This document summarizes a presentation on health care consent and advance care planning given by Judith Wahl from the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly. The presentation is divided into two parts, with part one covering health care consent basics and part two focusing on advance care planning. It discusses key concepts like informed consent, substitute decision-makers, and the difference between advance care plans and health care consent. Questions from participants are addressed during the webinar.
The document discusses the importance of health education in empowering people to live healthy lifestyles and make informed health decisions. It outlines national health goals established by Healthy People to improve health and reduce disparities among different groups. Developing health literacy by understanding health information is key for individuals to assess their own health needs and care. The goals are to end preventable illness through health promotion and education.
End-of-life decision making is a delicate and often avoided undertaking. āThinking Ahead: Conversations across Californiaā is a project to learn from seniors and providers what worries them about end-of-life planning and decision making. One focus group participant said āI want to have a voice in deciding what the last few weeks of my life will be like. And, I want my wishes to be honored.ā Read the short report to learn what is important to seniors.
National Healthcare Decisions Day is April 16th and encourages all adults to have advance care planning conversations about their end-of-life wishes. By voicing preferences for care, people can avoid pain, loneliness, and feeling like a burden at the end of life. However, most people prefer to die at home but only a third have documented advance directives. This document provides resources like FiveWishes and an online course to help facilitate these important conversations and ensure preferences are known.
This document provides an overview of a training session on introductory awareness of person-centered support. The objectives are to understand the importance of person-centered support, identify advocacy and codes of practice, and evaluate the benefits of a person-centered approach. Examples are given of good and bad practice, and how considering an individual's needs, rights, and choices supports empowerment and well-being. Risk assessment is also discussed as an important part of person-centered care planning.
The Small Steps to Health and Wealth initiative encourages participants to make positive behavior changes to simultaneously improve their health and personal finances. This presentation is a collaborative effort of the Military Families Learning Network and the Child and Family Learning Network.
Small Steps to Health and Wealthā¢ (SSHW) is a national Cooperative Extension program developed by Dr. Barbara OāNeill and Dr. Karen Ensle at Rutgers University that encourages participants to make positive behavior changes to simultaneously improve their health and personal finances. It is believed to be the first long-term program ever developed to motivate Americans to simultaneously apply the same personal behavior change strategies to both areas of their lives. SSHW was developed because many Americans have both health and financial āissues.ā Societal problems that have been widely reported in recent years include an increasing incidence of diabetes, overweight, and obesity, low household savings, high household debt levels, and bankruptcy filings. The SSHW program includes 25 behavior change strategies that people can adopt to address these concerns. Each involves taking small positive steps that people can put into practice on a daily basis. This 90-minute webinar will begin by describing relationships between people's health and personal finances. It will then describe each one of the 25 behavior change strategies and how people can apply them to their lives.

Ā
The document discusses whether everyone has cancer cells in their body. It explains that while our bodies are constantly producing new cells, not all of these cells are destined to become cancerous. A typical healthy cell goes through cycles of growth, division and death, while a cancer cell does not follow this normal cycle and keeps reproducing abnormally. Not everyone inherently has cancer cells in their body from the beginning - it is possible for initially normal cells to eventually develop into cancer cells due to certain risk factors.

Ā
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Ā
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A Userās PerspectiveGolden Helix
Ā
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, weāve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your labās goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

