It outlines a 7-step process for establishing effective measurement: 1) decide the aim, 2) choose measures, 3) define measures, 4) collect data, 5) analyze and present data, 6) review measures, and 7) take action on results. Key points include measuring outcomes and processes, collecting consistent data, analyzing variation over time through run charts, and using measurement to identify improvement opportunities.
The document discusses the opening of an early labour lounge at a local hospital to improve the user experience for women in early labour. Key issues with the previous antenatal ward included poor user experience, environment, and staff attitude. The new early labour lounge provides a more comfortable and private space for women in early labour to help support normal birth. User feedback on the new lounge has been positive, with improved survey results and fewer complaints about staff attitude.
An audit was conducted of outpatient inductions of labor (IOL) compared to inpatient IOLs between February and March 2010. Out of 65 total IOLs, 16 were conducted on an outpatient basis. Women who underwent outpatient IOL had similar fetal and maternal outcomes as those who had inpatient IOLs. Outpatient IOL allows low-risk women to stay with their families and keeps hospital beds available for higher-risk deliveries while maintaining normalcy of birth. The process involves community midwives offering membrane sweeps starting at 40 weeks and arranging outpatient IOL appointments.
Community Energy Solutions fully funds PV installations on public and social housing roofs. It shares the Feed-in Tariff income with the roof owner, providing £35 in roof access payments and £50 in annual profits. Investors provide £425 and receive £700 in annual FiT payments.

It has proven success increasing diversion rates from landfill over 70% while running salaried training programs. The biggest challenges are spreading awareness of its benefits and engaging more local authorities as bulky waste is sometimes seen as marginal, so support from more councils could help it grow further.
TravelSmart uses individualized travel marketing (ITM) to promote sustainable and active travel by directly engaging households in dialogue about their travel behaviors and providing information and support to enable behavior change. Projects have consistently reduced car-as-driver trips by 9-14% based on before-and-after surveys, with corresponding increases in walking, cycling, and public transportation. Financial savings and health benefits result from increased active travel, while carbon emissions are reduced through decreased car usage.
This training program connects staff to an organization's sustainability strategy through knowledge and skills building, behavior change planning, and engagement workshops. This results in total workforce responsibility for the environment and real business improvements like reduced carbon emissions and operating costs.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.
