There are several differences between adult and child CPR—it’s important to take note of them.
Interpersonal model & Behavior model
The document provides information on the interpersonal model and behavioral model of mental health. It discusses the key assumptions, principles, techniques, and application of each model. The interpersonal model focuses on how social interactions and relationships influence personality development. It emphasizes anxiety, trust, and security. The behavioral model is based on learning theory and focuses on observable behaviors. It uses techniques like positive reinforcement, systematic desensitization, and assertiveness training to modify behaviors. Both models influence psychiatric nursing practice.
Tracheostomy care
A tracheostomy is an opening in the neck into the trachea that aids breathing. Tracheostomy care includes cleaning the tracheostomy site and changing dressings and inner tubes. The nurse must follow sterile technique, assess the tracheostomy site for signs of infection, clean the inner cannula and site, replace dressings and ties securely, and document the procedure. Tracheostomy care promotes airway patency, prevents infection, and provides patient comfort.
Oxygen therapy. methods of oxygenation

Indications for incubator care include prematurity, low birth weight, hypothermia, sickness, and transportation between locations. The document describes the parts of an incubator and procedures for placing an infant in an incubator and providing ongoing care.
PALLIATIVE CARE
The document discusses fundamentals of nursing palliative care. Nursing and palliative care are natural partners, as all nurses should have palliative care skills. Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for terminally ill patients and their families by preventing and relieving suffering. It involves an interdisciplinary team approach to address physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs. The role of nurses in palliative care focuses on symptom management, especially pain management, and providing 24-hour support.
Legal aspects of disaster nursing.
Nurses face several legal and ethical issues when providing care during disasters and public health emergencies. The codes of ethics for healthcare providers are ambiguous in addressing responsibilities during such times. Nurses may practice in states where they are not licensed, without legal protections, and standard laws around informed consent, advanced directives, and reporting crimes may be challenging to follow under altered circumstances. Some of the key legal aspects nurses must navigate include licensing, emergency powers acts, negligence, good Samaritan laws, and fulfilling duties around consent and reporting.
ECT.pptx
ECT involves inducing seizures through electric currents passed through the brain to treat various mental health conditions. It was first documented in the late 18th century and experimented on humans in the 1930s. Nurses play an important role in educating patients, ensuring safety during the procedure, and providing post-treatment care and monitoring. This includes preparing the patient, observing and supporting them during treatment, and allowing recovery after as side effects like confusion and memory issues may occur. ECT remains a viable treatment option for conditions like severe depression and psychosis when other options have failed.
Respiratory distress syndrome
This document provides information about respiratory distress syndrome in neonates. It defines respiratory distress syndrome and lists its causes as prematurity, maternal diabetes, meconium aspiration syndrome, caesarean section, and pulmonary or non-pulmonary issues. The clinical features, diagnostic measures, management including oxygen therapy, ventilation support, nutrition, and nursing care are described. The prognosis is generally good with timely treatment but complications can include patent ductus arteriosus and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Cerebral aneurysm
This document discusses cerebral aneurysms, which are bulges or ballooning in the walls of blood vessels in the brain. It defines aneurysms, lists their causes such as hypertension and smoking, and describes their signs and symptoms like severe headache and alterations in consciousness. The document outlines how aneurysms are diagnosed using CT scans, MRIs, lumbar puncture, and angiography. It then discusses treatment options for aneurysms like surgical clipping or coiling to repair the damaged blood vessel, as well as medical management using medications. Finally, it lists nursing care for patients with aneurysms such as monitoring vital signs, positioning, and preparing for potential emergency surgery.
Milieu therapy
This document discusses milieu therapy or therapeutic community. It is an environment-based therapy where the social environment is used to provide therapeutic experiences for patients. The goals are to change maladaptive behaviors, promote recovery, minimize hospital stays, and resocialize patients. Key elements include free communication, shared responsibility, active participation, decision-making, and understanding roles. It involves daily community meetings, a patient government, staff meetings, living groups, and learning opportunities. The role of the nurse is to provide and maintain a safe therapeutic environment through modeling, leadership, sharing responsibilities, and ensuring patient needs are met.

