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)
Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

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

7. The new EU Directive
The Tobacco Products Directive provides a mandate for
stronger regulation of the manufacture, marketing and
sales of tobacco products, ingredients, additives,
disclosure to the public, oral tobacco and e-cigarettes.
“… will improve the functioning of the internal market for
tobacco and related products, while ensuring a high level
of health protection for European citizens”
The Council of the European Union. Revision of the tobacco products directive.
8. Legislative actions in the EU
Taking into account the significant cross border trade of tobacco products and
diverging national legislation, EU-wide rules are necessary for these products.
The rules ensure that all consumers are equally protected across the EU.
The new Tobacco Products Directive governing the manufacture,
presentation and sale of tobacco and related products was signed on 3 April
2014.

Structuring of a reporting format as a tool to collect data
that can be useful to regulators and increase the utility of
the collected data
14. Utility from a public health perspective
• While the main objective of the new common reporting
format is to improve the functioning of the internal
market, it also represents important benefits to public
health.
• Unprecedented opportunity to increase the detail of
information that is available to the regulators and the
general public.
• This increased information will enable regulators to
monitor design & product elements and would provide
crucial information to regulators implementing EU or
national legislations related to tobacco control.

16. Ingredient Regulation
Regulation of ingredients that give a characterizing flavor
Ingredients that:
• vitamins or other additives that create the impression that a tobacco
product has a health benefit or presents reduced health risks;
• caffeine or taurine or other additives and stimulant compounds that are
associated with energy and vitality;
• additives having colouring properties for emissions;
• for tobacco products for smoking, additives that facilitate inhalation or
nicotine uptake; and
• additives that have CMR properties in unburnt form
Priority Additives
17. Misleading cigarette design and packaging
characteristics
• Suggest benefits in terms of weight loss, sex appeal, economic class, social
life or qualities such as femininity, elegance or masculinity.
• Visual elements (color), may be used by the tobacco industry to cue or
amplify the perceived sensory reward from smoking, or to indirectly
communicate a misleading message of reduced harm.
Cigarette design and marketing features are associated with increased smoking
susceptibility and perception of reduced harm among smokers in the EU
18. Design features and youth perceptions of
reduced harm
• Menthol (OR 2.5*)
• Flavours such as spicy, fruity (OR 1.5)
• Shape and size of a cigarette (OR 2*)
• “organic” or “natural” (OR 1.9*)
• Additive free (OR 1.3)
19. Packaging as an industry advertising tool
• Although many factors influence tobacco use behavior,
tobacco industry advertising and promotions stand out as a
prominent factor encouraging tobacco use.
• Using striking colors, distinctive fonts and carefully crafted
materials, cigarette packaging is defined to be highly
attractive, especially among young people.
