DENGUE THE BREAKBONE FEVER: PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL AND PHARMACOTHERAPEUTIC UPDATE
DENGUE THE BREAKBONE FEVER: PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL AND PHARMACOTHERAPEUTIC UPDATEDr. Amit Gangwal Jain (MPharm., PhD.)
This document summarizes information about dengue fever, including its pathophysiology, symptoms, treatment, and prevention. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by any of four dengue virus serotypes. It is characterized by high fever, severe joint and muscle pain, and sometimes a rash. While there is no vaccine or antiviral treatment currently available, symptoms are managed with pain relievers, bed rest, and fluid replacement. Prevention relies on measures to control mosquito populations and avoid mosquito bites. The global incidence of dengue has been increasing and it remains a significant public health challenge.Approach to Fever in the Returning Traveler

It was founded in 2009 to build disease prevention knowledge and promote healthy behaviors. Kids Be Aware achieves its mission through various educational programs, research, and community engagement. It aims to teach children about common diseases like tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, obesity, and their prevention.
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome
The document outlines the chain of HIV infection, including that HIV is transmitted through direct contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. It also discusses that while there is no cure for HIV, treatment with antiretroviral drugs can enable those infected to live long, healthy lives by suppressing the virus. Key aspects of treatment include starting post-exposure prophylaxis within 72 hours of potential exposure, monitoring viral levels before starting lifelong antiretroviral therapy, and maintaining low viral loads to prevent transmission. Prevention efforts focus on education and reducing risk behaviors.
Control of communicable diseases
This document summarizes several communicable diseases and control programs in the Philippines. It discusses tuberculosis (TB), focusing on the National TB Program's DOTS strategy achieving global targets. Emerging issues like drug resistance need addressing. The National Leprosy Control Program aims to ensure MDT drug availability and prevent disabilities. Schistosomiasis and its life cycle transmission via snails in contaminated water is outlined. Filariasis caused by worm transmission through mosquitoes can cause swelling and disability. The National Filariasis Elimination Program aims to eliminate it by 2017. Malaria transmitted by mosquitoes and its various causative agents are also summarized.
Review of "A Manifesto: Healing a Violent World," RF Mollica, et al.
V Di Nicola. Review of A Manifesto: Healing a Violent World, RF Mollica, et al. Global Mental Health & Psychiatry Review, Autumn 2020, 1(3): 6-7.
his beautifully crafted volume, published in 2018, announces a manifesto for healing a violent world. It is in fact, not one but three manifestos – “Healing a Violent World,” “Healing the Healer,” and “Healing Power of Justice.” Each one is followed by a poem by Marjorie Agosin, ably translated from the Spanish by Celeste Kostopulos-Cooperman. The heart of the matter is these three manifestos which create a humanistic tapestry, compassionately stated, and deeply informed by the science and art of psychiatric medicine, while the tapestry is embroidered with original artwork by Nisha Sajnani and framed by the richly allusive poetry of Marjorie Agosin with a lovely Afterword.
Mollica touches on the themes that have animated his career: the trauma story and the wounded healer which were the core of his previous volumes, Healing Invisible Wounds (2006) and Textbook of Global Mental Health: Trauma and Recovery (2012). Each manifesto is rich and nuanced and carries a core message. “Manifesto I” recognizes the trauma around us and the need to heal a violent world. Key notions include the trauma story, the wounded healer, and the need for personal healing or self-care. This Manifesto’s most stirring phrase in my reading is: “Except in beauty, there is no healing. Beauty is the salve and ointment that creates our healing space and healing relationships.” (P.5). “Manifesto II” asserts hope to deal with the enormity of the world’s crises. The key words here are hope and empathy, along with gratitude to the wounded healer. It’s deepest affirmation is this: “Empathy is a biological miracle uniting all living creatures and the planet earth itself.” (P. 14). Manifesto III embraces the healing power of justice. The key here is the foundation of justice in beauty: “Justice is beautiful as it creates harmony and symmetry in the world that resonates with all animals, plants, and people. Injustice is ugly ...” (P. 28). The accompanying essays enrich Mollica’s core message of beauty and caring for others in the healing context of relationships.
This is a volume to read slowly, aloud if possible, inspired as it is by poetry and sacred texts; a volume that instructs as it heals; a volume to cherish. It sums up the masterful life and career of a healer, synthesizing the compassionate mission of psychiatric medicine with a paean to justice and beauty. It should not surprise that Mollica has a Master’s degree in Religious Arts from Yale. With its humanistic message and call for healing, Mollica’s Manifesto joins the corpus of devotional literature resonant with Teresa d’Ávila’s The Interior Castle and Ignatius Loyola's Spiritual Exercises.
Basic introduction communicable
This document discusses communicable diseases. It defines communicable diseases as diseases that can spread from one person to another through various modes of transmission like air, water, food, or contact. Some common communicable diseases mentioned include influenza, polio, typhoid, measles, mumps, chickenpox, tuberculosis, and AIDS. It also discusses immunity and how the body develops immunity to diseases either naturally after suffering from an illness or artificially through vaccination. Preventing the spread of communicable diseases requires measures like maintaining hygiene, immunization, and promptly treating illnesses.
Highway to health
1) The document discusses malaria, diabetes, and Ebola virus. It provides key facts about the diseases, including their causes, symptoms, transmission methods, prevention, and treatment.