Post operative care
The post operative period begins after surgery and focuses on enabling successful recovery. It aims to reduce mortality, length of stay, and costs through quality care. Patients are monitored in the PACU or SICU by nurses. They assess vitals, consciousness, bleeding, pain/anxiety and more to detect complications and ensure stability for discharge. The goal is safe transfer from intensive recovery phases to continued recovery in step-down units or at home with instructions.
Transitional hypothermia in preterm newborns
Newborn hypothermia, especially in extremely preterm infants, remains a significant challenge. Studies show hypothermia rates among preterm newborns below 1500g vary widely, from 31-78%. Currently, the AAP and NRP recommend delivery room temperatures of at least 75°F and avoiding hypothermia or hyperthermia in newborns. More data is still needed but prevention efforts should focus on continuous temperature monitoring, warming delivery rooms, incubators, and educating staff on managing temperatures in preterm infants.

Paediatric spinal-anaesthesia
This document summarizes spinal anaesthesia techniques for children. It notes that spinal anaesthesia provides a good alternative to general anaesthesia for newborns undergoing lower abdominal or lower extremity surgery in the first 6 months of life, as it reduces the risk of postoperative apnea. The technique requires experienced providers due to the technical challenges of performing lumbar puncture in newborns. Spinal anaesthesia is most effective for short surgeries lasting less than 90 minutes. Complications are rare when performed correctly by trained staff, but may include traumatic puncture, respiratory issues, or post-dural puncture headache in older children.
Fetal circulation- panneh
this lecture was presented to the December 2016 Midwifery class of the school for Enrolled Nurses and Midwives- The Gambia.
Newborn Care: Temperature control and hypothermia
Newborn Care was written for healthcare workers providing special care for newborn infants in level 2 hospitals. It covers: resuscitation at birth, assessing infant size and gestational age, routine care and feeding of both normal and high-risk infants, the prevention, diagnosis and management of hypothermia, hypoglycaemia, jaundice, respiratory distress, infection, trauma, bleeding and congenital abnormalities, communication with parents
peadiatric premedication and preparation
Modern Trends in Paediatric Preparation and Premedication discusses:
1. Various risk factors for pre-op anxiety in children and interventions like behavioral and pharmacological approaches.
2. Psychological effects of surgery and anesthesia on children and the importance of pre-medication.
3. Guidelines for monitoring patients under sedation and different levels of sedation.
4. Common drugs used for pre-medication like midazolam, ketamine and fentanyl, their doses, routes of administration and potential complications."
Fetal circulation, Schleich
The fetal circulation has several anatomical shunts that direct blood flow away from the lungs and toward the placenta, including the ductus arteriosus, foramen ovale, and ductus venosus. These shunts orient oxygenated blood to the brain and heart while directing deoxygenated blood to the placenta. After birth, changes in pulmonary vascular resistance and oxygen levels cause closure of the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale, modifying the circulation to prioritize the lungs over the placenta.

FETAL CIRCULATION
This document discusses the fetal circulation system. It defines fetal circulation as the circulation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood and nutrients to the fetus. It describes how the placenta functions as the respiratory center and site of nutrient/waste exchange for the fetus. It details the anatomy and physiology of fetal circulation, including the roles of the umbilical cord, ductus venosus, ductus arteriosus, and foramen ovale in shuttling blood between the fetus and placenta. After birth, these fetal circulatory structures close as the baby transitions to extrauterine life.
Fetal and neonatal thermoregulation
The document summarizes fetal and neonatal thermoregulation. It discusses how the fetal temperature is usually 0.3-0.5°C higher than the mother's due to the fetus's high metabolic rate. At birth, the neonate must rapidly increase heat production through nonshivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue to survive in the cooler extrauterine environment as its temperature drops. The fetus is protected from hyperthermia by inhibitors in the placenta that prevent nonshivering thermogenesis. Disruptions to umbilical blood flow can cause the fetal temperature to rise.
