This poster summarizes HIV and AIDS epidemiology trends in Houston/Harris County, Texas through 2008. It finds that while new AIDS cases decreased with effective drug treatment, they have recently increased among Hispanic males. HIV diagnoses decreased in females from 1999-2008 but increased in males after initially dropping. Blacks have disproportionately high rates of HIV/AIDS. Men who have sex with men and intravenous drug users remain at highest risk.
The document discusses stroke, including what it is, risk factors, symptoms, and prevention. Some key points:
- Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, either by a clot or ruptured blood vessel. It is a medical emergency.
- Risk factors include high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, smoking, high cholesterol, and diabetes. The National Stroke Association provides guidelines to help reduce risk.
- Symptoms of stroke include numbness, confusion, trouble seeing or walking. Anyone experiencing symptoms should call 911 immediately.
- Stroke can be prevented and treated. The 3 R's are reducing risk, recognizing symptoms, and responding to get immediate medical help.
The document discusses key facts and statistics about strokes:
- Nearly 800,000 people in the US experience a new or recurrent stroke each year, with 610,000 being first attacks and 185,000 being recurrent attacks.
- Every 40 seconds someone in the US has a stroke, and every 3-4 minutes someone dies of a stroke, making it the 4th leading cause of death.
- Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or a blood vessel breaks, causing brain cells to die permanently.
- Warning signs of a stroke include sudden numbness, confusion, vision issues, trouble walking, or severe headache. If noticed, call 911 immediately.
Stroke is caused by stenosis, occlusion or rupture of arteries in the brain, leading to focal neurological deficits. The most common type is cerebral thrombosis followed by hemorrhage. Major risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and cardiac abnormalities. A stroke control program aims to prevent strokes through community-level control of risk factors like hypertension, early treatment of transient ischemic attacks, and long-term management of stroke patients and complications.
The document discusses stroke, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, and the importance of rapid treatment. It outlines the "Stroke Chain of Survival and Recovery" which includes early detection, emergency dispatch, pre-hospital transport and management, emergency department triage, evaluation and specific therapies, and fibrinolytic drug therapy. Rapid recognition of stroke, emergency medical response, and treatment are critical to limiting neurological damage and improving patient outcomes.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

How to Control Your Asthma Tips by gokuldas hospital.Gokuldas Hospital
Respiratory issues like asthma are the most sensitive issue that is affecting millions worldwide. It hampers the daily activities leaving the body tired and breathless.
The key to a good grip on asthma is proper knowledge and management strategies. Understanding the patient-specific symptoms and carving out an effective treatment likewise is the best way to keep asthma under control.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.

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.

AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

2. • Problem Being Addressed: This poster describes the epidemiology
of HIV and AIDS in Houston/Harris County, Texas through 2008.
• Program Description: The Houston Department of Health and
Human Services has been reporting cases of AIDS since 1983 and
HIV since 1999 when it became a reportable disease in Texas.
• Analysis of new AIDS cases showed a rapid increase from 1981
through 1992. With the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy
(HAART) in 1996, the number of new AIDS cases precipitously
dropped through 1999. Deaths also dramatically decreased.
• Early in the epidemic, only 2% of the AIDS cases were in females.
By 2008, 28% of new cases were female.
• Trends in AIDS diagnosis show that from 1999 through 2008, AIDS
cases have been increasing in Hispanic males, steady in black males
and decreasing in white males.
• Over the same period there has been an increase in AIDS cases in
black females.
• The proportion of AIDS cases by race has changed from early in
the epidemic. In 2008, blacks accounted for 48% of new male
AIDS cases and 77% of new female AIDS cases.

10. • Analysis of new HIV cases regardless of AIDS status
showed a decrease in females from 1999 through 2008.
In males, cases decreased from 1999 through 2003 and
then increased through 2008.
• In 2008, the rate of new HIV diagnoses in males was 3.3
times the rate in females with females accounting for 23%
of new cases. Among males, blacks had 5.1 times the rate
in whites with blacks accounting for 50% of the new male
cases. In young men (13-24 yrs old) who have sex with
men, the number of new HIV cases more than doubled
from 1999 to 2008.
• Among females, blacks had 10.1 times the rate in whites
with blacks accounting for 74% of the new female cases.
• The map of new HIV cases shows that HIV cases are not
evenly distributed in Harris County but concentrated in
specific geographic areas.
• This analysis of new HIV cases in Houston/Harris Co.
suggests that groups most at risk for HIV are men who
have sex with men and black men and women in general.
