ODISHA, A STATE of 42 million people in eastern India, is one of the poorest in the country. It has faced many development challenges over the years, including insurgent movements, large pockets of extreme deprivation among scheduled tribe communities, social disparities, and natural disasters, as well as a relatively late fiscal turnaround (in 2004–2005) in comparison with other states. Yet Odisha has made significant progress in reducing child undernutrition—less than India as a whole, but more than many other richer states. How has it achieved this progress?Chapter 12: Getting to specifics: Bangladesh’s evolving nutrition policies [N...

REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN welfare and human development indicators in Bangladesh—including a notable reduction in the poverty headcount—have accompanied recent economic growth.1 Some aspects of nutrition have been part of this success story. For example, the percentage of underweight children declined by 1.1 percent per year and stunting rates declined by 1.3 percent per year between 1997 and 2007.2 And this trend has continued, with rates of child stunting falling to 36 percent in 2014 (Figure 12.1). Other countries may have experienced shorter, quicker reductions, but the Bangladesh story reflects “one of the fastest prolonged reductions in child underweight and stunting prevalence in recorded history.Nirmagamechangers
This document summarizes an initiative called Nourish to Flourish that aims to reduce malnutrition globally. Over 165 million children under 5 are stunted due to malnutrition, 52 million are too thin, and 43 million are overweight partly due to poverty. The causes of malnutrition are interconnected and include poverty, lack of empowerment of women, insufficient access to nutritious food and care for mothers and children, and inadequate access to health, sanitation and clean water services. The initiative takes a collaborative approach across countries, bringing together stakeholders from various sectors to coordinate actions, implement nutrition-specific interventions, and nutrition-sensitive strategies. Progress is tracked using targets and indicators to measure impacts on access to food, healthcare, and child nutrition outcomes like
Impact of obesity in America
Obesity rates in America have doubled over the last 50 years, with over 30% of adults now clinically obese. Long term effects of obesity include increased risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease, as well as lower life expectancy and earnings. If current trends continue, it's projected that 74% of Americans will be overweight or obese by 2020. The food industry and fast food restaurants contribute significantly through highly processed foods high in fat, sugar, and calories. Efforts are needed for education, healthier school lunches, preventive healthcare access, and taxes on unhealthy foods to help tackle the costly issue of obesity.

This document discusses food poverty and the Healthy Food for All initiative. Food poverty is defined as the inability to access nutritious food due to economic and social barriers. It can negatively impact health and development. The initiative operates on policy, networking, and community levels to promote access to affordable healthy food for low-income groups. It advocates for relevant food policies, fosters learning networks, and supports community food programs through a demonstration program to address this issue.
Day 1 session 1 (2015) intro

How do Americans define a 'Sustainable Diet'?
Nearly two-thirds of Americans have thought about whether their foods and beverages are produced in an environmentally sustainable way. But, there isn't much consensus about the meaning of a sustainable diet: 39% see it representing a ‘balanced, nutritious diet,’ 25% say it means foods are ‘affordable and readily available,’ and 23% say it means both that the foods you eat ‘have a smaller impact on the environment’ and that they are ‘produced in a socially responsible way.’ What does a 'sustainable diet' mean to you?

Women Key To Food Security
The document discusses how empowering women is key to achieving food and nutrition security. It recommends eradicating gender discrimination, improving women's legal and social status through reforms, increasing access to education for women and girls, and targeting resources directly to women, such as food aid, agricultural inputs, credit, and technologies. Research shows that empowering women in these ways reduces poverty and malnutrition, increases productivity, and promotes better food security for all.

This document discusses the implications of an inadequate diet among urban informal settlers in South Africa. It finds that residents of informal settlements have double the HIV prevalence of formal urban areas and are more likely to have deficient dietary diversity scores. A variety of foods is needed to ensure adequate nutrient intake, but many low-income people select cheaper, less healthy diets high in sugar and fat due to economic factors. An inadequate diet can lead to both undernutrition and overnutrition. Addressing food insecurity requires looking at issues of access, availability, and utilization in a holistic way.

