Nordic Innovation is an institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers that is located in Oslo and has approximately 25 employees from the five Nordic countries. It hosted a presentation on developing Nordic health and welfare innovation through increased collaboration between the public and private sectors. The presentation discussed continuing the existing lighthouse project on public procurement and innovation, potentially widening the scope thematically and in terms of involvement. It proposed that a new Nordic effort could develop common principles for health innovation, set challenges to solve common issues, promote service innovation, and prioritize areas of greatest value from Nordic collaboration such as innovative public procurement in the health sector.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
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.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

From 2011 we have run a Nordic Lighthouse project on procurement and innovation in the health sector – linked to the cooperative program for 2011 to 2013. It has been about the public health sector as smart procurer – about creating Nordic networks, sharing best practice, dialogue between procurers and suppliers, pilots and cooperation projects. Together with our cooperation partners, we launched a call: “The Nordic region as frontrunner in innovation procurement in the health sector”(meromprosjektenefinansiertgjennomcall’enpåneste slide)
3 projects were funded through the call we had last autumn. Will not go into details with the projects. There will be videos running in the breaks explaining what these projects are about – please connect with the project leaders and learn from the projects. The three projects are:The first project is a network between leading hospitals in the Nordic region, also involving suppliers. The project will develop activities within best practice, network/dialogue conferences, developing guidelines and tools - and dissemination activities.2. The second has the ambition to create a change to a more holistic perspective in procurement and focus on prevention. 3. The last project is a combined training program in innovation procurement and market dialogue network within health.
We want to focus on how the public sector can drive innovation together with the private sectorThe public sector can – through smart demand – at the same time drive the development of health services (up here), and also be a driver for innovation in the private sector (here). So we have both innovation in the public sector and in the private sector in mind with the new effort. It is important that the public sector defines the need, and communicates wise – and united – specifications to the market – reducing the problem of fragmented demand. This is a long term investment – to utilize private and public sector resources in order to solve society’s challenges. How we are going to do that is what we are gathered here to discuss. Your input is vital input when Mona and Arvid will work on the next step.I would like to invite Mona and Arvid to the stage to present themselves.
Good to see so many old and new friends here today!We want to see the Nordic Region as a global leader in health. We want to stimulate cooperation between the public and private sectors. It is about knowledge sharing, competence building, common projects, developing specifications togetherIt is about dialogue between procurers and between procurers and suppliers. And it is about alliances between suppliersWe want to move in the direction of a common Nordic home market -
The content will be developed during 2013 in cooperation with Nordic stakeholders, experts, at the high level meeting, at workshops, in dialogue sessions and meetings with businesses, etc.Could a new effort build on developing new tools and methods based on the following ideas?Development of common principles or guidelines for health and welfare innovation like a “public procurement charter”Defining and setting up Nordic challenge competitions within designated themes and areas to solve specific common challenges Development of common service innovation activities as a tool for the public sector to solve health challenges smarter Prioritization of areas and themes within health innovation where Nordic collaboration will create most value
