CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

3. A registered midwife is a person who:
Has successfully completed a recognized and
approved midwifery education programme in
the country where the qualification was
achieved
Has acquired the necessary requirements to
be registered to practice midwifery in this
jurisdiction and use the title ‘registered midwife’
Demonstrates and maintains competency in
the practice of midwifery.
Scope of midwifery
4. Scope of midwifery
The scope of midwifery practice is the
expected range of roles, functions,
responsibilities and activities that a midwife
registered with the NMBI is educated for and is
competent and authorized to perform.
More specifically, the scope of midwifery
practice is identified in the EC Directive of 2005
(2005/36/EC) as amended.
5. Scope of midwifery
Article 42 of the Directive (2005) states that:
The Member State shall ensure that midwives are
able to gain access and pursue at least the
following activities:
a)Provide sound family planning information and
advice
b)Diagnose and monitor normal pregnancies;
carrying out the examinations necessary to do this
c) Prescribe or advise on necessary examinations
6. Scope of midwifery
d) Provide parenthood preparation programmes
and provide preparation for childbirth advice,
including advice on hygiene and nutrition
e) Care for and help the mother during labour and
monitor the condition of the baby in the womb using
appropriate clinical and technical means
7. Scope of midwifery
f) Conduct spontaneous deliveries, including, where
required, episiotomies, and in urgent cases breech
deliveries; recognise the warning signs of
abnormality in the mother or baby’s condition which
need to be referred to a doctor, and assist the
doctor if necessary.
The midwife should also take the necessary
emergency measures in the doctor’s absence, in
particular, the manual removal of the placenta,
possibly followed by manual examination of the
womb
8. Scope of midwifery
g) Examine and care for the newborn infant and
take all initiatives that are needed, including
resuscitation, if necessary
h) Care for and monitor the progress of the mother
in the post-natal period and advise her on infant
care so that the baby makes the best possible
progress
i) Carry out the treatment prescribed by doctors
j) Draw up the necessary written reports
9. Midwifery practice
Fundamental to midwifery practice is the provision
of safe, competent, kind and compassionate care
which is informed by the best available evidence;
the midwife’s own expertise; and the experiences,
preferences and values of the woman.
Midwifery practice is underpinned by values that
guide the way in which midwives provide care.
The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland
considers that the following values should underpin
midwifery practice and provide the basis for the
formulation of a philosophy of midwifery:
10. Midwifery practice
These values are also shared with the International
Confederation of Midwives.
Having a baby is a profound experience; which
carries intense meaning to the woman, her baby,
her family and the community.
The woman is the primary decision-maker in her
care and she has the right to information that helps
her to make decisions.
Birth is a normal physiological process.
11. Midwifery practice
Midwives are the most appropriate care providers to
attend women during pregnancy, labour, birth and
the post-natal period and in collaboration with other
health care professionals when required.
Midwives respect all people equally without
discriminating on the grounds of age, gender, race,
ethnicity, religion, civil status, family status, sexual
orientation, disability (physical, mental or
intellectual), or membership of the Traveller
community.
12. Midwives value empowerment of women to assume
responsibility for their health and for the health of
their families.Midwifery care combines art and
science. Midwifery care is holistic in nature -
grounded in an understanding of the social,
emotional, cultural, spiritual, psychological and
physical experiences of women, and is based upon
the best available research and experiential
evidence.Midwives have confidence and trust in,
and respect for women and their capabilities in
childbirth.
13. An individual midwife’s scope of practice is dynamic –
that is, it will change and grow as they progress in their
career.
The scope of practice of the individual midwife is
influenced by a number of factors including:
The midwife’s educational preparation, experience and
competence
Local, national and international guidelines, polices and
evidence base
The practice setting
Collaborative practice
Other factors, such as the woman and baby’s safety,
their needs and care outcomes.
