NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
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.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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

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!

5. Four Clinical Questions
1. Does my patient have hypertension?
2. Why does my patient have hypertension?
3. Is there any evidence of target organ
damage?
4. Are there any other modifiable risk factors
for CVD?
6. INTRODUCTION
childhood hypertension (HTN) since 2017 :
clinical HTN in children is ≈3.5%.
10%–11% have elevated BP.
Increase due to obesity and overweight
(25%).
Up to 30% of newly diagnosed significant
target organ damage, particularly cardiac.
7.
8. Definition of Hypertension in Neonates
and Infants (0–1 year)
Normal blood pressure values depend on the infant’s
gestational age, postnatal age, and birth weight.
Hypertension is commonly defined as a BP >2
standard deviations above normal values for age
and weight.
9. Definition of Hypertension
(1–18 years)
Normal BP:
BP (<90th ) percentile for age, sex, and height.
or (<120/ 80) mm Hg for (≥13 yr) .
Elevated BP:
BP(90th - 95th)percentile or(120/80)mmHg. (which lower)
or BP (120/80- 129/<80) mm Hg for (≥13 yr).
Hypertension: (at 3 different visits)
BP (>95th ) percentile .
or ( ≥130/80) mm Hg for (≥13 yr ).
Obtain multiple measurements over time before
diagnosing HTN.
10. Definition of Hypertension
(1–18 years)
Hypertensive-level BP is staged :
Stage 1 hypertension:
BP (90th - 95th) percentile(+12)mmHg or
(130-139/80-89) mmHg ( which lower).
or (130-139/80-89) mm Hg (≥13 yr) .
Stage 2 hypertension:
BP (≥95th) percentile (+12 mmHg) or (≥140/90mmHg)
(which lower).
or (≥ 140/90 )mm Hg (≥13 yr).
11. Definition of Hypertension
(1–18 years)
White Coat Hypertension (WCH):
BP (> 95th) percentile in the physician’s office,
normotensive in outside environment.
Masked Hypertension (MH) :
Normal BP in the physician’s office, but high
at home.
12. Most children are asymptomatic and diagnosed as a
result of routine BP measurment .
begin BP measurement at age 3.
children should have BP measured if they have:
1. obesity.
2. taking medications known to increase BP.
3. renal disease.
4. history of aortic arch obstruction or coarctation.
5. diabetes.
Blood Pressure Measurement Frequency
13. Children younger than 3 years should
have BP measured
(˂32 week ) or VLBW, small for gestation age.
Congenital heart disease.
Renal disease or urologic malformation .
Family history of congenital renal disease .
Solid-organ transplant.
Malignancy or bone marrow transplant.
Treatment with drugs known to raise BP.
Other illnesses (e.g., neurofibromatosis, TSC, SCD…etc )
Evidence of increased ICP.
16. Ambulatory Blood Pressure
Monitoring
children with elevated BP for
≥1 year .
Stage 1 HTN ( 3 visits).
evaluating effectiveness of
antihypertensive therapy.
Frequency of (WCH), (MH).
high-risk : CKD,T1DM, aortic
coarctation ,severe obesity.
17. Etiology of Hypertension
Primary Hypertension:(essential)
Characteristics include:
≥6 years of age.
positive family history of HTN.
obesity/overweight. (~25%)
Systolic HTN predictive of primary HTN.
18. Secondary Hypertension
Renal/Renovascular :( children <6 years of age )
Renal parenchymal (34–76%), Renovascular (12%).
Aortic Coarctation:( 17-77%) .
Endocrine : Hyperthyroidism , CAH , Cushing syndrome…

at time of diagnosis of HTN.
Repeat echocardiography to
monitor patients with LVH or
abnormal left ventricular
function.
23. Normal Blood Pressure
BP is normal, no additional action is needed.
Give standard lifestyle recommendations
(nutrition, sleep, physical activity).
Recheck BP at next routine visit.
24. If patient is symptomatic or BP is >30 mm Hg

disease in adulthood
Treatment goal :
˂ 90th percentile in younger children .
˂ 130/80 ( ≥13 yr).
29. Lifestyle Modifications
At the time of diagnosis clinicians should
provide advice on the DASH (Dietary
Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet) : High in
fruits , vegetables , low- fat milk products ,
whole grains , fish, poultry , nuts , and lean red
meat.
30. Lifestyle Modifications
Sodium Restriction :

31. Medical Therapy
Prescribe antihypertensive medications if:
1. Patient has failed at least 6 months of lifestyle
change.
2. Symptomatic HTN.
3. Stage 2 HTN without clearly modifiable risk factor
(e.g. obesity).
4. Any stage of HTN associated with CKD or DM.
32. 1st line agents may include :
(ACEI) or (ARB) , Long-acting calcium channel
blocker, Thiazide diuretic .
B – blockers not recommended as initial
treatment .
In CKD , proteinuria or diabetes : ACE inhibitor
or ARB.
Single agent preferred.
33. Medical Therapy
treated with lifestyle change only should be
seen every 3–6 months .
treated with antihypertensive medications
should be seen every 4–6 weeks for dose until
goal BP is reached, then every 3–4 months.
Evaluate control with ABOM.
Second agent can be added and titrated as
needed.
