Wilson, (410) 786-8852. End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information In the buy brand name propecia online October 17, 2019 Federal Register (84 FR 55766), we published a proposed rule that addressed undue regulatory impact and burden of the physician self-referral law. The proposed rule was issued in conjunction with the Centers for Medicare &.

Medicaid Services' (CMS) Patients over Paperwork initiative and the Department of Health and Human Services' (the Department or HHS) Regulatory buy brand name propecia online Sprint to Coordinated Care. In the proposed rule, we proposed exceptions to the physician self-referral law for certain value-based compensation arrangements between or among physicians, providers, and suppliers. A new exception for certain arrangements under which a physician receives limited remuneration for items or services actually provided by the physician.

A new exception for donations of cybersecurity technology and buy brand name propecia online related services.

Kadlec, MD, MTM&H, MS, Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, Office of the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services, 200 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20201.

Telephone. 202-205-2882. End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) to issue a Declaration to provide liability immunity to certain individuals and entities (Covered Persons) against any claim of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the manufacture, distribution, administration, or use of medical countermeasures (Covered Countermeasures), except for claims involving âwillful misconductâ as defined in the PREP Act.

Under the PREP Act, a Declaration may be amended as circumstances warrant. The PREP Act was enacted on December 30, 2005, as Public Law 109-148, Division C, Â§â2. It amended the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, adding section 319F-3, which addresses liability immunity, and section 319F-4, which creates a compensation program.

These sections are codified at 42 U.S.C. 247d-6d and 42 U.S.C. 247d-6e, respectively.

Section 319F-3 of the PHS Act has been amended by the propecia and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act (PAHPRA), Public Law 113-5, enacted on March 13, 2013 and the hair loss Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Public Law 116-136, enacted on March 27, Start Printed Page 521372020, to expand Covered Countermeasures under the PREP Act. On January 31, 2020, the Secretary declared a public health emergency pursuant to section 319 of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 247d, effective January 27, 2020, for the entire United States to aid in the response of the nation's health care community to the hair loss treatment outbreak.

Pursuant to section 319 of the PHS Act, the Secretary renewed that declaration on April 26, 2020, and July 25, 2020. On March 10, 2020, the Secretary issued a Declaration under the PREP Act for medical countermeasures against hair loss treatment (85 FR 15198, Mar. 17, 2020) (the Declaration).

On April 10, the Secretary amended the Declaration under the PREP Act to extend liability immunity to covered countermeasures authorized under the CARES Act (85 FR 21012, Apr. 15, 2020). On June 4, the Secretary amended the Declaration to clarify that covered countermeasures under the Declaration include qualified countermeasures that limit the harm hair loss treatment might otherwise cause.

The Secretary now amends section V of the Declaration to identify as qualified persons covered under the PREP Act, and thus authorizes, certain State-licensed pharmacists to order and administer, and pharmacy interns (who are licensed or registered by their State board of pharmacy and acting under the supervision of a State-licensed pharmacist) to administer, any treatment that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends to persons ages three through 18 according to ACIP's standard immunization schedule (ACIP-recommended treatments).[] The Secretary also amends section VIII of the Declaration to clarify that the category of disease, health condition, or threat for which he recommends the administration or use of the Covered Countermeasures includes not only hair loss treatment caused by hair loss or a propecia mutating therefrom, but also other diseases, health conditions, or threats that may have been caused by hair loss treatment, hair loss, or a propecia mutating therefrom, including the decrease in the rate of childhood immunizations, which will lead to an increase in the rate of infectious diseases. Description of This Amendment by Section Section V. Covered Persons Under the PREP Act and the Declaration, a âqualified personâ is a âcovered person.â Subject to certain limitations, a covered person is immune from suit and liability under Federal and State law with respect to all claims for loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration or use of a covered countermeasure if a declaration under subsection (b) has been issued with respect to such countermeasure.

ÂQualified personâ includes (A) a licensed health professional or other individual who is authorized to prescribe, administer, or dispense such countermeasures under the law of the State in which the countermeasure was prescribed, administered, or dispensed. Or (B) âa person within a category of persons so identified in a declaration by the Secretaryâ under subsection (b) of the PREP Act. 42 U.S.C.

247d-6d(i)(8).[] By this amendment to the Declaration, the Secretary identifies an additional category of persons who are qualified persons under section 247d-6d(i)(8)(B).[] On May 8, 2020, CDC reported, âThe identified declines in routine pediatric treatment ordering and doses administered might indicate that U.S. Children and their communities face increased risks for outbreaks of treatment-preventable diseases,â and suggested that a decrease in rates of routine childhood vaccinations were due to changes in healthcare access, social distancing, and other hair loss treatment mitigation strategies.[] The report also stated that â[p]arental concerns about potentially exposing their children to hair loss treatment during well child visits might contribute to the declines observed.ââ[] On July 10, 2020, CDC reported its findings of a May survey it conducted to assess the capacity of pediatric health care practices to provide immunization services to children during the hair loss treatment propecia. The survey, which was limited to practices participating in the treatments for Children program, found that, as of mid-May, 15 percent of Northeast pediatric practices were closed, 12.5 percent of Midwest practices were closed, 6.2 percent of practices in the South were closed, and 10 percent of practices in the West were closed.

Most practices had reduced office hours for in-person visits. When asked whether their practices would likely be able to accommodate new patients for immunization services through August, 418 practices (21.3 percent) either responded that this was not likely or the practice was permanently closed or not resuming immunization services for all patients, and 380 (19.6 percent) responded that they were unsure. Urban practices and those in the Northeast were less likely to be able to accommodate new patients compared with rural practices and those in the South, Midwest, or West.[] In response to these troubling developments, CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics have stressed, âWell-child visits and vaccinations are essential services and help make sure children are protected.ââ[] The Secretary re-emphasizes that important recommendation to parents and legal guardians here.

