The authors conducted a demographic surveillance of 10 counties around Atlanta in partnership with community organizations and government agencies. They identified 15 zip codes with high African American populations and AIDS rates. The surveillance found that these areas had mostly African American residents, around a third of whom were ages 18-44, with wide income ranges and varying education levels. Poverty was a significant predictor of AIDS rates. This data informed the development of an ethnically sensitive HIV/AIDS prevention project for the community. Conducting such partnerships and surveillance helps ensure communities are appropriately targeted and involved in research addressing their needs.
A survey of more than 2,200 adults over the age of 50 finds that more than 20% of them had experienced an emergency — a weather event or power outage — in the past year, but many were not necessarily prepared. Here’s more:
•Medical supplies: Among those who take medications, some 18% didn’t have a week’s supply of essential drugs handy. Among those who relied on electricity for medical equipment, a quarter said they had alternate ways of generating power.
•Shelter and mobility: The majority said they’d have transportation to leave their home in case of an emergency, but a quarter said they’d have trouble finding another place to stay.
•Other supplies: A little over half said they have a seven-day supply of food and water. Fewer than a third have a fully stocked emergency kit.

A large, national survey conducted by the CDC in 44 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico finds that more than 20% of Americans are unpaid caregivers. Here's more:
•Overall trends: Between 2015-2017, nearly 21% of people who responded to a phone survey on health risks were classified as unpaid caregivers. An additional 17% said they expected to become caregivers in the two years following the survey.
•Demographics: Nearly 60% of caregivers were women, and nearly 45% of caregivers were aged 45 and younger.
•Regional trends: 14% of those in Puerto Rico reported being caregivers, compared to more than 28% of those in Tennessee. Unpaid caregivers were most common in Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, and Louisiana, all with a 25% or higher prevalence.
Recognition of the role local public health departments play has risen sharply since 2018, according to a national poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies for the de Beaumont Foundation. 73 percent of voters say public health departments play an important role in making communities healthy, compared with 56 percent in 2018. And 61 percent say they'd be willing to pay more in state and local taxes to provide funding for public health services.

Running Head: COMMUNITY ANALYSIS 1
Community Analysis
The most prevalent risk factors among racial and ethnic minorities are unprotected vaginal or anal sex, inadequate sex education, improving access to prevention and care services and drug use. Jackson, MS has a population of 173,212, with median household income of $32,250. Poverty is one of the major contributing factors to the risky behaviors and the rise of HIV infections within racial/ethnic minority youths. The residents with incomes below the poverty level in Jackson, MS by 2015 was 39.9%, and those with income below 50% of the poverty level was 19.2%, the breakdown is between ages 13 to 19 years of poor residents in Jackson, MS and the percentage is below half of poverty level of 20%. The most common race or ethnicity living below the poverty line in Jackson, MS is Black or African American, followed by White and Hispanic or Latino. The state of homelessness is on the rise and many of these shelters in Jackson, MS now have waiting lists with majority of its occupants are racial/ethnic minority. Even with the waiting lists, those that need to be sheltered will have to call ahead to confirm (City Data, 2015).
Mississippi is one of the most rustic states in the United States and its population is perhaps the poorest. According to the 2010 Census, Mississippi has a population of 2,967,297 people, with a racial distribution of 59% white, 37% black, 3% Hispanic, and 2% other. Mississippi ranks second in the nation (after the District of Columbia) for the highest proportion of African Americans. Through U.S. Census Bureau 2011 American Community Surveys, Mississippi levels the first in the country for the number of people living in poverty (22.6% of the total population) and the lowest middle household revenue ($36,919) (United State Census Bureau, 2011). According to the 2011 National HIV Surveillance Report, Mississippi had the 4th highest rate of HIV infection in the United States. The state’s capital city, Jackson, had the third highest rate of HIV diagnoses within aged 13 to 19 years and the eighth highest AIDS diagnosis by metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in 2011. For the past twenty years, numbers of peoples living with HIV in Mississippi has risen yearly. By the end of December 31, 2013, there was approximately 10,473 Mississippians living with HIV (National HIV Surveillance Report, 2013).
Secondary data
Jackson, MS the state’s capital city and with the most new HIV disease cases are identified in the West Central Public Health District V, which includes the metropolitan Jackson Hinds area, where 47% of all persons with HIV disease in Mississippi reside presently (Mississippi State Department of Health, 2015). According to data for states and metropolitan areas, it’s shown that racial and ethnic minority youths aged between 13 to 19 years rank 4th in the diagnose of HIV at 44.7%. The education b ...

