This document summarizes a presentation on social determinants of health and nutrition. It introduces the session moderator, Professor Michael Marmot, who led the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health. The presentation covers the need for a fair society with quality life for all, current inequalities in health status both between and within countries, and a definition of a fair society. It also outlines the 6 policy objectives from the Marmot Review to reduce health inequities, including giving children a good start in life and creating healthy, sustainable communities.
This document summarizes a presentation by Professor Sir Michael Marmot on social determinants of health and nutrition. The presentation discusses:
1) How health is influenced by social factors and the need for a society to promote the well-being of its people.
2) Evidence that health inequalities exist both between and within countries.
3) Marmot's definition of a "fair society" as one where health is evenly distributed and not determined by social position or economic status.
4) Marmot's six policy objectives to reduce health inequalities, including giving children a good start, enabling individuals to maximize their capabilities, ensuring fair employment and healthy living standards.
1. The document defines social capital as the networks and relationships between people that facilitate cooperation. It discusses how social capital benefits both individuals through their social connections, and society as a whole through increased social cohesion.
2. It reviews Robert Putnam's work showing how declining social connections in the US have negatively impacted civic engagement. Social capital is characterized by community networks, civic participation, trust, and reciprocity.
3. The document discusses how high social capital at both the individual and societal level is linked to better health through social support, influence, participation, and access to resources. Inequalities in social capital and status can increase stress and negatively impact health.
- Physical inactivity is a major public health issue that increases risks of diseases and mortality, while physical activity provides significant health benefits.
- Men tend to be less physically active than women and are more difficult to engage in traditional community physical activity programs. Effective programs for men focus on activities like sports, cycling, and walking that can be social and skill-based.
- As men age, approaches need to recognize how masculinities and friendships are constructed, often around shared activities, and engage older men in ways that address physical and mental health risks while preserving independence and purpose.
The document summarizes the Law Commission's proposals for reforming adult social care in England and Wales. It outlines the stages of the project, including scoping reviews and public consultations. Key recommendations include: 1) Single statutes for social care in England and Wales, 2) A single process for assessment based on need rather than request, and 3) Statutory Adult Safeguarding Boards to investigate safeguarding cases. The reforms aim to clarify responsibilities, streamline legislation, and put well-being and rights at the center of the system.

Dying young as old as possible : challenges for public health John Middleton
Professor John Middleton gave a keynote speech on the public health challenges for healthcare systems in aging societies. He argued for a public health approach that focuses on healthy aging, including creating healthy environments, strong communities, social prescribing, and reorienting health and social care services around prevention. Some challenges he discussed were addressing lifestyle factors like exercise, shaping attitudes through social prescribing, and adapting public health teaching for new issues and partnerships. The overall goal is to help people stay active and independent for as long as possible.
The document summarizes a meeting of Chief Medical Officers and Chief Nursing Officers that discussed the WHO's Health 2020 framework. The framework aims to improve health and well-being for all Europeans and reduce health inequities. It focuses on investing in health through the life course, tackling major health challenges, strengthening people-centered health systems, and creating resilient communities. The framework also emphasizes addressing social determinants of health and mobilizing other sectors to support health.
1. The document defines key terms related to health promotion and outlines the five principles of the Ottawa Charter for health promotion.
2. It describes different approaches to health promotion, including medical, behavioral change, educational, empowerment, and societal change approaches. Examples are given for each.
3. The importance of health promotion is discussed in terms of changing disease patterns, rising healthcare costs, the role of populations in improving health, and limitations of medical services. Health promotion aims to empower individuals and communities.
This document discusses population aging and the importance of promoting healthy aging. It notes that the proportion of the global population over age 60 is growing rapidly and will continue to do so in the coming decades. It advocates taking a life-course approach to ensure older people can live healthy, active, and engaged lives by promoting good health at all ages, providing quality healthcare, creating age-friendly environments, changing social attitudes towards aging, and enabling independent living at all ages. The overall message is that healthy aging will benefit both individuals and societies.
The document summarizes a seminar on untapped markets for the aging population and rehabilitation. It discusses opportunities in the fitness industry to work with older adults, highlights research on exercise benefits, and outlines strategies for effectively engaging older consumers. Speakers emphasized the large and growing older adult population, exercise benefits like fall prevention and reduced disease risk, and need to improve trainer skills, facilities, and collaboration with health professionals to better serve this market.
The document discusses the increasing prominence of integrated care in health policy documents over time, with references to integration increasing at a rate of 78% per year. While integration is increasingly emphasized, there is no national data showing whether it is actually improving quality of care experienced by individuals. To make integrated care more than just a "pipe dream", the document argues that interventions to support integration must address issues of context, like funding and work stress, through approaches that bring together data, workforce capability, and management across services.
This document summarizes a debate about the role of the voluntary sector in health and social care. It discusses how the voluntary sector can help move towards a new era of partnership between health and social care. While integrating health and social care seems logical, cultural and structural barriers have prevented it from happening. The voluntary sector is well-positioned to play a big role because charities consider the whole person and all their needs, not just medical issues. The document also examines specific areas where more work is needed, such as how the health service can better partner with charities, how charities can save the health service money through prevention and addressing social determinants of health, and how charities can influence and create systems change within health care

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
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.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
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.
