Healthy People in Healthy Communities What Is Healthy People? Healthy People is a set of goals and objectives with 10-year targets designed to guide national health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve the health of all people in the United States. Released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services each decade, Healthy People reflects the idea that setting objectives and providing science-based benchmarks to track and monitor progress can motivate and focus action. Healthy People 2020 represents the fourth generation of this initiative, building on a foundation of three decades of work. Healthy People is used as a tool for strategic management by the federal government, states, communities, and many other public- and private-sector partners. Its comprehensive set of objectives and targets is used to measure progress for health issues in specific populations, and serves as (1) a foundation for prevention and wellness activities across various sectors and within the federal government, and (2) a model for measurement at the state and local levels. What’s New in Healthy People 2020? Healthy People 2020 is committed to the vision of a society in which all people live long, healthy lives. This decade, several new features will help make this vision a reality: t Emphasizing ideas of health equity that address social determinants of health and promote health across all stages of life t Replacing the traditional print publication with an interactive Web site as the main vehicle for dissemination t Maintaining a Web site that allows users to tailor information to their needs and explore evidencebased resources for implementation The Mission, Vision, and Goals of Healthy People 2020 Vision—A society in which all people live long, healthy lives. Mission—Healthy People 2020 strives to: t Identify nationwide health improvement priorities t Increase public awareness and understanding of the determinants of health, disease, and disability, and the opportunities for progress t Provide measurable objectives and goals that are applicable at the national, state, and local levels t Engage multiple sectors to take actions to strengthen policies and improve pr.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Global Health Programs and
Policies
2. By the end of this lecture, students should be able to:
1. Define “Policy”, “Health Policy”, “Global Health”, “Global Health
Governance”
2. Identify the goals of health policy
3. Describe the policy process
4. Differentiate between health policies (Macro- vs. Micro-policy)
5. Discuss Global Health major players and challenges
6. Discuss Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Objectives
4. Definition: Policy
• Policy is a law, regulation, procedure, administrative action, incentive,
or voluntary practice of governments and other institutions.
• Policy decisions are frequently reflected in resource allocations. Health
can be influenced by policies in many different sectors.
• For example, transportation policies can encourage physical activity
(pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly community design); policies in schools
can improve nutritional content of school meals.
5. Definition: Health Policy
• Health policy refers to decisions, plans, and actions that
are undertaken to achieve specific health care goals
within a society.
6. Definition: Global Health
• An area of study, research and practice that places a
priority on improving health and achieving equity in
health for all people worldwide
• Emphasizes trans-national health issues, determinants
and solutions
• Inter- and multi-disciplinary collaboration within and
beyond health sciences
• A synthesis of population-based prevention and
individual-level clinical care
7. Definition: Global Health Governance (GHG)
• The formal and informal institutions, norms and
processes which govern or directly influence
global health policy and outcomes
9. Why health policies are needed
A health policy can achieve several things:
• It defines a vision for the future which in turn helps to
establish targets and points of reference for the short and
medium term.
• It outlines priorities and the expected roles of different
groups; and
• It builds consensus and informs people.
11. The key steps include:
Step 1: Identify the Problem or Issue
Step 2: Policy Analysis
2.1 Identify and Describe Policy
Options
2.2 Assess Policy Options
2.3 Prioritize Policy Options
Step 3: Develop a Strategy for Furthering
Adoption of the Policy Solution
Step 4: Policy Enactment
Step 5: Policy Implementation
Overarching activities: Stakeholder
engagement & education AND Evaluation
12. Factors that affect health policy decision making
• Economic factors
• Cultural/religious factors
• Behavioral factors
• Physical environment
• Availability of medical services
• Technology advances
• Epidemiological structure (disease distribution and disease prevention
priorities)
• Public health evidence
• Political situation
14. Macro Health Policy
• Broad and expansive health policies that are developed at the
national level
• Affect a large portion of the population (region or country)
• Define the country’s vision priorities, budgetary decisions,
course of action to sustain health
• Developed based on population-health needs
• For example, MOH policies; Vision 2030 health transformation
initiatives
15. Micro Health Policy
• More specific to level of
organization or individuals,
examples:
• Hospital administrative policy
and procedures
• Departmental/Internal policy
and procedures
• Clinical practice guidelines
• Based on the operational
needs of the facility; differ by
organization (from hospital to
another)
• Policies that apply to:
• Employees
• Operations
• Ethics
• Safety
• Research
16. Inter-relationship between micro- and macro- policies
• Micro-policies at organizations are developed in line with macro-
policies put in place by the MOH
• The development and implementation of such policies require a
multi-disciplinary approach
• For example:
• Many ministries work together on development of some
macro-policies; MOH + MOMRA + MOE etc (HiAP)
• Different departments of the hospital collaborate for putting
in place micro-policies
18. Global Health Major Players
• International organizations (e.g. WHO, UNICEF, World Bank)
• Multilateral entities (e.g. G8, G20)
• Multilateral initiatives (e.g. GAVI)
• Bilateral initiatives (e.g. PEPFAR)
• Philanthropies (e.g. Gates Foundation)
• Global public-private partnerships
• Private sector-industry
• Civil society
19. • The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized non-political
health agency of the United Nations with headquarters in Geneva.
• WHO is unique among the specialized UN agencies as it:
• has its own constitution: came into force on April 7th, 1948
which is celebrated every year as “World Health Day” with a
different theme each year to focus attention on a specific public
health issue.
• own governing bodies
• own membership
• own budget
• Two major policy developments influenced WHO:
1. The Alma-Ata Declaration of 1978 that identified primary
health care as the key to the attainment of the goal of Health
for All.
2. Global strategy for Health for all by 2000, followed by MDGs,
and recently SDGs 2030.
20. • WHO Scope of Work:
• Prevention and control of disease
• Development of comprehensive
health services
• Family Health
• Environmental Health
• Health Statistics
• Health Research
• Health Literature and Information
• Coordination with other agencies

21. Global Health Challenges
• Impact of financial crisis & globalization
• Multiple, diverse, emerging health threats
• Failures in delivery & access to both existing and needed
interventions
• Disparities and inequities continue
• Fragile health systems unable to achieve SDGs targets
24. What is sustainable development?
Sustainable development has been defined as development
that meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
25. What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
• The 193 Member States of the United Nations reached consensus on the
outcome document of a new sustainable development agenda entitled,
"Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development”.
• This agenda contains 17 goals and 169 targets
• This agenda builds on the achievements of the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), which were adopted in 2000 and guided development
action for the last 15 years. The MDGs have proven that global goals can
lift millions out of poverty.
• UN summit for the adoption of SDGs with its 17 goals was held from 25 to
27 September 2015, in New York and convened as a high–level meeting of
the General Assembly.
26. How are the SDGs different from the MDGs?
• The 17 Sustainable Development Goals with 169
targets are broader in scope and will go further than the MDGs by
addressing the root causes of poverty and the universal need for
development that works for all people. These goals will cover the three
dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social
Inclusion and environmental protection.
• The SDGs are universal and apply to all countries, whereas the MDGs
were intended for action in developing countries only.
• A core feature of the SDGs has been the means of implementation - the
mobilization of financial resources, as well as capacity building and the
transfer of environmentally sound technologies.
27. How will progress of the SDGs be
measured?
• The 17 goals and 169 targets will
be monitored and reviewed using
a set of global indicators. These
will be complemented by
indicators at the regional and
national levels, which will be
developed by Member States.
When are the SDGs expected to
start and end?
The SDGs started on 1 January 2016
and to be achieved by 31 December
2030.

3.2 By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce
neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live
births.
3.3 By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-
