Attacks on health global report by human rights watchDr. Chris Stout
A report released by Human Rights Watch and the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition calls for countries to act against the violence that health workers have endured in at least 20 countries in the last year.
The report, released alongside a World Health Assembly event dedicated to the issue, describes recent attacks that have disrupted the work of health workers from Afghanistan, to Syria to Yemen. It also details steps that should be taken to prevent more attacks—and hold those responsible accountable, explains Leonard Rubenstein, chair of the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition.

The Impact of Temperature and Relative Humidity Elevation on Mental Health of...ijtsrd
The paper examined the impact of temperature and relative humidity escalation on mental health of in patient admitted into Jos Teaching Hospital JUTH Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. The main independent variables of interest were temperature and relative humidity we also employed two derived parameters heat index and overlapping effect in our analysis in which we used four years 2011 2014 data of psychiatric cases and in patient that were admitted in the hospital, ex post facto research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 2073 in patient that was admitted in the hospital from the year 2011 2014 was sample used for the study. Data collected were analyzed with used of single regression and multiple regression analysis with complex heat index formula. The study found climate parameters temperature and relative humidity and their counterpart derived parameters heat index and overlapping effect make population vulnerable to the risk of psychiatric cases and do increase the numbers of patient admitted in the JUTH. There were positive association between the numbers of in patient in the JUTH and those parameters with 41 and 38 critical acute psychiatric cases due to overlapping and heat index effect respectively. In other word 79 10.2 of the total 778 numbers of patient traceable to those parameters were in critical acute psychiatric condition. Increase in the relative humidity and overlapping made population more vulnerable to the risk of psychiatric cases with approximately equal strength than the heat index and temperature. But the heat index makes more risk than temperature. The vulnerability of population to psychiatric cases was not equally distributed throughout the year 2011 2014. Population response differently to the impact of each parameter throughout those years considered. The effective strength of relative humidity determines the effective strength of the overlapping effect and the effective strength of temperature determine that of the heat index. Jaiyeola O.

INTRODUCTION:
A pandemic is a global disease outbreak.
EXAMPLES: 1) HIV/AIDS is an example of one of the most destructive global pandemics in
history.
2) Spanish influenza killed 40-50 million people in 1918.
3) In 2003, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic took the lives of nearly 800
people worldwide.
OBJECTIVES OF LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:
ROLE OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:
The federal government has the central role in shaping all aspects of the health care sector.
Strong federal leadership, a clear direction in pursuit of common aims, and consistent policies
and practices across all government health care functions and programs are needed to raise the
level of quality for the programs’ beneficiaries and to drive improvement in the health care
sector overall.
The federal government plays a number of different roles in the health care arena, including
regulator; purchaser of care; provider of health care services; and sponsor of applied research,
demonstrations, and education and training programs for health care professionals. Each of these
roles can support the accomplishment of somewhat different objectives along the spectrum from
quality assurance to quality improvement to quality innovation.
PROVISION OF NECESSITIES:
If people are instructed to avoid public places, such as markets, stores, and pharmacies, or if
those places are required to close, there will be a need for people to procure food, medicine, and
other necessities in some other way. Similarly, shutting down mass transit may prevent people
from being able to get to those facilities that do remain open, and it could prevent some people
from being able to seek medical care. Such a situation also raises distributive-justice concerns
since those people with the least resources will be least likely to be able to procure additional
resources before closings occur.
Ideally governments would set up networks for the distribution of necessary provisions to
citizens’ homes, with a particular focus on those most in need. Such distribution should be
consistent and reliable, and it should provide necessities such as food and medicine for the
duration of social-distancing measures. It should also be conducted in such a manner as to
minimize interaction with potentially infectious people, and those people responsible for
distributing provisions should use infection-control precautions to decrease the likelihood that
they will spread disease. Transportation for medical care should be provided as needed by
personnel who are apprised of the risks involved in transporting potentially infectious people;
these personnel should be provided with protective equipment that will allow them to guard
themselves from the disease and to avoid spreading it to others. Similarly, a program should be
put in place for the removal of bodies from homes in a safe and efficient manner.
Resource constraints and logistical difficulties are likely to impede such a program in many
areas. Many gov.
Healthcare is a major part of every country's development platform. By healthcare we are in fact protecting the most important driver of development. Healthcare systems are primarily safe guarding the development core engine and are the best means of sustainable development.
Epidemiological studies play a crucial role in understanding the distribution, causes, and prevention of diseases in populations. These studies provide valuable insights into the incidence, prevalence, and risk factors associated with various diseases. By identifying the distribution of diseases across different population groups, epidemiological studies help public health officials develop and implement effective preventive measures. This topic is particularly relevant in the current global health context, with the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic highlighting the importance of epidemiological research in mitigating the spread of infectious diseases. Epidemiological studies utilize a range of research methods, including observational studies, randomized controlled trials, and cohort studies, to investigate the relationships between various factors and disease outcomes. These studies also examine the impact of environmental, genetic, and behavioral factors on disease risk. By understanding the underlying factors that contribute to disease risk, epidemiological research can inform the development of targeted interventions to reduce disease burden and improve overall population health. This article will explore the various types of epidemiological studies, including cross sectional studies, case control studies, and prospective studies, as well as the advantages and limitations of each approach. It will also discuss the role of epidemiological studies in shaping public health policy, from identifying risk factors to evaluating the effectiveness of preventive measures. Finally, the article will highlight some of the latest developments in epidemiological research, including the use of big data analytics and machine learning algorithms to identify patterns and trends in disease incidence and risk factors.

