily review of device necessity can significantly reduce healthcare associated infections.
3) Recent studies demonstrate the efficacy of chlorhexidine impregnated dressings in further reducing infections associated with intravascular catheters beyond the impact of basic multimodal care bundles. Consistent application of evidence-based practices can further reduce infections.

Osmoregulation, exercetion
Osmoregulation refers to the physiological processes organisms use to regulate water balance and maintain proper osmotic concentrations of body fluids. Terrestrial animals are more prone to water loss and have developed strategies like specialized excretory organs to prevent it. Freshwater animals often have contractile vacuoles that collect and expel excess water to prevent bursting from osmosis. Marine animals need to conserve water and actively expel excess salts through gills and kidneys to maintain hypotonic internal environments.

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.
