Background
Coordinators and key stakeholders from Cherepovets, Dimitrovgrad, Izhevsk and
Stavropol are being were convened in this third training session of the We Choose Life
Youth Against HIV AIDS Project to explore ways in which they can develop campaigns
that will address identified needs and gaps in current HIV /AIDS communications,
enhance HIV/AIDS literacy amongst key target groups, especially youth; “engage the
unengaged”; overcome obstacles and strengthen the reach and impact of current
prevention and treatment services.
This campaign development workshop builds on the Stakeholder and Youth Volunteer
Network activities to date; in particular the youth behavioural surveys.
The workshop will serve to help each of the cities finalise campaign plans and will utilize
data collected by each city prior to the meeting see campaign development
planning questions below. The three day workshop will be include sessions on
communications as a determinant of health, formative communication research, issue
framing, an advocacy framework , practical campaign planning exercises, issues
related to social marketing, working with media, media advocacy, and campaign
evaluation. There will be both lectures, group work and discussion sessions.
Workshop Objectives
The overall aim of the project is to reduce the disease burden related to HIV/AIDS
amongst youth in participating cities.
The key objective of the workshop is to assist each city stakeholder team to agree and
finalise plans for a youth focused HIV/AIDS communication campaign that will raise
awareness and stimulate healthy behaviors, choices and policies.
As a secondary benefit of this process the workshop aims to enhance participants’
capacities in health communications, communication related research, advocacy,
social marketing as well as working with media.
It is further anticipated that the skills developed for this specific project should be
generalisable to other key public health communication challenges.
Pre-workshop activities- Some questions to answer
Each city is asked to carry out a series of tasks that is aimed at collecting data needed
for effective campaign planning. Reach city will customize their own campaign plans
aimed at enhancing HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment information, education and
public awareness (and supportive policies) by stimulating demand for information and
engaging and strengthening the capacity of health leaders, people living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and information mediators, e.g. health professionals, media, policy
spokespeople, NGO advocates, and private sector advertisers, to respond effectively.

Social Marketing Is The Practice Of Utilizing TheAnkit Saxena
Social marketing is the practice of using commercial marketing techniques to promote social or health programs. It is audience-centered and aims to enhance perceived benefits and reduce costs of behaviors. The key aspects of social marketing are the "4 P's" - product, price, place, and promotion. NGOs are value-based organizations that rely on donations and volunteers. They have formal structures and are non-governmental entities focused on public good. Common types of NGOs include those focused on advocacy, grassroots implementation, acting as "mother NGOs" that provide support to smaller NGOs, and those affiliated with corporations.
The document discusses using web 2.0 technologies like social media to improve patient compliance and communication. It notes that a one-size-fits-all approach does not address the underlying causes of how patients behave. Patients may drop out due to lack of credible information. The document promotes engaging patients through blogs, social networks, and tools that allow patients to track health metrics and share experiences online.
1) The document proposes two entities, CHIERS Inc. and Enterprise 501c3, to address rising gun violence and polarization by empowering community health.
2) CHIERS will create a "Community Health Index Electronic Reporting System" and mobile app to analyze government health data and provide scores and insights. Enterprise 501c3 will implement community programs around physical, mental, spiritual, social and environmental health.
3) The programs will be evaluated based on progress developing CHIERS, recruiting partners, and meeting deliverables for Enterprise 501c3 like mediation sessions, youth activities, and health plans in pilot communities. The goal is to empower community members to improve their own health and reduce sickness.
Remixing Public Health: Tools for Public Health InnovationJody Ranck
This document discusses how social media and new technologies can be leveraged for public health goals. It argues that public health approaches need to shift from top-down models to more collaborative models that engage citizens and different sectors. The document outlines various social media tools and platforms that can be used for content creation, collaboration, community-building, and collective action. It provides examples of how these tools have been used for issues like citizen journalism, crisis response, and open data initiatives.
Patients Rising: How to Reach Empowered, Digital Health Consumerse-Patient Connections
Kru Research's white paper discussing how to reach out to empowered, digital, health consumers or e-Patients. Discussion of participatory medicine, digital health consumers, e-Patients, web 2.0, the power of social media, ROI of social media, regulatory concerns, HIPAA, FDA, adverse event reporting, and the future of social media in health marketing.
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.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
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.

3. Community of Practice A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share an interest, a craft, and/or a profession. The group can evolve naturally because of the members' common interest in a particular domain or area, or it can be created specifically with the goal of gaining knowledge related to their field. It is through the process of sharing information and experiences with the group that the members learn from each other, and have an opportunity to develop themselves personally and professionally (Lave & Wenger 1991).

18. How do you legislate for sustainability in a fast changing economic world? Observing independent models, journalistic models Understanding ‘failure’ Getting the principles – and not getting tied to the platform or Political understanding Economic drivers How it relates to what you will be doing – what is your role? Where do you sit in this picture?

