The document summarizes a research project that aims to:
1. Test an HRV-based health monitoring system (IMI-HCS) under real-world conditions and integrate customer feedback from Europe.
2. Study the relationship between HRV parameters and nutritional state.
3. Describe benefits of the system for healthy and diseased clients and define group-specific details.
In this review our aim is to discuss the potential benefi ts of resistance training in healthy subjects and patients with cardio-metabolic disease. In the last decades, evidence about the pivotal role of muscle tissue and proper muscle functionality in health and disease have been accumulating. Sarcopenia and muscle wasting have erected as a fi rst-order risk predictor, and strength and muscle mass now constitute good markers of functionality and quality of life. Therefore, aside of its evident mechanic and aesthetic considerations,muscle tissue deploys a wide range of endocrine and metabolic functions, which are essential for health optimization and disease prevention. As follows, strategies directed to improve muscle quality and quantity, as it is Resistance Training regimens, should be
prioritized and included in clinical guidelines and general health advice.

Effect of cardiac rehabilitation program on lifestyle pattern of patients wit...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that examined the effect of a cardiac rehabilitation program on lifestyle practices of patients who had a myocardial infarction. The study included 50 adult patients admitted to hospitals in Mansoura, Egypt. Patients completed a questionnaire before and after a cardiac rehabilitation program that provided education on managing risk factors and lifestyle. The results found that after the program, patients showed highly statistically significant improvements in various lifestyle practices like nutrition, exercise, medical follow-up, health management skills, and coping with stress/emotions. This suggests that cardiac rehabilitation programs can positively influence lifestyle changes in patients with myocardial infarction.
Elderly compliance to physical therapy programs is an important issue, as noncompliance can lead to negative health outcomes. Studies have found that one-third to two-thirds of patients are not fully compliant with prescribed exercises. The Health Belief Model and Self-Determination Theory can help explain factors influencing compliance. Key factors include a patient's perceived susceptibility, severity of their condition, barriers/benefits to treatment, and level of intrinsic motivation. Improving patient education and autonomy support can increase long-term compliance to physical therapy programs.
This document discusses the role of physical activity and exercise in aging populations. It covers factors for successful aging, characteristics of study populations according to physical activity levels, and the health benefits and goals of exercise for both younger-old and older-old age groups. The document also summarizes studies on the relationship between physical activity and reduced risks of mortality, cardiovascular disease, and other health outcomes. It provides guidelines for endurance and resistance training programs as well as screening recommendations for exercise in older adults.
The role of exercise and physical activity in weight loss and maintingGabriel J Santos
This document discusses the role of exercise and physical activity in weight loss and maintenance. It finds that:
1) Unless overall exercise volume is very high, clinically significant weight loss is unlikely from exercise alone and will be highly variable between individuals.
2) Exercise has an important role in preventing weight regain after initial weight loss. Aerobic exercise consistent with public health guidelines may result in modest average weight loss of around 2 kg.
3) Clinicians should educate patients on reasonable weight loss expectations based on their physical activity program and emphasize the many health benefits of exercise regardless of weight loss.
Effect of Walking on Fasting Blood Sugar in Type 2 Diabetesiosrjce
This study examined the effect of 30 minutes of walking on fasting blood sugar levels in 25 male and female adults with type 2 diabetes who were on regular treatment for over one year. Fasting blood sugar levels were measured before and after 30 minutes of walking. The results found a significant decrease in fasting blood sugar levels after 30 minutes of walking compared to without walking, with a p-value of less than 0.001. The study concluded that 30 minutes of walking a day can help control blood sugar levels and plays an important role in managing type 2 diabetes.

