The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a 30-point test used to screen for cognitive impairment. It tests several areas including orientation, registration, attention, recall, language, and visual-spatial skills. The test takes 10-15 minutes to administer and includes questions about orientation to time and place, registration of objects, attention and calculation, recall of objects, language skills, and the ability to follow commands. Scores are interpreted based on cut-offs, with scores below 24 indicating cognitive impairment. The MMSE provides a quick method to monitor changes over time but has limitations such as bias against those with low education.

Third stage of labour.pdf
The third stage of labour involves the separation and expulsion of the placenta and membranes from the uterus. There are two main methods for managing the third stage - active management and expectant management. Active management involves providing oxytocin or methylergonovine within 1 minute of birth to help the uterus contract and quickly deliver the placenta, usually within 30 minutes. Expectant management allows the placenta to separate and deliver spontaneously on its own timeline, with close monitoring by a healthcare provider. After delivery of the placenta, the provider examines it and membranes for completeness and abnormalities before repairing any perineal trauma from birth.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
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.

- 1. MENTAL HEALTH NURSING MMSE Submitted to : Prerna ma’am Presented by: Tutor college of nursing Rashi Nirwan 06350306619 BSC (H) NSG.4TH VMMC and sjh.
- 2. INTRODUCTION The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) or Folstein test is a 30-point questionnaire that is used extensively in clinical and research settings to measure cognitive impairment. Itwas developed by Dr. Marshall Folstein in the year of 1975 The Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) is a widely used test of cognitive function among the elderly: it includes tests of orientation, attention, memory, language and visual-spatial skills. The mini-mental state examination is proprietary and takes about 10-15 minutes to administer.
- 3. DEFINITION The Mini-Mental status Examination is a cognitive test to screen for the presence of cognitive impairment example Dementia
- 4. Purpose of MMSE It is useful in helping differentiate between a variety of systemic conditions, as well as neurologic and psychiatric disorders ranging from delirium and dementia to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
- 5. COMPONENTS OF MMSE ● Orientation ● Registration ● Attention Calculation ● Recall ● Language
- 6. ORIENTATION ● Which year is this? ● . Where are we now? ● Which State we live in? ● What is the name of this County ? ● What Season it is? ● What is today's date? ● What is the Day of the week? ● Which Month is this? ● What is the name of this city? ● • What Floor are we on?
- 8. REGISTRATION ● objects clearly and slowly, then the instructor asks the patient to name all three of them. ● The patient's response is used for scoring. ● The examiner repeats them until patient learns all of them, if possible. [Example ● Examiner names 3 objects (eg apple, table, car) Patient asked to repeat (1 point for each correct)]. ● Maximum score is 3
- 10. ATTENTION AND CONCENTRATION ● "I would like you to count backward ● Subtract 7 from 100, then repeat from result. ● Continue 5 times: 100 93 86 79 65 ● Alternative: "Spell WORLD backwards." (D-L-R-O-W) ● Maximum score is 5
- 12. RECALL ● Earlier I told you the names of three things. ● Can you tell me what those were?" Maximum score is 3.
- 14. LANGUAGE ● Naming: Show the patient two simple objects, such as wristwatch and a pencil, and ask the patient to name them. 1 point for each ● Maximum score is 2 ● Repetition: Ask the person to repeat the following. No ifs" & or buts" (1point). Allow only one trial ● Maximum score is 1 ● Command: Give a 3 stage command. Score 1 for each stage. Eg. "Place index finger of right hand on your nose and then on your left ear" ● . Maximum score is 3
- 18. SCORING AND INTERPRETATION ● The Mini-mental state examination is scored on a scale of 0-30 with scores > 25 interpreted as normal cognitive status. • ● Severe cognitive impairment: 59 ● Moderate cognitive impairment 10-18 ● Mild cognitive impairment: 19-23 ● No cognitive impairment: 24-30 ● Interpretation of the mental status examination must take into account the patient's native language, education level, and culture as these factors can affect performance!
- 19. ADVANTAGES OF MMSE ● >Relatively quick and easy to perform ● Requires no additional equipment ● Can provide a method of monitoring deterioration over time
- 20. DISADVANTAGES OF MMSE ● Biased against people with poor education due to elements of language and mathematical testing ● - Bias against visually impaired - ● Limited examination of visuospatial ● cognitive ability ● Poor sensitivity at detected mild/early dementia
- 21. ● Copyrighted and should the most up to date version should officially only be accessed via the Psychological Assessment Resourcing (PAR) ● -Patients new to a region may not geographic orientation aspect of ● the test - False positives can lead to anxiety labelling and stigma
