Proper body mechanics are important for elderly care to prevent injuries. Maintaining good posture and lifting with the legs rather than the back can help reduce strain. Caregivers should also avoid sudden movements and support the elderly person's weight against their own body when helping them move.
Managing Emergencies.pptx
The document discusses emergency management and planning. It emphasizes the importance of:
1) Developing well-designed emergency plans before an event to aid in quicker system restoration. The plans should consider possible emergency scenarios and outline preparedness, response, recovery, and prevention measures.
2) Establishing clear command structures and assigning roles and responsibilities to response teams to coordinate emergency activities. This includes developing communication protocols and contact lists.
3) Creating action plans, maps, and checklists to guide the implementation of protective actions and emergency procedures for different event levels and hazards. Thorough planning is key to managing emergencies effectively.
injury
This document discusses injuries, including examples like vehicle crashes, falls, drownings, and sports injuries. It notes that injuries are a major public health issue and outlines several key points about injuries: they are preventable, not accidental, and have identifiable risk factors. It discusses the costs of injuries, both to individuals and society, and separates injuries into unintentional (accidents) and intentional categories. Statistics are provided on accident-related emergency department visits and deaths from motor vehicle crashes, falls, and poisonings. The major categories of unintentional injuries - motor vehicle crashes, home injuries, firearms, work, and recreation - are examined in more detail. Throughout, the document emphasizes that injuries can be prevented through awareness of
Fall.ppt
Falls are a serious risk for older adults, with 1 in 3 adults aged 65 and older falling each year, and falls being the leading cause of injury death among that age group. Simple environmental changes like improving lighting, removing clutter and tripping hazards, and installing handrails can significantly reduce fall risks. Regular exercise is important for older adult strength, balance, and flexibility to prevent falls, but fear of falling can paradoxically increase risk by limiting activity and physical fitness. Caregivers should be aware of common fall risk factors and work with doctors to manage medications, chronic conditions, vision, and other health issues that impact falls.

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.

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).

- 13. Procedure cont… • Wash hands with soap and water • Prepare all required articles and bring the article to the patient’s bedsides • Maintain privacy • Assist the ambulatory patient to sit on a bed side chair or maintain fowler position in bed. Help the bed ridden patient to the supine position
- 14. Procedure cont… • Spread a mackintosh on the bed and place a bowl with warm water • Instruct the patient to place his fingers in the bowl in a comfortable position for 3 – 5 minutes or necessary time period • Dry the hands with towel • Start to trim the finger nails and cut free end of the finger nails straightly
- 15. Procedure cont… • Avoid trimming or digging into nails at the lateral corners. • At that time, always give attention that the nails should be covered with gauge piece and put the nail on kidney tray • Clean under the surface of the nail with a blunt instrument or the longer end of the tooth pick taking care not to injure the nail bed
- 18. • Make the cut edge of the nail smooth by brushing them with a file • Wipe all fingernails from thumb to 5th nail side by side by wet cotton ball. One cotton ball is used for one nail finger. • Cut the opposite hand nails in the same manner
- 19. In toe nail care • Soak the feet nails with wet swabs or if the patient can sit, put the patient in a comfortable position and soak the feet nail in the bowl for 10 – 15 minutes • Dry the feet and nails • Start to trim the feet nails in such a manner that cutting the toe nail straight to prevent them from growing in ward and removing the dirt under surface of the nail • Do not cut the nail too short as it nay injure the nail bed
- 20. • Place the nail in a kidney tray and cut the opposite feet nails in the same manner • Remove the mackintosh • Keep the patient in a comfortable position • Give health education regarding nail care to the patient • Replace the articles after cleaning
- 21. Procedure cont… • Wash hands • Record the date, time, condition of the nails, abnormalities of the nails and nail bed etc • Report to the senior staff if any abnormalities are found
