e-PatCon11: Licht - Re-imagining Health: How UNICEF is Using Digital Innovati...e-Patient Connections
UNICEF is using digital innovation to improve health globally. PSFK and UNICEF identified 15 key trends and briefed agencies on opportunities. Zemoga then developed concepts for UNICEF, including the Teach Shirt idea, which would replicate UNICEF's model and provide benefits like fresh thinking, exposure to best practices, new resources, and new sponsorship opportunities.Vitamin d deficiency in utero
1) The study examined the impact of maternal vitamin D status on fetal skeletal development through 3D ultrasound measurements in 424 pregnant women.
2) It found that suboptimal maternal vitamin D status was associated with increased femur cross-sectional area and splaying in utero, resembling characteristics of rickets.
3) This suggests that maternal vitamin D insufficiency could influence fetal skeletal development and morphology early in gestation, though future studies are still needed to establish causality.
Rickets abuse kathykeller
1) This document discusses the increasing rates of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in infants and mothers internationally. Recent studies show deficiency rates as high as 80-92% in some populations.
2) The radiographic findings of congenital and nutritional rickets in young infants can be subtle but include craniotabes, metaphyseal changes in long bones, and flaring of anterior rib ends.
3) The document presents four case studies of young infants who presented with fractures and were initially suspected of abuse, but were later found to have significant vitamin D deficiency based on laboratory tests. This highlights the challenge of differentiating between abuse and nutritional rickets based on radiographic findings alone.
Shaken Baby Is A Myth Forensic Science
This document discusses shaken baby syndrome (SBS) cases and challenges the prevailing assumptions around SBS. It summarizes that shaking alone cannot cause the injuries typically associated with SBS, and that many other causes could result in retinal hemorrhages and subdural hematomas. It provides tips for challenging SBS claims using Daubert motions and expert witnesses in biomechanics, radiology, neurology and pathology that can argue alternative causes. Contact information is given for several medical experts who may be willing to review cases or testify that the injuries were not necessarily caused by shaking.
What killed sally clark's child
Sally Clark was wrongly imprisoned for 3.5 years for murdering her two babies. However, her second baby Harry received a vaccine just 5 hours before his death that can cause life-threatening reactions. At her trial, the defense did not mention the vaccine as a possible cause of death. Experts assured the jury the vaccine could be discounted, even though it is known to cause brain damage and death in rare cases. Sally Clark's story highlighted issues with shifting expert opinions and the suppression of potentially important health information regarding vaccine risks.
11 conditions mistaken for child abuse
This document discusses conditions that can be mistaken for child physical abuse, including:
1. Cutaneous conditions like folk medicine practices, burns, and dermatitis that can cause bruising or marks on the skin.
2. Intracranial bleeding that could result from accidental head trauma, coagulation disorders, or tumors rather than abuse.
3. Ocular hemorrhages that in some cases may result from vaginal birth, bleeding disorders, or other medical conditions rather than abuse.
4. Bone fractures that could potentially be caused by certain medical conditions like osteogenesis imperfecta, temporary brittle bone disease, or infantile cortical hyperostosis rather than physical abuse. Strict analysis of the clinical
The case for shaken baby syndrome review
This document discusses the case of Julie Baumer, who was convicted in 2005 of abusing her nephew based on a diagnosis of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) but was later acquitted in 2010. It provides background on the development of SBS as a diagnosis and the current medical debate around it. The author argues that many defendants are unable to properly challenge SBS evidence in court and proposes the creation of SBS Review Panels that would review past convictions and medical evidence in cases where SBS was a factor to identify potential wrongful convictions.
The Semantic Filter for Social Media Moderation
A description of Zemoga's patented process for automatic semantic filtration of social media posts, an important tool for highly regulated categories like the finance and pharmaceutical industries.

Reflexiones Sobre Digital, 140 Caracteres a la Vez from Cesar Trujillo
From Cesar Trujillo's, founder, Binario, 2011 Social Media Week Bogota presentation:
Twenty years ago, the almighty promise of digital media was simple: speed, simplicity, multitasking, ubiquity, control, connection. Over time it is clear that while all these things are enforced, there was an implicit little trap, a set of then unintended consequences in the use of tools, software, media. And eventually we see that professional and life choices are increasingly looking for simple things, that even go against these ideas: slowness, focus, reflection, clarity, lightness.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

June 14, 2024Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
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.
