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.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
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.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

1. “Whatever the mind of man can conceive & believe it can achieve” – Napoleon Hill
Personal effectiveness is a branch of the self help movement dealing with success, goals,
and related concepts.
A primary differentiating factor is that Personal Effectiveness proponents generally take a more
systematic approach including a number of factors besides simple positive thinking. Some
proponents take an approach with similarities to business process management techniques.
Others may take a holistic spiritual and physical wellness approach.
Many of the ideas behind the personal effectiveness movement derive from the field of business
and management. Luminaries like Peter Drucker, W. Edwards Deming, and Genichi
Taguchi revolutionized business and industry in the mid-20th century by focusing on such
concepts as quality, efficiency, and optimization. In particular, Drucker‟s ideas of “Management
by Objectives” as explained in his 1954 book 'The Practice of Management' emphasized the
importance of clarity of roles, responsibilities, and expectations. They also outlined the
framework of SMART goal setting.
Common traits of Personally Effective People
Take responsibility for their own learning and development
Make effective plans and decisions in relation to life and work
Increase their effectiveness in life and work through enhanced interpersonal skills
Acquire the necessary skills to analyze and evaluate key issues
Develop an understanding of personal responsibility in relation to health, hygiene and safety

31 Golden Rules on How to Prioritize Your Task (Brian Tracy)
1. Work On Your Most Important Task
Identify and work on your most important task – one which will have maximum positive
impact on you / your life first thing in the morning. Make this a habit.
2. Learn from Experts
Find out what experts are doing and do the same thing till you get the same results.
People who do things better than you aren‟t necessarily better than you. They just do
things better/differently.
3. Be Selective
Don‟t work on whatever comes up. Choose what you are going to work on.
4. Don’t Think; Just Do
Don‟t spend too much time thinking about important tasks you don‟t like. Letting the task
be or ignoring it or staring it is not going to make the task any easier. Just get going.
Begin the task and complete it without thinking much about it.
5. Get Addicted in a Positive Way
Whenever you finish your most important/difficult tasks, endorphins get released in your
brain – they make you feel good about yourself. Get addicted to these endorphins. Get
addicted to the rush and satisfaction of completing important tasks.
6. Get Clear
Lack of clarity leads to procrastination. When you know clearly what you are supposed
to do and why, it motivates you and pushes you forward to take the next step towards
your goals.
7. Plan In Advance – The 10/90 Rule of Personal Effectiveness
10% of time you spend in planning and organizing your work before you begin will save
90% of time in getting the job done once you get started. Take some time to plan your
work before beginning your day (preferably plan the night before).
Think on Paper.
8. Work From A List
Always work from a list. You increase your productivity and output by 25% once you start
doing everything from your list. Create a master list, monthly list, weekly list and daily list.
7. 9. Follow The 80-20 Rule
As per the 80-20 Rule, 20% of tasks you do give you 80% of results. If you have 10
items to do, 2 items from that will be worth way more than the rest 8 items put together.
What are those 2 items for you?
All 10 items from your list can take same amount of time. However, each item gives
different results. The average person procrastinates on the 2 items – on the 20% which
gives you most results. What activities are you focusing on?
Refuse to work on tasks which fall under the 80% until you are done working on the 20%
10. Obey The Law of Forced Efficiency
The law of forced efficiency says that “There is never enough time to do everything,
but always enough time to do the most important thing.” Work on things that matter since
no matter how much you do, you will always leave some tasks pending.
11. Ask Yourself These Three Questions for Maximum Productivity
o 1. What are my highest value activities?
o 2. What can I and only I do that if done well will make a real difference?
o 3. What is the most valuable use of my time right now?
12. Procrastinate Creatively … Procrastinate On Purpose
There is never going to be enough time for you to do everything on your list. Most people
procrastinate unconsciously – by choosing to do certain things, theyprocrastinate the
rest of things. Because of procrastinating without thinking, they procrastinate on their
most important tasks – ones which could have a greater positive impact on their lives
and careers. Instead, procrastinate knowingly, procrastinate deliberately on activities
which produce low or negligible results.
13. Say No
No is the most powerful word in time management, the most important word in your
vocabulary – need I say more?
14. Use The ABCDE Method Continually
Assign a A, B, C, D or E to each task based on it‟s importance. Prioritize tasks under
each letter by setting a numerical sequence. Follow the Letter – Number combination.
Never pick a B activity when A is yet undone. Never pick a C activity when B is yet to be
done … so on and so forth.
o A consists of all your frogs
o B consists of all „should do‟ activities
o C consists of „nice to get done‟ activities
o D consists of tasks which should be delegated
o E consists of tasks which should be eliminated
8. 15. Focus On Your Key Result Areas
Identify and determine those results that you absolutely, positively have to get to do your
job well, and work on them all day long.
