In-depth immune-reconstitution monitoring should also be part of these studies to better understand the effect of rabbit ATLG exposure on functional immune reconstitution.

Furthermore, immune monitoring also helps to improve understanding of the differences in survival between matched and mismatched donor recipients for the two ATLG doses tested in Locatelli and colleagues’ Article. In conclusion, randomised trials studying different ATLG doses, as presented by Locatelli and colleagues, are timely and highly warranted in children. We have learned that in children receiving a myeloablative HSCT for a malignancy, less ATLG is more survival, particularly for children receiving HSCT from a mismatched unrelated donor. Future studies should focus on analyses of pharmacokinetics and pharma codynamics to further fine tune the dosing and in turn improve survival chances in these vulnerable children.

According to one definition, “Precision medicine is a revolutionary approach for disease prevention and treatment that takes into account individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biology.â€1 Prevention is mentioned side-by-side with treatment. However, what is precision prevention? How can it be conceptualised? In this Comment, we raise some key considerations relating to the development of a science of precision prevention of cancer. First, although some definitions clearly indicate that the term precision refers to an application to individuals, on occasion it is used more narrowly, with reference to molecules—ie, a drug that is tailored to a particular underlying molecular change in a tumour, which happens to reside within a given individual patient.

However, although an effect might be established at the molecular level, it is usually limited in scope and could give the false impression of a curative or preventive power that is absent when transferred into practice. Availability of the tools should not be confused with achievement of the goal. Consequently, the ‘precision’ in precision prevention should refer to the individuals who are the target of the intervention. Second, consideration of inter-individual variability in prevention is hardly new—eg, a focus on more susceptible subgroups has been discussed for decades in relation to cancer screening. In addition, a focus on high- risk individuals because of their genetic background Comment 998 Vol 18 August 2017 has been repeatedly proposed—eg, screening for phenylketonuria in newborns, which permits simple dietary preventive actions.

In this context, perhaps the most promising example involves the genotypic selection of individuals based on prostaglandin pathway studies for aspirin chemoprevention in patients with colorectal neoplasia.2 This example illustrates how complex the application of precision to prevention can be, because, at a molecular level, aspirin is unlikely to exert its effects through a single pathway, but rather through several, either independently or in combination.2 Multiple pathways complicate the identification of individuals who might benefit because their status (genetic or phenotypic) would ideally need to be assessed in relation to each molecular target. Such additional assessments would dilute the promises of precision prevention, especially in terms of cost- effectiveness.

Third, as Geoffrey Rose pointed out a long time ago, a large number of people at a small risk might give rise to more cases of disease than the small number who are at a high risk.3 This problem is not trivial and is related to the frequent gap between individual and population benefit. Rose called it the prevention paradox: “A preventive measure which brings much benefit to the population offers little to each participating individual.â€3 The opposite is also true: a useful intervention for a single individual might be irrelevant at the population level. This idea is captured well by the concept of number needed to treat (NNT)—ie, how many people need to be treated to avoid a death or other outcomes.

The NNT depends on the efficacy of the intervention and on the frequency of the outcome. For a frequent outcome, the NNT will be lower—ie, fewer individuals need to be treated to obtain a success—thus explaining the quantitative advantage of restricting the intervention to high-risk individuals because the frequency of the outcome is higher among these individuals. However, for relatively rare outcomes (as is the case for many cancers), the NNT might be quite high, and might be even higher if screening is needed to identify susceptible people. Fourth, prevention carries the risk of being medicalised. The lure of mirroring precision therapy with precision prevention should not be allowed to distract from the many opportunities for prevention at the population level.4 It would be ironic if the benefit of a much needed shift to redress the imbalance between cancer prevention and treatment were to be replaced by a dominant search for a medical solution for all impending ills, combined with a resulting imbalance between the emphasis on the population and high-risk groups.