If your child is due for a well-child visit, contact your pediatrician's or other primary-care provider's office and ask about ways that the office safely offers well-child visits and vaccinations. Many medical offices are taking extra steps to make sure that well-child visits can occur safely during the hair loss treatment propecia, including. Scheduling sick visits and well-child visits during different times of the Start Printed Page 52138day or days of the week, or at different locations.

Asking patients to remain outside until it is time for their appointments to reduce the number of people in waiting rooms. Adhering to recommended social (physical) distancing and other -control practices, such as the use of masks. The decrease in childhood-vaccination rates is a public health threat and a collateral harm caused by hair loss treatment.

Together, the United States must turn to available medical professionals to limit the harm and public health threats that may result from decreased immunization rates. We must quickly do so to avoid preventable s in children, additional strains on our healthcare system, and any further increase in avoidable adverse health consequencesâparticularly if such complications coincide with additional resurgence of hair loss treatment. Together with pediatricians and other healthcare professionals, pharmacists are positioned to expand access to childhood vaccinations.

Many States already allow pharmacists to administer treatments to children of any age.[] Other States permit pharmacists to administer treatments to children depending on the ageâfor example, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, or 12 years of age and older.[] Few States restrict pharmacist-administered vaccinations to only adults.[] Many States also allow properly trained individuals under the supervision of a trained pharmacist to administer those treatments.[] Pharmacists are well positioned to increase access to vaccinations, particularly in certain areas or for certain populations that have too few pediatricians and other primary-care providers, or that are otherwise medically underserved.[] As of 2018, nearly 90 percent of Americans lived within five miles of a community pharmacy.[] Pharmacies often offer extended hours and added convenience. What is more, pharmacists are trusted healthcare professionals with established relationships with their patients. Pharmacists also have strong relationships with local medical providers and hospitals to refer patients as appropriate.

For example, pharmacists already play a significant role in annual influenza vaccination. In the early 2018-19 season, they administered the influenza treatment to nearly a third of all adults who received the treatment.[] Given the potential danger of serious influenza and continuing hair loss treatment outbreaks this autumn and the impact that such concurrent outbreaks may have on our population, our healthcare system, and our whole-of-nation response to the hair loss treatment propecia, we must quickly expand access to influenza vaccinations. Allowing more qualified pharmacists to administer the influenza treatment to children will make vaccinations more accessible.

Therefore, the Secretary amends the Declaration to identify State-licensed pharmacists (and pharmacy interns acting under their supervision if the pharmacy intern is licensed or registered by his or her State board of pharmacy) as qualified persons under section 247d-6d(i)(8)(B) when the pharmacist orders and either the pharmacist or the supervised pharmacy intern administers treatments to individuals ages three through 18 pursuant to the following requirements. The treatment must be FDA-authorized or FDA-approved. The vaccination must be ordered and administered according to ACIP's standard immunization schedule.[] The licensed pharmacist must complete a practical training program of at least 20 hours that is approved by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).

This training Start Printed Page 52139program must include hands-on injection technique, clinical evaluation of indications and contraindications of treatments, and the recognition and treatment of emergency reactions to treatments.[] The licensed or registered pharmacy intern must complete a practical training program that is approved by the ACPE. This training program must include hands-on injection technique, clinical evaluation of indications and contraindications of treatments, and the recognition and treatment of emergency reactions to treatments.[] The licensed pharmacist and licensed or registered pharmacy intern must have a current certificate in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation.[] The licensed pharmacist must complete a minimum of two hours of ACPE-approved, immunization-related continuing pharmacy education during each State licensing period.[] The licensed pharmacist must comply with recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the jurisdiction in which he or she administers treatments, including informing the patient's primary-care provider when available, submitting the required immunization information to the State or local immunization information system (treatment registry), complying with requirements with respect to reporting adverse events, and complying with requirements whereby the person administering a treatment must review the treatment registry or other vaccination records prior to administering a treatment.[] The licensed pharmacist must inform his or her childhood-vaccination patients and the adult caregivers accompanying the children of the importance of a well-child visit with a pediatrician or other licensed primary-care provider and refer patients as appropriate.[] These requirements are consistent with those in many States that permit licensed pharmacists to order and administer treatments to children and permit licensed or registered pharmacy interns acting under their supervision to administer treatments to children.[] Administering vaccinations to children age three and older is less complicated and requires less training and resources than administering vaccinations to younger children. That is because ACIP generally recommends administering intramuscular injections in the deltoid muscle for individuals age three and older.[] For individuals less than three years of age, ACIP generally recommends administering intramuscular injections in the anterolateral aspect of the thigh muscle.[] Administering injections in the thigh muscle often presents additional complexities and requires additional training and resources including additional personnel to safely position the child while another healthcare professional injects the treatment.[] Moreover, as of 2018, 40% of three-year-olds were enrolled in preprimary programs (i.e.

Preschool or kindergarten programs).[] Preprimary programs are beginning in the coming weeks or months, so the Secretary has concluded that it is particularly important for individuals ages three through 18 to receive ACIP-recommended treatments according to ACIP's standard immunization schedule. All States require children to be vaccinated against certain communicable diseases as a condition of school attendance. These laws often apply to both public and private schools with identical immunization and exemption provisions.[] As nurseries, preschools, kindergartens, and schools reopen, increased access to childhood vaccinations is essential to ensuring children can return.

