Classification of Hematopoietic #Neoplasms The #FAB (French-American-British) and #WHO (World Health Organization) classifications differ as follows: 1. FAB Classification: ✔️Developed in the 1970s, focuses on morphological characteristics. ✔️Classifies acute leukemias by cell lineage and maturity. ✔️Limited in incorporating genetic and molecular features. 2. WHO Classification: ✔️Introduced in 1997, regularly updated to include #genetic and clinical data. ✔️Provides a comprehensive classification of hematopoietic #neoplasms. ✔️Emphasizes #genetic abnormalities and diagnostic techniques. In summary, FAB is morphology-focused, while WHO offers a broader, integrated approach.

What fantastic news! 😍 It's incredible to see the life changing impact of #cellandgenetherapies. It's truly awe-inspiring. This news is also testament to how important it is that there is a strong ecosystem where all the stakeholders are closely engaged with each other. What a privilege to be contributing in small part. #NHS, Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult, #sicklecellanemia, https://lnkd.in/ekShivbk

The promise of AI in healthcare is very exciting! As AI is enabling early detection of conditions like postpartum depression through innovative diagnostics. Dionysus Digital Health's pioneering blood test, which utilizes AI to analyze gene expressions related to mood and hormonal changes, shows how AI can preemptively identify risks and facilitate timely interventions. This really hits home the potential of AI to enhance diagnostic accuracy and preventive care, making significant improvements in patient outcomes and overall wellness.

Did you know? Testing for genetics isn't the norm everywhere, but it's a game-changer in personalized medicine! Many doctors don't have the time to dive into your unique genetic makeup. But empowering yourself to seek out integrative practices and understand your genetic SNPs can make all the difference. Your genes act like on/off switches, impacting how you detoxify and respond to toxins. Especially in places like LA, with high mercury exposure from a high consumption of sushi or a history of dental fillings, knowing your genetics is crucial. For example, the MTHFR gene affects detoxification, and about 50% of us have it! If you're one of them, it’s important to know so you can take action. Your genetic profile can guide you in preventing health issues down the line, like dementia or Alzheimer’s. ⇢ Curious about your genes and how to get started?

SCARLESS HEALING Yes, it’s true. Unborn babies before 24 weeks gestation heal without leaving any visible scar. Nobody knows the exact mechanisms but differences in the anatomy of the skin and its response to wounding, regulation by cell chemicals, gene expressions and different collagen types produced are likely the reason. Whilst we can’t turn back the clock on our skin to mimic an unborn baby’s, scientists such as those supported by Fiona Wood Foundation and The Scar Free Foundation continue to try to recreate a wound healing environment which would reduce scar formation to benefit all types of trauma and wounds.

How Gimel ID helps to securing #health #equity ↗ CGT dawn: Individualized medicine is on the rise. Some 30ish #gene #therapies have been approved globally for clinical use. More than 2,000 therapies are in various stages of #development. Individualized medicine can leapfrog the way how we treat #diseases and do #prevention. It is the standard in medicine for the future. ❗ CGT is expensive: One treatment of a gene therapy easily costs up to millions of USD. For #DNA #testing, some 100s USD are being charged dependent on the scope of #diagnostics. Right now, individualized medicine is still a kind of luxury approach accessable only to a limited number of #patients. ✔ Gimel ID contribution: For DNA diagnostics, #Gimel-ID and the CGTcoin associated provide a new financial network. The issuance of #tokens of the new #CGTcoin currency can – besides aligning the incentives of all network participants around the growth of the network - help to reduce the cost for patients, #care providers and #payers. Ideally, it can even help to offer DNA diagnostics for free. #GimelID fosters health equity by helping to provide DNA diagnostics to everyone. For more see https://lnkd.in/dTEkupj7

Wonders of the modern medicinal system in improving the quality of life for sick people through state-of-the-art medicines, surgeries, transplants, vaccines, and gene therapy are indeed plausible. it's a true wonderful *Sick-Care System* However, we should acknowledge the limitations of this system, which primarily focuses on aiding and supporting sick individuals. It emphasizes the need for another system, the "HealthCare System," that works hand-in-hand with the sick-care system to prevent people from falling sick and promote overall health. This system should provide valuable guidelines and information based on authentic research to keep individuals strong, healthy, and immune from healthcare challenges. The responsibility to make and promote such a system should be shared by science, arts, and media. #VoxWellness #Prevention #Aafiyat #HealthEducation #Wellness #Awareness

Hair cell-specific human deafness gene identified! Researchers have found a gene that links deafness to cell death in the inner ear in humans – creating new opportunities for averting hearing loss. A person’s hearing can be damaged by loud noise, aging and even certain medications, with little recourse beyond a hearing aid or cochlear implant.  But now, scientists have achieved a breakthrough in understanding what is happening in the inner ear during hearing loss, laying the groundwork for preventing deafness.  The research, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation Insight, links animal studies on hearing loss with a rare type of inherited deafness in humans. In both cases, mutations to the TMTC4 gene trigger a molecular domino effect known as the unfolded protein response (UPR), leading to the death of hair cells in the inner ear.  #ScienceMission #ScienceNewsHighlights https://lnkd.in/g_-M4sfG