Facts About Swine Flu
Swine flu symptoms are similar to regular flu and include fever, fatigue, lack of appetite, and cold symptoms. While most people feel better within 2-3 weeks, some high risk groups can develop severe complications. Antiviral drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can reduce symptom duration if taken within 48 hours, and are prescribed based on symptoms and risk factors. Proper hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes, avoiding sick people, and getting vaccinated can help prevent spread of the virus.
TB Final
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It spreads through the air when people with active TB disease cough or sneeze. About one-third of the world's population is infected with latent TB, which means they carry the bacteria but are not infectious. Between 2011-2014, the number of reported TB cases in South Africa declined from over 2.7 million suspects to 2.4 million suspects, though the number testing positive remained around 180,000-185,000 per year. Common symptoms of active TB disease are coughing, weight loss, fever and night sweats.

Neglected tropical diseases in nepal
1) Nepal is endemic for 8 neglected tropical diseases including lymphatic filariasis (LF), trachoma, soil-transmitted helminths (STH), dengue fever (DF), kala-azar, leprosy, rabies, and cysticercosis. Dengue cases in Nepal have increased significantly in 2019.
2) Nepal has developed national plans and programs to control and eliminate several NTDs, including kala-azar elimination by 2020, LF elimination by 2020, and trachoma elimination through the SAFE strategy. Integrated preventative chemotherapy is conducted for LF and STH.
3) Major challenges for NTD control in Nepal include addressing climate change and den
What is tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease of the lungs that is spread through the air when people with active TB cough, sneeze or spit. It remains a major public health issue, especially in Bangladesh where it kills about 70,000 people annually. Common symptoms include persistent coughing, chest pain, fatigue, and night sweats. While TB usually affects the lungs, it can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. Treatment requires taking multiple antibiotics daily for 6-9 months under medical supervision. Preventive measures include vaccination, good nutrition, covering coughs and sneezes, and avoiding overcrowded living conditions.
Human health and disease
Human health relies on factors like diet, exercise, hygiene and sleep. Disease is any disorder that departs from good health, and can be acute or chronic. Diseases are diagnosed based on their symptoms. There are physical, infectious, and non-infectious diseases. Infectious diseases spread through pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Examples provided include influenza, measles, chickenpox, salmonella, cholera, typhoid and gonorrhea. Non-infectious diseases are not caused by pathogens and include mental illnesses and genetic disorders like Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Early diagnosis and treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has significantly improved outcomes. JIA is the most common rheumatological disease of childhood, affecting approximately 1 in 1000 children, and is characterized by arthritis for over six weeks in children under 16 years of age with no other identifiable cause. While treatment aims to achieve full disease remission, diagnostic delays averaging six months remain common due to sometimes subtle presentations. Current treatment focuses on early, aggressive suppression of inflammation to prevent long-term joint damage and achieve normal physical and psychosocial functioning.
Sepsis neonatal manejo antimicrobiano ideal
This document summarizes key information about neonatal sepsis:
1. Neonatal sepsis is infection in infants less than 28 days old that can cause systemic infection, circulatory shock, and organ failure. Common bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
2. Risk factors include prolonged hospitalization and use of central venous catheters. Immediate treatment with antibiotics is critical.
3. Blood culture remains the diagnostic standard, but neonates often show only subtle signs initially, like feeding intolerance or abnormal vital signs, making early recognition difficult. A high index of suspicion is important.