Epidemiology is the science and practice which describes and explains disease patterns in populations,
and puts this knowledge to use to improve health. The central paradigm of epidemiology is that patterns
of disease in populations may be analyzed systematically to provide understanding of the causes and
control of disease. Epidemiology seeks out the differences and similarities ('compare and contrast') in
the disease patterns of populations to gain new knowledge. Valid measurement of the frequency of
disease and factors which may influence disease, and are therefore potential explanations for the
observed patterns, is crucial to the epidemiological goal. The focus of epidemiology is on the pattern of
disease and ill-health in the population. Epidemiology combines elements of clinical, biological, social
and ecological sciences. Epidemiology is dependent on clinical practice and sciences to make a
diagnosis, the starting point of our work. The goal of epidemiology as a science is to understand the
causes of disease variation and use this to improve the health of populations and individuals. The goal of
epidemiology as a practice is preventing and controlling disease, guiding health and health care policy
and planning, and improving health care in individuals. Epidemiological variables should meet the
purposes of epidemiology. Epidemiology is based on theories.
Programs for public health practitioners in the field, due to the profession is so dispersed in its work—from employment in private managed care organizations and clinics. The main purpose of this study is to analysis the relationship between law and ethics with public healthcare performance. The present study used a quantitative research design, specifically the descriptive survey design. This is because such design accurately and objectively describes the characteristics of a situation or phenomenon being investigated in a given study. It provides a description of the variables in a particular situation and, sometimes, the relationship among these variables rather than focusing on the cause-and effect relationships. Thus, this study used a questionnaire which was developed from previous research in order to measure the relationships among the investigated variables. This study was carried out in different healthcare centers located in Erbil, the total of 81 participants participated in this study. The researcher developed research hypothesis as follow; there is a positive and significant relationship between law and healthcare performance in Erbil. The finding of this study showed that the value of beta for law and ethics factor is .749 with the P-value .000 this means that the law and ethics will have positive and significant influence on healthcare performance; accordingly the main research hypothesis is supported.

Question 1How do communication skills tie in to the writing of a.docxIRESH3
Question 1
How do communication skills tie in to the writing of an audit report? What skills do you identify within yourself that are valuable, or those that will need improvement, should you be called upon to write an audit report?
Question 2
In this junior seminar, you are reviewing and exploring information literacy. The earlier seminar courses that you may have taken have had as their focus communication and critical thinking. For this week's discussion posting,
1. In two or three sentences, please summarize what you have learned about information literacy so far in your earlier courses and in this seminar.
2. Then explain how information literacy is a set of skills that builds or relies upon an expansion of communication and critical thinking skills. In other words, why are communication and critical thinking concepts needed for good information literacy? For example, if good information literacy includes the ability to integrate materials from external sources into a persuasive paper that you are writing to an audience, how does good communication enhance that? Or for critical thinking, how does the ability to compare and contrast competing ideas lead to better information literacy?
Question 3
Respond to the following questions:
· As the price of super bowl tickets rises, what happens to the quantity of tickets that people are willing to buy? Explain your answer.
· As the price of super bowl tickets rises, what happens to the quantity of tickets that people are willing to sell? Explain your answer.
· If the government bans the aftermarket sale of super bowl tickets would this act as a price ceiling? Explain your answer.
Question 4
It has been asserted (both through popular perception and through data-driven research) that Generation Y is more self-centered, and some would say, narcissistic, than other generations who came before. With the advent of social media, "selfies," and other Web 2.0 integration, this perception has gained more popularity in recent years.
Assuming this is the case, what does this mean for the future of this generation, and perhaps the future of Humanities? Provide any relevant examples to support your claim.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
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.

Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:

Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
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.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days.

2. THE SCIENTIFIC ASSURANCE 2
Introduction
Isolation is the restriction of infected persons to prevent or reduce the transmission of the
infected agent, while in contrast, quarantine is the restriction of healthy persons who have been
exposed to communicable diseases but are not considered infected at the time they are restricted
(According to Bhattacharya, 2013, p.404).
Problem Statement
Even though isolation and quarantine are measures used to control the spread of
infectious or communicable diseases from exposed individuals to unexposed individuals, there
have been several arguments regarding the imposing of the practices on individuals concerning
patients security, identification of the disease stage, receiving appropriate treatment, imposing
restrictions on patient autonomy and invasions of the privacy, however, infectious and
communicable diseases emerge at certain periods in the environment, and became a public health
issue to safeguard the population from it becoming an epidemics. In dealing with outbreaks of
communicable diseases, the use of interventions such interventions requires to be assessed with a
valid scientific methods, supported by with government laws and policies, considered reasonable
to bring the interventions to practice and acceptable by people (Bostick, Levine & Sade, 2008).
Background
3. THE SCIENTIFIC ASSURANCE 3
Historically, dated back to 1882, Eastern European Jewish immigrants were isolated and
quarantined in New York to curb the spread of typhus a contagious disease, and protect the
public’s health. The measure resulted in the decrease in the number of cases’ and deaths due to
the infection (Bhattacharya, 2013, p.404). There have been several periods of contagion
exposure such as the 2003 SARS outbreak,H5N1 influenza virus(bird flu) treats, including the
present Ebola treats and others not mentioned, all which reinforced fears in public safety, again
concerns in the effectiveness of laws and policies guiding isolation and quarantine and how
scientifically strong the practices are. The interventions are not forceful detention of affected
individuals but are voluntary. The implementing have been challenging at both the hospital and
community levels, by that requiring evaluation of reasonable laws and policies to guide it
practice (Bhattacharya, 2013).
Overview of Current Governmental Policy
Federal and State laws authorizes the community and local health department officials to
embrace quarantine or isolation actions as a matter of public protection to govern the detention,
isolation, quarantine, or release of individuals to prevent the introduction and transmission of
communicable diseases, and only on specified disease by executive orders e.g. a law under the
Title 42 of the Code of the Federal Regulation, section 70.6, provided in the public health
service act Section 361(b) of the federal authority was issued as regulation for isolation and
quarantine practice for all states to uphold(Bhattacharya, 2013,p.407).
Perspective of the economics discipline
Mass isolation and quarantine can perpetrate significant socio-economic costs such as
resulting in an individual impact of preventive measures in terms of lost wages and productivity
including organizational impact on affected individuals. The cost analysis of the intervention
4. THE SCIENTIFIC ASSURANCE 4
from different measures including costs to people, costs to individuals, and quality-of-life
measures, divided into direct cost of design and implementation of control programs e.g. material
fees and salaries); indirect costs to individuals e.g. losses in productivity due to the absence of
sick persons), and immaterial costs like those caused by stress and pain presents an increasing
costs per infection prevented, and life saved through isolation and quarantine procedures(Mubayi
et. al., 2010, p. 4-5;Bhattacharya, 2013,p.404).
Intervention/s Currently In Place to Address Issue
The list of communicable diseases for which quarantine or isolation is authorized is
specified in an executive order of the President. State and local health authorities has been
authorized to declare and enforce these measures within borders, they would let people know
that they may have been exposed and would direct them to get assessment or treatments which
usually occurs at a hospital, a health care facility or others. The isolation and quarantine
authority varies depending on state laws, and are granted by the government constitution to enact
laws and promote regulations to safeguard the health and welfare of people within state borders
(CDC, 2014).
Proposed Alternative Intervention to Address the Issue
The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA) is an alternative intervention
to address isolation and quarantine, it is a legislature written by notable public health entities to
help the government in revising their public health laws to control epidemics and respond to
bioterrorism, the model provides states with the power they need to detect and contain
bioterrorism and other naturally occurring disease outbreaks. The law has been introduced and
adopted in 34 states of the country (Bhattacharya, 2013, p.417-418).
Conclusion
5. THE SCIENTIFIC ASSURANCE 5
The effects of communicable disease undoubtable creates fear and insecurity in the
population both for the contagion and treatment, it also causes socioeconomic dysfunction in the
government and society, therefore it is important that risk assessment is made public health
enforcement to support isolation and quarantine interventions during epidemic with respect to
patient’s rights.