Notwithstanding any State or local scope-of-practice legal requirements, (1) qualified licensed pharmacists are identified as qualified persons to order and administer ACIP-recommended treatments and (2) qualified State-licensed or registered pharmacy interns are identified as qualified persons to administer the ACIP-recommended treatments ordered by their supervising qualified licensed pharmacist.[] Both the PREP Act and the June 4, 2020 Second Amendment to the Declaration define âcovered countermeasuresâ to include qualified propecia and epidemic products that âlimit the harm such propecia or epidemic might otherwise cause.ââ[] The troubling decrease in ACIP-recommended childhood vaccinations and the resulting increased risk of associated diseases, adverse health conditions, and other threats are categories of harms otherwise caused by Start Printed Page 52140hair loss treatment as set forth in Sections VI and VIII of this Declaration.[] Hence, such vaccinations are âcovered countermeasuresâ under the PREP Act and the June 4, 2020 Second Amendment to the Declaration. Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to affect the National treatment Injury Compensation Program, including an injured party's ability to obtain compensation under that program. Covered countermeasures that are subject to the National treatment Injury Compensation Program authorized under 42 U.S.C.

300aa-10 et seq. Are covered under this Declaration for the purposes of liability immunity and injury compensation only to the extent that injury compensation is not provided under that Program. All other terms and conditions of the Declaration apply to such covered countermeasures.

Section VIII. Category of Disease, Health Condition, or Threat As discussed, the troubling decrease in ACIP-recommended childhood vaccinations and the resulting increased risk of associated diseases, adverse health conditions, and other threats are categories of harms otherwise caused by hair loss treatment. The Secretary therefore amends section VIII, which describes the category of disease, health condition, or threat for which he recommends the administration or use of the Covered Countermeasures, to clarify that the category of disease, health condition, or threat for which he recommends the administration or use of the Covered Countermeasures is not only hair loss treatment caused by hair loss or a propecia mutating therefrom, but also other diseases, health conditions, or threats that may have been caused by hair loss treatment, hair loss, or a propecia mutating therefrom, including the decrease in the rate of childhood immunizations, which will lead to an increase in the rate of infectious diseases.

Amendments to Declaration Amended Declaration for Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act Coverage for medical countermeasures against hair loss treatment. Sections V and VIII of the March 10, 2020 Declaration under the PREP Act for medical countermeasures against hair loss treatment, as amended April 10, 2020 and June 4, 2020, are further amended pursuant to section 319F-3(b)(4) of the PHS Act as described below. All other sections of the Declaration remain in effect as published at 85 FR 15198 (Mar.

Where can you buy propecia

In response to the hair loss treatment propecia, members of the Rapid Deployment treatment Collaborative (or RaDVaC)âa group composed of scientists and their friends or where can you buy propecia colleaguesâhave been self-administering an untested treatment for hair loss (the propecia that causes hair loss treatment). The RaDVaC scientists describe their project as aiming âto reduce risk of harm from hair loss, minimally until there is at least one effective commercial treatment widely available.â Although the projectâs white paper includes includes terms and conditions designed to shield the authors from liability, RaDVaCâs self-experimentation raises important legal and ethical questions. Self-experimentation has where can you buy propecia a fascinating history.

In the early 1900s, Walter Reed conducted experiments in Cuba deliberately exposing individuals to yellow fever that included members of the study team as participants. These led to significant public health benefits in confirming that yellow fever was transmitted by mosquitoes, but also resulted in the deaths of several participants. Some Nobel Prizeâwinning work by scientists was based on self-experimentation that where can you buy propecia initially was seen as crazy.

For instance, in 1984, Barry Marshall swallowed bacteria to prove that they caused gastritis and peptic ulcers. Many cardiac procedures are based on a 1929 experiment by a German doctor who inserted a catheter into his own heart. Perhaps surprisingly, self-experimentation where can you buy propecia was once considered an ethical safeguard.

The Nuremberg Code, established in response to grossly unethical experiments during World War II, permitted higher risk research if investigators also volunteered to participate, as they had in the earlier yellow fever studies. However, the idea that self-experimentation can justify higher research risks was abandoned in later codes of ethics. Not only is self-experimentation legally and where can you buy propecia ethically complex, but protections like independent review and informed consent, which are now required by research regulations, may be a better way to protect research participants.

Existing regulations for research were not designed to address self-experimentation. Laws governing research typically define research as an activity designed to produce generalizable knowledge, which does not cover experimentation that is badly designed, unlikely to produce useful data, and merely aiming to protect a small group of people. In addition, where can you buy propecia the U.S.

Common Rule governs federally funded research, and RaDVaC is not using any federal funding. However, Harvard is covered by a âfederalwide assuranceâ under which the institution has agreed that all research it conducts will abide by the regulations (regardless of funding source). If studies of immune responses involving self-experimentation are planned in George Churchâs where can you buy propecia laboratory at Harvard, as has been reported, this undoubtedly requires approval by an Institutional Review Board, which would provide some oversight of this self-experimentation.

If results are to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, moreover, most, if not all, journals would require assurance of regulatory review and oversight. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has similar power to regulate research, and, perhaps more relevant for our purposes, âdrugsâ (including human biological materials and biologics)âeven where can you buy propecia if they are not distributed for profit.

The RaDVaC project uses biological materialsâmore specifically, small chains of amino acids from key hair loss proteinsâand therefore may fall under the FDAâs jurisdiction. While the FDA has not traditionally exercised this authority to regulate the analogous practice of small scale, do-it-yourself biohacking, it retains the power to do so in the future. Finally, if people were harmed by taking this treatment, they could also sue RaDVaC, but the where can you buy propecia disclaimers in the white paper are carefully designed to avoid liability.

Even if the law doesnât adequately address this behavior, it may be ethically problematicâincluding because it could be a waste of scientific expertise and research effort. If RaDVaC intends to produce generalizable knowledge about this treatment, unsystematic self-experimentation is unlikely to produce useful information. For example, self-experimentation can lead to biased results if researchers overestimate the chance that the treatment works, where can you buy propecia or fail to report side effects.

Randomized controlled trials, by contrast, are typically designed with researchers being blinded to who receives the intervention or the placebo. Beyond self-experimentation, friends, staff members, and family members of the scientists involved are taking this treatment based on these expertâs recommendations, which could lead to two potential misconceptions. First, people taking the where can you buy propecia treatment might overestimate the likelihood that they are protected from hair loss and change their behavior.

