Gene Therapy00:59

Gene Therapy

28.3K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Targeted Cancer Therapies

9.2K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Modeling in Therapy

767
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

6.4K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Rare Diseases
  • Patient Advocacy

Background:

  • The internet offers unique opportunities for patient care, particularly for individuals with rare disorders.
  • Low-numbered patient populations can leverage online platforms to form strong international support groups.
  • These groups can bridge gaps between patients, families, physicians, and researchers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how online platforms and international collaboration can enhance research and patient care for rare diseases.
  • To highlight the development and utility of 'waihonapedias' – multilingual databases of longitudinal rare disease data.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of international, motivated, and well-organized patient support groups.
  • Collaborative research agenda setting and knowledge sharing through platforms like wikipedias.
  • Development of multilingual databases ('waihonapedias') for collecting longitudinal patient data.

Main Results:

  • Successful establishment of international collaborations between patients, families, physicians, and researchers.
  • Creation of multilingual databases ('waihonapedias') containing longitudinal physical and behavioral data for rare disorders.
  • Demonstrated potential for improved research and patient care outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Online collaboration and data sharing are powerful tools for advancing rare disease research and patient care.
  • Addressing challenges like online security and diagnostic reliability is crucial for maximizing the benefits of digital health initiatives.
  • International patient networks can significantly improve research efficiency and reduce costs for individuals with rare disorders.