The document discusses several key points about factors that impact bone health and injury risk for female athletes and military personnel:
1) Nutrition, training load, and other lifestyle factors are interlinked and influence bone health and risk of injury, rather than individual factors alone. Inadequate intake of key nutrients can limit the benefits of exercise on bone health.
2) Past injuries increase future risk of re-injury, highlighting the importance of addressing underlying nutrition, training, and other issues to aid recovery and prevent reoccurrence.
3) Nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and protein work together synergistically to support bone health, so optimizing one without others may not improve outcomes. A whole diet approach is
Healthy aging is a multidimensional process influenced by genetics, lifestyle, environment and healthcare factors. It involves maintaining physical and cognitive function to allow well-being in older age. Key aspects of healthy aging include regular health assessments, nutrition, exercise, managing chronic conditions, mental health, vaccination, sleep, and injury prevention. Geriatric assessments evaluate multiple health domains. Nutrition, exercise, stress management and preventing smoking and excessive drinking promote healthy aging. Public health policies also play a role by supporting factors like financial security, housing, mobility and social connections in older adults.
This document provides a summary of the American Dietetic Association's position on weight management. It endorses lifelong commitment to healthful lifestyle behaviors through sustainable eating and daily physical activity for successful weight management. It discusses goals of weight management, which go beyond numbers to also include prevention of weight gain and improvements in health. It also covers assessment of obesity, which involves measuring BMI, waist circumference, medical history, psychological factors, and nutrition intake to develop a care plan.
The document discusses a client named Glenn who underwent pre-screening that revealed high risk during exercise due to medical conditions. An exercise program was implemented based on GP recommendations to help manage his conditions and reduce disease risks. Pre-screening methods are discussed as an effective way to reduce adverse events during exercise.
Effect of Eight Weeks Conditioning On Body Mass Index of College StudentsIOSR Journals
This study examined the effects of an eight-week conditioning program on the body mass index (BMI) of 50 male college students aged 17 to 23 years old. The students participated in conditioning exercises six days per week for one hour each session. BMI was measured before and after the eight weeks through pre- and post-tests. The results showed that the mean BMI decreased significantly from 25.66 to 24.30, indicating that participation in regular conditioning exercises can be effective for lowering BMI in college students.

Literature Review is conducted to demonstrate the reduction of hyperglycemia events after the implementation of an inpatient multidisciplinary glucose control management program.
Created Info-graphic to exhibit the ways to manage diabetes through education, counseling, meal/diet, and exercise and potential comorbidities in the diabetic patient that undergoes surgeries.
1) No studies were found that measured quality of life as an outcome of interventions aimed at improving adherence in type 2 diabetes patients.
2) The interventions studied mainly included diabetes education, nurse-led interventions, and pharmacist-led interventions.
3) Nurse-led interventions were found to increase adherence to medication, diet, and glucose monitoring. Pharmacist-led interventions also increased medication adherence.
4) Patient education interventions were found to improve quality of life, though it was not directly measured as an outcome of improved adherence.
The document discusses the roles of physical activity and exercise in improving health and fitness, and preventing disease. It recognizes clinical exercise physiology (CEP) as a healthcare profession that uses exercise to manage chronic conditions. Australia has established an excellent accreditation model for exercise professionals through Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA). ESSA accredits exercise scientists, clinical exercise physiologists, sport scientists, and high performance managers, and ensures quality training through university course accreditation. The editorial encourages further interdisciplinary research on exercise and sports medicine to improve practice and services for communities.
This document discusses lifestyle predictors of healthy aging in men based on multiple studies. It finds that higher levels of physical activity, maintenance of a normal BMI, favorable diet like Mediterranean or high fruit/vegetable intake, avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol/stress are associated with longer survival, healthier aging, and lower risk of mortality. Moderate levels of social engagement and cognitive activity may also support longevity and delay cognitive decline. The key features of "super seniors" who age very successfully include excellent physical and cognitive functionality, minimal health issues, youthful appearance, and positive self perception of health.
Perceived barriers to exercise in people with spinal cord injury igbenito777
This document summarizes a study that surveyed 72 individuals with spinal cord injuries about perceived barriers to exercise. The top barriers reported were lack of motivation, lack of energy, cost of exercise programs, lack of knowledge about where to exercise, and lack of interest. Barriers related to accessibility of facilities and lack of knowledgeable instructors were also commonly reported. Those with tetraplegia reported greater concerns about exercise difficulty and health limitations. Reporting more barriers was associated with higher stress levels. The study aims to identify barriers to help increase participation in exercise, which can improve health outcomes for those with spinal cord injuries.
This document provides a literature review on the metabolic syndrome and the effects of resistance training on risk factors for the metabolic syndrome. It begins with definitions and descriptions of the metabolic syndrome, its components, diagnosis, prevalence, and pathophysiology. It then discusses resistance training and its effects on strength, muscle mass, and disease prevention in the elderly population. The literature review examines the effects of resistance training on insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, blood pressure, lipid profile, and potential mechanisms of effect. It notes inconsistencies in findings and questions about clinical significance. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a short-term, high-repetition resistance training protocol on metabolic syndrome risk factors in elderly adults.
This document discusses malnutrition in hospitalized patients. It provides background on malnutrition, its causes and symptoms. It then summarizes several studies that were conducted to better understand malnutrition in hospitals. The studies looked at factors like food intake, nutritional status, reasons for poor intake, and interventions to address malnutrition. They involved patients from a range of age groups, from infants to the elderly. The studies highlighted how common malnutrition is in hospitals and its negative impacts on patient outcomes like increased mortality. They stressed the importance of early identification and treatment of malnutrition.

