1) Cognitive deficits are a prominent feature across many central nervous system and non-CNS disorders and meaningfully impact patients' daily functioning and quality of life.
2) Cognition is complex, involving domains such as attention, memory, processing speed, and executive function, and different disorders are characterized by impairments in specific domains.
3) Addressing cognitive impairment has potential to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients, and represents an area of unmet need and commercial opportunity across several large disease areas.
Schizophrenia is a devastating psychotic disorder characterized by positive symptoms like delusions and hallucinations as well as negative symptoms that impact social and occupational functioning. It typically emerges in late adolescence/early adulthood and follows a chronic course with different phases. Treatment involves antipsychotic medication and psychosocial interventions to manage symptoms and maximize functioning.
Vortioxetine was approved by the FDA in 2013 under the brand name Brintellix for the treatment of major depressive disorder. However, it was later renamed Trintellix due to brand name confusion with the antiplatelet drug Brilinta. Trintellix is a multimodal antidepressant that works by inhibiting the serotonin transporter, antagonizing various serotonin receptors, and indirectly increasing release of other neurotransmitters. Clinical trials showed Trintellix to be effective at reducing depressive symptoms and may have benefits for cognitive function compared to placebo. It has a favorable side effect and safety profile, making it a treatment option when other antidepressants cannot be tolerated or are ineffective.
How do we define Health? Is WHO definition sufficient to operationalize and measure health domains? How do we compare data across health domains? Can we set up a "stock exchange" type of conversion utility to make use of different sources of data?