Paediatric anaesthesia practical tips
This document provides an overview of pediatric anesthesia considerations. It discusses key differences in pediatric physiology compared to adults, including higher oxygen consumption and metabolic rate in infants, differences in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and immature hepatic and renal function in young children. It also reviews airway anatomy variations, appropriate tube and LMA sizes, and pharmacokinetic considerations for commonly used anesthetic drugs in pediatrics. The principles of maintaining temperature, adequate oxygenation and IV fluids are emphasized for safe pediatric anesthesia.
The fetal and newborn heart ppp
The document discusses the normal fetal and newborn heart. In the fetus, circulation bypasses the lungs, but with the first breath, circulation changes to allow flow through the lungs as the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale close. Several potential abnormalities of the newborn heart are also outlined, including patent ductus arteriosus where the ductus fails to close, and various septal defects or underdeveloped structures that prevent normal circulation.
Transitional circulation
A very informative ppt on transitional / fetal circulation with details on ductus venosus,foramen ovale and duct dependent circulation.
Cardiac development & fetal circulation (2)
The document summarizes cardiac development and fetal circulation. During cardiac morphogenesis, the heart forms from clusters of cells on either side of the embryo that fuse to form the primitive heart by day 22. The heart then undergoes looping and septation to form the four chambers. In fetal circulation, blood bypasses the lungs via the ductus arteriosus and bypasses the liver via the ductus venosus to reach the placenta for gas and nutrient exchange. Blood then returns to the heart via the umbilical vein and inferior vena cava before mixing in the atria via the foramen ovale.
Richie sanam
This document discusses guidelines for preoperative fasting in patients undergoing procedures requiring anesthesia. It outlines recommendations for fasting times for various foods and liquids in adults, children, and special populations. The primary goal of preoperative fasting is to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration by allowing time for gastric emptying. However, prolonged fasting can increase risks of dehydration, hypoglycemia, and patient dissatisfaction. The document reviews techniques to decrease gastric volume and increase gastric pH as additional measures to prevent aspiration during induction of anesthesia.

Normal Fetal circulation
The document summarizes fetal circulation, which involves two umbilical arteries carrying deoxygenated blood to the placenta, one umbilical vein carrying oxygenated blood from the placenta, and several shunts that bypass the lungs and liver including the ductus venosus, foramen ovale, and ductus arteriosus. At birth, the transition to postnatal circulation occurs rapidly initiated by the baby's first breath, which causes changes including the closing of the shunts.
Fetal circulation by dr.srikanta biswas
The fetal circulation differs from the adult circulation due to the presence of three major vascular shunts that allow blood to bypass the lungs. The placenta functions as the fetus's lungs, exchanging oxygen and nutrients between the mother's and fetus's blood without mixing. At birth, changes in lung function and vascular resistance cause the shunts to close as circulation transitions to the adult pattern with blood flowing to the lungs.
Hypothermia
Hypothermia is common in trauma patients and those exposed to cold environments. It can be accidental, primary, secondary, or therapeutic. Mild hypothermia between 32-35 degrees Celsius is used for neuroprotection, while moderate (28-32 degrees) is used for cardiopulmonary bypass. Physiologic changes associated with hypothermia include coagulopathies, metabolic effects, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, and effects on the cardiovascular, immune, and coagulation systems. Treatment follows the ABCDE approach - ensuring a patent airway, warming humidified oxygen, warm IV fluids, monitoring for hypoglycemia, and passive or active external rewarming depending on severity.

Competencies rcn workbook
This document provides an introduction and overview of capillary blood sampling and venepuncture in children and young people. It acknowledges the expert group and review group that assisted in the development of the document. The document aims to assist practitioners in developing the necessary underpinning knowledge to perform blood sampling competently on children and addresses various topics like professional and legal issues, gaining consent from children, preparing oneself and the child, addressing needle phobia and pain relief options.
Anxiety perceived by children during venipuncture
Introduction: When it comes to paediatric patients undergoing venipuncture, it should be every phlebotomist’s nurse’s top goal
to reduce a child’s fear, pain, and distress. Most children have some fear of needles. When a child’s level of distress in
anticipation of the venipuncture is on the rise, it can be a rather difficult task for the nurse and parent to make the blood
collection process go over smoothly!