Greater dietary fibre intake is associated with a lower risk of both cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease. Findings are aligned with general recommendations to increase fibre intake.
This document summarizes diabetic neuropathy and physical therapy interventions. It defines diabetic neuropathy as nerve damage caused by diabetes, affecting around 50% of type 2 diabetics. Symptoms vary but can impact mobility, sensation, and other body systems. The document outlines screening and assessment tools for neuropathy and recommends therapeutic exercises, neuromuscular re-education, pre-gait training, and modalities to improve sensation and functional mobility. The goal is to enhance somatosensory processing and reduce complications like foot ulcers.
This study evaluated adherence to dietary and lifestyle recommendations in 77 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) bariatric surgery. The study found that only a minority of patients adhered to the recommended protein intake of at least 60 g per day at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery. Half of patients met the physical activity recommendation of at least 150 minutes per week at each time point. Adherence to supplementation recommendations was higher, ranging from 57.1-100% across time points. Adherence was generally medium to high but was not significantly associated with excess weight loss of at least 60% at 12 months.
This study examined the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) compared to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on metabolic syndrome and body composition in 56 outpatients with metabolic syndrome who had a myocardial infarction and completed cardiac rehabilitation. The HIIT group showed greater reductions in metabolic syndrome risk factors including waist circumference, blood glucose, triglycerides, and blood pressure compared to the MICT group. The HIIT group also demonstrated greater decreases in body fat mass and increases in lean body mass relative to the MICT group. These benefits of HIIT over MICT persisted even after matching the groups for total exercise energy expenditure.

