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 DiseaseHealth Advances
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.

Parenting Teens: 5 Ways to Promote a Healthy Body Image
1. Parenting Teens: 5 Ways to Promote a
Healthy Body Image
Adolescence famously known as the teenage years is a time of great changes, where individuals
go through numerous changes. Parenting adolescents is just as rewarding and challenging. As
these teens go explore the various challenges of their adolescence like that of identity, social
pressures, and self-esteem, parents indeed play a very important role in supporting their kids in
these times. Their support is especially important in promoting a healthy body image.
Teenage is the time when body image issues usually surface, and it is absolutely important to
provide appropriate support and guidance to your child.
In this article, we will explore five key ways for parents to foster a positive body image in their
teens, helping them develop a strong sense of self-worth and confidence. But before that, let us
understand what causes body image issues.
Introduction
Adolescence is a time of significant physical and emotional changes. It’s when teens start
forming their self-concept, and their perception of body image becomes increasingly important.
As parents, your role is pivotal in shaping how your teen views themselves and their bodies. Here
are five strategies to help you navigate this crucial aspect of parenting.
What Causes Body Image Issues in Teens?
2. Body image issues among teens are complex and can stem from a variety of factors, both internal
and external. These issues often result from the confluence of societal, familial, and personal
influences. Here are some key contributors to teen body image concerns:
1. Media Influence
The media, including magazines, movies, and social media platforms, frequently perpetuate
unrealistic beauty standards. Airbrushed images and filtered selfies create unattainable ideals,
leading teens to compare themselves to these digitally altered images.
2. Peer Pressure
Adolescents are acutely aware of their peers’ opinions and behaviors. Peer pressure to conform to
certain appearance-related norms can lead to body dissatisfaction and a desire to fit in.
3. Family Dynamics
Family attitudes and comments about body size and appearance can significantly impact a teen’s
self-esteem. Critical or overly appearance-focused family environments can contribute to body
image issues.
4. Personal Identity Development
During adolescence, teens undergo significant physical and emotional changes as they form their
identities. These changes can make them more sensitive to their appearance and how they are
perceived by others.
3. 5. Bullying and Teasing
Experiences of bullying or teasing related to one’s appearance can have a lasting impact on body
image. Negative comments from peers can erode self-esteem and contribute to negative self-
perception.
6. Cultural and Societal Norms
Different cultures and societies may have distinct beauty ideals. Teens growing up in a culture
that prizes specific attributes may feel the pressure to conform to those standards.
7. Mental Health
Underlying mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, or eating disorders, can intensify
body image concerns. These conditions may distort one’s self-perception and exacerbate negative
thoughts about their body.
8. Trauma and Life Events
Traumatic experiences or significant life events can trigger body image issues as a way for teens
to cope with their emotions or regain a sense of control.
Understanding the multifaceted nature of teen body image issues is crucial for parents, educators,
and caregivers. By addressing these factors and fostering open communication, we can provide
the support and guidance necessary to help teens develop a healthy and positive body image.
Here are 5 Ways to Promote a Healthy Body Image:
1. Open and Non-Judgmental Communication
Effective communication is the cornerstone of healthy parent-teen relationships. It’s crucial to
create a safe and non-judgmental environment where your teen feels comfortable discussing their
thoughts and concerns about their body image. Here’s how you can do it:
Active Listening: Pay close attention when your teen talks about their feelings regarding their
body. Avoid interrupting, and validate their emotions. Let them know you hear and understand
them.
Ask Open-Ended Questions: Instead of closed questions that warrant a simple “yes” or “no”
answer, ask open-ended questions that encourage your teen to share their thoughts and
feelings more openly.
Empathize: Try to understand their perspective and emotions. Empathy can go a long way in
making your teen feel supported and less alone in their struggles.
2. Promote Media Literacy
Today’s teens are bombarded with images of idealized beauty through media channels, including
social media, magazines, and television. These unrealistic portrayals can negatively impact a
teen’s body image. Encourage media literacy by:
4. Critical Viewing: Watch television and movies or scroll through social media together.
Discuss how images are often edited or manipulated to create unrealistic standards of beauty.
Highlight Diversity: Emphasize the importance of diversity in body types and appearances.
Show your teen that beauty comes in various shapes, sizes, and colors.
Limit Screen Time: Encourage a healthy balance between screen time and physical activities.
Excessive exposure to unrealistic images can harm self-esteem.
3. Set a Positive Example
As a parent, your actions and attitudes toward your own body have a profound influence on your
teen. It’s crucial to demonstrate a healthy body image yourself:
Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself and avoid self-criticism. Your teen learns
from your self-talk and behavior.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Make health-focused choices rather than appearance-focused
ones. Emphasize the importance of nutritious food and regular exercise for well-being rather
than solely for appearance.
Avoid Negative Body Talk: Refrain from making negative comments about your body or
others’ bodies. This helps your teen understand the importance of respecting and valuing all
body types.
4. Encourage Healthy Habits
Promoting a healthy body image isn’t just about appearance but also about nurturing overall well-
being. Encourage your teen to adopt healthy habits for the right reasons:
Balanced Nutrition: Teach the importance of nourishing their bodies with balanced meals.
Emphasize that food is fuel for a healthy and active life.
Physical Activity: Encourage regular physical activity for fitness, energy, and stress relief,
rather than solely for weight control.
5. Adequate Sleep: Ensure your teen gets sufficient sleep as it is crucial for physical and
emotional well-being.
5. Seek Professional Help When Needed
Despite your best efforts, some teens may struggle with body image to the point where it affects
their mental and physical health. It’s essential to recognize when professional help is needed.
Look out for signs such as:
Extreme changes in eating habits, such as binge eating or extreme dieting.
Excessive focus on appearance or weight.
Signs of depression or anxiety related to body image.
Withdrawal from social activities or friends.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to consult with a mental health professional who
specializes in body image and eating disorders. Early intervention can make a significant
difference in your teen’s well-being.
Conclusion
For a balanced emotional and psychological development of your kids, it is important that you
help them through the challenges of adolescence and develop a healthy body image. If you keep
fairly open communication, promote media literacy, set positive examples, encourage healthy
habits, and seek timely professional help, helping your child build a healthy body image and a
sense of comfort and confidence would be like a cakewalk. Remember that your unwavering
support and guidance can make a lasting impact on their self-esteem and overall well-being,
setting them on a path to a confident and healthy future.
