Little Mixs Jade Thirlwall and Jesy Nelson cried after being forced to axe contestants on new talent show T – The Sun

THEYVE been on the receiving end of plenty of unnecessary criticism over the years and Little Mix clearly hate dishing it out themselves.

The girl group struggled to hold back the tears during a session for their new BBC1 singing competition The Search on Friday night, when they were forced to send some of the wannabes packing.

8

Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall sobbed after axing two talented singers during the auditions, which were held in front of a studio audience at The Backstage Centre in Purfleet, Essex.

The pair had to be comforted by bandmates Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock before filming could resume.

An audience member said: The girls have invested a lot in the people taking part in the show and feel attached to all of them.

So to have to start waving goodbye to some of the acts was really difficult. Some of the singers got upset and that set off Jesy and Jade.

8

"Its the hardest part of the show so far and it was a highly emotional night.

Jesy and Jade both had tears streaming down their faces.

Its clear the show means so much to them and they really care for their acts.

The programme has a similar format to The Voice, which switched from the Beeb to ITV in 2017.

Behind closed doors, the girls whittled down hundreds of hopefuls to six groups.

Those six bands then performed before a studio audience in a bid to get through to the live finals.

Two or three members of each band were sent home, prompting the chart-toppers outpouring of emotion.

The surviving singers were told they would remain in their groups for the finals, with one band then crowned overall champions.

8

The pre-recorded auditions will go out in April before four live shows in May, airing in primetime Saturday night slots.

As well as getting the chance to work with Little Mix and top producers, the winning group will join Jesy, Jade, Perrie and Leigh-Anne on their upcoming summer tour.

That will save them forking out for their own Little Mix tickets.

OZZY OSBOURNE says stem cell treatment and Pilates will help him manage his Parkinsons disease and get back on stage.

His wife SHARON told Good Morning Britain: Theres a professor there (Switzerland).

"He hasnt got a cure for Parkinsons no one has but what he can do is get Ozzys immune system to here [pointing up].

"Now, if Ozzy was to catch a cold, it would turn into pneumonia.

This professor has come up with a way of doing stem cells which helps with the pain.

"He could hopefully get rid of the pain and then Ozzy will be healthier to deal with the Parkinsons.

MUSIC mogul Jay Z is already worth more than 800million and now he is set to pocket a further 8million . . . for doing very little.

Im told the rapper is about to sign a new deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, who will manage all the songs he has written to date.

8

The rapper has had talks with label executive Jon Platt, who has signed similar deals with Jays wife Beyonce and Rihanna in recent months.

Jay has previously called Platt his brother and described him as the Obama of the music industry.

The seven-figure sum is one of the biggest of its kind in music publishing and will give Jay a nice bit of pocket money.

A music insider said: Sony has had its eye on Jay for a while and they have reached a deal which allows them to manage the songs he has written in exchange for one of the biggest advances in publishing history.

"This helps him extend his lead as one of the wealthiest artists in the business.

Its a savvy move for Jay, who has proved himself to be a talented entrepreneur since launching his entertainment agency Roc Nation 12 years ago.

It looks after the careers of artists including Shakira and rappers Big Sean and Meek Mill.

Jay is believed to be working on his 14th solo studio album, following on from 2017s 4:44 and his collaborative album with Beyonce, Everything Is Love, in 2018.

With all of that money pouring in, Im not surprised Jay is in no rush to follow it up.

Groundbreaking Ultrasound Guided Injectable Course To Premier at Los Angeles Multi-Specialty Cosmetic Academy Meeting 2020 – Yahoo Finance

LOS ANGELES, March 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --The world's most innovative medical aesthetic leaders will join together on March 26-29th at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills to share the latest discoveries, trends, and techniques shaping the industry. It will also be one of world's first meetings to offer an ultrasound guided course related to injectables.

"Ultrasound technology is the wave of the future for both guiding us in injection safety and also managing complications," says Dr. Kian Karimi, course chairman and double-board certified facial plastic and head and neck surgeon. "I am so proud that LA-MCA 2020 will be pioneering this groundbreaking application of technology."

