A tracheostomy may be needed to help breathing but will only be considered carefully over the next week based on the patient's condition and risks versus benefits. The team is very concerned about the patient's frailty and limited chances of survival due to the disease and prior health.
Whole blood for trauma haemorrhage - UK experience - Laura Green - TBS24
Whole Blood for Trauma Haemorrhage: UK experience
1) A study in the UK found that using a component of red blood cells and plasma (RCP) in pre-hospital trauma patients reduced wastage and had similar clinical outcomes compared to separate red blood cells and plasma.
2) This led to the development of a whole blood program and component to evaluate the potential benefits of whole blood transfusion in the pre-hospital setting.
3) The SWIFT trial is now underway, randomly assigning severely injured trauma patients to receive either two units of whole blood or two units of red blood cells and plasma to determine if whole blood transfusion leads to reduced mortality or need for massive transfusion.
TBI and CV dysfunction - Flora Bird - TBS24
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major global health problem and the leading cause of death and disability in people under 40 in many countries. Approximately 24% of patients with severe isolated TBI experience cardiovascular dysfunction prior to physician-led emergency helicopter assessment. These patients have lower GCS, higher heart rate and lactate, and worse coagulopathy compared to those without cardiovascular dysfunction. They also require more blood transfusions, have higher mortality, and are less likely to be discharged home. Further research is needed to better understand the pathophysiology of cardiovascular dysfunction following severe TBI in order to improve recognition and treatment in the critical hyperacute phase after injury.

Shock Continuum - Sara Crager - TBS24.pdf
A talk by Sara Crager at TBS24
Shock isn’t about hypotension, it’s about hypoperfusion. While we know this in theory, we don’t do a great job of applying it in practice. In order to move beyond our reliance on blood pressure to recognize shock at the bedside, we need to stop thinking about shock as a diagnosis and instead think about it as a continuum.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
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.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
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.
Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Unit 4: MRA 103T Regulatory affairs
This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
