Our body is made of lot of polymers, e.g. Proteins, enzymes, etc. Other naturally occurring polymers like wood, rubber, leather and silk are have wide application. Now a day synthetic polymer like useful plastics, rubbers and fiber materials are synthesized. Leo Baekeland patented the first totally synthetic polymer called Bakelite (1910). Bakelite is a versatile, durable material prepared from low-cost materials phenol and formaldehyde and was the most important synthetic polymer material. In the 1920s Hermann Staudinger showed that polymers were high-molecular-weight compounds held together by normal covalent bonds.
The suffix in polymer ‘mer’ is originated from Greek word meros – which means part. The word polymer is thus coined to mean material consisting of many parts or mers. A macromolecule having high molecular mass (103-107u) and generally not a well-defined structure or molecular weight. The macromolecules formed by joining of repeating structural units on a large scale. The repeating structural units are simple and reactive molecules linked to each other by covalent bonds. This process of formation of polymers from respective monomers is called polymerization. Most of the polymers are basically organic compounds, however they can be inorganic (e.g. silicones based on Si-O network).

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
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.

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.

1. Polymer
“Polymer” word is derived from Greek roots “Polus” meaning
many and “Meros” meaning parts.
Definition :
Polymers are high molecular weight chemical compounds
(macromolecules) assembled from a large number of
repeating units called as monomers.
2. Classification of polymers
1. Based on nature of monomers
a) Homopolymers
b) Copolymers
2. Based on the arrangement of monomers
a) Random copolymers
b) Graft copolymers
c) Block copolymers
3. Based on the structure of the polymers
a) Linear
b) Branched
c) Cross-linked
4. Based on thermal response and polymer
property
a) Thermoplastics
b) Thermosets
c) Elastomers
5. Based on the source
a) Natural Polymers
b) Semisynthetic polymers
c) Synthetic polymers
3. 6. Based on the form and use
a) plastics
b) Elastomers
c) Fibers
d) Liquid resins
7. Based on bio-stability
a) Biodegradable polymers e.g. polyesters, proteins,
carbohydrates
b) Non-biodegradable polymers e.g. ethyl cellulose,
HPMC, acrylic polymers, silicones.
4. Copolymer :
Polymer formed from two or more different monomers is called as
copolymer.
- [A – B – A – B – A – B] –
Homopolymer :
Polymer formed from bonding of identical monomers is called as
homopolymer.
- [A – A – A – A – A] –
5. Characteristics for Ideal Polymer
Should be inert and compatible with the environment.
Should be non-toxic.
Should be easily administered.
Should be easy and inexpensive to fabricate.
Should have good mechanical strength.
Should provide drug attachment and release sites for drug
polymer linkages.
6. Applications in Conventional Dosage Forms
Tablets :
- As binders
- To mask unpleasant taste
- For enteric coated tablets
Liquids :
- Viscosity enhancers
- For controlling the flow
Semisolids :
- In the gel preparation
- In ointments
In transdermal Patches
7. Applications in Controlled Drug Delivery
Reservoir Systems
- Ocusert System
- Progestasert System
- Reservoir Designed Transdermal Patches
Matrix Systems
Swelling Controlled Release Systems
Biodegradable Systems
Osmotically controlled Drug Delivery
8. Biodegradable Polymers
Definition :
Biodegradable polymers are defined as polymers comprised of
monomers linked to one another through functional groups
and have unstable links in the backbone.
They slowly disappear from the site of administration in
response to a chemical reaction such as hydrolysis.
9. Synthetic Polymers :
a) Aliphatic polymers
b) Polyphospho-esters
c) Polyanhydrides
d) Polyorthoesters
Natural Polymers :
a) Collagen
b) Albumin
c) Casein
d) gelatin
Environment Responsive Polymers :
a) Thermo-sensitive – Poly acryl amide
b) pH sensitive – Methyl vinyl ether
10. Mechanism of Biodegradation
A. Hydrolytic Degradation :
Breakdown of polymer by water by cleaving long
chain into monomeric acids. This is done by two
ways:
a) Bulk eroding polymers e.g. Polylactic acid
(PLA),Polyglycolic acid (PGA)
b) Surface eroding polymers e.g. Polyanhydrides
B. Enzymatic Degradation :
Exact mechanism is not known but may be due to
lysis of long polymer chain by attaching to it.
11. Factors affecting Biodegradation
Polymer morphology
pH & ionic strength
Drug – polymer interaction
Chemical composition and structure
Processing methods and conditions
Presence of chain defects