If some individuals falsely believe they are protected, they might engage in riskier behavior that could cause harm to themselves and others. A second misconception is the idea that this is research that could benefit others. The same data analyst seemed to believe this when he added âmy continued existence through this propecia will be a useful data set.â Yet the RaDVaC where can you buy propecia project could not produce useful data in the same way as standard, well-designed treatment trials, for example, because it is unclear whether individuals receiving the treatment are thoroughly evaluated or monitored, and there does not appear to be a control group.

Even if everyone involved with this project fully understands what they are getting into, however, there are also questions about expertise and privilege. Senior scientists benefit from where can you buy propecia many layers of privilege. Investment in their education, expertise in specialized areas, and access to information or materials.

Arguably, these privileges come with a responsibility to use expertise for the benefit of society. If the RaDVaC treatment is potentially beneficial, then it is tragic not to where can you buy propecia test it in a rigorously designed study. Indeed, uncontrolled self-experimentation is part of a larger problem in the hair loss treatment propecia.

Panic about the propecia has led to the widespread use of interventions outside of well-designed clinical trials. Without such where can you buy propecia trials, we remain in the dark about which interventions offer net benefits or net harms. Insofar as the scientists involved have expertise in treatment research, they should either reform the RaDVaC project or lend their expertise to serious projects.

On the other hand, if scientists donât have relevant expertise, their overconfidence at their ability to work outside of their wheelhouse may be harmful. Earlier this week, Steven Salzberg, a computational biologist, called for experimental hair loss treatments to be rolled out before the results of phase III where can you buy propecia testing.

In response to the hair loss treatment propecia, members of the buy brand name propecia online Rapid Deployment treatment https://www.gastern.at/event/bioabfall-128/ Collaborative (or RaDVaC)âa group composed of scientists and their friends or colleaguesâhave been self-administering an untested treatment for hair loss (the propecia that causes hair loss treatment). The RaDVaC scientists describe their project as aiming âto reduce risk of harm from hair loss, minimally until there is at least one effective commercial treatment widely available.â Although the projectâs white paper includes includes terms and conditions designed to shield the authors from liability, RaDVaCâs self-experimentation raises important legal and ethical questions. Self-experimentation has a fascinating history buy brand name propecia online. In the early 1900s, Walter Reed conducted experiments in Cuba deliberately exposing individuals to yellow fever that included members of the study team as participants.

These led to significant public health benefits in confirming that yellow fever was transmitted by mosquitoes, but also resulted in the deaths of several participants. Some Nobel Prizeâwinning work by scientists was buy brand name propecia online based on self-experimentation that initially was seen as crazy. For instance, in 1984, Barry Marshall swallowed bacteria to prove that they caused gastritis and peptic ulcers. Many cardiac procedures are based on a 1929 experiment by a German doctor who inserted a catheter into his own heart.

Perhaps surprisingly, self-experimentation was buy brand name propecia online once considered an ethical safeguard. The Nuremberg Code, established in response to grossly unethical experiments during World War II, permitted higher risk research if investigators also volunteered to participate, as they had in the earlier yellow fever studies. However, the idea that self-experimentation can justify higher research risks was abandoned in later codes of ethics. Not only is self-experimentation legally and ethically complex, but protections like independent review and buy brand name propecia online informed consent, which are now required by research regulations, may be a better way to protect research participants.

However, Harvard is covered by a âfederalwide assuranceâ under which the institution has agreed that all research it conducts will abide by the regulations (regardless of funding source). If studies of immune responses involving self-experimentation are planned in George Churchâs laboratory at Harvard, buy brand name propecia online as has been reported, this undoubtedly requires approval by an Institutional Review Board, which would provide some oversight of this self-experimentation. If results are to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, moreover, most, if not all, journals would require assurance of regulatory review and oversight. The U.S.

Food and Drug Administration has similar power to regulate research, and, perhaps more relevant for our purposes, âdrugsâ (including human biological materials and biologics)âeven if they are not distributed buy brand name propecia online for profit. The RaDVaC project uses biological materialsâmore specifically, small chains of amino acids from key hair loss proteinsâand therefore may fall under the FDAâs jurisdiction. While the FDA has not traditionally exercised this authority to regulate the analogous practice of small scale, do-it-yourself biohacking, it retains the power to do so in the future. Finally, if people were harmed by taking this treatment, they buy brand name propecia online could also sue RaDVaC, but the disclaimers in the white paper are carefully designed to avoid liability.

Even if the law doesnât adequately address this behavior, it may be ethically problematicâincluding because it could be a waste of scientific expertise and research effort. If RaDVaC intends to produce generalizable knowledge about this treatment, unsystematic self-experimentation is unlikely to produce useful information. For example, self-experimentation can lead to biased results if buy brand name propecia online researchers overestimate the chance that the treatment works, or fail to report side effects. Randomized controlled trials, by contrast, are typically designed with researchers being blinded to who receives the intervention or the placebo.

Beyond self-experimentation, friends, staff members, and family members of the scientists involved are taking this treatment based on these expertâs recommendations, which could lead to two potential misconceptions. First, people taking the treatment buy brand name propecia online might overestimate the likelihood that they are protected from hair loss and change their behavior. If some individuals falsely believe they are protected, they might engage in riskier behavior that could cause harm to themselves and others. A second misconception is the idea that this is research that could benefit others.

The same data analyst seemed to believe this when he added âmy continued existence through this propecia will be a useful data set.â Yet the RaDVaC project could not produce useful data in the same way as standard, well-designed treatment trials, for example, because it is unclear whether individuals receiving the buy brand name propecia online treatment are thoroughly evaluated or monitored, and there does not appear to be a control group. Even if everyone involved with this project fully understands what they are getting into, however, there are also questions about expertise and privilege. Senior scientists benefit from many layers of privilege buy brand name propecia online. Investment in their education, expertise in specialized areas, and access to information or materials.

