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.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

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.

4. HALF DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP A
Tuesday 10th October 2017
Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London, UK
08.30 - 12.30
The future of drug pricing
Workshop Leader:
Ad Rietveld, Director, RJW & partners
John Spoors, Associate Director, RJW & partners
Workshop overview:
Pharmaceutical innovation is forcing payers and companies
to rethink their pricing objectives and methodologies for setting
and deciding on price. More and more ultra-orphan drugs are
entering the market, often at very high price levels creating
difficulties for healthcare systems to cope with the associated
costs of these products. At the same time, personalised
medicine is developing with the first gene therapies having been
introduced or in late stages of clinical development. Companies
are confronted with the issue of how to price these treatments to
recoup their investment costs while payers need to think about
the affordability of these new treatments. A basic rethink of
pricing and funding models is required.
Why should you attend?
To understand the likely future pricing environment for specialty
pharmaceuticals and how to optimally prepare for expected
changes in this environment
Programme
08.30 Registration and Coffee
09.00 The current pharmaceutical pricing landscape
10.00 Product innovation and its impact on traditional
pricing and funding methodologies
10.30 The future pharmaceutical pricing landscape
11.00 Morning Coffee
11.30 Potential future pricing models for high cost
specialty products
12.00 Other product support that is likely to play a role
in future payer decision-making on price and
funding

5. HALF DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP B
Tuesday 10th October 2017
Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London, UK
13.30 - 17.30
Using Real World Evidence (RWE) to translate
expedited regulatory approval into faster
reimbursed patient access
Workshop Leaders:
Janice Haigh, VP Pricing & Market Access,
PAREXEL Access Consulting
Oliver Leatham, Vice President, Global Head of Pricing &
Market Access, PAREXEL Access Consulting
Richard Macaulay, Principal Consultant,
PAREXEL Access Consulting
Workshop overview:
This workshop would include an overview of the current
situation by PAREXEL followed by presentations from
representatives of two HTA payer bodies e.g. NICE and
IQWiG/G-BA to provide their perspectives on how RWE
can be best utilized to meet this emerging market access
challenge.
Programme
13.30 Registration & Coffee
14.00 Regulators are reducing evidentiary demands for
marketing authorization through a range of new
expedited approval pathways
14.45 There are a range of innovative therapies coming
to market that will likely be approved through
such pathways (CAR-T cell therapies, immuno-
oncology agents, and gene therapies) based
on very early clinical data packages, with the
potential for transformational patient benefits but
where substantial uncertainty remains
15.30 Afternoon Tea
16.00 Payers, whom are increasingly demanding more
robust evidence to justify price premiums, will find
it very challenging to appropriately price and
reimburse such therapies
16.30 How companies navigate this emerging
evidentiary gap between regulators and payers
to obtain faster reimbursement will be increasingly
key to ensuring market success
17.00 RWE offers an opportunity to fill these evidentiary
gaps by examining how these medicines are used
and perform in the real world. However, there have
been challenges in how such data is collected,
analyzed and utilized in payer decision-making.
