Fintess Facility Operations: A Forensic PrespectiveLaura Miele, Ph D
Abstract: Fitness facilities provide a number of services to the public. Those services encompass how to train and create an overall healthy being. There are national standards and guidelines that fitness facilities must follow in order to keep their members safe. Some issues that large and small fitness facilities have in common are the lack of knowledge regarding safe practices in the fitness industry. The purpose of this paper is to discuss safe operating procedures and establish an understanding of the industry standards and guidelines in an effort to decrease the incidence of injury or death. The authors will review the standard of care in fitness facility operation from a forensic perspective. This paper will also address frequent contributions to injuries in fitness facilities and provide recommendations regarding implementing safe practices.

Evaluation of an Exercise-Based Phase Program
as Part of a Standard Care Model for
Cancer Survivors
Jessica Marlene Brown, Daniel Yoon Kee Shackelford, Maria Lyn Hipp, and Reid Hayward
INTRODUCTION
Advancements in cancer treatments such as chemotherapy
and radiation have increased survival rates but often result in
many deleterious side effects during and after treatments.
Cancer survivors can suffer from physio-
logical toxicities affecting the cardiovascu-
lar, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, immune,
gastrointestinal, hepatic, and neuroendocrine
systems (1). In addition, many survivors will
experience psychological decrements such as
increased fatigue, increased depression, and
decreased quality of life (QOL) (2,3), whereas
exercise directly attenuates the toxicities and
decrements of cancer and its concurrent treat-
ments (4,5). The need to establish an exercise
Standard of Care Model (SCM) has been
recognized by many organizations. The
American Cancer Society has established
physical activity guidelines for cancer sur-
vivors (6), and the American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM) established ex-
ercise guidelines endorsed by the American
Society of Clinical Oncology (7). In addi-
tion, the National Comprehensive Cancer
Network added guidelines to their inclu-
sive treatment recommendations (8). Exer-
cise programming should be included in
the survivorship plan as early as possible
and should be considered as a foundational
component to improve lifelong QOL (9).
The addition of an SCM or, more specifically, a structured
and empirically tested exercise intervention may increase
patient benefit by reducing variations in practice and stan-
dardizing program implementation.
To derive the greatest benefit, exercise-based interventions
must be comprehensive and address the multidimensional
needs of cancer survivors during and after treatment. For this
reason, a “one size fits all” approach to exercise interventions
will not suffice (10). Survivors require prescriptive exercise
that is specialized for each individual based on treatment sta-
tus, comorbidities, and placement on the cancer continuum.
At the University of Northern Colorado Cancer Rehabilitation
Institute (UNCCRI), we have developed an SCM that includes
physician referral, medical and cancer screening, initial physi-
ological and psychological assessments, and an individualized
exercise prescription and intervention using a Phase Program

Abstract
The implementation of exercise programs was evaluated to identify best-practice in fall-related injury prevention. This paper incorporates information from four different studies to identify the evidence that suggests best-practice protocol. Evidence of these studies suggests that implementing exercise programs helps to prevent fall-related injuries in long-term care facilities for older adults. Incorporating exercise programs increases patient safety, prevents further injury, and promotes communication between patients and staff. By implementing these programs, patients’ overall health improves and they’re more satisfied by their ability to perform activities of daily living on a more independent level.
Exercise Programs to Prevent Fall Related Injuries in Older Adults
As individuals age through life, the risk for falls increase immensely. This is due to the lack of strength as well as a lack of balance in the human body. It is important for nurses to take l precautions to help stop patient falls because in many instances, falls are preventable (Ambutas, Lamb, & Quigley, 2017). Fall prevention includes important interventions that stop subsequent injuries from happening to patients. Everyday, nurses take precautions to prevent falls but additional actions could be taken in order to make these interventions more effective. Every patient is at risk of falling, especially older adults because they lose muscle mass and balance as they age (Taylor, Lillis, & Lynn, 2015, p. 142). After performing fall-risk assessments on each patient, nurses implement suggested best practice protocols for low-risk, moderate-risk, and high-risk patients. Best practice includes educating patients and families on fall risk, using bed or chair alarms, lowering the beds, encouraging regular toileting and other precautions (Taylor, et al., p. 145). Exercise programs act as another important measure that nurses could implement, in order to help patients improve their balance, strength and mobility while performing activities of daily living, and reduce risk for falls (Ambutas, Lamb & Quigley).
The following clinical question will be used to identify best practice related to exercise programs in order to prevent falls in older adults:
P: Older adults living in long-term care facilities
I: Exercise programs
C: (none)
O: Prevent fall-related injuries
T: (None)
In long-term care facilities for older adults, how do exercise programs help prevent fall-related injuries?

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
