Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
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.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.

2. Introduction to Ideation Tools & Uses at HHS
• What is ideation and who is using it in the federal gov’t?
• Why is ideation important for federal agencies?
• How can ideation tools help federal agencies?
• What resources are available to help your agency?
2
3. What is ideation?
• Process of generating new ideas or solutions using crowd-
sourcing technologies
• Ideation tools utilize on-line “brainstorming” or “social voting”
platforms such as Ideascale and User Voice (which are
available to federal agencies through GSA) to:
– Post questions & challenges
– Submit new ideas and search previously submitted ideas
– Discuss ideas and expand upon them
– Vote ideas up or down
– Flag ideas
3
4. Why is ideation important?
• Ideation platforms and tools are responsive to the Open
Government Directive that calls for agencies to incorporate
public feedback mechanisms and enhance participation and
collaboration among employees.
• Initial experiences from a variety of agencies show these
tools hold great promise in engaging employees and
stakeholders in problem-solving
4
5. Which agencies are using ideation and how?
• TSA’s Idea Factory
• State Department’s
Sounding Board
• HUD’s Ideas in Action
• HHS
– Users include: CMS, FDA,
SAMHSA, and CDC
– Internal and external-
facing applications
5
6. How can ideation tools help your agency?
• Great way to leverage the good ideas and creative thinking
that exists within agencies (internal use) or in your
stakeholder base (external use).
• Some of the best ideas may come from unanticipated places
or people!
• Useful tool for engaging the agency personnel or external
stakeholders in solving vexing problems (for example, the tool
can be used to host “challenge questions” to solve vexing
problems).
• Excellent mechanism for connecting a disparate workforce
over common ideas.
• Helps to build a sense of community engagement. Allows for
buy-in from agency personnel or stakeholders.
6
7. What resources are available to help agencies?
• Intergovernmental Community of Practice (iCOP)
– Over 45 federal agencies involved
– Meets monthly (second Tuesday of every month)
– Safe environment for sharing and learning from counterparts
– To join the listserv, contact: tina.cariola@dhs.gov
• MAX Portal [www.MAX.gov] includes numerous resources
• GSA’s website http://www.howto.gov/
(section on ideation tools forthcoming)
• HHS’s internal consulting team of Yea & Liu

9. Getting Started
• Senior leadership commitment
• Cross agency collaborative effort
• Best Practices/Lessons Learned from other
Agencies
• Business Process Model/Process Integration
with current suggestion program
• Tool selection/508 compliance
• Solicitation of forum owners
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
10. Key Decisions
• Rules of engagement & moderation level
• Records management – same as existing
suggestion program
• Duration – 1 month
• Forum questions – three, senior leadership
• Marketing/communication – emails, user
video, employee newsletters, posters, PA
• Launch date – tied to redesigned Intranet,
coordinated employee engagement effort
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
11. Implementation
• Manager memo from Deputy COO
• Employee invitation from Deputy COO
• Multiple access points – Intranet, desktop
widget, links in emails & employee
newsletters
• Marketing – traditional & viral – talk it up
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
12. Administration & Moderation
• Super Moderators – addicting but not time
consuming
– Review ideas and comments
– Edit/close questions
– Check email resource box
• IT Support – minimal after launch
– Login assistance primarily
• Questions Owners
– Different styles and level of engagement
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
13. Results
• Participation: > 900 employees, 20%
• Ideas: 156
• Votes: 2,283
– 51 votes on 11/1 – before link publicized
– 265 votes on 11/2 – after employee invite
– 324 votes on 11/22 – after reminder email and
PA announcement
• Requests to use software at workgroup
level – piloting now
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
14. Lessons Learned
• Higher priority initiatives take precedence
• Limit forum scope – smaller is better
• Clearly define what a suggestion is
• Don’t waste time fine-tuning instructions/
rules - people don’t read them - self-policing
• Frequent reminders – can’t have too many
• Idea evaluation takes longer than expected –
December is not a good time to start
• Publicize progress/implementation –
frequently in all available channels

22. FDA Tobacco Control Goals
• Prevent youth tobacco use
• Help those who use tobacco to quit
• Promote public understanding of contents and
consequences of use of tobacco products
• Develop science base and begin meaningful product
regulation to reduce the toll of tobacco-related
disease, disability, and death
3
23. Ideation Background
• UserVoice tool was free
and easy to use
• Enhance communication
efforts and extend Web
Dialogue
• Two-way communication
portal that accessible for
target audiences
• Tailor forums for specific
groups
4
24. Current Use
• Launch in May, 2010
• Create forums
targeting retailers
with suggestions for
creating or
improving retail
education materials
• Content now in
Spanish
5
28. Promotion: Recognition Example
“I think adding Spanish and other
language materials is an excellent
idea. This spreads the information
into more areas and better serves
those who have a limited use of
English. Additionally, involving more
people in this education process can
only help to reduce the problem.”
