Dynamics of disease transmission
This document provides an overview of the dynamics of disease transmission. It discusses the key elements involved, including:
1) The infectious agent - the pathogen that causes disease. It covers aspects like infectivity, pathogenicity, and virulence.
2) The source or reservoir - where the infectious agent lives and multiplies, such as humans, animals, or the environment. It can be the starting point for disease occurrence.
3) Modes of transmission - how the pathogen moves between the reservoir and a susceptible host. This includes direct contact, droplets, vectors, and indirect transmission through vehicles like food, water, fomites etc.
It describes other important epidemiological concepts like incubation period, generation
Epidemiological investigations
Epidemiological investigations are conducted during outbreak situations to determine the cause and implement control measures. The key steps include: 1) confirming the outbreak, 2) confirming diagnoses, 3) determining the number of cases, 4) organizing data by time, place and person, 5) developing hypotheses, 6) comparing hypotheses to facts, 7) executing control measures, and 8) writing a report. Questionnaires are used to gather information and orient data to identify patterns and associations.

Dynamics of disease transmission
This document discusses the dynamics of disease transmission. It defines a reservoir as any living or non-living carrier that harbors an infectious agent. It identifies humans and animals as important reservoirs that can be clinical cases, subclinical carriers, or latent carriers. Diseases are transmitted either directly from person to person via contact or droplets, or indirectly via vectors like flies or fomites. A susceptible host is one that can be infected through a portal of entry, have the disease incubate at a site of election, and potentially transmit through a portal of exit if their immunity is low enough.
Trends and issues in nursing [compatibility mode]
The document discusses trends and issues in nursing that nurses need to study. It covers topics like nursing education, research, management, and services and how trends globally, regionally, and nationally affect them. Other areas discussed include ethics, legal aspects, health advocacy, technology use, emerging nursing roles, and the future direction of healthcare systems and nursing education. The document emphasizes the importance of studying trends and issues for sound decision making and navigating possible future scenarios in nursing.
Principles of control of communicable diseases dr.wah
The document outlines 12 principles of control of communicable diseases: notification, early diagnosis and prompt treatment, reporting, isolation, quarantine, disinfection, disinfestation, immunoprophylaxis, chemoprophylaxis, health education, environmental sanitation, and surveillance. Notification involves informing local health authorities of suspected infectious diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent spread of infection. Other key principles include isolation of patients, quarantine of exposed individuals, disinfection to kill infectious agents, immunization to prevent disease, and health education of communities. Surveillance involves monitoring disease spread and investigating cases and outbreaks.
Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of factors affecting the health of populations and the foundation of public health. Key events in its history include Hippocrates examining disease relationships to environment, John Snow identifying the Broad Street pump as the cause of a cholera outbreak, and recent studies linking smoking to lung cancer. Descriptive epidemiology involves measuring disease occurrence in populations to identify risk factors, form hypotheses, and guide public health programs.

Epidemiology triad
This is a very short and crucial topic for nursing students in the field of Epidemiology and its triad
Measurements in epidemiology
This document discusses various epidemiological terms used to measure disease frequency and distribution in a population. It defines rate, ratio, and proportion as different ways of comparing two quantities, with rate expressing the occurrence of an event over time, ratio comparing the relative sizes or values of two quantities without a time component, and proportion expressing one quantity as a percentage of the whole. It also defines various epidemiological measures including incidence, prevalence, attack rate, case fatality rate, and different types of mortality rates.
Uses of epidemiology
Epidemiology is defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states in populations. It differs from clinical medicine in that it focuses on groups rather than individuals and uses quantitative tools to study communities. Epidemiology has many uses including healthcare management by making community diagnoses, understanding disease processes, guiding public health practice through disease investigation and surveillance, and informing clinical practice and research through evaluating treatments and assessing effectiveness of diagnostic procedures. Overall, epidemiology provides essential population-level insights that aid in healthcare planning, policy development, and clinical decision-making.
Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of disease distribution and determinants in populations. It aims to describe disease distribution, identify risk factors, and provide data to prevent and control disease. Key concepts include measuring disease frequency through rates, examining disease distribution by time, place and person, and identifying disease determinants and causes. Epidemiology is used to study disease trends over time, diagnose community health issues, plan and evaluate health services, assess individual disease risks, further the natural history of disease, and search for disease causes and risk factors.
Concept map care plan
A concept map care plan is a diagram that organizes a patient's problems, supporting data, interventions, and evaluations to provide a holistic view of the patient's situation. It involves 5 steps: 1) developing a basic diagram of the patient's reason for admission and problems, 2) analyzing and categorizing collected data, 3) identifying goals and interventions for each diagnosis, 4) evaluating the effectiveness of the plan and whether goals were achieved, and 5) linking related diagnoses to show their impacts on one another. The overall purpose is to organize patient information to effectively plan and provide nursing care.
Role Of Spirituality In Health Illness
The document discusses the importance of addressing spirituality in health and illness. It notes that modern medicine has focused more on technology than caring for the whole person, including their physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. Research shows strong connections between spirituality/religious practices and better health outcomes like coping with illness, recovery from surgery, and immune system functioning. The document advocates taking a spiritual history as part of patient care and addressing spiritual issues compassionately with patients.
1.6 standardization
This document discusses different types of rates used to compare disease occurrence between populations and over time. It introduces crude rates, specific rates, and standardized rates. Standardized rates allow for fair comparisons between populations by adjusting for characteristics like age that influence disease risk. The document outlines direct and indirect standardization methods. Direct standardization applies the actual age-specific rates from study populations to a standard population, while indirect standardization applies age-specific rates from a standard population to the age structure of the study populations. Both allow comparison of disease rates between populations after accounting for differences in age distribution.
Epidemiology for nursing student
Epidemiology is the study of disease frequency, distribution, and determinants in populations. Some key points about epidemiology include:
- It aims to describe disease problems, identify causes, and provide data to plan prevention and control efforts.
- Rates, ratios, and proportions are measurement tools used to compare disease occurrence between populations and time periods.
- Mortality data from death records can provide information about disease occurrence but have limitations like incomplete reporting.
- Morbidity data examines illness in populations and can be measured through incidence rates (new cases over time) and prevalence (all current cases).
- Descriptive studies examine disease frequency and distribution while analytical studies identify risk factors and experimental studies test hypotheses.
Screening
Screening is a tool used to identify undiagnosed cases of disease in a population using rapid tests. The objectives of screening are to reduce mortality and morbidity through early detection and treatment, and to maintain or enhance production through better disease management. Screening aims to separate healthy individuals who likely have a disease from those who do not, though a positive screening test requires more diagnostic testing. Effective screening involves both diagnostic testing and treatment components, and aims to identify existing disease in asymptomatic individuals. The only valid measure of a screening program's effectiveness is its impact on disease-specific mortality rates.
METHODS OF HEALTH EDUCATION (1).pptx