The message is especially important in low-income and middle-income countries, where even the implementation of preventive interventions with a strong evidence base are frustrated by major resource constraints and other barriers.5,6 Indeed, examples already exist, even in low-income countries, in which affordable and applicable screening tests for high-risk individuals might be combined with cheap and effective drugs to reduce the cancer burden in a cost-effective manner.7,8 However, without careful consideration being given to equitable access, more sophisticated medical interventions for treatment or prevention pose the risk of exacerbating social inequalities in health, rather than helping to resolve them.

To take the field forward, the development of a science of precision prevention of cancer is needed to avoid both an underestimate of the challenges and the risks of falling into conceptual traps.

Paper for above instructions

Project Overview

The focus of this project is to establish a robust network design for Herzing University that is career-focused, convenient, and caring. This document outlines the key components of the network, including the topology, budget, and diagram, which will enable the effective delivery of education and facilitate seamless interactions among the university's students and staff.

1. Network Topology (15 points)

For the design of Herzing University's network architecture, I have chosen the Star Topology. The key feature of this topology is that each device on the network is connected to a central hub or switch. This configuration offers several advantages that cater specifically to the needs of the university setting.

Reason for Selection

Star topology is an optimal choice for Herzing University because it provides excellent performance and reliability. Each device has a dedicated connection to the central hub, minimizing the risk of failure impacting the entire network. In a university, where numerous devices like computers, projectors, and printers are connected simultaneously, this setup ensures minimal downtime and consistent network speed (Floyd, 2022).
Moreover, if one connection goes down, it does not affect the others, allowing classes and operations to continue without significant disruption. This is crucial in preserving the university’s mission to provide a caring and supportive environment for students. Furthermore, the scalability of star topology means that as the university grows and more technology is added, the network can be easily expanded by adding additional switches or hubs (Walther, 2023).

Meeting Project Needs

The chosen star topology will facilitate various career-focused academic programs by ensuring that students have reliable and efficient access to online resources, video lectures, and interactive virtual classrooms. Such capabilities are critical in an increasingly digital learning environment. Additionally, security measures can be centralized and managed effectively, enhancing the caring aspect of the university by safeguarding sensitive student data (Hurst, 2023).
Overall, the star topology aligns with the strategic goals of Herzing University, providing a framework that supports convenience, reliability, and user satisfaction.

2. Technology Budget (10 points)

A thorough needs assessment was conducted in Week 2, leading to the following technology requirements for the university’s network:
| Technology Item | Unit Cost (USD) | Quantity | Total Cost (USD) |
|---------------------------------|-----------------|----------|-------------------|
| Network Switches | ,200 | 5 | ,000 |
| Routers | 0 | 3 |

The NNT depends on the efficacy of the intervention and on the frequency of the outcome. For a frequent outcome, the NNT will be lower—ie, fewer individuals need to be treated to obtain a success—thus explaining the quantitative advantage of restricting the intervention to high-risk individuals because the frequency of the outcome is higher among these individuals. However, for relatively rare outcomes (as is the case for many cancers), the NNT might be quite high, and might be even higher if screening is needed to identify susceptible people. Fourth, prevention carries the risk of being medicalised. The lure of mirroring precision therapy with precision prevention should not be allowed to distract from the many opportunities for prevention at the population level.4 It would be ironic if the benefit of a much needed shift to redress the imbalance between cancer prevention and treatment were to be replaced by a dominant search for a medical solution for all impending ills, combined with a resulting imbalance between the emphasis on the population and high-risk groups.

The message is especially important in low-income and middle-income countries, where even the implementation of preventive interventions with a strong evidence base are frustrated by major resource constraints and other barriers.5,6 Indeed, examples already exist, even in low-income countries, in which affordable and applicable screening tests for high-risk individuals might be combined with cheap and effective drugs to reduce the cancer burden in a cost-effective manner.7,8 However, without careful consideration being given to equitable access, more sophisticated medical interventions for treatment or prevention pose the risk of exacerbating social inequalities in health, rather than helping to resolve them.

To take the field forward, the development of a science of precision prevention of cancer is needed to avoid both an underestimate of the challenges and the risks of falling into conceptual traps.

