This document summarizes the Nutrition Program Design Assistant tool, which was created by CORE Group and partners to help program planners design community-based nutrition programs. The tool includes a reference guide and workbook. The reference guide provides guidance on analyzing the nutrition situation, identifying appropriate program approaches, and selecting a combination of approaches based on the situation, resources, and objectives. It outlines six steps for program design: 1) gathering and analyzing nutrition data; 2) determining goals and objectives; 3) reviewing existing services; 4) preliminary prevention program design; 5) preliminary recuperation program design; and 6) finalizing the programming plan. The tool was developed with input from many organizations to help design effective, community-focused nutrition

What is the Integrating Gender and Nutrition within Agricultural Extension Services project and why is it in Zambia? Six team members from the USAID-funded Feed the Future initiative - formally called INGENAES - met with over 25 organizations based all over Zambia including ministries involved in extension, local and international NGOs, private sector organizations implementing USAID projects as well as their own ventures, local think tanks and universities, and research centers. The team worked with stakeholders to identify gaps and challenges faced in agricultural extension in improving gender and nutrition outcomes.
At the stakeholder workshop, representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, PROFIT+, USAID, and NGOs outlined potential activities and collaboration in four key Action Areas of the INGENAES project. Together, we identified the most important issues that local practitioners would like to received technical assistance with, be trained in, or see as needing deeper investigation. In the coming weeks we are working out the details of how to address those needs and interests collaboratively.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

KEY STEPS
Step 1. Gather and Synthesize Information on the Nutrition Situation
Step 1 provides guidance on gathering and synthesizing data to: 1) determine whether
implementation of a community‐based nutrition program is warranted in the setting; 2)
identify potential causes of undernutrition and key intervention areas; and 3) decide
whether the program will focus on prevention‐only or prevention and recuperation. Step 1
reviews data on:
A. Nutritional status: Anthropometry
B. Infant and young child feeding
C. Maternal nutrition
D. Micronutrient status of children
E. Underlying disease burden
The Workbook provides space for recording the data on each of the relevant indicators,
conclusions on level of public health significance based on the tables in the Reference
Guide, answers to additional questions for interpreting the data, and your final decisions
on whether the specific intervention area should be a priority. Later analysis will help you
determine whether you will attempt to address all of the priority areas.
Result: Determination of program focus (prevention only or prevention + recuperation) and
indication of priority intervention areas for addressing woman, infant and child nutrition
Step 2. Determine Initial Program Goal and Objectives
Step 2 guides the user to draft initial program goals and objectives based on the
conclusions in Step 1, and to note information on other issues such as the funding
available, community priorities, donor interests and organizational strengths. The goal and
objectives drafted in Step 2 will be revisited in Step 6 after collecting and reviewing
additional information.
Result: Initial program goal and objectives

HOW TO USE
This tool can be used to develop program approaches for any geographic level –local
community, district, province or national. The level your team chooses should be based
upon what is most useful for your planning purposes. The Quantitative Data Collection
Tables at the beginning of the Workbook provides columns for geographic disaggregation
of data in case you want to do an initial comparison of needs in making your final decision
on the target area. The tool does not provide any additional guidance in geographic
targeting, but assumes that your team already has substantial experience in choosing a
geographic target area.

SYNTHESIS OF DATA ON INFANT AND YOUNG CHILD FEEDING
Do any of the indicators or trends concern you? If so, which and why?
All of the indicator results in the table above fall significantly below the 80 percent cutoff and highlight that
poor IYCF is a cause for concern and a likely contributor to high levels of undernutrition in the area. The very
important practices of early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding are definitely suboptimal. While we do not
know how many children 12‐15 months of age are still fed breast milk, we do know that median duration is
21 months, so it looks like many women continue breastfeeding. The age of introduction of complementary
foods is unknown, but key informant data indicate that complementary foods are introduced later than 6
months of age. Finally, practices regarding feeding of sick children seem to be lacking overall and there is
opportunity to improve these practices. Formative research will be important to determine the barriers to
optimal practices in this area.
What further insight does disaggregated data provide? (Note: This detail would be found in the
Quantitative Data Collection Tables and is not listed above)
The sex‐disaggregated data show little difference between boys and girls. However, in the DHS report there
are geographic differences, with the southern districts having much lower rates of exclusive breastfeeding
and higher rates of pre‐lacteal feeds than the eastern districts. Cultural differences may explain this, as the
districts are of different ethnic groups. Additionally, the southern area is more urban, so this may reflect
mothers leaving their children while they work outside the home. Finally, practices do vary a bit by
socioeconomic group, with poorer mothers much less likely to provide the minimum number of solid or semi‐
solid foods than wealthier mothers. Formative research will need to focus on better understanding these
differences.
Which are the most vulnerable groups? Why?
In the aftermath of the war, there are many households that are female‐headed or youth‐headed that have
less access to resources than those headed by an adult male. Women, in general, have fewer rights than men
and are frequent victims of violence.