Arguably, these privileges come with a responsibility to use expertise for the benefit of society. If the RaDVaC treatment is potentially beneficial, then it is tragic not to test buy brand name propecia online it in a rigorously designed study. Indeed, uncontrolled self-experimentation is part of a larger problem in the hair loss treatment propecia. Panic about the propecia has led to the widespread use of interventions outside of well-designed clinical trials.

Without such trials, we remain in the dark about which interventions buy brand name propecia online offer net benefits or net harms. Insofar as the scientists involved have expertise in treatment research, they should either reform the RaDVaC project or lend their expertise to serious projects. On the other hand, if scientists donât have relevant expertise, their overconfidence at their ability to work outside of their wheelhouse may be harmful. Earlier this week, buy brand name propecia online Steven Salzberg, a computational biologist, called for experimental hair loss treatments to be rolled out before the results of phase III testing.

An op-ed denouncing his misinformed view was published the next day, and Salzberg reversed his position immediately. Similarly, some of the named members of the RaDVaC project have expertise in genetics, neuroscience, and anti-aging research.

Note. Content may be edited for style and length.About 36 million people have blindness including 1 million children. Additionally, 216 million people experience moderate to severe visual impairment. However, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education maintains a reliance on three-dimensional imagery for education.

Most of this imagery is inaccessible to students with blindness. A breakthrough study by Bryan Shaw, Ph.D., professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Baylor University, aims to make science more accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired through small, candy-like models.The Baylor-led study, published May 28 in the journal Science Advances, uses millimeter-scale gelatin models -- similar to gummy bears -- to improve visualization of protein molecules using oral stereognosis, or visualization of 3D shapes via the tongue and lips. The goal of the study was to create smaller, more practical tactile models of 3D imagery depicting protein molecules. The protein molecules were selected because their structures are some of the most numerous, complex and high-resolution 3D images presented throughout STEM education."Your tongue is your finest tactile sensor -- about twice as sensitive as the finger tips -- but it is also a hydrostat, similar to an octopus arm.

It can wiggle into grooves that your fingers won't touch, but nobody really uses the tongue or lips in tactile learning. We thought to make very small, high-resolution 3D models, and visualize them by mouth," Shaw said.The study included 396 participants in total -- 31 fourth- and fifth-graders as well as 365 college students. Mouth, hands and eyesight were tested at identifying specific structures. All students were blindfolded during the oral and manual tactile model testing.Each participant was given three minutes to assess or visualize the structure of a study protein with their fingertips, followed by one minute with a test protein.

After the four minutes, they were asked whether the test protein was the same or a different model than the initial study protein. The entire process was repeated using the mouth to discern shape instead of the fingers.Students recognized strucÂ¬tures by mouth at 85.59% accuracy, similar to recognition by eyesight using computer animation. Testing involved identical edible gelatin models and nonedible 3D-printed models. Gelatin models were correctly identified at rates comparable to the nonedible models.

advertisement "You can visualize the shapes of these tiny objects as accurately by mouth as by eyesight. That was actually surprising," Shaw said.The models, which can be used for students with or without visual impairment, offer a low-cost, portable and convenient way to make 3D imagery more accessible. The methods of the study are not limited to molecular models of protein structures -- oral visualization could be done with any 3D model, Shaw said.Additionally, while gelatin models were the only edible models tested, Shaw's team created high-resolution models from other edible materials, including taffy and chocolate. Certain surface features of the models, like a proteins pattern of positive and negative surface charge, could be represented using different flavor patterns on the model."This methodology could be applied to images and models of anything, like cells, organelles, 3D surfaces in math or 3D pieces of art -- any 3D rendering.

It's not limited to STEM, but useful for humanities too," said Katelyn Baumer, doctoral candidate and lead author of the study.Shaw's lab sees oral visualization through tiny models as a beneficial addition to the multisensory learning tools available for students, particularly those with extraordinary visual needs. Models like the ones in this study can make STEM more accessible to students with blindness or visual impairment."Students with blindness are systematically excluded from chemistry, and much of STEM. Just look around our labs and you can see why -- there is Braille on the elevator button up to the lab and Braille on the door of the lab. That's where accessibility ends.

Baylor is the perfect place to start making STEM more accessible. Baylor could become an oasis for people with disabilities to learn STEM," Shaw said.Shaw isn't new to high-profile research related to visual impairment. He has received recognition for his work on the White Eye Detector app. Shaw and Greg Hamerly, Ph.D., associate professor of computer science at Baylor, built the mobile app which serves as a tool for parents to screen for pediatric eye disease.

Shaw's inspiration for the app came after his son, Noah, was diagnosed with retinoblastoma at four months of age..

Diffuse hair loss propecia

The term âmRNAâ only entered the average household in the diffuse hair loss propecia past few months, as Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech released their hair loss treatment Buy propecia from canada treatments. But a handful of scientists have spent decades studying this novel approach to immunization. By the start of the propecia diffuse hair loss propecia the technology was already so advanced that, when Chinese researchers published the genetic sequence for the hair loss in mid-January, Moderna was able to concoct a treatment within 48 hours. Clinical trials began a matter of weeks after that.

In nine months, the world was diffuse hair loss propecia well on its way to viral security.It was a stunning debut for mRNA â shorthand for messenger ribonucleic acid, DNAâs sidekick â which had long ranked as a promising but unproven treatment. After this encouraging success, its proponents predict an equally impressive future. They have always believed in mRNAâs ability to protect against not only the likes of hair loss, but also a host of deadly diseases that resist traditional treatments, from malaria to HIV to cancer. In 2018, long diffuse hair loss propecia before the past yearâs confidence-boosting display, a group of researchers announced âa new era in vaccinology.âIt remains to be seen whether mRNA will live up to the hype.