2) A coordinated, evidence-based statewide prevention system is needed to eliminate silos and political agendas. Local needs can still be met through ongoing community assessments.
3) Prevention must integrate across systems and sectors through partnerships. The prevention workforce, leadership, and dissemination of research must expand to engage all parts of the community, including businesses and organizations. Coordination is needed across federal, state and
Evalhire
The document provides guidance on how to hire the right evaluator for a tobacco prevention and control program evaluation. It outlines four key guidelines: 1) Define the evaluation focus, activities, and develop a request for proposals; 2) Review proposals based on understanding of the evaluation/program, proposed questions/methodology, timeline, and budget; 3) Interview top candidates and check references and previous work; 4) Finalize a contract with the selected evaluator. The document emphasizes the importance of a well-planned evaluation in improving tobacco prevention programs and identifies criteria for selecting an evaluator that can meet the specific needs and goals of the evaluation.
Ignoring Drug And Alcohol Prevention Is Costly
The economic cost of drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse in the United States is more than $500 billion per year. Effective substance abuse prevention can yield major economic savings, with every $1 invested in prevention saving between $10-20 in treatment costs. Research shows preventive interventions are most economically beneficial when the condition is prevalent and costly, effective interventions exist, and intervention costs are low.
2017 Evidence-based prevention national standards
Prevention programs should address risk and protective factors, tailor interventions to the specific risks and population, and enhance protective factors like family bonding. Effective programs provide parenting skills, teach families how to develop and enforce drug policies, and give parents drug education to discuss with their children. School-based programs can intervene early to address risk factors for drug abuse.

Forum on investing in young children globally
FORUM ON INVESTING IN YOUNG
CHILDREN GLOBALLY OVERVIEW
In January 2014, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the
Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC), in
collaboration with the IOM Board on Global Health, launched the Forum
on Investing in Young Children Globally (forum). At this meeting, the
participants agreed to focus on creating and sustaining, over 3 years, an
evidence-driven community of stakeholders that aims to explore existing,
new, and innovative science and research from around the world and
translate this evidence into sound and strategic investments in policies
and practices that will make a difference in the lives of children and their
caregivers.
Interventions for mental & substance use
Abstract
Approximately 20 percent of Americans are affected by mental health and substance use
disorders, which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While the evidence
base for the effectiveness of interventions to treat these disorders is sizable, a considerable gap
exists between what is known to be effective and interventions that are actually delivered in
clinical care. Addressing this quality chasm in mental health and substance use care is
particularly critical given the recent passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, which are changing the delivery of
care and access to treatments for mental health and substance use disorders. Increasing
emphasis on accountability and performance measurement, moreover, will require strategies to
promote and measure the quality of psychosocial interventions.
In this report, the study committee develops a framework that can be used to chart a path
toward the ultimate goal of improving the outcomes of psychosocial interventions for those with
mental health and substance use disorders. This framework identifies the key steps entailed in
successfully bringing an evidence-based psychosocial intervention into clinical practice. It
highlights the need to (1) support research to strengthen the evidence base on the efficacy and
effectiveness of psychosocial interventions; (2) based on this evidence, identify the key elements
that drive an intervention’s effect; (3) conduct systematic reviews to inform clinical guidelines
that incorporate these key elements; (4) using the findings of these systematic reviews, develop
quality measures—measures of the structure, process, and outcomes of interventions; and
(5) establish methods for successfully implementing and sustaining these interventions in regular
practice including the training of providers of these interventions. The committee intends for this
framework to be an iterative one, with the results of the process being fed back into the evidence
base and the cycle beginning anew. Central to the framework is the importance of using the
consumer perspective to inform the process.
The recommendations offered in this report are intended to assist policy makers, health
care organizations, and payers that are organizing and overseeing the provision of care for
mental health and substance use disorders while navigating a new health care landscape. The
recommendations also target providers, professional societies, funding agencies, consumers, and
researchers, all of whom have a stake in ensuring that evidence-based, high-quality care is
provided to individuals receiving mental health and substance use services.

