This document discusses bullying within Aboriginal communities. It notes that:
- Nearly all Aboriginal youth have experienced bullying or lateral violence from their peers. Lateral violence refers to bullying among one's own community or ethnic group.
- 95% of young Aboriginal people have witnessed lateral violence and bullying at home. 95% of bullying among Aboriginal people is directed at other Aboriginal people.
- Lateral violence stems from colonization and oppression and is a way for oppressed groups to internalize pain and direct it at their own community instead of confronting larger systems of power. It causes negative mental health impacts.
- Forms of lateral violence include verbal and nonverbal attacks, sabotage, and scapegoating.

Engaging Youth in Tobacco Use and Reduction Using Video
This document summarizes a project to engage Inuit youth in tobacco use reduction through video stories about quitting smoking. [1] The National Aboriginal Health Organization and Inuit Tuttarvingat developed the Inuit Tobacco-free Network to share knowledge about tobacco use reduction. [2] They hired Inuit youth to film video testimonials from people in their communities who have quit or tried to quit smoking. [3] The videos were used in a classroom contest in Nunavut schools to encourage youth to think about the harms of smoking and consider quitting. The contest provided feedback on the videos and strategies to improve youth tobacco prevention efforts.

The document discusses Inuit traditional knowledge and its importance. It notes that Inuit traditional knowledge is a cumulative body of knowledge passed down through generations that describes the relationship between people, spiritual beings, and the environment. It emphasizes that Inuit traditional knowledge must be shared and used to benefit knowledge holders. The document also highlights that incorporating Inuit traditional knowledge and cultural safety is important for developing health programs and services for Inuit communities.More from National Aboriginal Health Organization (20)

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 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.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Histololgy of Female Reproductive System.pptx
