While attention to eating disorders has increased in recent years, the illness remains one of the most common, dangerous and least understood in the United States. The numbers are truly staggering: An estimated 25 million Americans, many of them adolescents, suffer from eating disorders. Ninety percent of them are women between the ages of 12 and 25, though eating disorders do not discriminate by gender, age or ethnic background. More than one-half of teenage girls and nearly one-third of teenage boys use such unhealthy weight control behaviors as skipping meals, fasting, vomiting, and taking laxatives.

Ch. 2 Comparing Vulnerable Groups
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to:
Explain the difference between curative and preventive approaches to health care.
Identify common factors among vulnerable populations.
Examine age as it relates to the concept of vulnerability.
Determine the ways in which gender contributes to vulnerability.
Discuss how culture and ethnicity affect vulnerability on both personal and population levels.
Explain the relationship between education and income levels, and vulnerability.
Introduction
The United States boasts one of the most robust health care systems in the world. It is statistically credited with the longer healthy lifetimes enjoyed by a majority of the American population. Advances in medical science and technology certainly improve medical interventions, but a recent change in the philosophy of medical care is credited with improving the population's health on a macro level. As the cost of health care in America soared during the 1990s and 2000s, the health care community's focus shifted from curative care to preventive medicine.
Curative medicine focuses on curing existing diseases and conditions. In contrast, preventive medicine works by educating the community on healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise, nutritious food choices, and abstention from smoking. The idea is to prevent or forestall disease rather than wait until someone falls ill before providing treatment; however, living healthy lifestyles is still a personal choice. Studies indicate that preventive health care reduces morbidity, and that a preventive approach not only thwarts diseases that are associated with unhealthy choices, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, but also creates strong immune systems to fight common illnesses like flu and cold viruses. Furthermore, people who do not get sick are more productive workers because they do not have as many sickness-related absences. This point is particularly important when considering vulnerable populations. For many people, especially those in the most at-risk groups, workdays lost to illness means days without pay. Financial instability detracts from a person's social status, which is a nonmaterial resource that contributes to vulnerability. Less social status means less access to community resources, such as health care and fresh foods. Lack of resource access leads to more illness, and so the cycle continues.
Many individuals have limited access to health care, which includes the inability to access medical clinics for reasons of proximity, the lack of insurance coverage, and financial constraints such as inability to pay for medical treatments. Preventive medicine focuses on educating people before they become ill, but resource accessibility restricts preventive medicine programs and responsive health care programs from reaching the most at-risk populations. Evidence of this is seen in data on topics like bre ...

How Weight-Loss Solutions for Children Highlight the Complexity of Obesity.pdfRosalindaSardan
As a teen, Sean Rutherford was a sleep deprived person. So among 12 PM and 5 a.m., Rutherford would play Dido and Sarah McLachlan on a Walkman while they strolled the sum of their high rise in Lafayette, Louisiana. For an incidental break, they'd sit by the pool. However at that point it had returned to pacing the complex.

Obesity
Obesity known as having excess body fat and means a person’s weight is more than what is considered unhealthy for his or her size. Obesity has become an epidemic throughout the world and greatly affects people in America at an alarming rate. To get a better understanding of obesity, one will have to understand how various aspects in our life are affected by obesity. The mental anguish a person goes through as early as their childhood days. The effect that childhood obesity has on their life as an adult. Obesity is linked to the depression that a person goes through because of the appearance and the lack of self-esteem. Understanding the psychology of obesity will help give a better understanding to what causes the secondary effects of being obese. Learning how to eat and what to eat can prove to be beneficial in the mental state of people that are suffering from obesity. Educating people on the contributing factors of Obesity is paramount in the fight to reverse what has become a leading public health problem in the United States.
People Affected by Obesity
Obesity is not just an adult concern it has affected children of all ages and preschoolers as well. Obesity effects every ethnic group and both men and woman in the ethnic group. Within the United States the adults affected by obesity or being overweight is more than two-thirds of the adult population (Food Research and Action Center FRAC, 2014). Extreme obesity is seen more in woman than men and the black woman have a higher obesity rate than the white or Hispanic woman. The children and the low-income preschoolers are in the lower 30 percentile range of amount affected by obesity. Obesity has affected more African-American and Hispanic children than Caucasian children. The economic status of the preschoolers affects the rate of preschoolers that are overweight or obese. Low-income preschoolers have a rate of 30.4 percent that are obese. There are many contributing factors to someone suffering from being overweight or obese.
Contributing Factors
Obesity is diagnosed as a condition that develops because of a person makeup. There genetics, family history, age and sex is considered factors of a person becoming obese. The lack of some type of physical activity and even the negative emotions that a person is experiencing are thought to be reasons a person becomes obese. Another major reason for the growing rate of obesity in the United States is society. People are eating foods that have more calories today and that are lacking nutrition that is needed to remain healthy. Society has used technology to make life comfortable from home. You can order your groceries from your cell phone and have it delivered to your house instead of going to the super market. There are limited walk ...

