World hunger facts
Hunger has three meanings: the uneasy feeling from lack of food, the strong desire for food, and the lack of food in a country. Over 1 billion people do not get enough to eat, more than the populations of the US, Canada, and European Union combined. The number of undernourished people increased by 75 million from 2007 to 2008 due to higher food prices. Undernutrition contributes to 53% of deaths of children under 5 in developing countries, meaning one child dies every six minutes from malnutrition. Poor nutrition causes nearly 1 in 3 people to die prematurely or have disabilities. 10.9 million children under 5 die in developing countries each year, and malnutrition is a factor in 60% of those deaths.
Combating poverty
This document discusses poverty, including its definition, facts about poverty globally, and its effects. Almost half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day, and the poorest 40% of people account for only 5% of global income. Poverty leads to widespread diseases and hunger, illiteracy, homelessness, and violence. Solutions proposed to reduce poverty include creating jobs to generate income, as well as new inventions to provide access to necessities like water and electricity.
Poverty & world hunger final pp
World hunger and poverty are closely linked, as poverty often causes hunger due to an inability to afford food. Most of the world's hungry live in developing nations in places like Africa and Asia. Rural areas in particular struggle with poverty and hunger, as residents rely on agriculture and have little income. When people live in poverty, it can negatively impact health, education, and whole societies. Addressing issues of poverty and hunger requires efforts on both individual and policy levels.
INDepth - 30 hour famine
Two events in Singapore last month had teens experience poverty firsthand. At SJI International's Action for Poverty Week, 90 students lived on $2/day for meals for 5 days to gain understanding of extreme poverty. Meanwhile, about 1,000 teens from over 60 schools participated in World Vision's 30-Hour Famine Camp, abstaining from food. The camps aimed to raise awareness and funds for poverty alleviation projects in countries like Vietnam and India. Students learned about the challenges of poverty from peers in Cambodia and Mongolia and gained a new perspective on the unequal global distribution of resources and food.
Relay for life
Nearly 3,500 people are diagnosed with cancer daily in the US, with 547,000 Americans dying from cancer each year. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children, with brain tumors being the most common type of pediatric cancer. While the cause is often unknown, early detection and treatment can significantly improve survival rates, but late diagnoses typically prove fatal. Research into new treatments is ongoing but costly.
Bullying in ecuador
Seven out of ten kids in Ecuador have experienced bullying, and three out of five have experienced violence in their first twelve years according to a newspaper. International organizations like UNICEF have joined causes to help bullied kids. Bullying in Ecuador is caused not only by appearance but also social status and racism, with social status playing an important role. The psychological harm from bullying can lead to serious diseases over time like anorexia, bulimia, schizophrenia, diabetes and heart attacks.

Race for the cure
The VVHS Interact Club held various fundraising events in October 2010 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In the US, about 62,520 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, a 41% increase from 2001, and approximately 40,000 women die from breast cancer annually. The club raised awareness of how breast cancer affects everyone and raised $227 on the first day of events for the Susan G. Komen Foundation's Race for the Cure to find a cure and treat uninsured patients. They questioned how much more their second event would raise.

UNICEF is launching an Annual Fund to provide more immunizations and lifesaving programs for children around the world. They aim to save every child from preventable diseases. Donations made before midnight on March 22 will be matched dollar for dollar by an anonymous donor, doubling the impact. Immunizations have a major effect on reducing childhood mortality and diseases like polio, measles and diphtheria have seen large declines due to vaccination programs. UNICEF provides vaccines to 40% of the world's children and helps save two million lives each year.
Cancer
Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at age 48 in 2003, with symptoms starting at age 24. He died from the disease at age 56 in 2011. Vitamin D from moderate sun exposure without sunscreen may help lower the risk of certain cancers like pancreatic, as it is nearly 50% less likely in those with higher vitamin D levels from sun exposure. While surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy have been standard cancer treatments for decades, they have shown little improvement in overall survival rates for all cancers in the last 55 years. Alternative non-toxic treatments exist but are suppressed.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. More Related Content

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