Chapter 18: Championing nutrition: Effective leadership for action [Nourishin...International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
THE CALLS FOR strong leadership in the fight against global and national malnutrition have multiplied during the past decade. The role of nutrition champions in advocating for nutrition, formulating policies, and coordinating and implementing action in nutrition have increasingly been recognized in such countries as Peru, Brazil, Thailand, and the Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. Global initiatives such as the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, the African Nutrition Leadership Programme, and the European Nutrition Leadership Platform have invested in building up capacity for leadership among national governments, civil society, and the private sector. The World Public Health Nutrition Association’s guide on competencies needed to build up the workforce in global public health nutrition identified leadership as key. More widely, leadership within the field of public health has been highlighted as key to moving child or maternal health higher up on the global agenda and tackling critical issues such as HIV and AIDS at the national and community levels.Clunes-CHNA-SUMMARY
The assessment identified several priority health issues for the Clunes community, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental health conditions, and obesity. Younger residents were more concerned with mental health and obesity, while older residents prioritized arthritis, mobility issues, and injuries from falls. Key needs included improved access to GPs, aged care services, mental health support, youth activities, and exercise programs. The report made recommendations to address these needs through partnerships between health services, local organizations, businesses, and the community.

SEVERE ACUTE MALNUTRITION (SAM)—extremely low weight for one’s height—is a life-threatening condition affecting mostly children under five years of age. It is caused by a combination of infection, such as diarrheal disease, and poor diets that are inadequate for nutritional needs. SAM is one of the top three nutrition-related causes of death in children under five according to the 2008 Maternal and Child Nutrition Lancet Series. A child with SAM is 11 times more likely to die than a well-nourished child. Despite the size of the problem, until the early 2000s SAM appeared to be a so-called neglected disease: little support went to large-scale treatment programs targeted toward children with SAM. Few countries-even among those with a high prevalence of malnutrition-had a clear national policy for detecting and treating SAM children.10 The development and adoption of a new approach-the community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM)-was to change the public health nutrition landscape by bringing treatment out of hospitals and into the community Perspective from Northern Ireland - Sean Martin
This document discusses challenges in enforcing tobacco control legislation in Northern Ireland. It summarizes enforcement statistics for smoke-free environments from 2010-2013, showing numbers of warnings and fines issued for various offenses. It also discusses challenges in enforcing smoke-free rules in vehicles and shelters. The document outlines efforts to restrict youth access to tobacco, including retail display bans, vending machine restrictions, and test purchases to check for underage sales. It raises questions about the effectiveness of current regulations and enforcement approaches and how to strengthen tobacco control policies going forward.

This document outlines Ireland's plan to achieve a tobacco free society by 2025 with a smoking rate of less than 5%. Key aspects of the plan include strengthening tobacco control policies like marketing restrictions and smoke-free laws, increasing enforcement and compliance, expanding cessation programs, and reducing youth smoking rates which have already declined significantly but remain unacceptable. The goal is to continue building on past successes like workplace smoking bans and packaging restrictions to promote health and denormalize tobacco use.

The document discusses the contribution of international law to global health governance based on the experience of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). Historically, health was neglected in international law but interest has grown since the FCTC's adoption in 2003. The FCTC negotiations showed how international law can promote global cooperation on cross-border health issues and help address the globalization of public health problems. Key lessons from the FCTC process include assessing political support for health treaties and considering alternative legal designs and the value of negotiation processes themselves in addition to final legal instruments.

This document summarizes research examining the relationship between early childhood health and cognitive outcomes using data from the Growing Up in Ireland survey. The research finds that some measures of child ill health are associated with significantly lower vocabulary and reasoning test scores at age 5, independent of demographics, socioeconomic factors, and educational environment. Specifically, conditions impacting daily life and poor health as reported by caregivers showed associations with lower scores. While the health factors explained only a small percentage of test score variation, the effect sizes were not insubstantial. The conclusions call for further research using larger datasets to examine additional health measures and older age groups.Philip Watt, Cystic Fibrosis Ireland and Christine Collins NI Rare Diseases P...