Annotated Bibliography for Sedentary Lifestyles
Jude Kum
DeVry University
Sedentary lifestyle is predominant in our everyday life be it in workplace, school, social or homes and the fact is we have got accustomed to sitting down and doing many things forgetting the impact this is causing to our health. People fail to realize how valuable exercise is in their life and especially in improving their health and well-being. Sitting down on the computer with all focused attention and forgetting that we need to get up and even eat cause problems to many people.
Guedes, N.G., Lopes, M.V., Leite de Araujo, T. Moreira, R.P. and Martins, L.C. G. (2010). Predictive Factors of the Nursing Diagnosis Sedentary Lifestyle in People with High Blood Pressure. Public Health Nursing. Vol. 28 No. 2, p. 193-200. Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
The research question for the study conducted by Guesdes, et al (2010) is based on the following: 1.what is the result of the defining characteristics and related factors of sedentary lifestyle diagnosis in patients with high blood pressure? 2. What are the predictive value and possible predictors of the nursing diagnosis sedentary lifestyle in patients with high blood pressure? The study looked at the validation of diagnostic groupings of the population being studied including aspects of their clinical situations. The study looked at diagnosis resulting from insufficient physical activity, intolerance of activity, fatigue, impaired physical mobility, self-care deficit.
My assessment: Using this article, I will bring out the important indicators and useful predictors for identification of sedentary lifestyle; demonstrated the benefits of physical fitness, verbalized preferences for activities that are to accomplish real training or exercises. I will point out appr.
The document discusses a study that explored healthy lifestyle behaviors and behavior change strategies among nursing and physiotherapy students. A survey found that most students wanted to improve their healthy lifestyles, primarily for health reasons. Students implemented self-chosen behavior change strategies like goal setting and self-monitoring over 12 weeks. Most students reported making positive changes and intended to continue them. The experience increased students' awareness of promoting healthy lifestyles and willingness to recommend strategies to future patients.
Digital technologies may increase physical activity levels and long-term adherence. Regarding dietary behaviour, sedentary older adults are at risk of protein deficiency if their protein intake is limited. These facts will serve as the basis for developing novel approaches, strategies and guidelines.

Impact of a designed nursing intervention protocol on myocardial infarction p...Alexander Decker
This study examined the impact of a designed nursing intervention protocol on myocardial infarction patients' outcomes at a university hospital in Egypt. Forty adult myocardial infarction patients were included. The study found that after exposure to the nursing intervention protocol, patients had significantly higher total mean knowledge scores and total mean practice scores. It also found that patients had medium to high levels of compliance to lifelong instructions. The results support the hypotheses that the nursing intervention protocol improved patients' knowledge, practices, and compliance.

It presents various modalities of diabetes care including non-pharmacological/non-interventional approaches like exercise, stress management, foot care, education, self-monitoring of blood glucose, smoking cessation, and diet. These lifestyle factors are interconnected and impact glycemic control and health. Regular physical activity, stress management, foot care education, self-monitoring, and smoking cessation can all effectively, safely, and affordably improve health outcomes for diabetics when implemented as part of a comprehensive care program.
The document discusses the emerging role of diet coaching in obesity treatment and weight management. It notes that while dietitians receive training in nutrition science, they often lack skills in behavior change and coaching needed to help clients maintain long-term weight loss and lifestyle changes. The document argues that dietitians should receive additional training in techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and health coaching in order to more effectively promote sustainable behavior change and wellness among clients.
Assess The Effect of Resistance Training Compared To a Weight Loss Diet Progr...IOSR Journals
To evaluate the effect of a Resistance training program (BT) versus weight loss diet (DR) on body composition, insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular risk factors in obese adolescents. Methods: Thirty obese adolescents with a BMI above the 97th percentile participated in a training program and diet for 12 weeks. They were randomized into two groups: a diet group (DR, n = 16) with a caloric restriction of 500 kcal / day and Strength training group (BT, n = 14) for all major muscle groups, three sessions / week with an intensity of 50-80% (1.RM) for 3 months. Anthropometric and biochemical measurements were performed for all of our subjects before and after the intervention program of 12 weeks. Results: Significant variations of body composition parameters were observed in both groups. The decrease of BMI, body weight, fat mass and (WC) for the group (DR) was more important than the group (BT) (p <0.01><0.05><0.05)),><0.05).><0.05) respectively). Conclusion: Strength training improves much more the sensitivity to insulin and cardiovascular risk factors than weight loss diet program. The latter is more effective for weight loss, BMI and body fat in obese adolescent boys.
The overall goal of Healthy People 2020's Nutrition and Weight Status objectives is to promote health and reduce chronic disease risk through consumption of nutritious diets and maintenance of a healthy body weight. The objectives seek to address individual behaviors as well as policies and environments that support healthy eating and weight in various settings such as schools, workplaces, and healthcare organizations. Interventions can help increase knowledge and access to healthier food options while also providing opportunities for physical activity in order to prevent unhealthy weight gain and related health risks. One specific objective aims to increase the percentage of primary care physicians who regularly assess patient BMI to help address obesity.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Health Outcomes, and Health Care Costs: The Case f...Matti Salakka 🐠
Physical inactivity is becoming a world-wide epidemic – and the consequences can be both costly and deadly. This was outlined by Dr. Jonathan Myers who, citing a range of studies and recent research results, was able to show hard-hitting data related to the correlation between fitness (or lack thereof) and poor health. Myers argues fitness may well be a better marker than traditional risk factors for CVD and all-cause mortality. Amongst the eye-opening findings presented to the audience was that, for the first time, global deaths-per-year due to physical inactivity are higher than for smoking.
This paper examines the impact of targeted health education on patient health using outpatient facility data from 2008-2011. The analysis finds that targeted health education, which addresses a patient's specific health condition, has a more significant positive effect on patient health than general health education. Probit estimations show that patients who received targeted health education linked to their condition were less likely to be unhealthy and more likely to be healthy. The results indicate the importance of focusing health education on a patient's individual needs rather than providing broad information.

