DNA sequencing determines the order of nucleotides in a DNA segment. The first generation methods developed in 1977 were Maxam-Gilbert and Sanger sequencing, with Sanger becoming the most common. Next generation sequencing now includes Illumina, which is the most widely used, as well as PacBio and Nanopore third generation real-time single molecule techniques.

Deciphering DNA sequences is essential for virtually all branches of biological research. With the
advent of capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based Sanger sequencing, scientists gained the ability to
elucidate genetic information from any given biological system. This technology has become widely
adopted in laboratories around the world, yet has always been hampered by inherent limitations in
throughput, scalability, speed, and resolution that often preclude scientists from obtaining the essential
information they need for their course of study. To overcome these barriers, an entirely new technology
was required—Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), a fundamentally different approach to sequencing
that triggered numerous ground-breaking discoveries and ignited a revolution in genomic science.

Telehealth Psychology Building Trust with Clients.pptxThe Harvest Clinic
Telehealth psychology is a digital approach that offers psychological services and mental health care to clients remotely, using technologies like video conferencing, phone calls, text messaging, and mobile apps for communication.
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council

CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V - ROLE OF PEADIATRIC NURSE.pdfSachin Sharma
Pediatric nurses play a vital role in the health and well-being of children. Their responsibilities are wide-ranging, and their objectives can be categorized into several key areas:
1. Direct Patient Care:
Objective: Provide comprehensive and compassionate care to infants, children, and adolescents in various healthcare settings (hospitals, clinics, etc.).
This includes tasks like:
Monitoring vital signs and physical condition.
Administering medications and treatments.
Performing procedures as directed by doctors.
Assisting with daily living activities (bathing, feeding).
Providing emotional support and pain management.
2. Health Promotion and Education:
Objective: Promote healthy behaviors and educate children, families, and communities about preventive healthcare.
This includes tasks like:
Administering vaccinations.
Providing education on nutrition, hygiene, and development.
Offering breastfeeding and childbirth support.
Counseling families on safety and injury prevention.
3. Collaboration and Advocacy:
Objective: Collaborate effectively with doctors, social workers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care for children.
Objective: Advocate for the rights and best interests of their patients, especially when children cannot speak for themselves.
This includes tasks like:
Communicating effectively with healthcare teams.
Identifying and addressing potential risks to child welfare.
Educating families about their child's condition and treatment options.
4. Professional Development and Research:
Objective: Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in pediatric healthcare through continuing education and research.
Objective: Contribute to improving the quality of care for children by participating in research initiatives.
This includes tasks like:
Attending workshops and conferences on pediatric nursing.
Participating in clinical trials related to child health.
Implementing evidence-based practices into their daily routines.
By fulfilling these objectives, pediatric nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal health and well-being of children throughout all stages of their development.

2. DNA SEQUENCING
• DNA sequencing is used to determine the order of nucleotides in a
DNA segment, genome, or microbiome.
• The steps needed to obtain the order of nucleotides depend on the
sequencing method chosen, with common techniques including
Sanger, Illumina, PacBio and Nanopore sequencing.
History of DNA sequencing:
• The history of DNA sequencing can be divided into several
generations, each characterized by its own techniques and
technological advancements.
3. First generation sequencing:
• The first major breakthrough in DNA sequencing was achieved in 1977
when two methods – Maxam-Gilbert and Sanger sequencing – were
developed.
• Sanger sequencing proved to be more accurate, robust and easier to
use, so quickly became the most common technology used to sequence
DNA, and remained so for many years. The method is also known as
chain termination sequencing, and relies on the incorporation of
dideoxynucleotides into the DNA strand during replication.
4. Next generation sequencing:
• Sanger sequencing is still used around the world today, but has been
largely superseded by next generation or high throughput sequencing
techniques, which can be divided further into second and third
generation methods.
Second generation sequencing
• The second generation of DNA sequencing began with the
introduction of pyrosequencing by a group from the Royal Institute of
Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, in the late 1990s.
5. • Pyrosequencing is based on the detection of pyrophosphate release
during DNA synthesis. It was the first NGS technology to be
commercialized with the introduction of a sequencer by 454 Life
Sciences in 2005. Today the technology has been largely replaced by
more advanced NGS methods that offer a higher throughput.
• One of these techniques is illumina sequencing. It is based on the use
of reversible terminator-bound dNTPs that are incorporated into the
DNA during synthesis, and has undergone several improvements since
the launch of the first sequencing machine in 2007. Nowadays,
illumina sequencing is the most widely used NGS technology.
6. Third generation sequencing
• As we'll see below, Illumina sequencing requires a DNA amplification
step, which has several disadvantages. Different research groups have
therefore explored real-time, single-molecule sequencing, leading to the
introduction of the two third generation sequencing techniques from
Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT).
• PacBio sequencing monitors the incorporation of nucleotides by a
polymerase enzyme in real-time, whereas Nanopore sequencing uses
nanopores embedded in lipid membranes. When single-stranded DNA
(ssDNA) molecules pass through these pores, electrical signals that vary
depending on the base sequence of the molecules can be detected.
