Slides for the launch of Climate Change and Global Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, October 2014.
here is increasing understanding, globally, that climate change will have profound and mostly harmful effects on human health. This authoritative book brings together international experts to describe both direct (such as heat waves) and indirect (such as vector-borne disease incidence) impacts of climate change, set in a broad, international, economic, political and environmental context. This unique book also expands on these issues to address a third category of potential longer-term impacts on global health: famine, population dislocation, and conflict. This lively yet scholarly resource explores these issues fully, linking them to health in urban and rural settings in developed and developing countries. The book finishes with a practical discussion of action that health professionals can yet take.

Global warming, also referred to as climate change, is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming.
Climate change is currently threatening the livelihoods of millions of people by altering the natural and physical
assets they rely on. The challenge for adaptation technologies is to deal with the potential for future
changes whilst being resilient to climate variability. Uncertainty about how climate change will manifest in a precise location requires cautions when selecting a
technological solution to avoid locking a community to an unsuitable technology.
Israel is recognized as being at the forefront of high-tech innovation, backed by a highly educated and creative
workforce and a sound infrastructure. The Israeli industry is always breaching for newer and innovative technologies.
Today Israel has about 350 cleantech companies and they are developing and growing constantly. In the following publication a review of the different adaptation technologies offered by Israeli industry will be outlined
by sectors and numerous subsectors.

The ecosystem is breaking down, chris helwegChris Helweg
The ecosystem is the quintessential essence of life on our planet, and this crucial life system is showing signs of breaking down. It is likely a more pressing problem than climate change. Time will tell but time is short.
The ecosystem consists of all living organisms that interact with nonliving components like air, water, and soil contained within the biosphere, which extends from the bottom of the oceans to the top of the mountains. Although unannounced by authorities or professional orgs, it is already becoming evident that the ecosystem is breaking down. Alas, it’s our only ecosystem.

Climate change increases risk of death caused by new microbesMatt Kafker
A graduate of Middlesex School, Matthew Kafker received various awards during his high school years for his outstanding academic performance. In addition to English, Matt Kafker speaks Spanish and French. In 2016, he was named the Outstanding Senior in French by the American Association of Teachers of French. Matt Kafker is now a university student performing research in microbial ecology.
Microbial ecology is the branch of science that studies the relationships between microbes in the environment and their interaction with each other. Recently, professors from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine said that the continuing climate change may unlock new microbes that are dangerous to humans.
Microbes can adapt to high temperatures and defeat the human body’s endothermy defenses, which leads to infectious diseases. Endothermy allows warm-blooded mammals, including humans, to maintain temperature to protect the body from infectious diseases and preventing the activity of dangerous microbes.
Previous examinations of global climate change have cited the tropical and subtropical regions to be at a greater risk of high-temperature-related illnesses and deaths. The United States and Europe can also expect increases in heat-related illnesses and deaths.
17 de marzo 2014 – (Washington, D.C.) La Asociación Americana para el Avance de la Ciencia (AAAS, por sus siglas en inglés) anuncia el lanzamiento de una nueva iniciativa para expandir el diálogo sobre los riesgos del cambio climático. El elemento central de la iniciativa es el informe de la AAAS “Lo que sabemos (–What we know)”, una evaluación actual de la ciencia del clima y los impactos que hacen hincapié en la necesidad de comprender e identificar posibles escenarios de alto riesgo.
“Somos la mayor sociedad científica en el mundo, y por lo tanto creemos que tenemos la obligación de informar al público y a los responsables de tomar decisiones sobre lo que la ciencia está mostrando sobre cualquier tema en la vida moderna, y el clima está particularmente presionando”, comentó el Dr. Alan Leshner, director ejecutivo de la AAAS. “Al ser la voz de la comunidad científica, tenemos que compartir lo que sabemos y llevar a los responsables de la toma de decisiones a la mesa para discutir cómo hacer frente a este problema.”
El Dr. Mario Molina laureado del Premio Nobel, distinguido profesor del Departamento de Química y Bioquímica de la Universidad de California, San Diego y la Institución Scripps de Oceanografía y los co-dirigentes, la Dra. Diana Wall, Profesora Distinguida de Biología de la Universidad Estatal de Colorado, Escuela de Sustentabilidad Ambiental Mundial y el Dr. James McCarthy, Profesor Alexander Agassiz de Oceanografía Biológica en la Universidad de Harvard, presidieron el panel de la ciencia climática que elaboró el informe. Ellos, junto con los 10 panelistas que abarcan especialidades de ciencias del clima, participarán en la iniciativa de diversas maneras, desde ofrecer eventos y testimonios en un sitio web interactivo que estará disponible próximamente, hasta compartir conocimientos con otros profesionales. La iniciativa alienta a los estadounidenses a pensar en el cambio climático como un tema de gestión de riesgos; el panel tiene como objetivo aclarar y contextualizar la ciencia para que el público y los tomadores de decisiones puedan ser adecuadamente informados sobre los riesgos y las posibles maneras de manejarlos.
“Este nuevo esfuerzo pretende afirmar de manera muy clara la evidencia excepcionalmente fuerte que el clima de la Tierra está cambiando, y que el futuro cambio climático puede afectar seriamente los sistemas naturales y sociales “, comentó el Dr. McCarthy. “Incluso entre los miembros del público en general que ya saben acerca de las evidencias del cambio climático y de qué lo está causando, algunos no saben el grado en que muchos científicos del clima están preocupados por los riesgos de cambios climáticos posiblemente rápidos y bruscos – eso es algo a lo que estamos dedicados a discutir con los diversos públicos, desde los líderes empresariales y expertos financieros hasta los tomadores de decisiones en todos los ámbitos de la vida.”

