Nearly 800 children drown in the US each year, most often in pools during summer months for young children and in natural waters for older children. Supervision is critical for water safety, as drowning can occur silently in under a minute. Parents should never leave young children unattended in water and designate a "water watcher" if supervising multiple children. Teaching children water survival skills like floating and swimming can help save their lives if they fall in unexpectedly.
This document outlines pedestrian safety tips for children. It states that unintentional pedestrian injuries are a leading cause of death for children ages 5-19. It provides tips for children such as looking left, right, left before crossing; walking facing traffic if no sidewalk is available; holding an adult's hand in parking lots; and not running into the street. The document emphasizes teaching children safe pedestrian habits and properly supervising them until their traffic skills are sound.
Home safety is important to prevent the 2,200 child deaths and 3.5 million emergency room visits due to injuries that occur in the home each year. The document provides tips to improve safety in several areas: store all medications, cleaners, and small objects up high and out of reach of children; use approved sleeping devices for infants and check smoke alarms regularly; secure TVs, furniture, and gates to prevent falls; and safely store firearms and talk to children about gun safety. Being aware of potential hazards specific to one's own home is key to improving safety.
Child Passenger Safety is important for protecting children in vehicles. Statistics show that unintentional injury is a leading cause of death for children ages 1-19 in the US. In 2014, over 602 children ages 12 and younger died in motor vehicle crashes, and many were not properly restrained. South Carolina data from 2013 found that 49% of child passengers were not properly restrained. It is recommended that children rear-face until age 1 and weighing 20 pounds, forward face from 1-5 years old and 20-40 pounds, and use a booster seat from ages 1-5 and 40-80 pounds. Common mistakes in child passenger safety include using an improperly installed or uninspected seat. Heatstroke from being
Bike safety is important, as evidenced by the 98 children killed in biking accidents in 2014. Wearing a properly fitted helmet can reduce head injuries by 45%, but less than half of children usually wear one. When choosing a bike, it should fit the child now and allow them to touch the ground. Parents should supervise children, teach them road rules, and ensure they ride safely in the right areas and with the proper gear, especially at night or in low visibility. Being distracted or without a helmet puts children at higher risk.

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.

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.
