Genomics

37.9K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.2K
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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.9K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Next-generation Sequencing

93.8K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Area of Science:

  • Genomic Medicine
  • Precision Medicine
  • Healthcare Innovation

Background:

  • Advancements in genomics and successful cancer genomics translation spurred the Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) in 2016.
  • PMI aims to improve disease treatment and create a patient-powered research model.
  • The Department of Defense Military Health System is involved in PMI implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address challenges in implementing genomics within the military health system, focusing on education.
  • To highlight the urgent need for developing educational experiences for clinicians in genomics.
  • To enable military providers to gain competency in genomic medicine relevant to their practice levels.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on the necessity of establishing genomics education tailored to provider responsibilities.
  • Hypothesizes a growing need for formal and informal educational experiences in genomics.
  • Presents various educational approaches currently in practice and development.

Main Results:

  • Identified key challenges to genomics implementation: lack of familiarity, limited expertise, informatics needs, privacy concerns, and policy development.
  • Emphasizes the critical requirement for provider education to bridge the gap in genomic medicine understanding and application.
  • Proposes educational strategies to empower military healthcare providers.

Conclusions:

  • Urgent development of genomics education is essential for military clinicians to meet the demands of precision medicine.
  • Competency in genomics must be commensurate with the provider's level of practice.
  • Informed decision-making and strategic action are needed to integrate genomic medicine effectively within the military health system.