IT 491 Capstone Project Herzing University Filename: Week 3 IT 491 Capstone Project DESIGN DOCUMENT [Requirements] - Template Comment Vol 18 August ATLG (Neovii) formulation might also profit from these more in-depth analyses of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, perhaps resulting in more individualised rabbit ATLG (Neovii) dosing for different HSCT settings. In-depth immune-reconstitution monitoring should also be part of these studies to better understand the effect of rabbit ATLG exposure on functional immune reconstitution.

Furthermore, immune monitoring also helps to improve understanding of the differences in survival between matched and mismatched donor recipients for the two ATLG doses tested in Locatelli and colleagues’ Article. In conclusion, randomised trials studying different ATLG doses, as presented by Locatelli and colleagues, are timely and highly warranted in children. We have learned that in children receiving a myeloablative HSCT for a malignancy, less ATLG is more survival, particularly for children receiving HSCT from a mismatched unrelated donor. Future studies should focus on analyses of pharmacokinetics and pharma codynamics to further fine tune the dosing and in turn improve survival chances in these vulnerable children.

According to one definition, “Precision medicine is a revolutionary approach for disease prevention and treatment that takes into account individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biology.â€1 Prevention is mentioned side-by-side with treatment. However, what is precision prevention? How can it be conceptualised? In this Comment, we raise some key considerations relating to the development of a science of precision prevention of cancer. First, although some definitions clearly indicate that the term precision refers to an application to individuals, on occasion it is used more narrowly, with reference to molecules—ie, a drug that is tailored to a particular underlying molecular change in a tumour, which happens to reside within a given individual patient.

However, although an effect might be established at the molecular level, it is usually limited in scope and could give the false impression of a curative or preventive power that is absent when transferred into practice. Availability of the tools should not be confused with achievement of the goal. Consequently, the ‘precision’ in precision prevention should refer to the individuals who are the target of the intervention. Second, consideration of inter-individual variability in prevention is hardly new—eg, a focus on more susceptible subgroups has been discussed for decades in relation to cancer screening. In addition, a focus on high- risk individuals because of their genetic background Comment 998 Vol 18 August 2017 has been repeatedly proposed—eg, screening for phenylketonuria in newborns, which permits simple dietary preventive actions.

In this context, perhaps the most promising example involves the genotypic selection of individuals based on prostaglandin pathway studies for aspirin chemoprevention in patients with colorectal neoplasia.2 This example illustrates how complex the application of precision to prevention can be, because, at a molecular level, aspirin is unlikely to exert its effects through a single pathway, but rather through several, either independently or in combination.2 Multiple pathways complicate the identification of individuals who might benefit because their status (genetic or phenotypic) would ideally need to be assessed in relation to each molecular target. Such additional assessments would dilute the promises of precision prevention, especially in terms of cost- effectiveness.

Third, as Geoffrey Rose pointed out a long time ago, a large number of people at a small risk might give rise to more cases of disease than the small number who are at a high risk.3 This problem is not trivial and is related to the frequent gap between individual and population benefit. Rose called it the prevention paradox: “A preventive measure which brings much benefit to the population offers little to each participating individual.â€3 The opposite is also true: a useful intervention for a single individual might be irrelevant at the population level. This idea is captured well by the concept of number needed to treat (NNT)—ie, how many people need to be treated to avoid a death or other outcomes.

The NNT depends on the efficacy of the intervention and on the frequency of the outcome. For a frequent outcome, the NNT will be lower—ie, fewer individuals need to be treated to obtain a success—thus explaining the quantitative advantage of restricting the intervention to high-risk individuals because the frequency of the outcome is higher among these individuals. However, for relatively rare outcomes (as is the case for many cancers), the NNT might be quite high, and might be even higher if screening is needed to identify susceptible people. Fourth, prevention carries the risk of being medicalised. The lure of mirroring precision therapy with precision prevention should not be allowed to distract from the many opportunities for prevention at the population level.4 It would be ironic if the benefit of a much needed shift to redress the imbalance between cancer prevention and treatment were to be replaced by a dominant search for a medical solution for all impending ills, combined with a resulting imbalance between the emphasis on the population and high-risk groups.