Patient and public involvement (PPI) in healthcare aims to give people a voice in decisions about issues that affect them. This document discusses PPI related to rare diseases on both sides of the Ireland border. It outlines the development of rare disease networks and plans in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Cross-border collaboration through conferences and information sharing has raised awareness of rare diseases and identified areas for increased cooperation, such as research, transplant services, genetics services, and clinical trials. Moving forward, focus remains on implementing plans, continuing public involvement, addressing potential Brexit impacts, and securing funding.Dr Frances Duffy - CLEAR dementia care: look at all of me
The document describes the CLEAR Dementia Care model used by the Dementia Home Support Team. The team accepts referrals for people with dementia exhibiting behavioral and psychological symptoms. They presented the case of Mrs. Jones, referred for inappropriate toileting, pacing and aggression. Using life history and behavior charts, the team determined Mrs. Jones' behaviors were due to lack of activity and toileting assistance. By providing meaningful activities and regular toilet visits, Mrs. Jones' behaviors improved and she was less isolated in the care home. The CLEAR model reduced wait times and improved clinical effectiveness and service user experience.

Lessons from MESAS: Monitoring and Evaluating Scotland's Alcohol Strategy (ME...Institute of Public Health in Ireland
The MESAS approach to evaluating Scotland's alcohol strategy and minimum unit pricing policy focuses on building a robust evidence base through a portfolio of quantitative and qualitative studies. It aims to determine the policy's impact on alcohol consumption and harms while considering external factors, and to communicate findings in a way that informs the upcoming parliamentary vote without becoming too politicized. The evaluation emphasizes theoretical frameworks, mixed methods, transparency, stakeholder engagement, and maintaining its credibility and independence to ensure its findings can guide the future of the policy.Prof. Shane O'Mara - Trinity College Dublin
This document discusses the science of human walking and its benefits. It explores how walking first evolved in the sea over 420 million years ago based on genetic studies of sea creatures. While walking was long thought to have originated on land, many bottom-dwelling sea animals actually walk along the ocean floor. The document also examines the cognitive and health benefits of walking, such as increased creativity and reduced dementia risk, and argues that cities and towns should be designed to make walking easy, accessible, safe, and enjoyable for all.

Michael Mc Corry
This document summarizes Michael McCorry's PhD research on interventions to reduce sedentary behavior in older adults. It outlines the objectives to systematically review literature on physical activity and behavioral interventions targeting sedentary time in older populations. A search of various databases retrieved over 19,000 records, which were screened according to PRISMA guidelines. 10 studies met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed in detail, finding mostly low quality evidence and small effect sizes of interventions. The conclusions call for improved measurement of sedentary behavior and more developed interventions in early-stage research.
Andrew Boyd
This document discusses physical activity promotion in primary care. It finds that the UK has high rates of physical inactivity compared to other countries. Regular physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. However, getting patients more active is challenging for general practitioners due to time constraints, lack of knowledge, and limited local exercise options. The document recommends solutions like educational toolkits, social prescribing programs, and designating practices as health and wellness centers to address these barriers and better promote physical activity.
Prof. Kevin Balanda - Lifetime costs of childhood obesity in Northern Ireland
Prof. Kevin Balanda - Lifetime costs of childhood obesity in Northern IrelandInstitute of Public Health in Ireland
The document summarizes research estimating the lifetime costs of childhood obesity in Northern Ireland. It finds that the total lifetime financial cost is £2.25 billion (€2.53 billion). This cost could be reduced by 15.7% or £353.2 million with a 5% reduction in childhood BMI. Compared to the Republic of Ireland, lifetime costs per person are higher in Northern Ireland due to differences in healthcare systems and discount rates. The research indicates huge future costs of inaction and significant potential savings from modest reductions in childhood obesity.Dr. Mimi Tatlow-Golden - food marketing to children
This document discusses food marketing to children and outlines some of the key issues and opportunities for policy changes. It notes that food marketing spends millions advertising unhealthy products to children and that exposure to food ads can account for up to 23% of the variance in children's food choices and obesity rates. It also discusses how digital marketing may amplify the effects of television advertising on children. The document argues for stronger regulations and policies to restrict unhealthy food marketing to children, in line with WHO recommendations. It identifies upcoming opportunities for policy changes being considered in the UK and Ireland.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