An update on covid 19 awareness
This document provides an update on COVID-19 from a medical consultant in India. It discusses frequently asked questions about infection risk and treatment. Statistics are noted to be useful but can also mislead. The pandemic is characterized by rapid worldwide spread that will overwhelm healthcare systems and cause economic and social disruption with many variations due to geographic, ethnic, cultural and other factors. Both negative and positive aspects of the pandemic are outlined. The likelihood of infection depends on host, environmental and viral factors. Exposure can be limited through physical distancing, personal protection equipment and hygiene. Treatment involves supportive care, medications and vaccines/new drugs when available. Workplace and home guidelines are provided to manage risk.
HIV/HPV
This document provides information on HIV/AIDS including:
- HIV causes AIDS by destroying CD4+ immune cells. It emerged in the 1930s from a virus in apes.
- HIV is treated through antiretroviral therapy which has transformed AIDS into a chronic disease. However, developing an effective vaccine remains a challenge.
- HIV transmission occurs sexually, through blood, and from mother to child. It disproportionately affects sex workers, men who have sex with men, injecting drug users, and those in developing countries.
HCAD 630 Assignment Paper 3
The document discusses the challenges facing public health in using medical intelligence for disease surveillance and detection. It argues that medical intelligence, which involves monitoring populations from a distance, conflicts with the role of public health in directly engaging with communities to prevent disease through examination, education, and treatment. While medical intelligence can help identify potential outbreaks, its passive surveillance approach cannot replace public health's active intervention to stop the spread of disease. The greatest challenge is combating bioterrorism, as medical intelligence alone is not sufficient without coordination between public health and military intelligence to communicate threats and enable rapid response.
Flu English
This document provides essential information about the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak, including tips for prevention and treatment. It identifies Edgar Hernandez as the first reported case in Mexico and notes that non-pharmacological interventions like hand washing and cough etiquette are most effective to prevent spread. Antiviral drugs can alleviate symptoms if taken within 48 hours, but there are still questions around what makes this epidemic unusual and why it started in Mexico.

Understanding search engine algorithms
1. The document discusses Google algorithm updates from 2003 to present, including major updates like Penguin, Panda, Mobilegeddon and more recent shifts towards semantic search and knowledge engines.
2. It provides details on the goals of each update, such as targeting bad link building practices with Penguin and prioritizing page quality over other signals with Panda.
3. Recent updates emphasize mobile friendliness and showing app content in search results, reflecting Google's move towards a mobile-first approach to search.
PageRank
Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed the PageRank algorithm at Stanford University in 1998. PageRank is the backbone of Google's search engine technology. It ranks web pages based on the number and quality of inbound links, with the assumption that more important pages receive more links. The algorithm calculates a probability distribution over web pages to determine each page's importance. It works iteratively until the PageRank values settle close to 1 across all pages. However, PageRank faces issues like preferring older pages and being vulnerable to manipulation through link spamming techniques.
The Google Pagerank algorithm - How does it work?
This document discusses how Google uses Markov chains and the PageRank algorithm to rank web pages. It begins by explaining Markov chains and how they can model random user behavior on the web. It then describes how Google implemented PageRank as a non-absorbing Markov chain to calculate the probability of a random user reaching any given page. The document outlines issues with applying this to the large-scale web, and proposes techniques like the power method to efficiently approximate PageRank values for the trillion-page internet graph. Finally, it provides an example of how links between related high-authority sites can increase the PageRank of a given page.
Google Search Engine
Google began in 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. It uses PageRank, an algorithm that assigns websites a numerical weight based on the number and quality of links to it, to index websites and determine search results. When a user searches on Google, it examines its index of websites and returns the most relevant results based on the user's search terms and PageRank. Google crawls the web with its bots to constantly update and improve its index of websites to provide the most useful search results to users.
Page rank algorithm
The document introduces the PageRank algorithm. It explains that PageRank ranks pages based on the principle that pages with more inlinks are considered more important. It discusses how PageRank addresses issues like cyclic links and pages with no outlinks. It also provides the formula used to calculate PageRank through an iterative process and describes how Google uses over 200 factors beyond PageRank alone to determine search rankings.