Diabetic Care
Introduction
The organization I am affiliated with is a correctional facility. It houses over 300 detainees with some being newly diagnosed diabetics. The officers need training because the facility doesn’t have 24-hour nursing and they are responsible for letting the detainees check their blood sugar levels at night and providing snacks. There is increasing interest in quality improvement strategies to improve diabetic management.
The purpose is to provide ongoing preventive care through new activities which will allow us to identify and interfere in the advancement of diabetes while in jail.
The current problem is over half the time the nurses are unaware of the people who have diabetes unless they puts in a medical request which sometimes takes days. The jail has an intake process of getting booked into jail but does not have a medical intake process. And that’s a big change that needs to happen. The stakeholders who needs to be part of the design and implementation for it to make a difference are the quorum courts, the Sherriff, and the Jail’s Chief Administrator. The risk associated with the change is jail administration have no standard strategies to follow when implementing something new..
Proposal
Patients with a diagnosis of diabetes should have a complete medical history and physical examination by a licensed health care team member in a timely manner. Goals should be individualized depending on the situation. This should be documented in the patient's record and communicated to all persons involved in his/her care, including security staff.
The necessity of the change must be acknowledged and acceptable. Staff must be trained for the new procedures. A training curriculum must explain the role, its technical procedures, its strengths and weaknesses, legal requirements, and professional relationship standards. The success of this project prompts conversation with the major, chief and the sheriff. With the organizational adaption and staff involvement the implementation of the change should be successful (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2018).
People with diabetes should obtain care that meets national standards. Being incarcerated does not change these standards. Patients must have right to medication and nutrition needs to manage their disease. In patients who do not meet treatment goals, medical and behavioral plans should be adjusted by health care providers in collaboration with the prison staff (Worswick, Wayne, Bennett, Fiander, Mayhew, Weir, & Grimshaw, 2013).
It is critical for correctional facilities to identify patients in need of more intensive evaluation and therapy, including pregnant women, patients with advanced complications, a history of repeated severe hypoglycemia, or recurrent DKA (ADA, 2011).

Critical Appraisal Summary
Diet and physical activity ...
This clinical practice guideline from the Endocrine Society provides recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA). FHA is a form of chronic anovulation caused by stress, weight loss, excessive exercise or a combination thereof, rather than identifiable organic causes. The guideline recommends excluding other causes through medical history, examination and laboratory tests before diagnosing FHA. Treatment involves correcting energy imbalance through increased caloric intake and/or decreased exercise, as well as psychological support. Short-term hormone therapy may be considered if menses do not return with lifestyle changes alone.