IOM BUILDING CAPACITY TO REDUCE BULLYING
This document provides an overview of a workshop on building capacity to reduce bullying. The workshop, organized by the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, brought together representatives from different sectors involved in bullying prevention. Presenters discussed research on effective bullying prevention programs in schools, with peers, families, communities, and online. Student and school personnel panels also shared perspectives. The goal was to identify successful conceptual models and interventions, discuss how to increase protective factors for youth, and explore appropriate roles for different groups in prevention. Over 200 people participated via webcast. The workshop aimed to help address the substantial public health problem of bullying and close remaining knowledge gaps.
Iom building capacity to reduce bullying
Bullying—long tolerated as just a part of growing up—finally has been recognized as a substantial and preventable health problem. Bullying is associated with anxiety, depression, poor school performance, and future
delinquent behavior among its targets, and reports regularly surface of youth who have committed suicide at least in part because of intolerable bullying. Bullying can also have harmful effects on children who bully, on
bystanders, on school climates, and on society at large. Bullying can occur at all ages, from before elementary school to after high school. It can take the form of physical violence, verbal attacks, social isolation, spreading
rumors, or cyber bullying.
Increased concern about bullying has led 49 states and the District of Columbia to enact anti-bullying legislation since 1999. In addition, researchon the causes, consequences, and prevention of bullying has expanded greatly in recent decades. However, major gaps still exist in the understanding of bullying and of interventions that can prevent or mitigate the effectsof bullying.
This publication examines reviewed research on bullying
prevention and intervention efforts as well as efforts in related areas of research and practice, implemented in a range of contexts and settings, including
• Schools
• Peers
• Families
• Communities
• Laws and Public Policies
• Technology
Alcohol Prices Study nihms441745
This document analyzes the affordability of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1950 to 2011. It finds that alcohol has become dramatically more affordable over this period due to declines in real prices. The percentage of mean disposable income required to purchase one drink per day of the cheapest spirits brand fell from 4.46% in 1950 to 0.29% in 2011. Affordability of popular beer and wine brands also increased substantially. Reduced federal and state alcohol tax rates, which were not adjusted for inflation, were a major driver of the declines in real prices and increases in affordability. Higher and indexed tax rates could help mitigate further declines in prices and increases in affordability.
Financing population health improvement IOM
Despite spending far more on medical care than any other nation and despite having seen a century of unparalleled improvement in population health and longevity, the United States has fallen behind many of its global counterparts and competitors in such health outcomes as overall life expectancy and rates of preventable diseases and
injuries.
A fundamental but often overlooked driver of the imbalance
between spending and outcomes is the nation’s inadequate investment in nonclinical strategies that promote health and prevent disease and injury population-wide, strategies that fall under the rubric of “population
health.
Business engagement in building healthy communities
Businesses across the nation are involved in every aspect of their communities and the economy and can be powerful partners in terms of improving the health of the nation, said George Isham, a senior advisor at HealthPartners, Inc., a senior fellow at the HealthPartners Institute for Education and Research, and a co-chair of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Population Health Improvement. On July 30, 2014, the IOM roundtable held a workshop at the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) in New York City to consider the role of business in improving population health beyond the usual worksite wellness and health promotion activities.
In welcoming participants to NYAM, the academy’s president, Jo Ivey Boufford, said that economic development is a crucial factor in achieving population health and that there are many opportunities to create win–win situations for business to promote population health in the communities where they live and serve. She added that in New York State business has been a fundamental
part of a large, multi-stakeholder group that is implementing a prevention agenda for the state and helping communities to identify and address priority needs.
Promising and best practices in total worker health
Combined with the more traditional employer occupational safety and health protection activities are newer employment-based programs to promote better health through helping workers quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or exercise more regularly. In support of these efforts, some employers have made changes in their policies and facilities to support physical activity and healthier eating, and some employers connect with ommunity resources for health education, health fairs, and
other services. From company to company, the interest in, resources for, and ability to do more for employee health and well-being vary. Employees’ interest in, needs for, and priorities for these types of programs also vary.

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.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
