Godsil Obesity and BE Poster logtransformed 2Olivia Godsil
This study examines the relationship between obesity and urban status in U.S. counties. The hypothesis is that obesity prevalence will be lower in counties with higher population densities and built environments that encourage walking, biking, and public transit over driving. Regression analysis found that counties with shorter commute times, more residents who walk/bike to work, and better public transit infrastructure have lower obesity rates. The results suggest that urban planning which promotes active transportation can help address obesity by influencing daily routines and opportunities for physical activity.

Civil society organizations have played an important role in scaling up nutrition efforts in many countries. Through continued support, over 2500 civil society organizations across 39 countries have been engaged in nutrition efforts in 2016, up from under 500 in 2013. National civil society alliances have united community groups, coordinated advocacy and action on nutrition, enriched nutrition policies, ensured accountability, and supported multi-sectoral government efforts for nutrition. Modest funding for civil society alliances has achieved real impact, such as mobilizing additional national resources and cultivating high-profile nutrition champions. Civil society brings unique contributions as the "eyes and ears" implementing programs and sharing local expertise.

Poor housing negatively impacts the health of millions in the UK and costs the NHS billions each year. The Public Health England (PHE) aims to improve housing and health by developing local capabilities, sharing evidence, and enabling collaboration between professionals. PHE supports analyses of housing and health data, home adaptations, and standards for evaluating housing interventions. Moving forward, PHE will focus on vulnerable groups like children, working age adults, and older people, as well as high pressure points across the life course like hospitals. The goal is to raise awareness and harness partners to manage the health impacts of housing policies and inequalities.
Housing associations in England manage over 2.5 million homes and between 2011-2015 built over 170,000 new affordable homes.

Presentation from NACCHO 2013 Annual Conference featuring Erica Salem, MPH, Deputy Commissioner, Chicago Department of Public Health, Kathleen Dickhut, BA, MSLA, Deputy Commissioner, City of Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development, Luann Hamilton, BA, MS, Deputy Commissioner, Chicago Department of Transportation, and Stephanie Whyte, MBA, FAAP, Chief Health Office, Chicago Public Schools.
This session highlights how non-public health City of Chicago agencies work with the Chicago Public Health Department to develop and implement a broad array of policy, systems, environmental, and programmatic solutions to public health challenges. While the work is occurring under a unified framework, each agency is able to contribute while fulfilling its unique mission.
PPI (patient and public involvement) is imperative for successful commissioning for several reasons: it saves money and ensures pathways are used; it increases the moral and democratic legitimacy of the NHS; and it leads to safer and better designed services. There are several governance options for consortiums including democratic elections to boards and having lay people and community groups represented. Community development and asset-based approaches can improve PPI, health outcomes, and tackle inequalities by strengthening communities and individuals. The 7 step model of community organizing has led to rapid changes in commissioning and health improvements within 5 years.
PPI (patient and public involvement) is imperative for successful commissioning for several reasons: it saves money and ensures pathways are used; it increases the moral and democratic legitimacy of the NHS; and it leads to safer and better designed services. Effective PPI requires democratic and participatory involvement from both individuals and community groups to influence priorities, service development, and quality standards. This can be achieved through structures like Healthwatch, consortium governance models, and community development approaches that view community members as assets and work to improve health through co-production.
Health Impact Assessment and Health in All PoliciesSandra Whitehead
The document summarizes information about Health in All Policies (HiAP) and its implementation in different jurisdictions. It provides definitions of HiAP as an approach to integrate health considerations in decision making across sectors to improve population health. It discusses the history and spread of HiAP globally and in the US at federal, state and local levels. Specific examples are given of HiAP strategies, tactics and implementation in Polk County, Florida, Santa Cruz County, California and other areas. The roles of different actors in adopting and operationalizing HiAP are also outlined.
This document provides an overview of population health, public health core functions and essential services, levels of prevention, and population-based interventions. It discusses that population health aims to improve health for entire populations. The three levels of prevention are primary, secondary, and tertiary. Population-based interventions target underlying risks and environmental factors affecting entire populations or at-risk groups. These interventions can occur at the systems, community, or individual level. The core functions of public health are assessment, policy development, assurance, and system management. The 10 essential public health services support these core functions.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.
The Importance of Black Women Understanding the Chemicals in Their Personal C...bkling
Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