Abstract
Background: The impact, within a single cohort, of independent modulators of skeletal muscle quality, including age,
adiposity and obesity, habitual nutritional intake, and physical activity (PA), is unclear.
Objective: We examined the bivariate associations between age, adiposity, habitual nutritional intake, and PA against
11 key intrinsic muscle-tendon unit (MTU) characteristics to identify the strongest predictors. We also compared overall
profile differences between MTU categories with the use of z scores shown in radar graphs.
Methods: Fifty untrained independently living men (n = 15) and women (n = 35) aged 43–80 y (mean ± SD: 64 ±
9 y) were categorized by adiposity [men: normal adiposity (NA) <28%, high adiposity (HA) ≥28%; women: NA <40%,
HA ≥40%] and body mass index [BMI (in kg/m2); normal: 18 to <25; overweight: ≥25 to <30; and obese: ≥30].
Group differences were examined by body composition assessed with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry,
habitual nutritional intake through a 3-d food diary, PA (work, leisure, sport) using the Baecke questionnaire, 14 serum
cytokine concentrations using multiplex luminometry, and 11 MTU characteristics of the gastrocnemius medialis using
a combination of isokinetic dynamometry, electromyography, and ultrasonography.
Results: Interestingly, classification by BMI highlighted differences between normal and obese individuals in 6 of 11
MTU characteristics (P < 0.001 to P = 0.043). No significant differences were reported in serum cytokine concentrations
between adiposity and BMI classifications. BMI predicted 8 of 11 (r = 0.62–0.31, P < 0.001 to P = 0.032), daily energy
intake predicted 7 of 11 (r = 0.45–0.34, P = 0.002–0.036), age predicted 5 of 11 (r = −0.49–0.32, P < 0.001 to P = 0.032),
work-based PA predicted 5 of 11 (r = 0.43–0.32, P = 0.003–0.048), and adiposity predicted 4 of 11 (r = 0.51–0.33,
P < 0.001 to P = 0.022) MTU characteristics. Mathematical z scores and radar graphs showed how endocrine and
dietary profiles, but not PA, differed between the top and bottom ∼20% of muscle unit size and specific force.
Conclusions: Given the number of factors associated with MTU, education should be targeted to.

This research article summarizes a study that investigated the effects of homeopathically prepared thyroxin solutions on the metamorphosis of highland frogs from the two-legged stage. Researchers treated frogs with thyroxin that was diluted through steps of 1:50,000 to concentrations between 10-11 and 10-21 or with an analogously prepared water control. They found that frogs treated with the thyroxin solutions metamorphosed more slowly than the control frogs, taking 2-13.5% longer on average to reach the four-legged stage. This inverse effect compared to untreated thyroxin supported previous findings and the idea in homeopathy that highly diluted substances can produce effects opposite to the original substance.
This study examined the effects of craniosacral therapy (CST) on heart rate variability (HRV) in 31 patients with subjective discomforts. HRV was measured before and after a 30-minute control rest period and a 30-minute CST session on consecutive days using a mobile device. Standard deviation of heart rate intervals (SDNN) and total power (TP), indicators of autonomic nervous system activity, increased significantly after CST but not the control rest. Heart rate also decreased significantly after CST compared to rest. However, interactions between treatment and HRV changes were not fully statistically significant. The study provides preliminary evidence that CST may positively influence autonomic nervous system regulation.

Abbau von Hemmungen zur Auseinandersetzung mit Todkranken erreicht werden.
Derartige Ausbildungsprogramme ersetzen jedoch nicht kontinuierliche Formen der
Supervision und Fortbildung, wie sie vor allem in solchen Stationen sinnvoll erscheinen,
die einen hohen Anteil an unheilbar Kranken versorgen. Hierzu zählen insbesondere
Supervisions- und Balint Gruppen. Gemessen an den Kenntnissen über die spezifischen
Bedürfnisse Todkranker und Sterbender und ihrer Bezugspersonen, sind nach wie vor
zahlreiche Defizite in der klinischen Versorgung festzustellen, die zu den Belastungen
der Betroffenen und ihres sozialen Umfeldes beitragen. Neben meist supportiven

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). 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.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