16. Strengthen Your Weakest Link
Each job will have 5-7 key result areas. Your weakest key result area is the limit at which
you can use all your skills and abilities (similar to the strength of a chain is in it‟s weakest
link). To get better results, strengthen your weak areas.
17. Apply The Law Of Three
Write down your three most important goals in life right now in 30 seconds. Whether you
are given 30 seconds or 30 minutes, the answer is usually the same. This is because
when you are given only 30 seconds, your subconscious kicks in and gives you the
answer you need quickly.
The Law of Three can be applied anywhere in your life. Follow this exercise – write down
answers to each of these questions in 30 seconds … be quick
o 1. What are your three most important business or career goals right now?
o 2. What are your three most important family or relationship goals right now?
o 3. What are your three most important financial goals right now?
o 4. What are your three most important health goals right now?
o 5. What are your three most important personal and professional development
goals right now?
o 6. What are your three most important social and community goals right now?
o 7. What are your three biggest problems or concerns in life right now?
18. Create A Work Friendly Environment
Prepare thoroughly before you begin: Have everything you need at hand before you
start. Assemble all the papers, information, tools, work materials, and numbers you might
require so that you can get started and keep going.
19. How Do You Eat A Elephant? – One bite at a time.
How do you finish a huge project? One step at a time. You can complete any kind of
project – no matter how overwhelming if you focus on completing just one step at a time.
20. Become A Life Long Student
Feeling of inadequacy, lack of confidence leads to procrastination. Work on mastering
your field, your core competencies to increase productivity. Lead your field.
Three Steps to Mastery
o 1. Read at least one hour
o 2. Upgrade your skills. Learn from experts, take seminars/courses/ workshops etc
… anything which can keep you updated. Dedicate yourself to become one of the
most knowledgeable and competent person in your field
9. o 3. Make most of your driving time. Listen to audio programs in your car.
21. Eliminate Your Key Constraints
What is holding you back? Identify a single major constraint which is slowing you down
or is the reason you procrastinate. Put all your energy into eliminating that constraint.
Apply the 80-20 rule to constraints. 80% of constraints usually are internal – which
means they are workable. Identify the top 20% of constraints amongst these and get set
to remove them.
22. Set deadlines
Deadlines beat procrastination and get you going. Set imaginary deadlines if you must.
And see how fast you eat your frogs.
23. Maximize Your Personal Power
Figure out when are you physically and mentally most productive. Schedule your
important and tough tasks at this time.
Sleep well, eat well and work out well. How rested and physically fit you are directly
impacts the quantity and quality of your work.
24. Motivate Yourself – Be Your Personal Cheerleader
Psychologist Nathaniel Branden defines self esteem as “the reputation you have with
yourself”. How you feel about yourself plays a central role in how you perform. Control
your inner dialogue. Use positive affirmations. Don‟t say/think things which make you
doubt yourself or make you fearful.
25. Become A Optimist
Martin Seligman, author of Learned Optimism states that optimism is the most important
quality you can develop for personal and professional success. Optimism can be learned
through practice and repetition. Here are four special behaviors all optimists have -
o 1. Look for good in all situations
o 2. Seek valuable lesson in every set back or difficulty
o 3. Look for solution to every problem
o 4. Think and talk continually about your goals
26. Be Master Of Technology & Not Slave
Technology if used unwisely can be a huge time waster. Don‟t get addicted to
technology. Detaching from technology from time to time can help you center and focus
on things that matter.
Apply 80-20 Rule To Technology. Only 20% of all emails you get are important. Out of
those 20%, only 20% need immediate response. The rest can be put aside for batch
processing.
27. Create A Zone Of Silence
Create zones of silence during your day to day activities. Schedule for technology free
10. hour in morning and noon. It will help you to center and relax your mind. It will help you
to recharge your batteries.
You can take this further and schedule for technology free days as well.
28. Use The Slice And Dice Approach
There are two ways to use the slice and dice approach to work on huge projects -
o 1. Work on one slice of project per day and then carry on with other activities.
o 2. Work for one slice of time (15 min, 30 mins, 1 hour … whatever time you
decide) and then carry on with other activities.
Over a period of time, you will be able to complete the project without experiencing a lot
of resistance from your side.
29. Create Large Chunks Of Time
Identify when do you have large chunks of free time and assign it to important tasks.
Plan the rest of tasks around this time. Schedule activities to ensure they get done.
30. Make Most of Gifts of Time
Flight time, waiting time etc are what author refers to as gifts of time. You get free,
undisturbed time while flying or waiting. Plan in advance what work you can accomplish
at times like this.
31. Complete What You Start
Once you start a task, don‟t stop till you are 100% done. Work with single focus. When
you have identified and are working on your most important task, doing anything else in
between is a waste of time. Discipline yourself to work without distraction on the task in
hand till it is 100% completed.