The planet in our hands: responding to climate change (Glasgow)bis_foresight
Sir Mark Walport gave a series of public lectures on climate change at Science and Discovery Centres across the UK. In these talks he explored what the science tells us, and what we, as a developed nation, should do in response.
These slides come from the talk given in Glasgow on 14 March 2014, but differ only slightly from the slides used in earlier talks.

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.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Past attribution studies of climate change have assumed a null hypothesis of no role of human activities. The challenge, then, is to prove that there is an anthropogenic component. I argue that because global warming is unequivocal and very likely caused by human activities, the reverse should now be the case. The task, then, could be to prove there is no anthropogenic component to a particular observed change in climate, although a more useful task is to determine what it is. In Bayesian statistics, this change might be thought of as adding a prior. The benefit of doubt and uncertainties about observations and models are then switched. Moreover, the science community is much too conservative on this issue and too many authors make what are called Type II errors whereby they erroneously accept the null hypothesis. Global warming is contributing to a changing incidence of extreme weather because the environment in which all storms form has changed from human activities.

task, then, could be to prove there is no anthropogenic component to a particular observed change in climate, although a more useful task is to determine what it is. In Bayesian statistics, this change might be thought of as adding a prior. The benefit of doubt and uncertainties about observations and models are then switched.

Past attribution studies of climate change have assumed a null hypothesis of no role of human activities. The challenge, then, is to prove that there is an anthropogenic component. I argue that because global warming is unequivocal and very likely caused by human activities, the reverse should now be the case.

global subsidies for fossil fuel exceed that for renewables by a ratio of about 6 to 1. In 2011 these subsidies exceeded 500 billion dollars – about ten times the clean-up costs for Hurricane Sandy, which struck the U.S. prior to its 2012 Federal election.

Fig. 26.2. This conceptual diagram compares the likely burden of disease from the primary, secondary and tertiary effects of climate change with the time at which the effects are likely to be widely accepted as causally related by the general and even the scientific community. Two major European heatwaves since 2000 (France and Russia) killed over 100,000 people. Both extreme events are likely to have been contributed to by climate change. Secondary effects, such as changes to vector-borne diseases, probably have a lower burden of disease. There has been greater scientific resistance to their reality, but this is fading. Tertiary effects such as the contribution of anthropogenic climate change to the conflicts in Sudan and Syria are still regarded as speculative by most people, including most scientists. These events have
the potential to cause a burden of disease at least of an order of magnitude higher than the others. Waiting for complete consensus is to wait too long.