“tread softly, lest you step upon my dreams”
This document provides an overview of a research proposal on implementing visuals to communicate healthcare information. The study aims to: 1) identify why people have trouble understanding healthcare information, 2) determine how to design effective visuals, and 3) produce visual literacy tools to help interpret healthcare information. The literature review discusses visual literacy and its importance. It also examines challenges in understanding healthcare information due to factors like literacy, age, disability, language, culture and emotions. The study argues that visuals can help communicate healthcare information by complementing verbal explanations. The research methodology will involve questionnaires, interviews and document analysis to collect and analyze data on this topic.
HAS 22 Day 2: Healthcare Analytics’ Biggest Party Wraps UpHealth Catalyst
Day 1 of HAS 22 may have looked like a hard act to follow, but Day 2 did not disappoint! From early risers for the fun run/walk to a full day of keynotes, featured speakers, breakout sessions, and more, summit attendees learned new ways to look at data and analytics, how we relate to information and each other, and new perspectives for making the healthcare ecosystem–and world at large–a better place.
This document provides an overview of the contents and units covered in a course on mental health and psychiatric nursing science. The 12 units cover topics like the historical development of the field, theoretical foundations, specific mental disorders, treatment methods, and lifestyle factors influencing mental health. The introduction discusses definitions of mental health and illness, the relationship between physical and mental health, and factors that can impact one's mental well-being such as environment, genetics, and life experiences. It emphasizes the importance of understanding mental health from a holistic perspective that considers biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of a person.
The document discusses disabilities and disorders, including:
1. It defines disabilities as long-term impairments affecting daily living, and disorders as conditions disturbing health. Common disabilities include cognitive, intellectual, and physical, while common disorders are ADHD, SPD, ASD, ODD, and OCD.
2. It provides details on each type of disability and disorder, including common symptoms, causes, and characteristics. For example, it describes cognitive disabilities as affecting processing, speaking, and writing abilities.
3. The document outlines strategies for making physical activities accessible for children with special needs, such as medical checkups, interest-based activities, instructional modifications, and customized environments.
This document discusses the benefits of using robots and AI assistants to manage healthcare and free up humans to focus on more meaningful tasks. It argues that machines are well-suited for collecting and analyzing health data over time without burdening people. With a standardized health record accessible to both humans and machines, baseline health metrics can be established and personalized care plans can dynamically evolve based on changing health status. Ultimately, this approach aims to help people better understand and own their health so they can focus on their goals and dreams rather than worrying over mundane healthcare tasks.
Behavioral disorders screening and prediction1Sonu Kumar
Behavioral disorders are common in children and adults and can negatively impact one's life if left untreated. Some common behavioral disorders include anxiety disorders, disruptive behavioral disorders, and ADHD. Emotional symptoms of behavioral disorders may include anger, blaming others, and difficulty handling frustration. Physical symptoms are generally absent aside from potential issues from substance abuse. Autism is a type of behavioral disorder characterized by challenges with social skills and communication. Artificial intelligence can help predict autism and other behavioral disorders through analysis of behavioral screening data to enable early diagnosis and improved outcomes.
Psychology of Informatics Integration in HealthcareSanjoy Sanyal
The document discusses some challenges with integrating informatics in healthcare from psychological and financial perspectives. It suggests capturing patient medical histories through audio/video recordings rather than coding to avoid issues. It proposes a multimedia compiler to store and network the audiovisual recordings for ease of use and reference across different systems and locations. The conclusion emphasizes that healthcare informatics is a complex field with no direct comparisons, and that further collaborative research is needed to validate using audiovisual recordings to capture patient histories.
This document discusses potential career paths for health underwriters in light of healthcare reform. It outlines that while health underwriting will evolve, it will remain relevant. However, it pays to prepare for possible major changes by considering alternative careers that apply underwriting skills, such as other types of underwriting, actuarial sciences, employer benefits consulting, healthcare provider consulting, and Department of Insurance roles. It also discusses careers in personal employer organizations and encourages underwriters to pursue education, marketing, an open mind, and to enjoy the opportunities that may arise from changes in the industry.
Gesture Based Retrieval for Mental Illness RecognitionEditor IJCATR
In this work, we try to explore and explain content based image retrieval technique for mental illness early detection based
on gesture expression. Gesture expression based to recognize mental illness due to gesture has multidimensional and may features for
calculation. A technique used to detect and recognize facial expression called Content Based Image Retrieval or CBIR, in this technique
needed gesture image training and referencing. This research also proposed to construct an accurate method or algorithm to detect and
recognize whether one’s suffers mental illness or not. In this research was carried out using gesture image database and gesture without
obstacles (hat, moustache, glasses, etc). Research uses more than 5,000 gesture images with gesture which collected from Lampung
mental illness hospital and from the internet. Research produce an image gesture retrieval result quite good in term of precession and
recall parameters.
This document discusses emotional disturbances in children, which refers to a variety of mental health disorders that can affect a child's educational performance. It defines emotional disturbance according to federal special education law, outlines common characteristics and behaviors. It also looks specifically at some common disorders like anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, conduct disorder, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and psychotic disorders.

Promoting hl with inmates priester david young ppt 2012Marissa Stone
The document summarizes a workshop on promoting health literacy with inmates. It describes the workshop ground rules, outline, and activities. These included getting to know the audience, justifying the need for the project, describing the experimental design, observations made, preliminary findings, and acknowledging collaborators. The overall goal was to improve inmates' health literacy, self-care skills, and decision-making to ultimately improve their and the community's health.
Patients in medical rehabilitation (such as for stroke or spinal cord injury) often have many medical problems that reduce their energy and cognition. If their team decides they are 'psychologically unmotivated' they are discharged prematurely to nursing homes. Appropriate medical intervention can restore 'motivation' as well.

This document discusses the trend toward personalized health and fitness tracking. It introduces Thiery, a 32-year-old man who purchases a fitness tracking device to help him train for a charity run. Wearable devices and mobile apps that track metrics like steps, stairs climbed, and sleep are growing in popularity. Studies show that seeing real-time personal data can motivate users to increase physical activity levels. While personalized tracking holds promise for improving health behaviors and outcomes, it also risks overwhelming or alienating users if not implemented properly.

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.
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.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

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.