Increase community awareness of HIV/AIDS and HIV prevention strategies.
Increase community understanding of the clinical research process.
Develop and strengthen relationships with community stakeholders, including (but not limited to) medical care providers, STD/HIV counseling and testing providers, faith leaders, Non Governmental Organizations and Community Based Organizations.
Increasingly, African Americans in general are recognizing that HIV is wreaking devastation across our communities. Those who have joined the fight against HIV and AIDS in Black communities are coming to understand that it is a difficult and multifaceted problem—but that it is also a winnable war. With this report, we aim to arm those people with the information they need to get there.
A tremendous need exists to engage hard-to-reach populations in HIV/AIDS care. That’s because numerous factors prevent people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA)—especially disadvantaged and disproportionately affected populations—from engaging in care or remaining in care.
This Webcast introduces providers to several successful strategies for reaching the most vulnerable populations:
Howell Strauss, DMD, AIDS Care Group, discusses traditional street outreach, as well as his involvement with both the SPNS Oral Health Initiative and the SPNS Jail Initiative.
Lisa Hightow-Weidman, MD, MPH, Department of Infectious Diseases University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, shares best practices in social marketing outreach in the context of her work as a SPNS Young Men who Have Sex with Men of Color Initiative grantee.

Community Resilience Mechanisms in Prevention, Control and Management of HIV/...paperpublications3
Resilience as a common goal has the potential to bring together those working on HIV/AIDs, social development and human rights. Resilience building facilitates an opportunity for different practitioners and policy makers to work in a way that responds to needs and empowers individual men and women, and their communities. Resilience makes us strong and community makes us thrive. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, with one of the objective of finding out the community resilience mechanisms in prevention, control and management of HIV/AID’s in Nyamira district. A Sample size of 384 people were selected for participation in the study. The enumerators were trained on the tools and a dry run was done during the training so the interviewers can comprehend the flow of questions. This helped in restructuring and rearranging of questions so that there was ease of data collection when in the community. Before dissemination of the study finding the data analyzed and presented in text, graphs, figures and tables for ease of understanding. Most of the HIV/AIDS organizations (70%) showed that they had half-way (75%) fulfilled their objectives although they had not realized their potential due to inadequate funds. most of the organizations (65%) compared with (18%) householders advocated for care and support to PLWHA/orphans at the family unit for easy access to food and support. Most of the HIV/AIDS organizations (84%) reported that they got funding from NACC, churches (37%), Government (12%), and individuals (25%). Most of the HIV/AIDS organizations (84%) reported that they got funding from NACC, churches (37%), Government (12%), and individuals (25%). Most of the development partners working in field of HIV/AID’s should strengthen networks of local NGOs, FBOs, international humanitarian organisations, and government ministries both at local and national levels for effective knowledge management and information dissemination on HIV/AID’s resilience.