As we go along I’m going to pose you some questions.
. CoPs can exist online, such as within discussion boards and newsgroups, or in real life, such as in a lunch room at work, in a field setting, on a factory floor, or elsewhere in the environment.While Lave and Wenger coined the term in the 1990s, this type of learning practice has existed for as long as people have been learning and sharing their experiences through storytelling.In relation to mental health – these communities of practice have been developing because of the digital medium itself and because this work began before ‘powers that be’ – local government or Health care services identified the practice. Within the over all umbrella community of practice – mental health 2.o there are subsets of communties. These are useful to be able to identify. This methodology will evolves’s organically and groupings are identfied rather than areas’ being defined then knowledge sought.
What is the current status quo for mental health? Who are the pillars for this status quo?What do they need to understand about The Brave New World.Power and Control. The status quo is an age old description of power and control. The situations can change but the issue is the same.Where digital mental health work in the principles of social media is the redefining of the power structures.
Commissioners – role changing. Economic situation. Information age. Just to note:Funding for mental health in the UK is mainly joint funded by Health (Primary Care Trust) & Social Care – (Adult Social Services)Contract’s awarded to Voluntary sector – dependent on specific outcomesMental Health Trust’s work independently but to same outcomesSome independent funding – or ring fenced. I won’t go too deeply into what our funding is – but what is important is understanding it –it’s processes & expectations in order to understand the cultures who will be ultimately influencing the digital service design that you would be developing, using etc.
Conversation is happening all over the place with hash tags on twitter – without hashtags. Forums, discussion groups.My involvement has watched these conversations and used my experience to understand how to intervene appropriately – how to influence policy.I can do this as an individual – but as a worker?
Good – evidence based – saving money or example, 27% of members are from BME communities and men are over a third of our membership. We are outcome focused. Last month 88% of members found Big White Wall fairly or very helpful in managing their condition without any other form of support and nearly a half found it useful in finding work or improving work performance In cost terms, the model of an independent specialist showed that we make conservative estimates of direct preventative cost savings to the NHS of £34 000 per 100 people (attached).

Andy hasn’t been shy about his business approach – he has done ‘deal’s’ with Local and national gov, alcoholic beverages, education providers. He challenges thought on the traditional ways that mental health ‘should be done’ by the deals he makes.
Data hacking and owning data Is starting to be a key movement in the UK – independent city hacking. Entrepreneurs. With coders amongst others.Front end is about story telling/ sharing/ guidingBack end is the same – but it’s also the building blocks – and will drive the innovation
My personal experience is that it is 6 years on from my original point of work. I have been able to move the commissioners & health care providers perspective on and I have been able to initiatte online networks that are I belive the building blocks for a cutural shift.Services in the UK are starting to get, that they don’t get it. And that they need to get it. But they are now dividing into 2 camps. One is the panic camp. One is the measured ‘right, lets invest some time and expertise in understanding’ That’s difficult at a time when they are simultaneously being forced into cutting anything that is seen as an extra to direct service provision.So a lot not has to be couched in how to meet real current need. Which is no bad thing.I’m entrepreurial and a little bit of an artist/ inventor. So it can be very interesting to me to start to work out an interesting product/ idea.What’s good about the current constraints is it keeps it ‘real’ – simplicity.

I make a correlation when discussing with health care professionals the change that happened in the mental health care system that we are all aware of. The time of the Lunatic asylum which when began were the places offering support to the most vulnerable. But the survivors of High Royds and many similar places talk about really, what was abuses of power whether known or unknown and most likely for the right reasons – from an orignial desire to protect people from harm or harming others. Moving from that to current acute services and community services was a change. Moving towards a community cohesion and lessening stigma approach took work. And similarly we are moving to an age where people have more breadth of access to others. And can choose to disconnect from us ‘the professionals’ And so we need to change our approach.

They may be more pronounced in this area or it may be a case of service led – duty of care fears. Research into offline and online behaviours the key. However there is a big discussion about the social media simply being the tool of people. However the speed and breadth of access and disconnect between mental health professionals understanding is actually where the danger lies.
This is a workers perspectiveBut what I also want to remind you is that no one is just a worker. We’re all individuals – with our own experience of mental health. Of learning. Of sharing.And in this you have an opportunity to develop – from your perspective your community of practice.You have the tools now. – you can keep a learning journalYou can develop your practiceBut you must also be engaged in plugging this in to services – to be having conversations with health care professionals – to service providers. To begin to be the bridge between what is happening outside of services – conversations in health to the understanding that is being developed in health. Its an exciting time – you have the opportunity to influence positive change in a way that can be very visible. (and appropriate – responsible)Its also a time when we must show responsibility – to non mental health – opportunity to break down issues around stigma.