Methods: This study was conducted using a descriptive correlational design among 181 children who met the inclusion criteria
using purposive sampling technique. Data collection was done using Demographic, Clinical Variables Proforma and Modified
Venham’s Anxiety Scale.
Results: The findings revealed that 42.5% of the children had moderate anxiety, 7.7% had worst anxiety and 1.10% had no
anxiety during venipuncture. The study findings revealed significant association between the anxiety and age of the child at the
level of (P < 0.05)
Current Management Trends for Minimal / Mild Hearing Loss in Children
This document discusses considerations for managing children with minimal/mild bilateral hearing loss. It notes that while there is consensus that children with moderate or worse bilateral hearing loss benefit from amplification, guidelines are less clear for other groups like those with minimal/mild bilateral loss. The document outlines factors to consider in deciding whether amplification could benefit individual children with minimal/mild bilateral loss, such as audiological profile, ear canal size, hearing aid output, child development, and family support. It also discusses tools like the Situational Hearing Aid Response Profile that can help evaluate how amplification might improve access to speech in different environments.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
This document discusses autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including its definition, prevalence rates in different countries, and treatment approaches. The prevalence of ASD was higher in Denmark (65.8 per 10,000 children) compared to Western Australia (41.1 per 10,000) and Japan (3 per 1,000 children). Applied behavior analysis and various therapies are used to treat ASD, while medications can help reduce associated behaviors. Occupational therapists, speech therapists, and nurses all play roles in assessing and supporting individuals with ASD to improve skills and manage behaviors. While the cause of ASD remains unknown, early diagnosis and treatment can help those affected live quality lives.

Gatti & Koepp 3rd Draft
This document discusses the need for more evidence-based research on the effects of hippotherapy on communication and language disorders in speech-language pathology. It provides a brief overview of hippotherapy and its recognized use by various therapy associations. Although limited research specifically examines impacts on speech and language, the literature from physical and occupational therapy demonstrates positive effects in areas like sensory integration and motor skills that relate to foundations for communication. These findings provide theoretical support for hippotherapy as an intervention approach in speech-language pathology by targeting domains like oral-motor function, respiration, and cognition, but more experimental research is still warranted.
Pediatric Hearing Aid Management - Ear and Hearing
This study investigated parent needs for learning support related to hearing aid management for young children. 318 parents of children ages 3-51 months who wore hearing aids completed surveys. The surveys addressed parent education received, desired support, hearing aid use challenges, communication with audiologists, and symptoms of depression in parents. Results showed that while most parents received education, about a third wanted more information on various topics. The most common use challenges were child activities/behavior and fear of losing/damaging aids. Regression analysis found fewer reported hours of hearing aid use when parents had depression symptoms, lower income/education, or children had mild hearing loss or disabilities. The study concludes understanding parent experiences can help audiologists better support families in managing hearing
Pediatric Hearing Aid Management - Ear and Hearing
This study investigated parent needs for learning support related to hearing aid management for young children. 318 parents of children ages 3-51 months who wore hearing aids completed surveys. The surveys addressed parent education received, desired support, challenges with hearing aid use, communication with audiologists, and parental depression symptoms. Results showed that while most parents received education, about a third wanted more information on various topics. Common challenges to hearing aid use were child activities/behavior and fear of losing/damaging aids. Hearing aid use was variable, with 42% of children using aids all waking hours on good days. Regression analysis found fewer reported hours of use when parents had depression symptoms, lower income/education, or children had mild hearing loss or
Perineal trauma at childbirth
This chapter discusses the historical context of perineal trauma during childbirth from ancient times to the 1900s. Perineal injury has been documented as far back as 2050 BC in ancient Egyptian mummies. Early writings from Soranus and Trotula advocated for perineal suturing following trauma. However, perineal repair was not routinely practiced. The introduction of forceps delivery and episiotomy in the 1700-1800s increased perineal trauma and led to more focus on repair. By the late 1800s, practitioners were advised to suture all trauma, but local anesthesia was not used for repair until the early 1900s. Midwives received little formal training on perineal care until
NRS 350 Final Poster
This document discusses several studies that have examined the impact of family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) on healthcare providers (HCP). One study found that 42.6% of HCP reported increased stress levels when family members were present, though another larger study found no significant difference in HCP stress levels with or without family presence. Some HCP worry that family presence could lead to distractions or disruptions during resuscitation efforts. However, other research has shown no increase in legal claims against HCP when family members witnessed resuscitation attempts. Overall, the document examines different perspectives on the debate around FPDR and its effects.
