The NCRI aims to provide comprehensive cancer data and intelligence through collecting detailed information on incidence, treatment, and survival from multiple sources to accurately tell the story of cancer in Ireland.
Mobile Phone Applications for Diet and Weight Controljetweedy
This document outlines a presentation on obesity and self-monitoring mobile apps. It discusses how obesity has doubled globally since 1980 and is a major health problem. Self-monitoring apps allow users to track food intake, physical activity, and weight over time. The document examines features of these apps, such as inputting diet and exercise data and outputting nutrition assessments. However, many apps lack evidence-based content and scientific validation of their effectiveness. Some research studies are highlighted that have found mobile apps can help with weight loss when combined with support from dietitians and personalized recommendations.

Prevention of cardiovascular disease: Professor Jamie Waterall, National Lead...NHS England
1) The single largest modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in England is high blood pressure.
2) Every 10 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure significantly reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart disease, stroke, and heart failure.
3) Public Health England is committed to preventing cardiovascular disease through initiatives like their "Getting Serious about CVD Prevention" program, which highlights priorities like engaging over 1 million adults on their heart health and continuing to provide oversight of the NHS Health Check programme.
This document summarizes the challenges of managing data quality in an integrated public health surveillance system and proposes solutions. Historically, databases were siloed but integration provides benefits like reduced redundancy and standardized data collection. Electronic lab reporting increases standardization but also volume and velocity of data. Defining clear data quality roles, accountability, documentation, training, and standardized processes can help address current roadblocks. Metrics, flowcharts, and trainings on concepts like roles and responsibilities are proposed to improve data integrity and quality management going forward.
This document discusses consumer health wearables such as activity trackers and discusses their usefulness, limitations, and challenges.

A correlation study to determine the effect of diabetes self management on di...Kurt Naugles M.D., M.P.H.
Self-Management in this presentation refers to those activities people undertake in an effort to promote health, prevent disease, limit illness, and restore well being. Several investigators contend that self-management be made a major component of many patient health-care strategy (Glasgow, et al., 2001; Wagner, et al., 2001). Currently, nearly 125 million Americans suffer from chronic debilitating illnesses (Anderson, 2000). These national figures clearly underscore the need to develop a multidimensional approach in regards to disease management. Accordingly, measures that incorporate the patient’s perspective in managing his or her health should be explored.
Diabetes mellitus is among those conditions suspected to be highly influenced by self-management activities (Sprangers, et. al., 2000). If benefits do indeed exist, they need to be fully evidenced. The investigation presented here sought to examine the role self management plays in the health outcomes of individuals living with diabetes.

The document summarizes screening results from the Mobile Diabetes Screening Initiative (MDSi) that screened 624 Métis participants in Alberta, Canada between 2003-2005. Key findings include:
1) High rates of pre-diabetes (50% of adults, 13% of children), undiagnosed diabetes (4% of adults, 5% of children), overweight/obesity (32%/50% of adults, 10%/50% of children), and metabolic syndrome (50% of both adults and children) were found.
2) Risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease were very high, consistent with screening in other First Nation communities.
3) Continued screening
Rationale and design of the Mobile Diabetes Screening Initiative (MDSI) for A...Kelli Buckreus
The Mobile Diabetes Screening Initiative (MDSi) provides diabetes screening and education services to remote and off-reserve Aboriginal communities in Northern Alberta. MDSi screens for diabetes, cardiovascular risk factors, and diabetes complications using portable equipment. They have screened over 1700 people total, finding high rates of pre-diabetes, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, and elevated blood pressure. The screening helps reduce barriers to healthcare access for these communities and provides diabetes education.
The document discusses the benefits of a multi-disciplinary diabetes centre model of care compared to other models. A diabetes centre provides comprehensive care through a team that includes doctors, nurses, dietitians, podiatrists, and other specialists. This coordinated model results in better screening and management of complications, standardized processes, shorter wait times, and more flexibility compared to a clinic-based model with rotating doctors. The author argues the centre model can better serve the complex needs of people with diabetes.

Parallel Session: A Little Exercise a Day Keeps the Doctor AwayNHSScotlandEvent2013
You’ve probably heard the old saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’. Well, did you know that even a little light daily exercise actually keeps the doctor away? Not even our fickle weather or the midges can deter ill-health from visiting Scots earlier than in any other western European country. As a result we now must think and act differently, learning to create health alongside treating disease. This session offers clear solutions and an opportunity for all to get involved in the drive to achieve a more active and healthier Scotland. Delegates were invited to be the catalyst for change – by spreading the physical activity message throughout their work settings, by becoming more active themselves and by encouraging their families and friends to get active.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