Google hummingbird algorithm ppt
Google introduced the Hummingbird algorithm in 2013 to improve search results. Hummingbird analyzes longer, more complex questions to provide more direct answers compared to previous algorithms like Panda and Penguin. It uses information like user location and interests to personalize results. The algorithm also leverages Google's Knowledge Graph to understand context and relationships to better answer follow-up questions. Hummingbird aims to have a more human-like conversation with users through its semantic search capabilities.

The document also suggests that environmental factors may be contributing to rising rates of some autoimmune diseases.
Understanding the basics of COVID-19 in a rapidly.pptx
Covid-19 is a new strain of coronavirus that emerged in China in late 2019 and has since spread globally. It is predominantly spread through respiratory droplets from coughing and sneezing, and contact. While most cases are mild, some can develop severe pneumonia and respiratory failure. As a new virus, the entire population is at risk with no preexisting immunity. There is no vaccine yet and treatment focuses on supportive care, with the sickest cases requiring intensive care. As of March 2020, over 200,000 cases and 8,000 deaths had been reported globally across multiple countries led by China, Italy, Iran and Spain.
Flu वह सब जो आपको FLU VACCINATION in Pregnancy के बारे में पता होना चाहिए
This document discusses recommendations for influenza vaccination in pregnancy from various health organizations and the impact of influenza on pregnant women and their pregnancies. It notes that while many organizations recommend influenza vaccination during pregnancy, compliance is only around 20%. Pregnant women have a higher risk of severe outcomes from influenza like hospitalization. Influenza can also increase risks for pregnant women such as preterm delivery, fetal distress, stillbirth or premature birth, and cesarean delivery.

Global health
This document provides an overview of tropical medicine and global health issues. It discusses diseases that disproportionately impact those living in tropical regions, including neglected tropical diseases. It also covers non-communicable diseases, trauma, urbanization, vector-borne diseases, influenza, avian influenza, measles, malaria, Ebola virus disease, and long-term consequences of the 2014-2015 West Africa Ebola outbreak. Health worker migration is also briefly discussed. The document contains detailed information on the transmission, epidemiology, and impact of various tropical and global health challenges.
Aids Care Scheme
This document discusses the development of syndromic practice guidelines for primary care in high HIV prevalence settings. It argues that standardized case management can improve diagnosis, treatment, and referral. Common outpatient conditions like respiratory infections, malaria, and STIs represent a large portion of health service visits. While disease presentations in early stage HIV may not differ from non-infected individuals, adequate management of selected conditions can reduce mortality and improve quality of life for those with HIV. Further research is still needed on treating certain conditions like pneumonia to help develop standardized syndromic guidelines.
Communicable Diseases
This document provides information about tuberculosis (TB) in the Philippines. It states that TB is considered the world's deadliest disease and remains a major public health problem in the Philippines. It is caused by tubercle bacilli and primarily affects the respiratory system but can also affect other organs. It ranks as the 6th leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Philippines. The document then provides details on symptoms, transmission, diagnosis and treatment of TB cases according to national policies and guidelines. It also discusses the DOTS strategy for TB control.
Dr. Huma Arshad
Hepatitis A and typhoid fever are vaccine-preventable waterborne diseases transmitted through the fecal-oral route. They remain a major public health issue in Pakistan, with over two-thirds of the population lacking access to clean drinking water. Typhoid fever in particular is endemic in Pakistan, with high rates of multidrug-resistant Salmonella strains emerging. Vaccination is critical to control these diseases and reduce their significant health and economic burden.
Tuberculosis
This document provides an overview of tuberculosis (TB). It discusses that TB infects around 9 million people and causes 1.5 million deaths annually, making it a major global health problem. Key topics covered include the causative agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis; epidemiology of TB including increasing rates of drug-resistant and HIV-associated TB; risk factors; clinical presentation; diagnosis using smear microscopy, culture, radiography and other tests; treatment of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB; prevention through contact investigation and vaccination; and challenges to eliminating TB.