Do any of the following phrases sound familiar It’s nothing to wor.docxblossomblackbourne
Do any of the following phrases sound familiar: “It’s nothing to worry yourself sick over,” “I was sick with worry,” or “Don’t stress yourself out”?
These are not just warnings or expressions about too much negative mental activity. What does it mean to worry to the point of sickness? What does it look like to stress yourself out? For you, it could be a bout with insomnia. For someone else, too much worry could result in an upset stomach. Yet for another, excessive stress for a long period of time could contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease.
The type of illness that results from too much stress depends on a variety of factors. Your age, gender, ethnic heritage, culture, and even geographical location all influence your response to developing stress-related illnesses. Some populations are more vulnerable to the effects of stress, just as some populations are more susceptible to certain diseases. Population-based health care focuses on assessing health needs, planning culturally sensitive prevention and intervention programs, and improving public health.
In this context, populations are groups of people defined by a common condition that perhaps need focused health education, prevention programs, or treatment. The following are some examples of populations:
Pregnant women
Military personnel returning from war
Those with low socioeconomic status
Those experiencing discrimination
Refugees
Those with asthma
The elderly
Those experiencing significant loss
Illegal immigrants
Those with cardiovascular disease
Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse
Victims of crime
Those with serious mental illness
Whether it is poverty, grief, or discrimination, the variety of stressors that members of these populations might encounter does not vanish overnight. As a result, the persistence of stress can contribute to long-lasting illness or chronic disease, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis. Seventy percent of all deaths in the United States are due to chronic disease. Fifty percent of Americans have at least one chronic disease. Chronic diseases are the most common and expensive diseases facing the world and since most chronic diseases have modifiable risk factors, most are preventable. The most common modifiable risks are poor diet, lack of exercise, and tobacco, alcohol, or drug use.

A Renewed Focus: From Nutrition Facts to Mindful Eating | Veritas CollaborativeVeritas_Collaborative
For an individual with an eating disorder, seeing and hearing nutritional facts can be exceptionally challenging. They are an ever-present reminder of the individual’s caloric, carb, or fat intake – a reminder that often triggers extreme anxiety, fear, guilt, or shame. For someone who struggles daily with anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder, or any other form of disordered eating, these messages may further reinforce an individual’s obsession with food intake.

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

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
Eating Disorders: Confronting an Epidemic | Veritas Collaborative
1. Eating disorders: confronting an epidemic
While attention to eating disorders has increased in recent years, the illness remains one
of the most common, dangerous and least understood in the United States. The numbers
are truly staggering: An estimated 25 million Americans, many of themadolescents, suffer
from eating disorders. Ninety percent of them are women between the ages of 12 and 25,
though eating disorders do not discriminate by gender, age or ethnic background. More
than one-half of teenage girls and nearly one-third of teenage boys use such unhealthy
weight control behaviors as skipping meals, fasting, vomiting, and taking laxatives.
If those numbers were linked to cancer or other well-documented medical condition,
alarm bells would be ringing. But eating disorders are complicated, easy to hide, and
difficult to diagnose or treat. And while scattered media coverage has helped raise public
consciousness in recent years, awareness of the depth and scope of eating disorders
remains relatively low. Ironically, few people are aware that the last week in February
marks National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, an annual event that draws attention
to this sweeping problem.
Eating disorders can be lethal. So lethal, in fact, that anorexia nervosa has a higher
mortality rate among young women than any other cause of death, and eating disorders
account for more fatalities in the U.S. than any other mental illness. And those statistics
obscure a more dramatic number, as many deaths resulting from eating disorders are
officially attributed to suicide, organ failure and other fatal complications that stem
directly from destructive eating behaviors.
The physical and emotional damage from eating disorders extends well beyond a fatal
outcome, however. Physical debilitation, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and social
withdrawal can last for years and have devastating personal and professional
consequences. This is especially true for young people whose bodies and minds are still
in their formative stages. Early intervention and treatment – before a person becomes
sick enough to be hospitalized – is therefore crucial to gain control of an eating disorder
and limiting its long-term harm.
2. That may sound simple, but it’s not. Identifying eating disorders poses multiple
challenges, and their causes differ from person to person. Genetic, biological, behavioral,
psychological, and social factors can all contribute to the development of an eating
disorder, which in turn can manifest in various ways that include both restrictive and
binge eating. Young men and women are constantly bombarded with messages about
dieting, maintaining low weight and unrealistic body size in order to be successful, and
peer pressure contributes to this perception. Resisting these messages is hardest for
teenagers trying to find their place in the world.
Because symptoms cross both medical and psychological lines, few high schools or
universities can employ the cumulative expertise needed to deal with the many cases that
cross their paths, and many go unrecognized. Even when a medical professional is able
to diagnose an eating disorder, limitations in the health-care system pose further
obstacles to recovery. Very few treatment centers specifically geared to young people
with eating disorders exist in the U.S. Effective treatment requires time and is best
achieved with a multi-disciplinary, team approach, but insurance coverage is often
inadequate to cover the costs. In fact, studies have found that only one in ten women and
men with eating disorders receive treatment.
In this context, increased public awareness offers the only immediate answer. Parents,
teachers, coaches, and peers must become more knowledgeable about eating disorders as
well as how and when to intervene. Recognizing the early warning signs and debunking
myths about eating disorders will lessen the fear and stigma associated with them. Online
resources produced by the National Eating Disorders Association and other advocacy
groups provide readily accessible information that can serve as a foundation for action.
We must all work together to stem the tide of this national affliction.