The conference is hosted by Los Angeles Multi-Specialty Cosmetic Academy (LA-MCA), an acclaimed medical educational congress comprised of over 70 top tier physicians, practitioners, and medical device manufacturers.

The new course will utilize ultrasound technology to give a complete insight into facial anatomy, thereby increasing the safety of injectable treatments and reducing the hazards of technical complications and adverse events. Dr. Steve Weiner and Dr. Young Cho will demonstrate how to use ultrasound imaging while injecting to avoid intravascular injections and alsoto identify, treat, and prevent complications.

The summit's keynote speaker will be a renowned expert in addiction medicine, Dr. Keith Heinzerling. He'll be discussing the development of psychedelic-assisted therapies and the scientific exploration of how altered states of consciousness can be harnessed to change behavior and improve brain health. Dr. Heinzerling is the director of the Pacific Treatment & Research In Psychedelics (TRIP) Program of the Pacific Neuroscience Institute. He'll be giving a glimpse into the future of how psychedelics will change behavioral and psychological medicine as we know it.

"This is a think tank of the top doctors who are all there to share the latest techniques and technologies with their peers," says Dr. Karimi.

LA-MCA is comprised of internationally acclaimed medical providers including Ben Talei, MD, Sheila Nazarian, MD, and John Diaz, MD.

The forum will host a variety of live demos including injectable and thread lifting techniques, platelet, plasma, and stem cell therapy, the next generation of lasers, and emerging cosmetic technologies.

A hands-on human cadaver dissection workshop will give select attendees an intimate opportunity to explore facial anatomy in order to produce excellent results and avoid complications in their own patients.

Variability the norm for the support of pediatric patients with HSCT – NewsDio

ORLANDO, Florida It is not the wild west, but there are significant variations between treatment centers in supportive care for children who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplants, and some of the variations can negatively affect the results.That was the central theme of a session at the annual transplant and cell therapy meeting here that focused on divergent practices among US transplant centers. UU. In relation to diet, when it is safe to return to school and when to revaccinate children who have reconstituted immune systems.

Food for thoughtFor example, the neutropenic diet, which is still used in some centers, is a remnant from the first days of bone marrow transplants, when the risks were not well understood and where transplant recipients were protected in aseptic or sterile environments, said Cynthia Taggart, RD, of the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Ohio.

"The history of the neutropenic diet is based on logic, prudent practice and reasonable theoretical logic, but there is no evidence to support this idea," he said.

The decidedly Spartan neutropenic diet does not allow fresh fruits or vegetables, requires that meat and fish be cooked at a reasonable price and does not allow cold meats or shared foods."In the last 20 years there has been a lot of research showing that we don't have a common name for the neutropenic diet, we really don't know when to start the neutropenic diet, and then we often have our own opinions on what we should allow our patients to have or not have, "said Taggart.He noted studies comparing diet regimes that found no advantage or even possible detriments to a neutropenic diet compared to a more forgiving diet based on food safety principles, such as cooking meat at a minimum temperature of 165 F (73.9 C).

Cynthia Taggart

For example, a retrospective study of 726 patients at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, where the neutropenic diet was discontinued in 2006, showed a higher rate of infections, especially after grafting among HSCT recipients who ate a neutropenic diet in comparison with those who ate a general hospital diet. Patients with neutropenic diet had more frequent diarrhea and urinary infections and an increase in graft-versus-host disease grade 2-4 (GVHD), although there were no significant differences in survival rates. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2012; 18: 1385-1390).

