The document discusses the use of PROMs (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) in community healthcare settings in Gloucestershire. It describes how PROMs are being used to measure outcomes in podiatry, MSK clinical assessment and triage services, and reablement services. PROMs data provides information on effectiveness, quality improvement, and engagement with over 5,000 individual returns collected so far. Examples shown indicate PROMs data is used to inform clinical practice, share information with GPs, and evaluate the impact of services like reablement on patient health and social outcomes.
The document discusses leveraging technology to improve the Cochrane review process and better deliver evidence to end-users. It proposes moving from a traditional review model to a continuous learning model that incorporates individual patient data, produces more personalized evidence, and accounts for rapidly evolving digital technologies and health apps. Specific ideas include using n-of-1 trials for chronic pain, evaluating eHealth interventions during development, and conducting large virtual cohort studies using diverse data sources. The goal is to generate the most sound individual and population-level evidence through open, linked data and continuous review methods.
Dr Ayman Ewies - Clinical guidelines: a cross sectional survey of obstetricia...AymanEwies
This document summarizes the results of a survey of obstetricians and midwives at two hospitals - a teaching hospital and district general hospital - regarding their knowledge, use of and attitudes towards clinical guidelines for maternity care. The survey found that most staff preferred using a mixture of guidelines and their own experience. There were some differences in attitudes between the two hospitals, with more staff at the district hospital agreeing that guidelines help use the most up-to-date knowledge. The major barrier to following guidelines reported by most respondents was lack of comprehensiveness. Suggestions to improve adherence included using bullet points, more frequent updating and shorter guidelines.
The document discusses medication administration and dosage calculations. It covers assessing the client and medication prescription, the different measurement systems used, how to perform conversions between units, checking medication labels, administering injectable powders according to directions, commonly used dosage calculation formulas, and examples of calculations for intravenous fluids and intramuscular injections. The goal is to provide nurses with guidance on properly preparing and administering medications to clients.

The MoveM8 study evaluated strategies to promote physical activity in the workplace using email and SMS messages. Study 1 was a randomized controlled trial that involved sending weekly personalized emails plus two standard SMS messages per week to employees in the experimental group. Study 2 examined reasons for employee participation or non-participation through interviews. Preliminary results found a significant increase in job-related and leisure-time physical activity for the experimental group. However, the study also encountered problems with low participation and survey response rates. Overall, the MoveM8 intervention showed encouraging results but had limitations that could be addressed in a future version through improved formative research, incentives for participation, and consideration of competition from other programs or barriers.

The project will implement a quality improvement approach at 11 health facilities in 4 districts, using techniques like identifying problems, testing changes, and measuring improvements. The goal is to enhance nutritional assessment, counseling, and care for clients at each visit.
The document discusses health infrastructure and services in Jammu, India. It provides details on various hospitals in Jammu, including GMC Bakshi Nagar, SMGS Hospital, and CD Hospital. It then outlines the research methodology used in the study, including defining the problem, literature review, objectives, hypotheses, research design, data collection through surveys, data analysis through pie charts, findings and conclusions. It was found that there are significant differences in effectiveness between hospitals and consumer satisfaction with health services in Jammu is low. Suggestions are provided to improve areas like staff efficiency, infrastructure, technology and cleanliness.
This document provides guidance on how to conduct a successful clinical audit as a junior doctor. It discusses that clinical audit measures practice against standards to assess whether the right things are being done in the right way. The document outlines the five stages of the audit cycle and emphasizes that for an audit to be effective it should have support from hospital leadership, be part of a structured program, involve multiple disciplines, include patients, and use standards from clinical guidelines. Repeating audits is important to assess if improvements were successfully implemented.
The mission statement sets the direction and priority for developing and implementing the quality plan. It clearly states the nature of the organization’s commitment to quality and should then be tied to the organizational operations through programs, projects, actions and rewards/recognition.

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.
One health condition that is becoming more common day by day is diabetes.
According to research conducted by the National Family Health Survey of India, diabetic cases show a projection which might increase to 10.4% by 2030.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
