This presentation focuses on the unique healthcare issues that African Americans face. The presentation further explains steps that American Americans can take towards healthier lives.
Black American women have higher rates of many risk factors for heart disease, including obesity, physical inactivity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and hypertension than white women
The rate of alcohol-related deaths has accelerated in recent years, according to a new analysis of U.S. mortality data between 2000-2016. Here's more:
•Overall trends: There were more than 425,000 alcohol-induced deaths during the study period. The annual percentage change in such deaths increased among both men and women, but rose significantly starting in 2012.
•Demographics: Starting in 2012, men experienced a 4.2% annual increase in alcohol-related deaths. From 2013-2016, women experienced an annual percentage increase of around 7%. American Indian and Alaska Native women experienced the highest increases over the 17-year study period.
•Causes: Alcoholic liver disease accounted for the majority of deaths among men and women, followed by mental or physical disorders due to alcohol and accidental poisoning.

What is our collective responsibility in addressing global health challenges? Over
the last 4 years, World Health Day has successfully highlighted some of the most
pressing global health issues that impact us every day. How we will continue to
respond to climate changes that threaten vulnerable populations such as the very
young, elderly, and the poor? How will we increase international health security
and defend ourselves against public health emergencies such as the bird flu
and humanitarian diseases that can devastate people, societies and economies
worldwide? How can we build our healthcare workforce in response to a continued
chronic shortage? Around the world, it is our collective responsibility to answer
these questions and increase our investment of time, resources, and education to
protect our greatest assets…our health, our children, and our global environment.
Join us as we work together to increase global health awareness and contribute to
a more promising future.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will explore World Health Day global health
issues highlighted over the last 4 years and examine strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,
and threats in global health.

Descriptive Epidemiology: Person, Place, Time
Learning Objectives
State primary objectives of descriptive epidemiology
Provide examples of descriptive studies
List characteristics of person, place, and time
Characterize the differences between descriptive and analytic epidemiology
Descriptive vs. Analytic Epidemiology
Descriptive studies--used to identify a health problem that may exist. Characterize the amount and distribution of disease
Analytic studies--follow descriptive studies, and are used to identify the cause of the health problem
2
Objectives of Descriptive Epidemiology
To evaluate and compare trends in health and disease
To provide a basis for planning, provision, and evaluation of health services
To identify problems for analytic studies (creation of hypotheses)
3
Descriptive Studies and Epidemiologic Hypotheses
Hypotheses--theories tested by gathering facts that lead to their acceptance or rejection
Three types:
Positive declaration (research hypothesis)
Negative declaration (null hypothesis)
Implicit question (e.g., to study association between infant mortality and region)
4
Mill’s Canons of Inductive Reasoning
The method of difference--all the factors in two or more places are the same except for a single factor.
The method of agreement--a single factor is common to a variety of settings. Example: air pollution.
5
Mill’s Canons (cont’d)
The method of concomitant variation--the frequency of disease varies according to the potency of a factor.
The method of residues--involves subtracting potential causal factors to determine which factor(s) has the greatest impact.
6
Method of Analogy
(MacMahon and Pugh)
The mode of transmission and symptoms of a disease of unknown etiology bear a pattern similar to that of a known disease.
This information suggests similar etiologies for both diseases.
Three Approaches to Descriptive Epidemiology
Case reports--simplest category of descriptive epidemiology
Case series
Cross-sectional studies
Case Reports and Case Series
Case reports--astute clinical observations of unusual cases of disease
Example: a single occurrence of methylene chloride poisoning
Case series--a summary of the characteristics of a consecutive listing of patients from one or more major clinical
Example: five cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome
7
Cross-sectional Studies
Surveys of the population to estimate the prevalence of a disease or exposure
Example: National Health Interview Survey
Characteristics of Persons Covered in Chapter 4
Age
Sex
Marital Status
Race and ethnicity
Nativity and migration
Religion
Socioeconomic status
Age
One of the most important factors to consider when describing the occurrence of any disease or illness
8
Trends by Age Subgroup
Childhood to early adolescence
Leading cause of death, ages 1-14 years—unintentional injuries
Infants—mortality from developmental problems, e.g., congenital birth defects

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

67. Salud para su Corazón (For the Health of Your Heart) is an exciting new and comprehensive community-based heart-health promotion initiative from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. It targets Latinos living in the United States. The project raises awareness of the risk factors and promotes lifestyle changes to reduce the chances of developing heart disease. Why was Salud para su Corazón established? The Latino population is a very young and rapidly growing segment of our society. However, despite this younger age, the leading cause of death among Latinos is heart disease. Latinos are also generally unaware of important lifestyle changes that could help prevent heart disease. This knowledge gap transcends socioeconomic status. The initiative began in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area . Community leaders, through the Community Alliance Working for Heart Health , carried out the activities using culturally sensitive strategies and educational materials. Salud para su Corazón offers many educational materials in English and Spanish for the general public and community health planners