In 2019, Taggart and his colleagues published the results of a controlled study before and after in pediatric patients and consecutive young adults who underwent HSCT at their center in 2014.From January to June of that year, all patients underwent a traditional neutropenic diet, and from July 1 until the end of the year they received a modified bone marrow transplant diet (BMT). The researchers evaluated both subjective measures (e.g., food cravings, limiting factors for eating and quality of life) and objective measures (e.g., rates of bloodstream infections, GVHF, mortality, days of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and norovirus infections) (Blood marrow transplant Biol. 2019; 25: 1382-1386).The patients were happier with the less restrictive diet, and the researchers found that there were no significant differences in the first 100 days in any of the objective measures mentioned above, "so it made no difference in what diet they were and improved satisfaction of the patient when he received a diet based on food safety instead of a neutropenic diet, "said Taggart.At its center, patients and caregivers receive information on food safety principles, including cleaning hands, utensils and food preparation surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling food; avoiding cross contamination of ready-to-eat foods by keeping them separated from raw meats; cook food at safe internal temperatures as recorded on a food thermometer; and quickly refrigerating food.

"It is time to get away from the neutropenic diet and work to improve the quality of life of our patients to improve their oral intake while undergoing a transplant," he said.

Back to school?There is no clear consensus on the ideal time to return to school for transplant recipients, said Neel S. Bhatt, MBBS, MPH, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

For example, the National Medical Marrow Donor Program states that "depending on the type of transplant and recovery, a child may return to school with several months of transplant. Other children may return to school a year or more after the transplant. ".

In contrast, the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium states that "in general, once T cells grow back and function properly, all isolation precautions can be stopped (and) your child can return to work / school. ".

Dr. Neel Bhatt

Bhatt noted that a cross-sectional survey of the directors of transplant centers of the Center for International Research on Blood and Marrow Transplants (CIBMTR) asking if their centers had a standard operating procedure (SOP) for the back-to-school process showed that , of the 45 directors of pediatric centers that responded, 28 had a POE and the remaining 17 did not.

Of those surveyed with a SOP back to school, one center said there is a minimum of 9 months before an allogeneic transplant recipient can return to school, a second suggests waiting 6 to 12 months after an allogeneic or autologous transplant, and a third reported that he recommended a minimum of 3 months after an autologous transplant, 6 months after an allogeneic transplant of related donors and 12 months after a transplant of unrelated donors.

In addition, the centers varied according to the functional measures that were used to allow the return to school, such as suspending or decreasing medications against GVHD, CD4 cell count, absolute lymphocyte count and other factors such as psychological preparation and fatigue levels

Helping children reintegrate into academic settings can include workshops for school staff that include conferences, group discussions and presentations or hospital visits, and developmentally appropriate peer education programs, with the aim of improving support for The boy who returns.

"Returning to school is an important milestone for survivors after completing therapy. This process of returning to school is complex, and the support of all stakeholders is essential for a successful transition," Bhatt summarized.

Shot in the armWhen it comes to the decision to revaccinate children who have undergone HSCT and with what vaccines, "variability is the norm," said Donna J. Curtis, MD, MPH, of the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Colorado Children's Hospital in Aurora.

He cited an investigation that showed that before the advent of vaccination guidelines, individual transplant centers created their own, and that even with the guidelines, providers choose to deviate in terms of when to vaccinate, what to give and the rationale for those decisions. .

"Why do we deviate from the guidelines? I want to point out, as everyone knows, that our patients are really complicated," Curtis said.

Dr. Donna Curtis

He said there are both real and perceived gaps in the guidelines that can lead to centers being diverted or ignored, he said, as the populations of more homogeneous patients included in older studies used as evidence; missing data on newer technologies, such as umbilical cord blood transplants, depleted T-cell grafts, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and newer biological agents; and the reality that vaccine recommendations are updated regularly, with new vaccines frequently in practice.

In addition, doctors do not always rely on the guidelines because they change so often, Curtis said, noting that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC / APIC) issues updated guidelines (a often with changing recommendations) annually.

Despite the small variations in the recommendations on time, however, the guidelines issued by major international organizations are very similar, Curtis emphasized. She specifically mentioned the guidelines of the European Conference on Infections in Leukemia (ECIL) of 2017, published in 2019; the 2013 clinical practice guide of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) for immunocompromised host vaccination; and a 2011 report of the International Consensus Conference on clinical practice in chronic IBD on the vaccination of allogeneic HSCT receptors.