Captone presentations
This document summarizes a needs assessment conducted in Bangkok, Thailand to inform diabetes prevention efforts. Surveys found exercise was the top perceived need, with 28.9% reporting no exercise. However, participants noted a lack of community spaces and access barriers to physical activity. While organizers were concerned about a lack of cooperation and commitment to community-centered programs. The needs assessment identifies structural and participation barriers to address to effectively promote diabetes prevention in the community.
Civic Engagement
This document summarizes strategies used to undermine public acceptance of climate change science and discusses ways to more effectively engage the public on this issue. It notes that corporate interests have funded front groups and think tanks to manufacture doubt about climate science and make lack of certainty a political issue. As a result, news media often portray climate science as a two-sided controversy when there is actually a scientific consensus. It suggests joining online networks for information and action, developing new communication strategies, and promoting a values-based debate around climate solutions rather than perpetuating manufactured controversies.
Global Responsibilities for Health Care
The document discusses accountability for global health efforts. It asks if governments of poor countries are accountable for not spending more on domestic health and if so, to whom. It also asks if international organizations like the IMF and World Bank are accountable for policies that discourage health spending and if rich country governments are accountable for not providing more international health aid. It notes challenges to mutual accountability given both national and international responsibilities for health.
Understanding the Effect of the GAVI Initiative on Reported Vaccination Cover...
This document discusses the critical role of health metrics and evaluation in ensuring accountability, transparency and reducing corruption in global health. It provides two examples: tracking childhood immunization coverage shows investments have increased coverage gradually over 20 years but initiatives can lead to over-reporting; India's conditional cash transfer program for facility births increased coverage and likely reduced mortality, but quality issues remain. Overall, independent monitoring of health indicators and evaluation of programs is needed to show resources are having their intended impact.
Grass without roots
Foreign funding to NGOs in Nicaragua has undermined their accountability to grassroots organizations and limited their ability to catalyze social change. Due to short-term funding cycles tied to donor priorities, NGOs are more accountable to foreign donors than the communities they are meant to serve. This has contributed to a façade of civil society dominated by urban NGO elites rather than empowered grassroots organizations. As a result, NGOs have had minimal policy impact and have demobilized, rather than empowered, the people. Long-term funding structures that strengthen accountability to local constituencies may help NGOs better support grassroots organizations and social movements.

The document also describes IBP's role in providing funding, capacity building, information sharing, and networking opportunities to support its partners' budget work.
Perspectives and Controversies surrounding human rights
This document discusses the right to health from a human rights perspective. It begins by defining key concepts like health, human rights, and the relationship between health and human rights. It then examines how the right to health is established under international law through conventions like the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The document also summarizes commentary on the right to health from the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Finally, it discusses some controversies and challenges regarding a human rights-based approach to health, such as issues of universality and developing appropriate indicators.
Politics and Health Reform:Lessons From a Year in Washington, D.C.
This document summarizes the history of health reform efforts in the United States from the late 19th century to 2009. It discusses how a national health insurance system has been proposed since the 1880s but consistently opposed by groups like the AMA and insurance industry. The US now spends over twice as much per capita on healthcare as other OECD countries but has lower life expectancy and more administrative waste. Creating a universal, publicly financed system could reduce costs while improving access and outcomes.