Introduction to the Problem
Introduction to the Problem
Problem to be addressed. The first cases of AIDS in the United States were reported in New Yolk City and Los Angeles in 1981, but since then the epicenter of the country's HIV epidemic has shifted to the District of Columbia and the 16 states that make up the South, from urban centers. Today, the South is the most affected region and carries the greatest burden of HIV illnesses, deaths, and infection than any other region in the U.S, Rosenberg et al. (2015) reports.
Problem subtopic. Southern states alone account for 44 percent of all individuals infected with HIV in the U.S; surprisingly the region has approximately one-third of the overall population in the U.S. Southern states experience internal disparities due to their geographical position. The majority of people living with HIV live in urban areas just like the rest of the nation, Abara et al. (2015).
Possible Causes and Maintaining Forces
Cause. Unique socioeconomic factors in the South are the primary cause of the heavy burden of HIV. Poverty, poorer health facilities, income inequality, have been more prevalent in the Southern states than the rest of the country. These conditions are not unique to HIV and, overall, the populations in the region have long experienced poorer health outcomes. Among the health challenges are higher rates of diabetes, cancer, obesity as well as infant mortality compared to other areas, Hall et al. (2015) highlight.
Cause. Cultural factors and social barriers also contribute to worsening HIV infection in the South of the United States. Issues such as transphobia, homophobia, racism as well as a lack of openness in discussing sexuality in public are more common in the South, and they result in higher levels of stigma, limiting people's willingness to look for HIV testing, prevention, and care services. The challenges also restrict access to sexual health information which is critical to enable individuals to protect themselves from infection, according to Reif et al. (2015). Many people in South America are fearful or ignorant of HIV. Transgender women and men who have sex with men face high levels of discrimination and stigma putting them at risk of homicide and crimes. Since 2008, about 1,200 transgender individuals have been killed in South America. Furthermore, 44-70 percent of transgender women have expressed the need to relocate or were thrown out of their homes (Skarbinski et al., 2015).
Why the problem persists. The South experiences higher HIV diagnosis rates in rural and suburban areas that other regions countrywide. In this case, there are various drawbacks to HIV prevention efforts in this area, Abara et al. (2015) comments.
Why the problem persists. Compared to other regions, many Southerners living with HIV are not awar ...
Program evaluation: Philadelphia Fight’s Youth Health Empowerment Program (Y-...Antar T. Bush. MSW, MPH
HIV/AIDS has been serious public health issue facing the city of Philadelphia for the last two decades. According the AIDS Activities Coordinating Office, there are approximately 30,000 individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Philadelphia (AACO, 2012). This average is slightly higher than other major cities in the United States. AACO states the most vulnerable population is young men who have sex with men of color (MSM) between the ages of 15 and 25. This young population makes up for 56% of all new diagnosis of in the city (AACO, 2012). It is imperative for Philadelphia Fight to stay innovative with their approach to tackling sexual health issues that face this city. One major way Philadelphia Fight is addressing is epidemic is through opening the Youth Health Empowerment Project (Y-HEP).

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

ISSUE: The HIV/AIDS epidemic has been called “a public health emergency” in the African American
community. Georgia ranked ninth highest in the US for estimated rates of adult cases living with AIDS.
Seventy-eight percent of newly diagnosed HIV cases and 75 % of AIDS cases were among African
Americans who represented only 30% of the population. Seventy-two percent of HIV cases in
metropolitan Atlanta were African Americans.
SETTING: HIV Risk Reduction Research: Demographic Surveillance of Metropolitan Atlanta included
ten contiguous counties; Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry,
and Rockdale.
PROJECT: Healthy communities require sustained partnership efforts of diverse civic and community-
based organizations, individuals, and healthcare professionals. Our community-academic partnership
was developed following the prescribed steps informed by community-based participatory research
(CBPR) development. We identified metropolitan Atlanta areas where African Americans were most
adversely affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in order to concentrate prevention efforts in those areas.
We assessed zip code data including population, ethnic composition, race, age, per capita income,
education, and gender distribution.
RESULTS: Our community-academic partnership conducted the surveillance with assistance of
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Georgia Department of Human Resources, and Atlanta
Regional Commission representatives. We worked together identifying 15 zip code areas with majority
African American populations and significantly high AIDS rates. African Americans represented 81% of
the 565,057 total population study area of which 36% were between ages 18-44. Wide per capita
income range among African Americans yielded a $14,499 mean income. Two zip codes had 49.4%
and 45.4% living below poverty level. Thirty-two percent of males and 28% females were high school
graduates; 22% of males and 25% females had some college; 15% of males and 23% females had an
associate through graduate/professional degree. Although the 15 zip codes were similar on ethnic,
gender, and age measures, they varied considerably on per capita income and education indicators.
Importantly, US poverty income level (<$4,999) was a statistically significant predictor of AIDS rates.
Income above $4,999 and education were not statistically significant predictors. These data were used
to inform the next step – developing and implementing an ethnically sensitive community engaged
HIV/AIDS risk reduction project.
LESSONS LEARNED: Conducting a community-academic partnership led demographic surveillance
as the first step in CBPR 1) helps to assure identification of appropriately targeted communities, 2)
strengthens community involvement/support, 3) expands community-focused community and
researcher knowledge, 4) supports and informs development of research projects that effectively
address community priorities and needs.