As an example, the ECIL guidelines recommend that children who have undergone an allogeneic or autologous HSCT receive the Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine that begins no earlier than 3 months after HSCT, and the Neisseria meningitidis and DTaP vaccine ( diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) (but not the Tdap vaccine) no later than 6 months after HSCT. For other vaccines, there are different recommendations regarding the type of transplant (autologous or allogeneic).

In an interview with Medscape Medical News, Curtis recommended that transplant centers comply with the guidelines of bone marrow transplant organizations whenever possible.

"I think those should be our authorities, the reliable guidelines that we should use as a basis, but because there are gaps in them, each center will have to give its answer on how to apply them," he said. said.

Quality of care at stakeSession assistant Christopher E. Dandoy, MD, MSc, of the Cincinnati Children's Medical Center, told Medscape Medical News that variations in practice can affect the quality of care.

"Unless there is evidence to support a & # 39; true North & # 39; regarding these different processes and practices, it leads us to interpret what we believe we should be doing, and the wide variation in attention leads absolutely to different results, "he said.

"My idea is that we can learn from each other, take advantage of the opportunity to learn what other centers are doing, share data without problems, especially about the important results for families, such as returning to school, that means everything to a child. Therefore, we should be more cognitive and make sure that if there is no evidence, we try to find what works, "he said.

Zachariah DeFilipp, MD, of the Cancer Center of the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, told Medscape Medical News that practice variations such as those described in the session are also common to the practice of HSCT in adults.

"It's also something we've been thinking about," he said. "Many of the traditional transplant recommendations for lifestyle problems have been very conservative, which means that usually when there is a question about & # 39; can I go back to work or go out in public? & # 39 ; the default has been to say & # 39; No & # 39; "

"There is probably little real published evidence to justify those recommendations," DeFillip explained, "and when they were made, we were in a different era of supportive care for our transplant patients. Maybe those were the right decisions at that time, but as transplant has evolved, we probably don't need to be so strict with patients, because some of these recommendations can really affect the patient's quality of life after transplant. "

Taggart did not report a source of funding. Bhatt reported the support of the Seattle Children's Research Fund of CBDC Research & # 39; s. Curtis did not reveal a source of funding. Taggart, Bhatt, Curtis, Dandoy and DeFillip have not disclosed relevant financial relationships.

Organoids, iPSCs, and advanced cell models: Advancing discovery from basic research to drug discovery – Science Magazine

Various in vitro cell culture assays have been used for decades to evaluate disease pathology and uncover potential therapeutic treatments. Despite many successes with these models, they have critical shortcomings. Growing evidence suggests that models providing more predictive and translational observations are desperately needed. Researchers are now moving from reductionist, 2D monoculture assay models to more complex 3D cell models, such as organoids and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) cultures, in order to better evaluate the dynamic interactions between cells in an environment more closely emulating that of the in vivo milieu, and to assess patient-specific phenotypic effects following drug treatment. Effective, well-characterized, advanced cell models hold promise for improving our understanding of disease pathology and progression, and are critical for the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Key Trends

The key factors influencing the growth of the global stem cell therapy market are increasing funds in the development of new stem lines, the advent of advanced genomic procedures used in stem cell analysis, and greater emphasis on human embryonic stem cells. As the traditional organ transplantations are associated with limitations such as infection, rejection, and immunosuppression along with high reliance on organ donors, the demand for stem cell therapy is likely to soar. The growing deployment of stem cells in the treatment of wounds and damaged skin, scarring, and grafts is another prominent catalyst of the market.

On the contrary, inadequate infrastructural facilities coupled with ethical issues related to embryonic stem cells might impede the growth of the market. However, the ongoing research for the manipulation of stem cells from cord blood cells, bone marrow, and skin for the treatment of ailments including cardiovascular and diabetes will open up new doors for the advancement of the market.

‘It’s outrageous’: Costly cancer drugs thrown out because of one-size-fits-all packaging – CBC.ca

The health-care system is wasting millions of dollars by buying cancer medications that are thrown out because of the way they are packaged by drug makers in one-size-fits-all vials that hold too much for most patients, a study found.