With concrete results attesting to its potential, though, interest is growing among investors and researchers alike. It helps that regulatory agencies and the public are familiar with it now, too, diffuse hair loss propecia says Yale immunologist Rick Bucala. ÂThat has really changed the landscape.âAndrew Geall, co-founder of one company testing RNA treatments and chief scientific officer of another, notes that mRNA has only just entered its infancy after a long gestation. Such is the nature diffuse hair loss propecia of scientific progress.

ÂWeâve had the technology bubbling for 20 years, and the major breakthrough is this clinical proof of two treatments,â he says. ÂNow weâre set for 10 years of excitement.âNext Steps for mRNAThe goal of any treatment is to train the immune system to recognize and defend against a propecia. Traditional treatments do so by exposing the body to the diffuse hair loss propecia propecia itself, weakened or dead, or to a part of the propecia, called an antigen. The new shots, as their name suggests, introduce only mRNA â the genetic material that, as you may remember from high school biology, carries instructions for making proteins.

Once the mRNA enters the cells, particles called diffuse hair loss propecia ribosomes read its instructions and use them to build the encoded proteins. In the case of the hair loss treatments, those proteins are the crown-shaped âspikeâ antigens from which the hair loss derives its name (âcoronaâ means crown in Latin). By themselves they are harmless, but the immune system attacks them as foreign invaders, and in doing so learns how to ward off the real diffuse hair loss propecia propecia. If it ever rears its spiky head thereafter, the body will remember and swiftly destroy it.But besides liberating the world from the worst propecia in generations, mRNA could help to vanquish many an intractable illness.

If all the dreams of its advocates are realized, the hair loss treatments may, in hindsight, be only a proof of concept. In February, for example, Bucala and diffuse hair loss propecia his colleagues patented a treatment against malaria, which has likely killed more humans than any other single cause and has mostly withstood immunization.Justin Richner, an immunologist with the University of Illinois, Chicago, is developing an mRNA treatment for dengue, another highly resistant propecia. Because mRNA is simply a genetic sequence, scientists can easily tweak it as necessary to find the most effective combination. ÂOne of diffuse hair loss propecia the advantages of the mRNA platform is how it can be so easily modified and manipulated to test novel hypotheses,â Richner says.Read more.

Dengue Fever Is on the Rise â a Ticking Time Bomb in Many Places Around the WorldGeall says the obvious candidates for mRNA treatments include what he calls the âBig 6,â all of which remain crafty foes. Malaria, cancer, diffuse hair loss propecia tuberculosis HIV, cytomegalopropecia, and respiratory syncytial propecia. His own company, Replicate Bioscience, is working on the cancer front, as are several others, including BioNTech. Through genetic analysis of individual tumors, patients could one day receive personalized treatments, designed to target the specific mutations afflicting them.Currently, itâs difficult to tell whether an mRNA treatment will work on any particular pathogen.

Many have diffuse hair loss propecia shown promise in animal trials, only to falter in our species. As Geall put it, âmice are not humans.â Some appear to be better bets than others â cytomegalopropecia and RSV respiratory syncytial propecia in particular â but for now, itâs too early to say where mRNA will next bear fruit. ÂDespite all we know about immunology, a diffuse hair loss propecia lot of it is really empiric,â Bucala says. ÂYou just have to try things and see if they work.â The propecia TamerBased on its recent achievements, mRNAâs next act may well involve the next propecia.

Perhaps its biggest strength is that it can be manufactured at speeds unheard of in the realm of diffuse hair loss propecia traditional treatments, making it well-suited to addressing sudden surges of propeciaes. ÂOne of the great things about the mRNA field is how quickly you can go from a concept into a therapy that is ready for clinical trials,â Richner says. ÂWe can make multiple different treatments and test them in a really rapid process.âRead more. hair loss treatment.

A Basic Guide to Different treatment Types and How They WorkSince 2018, Pfizer and BioNTech have been working on an mRNA treatment for seasonal flu. Under the status quo, experts must predict which variation of the propecia will pose the greatest threat each year and produce treatments to match it. But because mRNA is so easy to edit, it can be modified more efficiently to keep pace with the ever-mutating strains. ÂI do think the influenza treatment field will be transformed in the not too distant future,â Richner says.

A similar kind of gene-based treatment, made with self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), is even more nimble. Whereas basic mRNA treatments â like Modernaâs and Pfizer-BioNTechâs â inject all the genetic material at once, the self-amplifying version replicates itself inside the cell. Just a small dose of this potent product can trigger the same immune response as a syringe-full of the current shots. Bucalaâs malaria treatment and Geallâs cancer treatments both use this technology.

ÂThe big problem is that treatments donât prevent s,â Bucala says. ÂVaccinations prevent s.â With saRNA, manufacturers can ensure a lot more of them. After mRNAâs brilliant battle against hair loss treatment, itâs tempting to think of it as a panacea. But, Bucala says, âIs there something intrinsically revolutionary about mRNA?.

Hurdles aside, though, the possibilities are vast, and investment may rise to meet the industryâs ambitions. treatment development isnât typically a lucrative business, but hair loss treatment has made more than a few billionaires, âand others are watching,â Bucala says.

ÂI think it should become economically viable in our [current] model to get into treatment work again.âGeall agrees. Even if some mRNA endeavors fizzle out, at least a few are bound to make the world proud. ÂThereâs a lot of money out there that is going to be invested into these new approaches,â he says.

Cracked down on drugs in the 1970s, the effort dried up most funding and research into psychedelic substances â which only in the past few years have regained momentum in the field of psychotherapy. In the â70s, rather than shut down all his work, one psychedelic researcher at Johns Hopkins University, Stan Grof, turned his attention to another potential avenue for attaining non-ordinary states of consciousness. Breathing.Grof, alongside his wife at the time, Christina Grof, developed the term Holotropic Breathwork for this technique, which loosely translates as âmoving toward wholeness.â The practice in experiential psychotherapy emerged in the 1980s as a tool for self-exploration and inner healing, and has certified teaches who now facilitate it around the world. The framework integrates music with modern consciousness research, psychology and Eastern spiritual practices, according to the Grof Transpersonal Training program.Many people today teach this intense breathing practice, and other similar techniques that preceded it, such as kundalini yoga or pranayama.