13. Healthcare Decisions Day is a project
started in the USA (2008) used to inspire,
educate and empower the public and
providers (healthcare providers) about
the importance of advance health care
planning.
- an initiative to encourage patients to
express their wishes regarding healthcare
and for providers and facilities to respect
those wishes, whatever they may be.
HEALTHCARE
DECISIONS
DAY
AWARENESS
14. I am glad that America is continually promoting
awareness of the importance of the advance
directives.
In America, April 16 has been declared on
National Healthcare Decisions Day, āpart of a
national campaign to encourage Americans to
complete their advance directives or living wills
and document their desires regarding medical
treatment at the end of life.
ā http://www.nhdd.org
I support this project.
HEALTHCARE
DECISIONS
DAY
AWARENESS
There is NO such
formal and wide-
scale initiative yet in
the Philippines.
15. In the Philippines,
I think we should also have a national campaign
similar to that in the USA to encourage more
Filipinos to make their advance directives or
living wills.
Awareness and advocacy campaigns should be
conducted by both physicians and health care
institutions regardless of specialty.
The campaigns should not be delegated to the
hospice specialists only.
HEALTHCARE
DECISIONS
DAY
AWARENESS
16. Advance care planning starts with talking with
your loved ones, your healthcare providers, and
even your friends - all are important steps to
making your wishes known.
These conversations will relieve loved ones and
healthcare providers of the need to guess what
you would want if you are ever facing a
healthcare or medical crisis.
HEALTHCARE
DECISIONS

AWARENESS
17. Advance directives are the main targets of the
Healthcare Decisions day.
āAdvance Directivesā are legal documents (Living
Will and Healthcare Power of Attorney)
that allow you to plan and make your own end-
of-life wishes known in the event that you are
unable to communicate.

HEALTHCARE

18. As early as 2006, I have made a formal
declaration of my wishes on how I am going to
die. I have made an advance directive or living
will, the other term for an advance directive.
I have been regularly updating my advance
directive almost every year.
HEALTHCARE
DECISIONS
DAY
AWARENESS
19. I have not have my living will notarized since
2006.
I felt it is NOT necessary. I personally think,
especially, in the context of my family
environment, it is enough that my immediate
and extended family members know that I have
such a documented will and they know my
wishes.
HEALTHCARE
DECISIONS
DAY
AWARENESS
A common practice
or expectation
though is that
advance directives
should be notarized
making them legal
documents to
prevent conflicts
between patients
and relatives; among
relatives; and
patients, relatives
and healthcare
providers.
20. For me and for others -----
Advance directives will be of great help to my
family members, physicians, and also to myself in
decision-making during my end-of-life stage.
Foremost, they will help me die with dignity and
with shortest duration of agony.
They will also keep my hospitalization and
medical expenses to just a ānecessary
āminimum.
HEALTHCARE
DECISIONS

AWARENESS
21. In the past and at present, I have seen quite a
number of patients and relatives suffering,
physically, emotionally, and financially, that
could have been minimized if not avoided by the
presence of advance directives and end-of-life
counseling by physicians.

23. It is not easy to make an āadvance directive.ā
A lot of people
- Do not want to talk and more so, to think
about death, the inevitable event for
everyone.
- Do not know the healthcare problems and
challenges during the near-end of life.
- Do not know what to place in a healthcare
advance directive or living will.

25. 5 things that advocates from the The Conversation Project say you
should know about starting this conversation with your loved ones.
1. You can start out by writing a letterāto yourself, a loved one, or a
friend ā and you might consider having a practice conversation with
someone you trust.
2. Try finishing the sentence āWhat matters to me at the end of life
isā¦ā
3. You can broach the topic by saying things like āI was thinking about
what happened to , and it made me realizeā¦ā or āI need to think
about the future. Will you help me?ā
4. You donāt have to steer the conversation; just let it happen.
5. Keep in mind there are legal and medical documents you should
think about producing for the Advance Directive.
HEALTHCARE

26. Five Wishes is a document that, like other
advance directives, makes your wishes known
ahead of time. It is unique among other advance
directives, however, because it addresses all of a
persons needs: medical, personal, emotional,
and spiritual.
HEALTHCARE

27. According to Aging with Dignity
(http://www.agingwithdignity.org) the
organization that created Five Wishes, the
document lets your family and health care
providers know:
1.Which person you want to make health care
decisions for you when you canāt make them.
2.The kind of medical treatment you want or
donāt want.
3.How comfortable you want to be.
