Nigeria’s first national Newborn Health Conference was held on October 23 and 24 in the capital, Abuja. The conference defined the country’s next steps for reducing newborn deaths. Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan provided opening remarks. Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) organized the conference and the country’s development partners, including JSI, supported it. After reviewing the progress of newborn health programming over the previous two decades, conference participants identified the most promising and scalable interventions for reducing newborn deaths. JSI’s Targeted States High Impact Project (TSHIP) is a key FMoH partner in the race to save newborn lives. JSI facilitated the attendance of key state officials and the Sultan of Sokoto and support the dissemination of conference information via social media. TSHIP gave several presentations at the conference and rapporteured a panel discussion on antenatal corticosteroids. The project also shared its influential documentary film about providing the lifesaving drug pair chlorhexidine and misoprostol to newborns and mothers across Nigeria.

Tushar and Matt, who both have advanced degrees from top universities, decided to live on India's average income of Rs. 100 per day to better understand the lives of average Indians. They found it incredibly difficult to afford even basic necessities on such a low wage, and were unable to have a balanced diet or access transportation, healthcare, or leisure activities. Their experience highlighted how the official poverty levels determined by the government only allow for bare subsistence, not a quality life.

Ghana Single Slide Stories
Case identification by district increased from 22% to 88% from October to January due to start-up activities in October, capacity building of providers in November, and a drop in February and March likely due to fewer working days and the COVID-19 impact. Quality improvement interventions like maintaining linkage registers and accommodating ART initiation outside clinic hours drove increases in linkage to treatment, reaching over 140% in some weeks. The number of people currently on ART saw a steady increase over a 6-month period from 49% to 58% of the project target, accounting for over 11,000 people, resulting from increased case identification and linkage.

Index Testing & Key Populations in Ghana
These slides were presented by Dr. Henry Nagai during JSI’s Index Testing & Partner Notification for HIV Epidemic Control webinar on April 11th, 2019. Dr. Nagai is currently the Project Director/Chief of Party for the JSI-implemented USAID Strengthening the Care Continuum project in Ghana with a focus on HIV and key populations. Using funding from USAID and PEPFAR, the Project is improving the capacity of the Government of Ghana and civil society partners to provide quality and comprehensive HIV services for key populations and people living with HIV.
HIV Index Testing: The USAID DISCOVER-Health Project Experience in Zambia
The USAID DISCOVER-Health Project has been implementing HIV index testing and partner notification services since November 2017 in 138 sites across 11 hubs in order to more efficiently test for HIV and contribute to epidemic control. Index testing has yielded a high positivity rate of 23% and has tested more males than other modalities, showing its potential to reach male partners. The project aims to increase the contribution of index testing to 40% of all new HIV cases identified through ongoing capacity building, mentorship, and allowing the model to evolve dynamically. Key lessons include the need for adequate training and support for health care workers implementing index testing.

Setting Them up for Failure: Why Parents Struggle to Adhere to Infant Safe Sl...
This poster was presented by Christin D'Ovidio at the National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing & Media.
Each year in Vermont, 4-6 infants die of unsafe sleep environments. The Vermont Department of Health contracted with JSI Research and Training Institute, Inc. (JSI), to study the major barriers Vermont parents and professionals face with regard to infant safe sleep. The research examined: what parents know, have heard, or find confusing about infant safe sleep practices; decisions around infant safe sleep practice; and response to existing infant safe sleep materials.
Some of the major themes with implications for future
communication efforts included parents’ need to be respected as good and competent caregivers, the desire for information that addresses the unique sleep challenges in their family, and
a skepticism of infant safe sleep research and messaging.
Although parents are highly motivated to do what is best for their baby and are aware of the basic infant safe sleep guidelines, parents who struggle the follow the guidelines feel they must choose between sleep and safety, or adapt the guidelines as their version of “safe sleep.”These parents feel they are being set up for failure, due to a lack of guidance to get their baby to sleep in a safe sleep environment. Parents want assistance grounded in the reality of the challenges
and choices they face to get their babies to sleep while keeping
them safe.

The document summarizes a campaign called "Binge-Free 603: What's Your Reason?" that was created to prevent binge drinking among young adults in New Hampshire. Research identified that country-local young adults aged 21-25 were most at risk. The campaign used a social marketing approach on digital platforms like Facebook and Instagram with positive messages reflecting the values of this group. Evaluation found the campaign reached over 3.9 million people and increased engagement on social media and the website. The risk reduction approach and targeting the messaging to a specific peer group was deemed effective for this audience.

This presentation was given by Yvette Ribaira at the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) in Kigali, Rwanda in November 2018. (This is the English version of the presentation).
In Madagascar, there are 80% endemic species, 80% of the country is rural, 72% of the population is poor, with only 2.7% population growth. There are over exploitation and destruction of natural resources and lack of access to family planning in rural areas.
Program implications:
1. Partnership for integration health, population, environment
2. Coverage in universal health by delegation of tasks to CAs
3. Increased productivity by women and men

Although parents are highly motivated to do what is best for their baby and are aware of the basic infant safe sleep guidelines, parents who struggle the follow the guidelines feel they must choose between sleep and safety, or adapt the guidelines as their version of “safe sleep.”These parents feel they are being set up for failure, due to a lack of guidance to get their baby to sleep in a safe sleep environment. Parents want assistance grounded in the reality of the challenges
and choices they face to get their babies to sleep while keeping
them safe.
Binge-Free 603: What's Your Reason? Preventing Binge Drinking in Young Adults...
The document summarizes a campaign called "Binge-Free 603: What's Your Reason?" that was created to prevent binge drinking among young adults in New Hampshire. Research identified that country-local young adults aged 21-25 were most at risk. The campaign used a social marketing approach on digital platforms like Facebook and Instagram with positive messages reflecting the values of this group. Evaluation found the campaign reached over 3.9 million people and increased engagement on social media and the website. The risk reduction approach and targeting the messaging to a specific peer group was deemed effective for this audience.

Dr. Ribaira, a medical doctor, has spent her career in public health strengthening the Madagascar’s health system, with a specific focus on community health in the last decade. She currently leads the JSI’s USAID Community Capacity for Health Program in Madagascar, locally known as Mahefa Miaraka, which implements the Population Health and Environment (PHE) Activity, funded by Advancing Partners and Communities.
The webinar was hosted by the PACE (https://thepaceproject.org/) (Policy, Advocacy, and Communication Enhanced for Population and Reproductive Health) project and included presenters from the Population Reference Bureau and USAID.

USAID Community Capacity for Health Program (Mahefa Miaraka): Re-engaging Pop...
This presentation was given by Yvette Ribaira at the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) in Kigali, Rwanda in November 2018. (This is the English version of the presentation).
In Madagascar, there are 80% endemic species, 80% of the country is rural, 72% of the population is poor, with only 2.7% population growth. There are over exploitation and destruction of natural resources and lack of access to family planning in rural areas.
Program implications:
1. Partnership for integration health, population, environment
2. Coverage in universal health by delegation of tasks to CAs
3. Increased productivity by women and men

Role of Mukta Pishti in the Management of Hyperthyroidism

Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
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.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