"It's outrageous," said drug policy researcher Alan Cassels, who is familiar with the study.

"We have so many demands on our health-care dollars for drugs and doctors and hospitals and so on. So, to see this kind of waste is appalling."

The wastecosts as much as $102 million over a three-year period, according to the studypublished two years ago in the medical journal Cancer.

"What people don't realize is that wastage is actually a real cost that's borne by the provinces or hospitals [and] ultimately the taxpayers," said Dr. Matthew Cheung, a senior co-author ofthe study and a hematologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto.

The drugs are administered in very specific doses based on a patient's weight and/or height, then, because of concerns about possible infection from reusing the same vial, nurses discard the rest.

Some hospitals have been trying to reduce waste by sharing vials, but can only do that with patients who need the same drug on the same day, since many of these medications have a short shelf life once opened.

The study looked at 12 high-priced injectable cancer drugs and found that the amount being wasted per vial ranged from zero to 87.5 per cent.

"We realized that drug wastage is actually a huge component of what we're paying. And again, when we're wasting drugs, we're increasing costs without getting any extra benefit," said Cheung.

In the U.K., the government told drug companies in 2016 they must produce some cancer medications in packaging that reduces waste if they wanted to be considered in the bidding process for which drugs it will purchase.

Since making the change, the U.K.'s National Health Service tells Go Public it's saving an estimated 18 million pounds ($31 million Cdn) per year.

Cassels who is part of the Therapeutics Initiative, an independent drug analysis group based in the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Medicine says the same hard-nosed negotiations done in the U.K. need to happen here.

He says the group that negotiates prescription drug prices here the Pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (PCPA), of which all the provinces are members needs to pressure drugmakers to produce smaller vials and give refunds for what's not used.

Casselssays he expects the drug companies will "lobby and scream and complain," over anything that adds to the cost of production.

"But at the same time, the public agencies have a monopoly in terms of paying for these drugs and they should be able to go to the mat in terms of negotiating the best prices and negotiating refunds if necessary," he said.

He also says the negotiating process also needs to be less secretive. Right now, Canadians are kept in the dark about what the country is paying for these drugs and what specifically is part of the negotiating process.

"The biggest problem with drug prices is sometimes we don't even know what the drug prices are so we don't really know what we're paying for. When you think about other things that we use public money for, like building bridges or roads, those costs are known down to the penny. Whereas in the drug world, oftentimes, the drug costs are completely hidden."

Asked if vial sizes and refunds for unused portions are part of the price negotiations, PCPA tells Go Publicthose talks are "confidential at the request of the manufacturer."

The confidentiality includes pricing information, budget impact estimates, "and other sensitive information is held in confidence and is not disclosed, except in accordance with applicable law or with the consent of the parties," the alliance said.

The provincial agencies that comprise PCPA are, mostly, equally secretive except for B.C., where the Provincial Health Services Authority tells Go Public it typically does ask drugmakers to offer smaller vials.

But, it points out, the vial sizes are set when the drugs are submitted to Health Canada for marketing approval and making a change is a long process. Health Canada didn't respond to questions about that.

When Deb Hebert, who is battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, went to get her stem cell-stimulating drug plerixafor injected by the oncology nurse last month, she realized her dose only required about three-quarters of what was in the vial.

"I asked her what was going to happen with the rest of the medication. She told me that it would be discarded," said Hebert, who has been on sick leave since August from her job as a finance administrator at CBCin Calgary while she battles the disease for the third time.

The same thing happened with Hebert's second dose the next day. Each injection used about 75 per cent of a vial. At $7,893 per vial, that works out to a waste of about $3,900 between the two doses.

Sanofi, the company that makes Hebert's medication, says it sells the drug in that vial size because it's a "typical dose for the majority of the patient population," and, it says, to account for any spillage while the drug is being administered.

The company adds, the drug is "preservative-free and therefore does not support multi-dose usage."