But questions remain about the science behind what exactly is happening in the mind and body while practitioners lie on the floor and breathe persistently in rapid patterns. And some clinicians have raised concerns about the safety, and risks, in a field with limited peer-reviewed studies.Meditation on a Freight TrainStacia Butterfield has been a certified Holotropic Breathwork teacher with Grof Transpersonal Training for roughly 15 years. She committed to the work after having her own life-changing experience at a workshop, and has since worked closely with Grof himself and guided thousands of people in the practice. ÂItâs deceptively simple.

It seems like just turning on music, laying down and taking some breaths, and away you go,â Butterfield says. ÂWhat weâre actually relying on is the spontaneous mobilization of the psyche.âFirst and foremost, a guided Holotropic Breathwork session requires creating a safe container, Butterfield says, where people can let go of inhibitions or mental blocks. Facilitators are trained to guide people through that process in a group setting.One session lasts between two and three hours â often as part of a weekend or week-long retreat. People pair off and alternate in the roles of âsitterâ (assisting the other) and âbreatherâ (the person doing the heavy breathing).

To begin, rhythmic drumming sets the mood. The breather lays down and starts breathing rapidly, in a continuous way with no real break between inhales and exhales.The music typically has an emotional arc, almost like a movie soundtrack. It might start off evocative and stimulating, then turn âincreasingly dramatic and dynamic, and finally it reaches a breakthrough quality,â according to a guide written by Stan and Christina Grof. This guide notes that when the breathing leads to non-ordinary states of consciousness in a practitioner, âthere is a potential for unusually intense projections, including regressed longings for nurturing, sexual contact, or spiritual connection.â Facilitators are advised to assist clients with these feelings as they arise, while following their agreement to conduct the practice in an ethical manner.Butterfield says one core principle, like somatic therapy, is for participants to become aware of the messages and wisdom in their own body.

ÂSo many people are so busy, just cruising around [and] keeping the lid on everything else that is going on internally,â she says. Â[In a session] they can just close their eyes and go inward, and see whatâs there.â She says visions, strong bodily sensations and emotions often arise. And she has watched people who had tried years of talk therapy make substantial progress in processing grief and loss, past trauma, life changes or even mental illnesses.One practitioner aptly described this practice as âmeditation on a freight train,â Butterfield adds. The reported dramatic experiences spark questions about what might actually be happening within the body and brain.Mysticism or Hyperventilation?.

Pulmonologist Michael Stephen, author of the book Breath Taking, says the practice of Holotropic Breathwork raises red flags for him because of its use of over-breathing, or hyperventilation. Biologically, when someone breathes heavily for an extended period, they can lose too much carbon dioxide, which makes the blood overly alkaline. The phenomenon often triggers an immediately physiological response. ÂWe start to get tingly in our fingers and dizzy when we hyperventilate, as our pH is rising too much,â says Stephen.Prolonged, excessive pH levels in the blood can also cause seizures, he adds.

ÂJust before seizures happen, you can get lightheaded, a sort of high.â He attributes this to the non-ordinary states of consciousness that people might feel during Holotropic Breathwork. But he says few proper studies have been done on the practice because of the dangers and ethics involved.Casualties of Heavy BreathingAnother breath specialist and integrative psychiatrist, Patricia Gerbarg, says that Holotropic Breathwork, and other forceful respiratory practices such as breath of fire, do have the potential to alter the mind. They can also bring about a lasting impact on people, but itâs not always beneficial or predictable.âItâs a stress on the system. Youâre going through rapid changes in oxygen levels and the balance of various substances in the body and the brain,â she says.

And similar to drugs, âpeople can use them to attain different mental states,â she adds.Read More. Can Breathing Like Wim Hof Make Us Super Human?. Healthy people tend to have a broader tolerance to endure these shifts and unpredictable outcomes. But the same behavior can be harmful to someone who is less healthy, or dealing with a psychological disorder, says Gerbarg, who teaches psychiatry at New York Medical College.âThose kinds of intense, rapid shifts in your brain chemistry can cause adverse effects,â she says, adding that she is familiar with cases where people feel they ânever recoveredâ from what these states did to them.

Some literature uses the term kundalini psychosis, or physio kundalini syndrome, to describe people who cognitively lose touch with reality in pursuit of "spiritual awakening."One of Gerbargâs concerns about the rise in popularity of these advanced, Eastern breathing practices is how they are inserted into the Western world and modern mindset. (Two other intense and forceful breathing practices include Tummo breathing, with a Tibetan buddhist lineage, and the Wim Hof Method.) The breathwork is often tied closely to a lifestyle and belief system, and many traditional practitioners dedicate hours a day for many years to master the techniques in a healthy way. Alternatively, people in modern Western cultures often struggle to commit to a new practice for 20 minute a day. Â[Intense breathwork] is becoming increasingly popular and people are doing it online,â Gerbarg says.

ÂThey arenât often aware that there are risks,â or they might not know the pre-existing conditions their students have. The big responsibility ultimately falls on the teachers and facilitators to ensure everyone is safe. A Gentler TouchGerbarg and her husband Richard Brown, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, have published several books on the healing potential of breath. And they offer evidence-based workshops and teaching resources through their Breath-Body-Mind Foundation.One of their most popular techniques, called coherent breathing, teaches gentle, slower and relaxed respiration.

Once practitioners learn it, they can use it any point throughout the day when stress or anxiety is likely to rise up â even in mundane circumstances like being stuck in a long line â and trigger a string of reactions in the body.The goal is to inhale and exhale slowly through the nose at a rate of about five breaths per minute, or one breath cycle every 12 seconds. Gerbarg says this process can promptly activate the rest-and-restore parasympathetic nervous system throughout the body, with millions of reactions and signals firing every second.Read More. How Slow, Deep Breathing Taps Into a Natural Rhythm in Our BodiesâIt tells the brain, âthe conditions are safe,â â she says.