article midwifery
This study examined antenatal counseling for congenital anomaly tests provided by midwives in the Netherlands using video recordings. The study aimed to 1) describe the focus on health education, decision-making support, and relationship building during counseling, 2) describe client versus midwife contributions, and 3) explore how client characteristics related to counseling. Counseling focused more on health education than decision-making support. Midwives contributed more than clients across functions. Counseling of multiparous women was shorter and contained less health education and decision-making support than for nulliparous women. The findings suggest midwives should reflect on how they individualize counseling based on client characteristics.
ADT Nurse
1) The document discusses implementing an Admission, Discharge, Teaching (ADT) nurse role on a postpartum floor to improve patient satisfaction, nurse satisfaction, and safety. Studies show the ADT role increases time for direct patient care and reduces workload.
2) The ADT nurse would help with admissions, discharges, teaching, and follow-up calls. This would free up floor nurses to spend more time with patients.
3) Based on the evidence, the author recommends considering staffing one ADT nurse daily initially to help with teaching classes and follow-up calls, which should improve satisfaction, and help with other tasks as time allows.

Improving support for women with musculoskeletal conditions during pregnancy,...
The document discusses support needs for women with musculoskeletal conditions during pregnancy, planning for pregnancy, and early parenting. It finds that women with long-term limiting illnesses are more likely to have unplanned pregnancies and negative pregnancy outcomes, and their children are more likely to develop illnesses. While the vast majority adapt well, targeted support with health behaviors could help outcomes. The document also examines challenges for women with chronic pain or autoimmune diseases parenting young children, and calls for more integrated care and information on pregnancy planning and parenting with these conditions.

Symptoms vary depending on the location of the ulcer but can include burning pain relieved by food or antacids. Complications are hemorrhage, perforation, and gastric outlet obstruction.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Ppt May 2005
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes two conditions, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, characterized by chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. The cause is unknown but may involve infectious, autoimmune, or genetic factors. Ulcerative colitis specifically involves diffuse inflammation and ulceration of the innermost lining of the large intestine and rectum, usually beginning in the rectum and spreading upwards. Common symptoms include bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain. Complications can include hemorrhage, strictures, and toxic megacolon. Crohn's disease causes segmented inflammation that can involve any part of the digestive tract but most commonly the ileum and colon. It is characterized by deep longitudinal ulcers and thickening of the
Gastrointestinal Problems
The document discusses gastrointestinal problems including the acute abdomen, bowel obstruction, and bowel cancer. It provides details on causes, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment for each condition. The acute abdomen can result from many causes including trauma, infection, and inflammation. Bowel obstruction occurs when contents cannot pass through the GI tract and may be mechanical or non-mechanical. Bowel cancer is common and symptoms vary depending on location but can include bleeding, fatigue, and weight loss. Treatment involves surgery and screening is important for early detection.
Cancer Ppt 2008
Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and can affect many parts of the body. In New Zealand, cancer is a leading cause of death, with the most common cancers being lung, prostate, colorectal, breast and lung cancers. Maori have higher mortality rates from cancer compared to non-Maori. Cancers are caused by defects in cellular proliferation and differentiation as well as environmental and genetic factors. Cancer cells spread via metastasis which can occur early for some cancers or later for others. The immune system plays a role in detecting cancer cells but cancers can evade immune response.
