What is Epigenetic Changes? Understanding Their Role in Health and Disease | ...The Lifesciences Magazine
Epigenetic changes are garnering increasing attention in the field of genetics and medicine for their profound influence on gene expression and cellular function.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
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.

1. MedTech and Supply Chains: What
Does the Future Hold?
The global spread of COVID-19 highlighted the need for responsive and robust MedTech and
Supply Chains across many industries, including MedTech. We gained a new appreciation for the
importance of properly functioning medical equipment and its many moving components.
When a member of my family became infected and required a respirator, the severity of the
situation struck home. Due to his good fortune, he made it through the ordeal, as a machine was
readily accessible. However, he probably wouldn’t have been able to wait around for another day.
It made me consider just how many people’s lives are impacted on a daily basis by problems with
MedTech and Supply Chains and the accessibility of appropriate equipment in hospitals and
clinics.
As healthcare grows closer to the patient, we depend on a wide variety of medical equipment,
including respirators, in hospitals, clinics, and, increasingly, the patient’s own home. These
devices are an integral element of our healthcare system and are used for everything from
imaging and ECG monitoring to blood sugar and pulse oximetry. Loss of life may result from
interruptions in their supply or upkeep.
The MedTech and Supply Chains are quite intricate;
The MedTech and Supply Chains for dialysis equipment are a good case in point. The producer is
responsible for sourcing the necessary hardware, electrical, and software. Each machine is made
2. up of thousands of pieces arriving through multiple supply networks. In addition, there are single-
use items including dialyzers, concentrates, and bloodlines. The inventory of these machines must
also be controlled. The machines also need to be transported and serviced when they break or
need routine maintenance.
Planning and anticipating demand, visibility, tracing, and in certain circumstances, temperature
control, time-certain delivery, and documentation are all essential for ensuring regulatory
compliance. In addition, businesses must coordinate with their suppliers, their production
network (whether it be internal or external), and their logistical partners.
Other difficulties exist for the MedTech industry. More fluctuating demand, a trend to link and
tailored solutions in favor of conventional goods, and a continual push to cut costs and asset
intensity. In addition to this, they need to provide full transparency to all parties involved in the
healthcare delivery process and fulfill the ever-changing security and regulatory standards. There
are a lot of variables to keep track of there.
At the same time, the MedTech and Supply Chains are expected to become a growth driver for
MedTech businesses. This is in addition to its more standard function, which is to ensure
efficiency, which is currently assumed. To this end, companies look to their chief supply chain
officers and their teams to do the following: Facilitate the adoption of innovative practices.
This includes services around goods, solutions, linked products, new geographies, direct-to-
consumer, and as-a-service models, among other things. It also demands utilizing platforms,
robots, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), artificial intelligence and machine learning
(AI/ML), virtual reality (VR), and more. Through all of this, the supply chain can assist a
MedTech firm turn itself into a connected solutions company—one that is focused on solutions,
combinations of goods and services, and backed by user-friendly platforms. The supply chain’s
primary role has expanded to include not just product design, development, and distribution but
also the complete product ecosystem of services and connections.
3. 1. Improve your focus on your patients and your customers.
This entails ensuring sure the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic tools are accessible to the
appropriate healthcare providers and patients at the appropriate time and place and at an
appropriate cost.
Improve flexibility and resilience. The pandemic has shown us that the MedTech and Supply
Chains must manage suppliers, increase visibility, and engage the relevant teams at factories and
delivery hubs, all while keeping in mind that the future of work will be different from what we
have now.
2. Continue to optimize costs and achieve operational excellence.
The MedTech and Supply Chains may achieve breakthrough performance and operational
excellence with a zero-based strategy. In order to achieve this aim of continual optimization, it is
necessary to think about the footprint strategy, what to make vs purchase, where collaborations
might be helpful, and the potential value of mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
Enhance long-term viability at every stage of production. Check out what my associate Kris
Timmermans has to say about the subject to learn more about why this is so important.
3. Addressing these difficulties requires a supply network designed for the
future.
Technology-driven MedTech and Supply Chains models (artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, and
internet of things (IoT) enabled) with end-to-end digitized and transformed processes that harness
data and analytics at scale are being used by industry leaders to meet this challenge.
4. In addition, they optimize talent in their supply chains via the use of human+machine cooperation
and the use of knowledge workers undertaking judgment-based work (as opposed to manual and
repetitive processing) to provide a scalable, adaptable workforce. They employ asset-light
approaches and a network of partners to concentrate on core competencies and produce value in
their supply chains.
Last-mile delivery and after-sales MedTech and Supply Chains management for servicing
medical devices like dialysis machines, CT scanners, and MRI machines are prime illustrations of
the potential at hand. In order to maintain machines in hospitals and other care facilities
operational, for example, technicians need to have replacement parts and other consumables
delivered to the facility on time so that they may be installed and used by the machine’s operator.
Sadly, it is fairly uncommon for the technician to have to try and repair the machinery many
times before finally succeeding. Critical hospital and care center capacity is reduced, the cost to
serve is high, and there is no visibility or control over the stock of necessary service components
because of these outages.
The after-sales MedTech and Supply Chains model of the future will revolutionize the service
engineer, technician, and patient experience and drastically reduce response times. By speaking
into a voice assistant equipped with natural language processing, a technician repairing a dialysis
machine may reorder consumables, PPE, and replacement components and have them reimbursed
to their account instantly.
In addition, it is possible to select the schedule of delivery with the option of accepting shipments
at the technician’s house, the hospital, or a suitable storage lock. In response to incoming
maintenance work orders, the system automatically changes inventory levels and reschedules
delivery based on projections of future demand for repair parts made using sophisticated AI-
based models. That way, the technician can fix dialysis equipment without running into any
snags.
For healthcare workers, the experience also becomes seamless. When a dialysis machine breaks
down, a service order may be made immediately using a website that lists available technicians,
their schedules, and estimated wait times for completing the repair. In order to give the best
possible after-sale service, the order is automatically entered into the system, the appropriate
technician is alerted, and the service parts are dispatched quickly.
4. With the right technology and network of collaborators, we can solve any
problem.
To realize the full potential of this new model and its tremendous value for MedTech companies,
it is necessary to combine digital control tower capabilities to orchestrate the flow of service parts
with an ecosystem of partners to support the management of inventory and fulfillment of service
parts. However, as we have shown, improving the whole process, from service parts demand
forecasting through inventory management and last-mile delivery, may also be very beneficial for
healthcare providers and patients.
5. More and more organizations are embracing an asset-light strategy for after-sales service—
working with a partner utilizing an as-a-service model. This is one option to lower the fixed
expenses of having a workforce and assets to manage or coordinate all the after-sales supply
chain operations. Many businesses already use this strategy when sourcing replacement
components for their products. What is novel is executing it at scale with a revolutionary future-
ready paradigm that uses state-of-the-art control tower capabilities, complete visibility, and best-
in-class delivery partners.
Future-ready last-mile capabilities will also allow the optimization of other MedTech and Supply
Chains, such as the distribution of consumer MedTech goods, as MedTech shifts its emphasis to
direct-to-consumer solutions. And the administration of dispersed medical equipment inventories
such as orthopedics implants and surgical kits.