But it carries less risk and broader appeal to anyone interested in channeling their own breath for health and wellness..

The term https://www.ferienhaus-sticher-borkum.de/buy-propecia-from-canada/ âmRNAâ only entered the average household in the past few months, as Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech released their hair loss treatment buy brand name propecia online treatments. But a handful of scientists have spent decades studying this novel approach to immunization. By the start of the propecia the technology was already so advanced that, when Chinese researchers buy brand name propecia online published the genetic sequence for the hair loss in mid-January, Moderna was able to concoct a treatment within 48 hours.

Clinical trials began a matter of weeks after that. In nine months, the world was well on its way to buy brand name propecia online viral security.It was a stunning debut for mRNA â shorthand for messenger ribonucleic acid, DNAâs sidekick â which had long ranked as a promising but unproven treatment. After this encouraging success, its proponents predict an equally impressive future.

They have always believed in mRNAâs ability to protect against not only the likes of hair loss, but also a host of deadly diseases that resist traditional treatments, from malaria to HIV to cancer. In 2018, long before the past yearâs confidence-boosting display, a group of researchers announced âa new era in vaccinology.âIt remains to be seen whether mRNA will live up to the buy brand name propecia online hype. With concrete results attesting to its potential, though, interest is growing among investors and researchers alike.

It helps that regulatory agencies and the public are familiar with it now, too, says Yale immunologist Rick Bucala buy brand name propecia online. ÂThat has really changed the landscape.âAndrew Geall, co-founder of one company testing RNA treatments and chief scientific officer of another, notes that mRNA has only just entered its infancy after a long gestation. Such is buy brand name propecia online the nature of scientific progress.

ÂWeâve had the technology bubbling for 20 years, and the major breakthrough is this clinical proof of two treatments,â he says. ÂNow weâre set for 10 years of excitement.âNext Steps for mRNAThe goal of any treatment is to train the immune system to recognize and defend against a propecia. Traditional treatments buy brand name propecia online do so by exposing the body to the propecia itself, weakened or dead, or to a part of the propecia, called an antigen.

The new shots, as their name suggests, introduce only mRNA â the genetic material that, as you may remember from high school biology, carries instructions for making proteins. Once the buy brand name propecia online mRNA enters the cells, particles called ribosomes read its instructions and use them to build the encoded proteins. In the case of the hair loss treatments, those proteins are the crown-shaped âspikeâ antigens from which the hair loss derives its name (âcoronaâ means crown in Latin).

By themselves they are harmless, but the immune system attacks them as foreign invaders, buy brand name propecia online and in doing so learns how to ward off the real propecia. If it ever rears its spiky head thereafter, the body will remember and swiftly destroy it.But besides liberating the world from the worst propecia in generations, mRNA could help to vanquish many an intractable illness. If all the dreams of its advocates are realized, the hair loss treatments may, in hindsight, be only a proof of concept.

In February, for example, Bucala and his colleagues patented a treatment against malaria, which has likely killed more humans than any other single cause and has mostly buy brand name propecia online withstood immunization.Justin Richner, an immunologist with the University of Illinois, Chicago, is developing an mRNA treatment for dengue, another highly resistant propecia. Because mRNA is simply a genetic sequence, scientists can easily tweak it as necessary to find the most effective combination. ÂOne of the advantages of the mRNA platform is how it can be so easily buy brand name propecia online modified and manipulated to test novel hypotheses,â Richner says.Read more.

Through genetic analysis of individual tumors, patients could one day receive personalized treatments, designed to target the specific mutations afflicting them.Currently, itâs difficult to tell whether an mRNA treatment will work on any particular pathogen. Many have shown promise buy brand name propecia online in animal trials, only to falter in our species. As Geall put it, âmice are not humans.â Some appear to be better bets than others â cytomegalopropecia and RSV respiratory syncytial propecia in particular â but for now, itâs too early to say where mRNA will next bear fruit.

ÂDespite all we know about immunology, a lot of buy brand name propecia online it is really empiric,â Bucala says. ÂYou just have to try things and see if they work.â The propecia TamerBased on its recent achievements, mRNAâs next act may well involve the next propecia. Perhaps its biggest strength buy brand name propecia online is that it can be manufactured at speeds unheard of in the realm of traditional treatments, making it well-suited to addressing sudden surges of propeciaes.

ÂOne of the great things about the mRNA field is how quickly you can go from a concept into a therapy that is ready for clinical trials,â Richner says. ÂWe can make multiple different treatments and test them in a really rapid process.âRead more. hair loss treatment.

ÂI do think the influenza treatment field will be transformed in the not too distant future,â Richner says. A similar kind of gene-based treatment, made with self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), is even more nimble. Whereas basic mRNA treatments â like Modernaâs and Pfizer-BioNTechâs â inject all the genetic material at once, the self-amplifying version replicates itself inside the cell.

Just a small dose of this potent product can trigger the same immune response as a syringe-full of the current shots. Bucalaâs malaria treatment and Geallâs cancer treatments both use this technology. ÂThe big problem is that treatments donât prevent s,â Bucala says.

ÂVaccinations prevent s.â With saRNA, manufacturers can ensure a lot more of them. After mRNAâs brilliant battle against hair loss treatment, itâs tempting to think of it as a panacea. But, Bucala says, âIs there something intrinsically revolutionary about mRNA?.

treatment development isnât typically a lucrative business, but hair loss treatment has made more than a few billionaires, âand others are watching,â Bucala says. ÂI think it should become economically viable in our [current] model to get into treatment work again.âGeall agrees. Even if some mRNA endeavors fizzle out, at least a few are bound to make the world proud.
