Mental Health Mobile Apps and the Need to Update Federal Regulations to Protect Users

With greater societal emphasis on the need for better mental health services coupled with COVID-19 limits, mental health mobile applications have significantly risen in variety, availability, and accessibility. As more consumers use mental health mobile applications, more data is generated and collected by mobile application companies. However, consumers may have the false assumption that the data collected is protected under HIPAA or have an expectation of privacy protection higher than current regulations afford. This Note examines HIPAA, Health Breach Notification Rule, and section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as well as how these regulations fall short of protecting the data and privacy of consumers who use mental health mobile apps. This Note then advocates for a preventative approach by Congress towards potential data breaches and protection of data from mental health mobile apps. Looking prospectively, the Note suggests how the gaps in consumer protection can be federally remedied

LED Illuminated Cloth for bicyclists

Many designers have been thinking about saving the bicyclists lives by designing new clothes for them. One of the most popular options is to illuminate the cloth. By producing the cloth with fluorescent material, both the visibility and price of the cloth went skyrocket. According to Michael (2013), the material’s reflect effect is not visible as bicyclists thought. Therefore, I want to take another route that has been designed from the pedestrian, to add LEDs to the cloth

In Utero Transplantation of Placenta-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for Potential Fetal Treatment of Hemophilia A.

Hemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the factor VIII ( FVIII) gene leading to deficient blood coagulation. The current standard of care is frequent infusions of plasma-derived FVIII or recombinant B-domain-deleted FVIII (BDD-FVIII). While this treatment is effective, many patients eventually develop FVIII inhibitors that limit the effectiveness of the infused FVIII. As a monogenic disorder, HA is an ideal target for gene or cell-based therapy. Several studies have investigated allogeneic stem cell therapy targeting in utero or postnatal treatment of HA but have not been successful in completely correcting HA. Autologous in utero transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells is promising for treatment of HA due to the naive immune status of the fetal environment as well as its potential to prevent transplant rejection and long-term FVIII inhibitor formation. HA can be diagnosed by chorionic villus sampling performed during the first trimester (10 to 13 wk) of gestation. In this study, we used an established protocol and isolated placenta-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (PMSCs) from first trimester chorionic villus tissue and transduced them with lentiviral vector encoding the BDD-FVIII gene. We show that gene-modified PMSCs maintain their immunophenotype and multipotency, express, and secrete high levels of active FVIII. PMSCs were then transplanted at embryonic day 14.5 (E14.5) into wild-type fetuses from time-mated pregnant mice. Four days after birth, pups were checked for engraftment, and varying levels of expression of human green fluorescent protein were found in the organs tested. This study shows feasibility of the approach to obtain PMSCs from first trimester chorionic villus tissue, genetically modify them with the FVIII gene, and transplant them in utero for cell-mediated gene therapy of HA. Future studies will involve evaluation of long-term engraftment, phenotypic correction in HA mice, and prevention of FVIII inhibitor development by this approach

Continuous fishing without a grace period is feared to reduce fish population stocks. The approach used to overcome the decline in fish stocks is to find the size of the fish when the gonads first ripen so that it can limit the size of fish that can be caught. Therefore, to carry out responsible and sustainable fish management, information and data regarding these fish are needed by conducting research on the relationship between length and weight of mini purse seine catches in the waters of Kupang Bay. The method used is the observation method. The data analysis applied is descriptive statistics. Based on the results obtained, the growth pattern of mini purse seine caught fish in the Kupang Bay waters is positive allometric with the b value of Amblygaster sirm is 4.3915x, the b value of Decapterus ruseli is 4.0648x, the b value of Auxis thazard is 2.1475x, and the b value of Rastreliger kanagurta is 3,3613x and negative allometric with the b value of Alepes djedaba is 1,2692x and the b value of Rastreliger faughni is 2,336x.                                                                                                              Keywords: Mini Purse Seine, Long and Weight Relationship, Kupang Bay Wate