His talk was on ""What Will It Take To Control TB?"
Health Societal Right100122 Web
This document discusses health as a societal right. It begins by discussing how health has traditionally been viewed as an individual responsibility but argues that there are no biological reasons why entire populations cannot be healthy. It then explores how health can be considered a societal or human right. The document examines how determinants of health are influenced by societal factors like inequality and poverty rather than just individual behaviors or access to healthcare. Overall, it promotes a view of health as a societal issue that governments should aim to improve and protect for entire populations, rather than just an individual concern.
"The Aid Enclave: Mapping and Emerging Geography of Global Health"
The document discusses how global health initiatives have led to the emergence of "aid enclaves" - self-contained areas focused on health research and aid that become isolated from their surroundings. It describes how these enclaves develop through economic, political, and ethical processes. Economically, they exist as tax-free zones that offer higher pay and privileges to foreigners compared to locals. Politically, they represent a return to colonial-style projects. Ethically, they position themselves as spaces of biomedical and moral correctness but may marginalize local healing practices. The document critiques how enclaves can act as "parasites" detached from the communities they aim to serve.
"U.S. Healthcare Reform"
1) The US ranks last among seven countries in overall health system performance and ranks last or near last on most measures of health care quality, access, efficiency, and equity.
2) While the US spends much more per capita on health care than other countries, it has poorer population health outcomes and shorter life expectancies.
3) Rising health care costs are consuming an increasing share of family budgets in the US. The percentage of families spending over 10% and over 25% of pre-tax income on health care doubled from 2000 to 2008.
"The Health System and Aid Effectives: Sudan's Experience"
The document summarizes Sudan's health system and aid effectiveness. It provides background on Sudan's location and history as a 4000 year old civilization. It then discusses Sudan's socio-economic context, including its potentially rich natural resources and decentralization of services. The health delivery system is described as providing free healthcare, with increasing expenditures over time. Main health issues are outlined and data is given on international NGO presence and beneficiaries across regions. The document concludes with some of the challenges facing Sudan's health system.

IHOP Information Session 2010
The IHOP program allows medical students to spend 8 weeks in a developing country to learn about global health challenges. Students conduct a community health assessment and partner with local organizations to address health needs. The experience aims to provide cultural immersion and help students understand how to incorporate global health into their careers. Students are responsible for costs of $3,000-$5,000 and must complete assignments while abroad and after returning. Strong applicants have a genuine interest in global health and experience with underserved populations.
Mexico Health Reform
The document summarizes health reforms in Mexico from 1943-2004, with a focus on the 2004 reform that established the Health Social Protection System. It overviews declining mortality rates and increasing life expectancy over time. Key aspects of the 2004 reform included establishing universal health care coverage, separating financing from service provision, defining an essential benefits package, and increasing accountability through performance measurement. The reform reorganized Mexico's health system to improve access, quality, and financial protection for all citizens.
Aid In Mozambique
The document discusses health care systems and funding in Mozambique. It outlines the various sectors involved in health including public, private, NGOs, and traditional/alternative care. It also describes the types of funding for health care including vertical, horizontal, and diagonal funding. Vertical funding for specific diseases has increased from organizations like PEPFAR, Global Fund, and foundations. While this funding has increased dramatically, questions remain about whether NGOs effectively strengthen health systems or divert resources and can fragment services.
Code of Conduct
The document summarizes research into how NGOs are implementing a voluntary Code of Conduct for Health Systems Strengthening. Interviews found that while most signatories are aware of the Code and value its principles, they still face challenges adhering to provisions around hiring health workers from ministries of health and matching government salaries. Some promising practices discussed include building workforce capacity through training, advocating for improved public sector opportunities, and coordinating hiring and compensation policies among NGOs. Overall, signatories are committed to the Code's goals but continuing to test practical solutions for balancing them with operational needs.
Public, Private Partnerships
The document discusses the erosion of public sector health systems and increased privatization. It argues that without strong public sectors, healthcare will be inequitable and exclude the poor, rural communities, and marginalized groups. Public health measures also risk being neglected. It examines factors driving privatization like international financial institutions and private sector interests, and argues the private sector did not compensate for declines in public investment as hoped.
Private Sector Collaboration
The document discusses PATH's approach to collaborating with private sector partners to advance global health technologies. It focuses on PATH bringing expertise in developing country health systems and strategic relationships, while partners contribute product development expertise, intellectual property, and distribution systems. The collaboration aims to improve availability, accessibility, and affordability of important health products for public health programs.