Caregiver (3)
The document discusses the importance of self-care for caregivers. It notes that caring for others who are ill can heighten one's awareness of their own losses and mortality. It emphasizes the need to take care of oneself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually in order to avoid burnout and remain effective. Some signs of burnout and compassion fatigue are listed, along with suggestions for building self-esteem.

They worked collaboratively to manage Phil's multiple symptoms and provide care in both inpatient and home settings. The case highlights both the successes and challenges of coordinating care among different providers and adapting to Phil's changing needs over time. It also emphasizes the importance of effective teamwork, communication, and maintaining trust within the palliative care team.
Bio Review For Diabetes
Carbohydrates are the preferred fuel for metabolism, generating the most ATP per molecule. Fats can be converted to glucose or vice versa and are the second preferred fuel. Proteins are an inefficient fuel and deplete the body's protein stores. Insulin stimulates storage of glucose as glycogen, inhibits gluconeogenesis, enhances fat deposition, and increases protein synthesis after meals. Glucagon has opposite effects, stimulating glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and lipolysis to increase blood glucose levels during low blood sugar. The endocrine system regulates blood sugar levels through the opposing actions of insulin and glucagon on the liver, body cells, and fat cells.
4 Rheumatoid Arthriis 2010
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the synovial joints. It affects all ethnic groups and can occur at any time in life, though incidence increases with age and it is more common in women. While the specific cause is unknown, it is believed to involve an abnormal immune response triggered by an antigen that leads to the formation of autoantibodies and immune complexes that damage joints. Long-term inflammation and damage to joints can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and deformities like subluxation. It may also affect other body systems.
4 Osteo Arthritis 2010
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease. It is a non-inflammatory disorder affecting synovial joints that results from cartilage damage within the joints. Over time, the damaged cartilage leads to thinning of cartilage and bone growths around the joint margins. This causes pain, stiffness, and deformity of the joints. The most commonly affected joints are those in the hands, hips, knees, and lower back. Symptoms include joint pain that worsens with use and is relieved by rest, crepitus, and morning stiffness.
4 Fractures 2010
This document describes fractures, including their classification, healing process, treatment methods, and potential complications. Fractures are breaks in bone continuity that can be open or closed. Treatment involves reduction, immobilization with casts or devices, and monitoring for complications like infection, compartment syndrome, blood clots, and fat embolism syndrome. Fracture healing is a multi-stage process of hematoma formation, new tissue growth, callus formation, bone consolidation and remodeling over several weeks or months.
Htn Heart Failure 2010
This document discusses hypertension and heart failure. It defines hypertension as a blood pressure over 140/90 mmHg and describes primary (essential) hypertension as having no known cause, while secondary hypertension has an identifiable underlying medical cause. Heart failure means the heart cannot pump enough blood and it can be systolic, from impaired contraction, or diastolic, from impaired filling. Signs of heart failure include fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention in tissues.
Burns 2010
The document discusses different types of burn injuries including thermal, chemical, smoke inhalation, and electrical burns. It describes the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations in the emergent and acute phases after a burn. Key aspects are fluid and electrolyte shifts leading to shock in the emergent phase and wound healing through debridement, grafting, and rehabilitation in the acute phase. Complications include infection and contractures.
Diabetes 2010
Diabetes mellitus is a multisystem disease related to abnormal insulin production or impaired insulin utilization. It commonly affects Maori and Pacific Islanders at higher rates and is a leading cause of various health complications. The two main types are type 1, characterized by a lack of insulin production, and type 2, characterized by insulin resistance or impaired insulin utilization. Both can lead to acute complications involving abnormal blood sugar levels and chronic complications affecting blood vessels and various organs over time if not properly managed.
Stroke 2010
Stroke occurs when there is inadequate blood flow to the brain resulting in cell death. It is a leading cause of death and disability. There are two main types - ischemic caused by clots or blockages cutting off blood flow, and hemorrhagic caused by bleeding within or around the brain. Strokes cause deficits varying by location but often involve motor, communication, cognitive and emotional impairments. Risk factors include hypertension, smoking, obesity, age, and heredity.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
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.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Nutritional deficiency disorder in Child
